• W3127046109 abstract "Abstract Orientia tsutsugamushi infection can cause acute lung injury and high mortality in humans; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we tested a hypothesis that dysregulated pulmonary inflammation and Tie2-mediated endothelial malfunction contribute to lung damage. Using a murine model of lethal O. tsutsugamushi infection, we demonstrated pathological characteristics of vascular activation and tissue damage: 1) a significant increase of ICAM-1, VEGFR2, and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) proteins in inflamed tissues and lung-derived endothelial cells (EC), 2) a progressive loss of endothelial quiescent and junction proteins (Ang1, VE-cadherin/CD144, occuludin), and 3) a profound impairment of Tie2 receptor at the transcriptional and functional levels. In vitro infection of primary human EC cultures and serum Ang2 proteins in scrub typhus patients support our animal studies, implying endothelial dysfunction in severe scrub typhus. Flow cytometric analyses of lung-recovered cells further revealed that pulmonary macrophages (MΦ) were polarized toward an M1-like phenotype (CD80 + CD64 + CD11b + Ly6G - ) during the onset of disease and prior to host death, which correlated with the significant loss of CD31 + CD45 - ECs and M2-like (CD206 + CD64 + CD11b + Ly6G - ) cells. In vitro studies indicated extensive bacterial replication in M2-type, but not M1-type, MΦs, implying the protective and pathogenic roles of M1-skewed responses. This is the first detailed investigation of lung cellular immune responses during acute O. tsutsugamushi infection. It uncovers specific biomarkers for vascular dysfunction and M1-skewed inflammatory responses, highlighting future therapeutic research for the control of this neglected tropical disease. Author Summary Scrub typhus is a life-threatening disease, infecting an estimated one million people yearly. Acute lung injury is the most common clinical observation; however, its pathogenic biomarkers and mechanisms of progression remain unknown. Here, we used a lethal infection mouse model that parallels certain aspects of severe scrub typhus, primary human endothelial cell cultures, and patient sera to define pathogenic biomarkers following Orientia tsutsugamushi infections. We found a significant increase in the levels of endothelial activation/stress markers (angiopoietins and ICAM-1) in infected mouse lungs and in patient sera, but a progressive loss of endothelium-specific Tie2 receptor and junction proteins (VE-cadherin), at severe stages of disease. These signs of vasculature disruption positively correlated with the timing and magnitude of recruitment/activation of proinflammatory MΦ subsets in infected lungs. Bacterial growth in vitro was favored in M2-like, but not in M1-like, MΦs. This study, for the first time, reveals endothelial malfunction and dysregulated inflammatory responses, suggesting potential therapeutic targets to ameliorate tissue damage and pathogenesis." @default.
