Coating and corruption of human neutrophils by bacterial outer membrane vesicles

ABSTRACT: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone oral pathogen that successfully manipulates the human innate immune defenses, resulting in a chronic pro-inflammatory state of periodontal tissues and beyond. Here we demonstrate that secreted outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are deployed by P. gingivalis to selectively coat and activate human neutrophils, thereby provoking degranulation without neutrophil killing. Secreted granule components with antibacterial activity, especially LL-37 and MPO, are subsequently degraded by potent OMV-bound proteases known as gingipains, thereby ensuring bacterial survival. In contrast to neutrophils, the P. gingivalis OMVs are efficiently internalized by macrophages and epithelial cells. Importantly, we show that neutrophil coating is a conserved feature displayed by OMVs of at least one other oral pathogen, namely Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Altogether, we conclude that P. gingivalis deploys its OMVs for a neutrophil-deceptive strategy to escape phagocytosis and to create a favorable inflammatory niche.

Neutrophil-derived reactive agents induce a transient SpeB negative phenotype in Streptococcus pyogenes

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci; GAS) is the main causative pathogen of monomicrobial necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs). To resist immuno-clearance, GAS adapt their genetic information and/or phenotype to the surrounding environment. Hyper-virulent streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B (SpeB) negative variants caused by covRS mutations are enriched during infection. A key driving force for this process is the bacterial Sda1 DNase. Here, we identify another strategy resulting in SpeB-negative variants, namely reversible abrogation of SpeB secretion triggered by neutrophil effector molecules. Analysis of NSTI patient tissue biopsies revealed that tissue inflammation, neutrophil influx, and degranulation positively correlate with increasing frequency of SpeB-negative GAS clones. Using single colony proteomics, we show that GAS isolated directly from tissue express but do not secrete SpeB. Once the tissue pressure is lifted, GAS regain SpeB secreting function. Neutrophils were identified as the main immune cells responsible for the observed phenotype. Subsequent analyses identified hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid as reactive agents driving this phenotypic GAS adaptation to the tissue environment. SpeB-negative GAS show improved survival within neutrophils and induce increased degranulation. Our findings provide new information about GAS fitness and heterogeneity in the soft tissue milieu and provide new potential targets for therapeutic intervention in NSTIs.

Porphyromonas gingivalis outer membrane vesicles promote apoptosis via msRNA-regulated DNA methylation in periodontitis

Project description:The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) contain a variety of bioactive molecules that may be involved in the progression of periodontitis. However, the participation of P. gingivalis OMVs in the development of periodontitis has not been elucidated. Here we isolated P. gingivalis OMVs and confirmed their participation in periodontitis both in vivo and in vitro. Microcomputed Tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis showed that under the stimulation of P. gingivalis OMVs, the alveolar bone of rats was significantly resorbed in vivo. We found that P. gingivalis OMVs were taken up by hPDLCs (human Periodontal Ligament Cells, hPDLCs) in vitro, then subsequently resulting in apoptosis and inflammatory cytokines releasing which was accomplished by the microRNA-size small RNAs (msRNAs) sRNA45033 in the P. gingivalis OMVs. Through bioinformatics analysis and screening of target genes, Chromobox 5 (CBX5) was identified as the downstream target of screened-out small RNA s45033. Using dual-luciferase reporter assay, overexpression, and knockdown methods, s45033 was confirmed to target CBX5 to regulate hPDLCs apoptosis. In addition, Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (Cut&Tag) analysis confirmed the mechanism that CBX5 regulates apoptosis through the methylation of p53 DNA. Collectively, these findings indicate that the role of P. gingivalis OMVs is immunologically relevant and related to bacterial virulence in the development of periodontitis.

The Extracellular Proteome and Citrullinome of the Oral Pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis

Project description:Porphyrmonas gingivalis is an oral pathogen associated with the inflammatory disease periodontitis. The colonization of oral epithelial surfaces by P. gingivalis may also lead to the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis. One of the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis is the loss of tolerance against citrullinated proteins. Citrullination is a post-translational modification of arginine residues, leading to a change in structure and function of the respective protein. This modification is catalysed by peptidylarginine deiminases (PAD). Interestingly, P. gingivalis secretes a citrullinating enzyme, known as P. gingivalis PAD (PPAD), which targets bacterial and human proteins. Since the extent of P. gingivalis protein citrullination by PPAD was not yet known, the present study was aimed at identifying the extracellular proteome and citrullinome of P. gingivalis. To this end, extracellular proteins of two reference strains, two PPAD-deficient mutants and three clinical isolates of P. gingivalis were analysed by mass spectrometry. The results uncovered substantial heterogeneity in the extracellular proteome and citrullinome of P. gingivalis, especially in relation to the extracellular detection of typical cytoplasmic proteins. In contrast, major virulence factors were identified in all investigated isolates although their citrullination was shown to vary. This may be related to post-translational processing of the PPAD enzyme.

Oral Pathogen ‘Neutralizes’ the Human Innate Immune Defence

Project description:Our present findings show for the first time that the virulence factor PPAD protects the oral pathogen P. gingivalis against neutrophil insults at three distinct levels, namely phagocytosis, NETosis and CAMP activity. This identifies PPAD as a major agent in the evasion of human innate immunity, a view that is supported by studies from Potempa and co-workers showing PPAD-dependent citrullination of complement.

Porphyromonas gingivalis Outer Membrane Vesicle and cell Proteome in heme excess and heme limited

Project description:Porphyromonas gingivalis is an anaerobic, Gram-negative oral pathogen associated with chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis has an obligate requirement for heme which it obtains from the host. Heme availability has been linked to disease initiation and progression. In this study we used continuous culture of the bacterium to determine the effect of heme limitation and excess on the P. gingivalis proteome. Four biological replicates of whole cell lysate (WCL) and outer membrane vesicle (OMV) samples were digested with trypsin and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry and MaxQuant label-free quantification. In total, 1211 proteins were quantified with 108 and 49 proteins significantly changing in abundance more than 1.5-fold (p<0.05) in the WCLs and OMVs respectively. The proteins most upregulated in response to heme limitation were those involved in binding and transporting heme while the four proteins most upregulated in the heme excess condition constitute a putative heme efflux system. In general, the protein abundance ratios obtained for OMVs and WCLs agreed, indicating that changes to the OM protein composition are passed on to OMVs, however 16 proteins were preferentially packaged into OMVs in one condition more than the other. In particular, moonlighting cytoplasmic proteins were preferentially associated with OMVs under heme excess.

¬The EGFR/ErbB inhibitor neratinib promotes apoptosis and clearance by airway macrophages

Project description:Dysregulated neutrophilic inflammation can be highly destructive in chronic inflammatory diseases due to prolonged neutrophil lifespan and continual release of histotoxic mediators in inflamed tissues. Inducing neutrophil apoptosis, an immunologically silent form of cell death, may be beneficial in these diseases, provided that the apoptotic neutrophils are efficiently cleared from the tissue. Our previous research identified ErbB inhibitors as able to induce neutrophil apoptosis and reduce neutrophilic inflammation both in vitro and in vivo (Rahman et al. 2019). Here we expand on that work using a clinical ErbB inhibitor, neratinib, which has the potential to be repurposed in inflammatory diseases. We show that neratinib reduces neutrophilic migration to an inflammatory site in zebrafish larvae. Neratinib upregulates efferocytosis and reduces the number of dead neutrophils in mouse models of acute, but not chronic, lung injury, suggesting the drug may have therapeutic benefits in acute inflammatory settings. Phosphoproteomics analysis of human neutrophils shows that neratinib modifies the phosphorylation of proteins regulating apoptosis, migration and efferocytosis. This work identifies a potential efficacious mechanism for neratinib in acute lung inflammation by upregulating the clearance of dead neutrophils, and examination of the neutrophil phosphoproteome gives insight into the mechanisms by which this may be occurring.

ATF3 is a novel regulator of mouse neutrophil migration.

Project description:Expression of the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) gene is induced by Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. In turn, ATF3 protein inhibits the expression of various TLR-driven pro-inflammatory genes. Given its counter-regulatory role in diverse innate immune responses, we defined the effects of ATF3 on neutrophilic airway inflammation in mice. ATF3 deletion was associated with increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-driven airway epithelia production of CXCL1, but not CXCL2, findings concordant with a consensus ATF3-binding site identified solely in the Cxcl1 promoter. Unexpectedly, ATF3-deficient mice did not exhibit increased airway neutrophilia after LPS challenge. Bone marrow chimeras revealed a specific reduction in ATF3-/- neutrophil recruitment to wild type lungs. In vitro, ATF3-/- neutrophils exhibited a profound chemotaxis defect. Global gene expression analysis identified ablated Tiam2 expression in ATF3-/- neutrophils. TIAM2 regulates cellular motility by activating Rac1-mediated focal adhesion disassembly. Notably, ATF3-/- and ATF3-sufficient TIAM2 knockdown neutrophils, both lacking TIAM2, exhibited increased focal complex area, along with excessive CD11b-mediated F-actin polymerization. Together, our data describe a dichotomous role for ATF3-mediated regulation of neutrophilic responses: inhibition of neutrophil chemokine production, but promotion of neutrophil chemotaxis. Ly6G+ neutrophils were purified by magnetic beads from WT or ATF3 KO bone marrow and RNA was immediately isolated for global gene expression using microarrays.

Global changes in human neutrophil transcriptome profile during Filifactor alocis challenge

Project description:Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory infectious disease with a high prevalence in the adult population in the USA. Until recently, research into periodontitis focused primarily on putative pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. However, a reappraisal of microbial etiology has marked a turning point in the field due to the development of culture-independent techniques that allow the identification of bacterial species directly from nucleic acids. Filifactor alocis, a Gram positive anaerobic oral bacterium, has emerged as an important periodontal pathogen. Neutrophils are recruited in high numbers to the gingival tissue, where they are linked with protection against periodontal disease. However, periodontal pathogens evolved different strategies to resist neutrophil microbicidal mechanisms while propagating inflammation, which affords a source of nutrients. The goal of this study was to determine the global changes in human neutrophil gene expression induced by F. alocis challenge. RNA-sequencing analysis shows that F. alocis-challenge alters human neutrophil transcriptome including expression of genes associated with regulation of Toll-Like Receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, apoptosis, cytokines and chemokines, among other neutrophil effector functions.
