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.

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.

Project description: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. Experiment Overall Design: Expression profiling of ankle tissues of C3H, C57BL/6, and C57BL/6-IL10-/- mice infected with B. burgdorfer (0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-infection)

Project description:Purpose: Studies on gene expression changes in joint and heart tissues of laboratory mice have provided insights into the localized host responses to Borrelia burgdorferi colonization; however, gene expression changes in the CNS of mice during B. burgdorferi infection remain unclear. Therefore, we took an unbiased approach to examine potential changes in the dura mater as well as the brain cortex and hippocampus at day 7 post-infection using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Methods: Dura mater, brain cortex, and hippocampal mRNA profiles of 6-8 week old C3H/HeN mice infected with B. burgdorferi strain 297 or mock infected (n=4 per group) were generated by paired-end sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 4000. The sequence reads were aligned using STAR aligner followed by DESeq2 for differential expression analysis. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: In the dura mater, the presence of B. burgdorferi is associated with upregulation of genes consistent with TLR/NF-κB signalling and associated inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in addition to upregulation of interferon stimulated genes. In contrast, the brain parenchyma exhibits mainly an increase in interferon stimulated genes in response to B. burgdorferi infection without an associated cytokine response. Conclusion: Overall, the findings reported in this study are significant, as the lack of a tractable animal model has hindered our understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the CNS. Our results describe a model system that will allow for future studies evaluating the bacterial, host, and environmental factors that can contribute to the severity of CNS involvement during B. burgdorferi infection, as well as evaluating potential novel prophylactic and therapeutic interventions for this important disease.

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.

Project description:We previously utilized interval-specific congenic lines derived from C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) alleles to fine map a quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing methamphetamine (MA)- induced locomotor activity. We identified a 0.23 MB critical interval on chromosome 11 containing only two protein coding genes, Rufy1 and Hnrnph1. Notably, Rufy1 contains three missense SNPs and Hnrnph1 contains 1 SNP near the 5’ UTR. In an effort to identify the molecular mechanisms that bridge genetic variation with behavior, we conducted transcriptome analysis via mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in a B6.D2 congenic line (chr.11: 50-60 Mb) that captures the QTL. There was an overrepresentation of cis-regulated, differentially expressed genes within the congenic interval (4 out of 92 differentially expressed genes; FDR < 0.05) and widespread genomic regulation on all autosomes.

Project description:Background and Aims: In the interleukin-10-deficient (Il10-/-) mouse model of IBD, 10 quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been shown to be associated with colitis susceptibility by linkage analyses on experimental crosses of highly susceptible C3H/HeJBir (C3Bir)-Il10-/- and partially resistant C57BL/6J (B6)-Il10-/- mice. The strongest locus (C3Bir-derived cytokine deficiency-induced colitis susceptibility [Cdcs]1 on Chromosome [Chr] 3) controlled multiple colitogenic subphenotypes and contributed the vast majority to the phenotypic variance in cecum and colon. This was demonstrated by interval-specific Chr 3 congenic mice wherein defined regions of Cdcs1 from C3Bir or B6 were bred into the IL-10-deficient reciprocal background and altered the susceptible or resistant phenotype. Furthermore, this locus likely acts by inducing innate hypo- and adaptive hyperresponsiveness, associated with impaired NFΚB responses of macrophages. The aim of the present study was to dissect the complexity of Cdcs1 by further development and characterization of reciprocal Cdcs1 congenic strains and to identify potential candidate genes in the congenic interval. Material and Methods: In total, 15 reciprocal congenic strains were generated from Il10-/- mice of either C3H/HeJBir or C57BL/6J backgrounds by 10 cycles of backcrossing. Colitis activity was monitored by histological grading. Candidate genes were identified by fine mapping of congenic intervals, sequencing, microarray analysis and a high-throughput real-time RT-PCR approach using bone marrow-derived macrophages. Results: Within the originally identified Cdcs1-interval, three independent regions were detected that likely contain susceptibility-determining genetic factors (Cdcs1.1, Cdcs1.2, and Cdcs1.3). Combining results of candidate gene approaches revealed Fcgr1, Cnn3, Larp7, and Alpk1 as highly attractive candidate genes with polymorphisms in coding or regulatory regions and expression differences between susceptible and resistant mouse strains. Conclusions: Subcongenic analysis of the major susceptibility locus Cdcs1 on mouse chromosome 3 revealed a complex genetic structure. Candidate gene approaches revealed attractive genes within the identified regions with homologs that are located in human susceptibility regions for IBD.
