Staphylococcus aureus stimulates neutrophil itaconate production that suppresses the oxidative burst

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are critical in the host defense against Staphylococcus aureus, a major human pathogen. However, even in the setting of a robust neutrophil response, S. aureus can cause persistent infection. Here we demonstrate that S. aureus impairs neutrophil function by triggering the production of the anti-inflammatory metabolite, itaconate. The enzyme that synthesizes itaconate, Irg1, is selectively expressed in neutrophils during S. aureus pneumonia. Itaconate inhibits neutrophil glycolysis and oxidative burst, which impairs survival and bacterial killing. In a murine pneumonia model, neutrophil Irg1 expression protects critical lung cell populations from oxidative stress but compromises bacterial clearance. S. aureus is thus able to evade innate immune clearance by targeting neutrophil metabolism and inducing the production of the antiinflammatory metabolite itaconate.

Neutrophil-derived IL-1β is sufficient for abscess formation in immunity against Staphylococcus aureus in mice

Project description:Neutrophil abscess formation is critical in innate immunity against many pathogens. Here, the mechanism of neutrophil abscess formation was investigated using a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus cutaneous infection. Gene expression analysis of S. aureus-infected skin revealed that induction of neutrophil recruitment genes was largely dependent upon IL-1beta/IL-1R activation. Unexpectedly, using IL 1beta reporter mice, neutrophils were identified as the primary source of IL-1beta at the site of infection. Furthermore, IL-1beta-producing neutrophils were necessary and sufficient for abscess formation and bacterial clearance. S. aureus-induced IL 1beta production by neutrophils required TLR2, NOD2, FPRs and the ASC/NLRP3 inflammasome. Taken together, IL-1beta and neutrophil abscess formation during an infection are functionally, spatially and temporally linked as a consequence of direct IL-1beta production by neutrophils. Lesional skin biopsies obtained from C57BL/6J WT mice or IL-1R-deficient mice at 4 hours post-infection with Staphylococcus aureus. Uninfected skin biopsies were also collected from WT and IL-1R-deficient mice.

Immune-Responsive Gene 1 expression in myeloid cells prevents neutrophil mediated immunopathology during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, in vivo neutrophil data

Project description:Immune-Responsive Gene 1 (Irg1) is a mitochondrial enzyme that produces itaconate under inflammatory conditions principally in cells of myeloid lineage. Cell culture studies suggest that itaconate regulates inflammation through inhibitory effects on cytokine and reactive oxygen species production. To evaluate the functions of Irg1 in vivo, we challenged wild-type (WT) and Irg1 KO mice with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and monitored disease progression. Irg1 KO but not WT mice succumbed rapidly to Mtb, and mortality was associated with increased infection, inflammation, and pathology. Infection of LysM-Cre Irg1 flox, MPR8-Cre Irg1 flox, and CD11c-Cre Irg1 flox conditional knockout mice along with neutrophil depletion experiments revealed a role for Irg1 in alveolar macrophages and LysM+ myeloid cells in preventing neutrophil-mediated immunopathology and disease. RNA-seq analyses suggest that Irg1 and its production of itaconate temper Mtb-induced inflammatory responses in myeloid cells at the transcriptional level. Thus, Irg1 modulates inflammation to curtail Mtb-induced lung disease.

Effects of itaconate on gene expression in mouse CD8 T cells

Project description:The tumor microenvironment possesses multiple overlapping mechanisms that suppress anti-tumor immunity. Itaconate is a metabolite produced from the Krebs cycle intermediate cis-aconitate by the activity of immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1). While it is known to be immune modulatory, the role of itaconate in anti-tumor immunity is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) secreted itaconate that can be taken up by CD8+ T cells and suppress their proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic activity. Metabolite profiling, stable-isotope tracing and metabolite supplementation studies indicated that itaconate suppressed biosynthesis of aspartate and serine/glycine in CD8+ T cells to attenuate their proliferation. Moreover, stromal deletion of IRG1 in mice bearing allografted tumors resulted in decreased tumor growth, inhibited the immune suppressive activities of MDSCs, reduced levels of itaconate in tumors, promoted anti-tumor immunity of CD8+ T cells, and enhanced the anti-tumor activity of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment. Importantly, we found a significant negative correlation between IRG1 expression and response to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma patients. Our findings not only reveal a previously unknown role of itaconate as an immune checkpoint metabolite secreted from MDSCs to suppress CD8+ T cells, but also establish IRG1 as a novel myeloid-selective target in immunometabolism to promote anti-tumor immunity and enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint protein blockade.

Smith2011 - Three Stage Innate Immune Response to a Pneumococcal Lung Infection

Project description:Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mathematical modeling to investigate the coordination of immune responses and the effects of initial inoculum on outcome. To evaluate the contributions of individual components, we systematically build a mathematical model from three subsystems that describe the succession of defensive cells in the lung: resident alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The alveolar macrophage response, which can be modeled by a single differential equation, can by itself rapidly clear small initial numbers of pneumococci. Extending the model to include the neutrophil response required additional equations for recruitment cytokines and host cell status and damage. With these dynamics, two outcomes can be predicted: bacterial clearance or sustained bacterial growth. Finally, a model including monocyte-derived macrophage recruitment by neutrophils suggests that sustained bacterial growth is possible even in their presence. Our model quantifies the contributions of cytotoxicity and immune-mediated damage in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

Comparative evaluation of metabolic, electrophilic, and immunologic effects of itaconate and its ester derivatives on macrophage activation

Project description:Itaconate is a metabolite naturally produced in large amounts in macrophages after exposure to immune stimulation. Following the discovery of itaconate’s immunoregulatory properties, several ester derivatives of this dicarboxylic acid were designed to further examine its role. We evaluated the metabolic, electrophilic, and immunologic profiles of macrophages treated with unmodified itaconate and a panel of itaconate derivatives. We found that only unmodified itaconate strongly enhances LPS-induced IFNb secretion after 12h pre-treatment. Thus, we compared the transcriptional profile of wild type and Irg1-/- cells, which are unable to produce itaconate, after 24h LPS stimulation. We find that cells lacking itaconate have impaired downstream type I interferon signaling, and that addition of itaconate Irg1-/- BMDMs restores this signaling back to levels comparable to wild type. This data highlights the role of itaconate as an immunoregulatory metabolite, and highlights the importance of using unmodified itaconate or genetic knockout models in future mechanistic studies.

Differential ability of pandemic and seasonal H1N1 influenza 1 A virus to alter function of human neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophils are essential cells of host innate immunity. Although the role of neutrophils in defense against bacterial and fungal infections is well characterized, there is relative paucity of information about their role against viral infections. Influenza A virus (IAV) infection can be associated with secondary bacterial co-infection, and it has long been posited that the ability of IAV to alter normal neutrophil function predisposes individuals to secondary bacterial infections. To better understand this phenomenon, we evaluated the interaction of pandemic or seasonal H1N1 IAV with human neutrophils isolated from healthy subjects. These viruses were ingested by human neutrophils and elicited changes in neutrophil gene expression that are consistent with an interferon-mediated immune response. Viability of neutrophils following co-culture with either pandemic and seasonal H1N1 IAV was similar for up to 18 h of culture. Notably, neutrophil exposure to seasonal IAV (but not pandemic IAV) primed these leukocytes for enhanced functions, including production of reactive oxygen species and bactericidal activity. Taken together, our results are at variance with the universal idea that IAV impairs neutrophil function directly to predispose individuals to secondary bacterial infections. Rather, we suggest some strains of IAV prime neutrophils for enhanced bacterial clearance.

Itaconate suppresses atherosclerosis by impeding inflammation through Nrf2 signaling

Project description:Itaconate has emerged as a critical immunoregulatory metabolite. Here, we examined the therapeutic potential of itaconate in atherosclerosis. We found that both itaconate and the enzyme that synthesizes it, aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1, also known as “immune-responsive gene 1”/IRG1) are upregulated during atherogenesis in mice. Here we analzyed the anatomy of atherosclerotic plaques from wildtype and Acod1-/- mice through single cell RNA-seq.
