Project description:We performed gene expression microarray experiments to compare the global transcriptional response induced by b-glucans and LPS with their secretomes. We identified 1683, 767 and 1447 genes with over two-fold increase or decrease in LPS-, curdlan- or GBY-stimulated macrophages, respectively. We show that both LPS and b-glucan induces significant gene expression changes in macrophages, but only b-glucans activate a robust protein secretion. The gene expression of human primary macrophage cells was measured at 6 hours after exposure the cells to 1 M-BM-5g LPS or 10 M-BM-5g Curdlan or 100 M-BM-5g GBY (glucan from bakerM-BM-4s yeast), also 0-group was included. Three independent experiments were performed using three different donors for each experiment.

Project description:Acanthamoeba castellanii (Ac) and macrophages share structural, morphological, physiological and biochemical similarities, including the ability to phagocyte a myriad of microorganisms in the environments they live. Whereas there is voluminous information on phagocytic receptors of macrophages, for Ac, the understanding of how the recognition of extracellular microorganisms works still awaits elucidation. Recently, our group described mannose-binding proteins expressed on the surface of the trophozoites. However, as soluble mannose did not inhibit entirely the process, other interactions might be possible. In the present work, we aimed to characterize the potential Ac proteins able to recognize the polysaccharide β-1,3-glucan on fungal surfaces. Our data demonstrate that Ac could bind curdlan or laminarin on its surface as detected by Dectin-1-Fc and fluorescent conjugate, suggesting the presence of β-1,3-glucan binding molecules. Optical tweezers detected higher adhesion affinity of laminarin or curdlan coated beads to A. castellanii (characteristic time of 46.9 s and 43.9 s, respectively) in comparison control beads (BSA or dextran-coated). In agreement, a H. capsulatum (Hc) G217B having β-1,3-glucan as the most external layer strongly adhered to Ac (characteristic time of 5.3 s), whereas Hc G186A, an α-1,3-glucan expressing strain, displayed much lower adhesion forces (characteristic time of 83.6 s). The specificity of our system was confirmed with addition of soluble β-1,3-glucan, which inhibited dramatically the adhesion of Hc G217B to Ac (characteristic time of 38,5 s). By indirect ELISA, the biotinylated extract of Ac showed higher binding to Hc G217B surface than Hc G186A, as similar results were observed when using Dectin-1-Fc. By interaction assays, association rates to Ac and RAW macrophages were twice higher for Hc G217B when compared to Hc G186A. Inhibitions with mannose, or its combinations with curdlan or laminarin demonstrated inhibitions higher than 50% during Ac and Hc G217B interaction. For RAW macrophages, the combinations mannose + laminarin and mannose + curdlan had inhibition of 64.4% and 51.5%, respectively, in the interaction with Hc G217B. The killing assay show that for A. castellanii, there was a decrease in the number of viable fungi when either laminarin and curdlan were added, which is similar to results observed with macrophages, suggesting the participation of this receptor for fungal entrance and survival within phagocytes. Proteomics identified several proteins with the capacity to bind β-1,3-glucans, including a membrane integral component (L8HDD6) displaying a legume lectin domain and also belonging to the Concanavalin A-like lectin/glucanase domain superfamily. By the demonstrated binding specificity of this receptor, our data reinforce other pathways of fungal recognition and suggests to a possible parallel or even divergent evolution, between A. castellanii and macrophages.

Project description:β-glucans, which can activate innate immune responses, are a major component in the cell wall of the cyst form of Pneumocystis. In the current study we examined whether β-1,3 glucans are masked by surface proteins in Pneumocystis, and what role β-glucans play in Pneumocystis-associated inflammation. For 3 species, including P. jirovecii, which causes Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in humans, P. carinii, and P. murina, β-1,3 glucans were masked in most organisms, as demonstrated by increased exposure following trypsin treatment. Using Q-PCR and microarray techniques, we demonstrated in a mouse model of PCP that treatment with caspofungin, an inhibitor of β-1,3 glucan synthesis, for 21 days, decreased expression of a broad panel of inflammatory markers, including IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and multiple chemokines/chemokine ligands. Thus, β-glucans in Pneumocystis cysts are largely masked, which likely decreases innate immune activation; this mechanism presumably was developed for interactions with immunocompetent hosts, in whom organism loads are substantially lower. In immunosuppressed hosts with a high organism burden, organism death and release of glucans appears to be an important contributor to deleterious host inflammatory responses.

Project description:MicroRNAs regulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) target genes that contribute to the inflammatory phenotype. Here we showed that the protein kinase Akt1, which is activated by LPS, positively regulated miRNAs let-7e, miR-181c but negatively regulated miR-155 and miR-125b. In silico analyses and transfection studies revealed that let-7e repressed Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) whereas miR-155 repressed SOCS1, two proteins critical for LPS-driven TLR signalling, which regulate endotoxin sensitivity and tolerance. As a result, Akt1-/- macrophages exhibited increased responsiveness to LPS in culture and Akt1-/- mice did not develop endotoxin tolerance in vivo. Overexpression of let-7e and suppression of miR-155 in Akt1-/- macrophages restored sensitivity and tolerance to LPS in culture and in animals. These results indicate that Akt1 regulates the response of macrophages to LPS by controlling miRNA expression. The data deposited here contain the entire analysis of miRNA profile of Akt1+/+ and Akt1-/- thioglycollate elicited peritoneal macrophages following stimulation with LPS for 3 hours in culture. Thioglycollate elicited macrophages were cultured in complete DMEM medium, stimulated with LPS for 3 hours and RNA was extracted. Samples were analyzed using Taq-man PCR miRNA arrays (Dana Farber microarray Facility).

Project description:The cell wall is a structure involved in important stages of fungal growth and morphogenesis. Several studies in the literature have shown how perturbations at the cell wall-level trigger dramatic effects on growth (e.g. Horiuchi, 2009). Despite the importance of fungal cell walls and despite the great advances made in the field, there are still missing pieces in our understanding of cell wall dynamics in filamentous fungi. Some cell wall biosynthetic genes, for example, are still uncharacterized (for a detailed inventory of Aspergillus nidulans cell wall-related genes, see de Groot et al., 2009). The chief polysaccharides in the cell wall of the model organism A. nidulans are β-glucans (β-1,3-, β-(1,3;1,4)- and β-1,6-glucans), chitin and α-1,3-glucans. While much is known about the chitin and α-1,3-glucan biosynthetic genes in A. nidulans (Horiuchi et al., 1999; Fujiwara et al., 2000; Ichinomiya et al., 2002 and 2005; Takeshita et al., 2006; Yoshimi et al., 2013), no characterization is yet available for the celA gene (ANIA_08444) encoding a putative mixed-linkage glucan synthase (de Groot et al., 2009). Recently, a study on A. fumigatus has characterized Tft1, an enzyme shown to be responsible for the production of β-(1,3;1,4)-glucans in this organism (Samar et al., 2015). Deletion of Tft1 causes no obvious phenotype in A. fumigatus and a modest increase in virulence. To characterize the role of β-(1,3;1,4)-glucans in the growth and development of filamentous fungi, we here sought to provide transcriptomics data of an A. nidulans strain showing reduced expression of the gene encoding the putative mixed linkage glucan synthase celA.

Project description:Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/immunue complex (IC) stimulated macrophages produce cytokine profiles that differe from LPS-stimulated inflammatory macropahges. Notch signaling is activated in LPS/IC-stimulated macrophages and inhibition of Notch signaling reduced IL-10 production. This study investigated the effect of gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) that suppresses Notch signaling pathway, on gene expression profiles in macrophages activated by LPS/IC.

Project description:Fungal beta-glucans are major drivers of trained immunity which increases long-term protection against secondary infections. Heterogeneity in beta-glucan source, structure and solubility alters interaction with the phagocytic receptor Dectin-1 and could impact strategies to improve trained immunity in humans. Using a panel of diverse beta-glucans we describe the ability of a specific yeast-derived whole-glucan particle (WGP) to reprogramme metabolism and thereby drive trained immunity in human monocyte-derived macrophages in-vitro and mice bone-marrow in-vivo. Presentation of pure, non-soluble, non-aggregated WGPs led to the formation of the Dectin-1 phagocytic synapse with subsequent lysosomal mTOR activation, metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic rewiring. Intraperitoneal or oral administration of WGP drove bone-marrow myelopoiesis and improved mature macrophage responses, pointing to therapeutic and food-based strategies to drive immune training. Thus, the investment of a cell in a trained response relies on specific recognition of beta-glucans presented on intact microbial particles through stimulation of the Dectin-1 phagocytic response.
