项目摘要

ABSTRACT Infections by parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause more than 200 million cases of malaria and kill more than 400,000 people annually, most of whom are Plasmodium falciparum-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of P. falciparum infections are asymptomatic. While some infections progress to clinical uncomplicated malaria (UM), a small percentage of infections progress to clinical forms of severe malaria (e.g., severe malarial anemia (SMA), cerebral malaria (CM)), which are responsible for P. falciparum related deaths. To date, it is not fully understood what factors contribute towards the susceptibility of P. falciparum infection progressing to clinical UM or severe malaria. Gut microbiota provide many benefits to the host, including modulation of host immunity. In a murine model system, we recently published that mice with distinct gut bacterial communities exhibit differences in the severity of malaria and humoral immunity following infection. Mice with a specific bacterial community profile developed relatively low parasitemia following Plasmodium yoelii infection and exhibited elevated T follicular helper (Tfh) and germinal center (GC) B cell numbers and accelerated antibody class switching compared to mice with a different bacterial community profile that developed high parasitemia. When mice that develop low parasitemia were treated with antibodies that disrupt Tfh-GC B cell communication, they had similarly high parasite burdens as control mice. These findings suggest that microbiome-mediated modulation of the GC reaction may be a mechanism underlying the development of severe malaria. Currently, there are no definitive human data on the effect of the gut microbiome on the progression of P. falciparum infection to clinical malaria. Of note, our preliminary data demonstrate that children with asymptomatic parasitemia (AP) infections have different stool bacteria communities than children with SMA, and prospective analysis of stool bacteria in Malian children has identified significant differences between children who maintain or control AP infection versus children who develop febrile malaria. These novel findings support the central hypothesis that the composition of gut microbiota in humans is a risk factor for developing clinical malaria through modulation of GC reactions. Our hypothesis will be tested through the following specific aims: Aim 1. Demonstrate the human gut microbiome is capable of causing differential susceptibility to malaria. Aim 2. Determine the role of human gut microbiota in modulating GC reactions following Plasmodium infection.
抽象的 疟原虫属寄生虫感染导致超过 2 亿例疟疾病例并导致更多人死亡 每年超过 40 万人,其中大多数是撒哈拉以南地区感染恶性疟原虫的儿童 非洲。大多数恶性疟原虫感染是无症状的。虽然一些感染进展至临床 无并发症的疟疾 (UM),一小部分感染进展为严重疟疾的临床形式(例如, 严重疟疾贫血(SMA)、脑型疟疾(CM)),它们是恶性疟原虫相关死亡的原因。 迄今为止,尚不完全了解哪些因素导致恶性疟原虫感染的易感性 进展为临床 UM 或严重疟疾。肠道微生物群为宿主提供许多好处,包括 宿主免疫的调节。在小鼠模型系统中,我们最近发表了具有独特肠道的小鼠 细菌群落在疟疾的严重程度和感染后的体液免疫方面表现出差异。 具有特定细菌群落特征的小鼠在感染疟原虫后出现相对较低的寄生虫血症 约氏菌感染并表现出滤泡辅助 T (Tfh) 和生发中心 (GC) B 细胞数量升高, 与具有不同细菌群落特征的小鼠相比,加速了抗体类别转换 出现高度寄生虫血症。当患有低寄生虫血症的小鼠接受破坏性抗体治疗时 Tfh-GC B 细胞通讯,它们与对照小鼠具有相似的高寄生虫负荷。这些发现表明 微生物组介导的 GC 反应调节可能是 GC 反应发展的潜在机制 严重的疟疾。目前,尚无关于肠道微生物组对肠道菌群影响的明确人类数据。 恶性疟原虫感染进展为临床疟疾。值得注意的是,我们的初步数据表明 无症状寄生虫血症 (AP) 感染儿童的粪便细菌群落与儿童不同 与 SMA 相关,对马里儿童粪便细菌的前瞻性分析发现了显着差异 维持或控制 AP 感染的儿童与患热性疟疾的儿童之间的比较。这些 新发现支持以下中心假设:人类肠道微生物群的组成是一个危险因素 通过调节 GC 反应开发临床疟疾。我们的假设将通过 以下具体目标: 目标 1. 证明人类肠道微生物组能够引起差异 对疟疾的易感性。目标 2. 确定人类肠道微生物群在调节 GC 反应中的作用 疟原虫感染后。
