Mitochondrial dysfunction enhances influenza pathogenesis by upregulating sialic acid biosynthesis

ABSTRACT: Viral infections are well-established triggers of disease progression in pediatric mitochondrial disease (MtD). Caregivers frequently report that these infections are not only more severe but also prolonged, a concern reflected in high adherence to infection prevention practices within the MtD community. Despite these observations, significant gaps remain in our understanding of host-pathogen interactions during viral infections in MtD. We hypothesized that mitochondrial dysfunction in MtD exacerbates viral pathogenesis and morbidity through metabolic allostatic alterations in infected cells. Using the Ndufs4 knock out (KO) mouse model of MtD, we observed severe clinical outcomes following influenza A virus infection, including pronounced weight loss, elevated viral load, cytokine storm, and reduced post-infection survival. Metabolic profiling in Ndufs4 KO lung epithelial cells (LET1), indicated a shift towards glycolysis and suggested a diversion of glucose carbons into anabolic pathways. Based on this finding, we determined that the increased influenza-associated susceptibility and morbidity in Ndufs4 KO was related to elevated levels of sialic acid (SIA), a key influenza receptor, derived from glycolysis. Pharmacological manipulation of glycolysis reduced SIA levels, viral load, and morbidity in Ndufs4 KO mice. Our findings demonstrate that metabolic dysregulation in MtD exacerbates viral attachment and pathogenesis, contributing to worsened clinical outcomes.

Genomic Circuitry Underlying Immunological Response to Pediatric Acute Respiratory Infection

Project description:Acute respiratory tract viral infections (ARTI) cause significant morbidity and mortality. While CD8 T cells are fundamental to the host response, the transcriptional alterations underlying anti-viral mechanisms within these cells, and the links to clinical characteristics, remain unclear. The transcriptional circuitry in CD8 T cells from acutely ill pediatric patients with influenza-like illness was distinct for different viral pathogens. We used microarray analysis to profile sorted CD8 T cells from PBMCs of various influenza-like illness patients.

Influenza virus infection leads to global cardiac proteome remodeling during convalescence

Project description:Influenza virus infection leads to global cardiac proteome remodeling during convalescence MTD project_description "Influenza virus infections lead to more than 500,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. every year. Patients with cardiovascular diseases have been shown to be at high risk of influenza mediated cardiac complications. Importantly, recent reports have provided clinical data supporting a direct link between laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection and adverse cardiac events. However, the molecular mechanisms of how influenza virus infection induces detrimental cardiac changes, even after resolution of the pulmonary infection, is completely unknown.

Molecular landscape of respiratory infection: A large-scale, multi-centre blood transcriptome dataset

Project description:Respiratory infections pose significant challenges to global health, impacting millions of individuals annually. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of these infections is crucial for developing effective interventions. RNA sequencing provides insights into a patient’s global transcriptome changes, facilitating the identification of host gene signatures in response to infection and potential therapeutic targets. Here we present an extensive whole blood transcriptome dataset from a demographically diverse cohort of 502 patients with infections including COVID-19, seasonal coronavirus, influenza A or influenza B, sepsis, septic shock, and co-infections (Viral/Viral, Bacterial/Viral, Bacterial/Viral/Fungal, Viral/Fungal, Viral/ Viral/Fungal).

Transcriptomic analysis of WT and Polg R292C/R292C lungs six hours after intratrachael instillation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Mitochondrial diseases (MtD) represent a significant public health challenge due to their heterogenous clinical presentation, often severe and progressive symptoms, and lack of effective therapies. Environmental exposures, such bacterial and viral infection, can further compromise mitochondrial function and exacerbate the progression of MtD. Infections in MtD patients more frequently progress to sepsis, pneumonia, and other detrimental inflammatory endpoints. However, the underlying immune alterations that enhance immunopathology in MtD remain unclear, constituting a key gap in knowledge that complicates treatment and increases mortality in this vulnerable population. This dataset reports transcriptomic changes in lungs from wild-type mice and a mouse model of polymerase gamma (Polg)-related MtD (Polg R292C/R292C) six hours post intratrachael instillation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1. These data reveal a hyperinflammatory innate immune status in Polg R292C lungs characterized by elevated expression of genes involved in interferon and inflammatory cell death pathways. This work sheds new light on innate immune dysregulation in a model of mitochondrial dysfunction and reveals potential targets for limiting infection- and inflammation-related complications in Polg-related MtD.

Mouse-Monkey Time-series

Project description:Viral and bacterial infections of the lower respiratory tract are major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Alveolar macrophages line the alveolar spaces and are the first cells of the immune system to respond to invading pathogens. In the study we examined the response of alveolar macrophages from mice and cynomolgus macaques to two viral (PR8 and Fuj/02 influenza A) and two bacterial (Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Francisella tularensis Schu S4) pathogens. Cells were isolated by bronchoalveolar lavage, exposed to pathogen. Cells and supernatants were collected at defined time points to determine changes in gene expression profile and cytokine production respectively. Our analyses identified a core set of genes that were differentially expressed in both species and across all pathogens. The genes upregulated by all infections in both mouse and monkey fell into the interferon response pathway. Interestingly the AM response to Mtb differed markedly between the two species, despite the fact that robust responses were induced in both species. We observed divergent responses to the two influenza viruses in both species such that murine AM responded to Fuj/02 but not PR8 whereas AM from macaques responded to PR8 and not Fuj/02. A similar phenomenon was observed with AM infected with Ft.S4 in that murine AM mounted a transient response, which was rapidly aborted, whereas macaque AM responded vigorously to this pathogen. These studies provide a comprehensive analysis of the response of a key cell type in the pulmonary innate immune system and identify differences and similarities between responses to lethal and self contained infections.

BCL6 modulates tissue neutrophil survival and exacerbates pulmonary inflammation following influenza infection

Project description:Epidemics of influenza virus are of great challenges to the public concern. The lung inflammation and injury caused by excessive inflammatory cell infiltration into the lungs and overproduction of inflammatory mediators are major consequences during influenza virus infection. Neutrophils are vital for anti-microbial defense. However, the roles of neutrophils during viral infections are less clear. Furthermore, the molecular regulation of neutrophil fate and function at the viral infected sites is largely elusive. We found that BCL6 deficiency in neutrophils, but not in monocytes nor lung macrophages, attenuated host inflammation and morbidity following influenza infection. Mechanistically, BCL6 bound to the neutrophil gene loci involved in cellular apoptosis specifically at the site of infection. As such, BCL6 disruption resulted in increased expression of apoptotic genes in neutrophils in the respiratory tract, but not in the circulation nor bone marrow. Consequently, BCL6 deficiency promoted tissue neutrophil apoptosis. Our results have revealed a previously unappreciated role of BCL6 in modulating neutrophil apoptosis at the site of infection for the regulation of host disease development following viral infection.
