Project description:Cryptosporidium infects enterocytes, but their contribution to parasite control is not well understood. Early resistance to Cryptosporidium is dependent on the production of IFN gamma. Loss of STAT1 in enterocytes, but not dendritic cells or macrophages, antagonized early parasite control. Moreover, transcriptional profiling of enterocytes from infected mice revealed the induction of an IFN gamma signature that included multiple genes (IDO, GBP, IRG) associated with control of intracellular pathogens.

Project description:The intestinal parasite, Cryptosporidium, is a major contributor to global child mortality and causes opportunistic infection in immune deficient individuals. Innate resistance to Cryptosporidium, which specifically invades enterocytes, is dependent on the production of IFN-γ, yet whether enterocytes contribute to parasite control is poorly understood. In this study, utilizing a mouse-adapted strain of C. parvum, we show that epithelial-derived IL-18 synergized with IL-12 to stimulate innate lymphoid cell (ILC) production of IFN-γ required for early parasite control. The loss of IFN-γ-mediated STAT1 signaling in enterocytes, but not dendritic cells or macrophages, antagonized early parasite control. Transcriptional profiling of enterocytes from infected mice identified an IFN-γ signature and enrichment of the anti-microbial effectors IDO, GBP, and IRG. Deletion experiments identified a role for Irgm1/m3 in parasite control. Thus, enterocytes promote ILC production of IFN-γ that acts on enterocytes to restrict the growth of Cryptosporidium.

Project description:The production of IFN-γ is crucial for control of multiple enteric infections, but its impact on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) is not well understood. Cryptosporidium parasites exclusively infect epithelial cells and the ability of interferons to activate the transcription factor STAT1 in IEC is required for parasite clearance. Here, the use of single cell RNA sequencing to profile IEC during infection revealed an increased proportion of mid-villus enterocytes during infection and induction of IFN-γ-dependent gene signatures that was comparable between uninfected and infected cells. These analyses were complemented by in vivo studies, which demonstrated that IEC expression of the IFN-γ receptor was required for parasite control. Unexpectedly, treatment of Ifng-/- mice with IFN-γ showed the IEC response to this cytokine correlates with a delayed reduction in parasite burden but did not affect parasite development. These data sets provide insight into the impact of IFN-γ on IEC and suggest a model in which IFN-γ signalling to uninfected enterocytes is important for control of Cryptosporidium.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-γ; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq

Project description:Qi2013 - IL-6 and IFN crosstalk model
This model
[BIOMD0000000544]
describes the crosstalk between IFN-gamma and IL-6 induced
signalling; it aims to outline mechanisms and factors that may
control the interaction between both signalling pathways,
discussing a role of heterodimer formation in signalling
dysfunction.
To account for the possibility of different IFNR and gp130
binding sites for STAT1 and STAT3, model 1
[BIOMD0000000543]
assumes that there is no competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for
the receptor complexes (includes two extra reactions).
The reverse of this is true in model 2
[BIOMD0000000544]
where it generally is assumed that there is competition between
STAT1 and STAT3 for the receptor complexes.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-6
(IL-6) are multifunctional cytokines that regulate immune
responses, cell proliferation, and tumour development and
progression, which frequently have functionally opposing roles.
The cellular responses to both cytokines are activated via the
Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription
(JAK/STAT) pathway. During the past 10 years, the crosstalk
mechanism between the IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways has been
studied widely and several biological hypotheses have been
proposed, but the kinetics and detailed crosstalk mechanism
remain unclear. RESULTS: Using established mathematical models
and new experimental observations of the crosstalk between the
IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways, we constructed a new crosstalk
model that considers three possible crosstalk levels: (1) the
competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for common receptor docking
sites; (2) the mutual negative regulation between SOCS1 and
SOCS3; and (3) the negative regulatory effects of the formation
of STAT1/3 heterodimers. A number of simulations were tested to
explore the consequences of cross-regulation between the two
pathways. The simulation results agreed well with the
experimental data, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness and
correctness of the model. CONCLUSION: In this study, we
developed a crosstalk model of the IFN-gamma and IL-6 pathways
to theoretically investigate their cross-regulation mechanism.
The simulation experiments showed the importance of the three
crosstalk levels between the two pathways. In particular, the
unbalanced competition between STAT1 and STAT3 for IFNR and
gp130 led to preferential activation of IFN-gamma and IL-6,
while at the same time the formation of STAT1/3 heterodimers
enhanced preferential signal transduction by sequestering a
fraction of the activated STATs. The model provided a good
explanation of the experimental observations and provided
insights that may inform further research to facilitate a
better understanding of the cross-regulation mechanism between
the two pathways.

Project description:Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of severe diarrhea and diarrheal-related death in children worldwide. As an obligate intracellular parasite, Cryptosporidium relies on intestinal epithelial cells to provide a niche for its growth and survival, but little is known about the contributions that the infected cell makes to this relationship. Here we conducted a genome wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen to discover host genes required for Cryptosporidium parvum infection and/or host cell survival. The gene enrichment analysis indicated that the host interferon response, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis are important determinants of susceptibility to C. parvum infection. Several of these pathways are linked to parasite attachment and invasion and C-type lectins on the surface of the parasite. Evaluation of transcript and protein induction of innate interferons revealed a pronounced type III interferon response to Cryptosporidium in human cells as well as in mice. Treatment of mice with IFNλ reduced infection burden and protected immunocompromised mice from severe outcomes including death, with effects that STAT1 signaling in the enterocyte. Initiation of this type III interferon response was dependent on sustained intracellular growth and mediated by the pattern recognition receptor TLR3. We conclude that host cell intrinsic recognition of Cryptosporidium results in IFNλ production critical to early protection against this infection.

Project description:In the liver, group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise 10–20% tissue-resident ILC1 cells and 80–90% conventional NK cells. Both cells contribute to early defense against virus infection by secreting IFN-γ. However, the distinct role of ILC1 cells in viral infections remains incompletely understood. Here, we identified that ILC1 cells outnumbered NK cells, constituting 80–90% of group 1 ILCs in the liver during undernutrition. Mechanistically, undernutrition significantly reduced NK cell numbers, while hepatic ILC1 cells entered a quiescent state that allowed them to survive in an mTORC1-dependent manner. Metabolically, quiescent ILC1 cells exhibited greater glucose uptake than NK cells and efficiently utilized it via oxidative phosphorylation, which was induced by mTORC1. Finally, ILC1-deficient mice succumbed to MCMV infection under undernourished conditions, but not when fed ad libitum. These findings suggest a non-redundant function of hepatic ILC1 cells in protecting the host against MCMV infection during undernutrition.
