Dectin-1 ligands produce distinct training phenotypes in human monocytes through differential activation of signaling networks

ABSTRACT: Cells of the innate immune system retain memory of prior exposures through a process known as innate immune training. b-glucan, a Dectin-1 ligand purified from the Candida albicans cell wall, has been one of the most widely utilized and well-characterized ligands for inducing innate immune memory. However, many Dectin-1 agonists exist, and it is not known whether all Dectin-1 ligands produce the same phenotype. Using a well-established in vitro model of trained immunity, we compared two commercially available Dectin-1 agonists with the gold standard b-glucan represented in the literature. We found that depleted zymosan, a b-glucan purified from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall through alkali treatment, produced near identical training effects as C. albicans b-glucan. However, untreated zymosan produced a distinct training effect from b-glucans at both the transcript and cytokine level. Training with zymosan diminished, rather than potentiated, induction of key cytokines such as TNF, IL-12, and IL-6. Zymosan activated NFkB and AP-1 transcription factors more strongly than b-glucans. The addition of the toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand Pam3CSK4 was sufficient to convert the training effect of b-glucans to a phenotype resembling training with zymosan. We conclude that differential activation of TLR signaling pathways determines the phenotype of innate immune training induced by Dectin-1. These findings bring clarity to the specific question of which Dectin-1 agonists produce prototypical training effects and provides broader insight into how signaling networks regulate innate immune training at large.

Transcription profiling of mouse MyD88-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages treated with Zymosan

Project description:Innate immune pattern recognition receptors play critical roles in pathogen detection and initiation of antimicrobial responses. We and others have previously demonstrated the importance of the beta-glucan receptor Dectin-1 in the recognition of pathogenic fungi by macrophages and dendritic cells, and have elucidated some of the mechanisms by which Dectin-1 signals to coordinate the antifungal response. While Dectin-1 signals alone are sufficient to trigger phagocytosis and Src-Syk-mediated induction of antimicrobial reactive oxygen species, collaboration with Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 signaling enhances NF-kB activation and regulates cytokine production. In this study we demonstrate that Dectin-1 signaling can also directly modulate gene expression via activation of nuclear transcription of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription factors. Dectin-1 ligation by zymosan particles or live Candida albicans yeast triggers NFAT activation in macrophages and dendritic cells. Dectin-1-triggered NFAT activation plays a role in the induction of Egr2 and Egr3 transcription factors, and cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2). Furthermore, we show that NFAT activation regulates IL-2, IL-10 and IL-12 p70 production by zymosan-stimulated dendritic cells. These data establish NFAT activation in myeloid cells as a novel mechanism of regulation of the innate antimicrobial response. Experiment Overall Design: Bone marrow-derived macrophages deficient in MyD88 were stimulated with zymosan, and total RNA was extracted 120 minutes after stimulation for comparison to macrophages grown under the same conditions, but not stimulated.

Candida albicans induces monocyte training via epigenetic programming through a dectin 1-dependent pathway

Project description:Non-specific protective effects against reinfection have been described following infection with Candida albicans. Here we show that mice defective in functional T and B lymphocytes were protected against reinfection with C. albicans in a monocyte-dependent manner. C. albicans and beta glucans induced functional programming of monocytes, leading to enhanced cytokine production in vivo and in vitro. The training required the beta glucan receptor dectin 1 and the non-canonical Raf 1 pathway. Monocyte training by beta-glucans was mediated by epigenetic mechanisms through genome-wide changes in histone trimethylation at H3K4. Pathway analysis showed specific induction of epigenetic changes in genes of innate immunity. The functional programming of monocytes, reminiscent of similar properties of NK cells, has been termed M-bM-^@M-^\trained immunityM-bM-^@M-^] and may be employed for the design of improved vaccination strategies. Chromatin-IP at day7 followed by highthroughput sequencing to look at the differences in H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 binding in Monocytes either cultured in RPMI only versus those trained for 24hrs with beta glucan. Additionally expression analysis was performed by doing strandspecific RNAseq also for both unstimulated and beta glucan trained monocytes for correlating the histone modification changes with the expression changes. Biological replicates were generated from independent samples for H3K4me3 and RNAseq. Additional H3K4me3 ChIP-seq assays were performed for day0 untreated, 24hrs control and beta glucan trained monocytes. H3K4me3 ChIP-seq was also performed for Mouse macrophages both saline(control) and low dose Candida treated.

Yeast beta-glucan diets alter bone-marrow derived macrophage function

Project description:Fungal beta-glucans are major drivers of trained immunity which increases long-term protection against secondary infections. Heterogeneity in beta-glucan source, structure and solubility alters interaction with the phagocytic receptor Dectin-1 and could impact strategies to improve trained immunity in humans. Using a panel of diverse beta-glucans we describe the ability of a specific yeast-derived whole-glucan particle (WGP) to reprogramme metabolism and thereby drive trained immunity in human monocyte-derived macrophages in-vitro and mice bone-marrow in-vivo. Presentation of pure, non-soluble, non-aggregated WGPs led to the formation of the Dectin-1 phagocytic synapse with subsequent lysosomal mTOR activation, metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic rewiring. Intraperitoneal or oral administration of WGP drove bone-marrow myelopoiesis and improved mature macrophage responses, pointing to therapeutic and food-based strategies to drive immune training. Thus, the investment of a cell in a trained response relies on specific recognition of beta-glucans presented on intact microbial particles through stimulation of the Dectin-1 phagocytic response.

Dectin-1 intracellular domain determines species-specific ligand spectrum by modulating receptor sensitivity [human]

Project description:C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a large family of immunoreceptors that recognizes polysaccharides exposed on pathogens and triggers innate immune responses. However, the ligand spectrums of the whole members have not been fully understood. In this study, we found that seaweed-derived fucan activates cells expressing human Dectin-1 but not mouse Dectin-1. In fucan, low-valency β-glucan appeared to represent this activity, as the ligand activity was eliminated by the treatment of westase, a β-glucanase. Another low-valency β-glucan, laminarin, also acts as an agonist on human Dectin-1 but not for mouse Dectin-1, whereas high-valency β-glucan curdlan activated both human and mouse Dectin-1. Reciprocal mutagenesis analysis revealed that the ligand-binding domain of human Dectin-1 did not determine its unique sensitivity to low-valency β-glucan. Rather, its intracellular domain contributes to render human Dectin-1 reactive to low-valency β-glucan. Within the hDectin-1 intracellular domain, only two amino acids, Glu2 and Pro5, were sufficient to confer sensitivity on mouse Dectin-1. Conversely, the introduction of mouse-type amino acids, Lys2 and Ser5, to human Dectin-1 reduced the reactivity. These results suggest that the intracellular domain, but not the ligand binding domain, of Dectin-1 modulate their functions which determine the ligand spectrum.

Pathogen size alters C-type lectin receptor signaling in dendritic cells to influence CD4 Th9 cell differentiation

Project description:Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucan in fungal cell walls, and activation of Dectin-1 in dendritic cells (DCs) influences immune responses against fungi. Although many studies have shown that Dectin-1 activated DCs induce different subsets of T helper cells according to different cytokine milieus, the precise mechanisms underlying such differences remain unknown. By harnessing polymorphic Candida albicans and polystyrene beads of different sizes, we found that target size influences production of cytokine that control differentiation of T helper cell subsets. Hyphal C. albicans and large beads activate DCs but cannot be phagocytosed due to their size, which prolongs the duration of Dectin-1 signaling. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of Il33 was significantly increased by larger targets, and increased IL-33 expression promoted TH9 responses. Expression of IL-33 was regulated by Dectin-1-SYK-PLCγ-CARD9-ERK pathway. Altogether, our study demonstrates that size of fungi can be a determining factor in which DCs induce context-appropriate adaptive immune responses.

The protective effect of inflammatory monocytes during systemic C. albicans infection is dependent on collaboration between C-type lectin-like receptors

Project description:Invasive candidiasis, mainly caused by Candida albicans, is a serious healthcare problem with high mortality rates, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Innate immune cells express pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) including C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) that bind C. albicans to initiate an immune response. Multiple CLRs including Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle have been proposed individually to contribute to the immune response to C. albicans. However how these receptors collaborate to clear a fungal infection is unknown. Herein, we used novel multi-CLR knockout (KO) mice to decipher the individual, collaborative and collective roles of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle during systemic C. albicans infection. These studies revealed an unappreciated and profound role for CLR co-operation in anti-fungal immunity. The protective effect of multiple CLRs was markedly greater than any single receptor, and was mediated through inflammatory monocytes via recognition and phagocytosis of C. albicans, and production of C. albicans-induced cytokines and chemokines. These CLRs were dispensable for mediating similar responses from neutrophils, likely due to lower expression of these CLRs on neutrophils compared to inflammatory monocytes. Concurrent deletion of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, or all three CLRs, resulted in dramatically increased susceptibility to systemic C. albicans infection compared to mice lacking a single CLR. Multi-CLR KO mice were unable to control fungal growth due to an inadequate early inflammatory monocyte-mediated response. In response to excessive fungal growth, the multi-CLR KO mice mounted a hyper-inflammatory response, likely leading to multiple organ failure. Thus, these data reveal a critical role for CLR co-operation in the effective control of C. albicans and maintenance of organ function during infection.
