BMC Med Genomics 2023; 16:214. [PMID: 37684607 PMCID: PMC10492340 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-023-01646-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) are most potent antigen-processing cells and play key roles in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. In this study, hub genes in DCs during MTB infection were first investigated using bioinformatics approaches and further validated in Monocyte-derived DCs. METHODS Microarray datasets were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Principal component analysis (PCA) and immune infiltration analysis were performed to select suitable samples for further analysis. Differential analysis and functional enrichment analysis were conducted on DC samples, comparing live MTB-infected and non-infected (NI) groups. The CytoHubba plugin in Cytoscape was used to identify hub genes from the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The expression of the hub genes was validated using two datasets and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in human monocyte-derived DCs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to validate interferon (IFN) secretion. Transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) that interact with the hub genes were predicted using prediction databases. The diagnostic value of the hub genes was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) values. RESULTS A total of 1835 common DEGs among three comparison groups (18 h, 48 h, 72 h after MTB infection) were identified. Six DEGs (IFIT1, IFIT2, IFIT3, ISG15, MX1, and RSAD2) were determined as hub genes. Functions enrichment analysis revealed that all hub genes all related to IFN response. RT-qPCR showed that the expression levels of six hub genes were significantly increased after DC stimulated by live MTB. According to the results of ELISA, the secretion of IFN-γ, but not IFN-α/β, was upregulated in MTB-stimulated DCs. AUC values of six hub genes ranged from 84 to 94% and AUC values of 5 joint indicators of two hub genes were higher than the two hub genes alone. CONCLUSION The study identified 6 hub genes associated with IFN response pathway. These genes may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers in tuberculosis (TB). The findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the host immune response to MTB infection and highlight the diagnostic potential of these hub genes in TB.

Abstract
The protein ISG15 encoded by interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) 15 is the first identified member of the ubiquitin-like protein family and exists in the form of monomers and conjugated complexes. Like ubiquitin, ISG15 can mediate an ubiquitin-like modification by covalently modifying other proteins, known as ISGylation. There is growing evidence showing that both the free and conjugated ISG15 are involved in multiple key cellular processes, including autophagy, exosome secretion, DNA repair, immune regulation, and cancer occurrence and progression. In this review, we aim to further clarify the function of ISG15 and ISGylation in cancer, demonstrate the important relationship between ISG15/ISGylation and cancer, and emphasize new insights into the different roles of ISG15/ISGylation in cancer progression. This review may contribute to therapeutic intervention in cancer. However, due to the limitations of current research, the regulation of ISG15/ISGylation on cancer progression is not completely clear, thus further comprehensive and sufficient correlation studies are still needed.

Overexpression of IFIT1 protects against LPS-induced acute lung injury via regulating CCL5-p65NF-κB signaling. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 114:109485. [PMID: 36446235 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is featured by intensive inflammatory responses causing significant morbidity and mortality. Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1), induced by interferon (IFN), has been discovered to modulate viral infection and cell apoptosis and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, it's role and mechanism in ALI remain unclear and need to be explored furtherly. Here, we discovered that IFIT1 decreased the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in mouse-derived macrophage cells (MH-S) and alleviated apoptosis of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) induced by MH-S cell supernatant, contributing to anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, RNA sequencing analysis (RNA-seq) showed that inflammatory chemokine CC motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) partially eliminated the protective effects of IFIT1 and promoted the expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 by CCL5-p65NF-κB signaling pathway. This study demonstrated that IFIT1 attenuated ALI-associated inflammation and cell apoptosis by regulating the CCL5-p65NF-κB signaling pathway. These findings are of great significance for the treatment of lung injury.

Abstract
Noncoding RNAs regulate the process of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infecting the host, but there is no simultaneous transcriptional information of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) and the global regulatory networks of non-coding RNA. Rv1759c, a virulence factor, is a member of protein family containing the proline-glutamic acid (PE) in M. tb, which can increase M. tb survival. To reveal the noncoding RNA regulatory networks and the effect of Rv1759c on non-coding RNA expression during M. tb infection, we collected samples of H37Rv- and H37Rv△1759c-infected macrophages and explored the full transcriptome expression profile. We found 356 mRNAs, 433 lncRNAs, 168 circRNAs, and 12 miRNAs differentially expressed during H37Rv infection, 356 mRNAs, 433 lncRNAs, 168 circRNAs, and 12 miRNAs differentially expressed during H37Rv△1759c infection. We constructed lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks during H37Rv and H37Rv△1759c infection. We demonstrated the role of one of the hubs of the networks, hsa-miR-181b-3p, for H37Rv survival in macrophages. We discovered that the expression changes of 68 mRNAs, 92 lncRNAs, 26 circRNAs, and 3 miRNAs were only related to the deletion of Rv1759c by comparing the transcription profiles of H37Rv and H37Rv△1759c. Here, our study comprehensively characterizes the transcriptional profiles in THP1-derived-macrophages infected with H37Rv and H37Rv△1759c, which provides support and new directions for in-depth exploration of noncoding RNA and PE/PPE family functions during the infection process.

Abstract
One of the hallmarks of antiviral responses to infection is the production of interferons and subsequently of interferon stimulated genes. Interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is among the earliest and most abundant proteins induced upon interferon signalling, encompassing versatile functions in host immunity. ISG15 is a ubiquitin like modifier that can be conjugated to substrates in a process analogous to ubiquitylation and referred to as ISGylation. The free unconjugated form can either exist intracellularly or be secreted to function as a cytokine. Interestingly, ISG15 has been reported to be both advantageous and detrimental to the development of immunopathology during infection. This review describes recent findings on the role of ISG15 in antiviral responses in human infection models, with a particular emphasis on autophagy, inflammatory responses and cellular metabolism combined with viral strategies of counteracting them. The field of ISGylation has steadily gained momentum; however much of the previous studies of virus infections conducted in mouse models are in sharp contrast with recent findings in human cells, underscoring the need to summarise our current understanding of its potential antiviral function in humans and identify knowledge gaps which need to be addressed in future studies.

[PMID: 36465909 PMCID: PMC9710536 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.959388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 07/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) remains incompletely understood. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification, the most abundant internal transcript modification, has close associations with multiple diseases. This study aimed to investigate the role of m6A in patients with pSS. Materials and methods This study enrolled 44 patients with pSS, 50 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs), and 11 age- and gender-matched patients with non-SS sicca. We detected the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of m6A elements (including METTL3, WTAP, RBM15, ALKBH5, FTO, YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2), ISG15, and USP18 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with pSS, patients with non-SS sicca, and HCs. The clinical characteristics and laboratory findings of patients with pSS and patients with non-SS sicca were also collected. We used binary logistic regression to determine if m6A elements were risk factors for pSS. Results The mRNA levels of m6A writers (METTL3 and RBM15), erasers (ALKBH5 and FTO), and readers (YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2) were all significantly higher in PBMCs from patients with pSS than in HCs. The mRNA levels of m6A writers (METTL3 and WTAP) and readers (YTHDF2, YTHDF3, and YTHDC2) were lower in PBMCs from patients with pSS compared to patients with non-SS sicca. The expression of METTL3, RBM15, FTO, YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 was positively correlated with the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) of patients with pSS. The mRNA level of YTHDF1 in PBMCs from patients with pSS was negatively correlated with the EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) score. In patients with pSS, FTO, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 were also related to white blood cells (WBCs), neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Increased mRNA level of ALKBH5 in PBMCs was a risk factor for pSS, as determined by binary logistic regression analysis. The mRNA level of ISG15 was positively correlated with that of FTO, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, and YTHDC2 in patients with pSS. Conclusion Compared with HCs, the expression of METTL3, RBM15, ALKBH5, FTO, YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 was considerably higher in PBMCs from patients with pSS. In comparison with patients with non-SS sicca, the expression of METTL3, WTAP, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, and YTHDC2 was reduced in PBMCs from patients with pSS. The m6A elements correlating with clinical variables may indicate the disease activity and inflammation status of pSS. Elevated expression of ALKBH5 was a risk factor for pSS. The dynamic process of m6A modification is active in pSS. m6A elements (FTO, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, or YTHDC2) might target ISG15, stimulate the expression of ISG15, and activate the type I IFN signaling pathway, playing an active role in initiating the autoimmunity in pSS.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized lipid particles released by virtually every living cell. EVs carry bioactive molecules, shuttle from cells to cells and transduce signals, regulating cell growth and metabolism. Pathogenic bacteria can cause serious infections via a wide range of strategies, and host immune systems also develop extremely complex adaptations to counteract bacterial infections. As notable carriers, EVs take part in the interaction between the host and bacteria in several approaches. For host cells, several strategies have been developed to resist bacteria via EVs, including expelling damaged membranes and bacteria, neutralizing toxins, triggering innate immune responses and provoking adaptive immune responses in nearly the whole body. For bacteria, EVs function as vehicles to deliver toxins and contribute to immune escape. Due to their crucial functions, EVs have great application potential in vaccines, diagnosis and treatments. In the present review, we highlight the most recent advances, application potential and remaining challenges in understanding EVs in the interaction between the host and bacteria.

Abstract
ISG15 encoded by a type I interferon (IFN) inducible gene mediates an important cellular process called ISGylation. ISGylation emerges as a powerful host tactic against intracellular pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, the exact role of ISGylation in immunity remains elusive. To shed light on how ISGylation, which is both interesting and complex, participates in immunity against Mtb, this manuscript summarized the current knowledge about the structural characteristics and targets of ISG15 and how ISGylation cross-talks with other host post-translational modifications to exert its effect.

Methods Through gene difference analysis, construction of a protein interaction network and tissue specific analysis and other bioinformatics analysis methods, we found out the relatively high expression of important substances in the central nervous system, interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1. Subsequently, the lesion tissue and the resection margin tissue away from the lesion were collected from the 6 cases of central nervous system tuberculosis patients diagnosed from 2019 to 2020, and the pathological manifestations were observed by Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, and the expression of IFIT1 was verified by immunohistochemistry. Results A total of 101 differential genes were analyzed between extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients and normal people, and they were mainly enriched in the interferon pathway. The protein interaction network unearthed 34 key genes. Through tissue specific analysis, it was found that IFIT1 is relatively high in the central nervous system. H&E staining showed the expression of multinucleated macrophages, and immunohistochemistry showed that IFIT1 was significantly positively expressed in the lesion tissue. Conclusion IFIT1 is an important substance involved in central nervous system tuberculosis.

Abstract
The nano-sized membrane enclosed extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by virtually all cell types play an essential role in intercellular communication via delivering bio-molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and other molecules to recipient cells. By mediating an active and steady-state cell-to-cell communication, EVs contribute to regulating and preserving cellular homeostasis. On the other hand, EVs can also spread pathogen-derived molecules during infections, subverting the host immune responses during infections and thus worsening pathophysiological processes. In recent years, the biological functioning of EVs has become a widespread research field in basic and clinical branches of medical sciences due to their potential role in therapeutic applications for several diseases. This review aims to summarize the main recent findings regarding the implication of EVs shed by human macrophages (MΦ-EVs) and how they can modulate the host immune response to control or increase the damage caused by infectious agents. We will also present the methods used to describe MΦ-EVs, as well as the potential of these EVs as disease diagnostic tools for some human pathogens. We believe that an in-depth understanding of the host–pathogen interactions mediated by MΦ-EVs may trigger the development of innovative therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the potential pathophysiological association between tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) using bioinformatic analyses. Patients and Methods Gene expression datasets for healthy controls (HCs), TB patients, DM patients, TB+DM patients (GSE114192), and metformin-treated cells (GSE102677) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from pairwise dataset comparisons TB vs HCs and DM vs HCs. DEGs were verified by comparing them to DEGs for TB+DM vs HCs. Enrichment analysis of DEGs common to all three dataset comparisons was conducted using DAVID. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was established via STRING and visualised in Cytoscape. Hub genes were identified using the Cytoscape plug-in cytoHubba and then were verified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. Targeted miRNA prediction analysis identified metformin treatment-induced gene expression changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results A total of 422 DEGs were common to all three dataset comparisons. Functional enrichment analysis revealed these DEGs were enriched for functional terms of type I interferon signaling pathway, innate immune response, inflammatory response, and infectious diseases. Ten hub genes identified using PPI network analysis were screened for interactions with metformin target gene INS using cytoHubba based on maximal clique centrality (MCC) score. Subsequently, five hub genes were predicted to functionally interact with INS, including STAT1, IFIT3, RSAD2, IFI44L, and XAF1, as verified by RT-qPCR. Meanwhile, seven miRNAs (miR-3680-3p, miR-3059-5p, miR-629-3p, miR-29b-2-5p, miR-514b-5p, miR-4755-5p, miR-4691-3p) were associated with regulation of hub genes. Notably, six hub genes (STAT1, IFIT3, RSAD2, ISG15, IFI44, IFI6) were down-regulated in cells exposed to both metformin and Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens. Conclusion Network hub genes hold promise as disease status biomarkers and as metformin treatment targets for alleviating TB and DM. This study describes a strategy for exploring pathogenic mechanisms of diseases such as TB and DM.

Culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis in Different Carbon Sources to Induce In Vitro Cholesterol Consumption Leads to Alterations in the Host Cells after Infection: A Macrophage Proteomics Analysis. Pathogens 2021; 10:pathogens10060662.

Abstract
During tuberculosis, Mycobacterium uses host macrophage cholesterol as a carbon and energy source. To mimic these conditions, Mycobacterium smegmatis can be cultured in minimal medium (MM) to induce cholesterol consumption in vitro. During cultivation, M. smegmatis consumes MM cholesterol and changes the accumulation of cell wall compounds, such as PIMs, LM, and LAM, which plays an important role in its pathogenicity. These changes lead to cell surface hydrophobicity modifications and H2O2 susceptibility. Furthermore, when M. smegmatis infects J774A.1 macrophages, it induces granuloma-like structure formation. The present study aims to assess macrophage molecular disturbances caused by M. smegmatis after cholesterol consumption, using proteomics analyses. Proteins that showed changes in expression levels were analyzed in silico using OmicsBox and String analysis to investigate the canonical pathways and functional networks involved in infection. Our results demonstrate that, after cholesterol consumption, M. smegmatis can induce deregulation of protein expression in macrophages. Many of these proteins are related to cytoskeleton remodeling, immune response, the ubiquitination pathway, mRNA processing, and immunometabolism. The identification of these proteins sheds light on the biochemical pathways involved in the mechanisms of action of mycobacteria infection, and may suggest novel protein targets for the development of new and improved treatments.

Abstract
In human primary dendritic cells (DC) rapamycin-an autophagy inducer and protein synthesis inhibitor-overcomes the autophagy block induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and promotes a Th1 response via IL-12 secretion. Here, the immunostimulatory activity of rapamycin in Mtb-infected DC was further investigated by analyzing both transcriptome and translatome gene profiles. Hundreds of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by transcriptome and translatome analyses of Mtb-infected DC, and some of these genes were found further modulated by rapamycin. The majority of transcriptome-associated DEGs overlapped with those present in the translatome, suggesting that transcriptionally stimulated mRNAs are also actively translated. In silico analysis of DEGs revealed significant changes in intracellular cascades related to cytokine production, cytokine-induced signaling and immune response to pathogens. In particular, rapamycin treatment of Mtb-infected DC caused an enrichment of IFN-β, IFN-λ and IFN-stimulated gene transcripts in the polysome-associated RNA fraction. In addition, rapamycin led to an increase of IL-12, IL-23, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α but to a reduction of IL-10. Interestingly, upon silencing or pharmacological inhibition of GSK-3β, the rapamycin-driven modulation of the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine balance was lost, indicating that, in Mtb-infected DC, GSK-3β acts as molecular switch for the regulation of the cytokine milieu. In conclusion, our study sheds light on the molecular mechanism by which autophagy induction contributes to DC activation during Mtb infection and points to rapamycin and GSK-3β modulators as promising compounds for host-directed therapy in the control of Mtb infection.

[PMID: 33648458 PMCID: PMC7923532 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-07435-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bi-specific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody is a class of bispecific antibodies designed for cancer immunotherapy. Blinatumomab is the first approved BiTE to treat acute B cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It brings killer T and target B cells into close proximity, activating patient’s autologous T cells to kill malignant B cells via mechanisms such as cytolytic immune synapse formation and inflammatory cytokine production. However, the activated T-cell subtypes and the target cell-dependent T cell responses induced by blinatumomab, as well as the mechanisms of resistance to blinatumomab therapy are largely unknown. Results In this study, we performed single-cell sequencing analysis to identify transcriptional changes in T cells following blinatumomab-induced T cell activation using single cells from both, a human cell line model and a patient-derived model of blinatumomab-mediated cytotoxicity. In total, the transcriptome of 17,920 single T cells from the cell line model and 2271 single T cells from patient samples were analyzed. We found that CD8+ effector memory T cells, CD4+ central memory T cells, naïve T cells, and regulatory T cells were activated after blinatumomab treatment. Here, blinatumomab-induced transcriptional changes reflected the functional immune activity of the blinatumomab-activated T cells, including the upregulation of pathways such as the immune system, glycolysis, IFNA signaling, gap junctions, and IFNG signaling. Co-stimulatory (TNFRSF4 and TNFRSF18) and co-inhibitory (LAG3) receptors were similarly upregulated in blinatumomab-activated T cells, indicating ligand-dependent T cell functions. Particularly, B-ALL cell expression of TNFSF4, which encodes the ligand of T cell co-stimulatory receptor TNFRSF4, was found positively correlated with the response to blinatumomab treatment. Furthermore, recombinant human TNFSF4 protein enhanced the cytotoxic activity of blinatumomab against B-ALL cells. Conclusion These results reveal a target cell-dependent mechanism of T-cell activation by blinatumomab and suggest that TNFSF4 may be responsible for the resistant mechanism and a potential target for combination therapy with blinatumomab, to treat B-ALL or other B-cell malignancies.

Abstract
Adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC), which abnormally colonize the intestinal mucosa of Crohn's disease (CD) patients, are able to adhere to and invade intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), survive and replicate within macrophages and induce a pro-inflammatory response. AIEC infection of IECs induces secretion of exosomes that increase AIEC replication in exosome-receiving IECs and macrophages. Here, we investigated the mechanism underlying the increased AIEC replication in cells receiving exosomes from AIEC-infected cells. Exosomes released by uninfected human intestinal epithelial T84 cells (Exo-uninfected) or by T84 cells infected with the clinical AIEC LF82 strain (Exo-LF82), the nonpathogenic E. coli K12 strain (Exo-K12) or the commensal E. coli HS strain (Exo-HS) were purified and used to stimulate T84 cells. Stimulation of T84 cells with Exo-LF82 inhibited autophagy compared with Exo-uninfected, Exo-K12 and Exo-HS. qRT-PCR analysis revealed increased levels of miR-30c and miR-130a in Exo-LF82 compared to Exo-uninfected, Exo-K12 and Exo-HS. These miRNAs were transferred via exosomes to recipient cells, in which they targeted and inhibited ATG5 and ATG16L1 expression and thereby autophagy response, thus favoring AIEC intracellular replication. Inhibition of these miRNAs in exosome-donor cells infected with AIEC LF82 abolished the increase in miR-30c and miR-130a levels in the released Exo-LF82 and in Exo-LF82-receiving cells, thus suppressing the inhibitory effect of Exo-LF82 on ATG5 and ATG16L1 expression and on autophagy-mediated AIEC clearance in Exo-LF82-receiving cells. Our study shows that upon AIEC infection, IECs secrete exosomes that can transfer specific miRNAs to recipient IECs, inhibiting autophagy-mediated clearance of intracellular AIEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is one of the serious infectious diseases worldwide; however, the gene network involved in the host response remain largely unclear. METHODS This study integrated two cohorts profile datasets GSE34608 and GSE83456 to elucidate the potential gene network and signaling pathways in PTB. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained for Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis using Metascape database. Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed by the online database the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING). Modules were identified by the plug-in APP Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) in Cytoscape. GO and KEGG pathway of Module 1 were further analyzed by STRING. Hub genes were selected for further expression validation in dataset GSE19439. The gene expression level was also investigated in the dataset GSE31348 to display the change pattern during the PTB treatment. RESULTS Totally, 180 shared DEGs were identified from two datasets. Gene function and KEGG pathway enrichment revealed that DEGs mainly enriched in defense response to other organism, response to bacterium, myeloid leukocyte activation, cytokine production, etc. Seven modules were clustered based on PPI network. Module 1 contained 35 genes related to cytokine associated functions, among which 14 genes, including chemokine receptors, interferon-induced proteins and Toll-like receptors, were identified as hub genes. Expression levels of the hub genes were validated with a third dataset GSE19439. The signature of this core gene network showed significant response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, and correlated with the gene network pattern during anti-PTB therapy. CONCLUSIONS Our study unveils the coordination of causal genes during PTB infection, and provides a promising gene panel for PTB diagnosis. As major regulators of the host immune response to Mtb infection, the 14 hub genes are also potential molecular targets for developing PTB drugs.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics has evolved considerably over the last decade with the advent of higher order multiplexing (HOM) techniques. With the development of methods such as-multitagging, cPILOT, hyperplexing, BONPlex, and MITNCAT, the HOM technique is rapidly taking the center stage in multiplexed quantitative proteomics. These studies combined MS1 and MS2 labels in a single experiment enabling higher sample throughput. While HOM is highly promising, the computational analysis is still a big challenge, as the available tools cannot harness its power completely. We have developed a new quantitative pipeline, HyperQuant to aid in accurately quantitating complex HOM data. The pipeline uses identification results from either MaxQuant or any other search engine and quantitation results from QuantWizIQ. The Mapper and Combiner modules of HyperQuant allow facile integration of the labeled data, along with peptide spectrum match (PSM) intensity/ratio integration for proteins, respectively, for each PSM label combination. This also includes appropriate combination of replicates/fractions before summarizing the protein intensity/ratio, leading to robust quantitation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tool for the quantitation of HOM data with flexibility for any combination of MS1 and MS2 labels. We demonstrate its utility in analyzing two 18-plex data sets from the hyperplexing and the BONplex studies. The tool is open source and freely available for noncommercial use. HyperQuant is a highly valuable tool that will help in advancing the field of multiplexed quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
Purpose IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) 15 is a type 1 IFN-induced protein and known to modify target proteins in a manner similar to ubiquitylation (protein conjugation by ISG15 is termed ISGylation). We sought to determine the role of ISG15 and its underlying mechanisms in corneal innate immune defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis. Methods ISG15 expression in cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) and mouse corneas was determined by PCR and Western blot analysis. Gene knockout mice were used to define the role of ISG15 signaling in controlling the severity of P. aeruginosa keratitis, which was assessed with photographing, clinical scoring, bacterial counting, myeloperoxidase assay, and quantitative PCR determination of cytokine expression. Integrin LFA-1 inhibitor was used to assess its involvement of ISG15 signaling in P. aeruginosa-infected corneas. Results Heat-killed P. aeruginosa induced ISG15 expression in cultured HCECs and accumulation in the conditioned media. Isg15 deficiency accelerated keratitis progress, suppressed IFNγ and CXCL10, and promoted IL-1β while exhibiting no effects on IFNα expression. Moreover, exogenous ISG15 protected the corneas of wild-type mice from P. aeruginosa infection while markedly reducing the severity of P. aeruginosa keratitis in type 1 IFN-receptor knockout mice. Exogenous ISG15 increased bacteriostatic activity of B6 mouse corneal homogenates, and inhibition of LFA-1 exacerbated the severity of and abolished protective effects of ISG15 on P. aeruginosa keratitis. Conclusions Type 1 INF-induced ISG15 regulates the innate immune response and greatly reduces the susceptibility of B6 mouse corneas to P. aeruginosa infection in an LFA-1-dependent manner.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, usually chronic and has a progressive clinical course. Despite the availability of effective chemotherapy, TB is a leading killer of young adults worldwide and the global multi-drug resistant TB is reaching epidemic proportions. Interrupt transmission through early detection and treatment of the patients is a main element of the drug-resistant TB control strategy. However, many drugable targets in pathogens are already inhibited by current antibiotics and there is not a biomarker that indicate normal or pathogenic biological processes, or pharmacological responses to therapeutic intervention. Studies directed at evaluate key elements of host response to infection may identify biomarkers with measurable characteristics that indicate pathogenic biological processes. Cell-derived microparticles (MPs) are membrane-coated vesicles that represent subcellular elements and have been identified increasingly in a broad range of diseases and emerging as potential novel biomarker to pathological processes. In addition, MPs carry contents from their cells of origin as bioactive molecules as cytokines, enzymes, surface receptors, antigens and genetic information and may provide a means of communication between cells. Molecules-loaded MPs may interplay with the immune system and therefore can acts on inflammation, cell activation and migration. Therefore, MPs may be an important factor to immune process during Mtb infection, especially in pulmonary granulomas and influence the outcome of infection. Their characterization may facilitate an appropriate diagnosis, optimize pharmacological strategies and might be further explored as potential targets for future clinical interventions.

Abstract
The host response to viral infection includes the induction of type I interferons and the subsequent upregulation of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes. Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is an interferon-induced protein that has been implicated as a central player in the host antiviral response. Over the past 15 years, efforts to understand how ISG15 protects the host during infection have revealed that its actions are diverse and pathogen-dependent. In this Review, we describe new insights into how ISG15 directly inhibits viral replication and discuss the recent finding that ISG15 modulates the host damage and repair response, immune response and other host signalling pathways. We also explore the viral immune-evasion strategies that counteract the actions of ISG15. These findings are integrated with a discussion of the recent identification of ISG15-deficient individuals and a cellular receptor for ISG15 that provides new insights into how ISG15 shapes the host response to viral infection. Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is an interferon-induced protein that has been implicated as a central player in the host antiviral response. In this Review, Perng and Lenschow provide new insights into how ISG15 restricts and shapes the host response to viral infection and the viral immune-evasion strategies that counteract ISG15.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are membrane-bound structures released by living cells and present in body fluids. Their composition includes proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids and are involved in transfers between cells. Extracellular vesicles can deliver molecules to cells and tissues even if distant. As a consequence, they have a role in information transmission and in the modulation of the biological function of recipient cells. Among other things, they are involved in antigen presentation and the induction of secretion events by immune cells. Thus, extracellular vesicles participate in the regulation of immune responses during infections. We will discuss their potential as effectors and disease biomarkers concerning only mycobacterial infections.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are a heterogeneous group of cell-derived membranous structures, which facilitate intercellular communication. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of extracellular vesicles in bone homeostasis, as mediators of crosstalk between different bone-resident cells. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are capable of releasing various types of extracellular vesicles that promote both osteogenesis, as well as, osteoclastogenesis, maintaining bone homeostasis. However, the contribution of immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles in bone homeostasis remains largely unknown. Recent proteomic studies showed that alarmins are abundantly present in/on macrophage-derived EVs. In this review we will describe these alarmins in the context of bone matrix regulation and discuss the potential contribution macrophage-derived EVs may have in this process.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to carry microbial components and function in the host defense against infections. In this study, we demonstrate that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) RNA is delivered into macrophage-derived EVs through an M.tb SecA2-dependent pathway and that EVs released from M.tb-infected macrophages stimulate a host RIG-I/MAVS/TBK1/IRF3 RNA sensing pathway, leading to type I interferon production in recipient cells. These EVs also promote, in a RIG-I/MAVS-dependent manner, the maturation of M.tb-containing phagosomes through a noncanonical LC3 pathway, leading to increased bacterial killing. Moreover, treatment of M.tb-infected macrophages or mice with a combination of moxifloxacin and EVs, isolated from M.tb-infected macrophages, significantly lowered bacterial burden relative to either treatment alone. We hypothesize that EVs, which are preferentially removed by macrophages in vivo, can be combined with effective antibiotics as a novel approach to treat drug-resistant TB.

Abstract
IFN-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) deficiency in humans leads to severe IFNopathies and mycobacterial disease, the latter being previously attributed to its extracellular cytokine-like activity. In this study, we demonstrate a novel role for secreted ISG15 as an IL-10 inducer, unique to primary human monocytes. A balanced ISG15-induced monocyte/IL-10 versus lymphoid/IFN-γ expression, correlating with p38 MAPK and PI3K signaling, was found using targeted in vitro and ex vivo systems analysis of human transcriptomic datasets. The specificity and MAPK/PI3K-dependence of ISG15-induced monocyte IL-10 production was confirmed in vitro using CRISPR/Cas9 knockout and pharmacological inhibitors. Moreover, this ISG15/IL-10 axis was amplified in leprosy but disrupted in human active tuberculosis (TB) patients. Importantly, ISG15 strongly correlated with inflammation and disease severity during active TB, suggesting its potential use as a biomarker, awaiting clinical validation. In conclusion, this study identifies a novel anti-inflammatory ISG15/IL-10 myeloid axis that is disrupted in active TB.

Abstract
Macrophages are primary host of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) and the central effector of in vivo innate immune responses against bacteria. Though the interaction between macrophages and mycobacteria has been widely investigated, the molecular mechanisms of M.tb pathogenesis in macrophages are still not clear. In this work, we investigated the altered protein expression profiles of macrophages after virulent H37Rv strain and avirulent H37Ra strain infection by tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomics. Among 6762 identified proteins of macrophages, the expression levels of 235 proteins were significantly altered, which is supposed to be related to the infection of different strains. By bioinformatics analysis at systems level, we found that these proteins are mainly involved in the biological process of apoptosis, blood coagulation, oxidative phosphorylation, and others. The enormous variation in protein profiles between macrophages infected with H37Ra and H37Rv suggests the existence of four different immunity mechanisms that decide the fates of macrophages and M.tb. These data may provide a better understanding of M.tb pathogenesis within the host, which contributes to the prevention and clinical treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract
ISG15 is a ubiquitin-like type I IFN-stimulated protein of 15 kDa and is one of the most prominently expressed proteins in viral infections. ISG15 is widely known to be involved in a process called ISGylation, where it binds to over 150 targets from a variety of classes of proteins including central immune signaling pathways such as those mediated by NFκB, JNK, and IRF-3. However, ISG15 also exists in a free form that can act intra- or extracellularly. In vitro and in vivo evidences suggest that free ISG15 play different roles in several cellular processes, from cancer and defense against viral infections to activation of immune cells such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and NK cells. This review discusses the roles of free intracellular and secreted ISG15 approaching questions yet to be answered about the mechanism of action of this protein.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The immune system is our defense system against microbial infections and tissue injury, and understanding how it works in detail is essential for developing drugs for different diseases. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics can provide in-depth information on the molecular mechanisms involved in immune responses. Areas covered: Summarized are the key immunology findings obtained with MS-based proteomics in the past five years, with a focus on inflammasome activation, global protein secretion, mucosal immunology, immunopeptidome and T cells. Special focus is on extracellular vesicle-mediated protein secretion and its role in immune responses. Expert commentary: Proteomics is an essential part of modern omics-scale immunology research. To date, MS-based proteomics has been used in immunology to study protein expression levels, their subcellular localization, secretion, post-translational modifications, and interactions in immune cells upon activation by different stimuli. These studies have made major contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in innate and adaptive immune responses. New developments in proteomics offer constantly novel possibilities for exploring the immune system. Examples of these techniques include mass cytometry and different MS-based imaging approaches which can be widely used in immunology.

Abstract
Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), the most common pathogens of tuberculosis (TB), is virulent to human and cattle, and transmission between cattle and humans warrants reconsideration concerning food safety and public health. Recently, efforts have begun to analyze cellular proteomic responses induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). However, the underlying mechanisms by which virulent M. bovis affects human hosts are not fully understood. For the present study, we utilized a global and comparative labeling strategy of isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to assess proteomic changes in the human monocyte cell line (THP-1) using a vaccine strain and two virulent strains H37Rv and M. bovis. We measured 2,032 proteins, of which 61 were significantly differentially regulated. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was employed to investigate the canonical pathways and functional networks involved in the infection. Several pathways, most notably the phagosome maturation pathway and TNF signaling pathway, were differentially affected by virulent strain treatment, including the key proteins CCL20 and ICAM1. Our qRT-PCR results were in accordance with those obtained from iTRAQ. The key enzyme MTHFD2, which is mainly involved in metabolism pathways, as well as LAMTOR2 might be effective upon M. bovis infection. String analysis also suggested that the vacuolar protein VPS26A interacted with TBC1D9B uniquely induced by M. bovis. In this study, we have first demonstrated the application of iTRAQ to compare human protein alterations induced by virulent M. bovis infections, thus providing a conceptual understanding of mycobacteria pathogenesis within the host as well as insight into preventing and controlling TB in human and animal hosts' transmission.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a prevalent and lethal infectious disease. The glycobiology associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of frontline alveolar macrophages is still unresolved. Herein, we investigated the regulation of protein N-glycosylation in human macrophages and their secreted microparticles (MPs) used for intercellular communication upon M. tb infection. LC-MS/MS-based proteomics and glycomics were performed to monitor the regulation of glycosylation enzymes and receptors and the N-glycome in in vitro-differentiated macrophages and in isolated MPs upon M. tb infection. Infection promoted a dramatic regulation of the macrophage proteome. Most notably, significant infection-dependent down-regulation (4-26 fold) of 11 lysosomal exoglycosidases, e.g., β-galactosidase, β-hexosaminidases and α-/β-mannosidases, was observed. Relative weak infection-driven transcriptional regulation of these exoglycosidases and a stronger augmentation of the extracellular hexosaminidase activity demonstrated that the lysosome-centric changes may originate predominantly from infection-induced secretion of the lysosomal content. The macrophages showed heterogeneous N-glycan profiles and displayed significant up-regulation of complex-type glycosylation and concomitant down-regulation of paucimannosylation upon infection. Complementary intact N-glycopeptide analysis supported a subcellular-specific manipulation of the glycosylation machinery and altered glycosylation patterns of lysosomal N-glycoproteins within infected macrophages. Interestingly, the corresponding macrophage-derived MPs displayed unique N-glycome and proteome signatures supporting a preferential packaging from plasma membranes. The MPs were devoid of infection-dependent N-glycosylation signatures, but interestingly displayed increased levels of the glyco-initiating oligosaccharyltransferase complex and associated α-glucosidases that correlated with increased formation, N-glycan precursor levels and N-glycan density of infected MPs. In conclusion, this system-wide study provides new insight into the host- and pathogen-driven N-glycoproteome manipulation of macrophages in TB.

Abstract
Proteins are frequently modified by complex carbohydrates (glycans) that play central roles in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of cells and tissues in humans and lower organisms. Mannose forms an essential building block of protein glycosylation, and its functional involvement as components of larger and diverse α-mannosidic glycoepitopes in important intra- and intercellular glycoimmunological processes is gaining recognition. With a focus on the mannose-rich asparagine (N-linked) glycosylation type, this review summarises the increasing volume of literature covering human and non-human protein mannosylation, including their structures, biosynthesis and spatiotemporal expression. The review also covers their known interactions with specialised host and microbial mannose-recognising C-type lectin receptors (mrCLRs) and antibodies (mrAbs) during inflammation and pathogen infection. Advances in molecular mapping technologies have recently revealed novel immuno-centric mannose-terminating truncated N-glycans, termed paucimannosylation, on human proteins. The cellular presentation of α-mannosidic glycoepitopes on N-glycoproteins appears tightly regulated; α-mannose determinants are relative rare glycoepitopes in physiological extracellular environments, but may be actively secreted or leaked from cells to transmit potent signals when required. Simultaneously, our understanding of the molecular basis on the recognition of mannosidic epitopes by mrCLRs including DC-SIGN, mannose receptor, mannose binding lectin and mrAb is rapidly advancing, together with the functional implications of these interactions in facilitating an effective immune response during physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Ultimately, deciphering these complex mannose-based receptor-ligand interactions at the detailed molecular level will significantly advance our understanding of immunological disorders and infectious diseases, promoting the development of future therapeutics to improve patient clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The fatty acid composition of monocytes changes substantially during differentiation into macrophages, increasing the proportion of saturated fatty acids. These changes prompted us to investigate whether fatty acid accumulation in the extracellular milieu could affect the differentiation of bystander mononuclear phagocytes. An esterified fatty acid derivative, stearate, was the only fatty acid that significantly increased in macrophage supernatants, and there were higher levels when cells differentiated in the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv or purified protein derivative (PPD). Exogenous stearic acid enhanced the expression of HLA-DR and CD64; there was also accumulation of IL-12, TNF-α, IL-6, MIP-1 α and β and a reduction in MCP-1 and the bacterial load. These results suggested that during differentiation, a derivative of stearic acid, which promotes the process as well as the effector mechanisms of phagocytes against the mycobacterium, accumulates in the cell supernatants.
