Parasitic helminths repress the canonical intestinal stem cell program

ABSTRACT: The intestinal helminth parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus initiates infection in mice by penetrating the duodenal mucosa, where it develops while surrounded by a multicellular granulomatous infiltrate before emerging into the intestinal lumen. We examined early H. polygyrus infection to assess the epithelial response to disruption of the mucosal barrier. Unexpectedly, intestinal stem cell markers, including Lgr5 and Olfm4, were completely lost in crypts overlying larvae-associated granulomas. We sought to identify the mechanism by which the H. polygyrus granuloma represses the activity of intestinal stem cells.

NanoString analysis of mouse granulomas induced by H. polygyrus infection

Project description:Heligmosomoides polygyrus larvae induce a strong intestinal granuloma response within their murine host, which has been associated with resistance. Immune cells, mostly alternatively activated macrophages and eosinophils, accumulate around the tissue encysted parasites to immobilize and damage/kill developing worms. In a one dose (bolus) experimental infection, infected C57Bl/6 mice are unable to clear parasites which results in chronic infection with high worm burdens. However, using a frequent dose trickle model of infection, we, like others, have found that C57Bl/6 mice can clear infection. The nanoString data included here measure the expression of key myeloid genes within the granuloma tissue from bolus and trickle infections. Our results highlight the importance of the granuloma in the host’s ability to clear H. polygyrus and emphasise the need to study this key tissue in more depth, rather than using correlates such as general intestinal or systemic responses.

Genome-wide expression analysis of the effects of a parasitic nematode's secreted exosomes on mammalian cells.

Project description:We show that a gastrointestinal nematode that infects mice, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, secretes vesicles packaged with specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and Y RNAs as well as a nematode-specific Argonaute protein. The vesicles are of intestinal origin and are enriched for homologs of mammalian proteins found in exosomes, including heat shock proteins, tetraspanins and an ESCORT protein. The nematode-derived vesicles are internalized by mouse intestinal epithelial cells and mediate changes in expression of host genes involved in inflammation and immunity, including the receptor for the alarmin IL33 as well as a key regulator of MAPK signaling, DUSP1. A total of 12 samples were analyzed, from 4 different conditions: medium, exosome-treated, LPS and LPS+exosomes, each with 3 biological replicates. One of the 'medium' replicates was discarded due to outlier behaviour.

RNAseq of murine small intestinal organoid cultures treated with Type 1 (IFNg) or Type 2 (IL4+IL13) cytokines in the presence or absence of excretory/secretory (ES) products of the helminth parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus

Project description:Heligmosomoides polygyrus is a natural intestinal parasite of mice which exerts wide ranging modulatory effects on the immune system. This experiment was designed to investigate its abillity to modify intestinal epithelial cells, which form part of its natural niche. We tested gene expression in vitro, in differentiating organoids of small intestinal origin, exposed to cytokines and the released products of the parasite, termed HpES.

Granulomatous response to Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever: Activation of type I interferon-related genes

Project description:The formation of granulomas is associated with the resolution of Q fever, a zoonosis due to Coxiella burnetii; however the molecular mechanisms of granuloma formation remain poorly understood. We generated human granulomas with peripheral blood mononuclear cells and beads coated with C. burnetii, using BCG extracts as controls. A microarray analysis showed dramatic changes in gene expression in granuloma cells compared with peripheral blood mononuclear cells. About 60% of modulated genes were common to C. burnetii and BCG granulomas including M1-related genes. C. burnetii granulomas also expressed a specific transcriptional profile that was essentially enriched in genes associated with type I interferon response (IFI44, IFI44L, IFI6, OAS1, OAS2, OAS3, ISG15, IFIT1, IFITM2, IFITM3, MX1 and MX2). Real-time RT-PCR confirmed that C. burnetii especially increased the expression of interferon-stimulated genes in granulomas generated from controls or Q fever patients. Our results showed that granuloma formation is associated with a core of transcriptional response, but that the granulomatous response to C. burnetii is characterized by the activation of type I interferon-related genes, conferring a new role for type I interferon response in the control of C. burnetii infection. Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were co-cultured with beads coated with Mycobacterium bovis strain Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) extracts or Coxiella burnetii (C.burnetii) extracts for 8 days and PBMC at day 0 were used as controls. For each condition ( unstimulated, BCG and C.burnetii), each microarray is a replicate of the same biological sample.

Neutrophils play a key role in schistosome-induced hepatic granuloma formation

Project description:The severity of schistosome egg-induced hepatic granulomatous pathology depends markedly on the nature of the mammalian host immune response. The local cellular and molecular mechanisms that co-ordinate hepatic granuloma formation during schistosome infection are still poorly understood. We used a combination of laser microdissection microscopy and microarray analysis to further our understanding of fibrogenesis and granuloma formation in C57BL/6 mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. We compared hepatic gene expression profiles in histologically distinct zones both within, and directly proximal to, granulomas during the course of their development.
