Gałuszka-Bulaga A, Tkacz K, Węglarczyk K, Siedlar M, Baran J. Air pollution induces pyroptosis of human monocytes through activation of inflammasomes and Caspase-3-dependent pathways. J Inflamm (Lond) 2023; 20:26.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is one of the most serious threats for our planet. Despite a growing public awareness of the harmful effects of air pollution on human health, the specific influence of particulate matter (PM) on human immune cells remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of PM on peripheral blood monocytes in vitro. Monocytes from healthy donors (HD) were exposed to two types of PM: NIST (SRM 1648a, standard urban particulate matter from the US National Institute for Standards and Technology) and LAP (SRM 1648a with the organic fraction removed). The exposure to PM-induced mitochondrial ROS production followed by the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (Apaf-1), Caspase-9, and Caspase-3, leading to the cleavage of Gasdermin E (GSDME), and initiation of pyroptosis. Further analysis showed a simultaneous PM-dependent activation of inflammasomes, including NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3) and Caspase-1, followed by cleavage of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) and secretion of IL-1β. These observations suggest that PM-treated monocytes die by pyroptosis activated by two parallel signaling pathways, related to the inorganic and organic PM components. The release of IL-1β and expression of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) by pyroptotic cells further activated the remnant viable monocytes to produce inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8) and protected them from death induced by the second challenge with PM.In summary, our report shows that PM exposure significantly impacts monocyte function and induces their death by pyroptosis. Our observations indicate that the composition of PM plays a crucial role in this process-the inorganic fraction of PM is responsible for the induction of the Caspase-3-dependent pyroptotic pathway. At the same time, the canonical inflammasome path is activated by the organic components of PM, including LPS (Lipopolysaccharide/endotoxin). PM-induced pyroptosis of human monocytes. Particulate matter (PM) treatment affects monocytes viability already after 15 min of their exposure to NIST or LAP in vitro. The remnant viable monocytes in response to danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) release pro-inflammatory cytokines and activate Th1 and Th17 cells. The mechanism of PM-induced cell death includes the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production followed by collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), activation of Apaf-1, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3, leading to activation of Caspase-3-dependent pyroptotic pathway, where Caspase-3 cleaves Gasdermin E (GSDME) to produce a N-terminal fragment responsible for the switch from apoptosis to pyroptosis. At the same time, PM activates the canonical inflammasome pathway, where activated Caspase-1 cleaves the cytosolic Gasdermin D (GSDMD) to produce N-terminal domain allowing IL-1β secretion. As a result, PM-treated monocytes die by pyroptosis activated by two parallel pathways-Caspase-3-dependent pathway related to the inorganic fraction of PM and the canonical inflammasome pathway dependent on the organic components of PM.

Impact of Type 2 Diabetes on the capacity of human macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis to modulate monocyte differentiation through a bystander effect.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for the development of tuberculosis (TB) through mechanisms poorly understood. Monocytes and macrophages are key effector cells to control TB, but they are also subverted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Specifically, Mtb can induce a bystander effect that skews monocyte differentiation towards macrophages with a permissive phenotype to infection. Here, we evaluated whether T2DM impacts this TB aspect. Our approach was to differentiate monocytes from healthy control (HC) subjects and T2DM patients into macrophages (MDM), and then assess their response to Mtb infection, including their secretome content and bystander effect capacity. Through flow cytometry analyses, we found a lower level of activation markers in MDM from T2DM patients in comparison to those from HC in response to mock (HLA-DR, CD86, and CD163) or Mtb challenge (CD14 and CD80). In spite of high TGF-β1 levels in mock-infected MDM from T2DM patients, cytometric bead arrays indicated there were no major differences in the secretome cytokine content in these cells relative to HC-MDM, even in response to Mtb. Mimicking a bystander effect, the secretome of Mtb-infected HC-MDM drove HC monocytes towards MDM with a permissive phenotype for Mtb intracellular growth. However, the secretome from Mtb-infected T2DM-MDM did not exacerbate the Mtb load compared to cmMTB-HC, possibly due to the high IL-1β production relative to Mtb-infected HC-MDM. Collectively, despite T2DM affecting the basal MDM activation, our approach revealed it has no major consequence on their response to Mtb or capacity to generate a bystander effect influencing monocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Objectives The timely diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is challenging. Although pathogen-derived circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been detected in humans, the significance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-cfDNA detection in patients with PTB remains unclear. Methods This study enrolled patients with PTB and persons with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) as the study and control groups, respectively, from 2018 to 2020. We measured interferon-γ levels and calculated blood monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR). We conducted plasma cfDNA extraction, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and droplet digital PCR targeting the IS6110 gene of MTB. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of using MTB-cfDNA to identify PTB and analyzed the factors associated with PTB diagnosis and MTB-cfDNA positivity. Results We enrolled 24 patients with PTB and 57 LTBI controls. The sensitivity of using MTB-cfDNA to identify PTB was 54.2%(13/24) in total and 46.2%(6/13) in smear-negative cases. Two LTBI controls (3.5%) tested positive for MTB-cfDNA, indicating a specificity of 96.5%(55/57). By using MTB-cfDNA positivity and an MLR ≥0.42 to identify PTB, sensitivity increased to 79.2%(19/24). Among patients with PTB, MTB-specific interferon-γ levels were higher in MTB-cfDNA positive participants than in those who tested negative (7.0 ±2.7 vs 2.7±3.0 IU/mL, p<0.001). MTB-cfDNA levels declined after 2 months of anti-tuberculosis therapy (p<0.001). Conclusion The sensitivity of using MTB-cfDNA to identify PTB in participants was 54.2%, which increased to 79.2% after incorporating an MLR ≥0.42 into the analysis. MTB-cfDNA positivity was associated with MTB-specific immune response, and MTB-cfDNA levels declined after treatment. The clinical value of MTB-cfDNA in PTB management necessitates further investigation.

Lower IL-7 Receptor Expression of Monocytes Impairs Antimycobacterial Effector Functions in Patients with Tuberculosis. THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 206:2430-2440.

Abstract
Altered monocyte differentiation and effector functions characterize immune pathogenesis of tuberculosis. IL-7 is an important factor for proliferation of T cells and impaired IL-7 sensitivity due to decreased IL-7 receptor α-chain (IL-7Rα) expression was found in patients with acute tuberculosis. Peripheral blood monocytes have moderate IL-7Rα expression and increased IL-7Rα levels were described for inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated a potential role of IL-7 and IL-7Rα expression for monocyte functions in tuberculosis. We analyzed the phenotype of monocytes in the blood from tuberculosis patients (n = 33), asymptomatic contacts of tuberculosis patients (contacts; n = 30), and healthy controls (n = 20) from Ghana by multicolor flow cytometry. Mycobacterial components were analyzed for their capacity to induce IL-7Rα expression in monocytes. Functional effects of monocyte to IL-7 were measured during signaling and by using an antimycobacterial in vitro kill assay. Monocytes were more frequent in peripheral blood from patients with tuberculosis and especially higher proportions of CD14+/CD16+ (M1/2) monocytes with increased PD-L1 expression characterized acute tuberculosis. IL-7Rα expression was decreased particularly on M1/2 monocytes from patients with tuberculosis and aberrant low expression IL-7Rα correlated with high PD-L1 levels. Constitutive low pSTAT5 levels of monocytes ex vivo and impaired IL-7 response confirmed functionally decreased monocyte IL-7 sensitivity of patients with tuberculosis. Mycobacteria and mycobacterial cell wall components induced IL-7 receptor expression in monocytes and IL-7 boosted mycobacterial killing by monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro. We demonstrated impaired monocyte IL-7 receptor expression as well as IL-7 sensitivity in tuberculosis with potential effects on antimycobacterial effector functions.

Abstract
Background Approximately 80% - 90% of individuals infected with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remain protected throughout their life-span. The release of unique, latent-phase antigens are known to have a protective role in the immune response against Mtb. Although the BCG vaccine has been administered for nine decades to provide immunity against Mtb, the number of TB cases continues to rise, thereby raising doubts on BCG vaccine efficacy. The shortcomings of BCG have been associated with inadequate processing and presentation of its antigens, an inability to optimally activate T cells against Mtb, and generation of regulatory T cells. Furthermore, BCG vaccination lacks the ability to eliminate latent Mtb infection. With these facts in mind, we selected six immunodominant CD4 and CD8 T cell epitopes of Mtb expressed during latent, acute, and chronic stages of infection and engineered a multi-epitope-based DNA vaccine (C6). Result BALB/c mice vaccinated with the C6 construct along with a BCG vaccine exhibited an expansion of both CD4 and CD8 T cell memory populations and augmented IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokine release. Furthermore, enhancement of dendritic cell and macrophage activation was noted. Consequently, illustrating the elicitation of immunity that helps in the protection against Mtb infection; which was evident by a significant reduction in the Mtb burden in the lungs and spleen of C6 + BCG administered animals. Conclusion Overall, the results suggest that a C6 + BCG vaccination approach may serve as an effective vaccination strategy in future attempts to control TB.

Abstract
The innate response plays a crucial role in the protection against tuberculosis development. Moreover, the initial steps that drive the host-pathogen interaction following Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection are critical for the development of adaptive immune response. As alveolar Mϕs, airway epithelial cells, and dendritic cells can sense the presence of M. tuberculosis and are the first infected cells. These cells secrete mediators, which generate inflammatory signals that drive the differentiation and activation of the T lymphocytes necessary to clear the infection. Throughout this review article, we addressed the interaction between epithelial cells and M. tuberculosis, as well as the interaction between dendritic cells and M. tuberculosis. The understanding of the mechanisms that modulate those interactions is critical to have a complete view of the onset of an infection and may be useful for the development of dendritic cell-based vaccine or immunotherapies.

Abstract
The lack of efficient tools for identifying immunological correlates of tuberculosis (TB) protection or risk of disease progression impedes the development of improved control strategies. To more clearly understand the host response in TB, we recently established an imaging flow cytometer‐based in‐vitro assay, which assesses multiple aspects of T cell–monocyte interaction. Here, we extended our previous work and characterized communication between T cells and monocytes using clinical samples from individuals with different TB infection status and healthy controls from a TB endemic setting. To identify T cell–monocyte conjugates, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated with ds‐Red‐expressing Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette–Guérin or 6‐kDa early secreted antigenic target (ESAT 6) peptides for 6 h, and analyzed by imaging flow cytometer (IFC). We then enumerated T cell–monocyte conjugates using polarization of T cell receptor (TCR) and F‐actin as markers for synapse formation, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) nuclear translocation in the T cells. We observed a reduced frequency of T cell–monocyte conjugates in cells from patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (pTB) compared to latent TB‐infected (LTBI) and healthy controls. When we monitored NF‐κB nuclear translocation in T cells interacting with monocytes, the proportion of responding cells was significantly higher in active pTB compared with LTBI and controls. Overall, these data underscore the need to consider multiple immunological parameters against TB, where IFC could be a valuable tool.

Abstract
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) have been described in a wide diversity of vertebrate cells, including human immune cells. Macrophages are pivotal cells in the host-pathogen interaction and their polarization in M1 or M2 cells has been described as a new central paradigm in the immune response to pathogens. In this context, we explored the involvement of PAR activation by serine proteases on M1/M2 macrophage differentiation and their impact on the Th1/Th2 cytokine profile in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen. Our results demonstrate that the serine proteases, thrombin and trypsin, induce interleukin (IL)-4 release from human monocytes, together with upregulation of the macrophage mannose receptor (CD206) in the same way that alternative M2a differentiated cells with M-CSF/IL-4. Protease stimulation of monocytes in the presence of PAR-1 (SCH-79797) or PAR-2 (FSLLRY-NH2) antagonists abolished IL-4 release from monocytes, whereas the use of the peptide agonist for PAR-1 (SFLLRNPNDKYEPF-NH2) or PAR-2 (SLIGKV-NH2) induced the secretion of IL-4 at a level comparable to thrombin or trypsin. When these protease-induced M2 macrophages from healthy human PPD + donors were co-cultured with autologous lymphocyte population in the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen, we found a consistent inhibition of IFN-γ/IL-12 release together with persistent IL-4 expression, in contrast to the expected Th1 profile obtained with M2a macrophages. To our knowledge, this is the first observation that proteolytic activation of PAR1/2 receptors in monocytes induces M2-like macrophages with impaired plasticity and their implication in the driving of the Th1/Th2 cytokine profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immune mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB) need better understanding to improve TB management, as the disease still causes more than 1.5 million deaths annually. This study tested the hypothesis that a modulation of the proportions or activation status of APC during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may impact on the course of the disease. PROCEDURE Proportions of circulating APC subsets and the expression of stimulatory (CD86), inhibitory (ILT-3, ILT-4, ILT-7), or apoptosis-inducing (PDL-1, PDL-2) molecules were analyzed in 2 independent cohorts, on blood monocytes and dendritic cell (DC) subsets from patients with active or latent TB infection (aTB /LTBI) and from uninfected subjects. RESULTS Higher proportions of classical CD14+ CD16- and intermediate CD14+ CD16+ monocytes, and lower proportions of plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and type 2 myeloid DC were observed in the blood from untreated patients with aTB compared with those with LTBI and with healthy subjects, with an early normalization of the proportions of pDC during treatment. In addition, monocytes from M. tuberculosis-infected subjects expressed higher levels of ILT-3, ILT-4, and PDL-1 compared with healthy controls, these differences being more important for patients with aTB than for those with LTBI. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm the hypothesis of a modulation of the proportions and activation status of APC during M. tuberculosis infection and suggest that these cells could play a role in driving the course of M. tuberculosis infection.

Crux NB, Elahi S. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) and Immune Regulation: How Do Classical and Non-Classical HLA Alleles Modulate Immune Response to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis C Virus Infections? Front Immunol 2017; 8:832. [PMID: 28769934 PMCID: PMC5513977 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.00832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 115] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2017] [Accepted: 06/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The genetic factors associated with susceptibility or resistance to viral infections are likely to involve a sophisticated array of immune response. These genetic elements may modulate other biological factors that account for significant influence on the gene expression and/or protein function in the host. Among them, the role of the major histocompatibility complex in viral pathogenesis in particular human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), is very well documented. We, recently, added a novel insight into the field by identifying the molecular mechanism associated with the protective role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27/B57 CD8+ T cells in the context of HIV-1 infection and why these alleles act as a double-edged sword protecting against viral infections but predisposing the host to autoimmune diseases. The focus of this review will be reexamining the role of classical and non-classical HLA alleles, including class Ia (HLA-A, -B, -C), class Ib (HLA-E, -F, -G, -H), and class II (HLA-DR, -DQ, -DM, and -DP) in immune regulation and viral pathogenesis (e.g., HIV and HCV). To our knowledge, this is the very first review of its kind to comprehensively analyze the role of these molecules in immune regulation associated with chronic viral infections.

Interleukin 1-Beta (IL-1β) Production by Innate Cells Following TLR Stimulation Correlates With TB Recurrence in ART-Treated HIV-Infected Patients. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2017; 74:213-220. [PMID: 27654812 DOI: 10.1097/qai.0000000000001181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, especially in the context of HIV coinfection because immunity is not completely restored following antiretroviral therapy (ART). The identification of immune correlates of risk for TB disease could help in the design of host-directed therapies and clinical management. This study aimed to identify innate immune correlates of TB recurrence in HIV+ ART-treated individuals with a history of previous successful TB treatment. METHODS Twelve participants with a recurrent episode of TB (cases) were matched for age, sex, time on ART, pre-ART CD4 count with 12 participants who did not develop recurrent TB in 60 months of follow-up (controls). Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells from time-points before TB recurrence were stimulated with ligands for Toll-like receptors (TLR) including TLR-2, TLR-4, and TLR-7/8. Multicolor flow cytometry and intracellular cytokine staining were used to detect IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-12, and IP10 responses from monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs). RESULTS Elevated production of IL-1β from monocytes following TLR-2, TLR-4, and TLR-7/8 stimulation was associated with reduced odds of TB recurrence. In contrast, production of IL-1β from both monocytes and mDCs following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) stimulation was associated with increased odds of TB recurrence (risk of recurrence increased by 30% in monocytes and 42% in mDCs, respectively). CONCLUSION Production of IL-1β by innate immune cells following TLR and BCG stimulations correlated with differential TB recurrence outcomes in ART-treated patients and highlights differences in host response to TB.
