Project description:While the Bacille-Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis, it also offers protection against a diverse range of non-mycobacterial infections. However, the underlying protective mechanisms in humans are not yet fully understood. Here, we surveyed at single-cell resolution the gene expression and chromatin landscape of human bone marrow, aspirated before and 90 days after BCG vaccination or placebo administration. We show that BCG vaccination significantly alters both the gene expression and epigenetic profiles of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Changes in gene expression occur primarily on the most uncommitted stem cells and are reflective of a persistent myeloid bias. In contrast, BCG-induced changes in chromatin accessibility are most prevalent within differentiated progenitor cells at sites influenced by Kruppel-like factor (KLF)/SP and EGR transcription factors (TFs). These TFs are also activated in the most uncommitted stem cells, indicating that activated TFs, which drive persistent changes in HSC gene expression, likely also drive chromatin dynamics appearing within downstream progenitor cells. This perspective contests the prevailing notion that epigenetic modifications linked to innate immune memory transfer directly from stem cells to their differentiated derivatives. Finally, we show that alterations in gene expression and chromatin accessibility in HSPCs due to BCG vaccination were highly correlated (r>0.8) with the IL-1β secretion capacity of paired PBMCs upon secondary immune challenge. Overall, our findings shed light on BCG vaccination's profound and lasting effects on HSPCs and its influence on innate immune responses.

Project description:Induction of trained immunity by human Bacille-Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is implicated in the beneficial heterologous effects of the vaccine, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We performed global transcriptome analysis of sorted progenitors from bone marrow before (D0) and 90 days after vaccination (D90). BCG vaccination induced transcriptomic myeloid priming of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) compartment marked by the upregulation of myeloid and granulocytic pathways alongside the induction of transcription factors connected to myeloid cell function, namely Hepatocyte Nuclear Factors (HNF). These findings are corroborated by higher granulocyte numbers in BCG-vaccinated infants, HNF1-related SNP variants correlating with immune training and elevated serum levels of the HNF1 target gene SERPINA1. Taken together, we reveal a transcriptomic reprograming of HSPCs and peripheral monocytes as a trait of in vivo BCG-induced trained immunity.

Project description:The century-old Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Despite this, there is still a lot to learn about the immune response induced by BCG, both in terms of phenotype and specificity. Here, we investigated the BCG-specific gene expression changes induced in PBMCs and CD4 memory T cells by BCG in individuals pre- and 8m post vaccination. We also determined whether reactivity against a peptide pool defined in individuals with controlled latent TB infection (MTB300), and with peptides homologous to peptides found in BCG, was boosted following BCG vaccination.

Project description:Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination might contribute to nonspecific enhancement of resistance to various infections. Thus, BCG in addition to the formation of specific immunity against mycobacteria is also capable of inducing “trained immunity” - the ability of the innate immune system to maintain the memory of past infections and use it to develop immune defenses against new ones. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing of innate immune cells derived from mice bone marrow and spleen three day after subcutaneous BCG vaccination to evaluate early transcriptomic response of innate immune cells

Project description:The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine administration studies in human adults determined that BCG-mediated mechanisms of protection include epigenetic reprogramming of innate immune cells and heterologous T cell immunity. The current study aimed to confirm that BCG immunization similarly impacts the functionally distinct infant immune system. Towards this goal, we applied RNA sequencing to assess molecular changes in circulating monocytes and CD4+ T cells of Malawian infants prior to and 2 to 13 weeks after BCG immunization. We identified 168 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 14 upregulated and 152 downregulated, in monocytes after BCG vaccination. The upregulated monocyte DEGs were enriched in genes associated with metabolic pathways, in particular glycolysis and lipid metabolism. In CD4 T cells, 322 DEGs (95 upregulated and 226 downregulated) were identified after BCG vaccination, and these DEGs were representative of activation, proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival. These findings are consistent with data reported in BCG vaccinated adults and contribute to the understanding of molecular changes in monocytes and CD4 T cells that may explain the improved capacity of the infant immune system to respond to pathogens after BCG vaccination.

Project description:Vaccination against tuberculosis by intradermal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) injection saves many lives, supposedly by inducing adaptive immune memory in lymphocytes. Epidemiologically, BCG vaccination is also associated with reduced childhood mortality unrelated to TB, which is attributed to innate immune memory, also termed trained immunity. We recently demonstrated improved protection against tuberculosis infection in highly susceptible rhesus macaques by mucosal BCG vaccination, correlating with a unique local but no peripheral immune profile. Here, we investigated local and peripheral innate immune function after intradermal versus mucosal vaccination with M. bovis BCG or the live attenuated, M. tuberculosis-derived candidate, MTBVAC. The results demonstrate an augmented frequency of trained immunity in monocytes after respiratory mucosal administration of live attenuated mycobacterial vaccines compared to intradermal immunization, with MTBVAC being equally potent as BCG. These results provide further support to strategies for improving TB vaccination and, more broadly, modulating innate immunity via mucosal surfaces.
