Gene Expression Profiling Reveals Unique Pathways Associated with Differential Severity of Lyme Arthritis

ABSTRACT: The murine model of Lyme disease provides a unique opportunity to study the localized host response to similar stimulus, B. burgdorferi, in the joints of mice destined to develop severe arthritis (C3H) or mild disease (C57BL/6). Pathways associated with the response to infection and the development of Lyme arthritis were identified by global gene expression patterns using oligonucleotide microarrays. A robust induction of IFN responsive genes was observed in severely arthritic C3H mice at one week of infection, which was absent from mildly arthritic C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, infected C57BL/6 mice displayed a novel expression profile characterized by genes involved in epidermal differentiation and wound repair, which were decreased in the joints of C3H mice. These expression patterns were associated with disease state rather than inherent differences between C3H and C57BL/6 mice, as C57BL/6-IL10-/- mice infected with B. burgdorferi develop more severe arthritis that C57BL/6 mice and displayed an early gene expression profile similar to C3H mice. Gene expression profiles at two and four weeks post infection revealed a common response of all strains that was likely to be important for the host defense to B. burgdorferi and mediated by NF-kB-dependent signaling. The gene expression profiles identified in this study add to the current understanding of the host response to B. burgdorferi and identify two novel pathways that may be involved in regulating the severity of Lyme arthritis.

The Cdkn2a gene product ARF is a critical regulator of IFNb mediated Lyme arthritis

Project description:Lyme disease is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, with a spectrum of clinical disorders. Murine studies with B6 and C3H mice have demonstrated that genetic differences in the host response play an essential role in regulating the severity of Lyme arthritis. C3H mice generate a robust induction of type I IFN response in joint tissue at one week of infection which leads to severe Lyme arthritis at 4 weeks post-infection, while B6 mice develop mild disease without a type I IFN profile. We used a forward genetic approach and identified B. burgdorferi arthritis- associated locus 1 (Bbaa1) on Chr4, which includes type I IFN cluster. B6.C3-Bbaa1 congenic mice display more severe Lyme arthritis than B6 mice. The blocking of type I IFN receptor and the IFNb subtype in Bbaa1 mice suppressed arthritis back to B6 level, so we concluded the Bbaa1 locus intrinsically controls IFNb production, and the differential expression of IFNb controls the severity of Lyme arthritis. However, the IFNb genes of C3H and B6 mice are identical, prompting focus on other genetic factors within the Bbaa1 locus as regulators of IFNb. Reciprocal radiation chimeras between B6.C3-Bbaa1 and B6 mice revealed myeloid cells in the joint tissue as IFNb initiators. Advanced congenic lines were generated to reduce the genetic contribution from C3H Bbaa1 region. RNA-seq of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from B6 and advanced interval specific recombinant congenic lines, ISRCL3 and ISRCL4, revealed novel candidates that may regulate Ifnb. In this study, we identify the Cdkn2a gene encoded ARF as a critical regulator of IFNb mediated Lyme arthritis, and investigate mechanistic interactions that modulate IFNb expression in Lyme arthritis development.

Borrelia burgdorferi induces a type I interferon response during early stages of disseminated infection in mice

Project description:Background: Lyme borrelia genotypes differ in their capacity to cause disseminated disease. Gene array analysis was employed to profile the host transcriptome induced by Borrelia burgdorferi strains with different capacities for causing disseminated disease in the blood of C3H/HeJ mice during early infection. Results: Borrelia burgdorferi B515, a clinical isolate that causes disseminated infection in mice, differentially regulated 236 transcripts (P<0.05 by ANOVA, with fold change of at least 2). The 216 significantly induced transcripts included IFN-responsive genes and genes involved in immunity and inflammation. In contrast, B. burgdorferi B331, a clinical isolate that causes transient skin infection but does not disseminate in C3H/HeJ mice, stimulated changes in only a few genes (1 induced, 4 repressed). Transcriptional regulation of type I IFN and IFN-related genes was measured by quantitative RT-PCR in mouse skin biopsies collected from the site of infection 24 hours after inoculation with B. burgdorferi. The mean values for transcript of Ifnb, Cxcl10, Gbp1, Ifit1, Ifit3, Irf7, Mx1, and Stat2, were found to be significantly increased in B. burgdorferi strain B515-infected mice relative to the control group. In contrast, transcription of these genes was not significantly changed in response to B. burgdorferi strain B331 or B31-4, a mutant that is unable to disseminate. Conclusions: These results establish a positive association between the disseminating capacity of B. burgdorferi and early type I IFN induction in a murine model of Lyme disease.

Expression data from MMP-8 wild type and KO mice with or without arthritis

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which joint inflammation lead to progressive cartilage and bone destruction. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) implicated in homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) play a central role in cartilage degradation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MMP-8 (collagenase-2) suppression in the K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis model. Three male mice of each following groups: MMP-8 wild type and arthritic mice, MMP-8 wild type without arthritis (wild type control), MMP-8 KO and arthritic mice and MMP-8 KO without arthritis (KO control) were selected for RNA extraction, from ankle joints, and hybridation on Affymetrix microarrays. Male mice were used because they showed a trend to higher arthritis severity compared to female mice. In arthritic mice, ankle joints were taken 7 days after arthritis induction.

Single cell RNA sequencing of murine ankle joints over time reveals distinct transcriptional and cellular changes in response to Borrelia burgdorferi infection

Project description:Borreliella burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease, which is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. While cases of Lyme disease are geographically limited to the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and Midwest states, there are still estimates of almost 500,000 cases annually in the United States alone. In this study, we sought to assess transcriptional changes that occur in response to B. burgdorferi infection in the ankle joints of C57BL/6 mice. To this end, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to transcriptionally profile cells, identify population heterogeneity, and analyze how cellular environments change over time. Sequencing of immune and non-immune cells in the mouse ankle joint was performed over five distinct time points, starting with uninfected animals and progressing to eight weeks post-infection in two-week increments.

Gene expression profiling during active Lyme arthritis development (22 days post infection with B. burgdorferi) in CD45 negative cells isolated from joint tissue of highly genetically similar mouse strains: B6, ISRCL4, and ISRCL3

Project description:Previously, using a forward genetic approach we identified B. burgdorferi arthritis-associated locus 1 (Bbaa1), a quantitative trait locus on Chr4, which physically encompasses the type I IFN gene cluster and regulates Lyme arthritis through heightened type I IFN production. Reciprocal radiation chimeras between B6.C3-Bbaa1 and B6 mice revealed that arthritis is initiated by radiation-sensitive cells, but orchestrated by radiation-resistant components of joint tissue. Advanced congenic lines were developed to reduce the physical size of the Bbaa1 interval, and RNA-seq of resident CD45- joint cells from advanced interval specific recombinant congenic lines (ISRCL4 and ISRCL3) identified myostatin as uniquely upregulated in association with Bbaa1 arthritis development. Our manuscript further demonstrates that myostatin expression is linked to IFN-β production, and in vivo inhibition of myostatin suppresses Lyme arthritis in the reduced interval Bbaa1 congenic mice, formally implicating myostatin as a novel downstream mediator of joint-specific inflammatory response to B. burgdorferi.

Borrelia burgdorferi fitness is constrained during Peromyscus leucopus infection

Project description:The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi drives a range of acute and chronic maladies in humans and other incidental hosts infected with the pathogen. However, the primary vertebrate reservoir, Peromyscus leucopus appears spared from any symptomology following infection. This has led to a common hypothesis that P. leucopus and B. burgdorferi exist symbiotically: P. leucopus restrain their immune response against the microbe and enable the enzootic cycle while B. burgdorferi avoids causing damage to the host. While aspects of this hypothesis have been tested, the exact interactions that occur between P. leucopus and B. burgdorferi during infection remain largely unknown. Here we utilized an inbred colony of P. leucopus in order to compare B. burgdorferi (B31) fitness in these rodents to the traditional B. burgdorferi murine models—C57BL/6J and C3H/HeN Mus musculus, which develop signs of inflammation akin to human disease. We find that in contrast to our expectations, B. burgdorferi were able to reach much higher burdens in M. musculus, and that the overall kinetics of infection differed between the two rodent species. Surprisingly, we also found that P. leucopus remained infectious to larval Ixodes scapularis for a far shorter period than either M. musculus strain. In line with these observations, we found that P. leucopus does launch a modest but sustained inflammatory response against B. burgdorferi in the skin, which we hypothesize leads to reduced bacterial viability and infectivity in these hosts. These observations provide new insight into the nature of reservoir species and the B. burgdorferi enzootic cycle.

RNA sequencing in arthritic joints of wild type and Sema3B deficient mice

Project description:We found that the severity of the K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis model is higher in Sema3B deficient (Sema3b-/-) mice. Here we analyzed by RNAseq the tranciptional differences in the joints of these mice group. We used four groups: 1) WT control (non-arthritic); 2) Sema3b-/- control; 3) WT arthritis day 9; 4) Sema3b-/- artritis day 9.
