Single cell RNA sequencing of murine ankle joints over time reveals distinct transcriptional and cellular changes in response to Borrelia burgdorferi infection

ABSTRACT: Borreliella burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease, which is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. While cases of Lyme disease are geographically limited to the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and Midwest states, there are still estimates of almost 500,000 cases annually in the United States alone. In this study, we sought to assess transcriptional changes that occur in response to B. burgdorferi infection in the ankle joints of C57BL/6 mice. To this end, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to transcriptionally profile cells, identify population heterogeneity, and analyze how cellular environments change over time. Sequencing of immune and non-immune cells in the mouse ankle joint was performed over five distinct time points, starting with uninfected animals and progressing to eight weeks post-infection in two-week increments.

Transcription profiling of mouse model of Lyme disease

Project description:The murine model of Lyme disease provides a unique opportunity to study the localized host response to similar stimulus, B. burgdorferi, in the joints of mice destined to develop severe arthritis (C3H) or mild disease (C57BL/6). Pathways associated with the response to infection and the development of Lyme arthritis were identified by global gene expression patterns using oligonucleotide microarrays. A robust induction of IFN responsive genes was observed in severely arthritic C3H mice at one week of infection, which was absent from mildly arthritic C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, infected C57BL/6 mice displayed a novel expression profile characterized by genes involved in epidermal differentiation and wound repair, which were decreased in the joints of C3H mice. These expression patterns were associated with disease state rather than inherent differences between C3H and C57BL/6 mice, as C57BL/6-IL10-/- mice infected with B. burgdorferi develop more severe arthritis that C57BL/6 mice and displayed an early gene expression profile similar to C3H mice. Gene expression profiles at two and four weeks post infection revealed a common response of all strains that was likely to be important for the host defense to B. burgdorferi and mediated by NF-kB-dependent signaling. The gene expression profiles identified in this study add to the current understanding of the host response to B. burgdorferi and identify two novel pathways that may be involved in regulating the severity of Lyme arthritis. Experiment Overall Design: Expression profiling of ankle tissues of C3H, C57BL/6, and C57BL/6-IL10-/- mice infected with B. burgdorfer (0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-infection)

A Diagnostic Classifier for Gene Expression-Based Identification of Early Lyme Disease

Project description:Lyme disease is a tickborne illness that causes an estimated 476,000 infections annually in the United States. New diagnostic tests are urgently needed, as existing antibody-based assays lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Using transcriptome profiling by RNA-Seq, targeted RNA sequencing, and machine learning (ML)-based classification of 218 subjects, we identified a 31-gene Lyme disease classifier (LDC) to discriminate early Lyme patients from “non-Lyme” controls infected with influenza, bacteremia, or tuberculosis or uninfected asymptomatic controls. Among the 31 classifier genes, 23 (74.2%) had previously been described in association with clinical investigations of Lyme disease patients or in vitro cell culture and rodent studies of Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Evaluation of the LDC using an independent test set of samples from 63 subjects (16 Lyme seropositive patients, 14 Lyme seronegative patients, and 33 controls) yielded an overall sensitivity of 90.0%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 95.2%. The LDC was positive in 85.7% of seronegative patients and persisted for ≥3 weeks in available longitudinal samples from 9 of 12 (75%) patients. These results highlight the potential clinical utility of a gene expression classifier for diagnosis of early Lyme disease.

Global transcriptome analysis identifies a signature for early disseminated Lyme disease and its resolution

Project description:Lyme disease (LD), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common tick-borne infectious disease in the United States. We examined gene expression patterns in the blood of individuals with early disseminated LD at the time of diagnosis (Acute LD) and also at approximately 1 month and 6 months following antibiotic treatment. A distinct acute LD profile was observed that was sustained during early convalescence (1 month) but returned to control levels six months after treatment. Using a computer learning algorithm, we identified sets of 20 classifier genes that discriminate LD from other bacterial and viral infections. In addition, these novel LD biomarkers are highly acurate in distinvuishing patients with acute LD from healthy subjects and in discriminating between individuals with active and resolved infecitons. This computational approach offers the potential for more accurate diagnosis of early dissminated Lyme disease. It may also allow improved monitoring of treatment efficacy and disease resolution.

Transcription profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or untreated to investigate immune responses to Lyme disease

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, promotes pro-inflammatory changes in endothelium that lead to the recruitment of leukocytes. The host immune response to infection results in increased levels of IFN-gamma in the serum and lesions of Lyme disease patients that correlate with greater severity of disease. Therefore, the effect of IFN-gamma on the gene expression profile of primary human endothelial cells exposed to B. burgdorferi was determined. B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma synergistically augmented the expression of 34 genes, seven of which encode chemokines. Six of these (CCL7, CCL8, CX3CL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11) attract T lymphocytes, and one (CXCL2) is specific for neutrophils. Synergistic production of the attractants for T cells was confirmed at the protein level. IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and LPS also cooperated with IFN-gamma to induce synergistic production of CXCL10 by endothelium, indicating that IFN-gamma potentiates inflammation in concert with a variety of mediators. An in vitro model of the blood vessel wall revealed that an increased number of human T lymphocytes traversed endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma, as compared to unstimulated endothelial monolayers. In contrast, addition of IFN-gamma diminished the migration of neutrophils across B. burgdorferi-activated endothelium. IFN-gamma thus alters gene expression by endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi in a manner that promotes recruitment of T cells and suppresses that of neutrophils. This modulation may facilitate the development of chronic inflammatory lesions in Lyme disease. Experiment Overall Design: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were stimulated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or were left unstimulated. Affymetrix HGU133 plus 2.0 slides were used in duplicate for each condition.

Epigenomic landscape of Lyme disease spirochetes reveals novel motifs

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, persists in nature through an enzootic cycle consisting of a vertebrate host and an Ixodes tick vector. The sequence motifs modified by two well-characterized restriction/modification loci of B. burgdorferi type strain B31 were recently described, but the methylation profiles of other Lyme disease Borrelia have not been characterized. Herein, the methylomes of B. burgdorferi type strain B31 and 7 clonal derivatives, along with B. burgdorferi N40, B. burgdorferi 297, B. burgdorferi CA-11, B. afzelii PKo, B. afzelii BO23, and B. garinii PBr, were defined through PacBio SMRT sequencing. This analysis revealed 9 novel sequence motifs methylated by the plasmid-encoded restriction/modification enzymes of these Borrelia strains. Furthermore, while a previous analysis of B. burgdorferi B31 revealed an epigenetic impact of methylation on the global transcriptome, the current data contradict those findings; our analyses of wild-type B. burgdorferi B31 revealed no consistent differences in gene expression among isogenic derivatives lacking one or more restriction/modification enzyme(s).

Shoot transcriptomic response is more sensitive to a 14 day water deficit than root transcriptomic response in Vitis riparia

Project description:Drought has become an increasingly important constraint on grapevine sustainability due to global climate change. Vitis riparia, the only grapevine native to the upper Midwest region of the United States, is widely used in scion and rootstock breeding; however, it is not considered drought tolerant. In this study, RNA-Seq data were generated from grapevine root/shoot under WD and well-watered (control (C)) conditions to compare root signaling and shoot responses to water deficit.

Borrelia burgdorferi induces a type I interferon response during early stages of disseminated infection in mice

Project description:Background: Lyme borrelia genotypes differ in their capacity to cause disseminated disease. Gene array analysis was employed to profile the host transcriptome induced by Borrelia burgdorferi strains with different capacities for causing disseminated disease in the blood of C3H/HeJ mice during early infection. Results: Borrelia burgdorferi B515, a clinical isolate that causes disseminated infection in mice, differentially regulated 236 transcripts (P<0.05 by ANOVA, with fold change of at least 2). The 216 significantly induced transcripts included IFN-responsive genes and genes involved in immunity and inflammation. In contrast, B. burgdorferi B331, a clinical isolate that causes transient skin infection but does not disseminate in C3H/HeJ mice, stimulated changes in only a few genes (1 induced, 4 repressed). Transcriptional regulation of type I IFN and IFN-related genes was measured by quantitative RT-PCR in mouse skin biopsies collected from the site of infection 24 hours after inoculation with B. burgdorferi. The mean values for transcript of Ifnb, Cxcl10, Gbp1, Ifit1, Ifit3, Irf7, Mx1, and Stat2, were found to be significantly increased in B. burgdorferi strain B515-infected mice relative to the control group. In contrast, transcription of these genes was not significantly changed in response to B. burgdorferi strain B331 or B31-4, a mutant that is unable to disseminate. Conclusions: These results establish a positive association between the disseminating capacity of B. burgdorferi and early type I IFN induction in a murine model of Lyme disease.

Changes in gene expression of human monocyte derived dendritic cells exposed to live Borrelia burdgorferi or LTA

Project description:Dendritic cells bridge the innate and adaptive immune response by serving as sensors of infection and as the primary antigen presenting cells responsible for the initiation of the T cell response against invading pathogens. Initial interactions between B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Human Lyme disease, and dendritic cells remain largely unexplored. To address this, we cultured monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) with and without the Toll-Like Receptor 2 agonist LTA or live B. burgdorferi and examined changes in gene expression using RNAseq. We observed that B. burgdorferi exposed moDCs display a distinct and novel gene expression signature that differs from that induced by the Toll-Like Receptor 2 reference agonist. Collectively these studies indicate that the interaction of live B. burgdorferi with mo-DCs promotes a unique mature DC phenotype that likely impacts the nature of the adaptive T cell response generated in human Lyme disease.

Tick Adiponectin Receptor-Mediated Phospholipid Metabolism Contributes to Borrelia burgdorferi Colonization

Project description:Adiponectin-mediated pathways contribute to mammalian homeostasis; however, little is known about adiponectin and adiponectin receptor signaling in arthropods. In this study, we demonstrate that Ixodes scapularis ticks have an adiponectin receptor-like protein (ISARL) but lack adiponectin, suggesting activation by alternative pathways. ISARL expression is significantly upregulated in the tick gut after Borrelia burgdorferi infection, suggesting that ISARL signaling may be co-opted by the Lyme disease agent. Consistent with this, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of ISARL significantly reduced the B. burgdorferi burden in the tick. RNA-seq-based transcriptomics and RNAi assays demonstrate that ISARL-mediated phospholipid metabolism by phosphatidylserine synthase I is associated with B. burgdorferi survival. Furthermore, the tick complement C1q-like protein 3 interacts with ISARL, and B. burgdorferi facilitates this process. This study identifies a new tick metabolic pathway that is connected to the life cycle of the Lyme disease spirochete.

Acetylation in Borrelia burgdorferi

Project description:Borelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of the Lyme disease, cycles between a vector (tick) and the mammalian host. Our principal goal is to study how B. burgdorferi adapts its metabolism to colonize and survive in the tick. We established the first growth-phase related acetylome and demonstrated the role of acetylation on central metabolism regulation. We also demonstrated that acetyl phosphate is the primary acetyl donor in B. burgdorferi.
