Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae casts NOX-independent NETosis and induces enhanced IL-12, TNF-α, IL-6, CCL2 and iNOS gene transcription in caprine PMN. Exp Parasitol 2020; 220:108034. [PMID: 33188795 DOI: 10.1016/j.exppara.2020.108034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae represents a highly pathogenic coccidian parasite causing severe haemorrhagic typhlocolitis in goat kids worldwide. NETosis was recently described as an efficient defense mechanism of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) acting against different parasites in vitro and in vivo. In vitro interactions of caprine PMN with parasitic stages of E. ninakohlyakimovae (i. e. oocysts and sporozoites) as well as soluble oocyst antigens (SOA) were analyzed at different ratios, concentrations and time spans. Extracellular DNA staining was used to illustrate classical molecules induced during caprine NETosis [i. e. histones (H3) and neutrophil elastase (NE)] via antibody-based immunofluorescence analyses. Functional inhibitor treatments with DPI and DNase I were applied to unveil role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) and characterize DNA-backbone composition of E. ninakohlyakimovae-triggered caprine NETosis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)- and immunofluorescence-analyses demonstrated that caprine PMN underwent NETosis upon contact with sporozoites and oocysts of E. ninakohlyakimovae, ensnaring filaments which firmly entrapped parasites. Detailed co-localization studies of E. ninakohlyakimovae-induced caprine NETosis revealed presence of PMN-derived DNA being adorned with nuclear H3 and NE corroborating molecular characteristics of NETosis. E. ninakohlyakoimovae-induced caprine NETosis was found to be NOX-independent since DPI inhibition led to a slight decrease of NETosis. Exposure of caprine PMN to vital E. ninakohlyakimovae sporozoites as well as SOA resulted in up-regulation of IL-12, TNF-α, IL-6, CCL2 and iNOS gene transcription in stimulated PMN. Since vital E. ninakohlyakimovae-sporozoites induced caprine NETosis, this effective entrapment mechanism might reduce initial sporozoite epithelial host cell invasion during goat coccidiosis ultimately resulting in less macromeront formation and reduced merozoites I production.

Abstract
The burden of newborn infectious disease has long been recognized as the highest across the entire human life span. The precise underlying cause is unfortunately still far from clear. A substantial body of data derived mostly from in vitro experimentation indicates "lower" host immune responses in early vs. adult life and is briefly summarized within this review. However, emerging data derived mostly from in vivo experimentation reveal that the newborn host also exhibits an exuberant immune and inflammatory response following infection when compared to the adult. In this context, it is important to emphasize that "infection" does not equate "infectious disease," as for many infections it is the host response to the infection that causes disease. This simple insight readily arranges existing evidence into cause-effect relationships that explain much of the increase in clinical suffering from infection in early life. We here briefly summarize the evidence in support of this paradigm and highlight the important implications it has for efforts to ameliorate the suffering and dying from infection in early life.

S100-alarmin-induced innate immune programming protects newborn infants from sepsis. Nat Immunol 2017; 18:622-632.

Abstract
The high risk of neonatal death from sepsis is thought to result from impaired responses by innate immune cells; however, the clinical observation of hyperinflammatory courses of neonatal sepsis contradicts this concept. Using transcriptomic, epigenetic and immunological approaches, we demonstrated that high amounts of the perinatal alarmins S100A8 and S100A9 specifically altered MyD88-dependent proinflammatory gene programs. S100 programming prevented hyperinflammatory responses without impairing pathogen defense. TRIF-adaptor-dependent regulatory genes remained unaffected by perinatal S100 programming and responded strongly to lipopolysaccharide, but were barely expressed. Steady-state expression of TRIF-dependent genes increased only gradually during the first year of life in human neonates, shifting immune regulation toward the adult phenotype. Disruption of this critical sequence of transient alarmin programming and subsequent reprogramming of regulatory pathways increased the risk of hyperinflammation and sepsis. Collectively these data suggest that neonates are characterized by a selective, transient microbial unresponsiveness that prevents harmful hyperinflammation in the delicate neonate while allowing for sufficient immunological protection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Establishing an effective humoral immunity is an important host defense mechanism in intestinal mucosa. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a spectrum of CXCR5 expressing T helper cells that induce antigen-specific B cell differentiation. Because the differentiation of T helper cells is largely regulated by innate immunity, we addressed whether TRIF signaling regulates Tfh cell differentiation and its ability to trigger humoral immune responses in the intestine. METHOD CD4+CXCR5+ T cells, B cells, and plasma cells in the Peyer's patches (PPs) of WT and TRIF-deficient (TrifLPS2) mice were analyzed by flow cytometry at the baseline, 9 days post primary infection, and 7 days post-secondary infection with Y. enterocolitica. Y. enterocolitica-specific CD4+CXCR5+ T cells were generated in vitro by co-culturing peritoneal macrophages with splenic naïve T cells in the presence of Y. enterocolitica lysate. WT and TrifLPS2 mice received CD4+CXCR5+ T cells isolated either from Y. enterocolitica-primed WT mice or generated in vitro. These mice were infected with Y. enterocolitica and followed up to 4 weeks. Y. enterocolitica-specific IgA and IgG were measured in stool and serum samples, respectively. RESULTS At baseline, CD4+CXCR5+ T cell proportion was higher but the proportion of B cells and plasma cells was lower in the PPs of TrifLPS2 mice compared to WT mice. After infection, the proportion of plasma cells also became higher in the PPs of TrifLPS2 mice compared to WT mice. Corresponding increase of Y. enterocolitica-specific stool IgA but not serum IgG was found in TrifLPS2 mice compared to WT mice. Both in vivo isolated and in vitro generated CD4+CXCR5+ T cells induced protective immunity against Y. enterocolitica infection. CONCLUSION Our results reveal a novel role of TRIF in the regulation of humoral immunity in the intestine that can be utilized as a basis for a unique vaccine strategy.
