Lipid droplet proteomics of THP1 macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence suggests the importance of lipid metabolism in pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Neutral lipids form the majority of lipids in caseous granulomas characteristic of tuberculosis. Macrophage lipid droplets form the store house of these lipids, yet infection induced changes in the proteome of these dynamic organelles remains elusive. Here we employed quantitative proteomics to identify alterations induced upon infection with live Mycobacterium tuberculosis in comparison with heat killed bacilli and uninfected macrophages. Association of specific proteins coupled with lysosomal function was found to be increased upon infection with live M. tuberculosis. Biochemical and microscopy based evidence validated the enrichment of the small GTPase Arl8b, the guanine nucleotide effector LAMTOR1, and the scavenger receptor SCARB2 on lipid droplets during live Mtb infection. We validated the localization of Arl8b on lipid droplets using super-resolution microscopy. Increased abundance of these lysosomal proteins on lipid droplets upon infection with live Mtb suggests active manipulation of the host lipid droplets by the pathogen. Furthermore, depletion of lipid droplets upon stable knockdown of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase led to reduction in lysosomal acidification of infected cells, suggesting an active role of lipid droplets in lysosomal function during infection.

Growing evidence suggests the importance of lipid metabolism in pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Neutral lipids form the majority of lipids in a caseous granuloma, a pathology characteristic of tuberculosis. Cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs) of macrophages form the store house of these lipids and have been demonstrated to contribute to the inflammatory response to infection. The proteome of lipid droplets reflects the mechanisms of lipid metabolism active under a condition. However, infection induced ...[more]

Project description:Increasing experimental evidence supports that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved strategies to survive within the lysosomes from activated macrophages, which may represent a reservoir for persistent mycobacteria. To further our knowledge in Mtb response to the lysosomal environment, we profiled the global transcriptional activity of Mtb in a lysosomal in vitro exposure (LivE) model. At inhibitory conditions of lysosomal SF (iLivE), which did not kill but arrested mycobacterial replication thereby mimicking persistence, Mtb expresses a unique transcriptome, where genes involved in general stress response, metabolic reprogramming, cell wall remodeling, respiration, oxidative stress and dormancy response were found to be significantly modulated. Genes encoding for protein families involved in Mtb virulence including ESAT-6, PE-PPE and Mce proteins were also distinctly regulated. Extensive meta-analysis of the Mtb transcriptomes from iLivE and previously reported ex vivo, in vivo and in vitro stress models revealed most significant overlap between iLivE and primary murine macrophage infection model. Our study also highlighted the α-glucan synthesis pathway and a distinct set of toxin-antitoxin systems as toxicity mechanisms that could be exploited as novel antimicrobial approaches for intra-macrophage persistent bacilli. The specificity in responses generated in the LivE model was supported by the significant number of iLivE genes that did not overlap with any of the previously reported in vitro stress models. Finally, to validate the relevance of the LivE model, rv1258c encoding for the efflux pump protein Tap, was selected from the iLivE Mtb transcriptome for further characterization. An Mtb Δrv1258c mutant was constructed and displayed increased susceptibility to killing by lysosomal SF and by the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 found in lysosomes. Furthermore, Δrv1258c Mtb was attenuated in its ability to survive in primary murine macrophages.
