项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Scrub typhus is a life-threatening disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, an LPS-negative bacterium. This bacterium is highly infectious, replicating preferentially in phagocytes and endothelial cells, leaving one third of world population at risk of infection. Scrub typhus vaccines are not yet available; information on host immune recognition and disease pathogenesis is limited. Our recently developed mouse models of O. tsutsugamushi Karp strain infection, which mimic severe infection in human patients, have revealed that excessive type 1, but deficient type 2, immune responses result in acute vascular damage in multiple organs. Using the NanoString technology, we examined more than 1,200 immune genes in inflamed tissues (lung, spleen, brain). We found a significant/selective increase in transcripts of Mincle/Clec4e (a C-type lectin receptor) and STING (a DNA sensor) during acute/lethal infection in mice and in infected primary phagocyte cultures. The underlying hypothesis is that Mincle/STING pathway activation in O. tsutsugamushi-infected monocytes are critical for effector T cell priming, and dysregulated Mincle/STING activation can lead to excessive type 1 inflammation and acute tissue damage. Aim 1 will test whether sustained bacterial replication can initiate Mincle and STING activation and trigger their downstream signaling pathways. Both mouse and human primary macrophages and monocytes will be used for in vitro infection under various conditions with normal or attenuated expression of Mincle or STING (via siRNA, pharmacological inhibitors, or genetic knockouts). Aim 2 will determine whether Mincle/STING activation in dendritic cells can effectively prime/activate T effector cells and if Mincle/STING contribute to dysregulated T-cell responses during Orientia infection. Dendritic cells from Mincle-/- and STING-/- C57BL/6J mice will be infected and examined for priming naïve CD4 T cells in vitro and in vivo; knockout mice will receive a non-lethal or lethal Orientia infection. The spectrum of innate and adaptive immune responses will be evaluated at the single-cell and molecular levels and integrated with those from bacteriologic/pathologic studies. While Mincle and STING ligands from certain human pathogens or damaged self-components are reported, the roles of Mincle or STING during Orientia infection have never been explored. This study will reveal, for the first time, how these innate sensors collectively contribute to host responses to an obligate intracellular bacterium, which is poorly studied but has public health impact. The feasibility is justified by our research expertise and BSL3 facilities. Discovery of the nature of initial immune activation/dysfunction will help reveal signature host profiles for scrub typhus prognosis and potential avenues for pharmacological intervention. This timely study will have broad implications for other intracellular pathogens.
项目摘要/摘要 森林斑疹伤寒是一种由东方体引起的危及生命的疾病,东方体是一种脂多糖阴性细菌。这 细菌具有高度传染性,在吞噬细胞和内皮细胞中优先复制,留下三分之一的 世界人口面临感染风险。丛林斑疹伤寒疫苗尚未问世;有关宿主免疫的信息 对该病的认识和发病机制有限。我们最近开发的恙虫病原虫小鼠模型 在人类患者中模拟严重感染的Karp菌株感染表明,过度的1型,但 缺乏2型,免疫反应会导致多个器官的急性血管损伤。使用纳米线 在这项技术中,我们检查了炎症组织(肺、脾、脑)中的1200多个免疫基因。我们发现了一个 Mincle/Clec4e(C型凝集素受体)和STING(DNA)转录显著/选择性增加 在小鼠的急性/致死性感染期间和在受感染的原代吞噬细胞培养中。潜在的 假说认为,单核细胞感染恙虫病后Mincle/Sting通路的激活是关键 效应器T细胞启动和Mincle/STINE异常激活可导致过度的I型炎症 和急性组织损伤。Aim 1将测试持续的细菌复制是否会引发Mincle和Stike 激活并触发它们的下游信号通路。小鼠和人的原代巨噬细胞和 单核细胞将用于在各种条件下进行体外感染,其表达正常或减弱 微小或刺痛(通过siRNA、药理抑制剂或基因敲除)。目标2将决定是否 树突状细胞中Mincle/Sting的激活可以有效地激活T效应细胞,如果Mincle/Sting 在东方体感染期间导致T细胞反应失调。Mincle树突状细胞-/-和刺-/- C57BL/6J小鼠将被感染,并在体外和体内检测初始CD4T细胞;基因敲除小鼠 会受到非致命性或致命性东方体感染。先天免疫和获得性免疫反应的光谱 将在单细胞和分子水平上进行评估,并与细菌学/病理学的研究相结合 学习。而来自某些人类病原体或受损自身成分的Mincle和STING配体 据报道,Mincle或Strip在东方体感染中的作用从未被探索过。这项研究将 首次揭示了这些与生俱来的传感器如何共同作用于宿主对专性 细胞内细菌,研究较少,但对公共健康有影响。这一可行性得到了我们的支持 研究专业知识和BSL3设施。发现初始免疫激活/功能障碍的本质将有所帮助 揭示斑疹伤寒的标志性宿主预后和潜在的药理学途径 干预。这一及时的研究将对其他细胞内病原体产生广泛的影响。
