Vet Microbiol 2024; 293:110089. [PMID: 38678845 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2024.110089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects wild and domestic animals. It is caused by members of the bacterial genus Brucella. Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is associated with microbial infections. However, the role of GBP1 during Brucella infection remains unclear. This investigation aimed to identify the association of GBP1 with brucellosis. Results showed that Brucella infection induced GBP1 upregulation in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. Small interfering GBP1 targeting RNAs were utilized to explore how GBP1 regulates the survival of Brucella intracellularly. Results revealed that GBP1 knockdown promoted Brucella's survival ability, activated Nod-like receptor (NLR) containing a pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) and absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammatory corpuscles, and induced pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-1β. Furthermore, Brucella stimulated the expression of GBP1 in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and mice. During the inhibition of GBP1 in BMDMs, the intracellular growth of Brucella increased. In comparison, GBP1 downregulation enhanced the accumulation of Brucella-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in macrophages. Overall, the data indicate a significant role of GBP1 in regulating brucellosis and suggest the function underlying its suppressive effect on the survival and growth of Brucella intracellularly.

Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases (MtD) represent a significant public health challenge due to their heterogenous clinical presentation, often severe and progressive symptoms, and the lack of effective therapies. Environmental exposures, such bacterial and viral infection, can further compromise mitochondrial function and exacerbate the progression of MtD. Infections in MtD patients more frequently progress to sepsis, pneumonia, and other detrimental inflammatory endpoints. However, the underlying immune alterations that enhance immunopathology in MtD remain unclear, constituting a key gap in knowledge that complicates treatment and increases mortality in this population. Here we employ in vitro and in vivo approaches to clarify the molecular and cellular basis for innate immune hyperactivity in models of polymerase gamma (Polg)-related MtD. We reveal that type I interferon (IFN-I)-mediated upregulation of caspase-11 and guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) increase macrophage sensing of the opportunistic microbe Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in Polg mutant mice. Furthermore, we show that excessive macrophage cytokine secretion and pyroptotic cell death contribute to lung inflammation and morbidity after infection with PA. Our work sheds new light on innate immune dysregulation in MtD and reveals potential targets for limiting infection- and inflammation-related complications in Polg-related MtD.

Microbiol Immunol 2024; 68:185-195. [PMID: 38462687 DOI: 10.1111/1348-0421.13123] [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: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are a family of interferon (IFN)-inducible GTPases and play a pivotal role in the host immune response to microbial infections. These are upregulated in immune cells after recognizing the lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the major membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria. In the present study, the expression pattern of GBP1-7 was initially mapped in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated human monocytes THP-1 and mouse macrophages RAW 264.7 cell lines stimulated with LPS. A time-dependent significant expression of GBP1-7 was observed in these cells. Moreover, among the various GBPs, GBP1 has emerged as a central player in regulating innate immunity and inflammation. Therefore, to study the specific role of GBP1 in LPS-induced inflammation, knockdown of the Gbp1 gene was carried out in both cells using small interfering RNA interference. Altered levels of different cytokines (interleukin [IL]-4, IL-10, IL-12β, IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase, histocompatibility 2, class II antigen A, protein kinase R, and chemokines (chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 [CXCL9], CXCL10, and CXCL11) in GBP1 knockdown cells were reported compared to control cells. Interestingly, the extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) transcription factor levels were considerably induced in knockdown cells compared to the control cells. However, no change in the level of phosphorylated nuclear factor-kB, c-Jun, and p38 transcription factors was observed in GBP1 knockdown cells compared to the control cells. This study concludes that GBP1 may alter the expression of cytokines, chemokines, and effector molecules mediated by MAP kinases and STAT1 transcription factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary emphysema is a condition that causes damage to the lung tissue over time. GBP5, as part of the guanylate-binding protein family, is dysregulated in mouse pulmonary emphysema. However, the role of GBP5 in lung inflammation in ARDS remains unveiled. METHODS To investigate whether GBP5 regulates lung inflammation and autophagy regulation, the study employed a mouse ARDS model and MLE-12 cell culture. Vector transfection was performed for the genetic manipulation of GBP5. Then, RT-qPCR, WB and IHC staining were conducted to assess its transcriptional and expression levels. Histological features of the lung tissue were observed through HE staining. Moreover, ELISA was conducted to evaluate the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, autophagy was assessed by immunofluorescent staining, and MPO activity was determined using a commercial kit. RESULTS Our study revealed that GBP5 expression was altered in mouse ARDS and LPS-induced MLE-12 cell models. Moreover, the suppression of GBP5 reduced lung inflammation induced by LPS in mice. Conversely, overexpression of GBP5 diminished the inhibitory impact of LPS on ARDS during autophagy, leading to increased inflammation. In the cell line of MLE-12, GBP5 exacerbates LPS-induced inflammation by blocking autophagy. CONCLUSION The study suggests that GBP5 facilitates lung inflammation and autophagy regulation. Thus, GBP5 could be a potential therapeutic approach for improving ARDS treatment outcomes, but further research is required to validate these findings.

Abstract
Infectious diseases continue to claim many lives. Prevention of morbidity and mortality from these diseases would benefit not just from new medicines and vaccines but also from a better understanding of what constitutes protective immunity. Among the major immune signals that mobilize host defense against infection is interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a protein secreted by lymphocytes. Forty years ago, IFN-γ was identified as a macrophage-activating factor, and, in recent years, there has been a resurgent interest in IFN-γ biology and its role in human defense. Here we assess the current understanding of IFN-γ, revisit its designation as an "interferon," and weigh its prospects as a therapeutic against globally pervasive microbial pathogens.

Abstract
Chronic periodontitis and its keystone pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, have increasingly been linked with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, P.gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mediated release of neuroinflammatory proteins contributes to AD remains underexplored. In this study, we utilized data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry to characterize P.gingivalis-LPS induced profile of differentially expressed proteins associated with the neuroinflammatory response in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and human microglial (HMC3) cells. We reported a set of 124 proteins in SH-SY5Y cells and 96 proteins in HMC3 cells whose levels were significantly upregulated or downregulated by exposure to P. gingivalis-LPS. Our findings demonstrate that P. gingivalis-LPS contributed to the elevated expressions of dementia biomarkers and pro-inflammatory cytokines that include APP, Aβ1-42, Aβ1-40, T-Tau, p-Tau, VEGF, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α through 2 distinct pathways of extracellular sensing by cell surface receptors and intracellular cytosolic receptors. Interestingly, intracellular signaling proteins activated with P. gingivalis-LPS transfection using Lipofectamine™ 2000 had significantly higher fold change protein expression compared to the extracellular signaling with P. gingivalis-LPS treatment. Additionally, we also explored P. gingivalis-LPS mediated activation of caspase-4 dependent non canonical inflammasome pathway in both SH-SY5Y and HMC3 cells. In summary, P. gingivalis-LPS induced neuroinflammatory protein expression in SH-SY5Y and HMC3 cells, provided insights into the specific inflammatory pathways underlying the potential link between P. gingivalis-LPS infection and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Abstract
All living organisms deploy cell-autonomous defenses to combat infection. In plants and animals, large supramolecular complexes often activate immune proteins for protection. In this work, we resolved the native structure of a massive host-defense complex that polymerizes 30,000 guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) over the surface of gram-negative bacteria inside human cells. Construction of this giant nanomachine took several minutes and remained stable for hours, required guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis, and recruited four GBPs plus caspase-4 and Gasdermin D as a cytokine and cell death immune signaling platform. Cryo-electron tomography suggests that GBP1 can adopt an extended conformation for bacterial membrane insertion to establish this platform, triggering lipopolysaccharide release that activated coassembled caspase-4. Our "open conformer" model provides a dynamic view into how the human GBP1 defense complex mobilizes innate immunity to infection.

Guanylate-binding protein-5 is involved in inflammasome activation by bacterial DNA but only the cooperation of multiple GBPs accounts for control of Brucella abortus infection. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1341464. [PMID: 38404575 PMCID: PMC10885698 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1341464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are produced in response to pro-inflammatory signals, mainly interferons. The most studied cluster of GBPs in mice is on chromosome 3. It comprises the genes for GBP1-to-3, GBP5 and GBP7. In humans, all GBPs are present in a single cluster on chromosome 1. Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative bacterium known to cause brucellosis, a debilitating disease that affects both humans and animals. Our group demonstrated previously that GBPs present on murine chromosome 3 (GBPchr3) is important to disrupt Brucella-containing vacuole and GBP5 itself is important to Brucella intracellular LPS recognition. In this work, we investigated further the role of GBPs during B. abortus infection. Methods and results We observed that all GBPs from murine chromosome 3 are significantly upregulated in response to B. abortus infection in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. Of note, GBP5 presents the highest expression level in all time points evaluated. However, only GBPchr3-/- cells presented increased bacterial burden compared to wild-type macrophages. Brucella DNA is an important Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern that could be available for inflammasome activation after BCV disruption mediated by GBPs. In this regard, we observed reduced IL-1β production in the absence of GBP2 or GBP5, as well as in GBPchr3-/- murine macrophages. Similar result was showed by THP-1 macrophages with downregulation of GBP2 and GBP5 mediated by siRNA. Furthermore, significant reduction on caspase-1 p20 levels, LDH release and Gasdermin-D conversion into its mature form (p30 N-terminal subunit) was observed only in GBPchr3-/- macrophages. In an in vivo perspective, we found that GBPchr3-/- mice had increased B. abortus burden and higher number of granulomas per area of liver tissue, indicating increased disease severity. Discussion/conclusion Altogether, these results demonstrate that although GBP5 presents a high expression pattern and is involved in inflammasome activation by bacterial DNA in macrophages, the cooperation of multiple GBPs from murine chromosome 3 is necessary for full control of Brucella abortus infection.

Abstract
AIM Guanylate-binding protein 5 (GBP5) is an interferon (IFN)-inducible GTPase that plays a crucial role in the cell-autonomous immune response against microbial infections. In this study, we investigated the immunoregulatory role of GBP5 in the pathogenesis of dental pulpitis. METHODOLOGY Gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was utilized to evaluate the IFN-γ signalling pathway, and the differential expression of GBP mRNA in normal versus inflamed dental pulp tissues was screened, based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets associated with pulpitis. Both normal pulp tissues and inflamed pulp tissues were used for experiments. The expression of IFNs and GBPs was determined by qRT-PCR. Immunoblotting and double immunofluorescence were performed to examine the cellular localization of GBP5 in dental pulp tissues. For the functional studies, IFN-γ priming or lentivirus vector-delivered shRNA was used to, respectively, overexpress or knock down endogenous GBP5 expression in human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs). Subsequently, LPS was used to stimulate HDPSCs (overexpressing or with knocked-down GBP5) to establish an in vitro model of inflammation. qRT-PCR and ELISA were employed to examine the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1β) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2). Every experiment has three times of biological replicates and three technical replicates, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA, and a p-value of <.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS GSEA analysis based on the GEO dataset revealed a significant activation of the IFN-γ signalling pathway in the human pulpitis group. Among the human GBPs evaluated, GBP5 was selectively upregulated in inflamed dental pulp tissues and predominantly expressed in dental pulp cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that IFN-γ robustly induced the expression of GBP5 in HDPSCs. Knockdown of GBP5 expression in HDPSCs significantly amplified the LPS-induced upregulation of inflammatory mediators (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and COX2) both with and without IFN-γ priming. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that GBP5 partook in the pathogenesis of dental pulpitis. The involvement of GBP5 in pulpitis appeared to coordinate the regulation of inflammatory cytokines. Knockdown of GBP5 contributed to the exacerbation of LPS-mediated inflammation.

Footrot is characterized by separation of the hoof from underlying tissue, and this causes severe lameness that negatively impacts animal wellbeing, growth, and profitability. Large economic losses result from lost production as well as treatment costs, and improved genetic tools to address footrot are a valuable long-term goal. Prior genetic studies had examined European wool sheep, but hair sheep breeds such as Katahdin and Blackbelly have been reported to have increased resistance to footrot, as well as to intestinal parasites. Thus, footrot condition scores were collected from 251 U.S. sheep including Katahdin, Blackbelly, and European-influenced crossbred sheep with direct and imputed genotypes at OvineHD array (>500,000 single nucleotide polymorphism) density. Genome-wide association was performed with a mixed model accounting for farm and principal components derived from animal genotypes, as well as a random term for the genomic relationship matrix. We identified three genome-wide significant associations, including SNPs in or near GBP6 and TCHH. We also identified 33 additional associated SNPs with genome-wide suggestive evidence, including a cluster of 6 SNPs in a peak near the genome-wide significance threshold located near the glutamine transporter gene SLC38A1. These findings suggest genetic susceptibility to footrot may be influenced by genes involved in divergent biological processes such as immune responses, nutrient availability, and hoof growth and integrity. This is the first genome-wide study to investigate susceptibility to footrot by including hair sheep and also the first study of any kind to identify multiple genome-wide significant associations with ovine footrot. These results provide a foundation for developing genetic tests for marker-assisted selection to improve resistance to ovine footrot once additional steps like fine mapping and validation are complete.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lactoferrin is an active protein in breast milk that plays an important role in the growth and development of infants and is implicated as a neuroprotective agent. The incidence of depression is currently increasing, and it is unclear whether the lack of lactoferrin during lactation affects the incidence of depressive-like behavior in adulthood. RESULTS Lack of lactoferrin feeding during lactation affected the barrier and innate immune functions of the intestine, disrupted the intestinal microflora, and led to neuroimmune dysfunction and neurodevelopmental delay in the hippocampus. When exposed to external stimulation, adult lactoferrin feeding-deficient mice presented with worse depression-like symptoms; the mechanisms involved were activation of the LPS-TLR4 signalling pathway in the intestine and hippocampus, reduced BDNF-CREB signaling pathway in hippocampus, increased abundance of depression-related bacteria, and decreased abundance of beneficial bacteria. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our findings reveal that lactoferrin feeding deficient during lactation can increase the risk of depressive-like behavior in adults. The mechanism is related to the regulatory effect of lactoferrin on the development of the "microbial-intestinal-brain" axis.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Inflammasomes are essential for host defense against intracellular bacterial pathogens like Legionella, as they activate caspases, which promote cytokine release and cell death to control infection. In mice, interferon (IFN) signaling promotes inflammasome responses against bacteria by inducing a family of IFN-inducible GTPases known as guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). Within murine macrophages, IFN promotes the rupture of the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), while GBPs are dispensable for this process. Instead, GBPs facilitate the lysis of cytosol-exposed Legionella. In contrast, the functions of IFN and GBPs in human inflammasome responses to Legionella are poorly understood. We show that IFN-γ enhances inflammasome responses to Legionella in human macrophages. Human GBP1 is required for these IFN-γ-driven inflammasome responses. Furthermore, GBP1 co-localizes with Legionella and/or LCVs in a type IV secretion system (T4SS)-dependent manner and promotes damage to the LCV, which leads to increased exposure of the bacteria to the host cell cytosol. Thus, our findings reveal species- and pathogen-specific differences in how GBPs function to promote inflammasome responses.

Abstract
Disruption of cellular activities by pathogen virulence factors can trigger innate immune responses. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-inducible antimicrobial factors, such as the guanylate binding proteins (GBPs), promote cell-intrinsic defense by attacking intracellular pathogens and by inducing programmed cell death. Working in human macrophages, we discovered that GBP1 expression in the absence of IFN-γ killed the cells and induced Golgi fragmentation. IFN-γ exposure improved macrophage survival through the activity of the kinase PIM1. PIM1 phosphorylated GBP1, leading to its sequestration by 14-3-3σ, which thereby prevented GBP1 membrane association. During Toxoplasma gondii infection, the virulence protein TgIST interfered with IFN-γ signaling and depleted PIM1, thereby increasing GBP1 activity. Although infected cells can restrain pathogens in a GBP1-dependent manner, this mechanism can protect uninfected bystander cells. Thus, PIM1 can provide a bait for pathogen virulence factors, guarding the integrity of IFN-γ signaling.

Abstract
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are a family of intracellular proteins which have diverse biological functions, including pathogen sensing and host defense against infectious disease. These proteins are expressed in response to interferon (IFN) stimulation and can localize and target intracellular microbes (e.g., bacteria and viruses) by protein trafficking and membrane binding. These properties contribute to the ability of GBPs to induce inflammasome activation, inflammation, and cell death, and to directly disrupt pathogen membranes. Recent biochemical studies have revealed that human GBP1, GBP2, and GBP3 can directly bind to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. In this review we discuss emerging data highlighting the functional versatility of GBPs, with a focus on their molecular mechanisms of pattern recognition and antimicrobial activity.

Single-cell analysis of graft-infiltrating host cells identifies caspase-1 as a potential therapeutic target for heart transplant rejection. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1251028.

Abstract
Aims Understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying early allograft rejection is crucial for the development of effective immunosuppressant strategies. This study aims to investigate the cellular composition of graft-infiltrating cells during the early rejection stage at a single-cell level and identify potential therapeutic targets. Methods A heterotopic heart transplant model was established using enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-expressing mice as recipients of allogeneic or syngeneic grafts. At 3 days post-transplant, eGFP-positive cells infiltrating the grafts were sorted and subjected to single-cell RNA-seq analysis. Potential molecular targets were evaluated by assessing graft survival and functions following administration of various pharmacological inhibitors. Results A total of 27,053 cells recovered from syngrafts and allografts were classified into 20 clusters based on expression profiles and annotated with a reference dataset. Innate immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, constituted the major infiltrating cell types (>90%) in the grafts. Lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells represented a smaller population. Allografts exhibited significantly increased proportions of monocyte-derived cells involved in antigen processing and presentation, as well as activated lymphocytes, as compared to syngrafts. Differential expression analysis revealed upregulation of interferon activation-related genes in the innate immune cells infiltrating allografts. Pro-inflammatory polarization gene signatures were also enriched in these infiltrating cells of allografts. Gene profiling and intercellular communication analysis identified natural killer cells as the primary source of interferon-γ signaling, activating inflammatory monocytes that displayed strong signals of major histocompatibility complexes and co-stimulatory molecules. The inflammatory response was also associated with promoted T cell proliferation and activation in allografts during the early transplant stages. Notably, caspase-1 exhibited specific upregulation in inflammatory monocytes in response to interferon signaling. The regulon analysis also revealed a significant enrichment of interferon-related motifs within the transcriptional regulatory network of downstream inflammatory genes including caspase-1. Remarkably, pharmacological inhibition of caspase-1 was shown to reduce immune infiltration, prevent acute graft rejection, and improve cardiac contractile function. Conclusion The single-cell transcriptional profile highlighted the crucial role of caspase-1 in interferon-mediated inflammatory monocytes infiltrating heart transplants, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for attenuating rejection.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle of patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) presents with inflammation, including upregulation of inflammatory cytokines such as interferon γ (IFNγ). Non-inflammatory features are also observed, like the sarcoplasmic accumulation of proteins including TDP-43 and p62. This study aimed to investigate the effect of IFNγ and interleukin 1-β (IL-1β) on TDP-43 and p62 aggregation in vitro. Primary human myotubes were treated with IL-1β (20 ng/mL) and IFNγ (750 ng/mL) separately or combined for 48 hr. Sarcoplasmic TDP-43 aggregates and p62 puncta were assessed using image analysis for size, frequency, and colocalization with each other. Total protein expression of TDP-43, p62 and LC3 was assessed using western blotting. The subcellular localization of TDP-43 was also analyzed using image analysis. Combined IL-1β and IFNγ treatment increased puncta size of p62 compared to control (0.49 ± 0.13 µm2 versus 0.28 ± 0.06 µm2), without affecting puncta frequency or p62 expression but with an increased LC3II/LC3I ratio, suggesting autophagic alterations. IL-1β or IFNγ did not alter p62 puncta size or frequency, suggesting a combined insult of multiple inflammatory mediators is necessary to cause p62 alterations. IL-1β increased p62 protein expression in an autophagy-independent manner. None of the cytokine treatments affected TDP-43 protein expression, size, or frequency of TDP-43 aggregates or localization, suggesting IL-1β and IFNγ may influence TDP-43 processing in human skeletal muscle cells. TDP-43 was localized to the sarcoplasm under control conditions, suggesting this may not be a pathological feature. Overall, sIBM-like TDP-43/p62 features were not triggered by IL-1β and/or IFNγ.

Abstract
Humans display substantial interindividual clinical variability after SARS-CoV-2 infection1-3, the genetic and immunological basis of which has begun to be deciphered4. However, the extent and drivers of population differences in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 remain unclear. Here we report single-cell RNA-sequencing data for peripheral blood mononuclear cells-from 222 healthy donors of diverse ancestries-that were stimulated with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A virus. We show that SARS-CoV-2 induces weaker, but more heterogeneous, interferon-stimulated gene activity compared with influenza A virus, and a unique pro-inflammatory signature in myeloid cells. Transcriptional responses to viruses display marked population differences, primarily driven by changes in cell abundance including increased lymphoid differentiation associated with latent cytomegalovirus infection. Expression quantitative trait loci and mediation analyses reveal a broad effect of cell composition on population disparities in immune responses, with genetic variants exerting a strong effect on specific loci. Furthermore, we show that natural selection has increased population differences in immune responses, particularly for variants associated with SARS-CoV-2 response in East Asians, and document the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Neanderthal introgression has altered immune functions, such as the response of myeloid cells to viruses. Finally, colocalization and transcriptome-wide association analyses reveal an overlap between the genetic basis of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 severity, providing insights into the factors contributing to current disparities in COVID-19 risk.

Abstract
Microbes have developed many strategies to subvert host organisms, which, in turn, evolved several innate immune responses. As major lipid storage organelles of eukaryotes, lipid droplets (LDs) are an attractive source of nutrients for invaders. Intracellular viruses, bacteria, and protozoan parasites induce and physically interact with LDs, and the current view is that they "hijack" LDs to draw on substrates for host colonization. This dogma has been challenged by the recent demonstration that LDs are endowed with a protein-mediated antibiotic activity, which is upregulated in response to danger signals and sepsis. Dependence on host nutrients could be a generic "Achilles' heel" of intracellular pathogens and LDs a suitable chokepoint harnessed by innate immunity to organize a front-line defense. Here, we will provide a brief overview of the state of the conflict and discuss potential mechanisms driving the formation of the 'defensive-LDs' functioning as hubs of innate immunity.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a facultative intracellular pathogen that utilizes its type III secretion systems (T3SSs) to inject virulence factors into the host cell and colonize the host. In turn, a subset of cytosolic immune receptors respond to T3SS ligands by forming multimeric signaling complexes called inflammasomes, which activate caspases that induce interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokine release and an inflammatory form of cell death called pyroptosis. Human macrophages mount a multifaceted inflammasome response to Salmonella infection that ultimately restricts intracellular bacterial replication. However, how inflammasomes restrict Salmonella replication remains unknown. We find that caspase-1 is essential for mediating inflammasome responses to Salmonella and subsequent restriction of bacterial replication within human macrophages, with caspase-4 contributing as well. We also demonstrate that the downstream pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD) and ninjurin-1 (NINJ1), a mediator of terminal cell lysis, play a role in controlling Salmonella replication in human macrophages. Notably, in the absence of inflammasome responses, we observed hyperreplication of Salmonella within the cytosol of infected cells, and we also observed increased bacterial replication within vacuoles, suggesting that inflammasomes control Salmonella replication primarily within the cytosol and also within vacuoles. These findings reveal that inflammatory caspases and pyroptotic factors mediate inflammasome responses that restrict the subcellular localization of intracellular Salmonella replication within human macrophages.

Abstract
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are interferon-inducible GTPases that confer protective immunity against a variety of intracellular pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and protozoan parasites. GBP2 is one of the two highly inducible GBPs, yet the precise mechanisms underlying the activation and regulation of GBP2, in particular the nucleotide-induced conformational changes in GBP2, remain poorly understood. In this study, we elucidate the structural dynamics of GBP2 upon nucleotide binding through crystallographic analysis. GBP2 dimerizes upon GTP hydrolysis and returns to monomer state once GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP. By determining the crystal structures of GBP2 G domain (GBP2GD) in complex with GDP and nucleotide-free full-length GBP2, we unveil distinct conformational states adopted by the nucleotide-binding pocket and distal regions of the protein. Our findings demonstrate that the binding of GDP induces a distinct closed conformation both in the G motifs and the distal regions in the G domain. The conformational changes in the G domain are further transmitted to the C-terminal helical domain, leading to large-scale conformational rearrangements. Through comparative analysis, we identify subtle but critical differences in the nucleotide-bound states of GBP2, providing insights into the molecular basis of its dimer-monomer transition and enzymatic activity. Overall, our study expands the understanding of the nucleotide-induced conformational changes in GBP2, shedding light on the structural dynamics governing its functional versatility. These findings pave the way for future investigations aimed at elucidating the precise molecular mechanisms underlying GBP2's role in the immune response and may facilitate the development of targeted therapeutic strategies against intracellular pathogens.

Abstract
Mounting evidence shows sex-related differences in the experience of pain with women suffering more from chronic pain than men. Yet, our understanding of the biological basis underlying those differences remains incomplete. Using an adapted model of formalin-induced chemical/inflammatory pain, we report here that in contrast to male mice, females distinctly display two types of nocifensive responses to formalin, distinguishable by the duration of the interphase. Females in proestrus and in metestrus exhibited respectively a short-lasting and a long-lasting interphase, underscoring the influence of the estrus cycle on the duration of the interphase, rather than the transcriptional content of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (DHSC). Additionally, deep RNA-sequencing of DHSC showed that formalin-evoked pain was accompanied by a male-preponderant enrichment in genes associated with the immune modulation of pain, revealing an unanticipated contribution of neutrophils. Taking advantage of the male-enriched transcript encoding the neutrophil associated protein Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) and using flow cytometry, we confirmed that formalin triggered the recruitment of LCN2-expressing neutrophils in the pia mater of spinal meninges, preferentially in males. Our data consolidate the contribution of female estrus cycle to pain perception and provide evidence supporting a sex-specific immune regulation of formalin-evoked pain.

Abstract
Mouse guanylate-binding proteins (mGBPs) are recruited to various invasive pathogens, thereby conferring cell-autonomous immunity against these pathogens. However, whether and how human GBPs (hGBPs) target M. tuberculosis (Mtb) and L. monocytogenes (Lm) remains unclear. Here, we describe hGBPs association with intracellular Mtb and Lm, which was dependent on the ability of bacteria to induce disruption of phagosomal membranes. hGBP1 formed puncta structures which were recruited to ruptured endolysosomes. Furthermore, both GTP-binding and isoprenylation of hGBP1 were required for its puncta formation. hGBP1 was required for the recovery of endolysosomal integrity. In vitro lipid-binding assays demonstrated direct binding of hGBP1 to PI4P. Upon endolysosomal damage, hGBP1 was targeted to PI4P and PI(3,4)P2-positive endolysosomes in cells. Finally, live-cell imaging demonstrated that hGBP1 was recruited to damaged endolysosomes, and consequently mediated endolysosomal repair. In summary, we uncover a novel interferon-inducible mechanism in which hGBP1 contributes to the repair of damaged phagosomes/endolysosomes.

Abstract
Goldfish (Carassius auratus) have been employed as a model organism to investigate the innate immune system and host-pathogen interactions. A Gram-negative bacterium called Aeromonas hydrophila has been found to cause mass mortality due to infection in a wide variety of fish species in the aquatic system. In this study, damages in Bowman's capsule, inflammatory tubular (proximal and distilled convoluted) structure, and glomerular necrosis were observed in A. hydrophila-infected head kidney of goldfish. To increase the better understanding of immune mechanisms of host defense against A. hydrophila, we performed a transcriptome analysis in head kidney of goldfish at 3 and 7 days of post-infection (dpi). Comparing to the control group, 4638 and 2580 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed at 3 and 7 dpi, respectively. The DEGs were subsequently enriched in multiple immune-related pathways including Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, Insulin signaling pathway, and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. The expression profile of immune-related genes such as TRAIL, CCL19, VDJ recombination-activating protein 1-like, Rag-1, and STING was validated by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, the levels of immune-related enzyme (LZM, AKP, SOD, and CAT) activities were examined at 3 and 7 dpi. The knowledge gained from the current study will be helpful for better understanding of early immune response in goldfish after A. hydrophila challenge, which will aid in future research on prevention strategies in teleost.

Abstract
Many subversive mechanisms promote the occurrence and development of chronic infectious diseases and cancer, among which the down-regulated expression of immune-activating receptors and the enhanced expression of immune-inhibitory receptors accelerate the occurrence and progression of the disease. Recently, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of tumors in multiple organs. However, the expression of immune checkpoint molecules on natural killer (NK) cells by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and its impact on NK cell effector functions have been poorly studied. In this review, we focus on what is currently known about the expression of various immune checkpoints in NK cells following Mtb infection and how it alters NK cell-mediated host cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. Unraveling the function of NK cells after the infection of host cells by Mtb is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the innate immune mechanism of NK cells involved in tuberculosis and the evaluation of the efficacy of immunotherapies using immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat tuberculosis. In view of some similarities in the immune characteristics of T cells and NK cells, we reviewed the molecular mechanism of the interaction between T cells and Mtb, which can help us to further understand and explore the specific interaction mechanism between NK cells and Mtb.

Abstract
Many interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes are upregulated within host cells following infection with influenza and other viruses. While the antiviral activity of some IFN-stimulated genes, such as the IFN-inducible GTPase myxoma resistance (Mx)1 protein 1, has been well defined, less is known regarding the antiviral activities of related IFN-inducible GTPases of the guanylate-binding protein (GBP) family, particularly mouse GBPs, where mouse models can be used to assess their antiviral properties in vivo. Herein, we demonstrate that mouse GBP1 (mGBP1) was upregulated in a mouse airway epithelial cell line (LA-4 cells) following pretreatment with mouse IFNα or infection by influenza A virus (IAV). Whereas doxycycline-inducible expression of mouse Mx1 (mMx1) in LA-4 cells resulted in reduced susceptibility to IAV infection and reduced viral growth, inducible mGBP1 did not. Moreover, primary cells isolated from mGBP1-deficient mice (mGBP1-/- ) showed no difference in susceptibility to IAV and mGBP1-/- macrophages showed no defect in IAV-induced NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome activation. After intranasal IAV infection, mGBP1-/- mice also showed no differences in virus replication or induction of inflammatory responses in the airways during infection. Thus, using complementary approaches such as mGBP1 overexpression, cells from mGBP1-/- mice and intranasal infection of mGBP1-/- we demonstrate that mGBP1 does not play a major role in modulating IAV infection in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract
Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are prominent regulators of immunity not known to be required for nuclear envelope formation and morphogenesis. Here we identify the Arabidopsis GBP orthologue AtGBPL3 as a lamina component with essential functions in mitotic nuclear envelope reformation, nuclear morphogenesis and transcriptional repression during interphase. AtGBPL3 is preferentially expressed in mitotically active root tips, accumulates at the nuclear envelope and interacts with centromeric chromatin as well as with lamina components transcriptionally repressing pericentromeric chromatin. Reduced expression of AtGBPL3 or associated lamina components similarly altered nuclear morphology and caused overlapping transcriptional deregulation. Investigating the dynamics of AtGBPL3-GFP and other nuclear markers during mitosis (1) revealed that AtGBPL3 accumulation on the surface of daughter nuclei precedes nuclear envelope reformation and (2) uncovered defects in this process in roots of AtGBPL3 mutants, which cause programmed cell death and impair growth. AtGBPL3 functions established by these observations are unique among dynamin-family large GTPases.

Abstract
Innate immune signaling protects against pathogens, controls hematopoietic development, and functions in oncogenesis, yet the relationship between these mechanisms is undefined. Downregulating the GATA2 transcription factor in fetal hematopoietic progenitor cells upregulates genes encoding innate immune regulators, increases Interferon-γ (IFNγ) signaling, and disrupts differentiation. We demonstrate that deletion of an enhancer that confers GATA2 expression in fetal progenitors elevated Toll-like receptor (TLR) TLR1/2 and TLR2/6 expression and signaling. Rescue by expressing GATA2 downregulated elevated TLR signaling. IFNγ amplified TLR1/2 and TLR2/6 signaling in GATA2-deficient progenitors, synergistically activating cytokine/chemokine genes and elevating cytokine/chemokine production in myeloid cell progeny. Genomic analysis of how innate immune signaling remodels the GATA2-deficient progenitor transcriptome revealed hypersensitive responses at innate immune genes harboring motifs for signal-dependent transcription factors and factors not linked to these mechanisms. As GATA2 establishes a transcriptome that constrains innate immune signaling, insufficient GATA2 renders fetal progenitor cells hypersensitive to innate immune signaling.

Chemotherapy-induced phlebitis via the GBP5/NLRP3 inflammasome axis and the therapeutic effect of aescin. Br J Pharmacol 2023; 180:1132-1147. [PMID: 36479683 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intravenous infusion of chemotherapy drugs can cause severe chemotherapy-induced phlebitis (CIP) in patients. However, the underlying mechanism of CIP development remains unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH RNA-sequencing analysis was used to identify potential disease targets in CIP. Guanylate binding protein-5 (GBP5) genetic deletion approaches also were used to investigate the role of GBP5 in NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) primed murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) induced by vinorelbine (VIN) in vitro and in mouse models of VIN-induced CIP in vivo. The anti-CIP effect of aescin was evaluated, both in vivo and in vivo. KEY RESULTS Here, we show that the expression of GBP5 was upregulated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CIP patients. Genetic ablation of GBP5 in murine macrophages significantly alleviated VIN-induced CIP in the experimental mouse model. Mechanistically, GBP5 contributed to the inflammatory responses through activating NLRP3 inflammasome and driving the production of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Moreover, aescin, a mixture of triterpene saponins extracted from horse chestnut seed, can alleviate CIP by inhibiting the GBP5/NLRP3 axis. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These findings suggest that GBP5 is an important regulator of NLRP3 inflammasome in CIP mouse model. Our work further reveals that aescin may serve as a promising candidate in the clinical treatment of CIP.

Abstract
Ovine brucellosis is a global zoonotic disease of sheep caused by Brucella melitensis, which inflicts a significant burden on human and animal health. Brucella suis strain S2 (B. suis S2) is a smooth live attenuated vaccine for the prevention of ovine brucellosis in China. However, no previous studies have assessed the immunogenicity of B. suis S2 vaccine after oral immunization in sheep. Here, we attempted to evaluate the ovine immune response over the course of B. suis S2 immunization and to identify in vivo predictors for vaccine development. Body temperature, serum Brucella antibodies, serum cytokines (IL-12p70 and interferon [IFN]-γ), and bacterial load in the mandibular lymph nodes (LN), superficial cervical LN, superficial inguinal LN, and spleen were investigated to determine the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. The abnormal body temperature of sheep occurred within 8 days post-infection (dpi). Brucella suis S2 persisted for a short time (< 21 dpi) in the mandibular LN. The highest level of IL-12p70 was observed at 9 dpi, whereas serum IFN-γ levels peaked at 12 dpi. Transcriptome analysis and quantitative reverse transcription PCR were performed to determine gene expression profiles in the mandibular LN of sheep. Antigen processing and presentation pathway was the dominant pathway related to the dataset. Our studies suggest that the immune response in ovine LN resembled type 1 immunity with the secretion of IL-12p70 and IFN-γ after B.suis S2 immunization and the vaccine may eliminate Brucella via stimulation of M1 macrophages through the course of Th cells.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV), is an economically significant contagious disease. Traditional approaches based on vaccines or medicines were challenging to control PRRSV due to the diversity of viruses. Different breeds of pigs infected with PRRSV have been reported to have different immune responses. However, due to the complexity of interaction mechanism between host and PRRSV, the genetic mechanism leading to PRRSV susceptibility/resistance in various pig breeds is still unclear. Herein, the role of host genetic components in PRRSV susceptibility is systematically described, and the molecular mechanisms by which host genetic factors such as SNPs, cytokines, receptor molecules, intestinal flora, and non-coding RNAs regulate PRRSV susceptibility/resistance. Therefore, improving the resistance to disease of individual animals through disease-resistance breeding technology is of profound significance for uplifting the sustainable and healthy development of the pig industry.

Abstract
Despite the various medications used in clinics, the efforts to develop more effective treatments for depression continue to increase in the past decades mainly because of the treatment-resistant population, and the testing of several hypotheses- and target-based treatments. Undesirable side effects and unresponsiveness to current medications fuel the drive to solve this top global health problem. In this study, we focused on neuroinflammatory response-mediated depression which represents a cluster of depression etiology both in animal models and humans. Several meta-analyses reported that proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were increased in major depressive disorder patients. Inflammatory mediators implicated in depression include type-I interferon and inflammasome pathways. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of neuroinflammatory cascades underlying the pathophysiology of depression, we introduced hycanthone, an antischistosomal drug, to check whether it can counteract depressive-like behaviors in vivo and normalize the inflammation-induced changes in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment increased proinflammatory cytokine expression in the murine microglial cells as well as the stimulation of type I interferon-related pathways that are directly or indirectly regulated by Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) activation. Hycanthone treatment attenuated those changes possibly by inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway and inflammasome activation. Hycanthone also ameliorated depressive-like behaviors by LPS. Taken together, we suggest that the inhibitory action of hycanthone against the interferon pathway leading to attenuation of depressive-like behaviors can be a novel therapeutic mechanism for treating depression.

Abstract
There is a limited understanding of host defense mechanisms targeting intracellular pathogens that proliferate in a lysosome. Coxiella burnetii is a model bacterial pathogen capable of replicating in the hydrolytic and acidic environment of the lysosome. It has been shown that gamma interferon (IFNγ)-stimulated host cells restrict C. burnetii replication by a mechanism that involves host IDO1 depletion of tryptophan. Host cells deficient in IDO1 activity, however, retain the ability to restrict C. burnetii replication when stimulated with IFNγ, which suggests additional mechanisms of host defense. This study identified syntaxin 11 (STX11) as a host protein that contributes to IFNγ-mediated suppression of C. burnetii replication. STX11 is a SNARE protein; SNARE proteins are proteins that mediate fusion of host vesicles with specific subcellular organelles. Depletion of STX11 using either small interfering RNA (siRNA)- or CRISPR-based approaches enhanced C. burnetii replication intracellularly. Stable expression of STX11 reduced C. burnetii replication in epithelial cells and macrophages, which indicates that this STX11-dependent cell-autonomous response is operational in multiple cell types and can function independently of other IFNγ-induced factors. Fluorescently tagged STX11 localized to the Coxiella-containing vacuole (CCV), and STX11 restriction was found to involve an interaction with STX8. Thus, STX11 regulates a vesicle fusion pathway that limits replication of this intracellular pathogen in a lysosome-derived organelle. IMPORTANCE Cell intrinsic defense mechanisms are used by eukaryotic cells to restrict the replication and dissemination of pathogens. This study identified a human protein called syntaxin 11 (STX11) as a host restriction factor that inhibits the intracellular replication of Coxiella burnetii. Syntaxins regulate the delivery of cargo inside vesicles by promoting specific membrane fusion events between donor and acceptor vesicles. Data presented here demonstrate that STX11 regulates an immunological defense pathway that controls replication of pathogens in lysosome-derived organelles, which provides new insight into the function of this SNARE protein.

Abstract
Inborn errors of human IFN-γ-dependent macrophagic immunity underlie mycobacterial diseases, whereas inborn errors of IFN-α/β-dependent intrinsic immunity underlie viral diseases. Both types of IFNs induce the transcription factor IRF1. We describe unrelated children with inherited complete IRF1 deficiency and early-onset, multiple, life-threatening diseases caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria and related intramacrophagic pathogens. These children have no history of severe viral disease, despite exposure to many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which is life-threatening in individuals with impaired IFN-α/β immunity. In leukocytes or fibroblasts stimulated in vitro, IRF1-dependent responses to IFN-γ are, both quantitatively and qualitatively, much stronger than those to IFN-α/β. Moreover, IRF1-deficient mononuclear phagocytes do not control mycobacteria and related pathogens normally when stimulated with IFN-γ. By contrast, IFN-α/β-dependent intrinsic immunity to nine viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, is almost normal in IRF1-deficient fibroblasts. Human IRF1 is essential for IFN-γ-dependent macrophagic immunity to mycobacteria, but largely redundant for IFN-α/β-dependent antiviral immunity.

[PMID: 36769182 PMCID: PMC9917499 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Cell-intrinsic immune mechanisms control intracellular pathogens that infect eukaryotes. The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) evolved to withstand cell-autonomous immunity to cause persistent infections and disease. A potent inducer of cell-autonomous immunity is the lymphocyte-derived cytokine IFNγ. While the production of IFNγ by T cells is essential to protect against Mtb, it is not capable of fully eradicating Mtb infection. This suggests that Mtb evades a subset of IFNγ-mediated antimicrobial responses, yet what mechanisms Mtb resists remains unclear. The IFNγ-inducible Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are key host defense proteins able to control infections with intracellular pathogens. GBPs were previously shown to directly restrict Mycobacterium bovis BCG yet their role during Mtb infection has remained unknown. Here, we examine the importance of a cluster of five GBPs on mouse chromosome 3 in controlling Mycobacterial infection. While M. bovis BCG is directly restricted by GBPs, we find that the GBPs on chromosome 3 do not contribute to the control of Mtb replication or the associated host response to infection. The differential effects of GBPs during Mtb versus M. bovis BCG infection is at least partially explained by the absence of the ESX1 secretion system from M. bovis BCG, since Mtb mutants lacking the ESX1 secretion system become similarly susceptible to GBP-mediated immune defense. Therefore, this specific genetic interaction between the murine host and Mycobacteria reveals a novel function for the ESX1 virulence system in the evasion of GBP-mediated immunity.

Abstract
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are a group of GTPases that are induced by interferon-[Formula: see text] and are crucial components of cell-autonomous immunity against intracellular pathogens. Here, we examine murine GBP2 (mGBP2), which we have previously shown to be an essential effector protein for the control of Toxoplasma gondii replication, with its recruitment through the membrane of the parasitophorous vacuole and its involvement in the destruction of this membrane likely playing a role. The overall aim of our work is to provide a molecular-level understanding of the mutual influences of mGBP2 and the parasitophorous vacuole membrane. To this end, we performed lipid-binding assays which revealed that mGBP2 has a particular affinity for cardiolipin. This observation was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using giant unilamellar vesicles of different lipid compositions. To obtain an understanding of the protein dynamics and how this is affected by GTP binding, mGBP2 dimerization, and membrane binding, assuming that each of these steps are relevant for the function of the protein, we carried out standard as well as replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations with an accumulated simulation time of more than 30 μs. The main findings from these simulations are that mGBP2 features a large-scale hinge motion in its M/E domain, which is present in each of the studied protein states. When bound to a cardiolipin-containing membrane, this hinge motion is particularly pronounced, leading to an up and down motion of the M/E domain on the membrane, which did not occur on a membrane without cardiolipin. Our prognosis is that this up and down motion has the potential to destroy the membrane following the formation of supramolecular mGBP2 complexes on the membrane surface.

Abstract
Dengue virus is reported to activate endothelial cells (EC), but the precise cause for severe dengue (SD) is not known. Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are IFN-inducible proteins secreted by ECs and are involved in the anti-oxidant and anti-viral response. The involvement of GBPs in the pathogenesis of dengue remains under explored. In the present study, we quantified the mRNA and protein levels of GBP1 and 2 during acute, defervescence and convalescent phase in SD-10, dengue without warning sign-15 and dengue with warning sign-25 compared to other febrile illnesses-10 and healthy controls-8 using RT-PCR and ELISA respectively. Lipid peroxidation in plasma samples were measured using the Kei Satoh method. Protein and DNA oxidation were determined by ELISA. The efficacy of the proteins in predicting disease severity was done by Support Vector Machine (SVM) model. A significant (P ≤ 0.01) decrease in the levels of mRNA and protein of both GBP1 and GBP2 was observed during defervescence in both SD and DWW cases. The levels were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) tapered off in SD cases from acute till critical phases compared to other study groups. DNA, protein and lipid oxidation markers showed an increasing trend in SD (P ≤ 0.01). Both GBP1 & 2 were found to be negatively associated plasma leakage and oxidative stress markers. EC's activated with SD serum showed a reduced expression of GBP 1 and 2. Nevertheless, the SVM model revealed that plasma levels of proteins along with clinical symptoms could predict the disease outcomes with higher precision. This is the first study reporting a downregulated expression of GBP1 & 2 and their association with oxidative stress and plasma leakage in dengue cases. This suggests the importance of GBPs in regulating disease manifestation. However, further investigations are required to ascertain its role as a biomarker or therapeutic target in dengue infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perturbations in the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are accompanied by a decline in immune homeostasis during ageing, characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation and enhanced innate immunity. Genetic insights into the interaction between age-related alterations in the gut microbiota and immune function remain largely unexplored. METHODS We investigated publicly available transcriptomic gut profiles of young germ-free mouse hosts transplanted with old donor gut microbiota to identify immune-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Literature screening of the Gene Expression Omnibus and PubMed identified one murine (Mus musculus) gene expression dataset (GSE130026) that included small intestine tissues from young (5-6 weeks old) germ-free mice hosts that were compared following 8 weeks after transplantation with either old (~ 24-month old; n = 5) or young (5-6 weeks old; n = 4) mouse donor gut microbiota. RESULTS A total of 112 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and used to construct a gut network of encoded proteins, in which DEGs were functionally annotated as being involved in an immune process based on gene ontology. The association between the expression of immune-process DEGs and abundance of immune infiltrates from gene signatures in normal colorectal tissues was estimated from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. The analysis revealed a 25-gene signature of immune-associated DEGs and their expression profile was positively correlated with naïve T-cell, effector memory T-cell, central memory T-cell, resident memory T-cell, exhausted T-cell, resting Treg T-cell, effector Treg T-cell and Th1-like colorectal gene signatures. Conclusions These genes may have a potential role as candidate markers of immune dysregulation during gut microbiota ageing. Moreover, these DEGs may provide insights into the altered immune response to microbiota in the ageing gut, including reduced antigen presentation and alterations in cytokine and chemokine production.

Abstract
Infection with the intracellular bacterium Coxiella (C.) burnetii can cause chronic Q fever with severe complications and limited treatment options. Here, we identify the enzyme cis-aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1 or IRG1) and its product itaconate as protective host immune pathway in Q fever. Infection of mice with C. burnetii induced expression of several anti-microbial candidate genes, including Acod1. In macrophages, Acod1 was essential for restricting C. burnetii replication, while other antimicrobial pathways were dispensable. Intratracheal or intraperitoneal infection of Acod1-/- mice caused increased C. burnetii burden, weight loss and stronger inflammatory gene expression. Exogenously added itaconate restored pathogen control in Acod1-/- mouse macrophages and blocked replication in human macrophages. In axenic cultures, itaconate directly inhibited growth of C. burnetii. Finally, treatment of infected Acod1-/- mice with itaconate efficiently reduced the tissue pathogen load. Thus, ACOD1-derived itaconate is a key factor in the macrophage-mediated defense against C. burnetii and may be exploited for novel therapeutic approaches in chronic Q fever.

Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Tgf-β-Mediated Noncoding RNA Regulatory Mechanisms Involved in DNA Damage in the 661W Photoreceptor Cell Line. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:2140. [PMID: 36421815 PMCID: PMC9691224 DOI: 10.3390/genes13112140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Transforming growth factor β (Tgf-β), a pleiotropic cytokine, can enhance DNA repair in various cells, including cancer cells and neurons. The noncoding regulatory system plays an important role in Tgf-β-mediated biological activities, whereas few studies have explored its role in DNA damage and repair. In this study, we suggested that Tgf-β improved while its inhibitor LSKL impaired DNA repair and cell viability in UV-irradiated 661W cells. Moreover, RNA-seq was carried out, and a total of 106 differentially expressed (DE)-mRNAs and 7 DE-lncRNAs were identified between UV/LSKL and UV/ctrl 661W cells. Gene ontology and Reactome analysis confirmed that the DE-mRNAs were enriched in multiple DNA damaged- and repair-related biological functions and pathways. We then constructed a ceRNA network that included 3 lncRNAs, 19 miRNAs, and 29 mRNAs with a bioinformatics prediction. Through RT-qPCR and further functional verification, 2 Tgf-β-mediated ceRNA axes (Gm20559-miR-361-5p-Oas2/Gbp7) were further identified. Gm20559 knockout or miR-361-5p mimics markedly impaired DNA repair and cell viability in UV-irradiated 661W cells, which confirms the bioinformatics results. In summary, this study revealed that Tgf-β could reduce DNA damage in 661W cells, provided a Tgf-β-associated ceRNA network for DNA damage and repair, and suggested that the molecular signatures may be useful candidates as targets of treatment for photoreceptor pathology.

Abstract
Methods Three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets (GSE19491, GSE98461, and GSE152532) were downloaded, with GSE19491 and GSE98461 then being merged to form a training dataset. Hub genes capable of differentiating between ATB and LTBI were then identified through differential expression analyses and a WGCNA analysis of this training dataset. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were then used to gauge to the diagnostic accuracy of these hub genes in the test dataset (GSE152532). Gene expression-based immune cell infiltration and the relationship between such infiltration and hub gene expression were further assessed via a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Results In total, 485 differentially expressed genes were analyzed, with the WGCNA approach yielding 8 coexpression models. Of these, the black module was the most closely correlated with ATB. In total, five hub genes (FBXO6, ATF3, GBP1, GBP4, and GBP5) were identified as potential biomarkers associated with LTBI progression to ATB based on a combination of differential expression and LASSO analyses. The area under the ROC curve values for these five genes ranged from 0.8 to 0.9 in the test dataset, and ssGSEA revealed the expression of these genes to be negatively correlated with lymphocyte activity but positively correlated with myeloid and inflammatory cell activity. Conclusion The five hub genes identified in this study may play a novel role in tuberculosis-related immunopathology and offer value as novel biomarkers differentiating LTBI from ATB.

Abstract
The dysfunctional immune response and multiple organ injury in sepsis is a recurrent theme impacting prognosis and mortality, while the lung is the first organ invaded by sepsis. To systematically elucidate the transcriptomic changes in the main constituent cells of sepsis-injured lung tissue, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to the lung tissue samples from septic and control mice and created a comprehensive cellular landscape with 25044 cells, including 11317 immune and 13727 non-immune cells. Sepsis alters the composition of all cellular compartments, particularly neutrophils, monocytes, T cells, endothelial, and fibroblasts populations. Our study firstly provides a single-cell view of cellular changes in septic lung injury. Furthermore, by integrating bulk sequencing data and single-cell data with the Scissors-method, we identified the cell subpopulations that are most associated with septic lung injury phenotype. The phenotypic-related cell subpopulations identified by Scissors-method were consistent with the cell subpopulations with significant composition changes. The function analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the cell-cell interaction analysis further reveal the important role of these phenotype-related subpopulations in septic lung injury. Our research provides a rich resource for understanding cellular changes and provides insights into the contributions of specific cell types to the biological processes that take place during sepsis-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Inborn errors of immunity are known to influence susceptibility to mycobacterial infections. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic profile of nine patients with mycobacterial infections (eight with BCGitis and one with disseminated tuberculosis) from the Republic of Moldova using whole-exome sequencing. In total, 12 variants in eight genes known to be associated with Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease (MSMD) were detected in six out of nine patients examined. In particular, a novel splice site mutation c.373–2A>C in STAT1 gene was found and functionally confirmed in a patient with disseminated tuberculosis. Trio analysis was possible for seven out of nine patients, and resulted in 23 candidate variants in 15 novel genes. Four of these genes - GBP2, HEATR3, PPP1R9B and KDM6A were further prioritized, considering their elevated expression in immune-related tissues. Compound heterozygosity was found in GBP2 in a single patient, comprising a maternally inherited missense variant c.412G>A/p.(Ala138Thr) predicted to be deleterious and a paternally inherited intronic mutation c.1149+14T>C. Functional studies demonstrated that the intronic mutation affects splicing and the level of transcript. Finally, we analyzed pathogenicity of variant combinations in gene pairs and identified five patients with putative oligogenic inheritance. In summary, our study expands the spectrum of genetic variation contributing to susceptibility to mycobacterial infections in children and provides insight into the complex/oligogenic disease-causing mode.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved process that utilizes lysosomes to selectively degrade a variety of intracellular cargo, thus providing quality control over cellular components and maintaining cellular regulatory functions. Autophagy is triggered by multiple stimuli ranging from nutrient starvation to microbial infection. Autophagy extensively shapes and modulates the inflammatory response, the concerted action of immune cells, and secreted mediators aimed to eradicate a microbial infection or to heal sterile tissue damage. Here, we first review how autophagy affects innate immune signaling, cell-autonomous immune defense, and adaptive immunity. Then, we discuss the role of non-canonical autophagy in microbial infections and inflammation. Finally, we review how crosstalk between autophagy and inflammation influences infectious, metabolic, and autoimmune disorders.

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae infection of pulmonary macrophages drives neutrophilic inflammation in severe asthma. Allergy 2022; 77:2961-2973. [PMID: 35570583 PMCID: PMC9796932 DOI: 10.1111/all.15375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a respiratory tract pathobiont that chronically colonizes the airways of asthma patients and is associated with severe, neutrophilic disease phenotypes. The mechanism of NTHi airway persistence is not well understood, but accumulating evidence suggests NTHi can persist within host airway immune cells such as macrophages. We hypothesized that NTHi infection of pulmonary macrophages drives neutrophilic inflammation in severe asthma. METHODS Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from 25 severe asthma patients were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation to quantify NTHi presence. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed on RNASeq data from NTHi-infected monocyte-derived macrophages to identify transcriptomic networks associated with NTHi infection. RESULTS NTHi was detected in 56% of BAL samples (NTHi+) and was associated with longer asthma duration (34 vs 22.5 years, p = .0436) and higher sputum neutrophil proportion (67% vs 25%, p = .0462). WGCNA identified a transcriptomic network of immune-related macrophage genes significantly associated with NTHi infection, including upregulation of T17 inflammatory mediators and neutrophil chemoattractants IL1B, IL8, IL23 and CCL20 (all p < .05). Macrophage network genes SGPP2 (p = .0221), IL1B (p = .0014) and GBP1 (p = .0477) were more highly expressed in NTHi+ BAL and moderately correlated with asthma duration (IL1B; rho = 0.41, p = .041) and lower prebronchodilator FEV1/FVC% (GBP1; rho = -0.43, p = .046 and IL1B; rho = -0.42, p = .055). CONCLUSIONS NTHi persistence with pulmonary macrophages may contribute to chronic airway inflammation and T17 responses in severe asthma, which can lead to decreased lung function and reduced steroid responsiveness. Identifying therapeutic strategies to reduce the burden of NTHi in asthma could improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, interest in the use of herbs and phytogenic compounds has grown because of their potential role in the production and health of livestock animals. Among these compounds, several tannins have been tested in poultry, but those from chestnut wood and grape-industry byproducts have attracted remarkable interest. Thus, the present study aimed to gain further insights into the mechanisms involved in the response to the dietary supplementation with extracts of chestnut wood or grape pomace. To this purpose, 864 broiler chickens were fed a control diet (C) or the same diet supplemented 0.2% chestnut wood (CN) extract or 0.2% grape pomace (GP) extract from hatching until commercial slaughtering (at 45 days of age) to assess their effects on performance, meat quality, jejunum immune response and whole-transcriptome profiling in both sexes at different ages (15 and 35 d). RESULTS Final live weight and daily weight gain significantly increased (P < 0.01) in chickens fed GP diets compared to CN and C diets. The villi height was lower in chickens fed the CN diet than in those fed the C diet (P < 0.001); moreover, a lower density of CD45+ cells was observed in chickens fed the CN diet (P < 0.05) compared to those fed the C and GP diets. Genes involved in either pro- or anti-inflammatory response pathways, and antimicrobial and antioxidant responses were affected by GP and CN diets. There was no effect of the dietary treatment on meat quality. Regarding sex, in addition to a lower growth performance, females showed a lower occurrence of wooden breast (16.7% vs. 55.6%; P < 0.001) and a higher occurrence of spaghetti meat (48.6% vs. 4.17%; P < 0.001) in pectoralis major muscles after slaughtering than those in males. Based on the results of whole-transcriptome profiling, a significant activation of some molecular pathways related to immunity was observed in males compared with those of females. CONCLUSIONS The GP supplementation improved chicken performance and promoted immune responses in the intestinal mucosa; moreover, age and sex were associated with the most relevant transcriptional changes.

In teleost fish, the nucleotide polymorphisms of histone H2A significantly affect the resistance or susceptibility of zebrafish to Edwardsiella piscicida infection. Whether histone H2A variants can enhance the resistance of grass carp to Flavobacterium columnare infection remains unclear. Here, the effects of 7 previously obtained variants (gcH2A-1~gcH2A-7) and 5 novel histone H2A variants (gcH2A-11, gcH2A-13~gcH2A-16) in response to F. columnare infection were investigated. It was found that these histone H2A variants could be divided into type I and II. Among them, 5 histone H2A variants had no any effects on the F. columnare infection, however 7 histone H2A variants had antibacterial activity against F. columnare infection. The gcH2A-4 and gcH2A-11, whose antibacterial activity was the strongest in type I and II histone H2A variants respectively, were picked out for yeast expression. Transcriptome data for the samples from the intestines of grass carp immunized with the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing PYD1, gcH2A-4 or gcH2A-11 revealed that 5 and 12 immune-related signaling pathways were significantly enriched by gcH2A-4 or gcH2A-11, respectively. For the engineered S. cerevisiae expressing gcH2A-4, NOD-like receptor and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways were enriched for up-regulated DEGs. Besides NOD-like receptor and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways, the engineered S. cerevisiae expressing gcH2A-11 also activated Cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway, RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway and C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway. Furthermore, grass carp were immunized with the engineered S. cerevisiae expressing PYD1, gcH2A-4 or gcH2A-11 for 1 month and challenged with F. columnare. These grass carp immunized with gcH2A-4 or gcH2A-11 showed lower mortality and fewer numbers of F. columnare than did the control group. All these results suggest that gcH2A-4 and gcH2A-11 play important roles in evoking the innate immune responses and enhancing disease resistance of grass carp against F. columnare infection.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus non-structural protein 4 cleaves guanylate-binding protein 1 via its cysteine proteinase activity to antagonize GBP1 antiviral effect. Vet Res 2022; 53:55. [PMID: 35804432 PMCID: PMC9264745 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-022-01071-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly infectious disease caused by PRRS virus (PRRSV) that causes great economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. PRRSV has been recognized to modulate the host antiviral interferon (IFN) response and downstream interferon-stimulated gene expression to intercept the antiviral effect of host cells. Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are IFN-inducible GTPases that exert broad antiviral activity against several DNA and RNA viruses, of which GBP1 is considered to play a pivotal role. However, the role of GBP1 in PRRSV replication remains unknown. The present study showed that overexpression of GBP1 notably inhibited PRRSV infection, while the knockdown of endogenous GBP1 promoted PRRSV infection. The K51 and R48 residues of GBP1 were essential for the suppression of PRRSV replication. Furthermore, GBP1 abrogated PRRSV replication by disrupting normal fibrous actin structures, which was indispensable for effective PRRSV replication. By using a co-immunoprecipitation assay, we found that GBP1 interacted with the non-structural protein 4 (nsp4) protein of PRRSV, and this interaction was mapped to the N-terminal globular GTPase domain of GBP1 and amino acids 1–69 of nsp4. PRRSV infection significantly downregulated GBP1 protein expression in Marc-145 cells, and nsp4, a 3C-like serine proteinase, was responsible for GBP1 cleavage, and the cleaved site was located at glutamic acid 338 of GBP1. Additionally, the anti-PRRSV activity of GBP1 was antagonized by nsp4. Taken together, these findings expand our understanding of the sophisticated interaction between PRRSV and host cells, PRRSV pathogenesis and its mechanisms of evading the host immune response.

Role of GBP1 in innate immunity and potential as a tuberculosis biomarker. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11097. [PMID: 35773466 PMCID: PMC9247026 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15482-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem of major concern. Identification of immune biomarkers may facilitate the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of TB. We used public RNA-sequencing datasets of patients with TB and healthy controls to identify differentially expressed genes and their associated functional networks. GBP1 expression was consistently significantly upregulated in TB, and 4492 differentially expressed genes were simultaneously associated with TB and high GBP1 expression. Weighted gene correlation analysis identified 12 functional modules. Modules positively correlated with TB and high GBP1 expression were associated with the innate immune response, neutrophil activation, neutrophil-mediated immunity, and NOD receptor signaling pathway. Eleven hub genes (GBP1, HLA-B, ELF4, HLA-E, IFITM2, TNFRSF14, CD274, AIM2, CFB, RHOG, and HORMAD1) were identified. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator model based on hub genes accurately predicted the occurrence of TB (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.97). The GBP1-module-pathway network based on the STRING database showed that GBP1 expression correlated with the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (GBP5, BATF2, EPSTI1, RSAD2, IFI44L, IFIT3, and OAS3). Our study suggests GBP1 as an optimal diagnostic biomarker for TB, further indicating an association of the AIM2 inflammasome signaling pathway in TB pathology.

Abstract
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are a class of interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes with well-established activity against viruses, intracellular bacteria, and parasites. The effect of epigenetic modification on GBP activity upon Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is poorly understood. In this study, we found that Mtb infection can significantly increase the expression of GBPs. Class Ⅰ histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) MS-275 can selectively inhibit GBP1 expression, ultimately affecting the release of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and suppressing Mtb intracellular survival. Moreover, interfering with GBP1 expression could reduce the production of IL-1β and the level of cleaved-caspase-3 in response to Mtb infection. GBP1 silencing did not affect Mtb survival. Besides, using the bisulfite sequencing PCR, we showed that the CpG site of the GBP1 promoter was hypermethylated, and the methylation status of the GBP1 promoter did not change significantly upon Mtb infection. Overall, this study sheds light on the role of GBP in Mtb infection and provides a link between epigenetics and GBP1 activity.

Antibody-Mediated LILRB2-Receptor Antagonism Induces Human Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells to Kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Front Immunol 2022; 13:865503.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death in mankind due to infectious agents, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects and survives in macrophages (MФs). Although MФs are a major niche, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an alternative site for pathogen persistence. Both MФs and MDSCs express varying levels of leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B (LILRB), which regulate the myeloid cell suppressive function. Herein, we demonstrate that antagonism of LILRB2 by a monoclonal antibody (mab) induced a switch of human MDSCs towards an M1-macrophage phenotype, increasing the killing of intracellular Mtb. Mab-mediated antagonism of LILRB2 alone and its combination with a pharmacological blockade of SHP1/2 phosphatase increased proinflammatory cytokine responses and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, and NF-kB in Mtb-infected MDSCs. LILRB2 antagonism also upregulated anti-mycobacterial iNOS gene expression and an increase in both nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species synthesis. Because genes associated with the anti-mycobacterial function of M1-MФs were enhanced in MDSCs following mab treatment, we propose that LILRB2 antagonism reprograms MDSCs from an immunosuppressive state towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype that kills Mtb. LILRB2 is therefore a novel therapeutic target for eradicating Mtb in MDSCs.
