Single-cell profiling of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in tuberculous meningitis

ABSTRACT: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe form of tuberculosis, with a fatality rate of 20-50% in treated individuals. Although corticosteroid therapy can increase survival in HIV-negative people with TBM, better antimicrobial and host-directed therapies are required to improve outcome. There is, therefore, a need to better understand local immunopathologic pathways. Despite its power in identifying disease-specific cellular profiles, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been underutilized in cerebral samples in brain infection. We employed scRNA-seq to analyze fresh pretreatment cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from four TBM patients, along with paired peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). While 29 cell subtypes were present in both tissues, their relative abundance varied significantly. In particular, CSF was enriched with highly inflammatory microglia-like macrophages, GZMK+-expressing CD8+ T cells, and CD56bright NK cells. The latter two subsets exhibited features associated with dysfunctional cytotoxicity. Across multiple cell types, inflammatory signaling pathways were increased and oxidative phosphorylation was decreased in CSF compared to PBMCs. This study highlights the value of scRNA-seq for exploring CSF immunopathogenesis in TBM patients and offers a resource for future studies investigating the pathophysiology of TBM and other brain infections, including potentially targetable cell populations linked with immune-mediated pathology.

Genome-wide miRNA analysis reveals different miRNAs between Tuberculous and viral Meningitis

Project description:In order to identify the potential biomarkers for discriminating tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and viral meningitis (VM) and to reveal the different pathophysiological processes between TBM and VM, a genome-wide miRNA screenings of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from TBM, VM, and healthy controls (HCs) using microarray assay was performed (12 samples). Twenty-eight differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between TBM and VM, and 11 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between TBM and HCs. The 6 overlapping miRNAs detected in both TBM vs. VM and TBM vs. HCs were verified by qPCR analysis and showed a 100% consistent result with that in microarray test.

Single cell analysis reveals transcriptional changes underlying neurological complications in tuberculous meningitis

Project description:Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe and deadly manifestation of tuberculosis. Neurological complications, e.g., hydrocephalus are observed in up to 50% of patients affected. The study of TBM pathogenesis is hampered, at least partially, by a lack of experimental models that recapitulate all clinical features of the human disease. With single-cell transcriptome of blood in tuberculosis revealed, the single cell transcriptome atlas in TBM brain remains yet to be explored. Here, a TBM model was built and then whole brain was dissected for single cell sequencing. Transcriptional changes were observed in all cell types, suggesting a complex biology in TBM pathogenesis. As a result, pervasive immune response was activated by transcription factors Stat1 and IRF1 in macrophages and microglia. For neurons, decreased oxidative phosphorylation activity in neurons links TBM with neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, Ependymal cells show most remarkable transcriptional changes, and decreased Frmd4a may contribute to hydrocephalus and neurodegenerative disorders. We first revealed a comprehensive transcriptome map in TBM mouse model with ScRNA-Seq, and link the cell types, transcriptional genes with regulons and functional processes with neurological complications. These identified cellular and molecular changes offer an unprecedented clue for inspiring the clinical diagnosis and therapeutics of TBM.

Blood transcriptional signature of HIV-associated tuberculous meningitis

Project description:Patients with HIV-associated TB meningitis (TBM) are known to experience systemic hyperinflammation, clinically known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), following the commencement of antiretroviral therapy (ART). No prognostic markers or biomarkers have been identified to date and little is known about the mechanism mediating the hyperinflammation. We recruited a prospective cohort of 33 patients with HIV-associated TBM, 16 of whom developed TBM-IRIS, and performed transcriptomic profiling. Transcriptomic signatures that distinguish patients who would eventually develop IRIS were identified and indicated neutrophil and inflammasome activation as being the predominant mediator of TBM-IRIS pathogenesis.

Gene Expression Profiling of Tuberculous Meningitis

Project description:Tuberculous meningitis is one of the fatal forms of extra pulmonary disease associated with high mortality and severe neurological defects in affected individuals. We have carried out transcriptome level analysis using whole human genome microarrays to identify differential expression of genes between tuberculous meningitis and normals. In our gene expression analysis, we found 2,434 genes that were differentially erexpressed with 2 or more than 2 fold changes between tuberculous meningitis compared to normal cases. Most of the genes encoded many of the proteins, which involves metabolism, energy pathways, cell growth and/or maintenance, transport and cell communication and signal transduction. We have performed immunohistochemistry for the validation of some of the novel candidates identified in our microarray studies.!Series_overall_design = Present study carried out mRNA expression profiling of five samples from patients diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis and four head injury cases were used as controls.
