HnRNPA2B1 tunes antimycobacterial immune responses in macrophages through alternative splicing of Irgm1

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing (AS) has been implicated in host responses to diverse pathogens, but our understanding of its role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection remains incomplete. Using RNA-sequencing and splicing-aware computational pipelines, we quantified AS in Mtb-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). We found that ~5% of expressed macrophage genes exhibit one or more splicing changes at 8h post-Mtb infection, highlighting AS as a key layer of regulation in the macrophage response to intracellular pathogens. We next sought to identify RNA binding proteins that play an outsized role in shaping the macrophage transcriptome during Mtb infection. We discovered that the splicing factor hnRNPA2B1 promotes the early induction of inflammatory genes while dampening several type I interferon-stimulated genes. HnRNPA2B1 also controls alternative splicing of transcripts, notably Irgm1, a critical immunity-related GTPase. We report that the abundance of Irgm1-long, the canonical isoform, and Irgm1-short, an isoform lacking a lysosomal targeting domain is differentially regulated in response to diverse inflammatory cues. Macrophages overexpressing Irgm1-short are defective in restricting Mtb replication and accumulate LC3+ bacilli. These data highlight a key role for AS in shaping the macrophage transcriptome and pinpoint hnRNPA2B1 as a novel restriction factor in the cell-intrinsic response to Mtb.

Type I IFN signaling in the absence of IRGM1 promotes M. tuberculosis replication in immune cells by suppressing T cell responses

Project description:Polymorphisms in the IRGM gene are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis in humans. A murine ortholog of Irgm, Irgm1, is also essential for controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection in mice. Multiple processes have been associated with IRGM1 activity that could impact the host response to Mtb infection, including roles in autophagy-mediated pathogen clearance and expansion of activated T cells. However, what IRGM1-mediated pathway is necessary to control Mtb infecion in vivo and the mechanistic basis for this control remains unknown. We dissected the contribution of IRGM1 to immune control of Mtb pathogenesis in vivo and found that Irgm1 deletion leads to higher levels of IRGM3-dependent type I interferon signaling. The increased type I interferon signaling precludes T cell expansion during Mtb infection. The absence of Mtb-specific T cell expansion in Irgm1 -/- mice results in uncontrolled Mtb infection in neutrophils and alveolar macrophages, which directly contributes to susceptibility to infection. Together, our studies reveal that IRGM1 is required to promote T cell-mediated control of Mtb infection in neutrophils, which is essential for the survival of Mtb-infected mice. These studies also uncover new ways type I interferon signaling can impact TH1 immune responses.

c-Myc Inhibits Macrophage Antimycobacterial Response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a major global cause of mortality, responsible for over a million deaths each year. Despite this burden, natural immunity prevents disease in more than 90% of exposed individuals. Previous studies have identified interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) as a key regulator of innate immune defense against MTB. Here, we investigate the impact of IFN-γ timing on macrophage-mediated control of MTB infection. We demonstrate that IFN-γ exposure before infection enhances macrophage antibacterial activity, whereas post-infection exposure does not. Further analysis of this phenotype revealed a strong association between c-Myc signaling and macrophage function in MTB control, as identified through unbiased in vitro systems approaches. Given the difficulty of perturbing c-Myc in primary cells, we developed a lentiviral system for c-Myc inhibition and overexpression. We profiled both datasets (IFN-γ timing and c-Myc inhibition) to characterize the resulting transcriptional shifts.

The RNA binding protein HNRNPA2B1 regulates IFNG signaling in macrophages

Project description:Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (HNRNPA2B1) is a well known RNA binding protein but the mechanisms by which it contributes to innate immune gene regulation is poorly understood. Here we report that HNRNPA2B1 functions in macrophages to regulate IFNG signaling through alternative splicing of the IFNG receptor. Specific deletion of HNRNPA2B1 in macrophages using our newly developed conditional mice crossed to LysMCre resulted in altered cytokine responses in both an endotoxic shock model and following Salmonella infection. Interestingly, while HNRNPA2B1 can function as a viability gene, we observed increased macrophage and neutrophil numbers in the KO mice following LPS induced endotoxic shock. HNRNPA2B1 KO mice were more susceptible to Salmonella and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infections and failed to effectively clear the pathogens. Mechanistically, loss of HNRNPA2B1 resulted in an increase in No-GO transcripts of the IFNG receptor (Ifngr) leading to lower expression of the receptor at the cell surface impacting the downstream IFNG signaling cascade. Collectively, our data highlights an important role for HNRNPA2B1 in regulating IFNG signaling in macrophages.

Genome-wide maps of H3K4me1 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv-infected macrophages

Project description:Host macrophage transcriptional responses to intracellular pathogens remain poorly characterized. We screened transcriptional enhancers engaged in response to M. tuberculosis (Mtb) infection by ChIPseq analysis of histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1). De novo monomethylation during infection was associated with genes implicated in host defense and apoptosis. These regions were enriched for binding sites for ETS transcription factor family members and response elements for nuclear receptors, including liver X receptors (LXRs) and peroxisomal proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), many of which were encompassed by transposable elements. LXRa expression was strongly induced by infection, whereas that of PPARs was unaffected. LXR DNA binding and NCoR corepressor recruitment increased proportionately in infected cells but coactivator association was unchanged, consistent with a lack of induction of endogenous agonists. However, treatment of infected cells with LXR agonist T0901317 strongly increased coactivator recruitment and induced a gene expression program characterized by enhanced innate immune signaling and lipid metabolism. Remarkably, T0901317 treatment selectively induced apoptosis in infected macrophages, and was accompanied by Mtb death, reducing mycobacterial burden 18-fold relative to vehicle 5d after infection. These studies define macrophage transcriptional responses to Mtb infection, and suggest that tissue-specific LXRa agonists may be efficacious in clinical management of tuberculosis.

Tollip isoforms as key regulators of macrophage phenotype and response to LPS

Project description:Pathogen recognition via the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways leads to inflammatory responses by innate immune cells. The Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) is an ubiquitin-binding protein which negatively regulates TLR signaling. We have previously described extensive alternative splicing of Tollip in human and mouse macrophages. In the current study we examined the role of two mouse Tollip isoforms in innate immune responses: the canonical full-length form (Tollip.a), and a novel 220 amino acid isoform (Tollip.b), which lacks the Ub-binding domain. We hypothesized that alternative splicing of this negative regulator contributes to the diversification of macrophage responses to pathogens. The function of the two Tollip isoforms was studied by over-expressing the variants in the macrophage-like cell line, RAW264.7.

Has-miR-30c-1-3p inhibits macrophage autophagy and pro-motes Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival by targeting ATG4B and ATG9B

Project description:Autophagy is a widespread physiological process in the body, which also protects the host by degrading invading pathogens and harmful substances during pathological conditions. However, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) can affect the process of autophagy by regulating the expres-sion of microRNAs (miRNAs), allowing for immune evasion. In this study, we constructed a model of a strong virulent strain (H37Rv) infection in human macrophage cell line. Following H37Rv infection, we screened 14 differentially expressed miRNAs by RNA-seq and bioinformatics. We predicted and demonstrated that miR-30c-1-3p inhibits autophagy and promotes macrophage survival by targeting ATG4B and ATG9B during the infection process.Additionally, the intervention of miR-30c-1-3p mimics resulted in an increased bacterial load in macrophages, suggesting that MTB achieves immune evasion by upregulating miR-30c-1-3p during infection. In conclusion, our study provides a valuable target for the development of host-directed anti-tuberculosis therapy as well as a new diagnostic marker.

Serine arginine-rich splicing factor (SRSF7) cooperates with the histone methyltransferase KMT5a to promote the type I interferon response via transcriptional activation of IRF7

Project description:Tight regulation of macrophage immune gene expression is required to fight infection without risking harmful inflammation. The contribution of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) to shaping the macrophage response to pathogens remains poorly understood. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that a member of the serine/arginine-rich (SR) family of mRNA processing factors, SRSF7, is required for optimal expression of a cohort of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in macrophages. Using genetic and biochemical assays, we discovered that in addition to its canonical role in regulating alternative splicing, SRSF7 drives transcription of interferon regulatory transcription factor 7 (IRF7) to promote antiviral immunity. At the Irf7 promoter, SRSF7 maximizes STAT1 transcription factor binding and RNA polymerase II elongation via cooperation with the H4K20me1 histone methyltransferase KMT5a (SET8). These studies define an unorthodox role for an SR protein in activating transcription and reveal an unappreciated RNA binding protein-chromatin network that orchestrates macrophage antiviral gene expression.
