To shorten current treatments and battle drug resistant strains it is important to discover and develop new drugs against the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Phenotypic screens have delivered potent hit and lead molecules in the past but the need to target new pathways in M.

  • Mrp1 Is Involved in Lipid Presentation and Inkt Cell Activation by Streptococcus Pneumoniae
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06646-8 OPEN Mrp1 is involved in lipid presentation and iNKT cell activation by Streptococcus pneumoniae Shilpi Chandra1, James Gray2, William B. Kiosses1, Archana Khurana1, Kaori Hitomi1, Catherine M. Crosby1, Ashu Chawla3, Zheng Fu 3, Meng Zhao1, Natacha Veerapen4, Stewart K. Richardson5, Steven A. Porcelli6, Gurdyal Besra 4, Amy R. Howell5, Sonia Sharma2,7, Bjoern Peters8,9 & Mitchell Kronenberg 1,10 Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are activated by lipid antigens presented by CD1d, 1234567890():,; but the pathway leading to lipid antigen presentation remains incompletely characterized. Here we show a whole-genome siRNA screen to elucidate the CD1d presentation pathway. A majority of gene knockdowns that diminish antigen presentation reduced formation of glycolipid-CD1d complexes on the cell surface, including members of the HOPS and ESCRT complexes, genes affecting cytoskeletal rearrangement, and ABC family transporters. We validated the role in vivo for the multidrug resistance protein 1 (Mrp1) in CD1d antigen presentation. Mrp1 deficiency reduces surface clustering of CD1d, which decreased iNKT cell activation. Infected Mrp1 knockout mice show decreased iNKT cell responses to antigens from Streptococcus pneumoniae and were associated with increased mortality. Our results highlight the unique cellular events involved in lipid antigen presentation and show how modification of this pathway can lead to lethal infection. 1 Division of Developmental Immunology, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. 2 The Functional Genomics Center, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. 3 Bioinformatics Core, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.

Lowry, PhD. In modern urban environments there is an increased prevalence of allergies, asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and anxiety disorders. The underlying cause for these disorders, as postulated by the Hygiene Hypothesis, is chronic inflammation, and the imbalance in the immune system is caused by a lack of interaction with microbes that have been removed from the urban space and lifestyle. One such microbe is the environmental saprophyte, Mycobacterium vaccae. In animal models, immunization with M. vaccae protects against the development of these prevalent inflammatory disorders. This immunoregulatory effect has been shown to occur due to the expansion of regulatory T cells, but it is still unclear how M.
