Early Host Immune Responses in Human Gallbladder to Salmonella Typhi Strains from Patients with Acute and Chronic Infections

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), a human-restricted pathogen, enters the host through the gut to cause typhoid fever. Recent calculations of the typhoid fever burden estimated that more than 20 million new typhoid fever cases occur in low and middle-income countries, resulting in 129,000-223,000 deaths yearly. Interestingly, upon the resolution of acute disease, 1%-5% of patients become asymptomatic chronic carriers of S. Typhi. Chronically infected hosts are not only critical reservoirs of infection that transmit the disease to naive individuals but are also predisposed to developing gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms involved in the early interactions between gallbladder epithelial cells and S. Typhi remain largely unknown. Based on our previous studies showing that very closely related S. Typhi strains elicit distinct innate immune responses, we hypothesized that host molecular pathways activated by S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients will differ. To test this hypothesis, we used a novel human organoid-derived polarized gallbladder monolayer (HODGM) model, and 13 S. Typhi strains derived from acutely (n=6) and chronically (n=7) infected patients. We found that S. Typhi strains derived from acutely and chronically infected patients differentially regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and S6 transcription factors. This differential regulation impacts, at least in part, the cytokine signaling pathway involved in the production of TNF- and IL-6 and is likely to play a critical role in inducing chronic S. Typhi infection in the gallbladder.

Transcriptome analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium growth in physiological murine bile

Project description:Infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in humans causes the systemic, life-threatening disease typhoid fever. In the laboratory, typhoid fever can be modeled through the inoculation of susceptible mice with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The ensuing disease is characterized by systemic dissemination and colonization of many organs, including the liver, spleen and gallbladder. Using this murine model, we previously characterized the interactions between Salmonella Typhimurium and host cells in the gallbladder and showed that this pathogen can successfully invade gallbladder epithelial cells and proliferate. Additionally, we showed that Salmonella Typhimurium can use bile phospholipids to grow at high rates. These abilities are likely important for quick colonization of the gallbladder during typhoid fever and further pathogen dissemination through fecal shedding. To further characterize the interactions between Salmonella and the gallbladder environment we compared the transcriptome of Salmonella cultures grown in LB or physiological murine bile. Our data showed that many genes involved in bacterial central metabolism are affected by bile, with the citric acid cycle being repressed and alternative respiratory systems being activated. Additionally, our study revealed a new aspect of Salmonella interactions with bile through the identification of phoP as a bile-responsive gene. Repression of phoP expression does not involve PhoPQ sensing of a bile component. Due to its critical role in Salmonella virulence, further studies in this area will likely reveal aspects of the interaction between Salmonella and bile that are relevant to disease.

Molecular correlates of vaccine-induced protection against typhoid fever

Project description:Typhoid fever is caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data were generated from blood samples obtained from adult human volunteers enrolled in a vaccine trial involving two vaccines against typhoid fever, a plain polysaccharide vaccine, ViPS and a glycoconjugate vaccine, ViTCV. The participants were then challenged with S. Typhi in a controlled human infection model (CHIM).

Diagnostic metabolite biomarkers of chronic typhoid carriage

Project description:Background: Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A are the agents of enteric (typhoid) fever; both can establish chronic carriage in the gallbladder. Chronic Salmonella carriers are typically asymptomatic, intermittently shedding bacteria in the feces, and contributing to disease transmission. Detecting chronic carriers is of public health relevance in areas where enteric fever is endemic, but there are no routinely used methods for prospectively identifying those carrying Salmonella in their gallbladder. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we aimed to identify biomarkers of Salmonella carriage using metabolite profiling. We performed metabolite profiling on plasma from Nepali patients undergoing cholecystectomy with confirmed S. Typhi or S. Paratyphi A gallbladder carriage (and non-carriage controls) using two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS) and supervised pattern recognition modeling. We were able to significantly discriminate Salmonella carriage samples from non-carriage control samples. We were also able to detect differential signatures between S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A carriers. We additionally compared carriage metabolite profiles with profiles generated during acute infection; these data revealed substantial heterogeneity between metabolites associated with acute enteric fever and chronic carriage. Lastly, we found that Salmonella carriers could be significantly distinguished from non-carriage controls using only five metabolites, indicating the potential of these metabolites as diagnostic markers for detecting chronic Salmonella carriers. Conclusions/Significance: Our novel approach has highlighted the potential of using metabolomics to search for diagnostic markers of chronic Salmonella carriage. We suggest further epidemiological investigations of these potential biomarkers in alternative endemic enteric fever settings.

Establishment of chronic typhoid infection in a mouse carriage model involves a Type 2 immune shift and T and B cell recruitment to the gallbladder

Project description:Typhoid fever, caused primarily by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), is a life-threatening systemic disease responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. 3-5% of individuals infected with S. Typhi become chronic carriers due to bacterial persistence in the gallbladder. We have demonstrated that Salmonella forms biofilms on gallstones to establish gallbladder carriage. However, an in-depth molecular understanding of chronic carriage in the gallbladder, from the perspective of both the pathogen and host, is poorly defined. To examine the dynamics of the gallbladder in response to Salmonella infection, we performed transcriptional profiling in the mouse gallbladder at early (7 day) and chronic (21 day) time points. RNA-Seq revealed a shift from a Th1 pro-inflammatory response at 7 days post infection (DPI) towards an anti-inflammatory Th2 response by 21 DPI, characterized by increased levels of immunoglobulins and the Th2 master transcriptional regulator, GATA3. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis predicted the upstream regulation of characteristic Th2 markers including IL-4 and Stat6. Immunohistochemistry and FACS analysis confirmed a significant increase in lymphocytes, including T and B cells, at 21 DPI in mice with gallstones. Interestingly, Salmonella-specific CD4 T-cells were ten-fold higher in the gallbladder of mice with gallstones at 21 DPI. We speculate that the biofilm state allows Salmonella to resist the initial onslaught of the Th1 inflammatory response, while yet undefined events influence a switch in the host immunity towards a more permissive Type 2 response, enabling the establishment of chronic infection.

Human intestinal biopsy gene expression after infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi

Project description:This study describes how Salmonella Typhi, the pathogen responsible for typhoid fever, uses similar strategies to escape immune defense responses and survive within its human host. To elucidate the early mechanisms of typhoid fever, we performed studies using healthy human intestinal tissue samples to analyze gene expression changes in human intestinal specimens and bacterial cells both separately and after colonization. Our results showed mechanistic strategies that S. Typhi uses to rearrange the cellular machinery of the host cytoskeleton to successfully invade the intestinal epithelium, promote polarized cytokine release and evade immune system activation by downregulating genes involved in antigen sampling and presentation during infection.

Whole blood transcriptome in humans experimentally infected with Salmonella Typhi

Project description:In this study participants were experimentally challenged with an infective dose of S. Typhi (1-5x10^3-4 cfu) and followed over at least 14 days. Every study participant was treated with antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, 500 mg twice daily, 14 days) on day 14 after challenge unless diagnosed with typhoid fever at which time treatment commenced immediately (ciprofloxacin, 500 mg twice daily, 14 days). For details about the study design please refer to Waddington et al. CID 2014 May;58(9):1230-40. Criteria for typhoid diagnosis were either microbiological (≥1 positive blood culture collected after day 5) and/or clinical (fever ≥38°C sustained for ≥12hrs). 3mL of venous blood was obtained at pre-challenge baselines, 24hrs prior typhoid diagnosis, day of diagnosis, 24hrs post-diagnosis and day 14 after challenge in those diagnosed with acute typhoid fever. In those who did not develop typhoid despite oral challenge samples were obtained at pre-challenge, day 7 and day 14 after challenge. The samples are labelled with one of the following accronyms: V1: Day 0, i.e. pre-challenge control. D7: day 7 after challenge. TD-24: 24hrs prior to typhoid diagnosis. TD: day of typhoid diagnosis. TD+24: 24hrs after typhoid diagnosis. D14: day 14 after challenge.

Human variation impacting MCOLN2 restricts Salmonella Typhi replication by magnesium deprivation

Project description:Human genetic diversity can reveal critical factors in host-pathogen interactions. This is especially useful for human-restricted pathogens like Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the cause of Typhoid fever. One key dynamic during infection is competition for nutrients: host cells attempt to restrict intracellular replication by depriving bacteria of key nutrients or delivering toxic metabolites in a process called nutritional immunity. Here, a cellular genome-wide association study of intracellular replication by S. Typhi in nearly a thousand cell lines from around the world—and extensive follow-up using intracellular S. Typhi transcriptomics and manipulation of magnesium concentrations—demonstrates that the divalent cation channel mucolipin-2 (MCOLN2) restricts S. Typhi intracellular replication through magnesium deprivation. Our results reveal natural diversity in Mg2+ limitation as a key component of nutritional immunity against S. Typhi.

Transcriptome profiles of mice intestine and liver upon infection with Salmonella typhimurium (MC71-TT and MC71-DcdtB)

Project description:Bacterial genotoxins, produced by several Gram-negative bacteria, induce DNA damage in the target cells. While the responses induced in the host cells have been extensively studied in vitro, the role of the genotoxins as effectors during the course of acute and chronic infections remains poorly characterized.To address this issue, we assessed the effects of the Salmonella enterica genotoxin, known as typhoid toxin, in in vivo models of murine chronic infections. Immunocompetent mice were chronically infected with isogenic S. enterica, serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) strains, encoding either a functional (MC71-TT) or an inactive (MC71-DcdtB) typhoid toxin. Keywords: salmonella typhimurium, bacterial genotoxins, typhoid toxin, chronic infection, mice model Transcriptomic analysis was performed on intestine tissues (colon, jejunum and ileum) and liver collected from 129S6/SvEvTac mice, either uninfected or infected with S. typhimurium MC71 strains (strain MC71-TT, expressing a functional typhoid toxin, and strain MC71-dcdtB, expressing an inactive typhoid toxin) for 60 days

Typhoidal Salmonella Dendritic Cell Survival Mechanism Revealed by Dual RNA sequencing

Project description:Salmonella enterica represent a major disease burden worldwide. While non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars trigger self-limiting diarrhoea, leading to occasional secondary bacteraemia, S. enterica serovar Typhi is responsible for potentially life-threatening Typhoid fever. Dendritic cells (DCs) are key professional antigen presenting cells of the human immune system. The ability of pathogenic bacteria to subvert DC functions and prevent T cell recognition contributes to their survival and dissemination within the host. Here, we adapted Dual RNA-sequencing to define how different Salmonella pathovariants remodel their gene expression in tandem with that of infected DCs. We find DCs harness iron handling pathways to defend against invading Salmonellas, which, the human pathogen S. Typhi is able to circumvent. We show that S. Typhi mounts a robust response to host oxidative stress to avoid host iron-mediated defence mechanisms. In parallel, we provide evidence that invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella employs several strategies to impair DC functions and undertake alternative nutrient scavenging strategies to survive in the hostile intracellular environment.
