Hormonal rewiring of immunity upholds pathogen control and systemic nutrient homeostasis during dietary restriction

ABSTRACT: Food shortages and infectious diseases were constant threats throughout mammalian evolution and often occurred simultaneously. When food availability is reduced, it is unclear how the host adapts to fuel energy-demanding immune processes while preventing malnutrition. In the context of dietary restriction (DR), we found that glucocorticoids (GCs) are increased and promoted naïve T cell homing to the bone marrow niche, a site that supported their survival at steady-state. In response to a primary infection, DR-induced GCs dramatically rewired innate and adaptive immunity to simultaneously promote pathogen control and prevent hypoglycemia. This was achieved by dampening neutrophil glycolytic metabolism, which paradoxically enhanced their survival, function, and capacity to control pathogens. In parallel to enhancing neutrophils, DR-induced GCs restrained the generation of pathogen-specific effector T cells. This was essential for preventing hypoglycemia while combating a primary infection during DR. Although effector T cell responses were dampened, DR-induced GCs enriched for memory precursor effector cells to optimize memory T cell formation. Altogether, our work reveals a fundamental host adaptation strategy that upholds immediate and long-term pathogen control while maintaining systemic nutrient homeostasis in the setting of reduced food availability. These results redefine GCs as dominant optimizers of organismal fitness that align immunity and metabolic physiology with the nutritional status of the host.

Dietary restriction promotes anti-tumor immunity via T cell mediated ketone body metabolism

Project description:Diet can shape immune function in vivo, but the molecular mechanism remains poorly defined. In this study, we investigated how a reduction in food intake (hereafter referred to as dietary restriction or DR) affects CD8+ T cell function in multiple models. We found that DR reduced tumor burden in mice in a CD8+ T cell-dependent manner, indicating that the anti-tumor effects of DR are mediated by the immune system. Consistent with this observation, DR increased CD8+ T cell effector function, including production of interferon-γ and granzyme B. Moreover, analysis of tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells showed DR led to a decrease in markers of T cell exhaustion (PD1, TIM3, TOX) and an increase in markers of cell stemness (LY108, TCF1). In a model of Listeria infection, we further showed that DR enhances CD8+ T cell mitochondrial fitness and bioenergetic capacity, indicating that DR impacts both CD8+ T cell metabolism and effector function. Using stable isotope tracing, we identified that CD8+ T cells from mice on DR preferentially consumed the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB), which is elevated 3-fold in serum of in mice on DR relative to ad libitum-fed mice. Notably, the effects of DR on anti-tumor immunity were attenuated in conditional knockout mice in which T cells are unable to catabolize βOHB, supporting that DR enhances anti-tumor immunity, in part, through increasing βOHB availability and metabolism by T cells. Current and future studies are exploring the effects of DR on different immune cell populations within tumors to further delineate the mechanism(s) by which DR enhances the immune response in cancer.

Long-term intermittent fasting restores function of the gut–liver axis and prevents development of diabetic retinopathy in db/db mice

Project description:Constant availability of food can contribute to the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Short term intermittent fasting (IF) can reset the central, light-entrained (suprachiastmatic nucleus) clock and also the peripheral, food-entrained (liver) clock to restore metabolic homeostasis in T2D. We asked if long term IF could prevent development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a type 2 diabetes model, the db/db mouse. After 7 months, IF corrected diabetes-induced increases in triglycerides, cholesteryl esters and diglycerides. IF protocol in db/db mice also prevented development of DR. In addition, host frequency and time of food intake affected the gut microbiome composition. IF led to decreased levels of Clostridiales and Akkermansia muciniphila in db/db mice and these changes in flora were accompanied by increased gut mucin, goblet cell number and villus length. Increased levels of Firmicutes in db/db mice on IF supported improved bile acid metabolism. To confirm that the restoration of bile acid function could contribute to the beneficial effects induced by IF on DR, the dual FXR/TGR-5 agonist INT-767 was administered to a second diabetes model, DBA2J mice injected with streptozotocin (STZ) and placed on Western diet (WD). In this model, INT-767 prevented development of DR. These findings support the concept that long-term IF mediates multiple beneficial effect by restoring the gut-liver axis homeostasis.

Expression profiling during arabidopsis/downy mildew interaction reveals a highly-expressed effector that attenuates responses to salicylic acid.

Project description:Plants have evolved strong innate immunity mechanisms, but successful pathogens evade or suppress plant immunity via effectors delivered into the plant cell. Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) causes downy mildew on Arabidopsis thaliana, and a genome sequence is available for isolate Emoy2. Here, we exploit the availability of genome sequences for Hpa and Arabidopsis to measure gene-expression changes in both Hpa and Arabidopsis simultaneously during infection. Using a high-throughput cDNA tag sequencing method, we reveal expression patterns of Hpa predicted effectors and Arabidopsis genes in compatible and incompatible interactions, and promoter elements associated with Hpa genes expressed during infection. By resequencing Hpa isolate Waco9, we found it evades Arabidopsis resistance gene RPP1 through deletion of the cognate recognized effector ATR1. Arabidopsis salicylic acid (SA)-responsive genes including PR1 were activated not only at early time points in the incompatible interaction but also at late time points in the compatible interaction. By histochemical analysis, we found that Hpa suppresses SA-inducible PR1 expression, specifically in the haustoriated cells into which host-translocated effectors are delivered, but not in non-haustoriated adjacent cells. Finally, we found a highly-expressed Hpa effector candidate that suppresses responsiveness to SA. As this approach can be easily applied to host-pathogen interactions for which both host and pathogen genome sequences are available, this work opens the door towards transcriptome studies in infection biology that should help unravel pathogen infection strategies and the mechanisms by which host defense responses are overcome.

Data-dependent and independent acquisition of Salmonella in epithelial cells throughout the infection process

Project description:Viewing the scarce amount of protein material coming from the bacterial pathogen in infection models and despite the availability of contemporary, highly sensitive and fast scanning mass spectrometers, the power requirement still not suffices to study the host and pathogen proteomes simultaneously. In the present work we aimed to establish a DIA mass spectrometry workflow for improving the protein identification and quantification of LC-MS/MS, in Salmonella infected epithelial cells, therefore enabling simultaneous host and pathogen protein expression profiling at different time post infection.

A coordinated cellular network regulates tolerance to food

Project description:To absorb nutrients and support commensal microbes, the host induces tolerogenic immune responses via peripheral regulatory T cells (pTregs) . Prior studies identified type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) as initiators of dietary pTregs. However, we now report that food-specific pTreg cells are exclusively induced by the recently identified RORγt APCs and not by cDCs. Instead, our data suggest that pTreg–cDC1 interactions in steady-state limit the expansion of food-specific CD8αβ T cells. This regulation breaks during infection or food poisoning, enabling dietary CD8αβ T cells to expand and acquire effector functions in response to mimicked food antigens. Unlike in typical infections, after the pathogen is cleared, dietary CD8αβ T cells do not expand in response to their corresponding dietary antigens. Thus, we propose that in response to dietary antigens, tolerance is mediated by a circuit of dedicated antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T cells. When the host is challenged by infection, this circuit permits the transient expansion of protective effector responses without compromising the overall strategy of tolerance that ensures safe food consumption.

The Bone Marrow Protects and Optimizes Immunological Memory during Dietary Restriction

Project description:Mammals evolved in the face of fluctuating food availability. How the immune system adapts to transient nutritional stress remains poorly understood. Here, we show that memory T cells collapsed in secondary lymphoid organs in the context of dietary restriction (DR) but dramatically accumulated within the bone marrow (BM), where they adopted a state associated with energy conservation. This response was coordinated by glucocorticoids and associated with a profound remodeling of the BM compartment, which included an increase in T cell homing factors, erythropoiesis, and adipogenesis. Adipocytes and CXCR4-CXCL12 and S1P-S1P1R interactions contributed to enhanced T cell accumulation in BM during DR. Memory T cell homing to BM during DR was associated with enhanced protection against infections and tumors. Together, this work uncovers a fundamental host strategy to sustain and optimize immunological memory during nutritional challenges that involved a temporal and spatial reorganization of the memory pool within ‘‘safe haven’’ compartments.

Data-dependent and independent acquisition of complex human-Salmonella mixed proteomes

Project description:Viewing the scarce amount of protein material coming from the bacterial pathogen in infection models and despite the availability of contemporary, highly sensitive and fast scanning mass spectrometers, the power requirement still not suffices to study the host and pathogen proteomes simultaneously. In the present work we aimed to establish a DIA mass spectrometry workflow for improving the protein identification and quantification of LC-MS/MS, particularly in case of complex samples containing a fairly low amount of peptide material derived from Salmonella, therefore enabling simultaneous host and pathogen protein expression profiling reflecting actual infection conditions.

Probe-based spatial host-pathogen genes expression to study bacterial pathogenesis and the regulation of bacterial virulence factors in tissue.

Project description:Co-localization of host and pathogen spatial transcriptome information can improve our understanding on how inflammatory environments modulate pathogen virulence in tissues and vice versa. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that bacterial probes can be used to simultaneously identify host-pathogen mutual interactions in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues using spatial transcriptomics technology. With properly designed probes targeting pathogens of interest, our approach could provide an improved definition of infection processes by detecting pathogen and host genes expression simultaneously, spatially distributed, and unbiased.
