Genetic and Acquired Lysosomal Disorders Drive Susceptibility to Tuberculosis by Compromising Macrophage Migration

ABSTRACT: A zebrafish forward genetic screen for determinants of susceptibility to Mycobacterium marinum identified a hypersusceptible mutant deficient in the lysosomal hydrolase Cathepsin L that manifests the hallmarks of human lysosomal storage diseases. In uninfected mutants, macrophages progressively accumulate undigested material in their lysosomes, leading to impaired migration and the accumulation of unengulfed cell debris. During mycobacterial infection, these vacuolated macrophages cannot migrate to phagocytose infected macrophages undergoing apoptosis in the tuberculous granuloma. Consequently, unengulfed apoptotic macrophages undergo secondary necrosis causing granuloma breakdown and increased mycobacterial growth. Macrophage lysosomal accumulations similarly impair migration to newly infecting mycobacteria. We find that important aspects of this phenotype are recapitulated in human smokers, who are at increased risk for tuberculosis. A majority of alveolar macrophages from smokers exhibit lysosomal accumulations and do not migrate to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This incapacitation of highly microbicidal first-responding macrophages may contribute to smokers' susceptibility to tuberculosis.

Macrophage Epithelial Reprogramming Underlies Mycobacterial Granuloma Formation and Promotes Infection

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in humans triggers formation of granulomas, tightly organized immune cell aggregates that are the central structure of tuberculosis. Infected and uninfected macrophages interdigitate, assuming an altered, flattened appearance. Although pathologists have described these changes for over a century, the molecular and cellular programs underlying this transition are unclear. We find that mycobacterial granuloma formation is accompanied by macrophage induction of canonical epithelial molecules and structures. Using the zebrafish-Mycobacterium marinum model, we identify fundamental macrophage reprogramming events that parallel E-cadherin-dependent mesenchymal-epithelial transitions. Macrophage-specific disruption of E-cadherin function results in disordered granuloma formation, enhanced immune cell access, decreased bacterial burden and increased host survival, suggesting that the granuloma can also serve a bacteria-protective role. In humans, we find that granuloma macrophages are similarly transformed. Long considered largely through the prism of immune signaling pathways, granuloma macrophages are reprogrammed by epithelial modules that alter the trajectory of mycobacterial infection.

Dissecting the Mycobacterium bovis BCG response to macrophage infection to identify targets for anti-tuberculosis drug and vaccine discovery

Project description:New strategies are required to reduce the worldwide burden of tuberculosis. Intracellular survival and replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis after macrophage phagocytosis is a fundamental step in the complex host-pathogen interactions that lead to granuloma formation and disease. Greater understanding of how the bacterium survives and thrives in these environments will inform novel drug and vaccine discovery programmes. Here, we use in-depth RNA sequencing of Mycobacterium bovis BCG from human THP-1 macrophages to describe the mycobacterial adaptations to the intracellular environment. We identify 329 significantly differentially regulated genes, highlighting cholesterol catabolism, methyl-citrate cycle and iron homeostasis as important for mycobacteria inside macrophages. Focused analysis of PE/PPE and cytochrome P450 gene families highlight additional pathways that are upregulated (35 and five respectively) 24h after infection. Comparison of the intracellular transcriptome to gene essentiality and immunogenicity studies identified 15 potential targets that are both required for intracellular survival and induced on infection, and eight genes upregulated that have been demonstrated to be immunogenic in TB patients. Further insight into these new and established targets will support drug and vaccine development efforts.

Transcription profiling of mouse lung from a strain overexpressing IL-10 under control of the macrophage-specific CD68 promoter (macIL-10tg mice) after Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Project description:The cytokine IL-10 deactivates macrophages and has been shown to impair resistance to mycobacterial infection. We have infected transgenic mice overexpressing IL-10 under control of the macrophage-specific CD68 promoter (macIL-10tg mice) with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by aerosol and found increased bacterial loads in the lungs of macIL-10tg mice. To identify programs of genes regulated by IL-10 and associated with increased mycobacterial replication, genome-wide expression analysis was performed.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals inflammasome-dependent mechanism for early neutrophil response to Mycobacterium Marinum

Project description:The mechanisms that govern the neutrophil response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis remain poorly understood. In this study we utilize an innovative binary approach in zebrafish to perform in depth profiling of the initial response of neutrophils to Mycobacterium marinum, by in vivo biotinylation of neutrophil nuclei and subsequent rapid isolation directly from the in vivo context. RNA-seq and differential expression analysis of the neutrophil nuclear transcriptome reveals a significant upregulation in both damage-sensing and effector components of the inflammasome, including caspase b, wu:fb15h11 (NLRC3 ortholog) and il1β. Crispr/Cas9-mediated knockdown of caspase b, which mediates its effects by the proteolytic processing of il1β, results in increased bacterial burden and less infiltration of macrophages to sites of mycobacterium infection, thus impairing granuloma development. We also show that a number of immediate early response genes (IEGs) are responsible for orchestrating the initial response to mycobacterial infection in neutrophils. Further perturbation of the IEGs revealed egr3 as a key transcription factor regulating il1β transcription.

Lysosome repositioning as an autophagy escape mechanism by Mycobacterium tuberuculosis Beijing strain

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal-dependent cellular degradation process shown to play a key role in immune defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis inside host macrophages. Induction of autophagy enhances mycobacterial phagosome acquisition of lysosomal hydrolases, resulting in the destruction of intracellular M. tuberculosis reference strain H37Rv and strains belonging to the East African Indian genotype. However, our previous study showed that strains belonging to the hypervirulent M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype have a special ability to resist autophagic killing but the mechanism involved remains unclear. In this study, we carried out whole transcriptome analyses of host macrophages infected with the autophagy resistant Beijing strain compared to that of H37Rv. Our results identified several genes that are differentially regulated in the Beijing strain-infected host cells including those function in the lysosome positioning pathway. Host macrophages depleted of Kxd1 and Pleckhm2, two proteins in this pathway, can now enhance the lysosomal hydrolase acquisition into the Beijing phagosomes and restrict the bacterial survival upon autophagy induction. High-content image analysis showed an increase in lysosome numbers at the cell periphery in host cells infected with the autophagy resistant Beijing strain in a Pleckhm2-dependent manner. Taken together, these data indicated that the M. tuberculosis Beijing strain escapes autophagic elimination by upregulating the lysosome positioning pathway resulting in an increase in lysosome relocation toward the cell periphery and therefore sparing the mycobacteria from autophagic restriction. Our work thus identified new strategy employed by M. tuberculosis to evade autophagy which may provide potential new targets for drug discovery against tuberculosis

Mycobacterial p(1)-type ATPases mediate resistance to zinc poisoning in human macrophages.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis thrives within macrophages by residing in phagosomes and preventing them from maturing and fusing with lysosomes. A parallel transcriptional survey of intracellular mycobacteria and their host macrophages revealed signatures of heavy metal poisoning. In particular, mycobacterial genes encoding heavy metal efflux P-type ATPases CtpC, CtpG, and CtpV, and host cell metallothioneins and zinc exporter ZnT1, were induced during infection. Consistent with this pattern of gene modulation, we observed a burst of free zinc inside macrophages, and intraphagosomal zinc accumulation within a few hours postinfection. Zinc exposure led to rapid CtpC induction, and ctpC deficiency caused zinc retention within the mycobacterial cytoplasm, leading to impaired intracellular growth of the bacilli. Thus, the use of P(1)-type ATPases represents a M. tuberculosis strategy to neutralize the toxic effects of zinc in macrophages. We propose that heavy metal toxicity and its counteraction might represent yet another chapter in the host-microbe arms race. [Data is also available from http://bugs.sgul.ac.uk/E-BUGS-122]

Gene expression profiling of granuloma T cells in M. tuberculosis infected rhesus macaques reveals a critical role for CD30 [Macaca mulatta]

Project description:Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires generation of T cells that migrate to granulomas, complex immune structures surrounding sites of bacterial replication. Here we compared the gene expression profiles of T cells in pulmonary granulomas, bronchoalveolar lavage and blood of Mtb-infected rhesus macaques to identify granuloma-enriched T cell genes. TNFRSF8/CD30 was among the top genes that was upregulated in both CD4 and CD8 granuloma T cells and independent of bacterial loads. Transcriptomic profiling of lung T cells from Mtb-infected mixed bone marrow chimeric mice showed that CD30 directly promotes CD4 T cell differentiation and effector molecule expression. Moreover, in mice CD30 expression on CD4 T cells is required for survival of Mtb infection. These results show the CD30 co-stimulatory axis is highly upregulated on granuloma T cells and is critical for the generation of protective T cell responses against Mtb infection.
