Lethal Mtb dissemination occurre in the combined absence of lymhocytes and is independent of innate immune response

ABSTRACT: About two billion people are latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which can reside in multiple organs, including the lymphatics. The risk of latent Mtb infection (LTBI) reactivation increases with immunosuppression, such as HIV coinfection, yet the immunological correlates that maintain LTBI remain largely elusive. Using a mouse model of contained lymphatic Mtb infection we dissect the drivers of containment versus reactivation. We show that immunosuppression-induced dissemination of lymphatic Mtb and ensuing progressive disease can be prevented by vaccination with BCG or recombinant BCG even in the absence of CD4+ T cells. Multi-parameter imaging, spatial transcriptomics and network analysis reveal that anti-CD4-mediated immunosuppression triggers distinct repositioning of non-CD4 immune cells at the edge of TB lesions in cervical lymph nodes. Although B cell numbers increase, they prove dispensable for Mtb containment during CD4+ T cell loss. Using immune cell-deficient mice, cell depletion and adoptive transfers, we reveal that CD8+ T cells mediate vaccination-induced prevention of Mtb dissemination in the absence of CD4+ T cells, informing LTBI management in immunocompromised individuals.

Spatial whole transcriptome analysis (GeoMx; Nanostring) of cervical lymph nodes (cLNs) from C57BL/6 mice infected intradermally (i.d.) with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reveals transcriptional changes at the edge of lesions.

Project description:Here, we used a mouse model of latent lymphatic M. tuberculosis (Mtb) infection (LTBI) to dissect the immunological mechanisms underlying LTBI containment versus reactivation. We show that immunosuppression-mediated reactivation of lymphatic LTBI and the subsequent induction of progressive disease can be prevented by vaccination with BCG or recombinant BCG (BCG::ESAT-6-PE25SS (abbreviated to PE25) even in the absence of CD4+ T cells. Spatial transcriptomics, network analysis and bioinformatic reveal that anti-CD4-mediated immunosuppression is associated with and enhanced immune response at the edge of TB lesions within the infection-draining cervical lymph nodes.

A Ferritin Mutant Induces Protective Immunity against Virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Project description:Iron plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many organisms including Mtb. It is the preferred redox cofactor in many basic cellular processes but due to its insolubility and potential toxicity under physiological conditions is a limiting nutrient in the host environment. Previously, we demonstrated that Mtb requires the iron storage protein ferritin (BfrB), for adaptation to both low and sufficient concentrations of environmental iron. We also showed that absence of bfrB compromises the ability of Mtb to overcome iron deficiency and prevent excess iron toxicity. In this study, we tested whether vaccination with ?bfrB could elicit host protective immune response against virulent Mtb infection. The results show that immunization of mice with the ?bfrB stimulates protective immunity associated with reduced immunopathology and better containment of the infection compared to vaccination with BCG. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis showed a distinct expression pattern of significantly differentially expressed genes (SDEG) between the ?bfrB and BCG-vaccinated, Mtb-infected mice lungs. Our network/pathway analysis of SDEG revealed significant inhibition of inflammatory response genes and activation of fibrosis genes in the ?bfrB, compared to BCG vaccinated, Mtb-infected mice lungs. The results provide a frame work for the study of mechanisms of protection relevant for the design of new and improved preventive strategies for TB. Female C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated subcutaneously with ?bfrB or BCG . At 8 weeks post-vaccination, mice were aerosol infected with Mtb H37Rv. At 4 weeks post infection, mice were sacrificed and lungs were removed. Lung total RNA from vaccinated and Mtb-infected mice was extracted, purified and were processed separately for microarray analysis.

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.

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.

Spontaneous Latency in a Rabbit Model of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is an exquisitely adapted human pathogen capable of surviving for decades in the lungs of immune competent individuals in absence of disease. The World Health Organization estimates that 2 billion people have latent TB infection (LTBI), defined by positive immunologic response to Mtb antigens with no clinical signs of disease. A better understanding of host and pathogen determinants of LTBI and subsequent reactivation would benefit TB control efforts. Animal models of LTBI have been hampered mainly by an inability to achieve complete bacillary clearance. We have characterized a rabbit model of LTBI in which, similar to most humans, complete clearance of pulmonary Mtb infection and pathology occurs spontaneously. The evidence that Mtb-CDC1551-infected rabbits achieve LTBI, rather than sterilization, is based on the ability of the bacilli to be reactivated following immune suppression. The microarray experiments involves comparison of: 1) Changes in rabbit gene expression between Mtb-CDC1551 infected and uninfected animals at 2,4,8 and 12 weeks post infection. New Zealand White rabbits were infected with Mtb CDC1551 at 3.5log10 (on day 0). Lung tissue from Mtb-infected rabbits were isolated from uninfected (control) and at 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks post infection and used for total RNA extraction. Total rabbit lung RNA was used for microarray analysis to determine infection induced changes in host gene expression.
