APOE Protects Against Severe Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Restraining Production of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

ABSTRACT: Mice lacking apolipoprotein E (APOE, Apoe-/- mice) are highly susceptible to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) but the underlying immune dysregulation has been unclear. We found that Mtb infected Apoe-/- mice have significantly elevated levels of neutrophils in their lungs compared to controls and demonstrated that depleting neutrophils, depleting pDCs, blocking type1 interferon signaling, and blocking LTB4 receptor signaling all improved the outcome of Mtb-infected Apoe-/- mice. Neutrophils can undergo a specialized form of cell death termed NETosis in which activation of the enzyme PAD4 leads to extrusion of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs have been associated with severe tuberculosis in other mouse models and in humans but a role of NETs in the pathology has not been directly established. We demonstrate that blocking PAD4 activation leads to a decrease in NETs in the lungs and, strikingly, completely reverses the hypersusceptiblity of Apoe-/- mice.

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 deficiency improves elastase-induced formation of neutrophil extracellular traps and emphysema in mouse lung

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are associated with the extracellular release of nuclear chromatin decorated with cytoplasmic proteins. Excessive release of NETs has been reported in chronic lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the role of NETs in the pathogenesis of COPD remains unclear. Peptidylarginine deaminase 4 (PAD4) contributes to NET formation. Therefore, in an elastase (ELS)-induced emphysema mouse model, we examined the role of PAD4 using the Padi4 gene knockout (KO) mice. First, we confirmed that ELS induced NET formation in the lungs. Although PAD4 deficiency did not affect the cellular profile of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), PAD4 deficiency suppressed ELS-induced neutrophil migration and NET expression in the parenchyma of the lung. Additionally, PAD4 deficiency ameliorated emphysema and apoptosis in lung cells. Finally, we examined the effects of PAD4 on comprehensive gene expression signatures using RNA sequencing. Enrichment analysis of the transcriptomic data revealed that the expression of several genes associated with COPD pathogenesis was altered in the KO mice. Overall, the results suggest that PAD4 deficiency improves NET formation and emphysema in the lungs; this pathway can be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of COPD.

Bulk RNA-seq analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected Sp140-sufficient and -deficient mouse lungs with and without pDC depletion

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes 1.5 million deaths annually. Active tuberculosis correlates with a neutrophil-driven type I interferon (IFN) signature, but the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We found that interstitial macrophages (IMs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are dominant producers of type I IFN during Mtb infection in mice and non-human primates, and pDCs localize near human Mtb granulomas. Depletion of pDCs reduces Mtb burdens, implicating pDCs in tuberculosis pathogenesis. During IFN-driven disease, we observe abundant DNA-containing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) known to activate pDCs. Single cell RNA-seq indicates that type I IFNs act on IMs to impair their responses to IFNg, a cytokine critical for Mtb control. Cell type-specific disruption of the type I IFN receptor suggests IFNs act on IMs to inhibit Mtb control. We propose pDC-derived type I IFNs, driven by NETs, act on IMs to drive bacterial replication, further neutrophil recruitment, and active tuberculosis disease.

In-vivo Gene Signatures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis In C3HeB/FeJ Mice

Project description:In-vivo Gene Signatures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis In C3HeB/FeJ Mice In this experiment we have compared Mtb transcriptomics in-vivo, using samples derived from chronically infected C3HeB/FeJ mice, which produce human like caseating lesions, unlike other murine species, to Mtb cultured in-vitro. Similarly, the genome-wide expression of MtbdeldosR, MtbdeldosS and MtbdeldosT mutants is also compared between lungs from C3HeB/FeJ mice and in-vitro culturing.

Type I IFN signaling in the absence of IRGM1 promotes M. tuberculosis replication in immune cells by suppressing T cell responses

Project description:Polymorphisms in the IRGM gene are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis in humans. A murine ortholog of Irgm, Irgm1, is also essential for controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection in mice. Multiple processes have been associated with IRGM1 activity that could impact the host response to Mtb infection, including roles in autophagy-mediated pathogen clearance and expansion of activated T cells. However, what IRGM1-mediated pathway is necessary to control Mtb infecion in vivo and the mechanistic basis for this control remains unknown. We dissected the contribution of IRGM1 to immune control of Mtb pathogenesis in vivo and found that Irgm1 deletion leads to higher levels of IRGM3-dependent type I interferon signaling. The increased type I interferon signaling precludes T cell expansion during Mtb infection. The absence of Mtb-specific T cell expansion in Irgm1 -/- mice results in uncontrolled Mtb infection in neutrophils and alveolar macrophages, which directly contributes to susceptibility to infection. Together, our studies reveal that IRGM1 is required to promote T cell-mediated control of Mtb infection in neutrophils, which is essential for the survival of Mtb-infected mice. These studies also uncover new ways type I interferon signaling can impact TH1 immune responses.

NET formation is a default epigenetic program controlled by PAD4 in apoptotic neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) counteract bacterial and fungal pathogens but can also promote thrombosis, autoimmunity, and sterile inflammation. The presence of citrullinated histones, generated by the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), is synonymous with NETosis and is considered independent of apoptosis. Mitochondrial- and death receptormediated apoptosis promote GSDME-dependent calcium mobilization and membrane permeabilization leading to histone H3 citrullination (H3Cit), nuclear DNA extrusion, and cytoplast formation. H3Cit is concentrated at the promoter in bone marrow neutrophils, and redistributes in a coordinated process from promoter to intergenic and intronic regions during apoptosis. Loss of GSDME prevents nuclear and plasma membrane disruption of apoptotic neutrophils, but prolongs early apoptosis-induced cellular changes to the chromatin and cytoplasmic granules. Apoptotic signaling engages PAD4 in neutrophils, establishing a cellular state that is primed for NETosis, but that occurs only upon membrane disruption by GSDME, thereby redefining the end-of-life for neutrophils.

PAD4 deletion inhibited obstruction-induced kidney inflammation and fibrosis

Project description:To understand the roles and mechanisms of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis, we performed RNA sequencing of UUO kidneys from wild-type and PAD4-deficient mice. PAD4 deletion led to reduced expression of fibrosis- and injury-associated genes, as well as inflammatory cytokines in UUO kidneys. Enrichment analysis of the downregulated genes in PAD4-deficient mice revealed a drastic decrease in inflammation pathways, such as T cell-associated pathways and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.

Early innate immunity determines outcome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pulmonary infection in rabbits

Project description:In our rabbit model of pulmonary tuberculosis, infection with Mtb HN878, a hyper-virulent W-Beijing strain, results in progressive cavitary disease. However, infection of rabbit lungs with Mtb CDC1551, a hyper-immunogenic strain is effectively controlled overtime, establishing latent Mtb infection. Using these two Mtb strains, we tested the hypothesis that the initial host response in the lungs within hours of infection determines later outcome. The microarray experiments was performed to identify gene expression changes in the Mtb-HN878 or CDC1551- infected rabbit lungs at 3 hours post infection, compared to uninfected naïve rabbit lungs.
