The genomic landscape of monocytes and CD4+ T cells after BCG vaccination in Malawian infants

ABSTRACT: The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine administration studies in human adults determined that BCG-mediated mechanisms of protection include epigenetic reprogramming of innate immune cells and heterologous T cell immunity. The current study aimed to confirm that BCG immunization similarly impacts the functionally distinct infant immune system. Towards this goal, we applied RNA sequencing to assess molecular changes in circulating monocytes and CD4+ T cells of Malawian infants prior to and 2 to 13 weeks after BCG immunization. We identified 168 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 14 upregulated and 152 downregulated, in monocytes after BCG vaccination. The upregulated monocyte DEGs were enriched in genes associated with metabolic pathways, in particular glycolysis and lipid metabolism. In CD4 T cells, 322 DEGs (95 upregulated and 226 downregulated) were identified after BCG vaccination, and these DEGs were representative of activation, proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival. These findings are consistent with data reported in BCG vaccinated adults and contribute to the understanding of molecular changes in monocytes and CD4 T cells that may explain the improved capacity of the infant immune system to respond to pathogens after BCG vaccination.

Stronger induction of trained immunity by mucosal BCG or MTBVAC vaccination

Project description:Vaccination against tuberculosis by intradermal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) injection saves many lives, supposedly by inducing adaptive immune memory in lymphocytes. Epidemiologically, BCG vaccination is also associated with reduced childhood mortality unrelated to TB, which is attributed to innate immune memory, also termed trained immunity. We recently demonstrated improved protection against tuberculosis infection in highly susceptible rhesus macaques by mucosal BCG vaccination, correlating with a unique local but no peripheral immune profile. Here, we investigated local and peripheral innate immune function after intradermal versus mucosal vaccination with M. bovis BCG or the live attenuated, M. tuberculosis-derived candidate, MTBVAC. The results demonstrate an augmented frequency of trained immunity in monocytes after respiratory mucosal administration of live attenuated mycobacterial vaccines compared to intradermal immunization, with MTBVAC being equally potent as BCG. These results provide further support to strategies for improving TB vaccination and, more broadly, modulating innate immunity via mucosal surfaces.

CD4+CCR6+ T cells dominate the BCG-induced transcriptional signature

Project description:The century-old Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Despite this, there is still a lot to learn about the immune response induced by BCG, both in terms of phenotype and specificity. Here, we investigated immune responses in adult individuals pre and 8 months post BCG vaccination. We specifically determined changes in gene expression, cell subset composition, DNA methylome, and the TCR repertoire induced in PBMCs and CD4 memory T cells associated with antigen stimulation by either BCG or a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-derived peptide pool. Following BCG vaccination, we observed increased frequencies of CCR6+ CD4 T cells, which includes both Th1* and Th17 subsets, and mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAITs). A large number of immune response genes and pathways were upregulated post BCG vaccination with similar patterns observed in both PBMCs and memory CD4 T cells, thus suggesting a substantial role for CD4 T cells in the cellular response to BCG. These upregulated genes and associated pathways were also reflected in the DNA methylome. We described both qualitative and quantitative changes in the BCG-specific TCR repertoire post vaccination, and importantly found evidence for similar TCR repertoires across different subjects. The immune signatures defined herein can be used to track and further characterize immune responses induced by BCG, and can serve as reference for benchmarking novel vaccination strategies.

Epigenomes and transcriptomes of human monocytes before and after in vivo exposure to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine

Project description:Innate immune memory is the phenomenon whereby innate immune cells such as monocytes or macrophages undergo functional reprogramming after exposure to microbial components. In this study, we apply epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis to a clinical trial of BCG vaccination in healthy adults.

BCG_CNRL_wk0vs3_infantMM

Project description:To assess changes in immune gene expression following BCG vaccination in infants, 6 infant rhesus macaques were vaccinated with BCG at 2 weeks of age. Whole blood was collected at the time of BCG vaccination, and at 3 weeks post-BCG, in EDTA coated tubes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected by ficoll and RNA was extracted using Macherey Nagel nucleospin columns. RNA from both timepoints was then used for gene expression analysis using the Nanostring nCounter platform.

Prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease in nonhuman primates following intravenous BCG vaccination

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the leading cause of death from infection worldwide. Intradermal (ID) vaccination with BCG has variable efficacy against pulmonary tuberculosis, the major cause of mortality and disease transmission. Here we show that the route and dose of BCG vaccination alters circulating and lung resident T cells and subsequent protection against Mtb challenge in nonhuman primates (NHP). NHP immunized with BCG by the intravenous (IV) route induced substantially higher antigen-specific CD4 (Th1 or Th17) and CD8 responses in blood, spleen, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and lung lymph nodes compared to the same BCG dose administered by ID or aerosol (AE) routes. Moreover, IV immunization was the only route that induced a high frequency of antigen-specific tissue resident T cells in lung parenchyma. Six months after BCG vaccination, NHP were challenged with virulent Mtb. Strikingly, 9 of 10 NHP that received BCG IV were highly protected, with 6 NHP showing no detectable infection as determined by PET CT imaging, mycobacterial growth, pathology, granuloma formation, or de novo immune responses to Mtb-specific antigens. The finding that BCG IV prevents or significantly limits Mtb infection in NHP has important implications for vaccine development and provides a model for determining immune correlates and mechanisms of protection against TB.
