Rejuvenating macrophages by FcγR-targeted tuftsin clusters for sepsis-associated secondary infection

ABSTRACT: Sepsis-associated secondary infection often leads to high mortality rate. Dysfunctional macrophages are the primary contributors to inadequate antimicrobial defense in patients with sepsis-associated immunosuppression, elevating the risk of opportunistic infections. Here, a bacteria-targeted transformable macrophage nanorejuvenator, designated as BATMAN, is developed to effectively tackle sepsis-associated secondary infection by coordinating the arrest of invasive bacteria and rejuvenation of dysfunctional macrophages based on the in situ responsive transformation. The results affirm the BATMAN’s effective binding and transformation on bacterial surface. The enzymatic removal of Chems by bacterial lipase disrupts the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of BATMAN, triggering the inside-out rearrangement that exposes the concealed tuftsin and facilitates its assembly into polyvalent peptide clusters on trapped bacteria driven by the assembly of FFVLK. This transformation not only reduces the invasiveness of bacteria, but enhances the interaction between tuftsin clusters and macrophage Fc gamma receptor, promoting bacterial phagocytosis and driving macrophage repolarization. As a result, BATMAN rejuvenates the compromised immune response to eliminate the polymicrobial- and even multidrug-resistant pathogen-induced pulmonary infection in septic mice. Consequently, we anticipate that our in situ transformable BATMAN holds promise as a therapeutic alternative for sepsis-associated secondary infection.

HtrA-Mediated Selective Degradation of DNA Uptake Apparatus Accelerates Termination of Pneumococcal Transformation

Project description:As a sextual behavior, competence or natural transformation mediates lateral gene transfer, and thereby promotes exchange of antibiotic resistance and virulence traits among bacteria. Competence is assoicated with activation of many genes, rapid build-up of membrane-bound DNA uptake apparatus, and transient growth arrest. It is completely unknown how transformable bacteria recover from the competence-associated status. This work reveals that the membrane-associated HtrA protease enables the pneumococcus (an important human pathogen) to recover from the competence-associated status by breaking down the DNA uptake apparatus. This is achieved by selective degradation of ComEA and ComEC, the major components of the DNA uptake apparatus. Deleting htrA and/or over-expressing comEA-EC led to dramatic delay in competence termination. Based on high conservation of HtrA and DNA uptake proteins among transformable bacterial, the HtrA protease may serve as a general regulator of bacteria recovery from the competence-associated status.

Genome-wide siRNA screen of genes regulating the Lipopolysaccharide-induced NF-κB and TNF-α responses in mouse macrophages

Project description:The mammalian innate immune system senses many bacterial stimuli through the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. Activation of the TLR4 receptor by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the most widely studied TLR pathway due to its central role in host responses to gram-negative bacterial infection and its contribution to endotoxemia and sepsis. Here we describe a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify genes regulating the mouse macrophage TNF-α and NF-κB responses to LPS. We include a secondary validation screen conducted with six independent siRNAs per gene to facilitate removal of off-target screen hits. We also provide microarray data from the same LPS-treated macrophage cells to facilitate downstream data analysis. These data provide a resource for analyzing gene function in the predominant pathway driving inflammatory signaling and cytokine expression in mouse macrophages.

Citrulline supplementation leads to increased immune suppression and more severe outcomes in infected newborn piglets

Project description:Background: Preterm infants are at high risk of infection and sepsis, which is associated with arginine (ARG) deficiency. Optimal nutrition for preterm newborns suspected with infection is critical to prevent sepsis development. Citrulline (CIT) supplementation is known to prevent sepsis in adult rodents, by maintaining sufficient blood ARG levels and vascular stabilization. We hypothesized that CIT therapy improve sepsis outcomes in infected preterm newborns via CIT and ARG metabolism.Results: After infection, oral CIT supplementation led to higher mortality, blood bacterial load, and circulating and hepatic inflammation, compared with the infected controls. Intravenous CIT administration also showed increased inflammation and bacterial burdens without increased mortality. Liver transcriptomics and data from in vitro blood stimulation indicated that CIT induces enhanced immunosuppression, which may impair resistance response to bacteria at early stage of infection and later cause excessive inflammation and tissue damage. Conclusion: Early stage of CIT supplementation exacerbates sepsis severity in infected preterm pigs, likely via induced enhanced systemic immunosuppression.

Phenotyping of BM TpMos and Mature Ly6Chi monocytes in steady state and during sepsis

Project description:Circulating monocytes are crucial for tissue resident macrophage (TRM) replenishment. While a temporary loss of TRMs does not impose immediate danger to the host in sterile conditions, the niche comprising of dying macrophages in the presence of pathogenic bacteria predisposes the host to increased morbidity if these cells are not effectively replaced. Importantly, monocytes have been shown to be susceptible to cell death after executing effector functions such as phagocytosis. Hence, the demands and contribution of monocytes in pathogen clearance and macrophage differentiation is perplexing. Interestingly, we show that proliferating transitional pre-monocytes (TpMos), an immediate precursor of mature Ly6Chi monocytes (MatMos), were mobilized into the periphery in response to acute bacterial infection and sepsis. Since TpMos are absent in the circulation in the steady state, we aim to understand how TpMo recruitment into the periphery may result in differing functions from MatMos during sepsis.

Expression data from mouse bone marrow derived macrophages

Project description:Macrophages phagocytose bacteria. Certain pathogenic bacteria access and replicate within the cytosol of infected macrophages and induce changes in macrophage gene expression by triggering of innate immune receptors and/or the effects of bacterial virulence factors. We used microarray analysis to identify changes in macrophage gene expression following infection with Listeria monocytogenes.

Single cell time course of macrophages exposed to Salmonella enterica subsp. typhimurium

Project description:We present a detailed single cell time course of the macrophage response to Salmonella infection. By combining phenotypic fluorescent labels with single cell expression analysis we are able to identify gene modules associated with bacterial exposure and bacterial infection. We also identify other genetic clusters that are expressed heterogenously, ananlyzing both their regulation and their impact on infection Analysis of 192 single cells across 4 time points after Salmonella exposure (MOI 1:1) with one of three different fluorescent labels indicating whether a given cell contained no intracellular bacteria (non-fluorescent), contained dead intracellular bacteria (only pHrodo positive), or contained live intracellular bacteria (pHrodo and GFP positive)

Molecular control of PDPNhi macrophage subset induction by ADAP as a host defense in sepsis II

Project description:The macrophage response to infected microbes is crucial for the development of life-threatening sepsis. However, the mechanisms underlying pathophysiological regulation of macrophage subsets during sepsis remain poorly understood. Here, we report a novel mechanism in which the adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP) is essential for priming macrophages to induce podoplanin (PDPN) in response to bacterial infection during sepsis. We showed that ADAP expression was robustly induced in macrophages following LPS stimulation and was associated with sepsis severity. Furthermore, PDPN failed to be upregulated in TLR4 stimulated macrophages deficient in ADAP. A distinct PDPNhi peritoneal macrophage (PM) subset, which exhibited an M2-like phenotype and enhanced phagocytic activity, was generated in WT but not in ADAP-deficient septic mice. The blockade of PDPNhi PMs mimicked the effect of ADAP deficiency, which exacerbated sepsis. Mechanistically, BTK-mediated ADAP Y571 phosphorylation worked together with mTOR to converge on STAT3 activation for the transactivation of the PDPN promoter. Moreover, agonist activation of STAT3 profoundly potentiated the PDPNhi PM subset generation and alleviated sepsis severity in mice. Together, our findings reveal a novel mechanism whereby ADAP resets macrophage function by controlling the TLR4-induced upregulation of PDPN as a host innate immune defense during sepsis.
