Impact: Pulmonary aspergillosis is a life-threatening complication in transplantation and chronic respiratory disease. Here we report necroptosis as an early response to germination of Aspergillus fumigatu s in human macrophages, and show that this results in lateral transfer of Aspergillus fumigatus between macrophages as a mechanism to limit hyphal escape. We define as a key that regulates necroptotic transfer of

Aspergillus fumigatus , yielding important insights into the pathogenesis of pulmonary aspergillosis in the immunocompromised host.

Scientific Knowledge on the Subject: Macrophages are the front-line defense against

pulmonary infection with the mould pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus . Phagocytosis and

generation of reactive oxygen species are known to be crucial for control of infection.

However, the cellular outcome from progressive macrophage infection with Aspergillus

fumigatus has not been systematically studied.

What This Study Adds to the Field: Here we present a systematic analysis of human

macrophage infection with Aspergillus fumigatus . We show that successful fungal

germination in the phagosome leads to necrotic cell death and can result in cell-cell transfer

of germinating Aspergillus fumigatus between macrophages. Ultimately this process assists

control of fungal germination, and is orchestrated through the calcium-responsive serine-

threonine phosphatase calcineurin. Our systematic analysis of the macrophage response to

Aspergillus fumigatus defines necroptosis as a key early event in the pathogenesis of

pulmonary aspergillosis.

Abstract

Rationale: Pulmonary aspergillosis is a lethal mould infection in the immunocompromised host. Understanding initial control of infection, and how this is altered in the immunocompromised host, is a key goal for understanding the pathogenesis of pulmonary aspergillosis.

Objectives: To characterise the outcome of human macrophage infection with Aspergillus fumigatus , and how this is altered in transplant recipients on calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressants.

Methods: We defined the outcome of human macrophage infection with Aspergillus fumigatus , and the impact of calcineurin inhibitors, through a combination of single cell fluorescence imaging, transcriptomics, proteomics, and in vivo studies.

Measurements and Main results: Macrophage phagocytosis of Aspergillus fumigatus enabled control of 90% of fungal germination. However fungal germination in the late phagosome led to macrophage necrosis. During programmed necroptosis, we observed frequent cell-cell transfer of Aspergillus fumigatus between macrophages which assists subsequent control of germination in recipient macrophages. Lateral transfer occurred through actin-dependent exocytosis of the late endosome in a vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) envelope. Its relevance to the control of fungal germination was also shown by direct visualisation in our zebrafish aspergillosis model in vivo . The calcineurin inhibitor FK506/tacrolimus reduced cell death and lateral transfer in vitro by 50%. This resulted in uncontrolled fungal germination in macrophages and hyphal escape.

Conclusions: These observations identify programmed necrosis-dependent lateral transfer

of Aspergillus fumigatus between macrophages as an important host strategy for controlling

fungal germination. This process is critically dependent on calcineurin. Our studies provide

Introduction

Aspergillus fumigatus (Af ) is a mould with small airborne conidia that are a ubiquitous component of the aerial mycobiota (1). Normally inhaled conidia are cleared by alveolar macrophages to prevent fungal germination, tissue invasion and destructive lung disease (2,

3). Our previous work using murine and zebrafish models of invasive aspergillosis has shown the importance of macrophages in control of Af early post infection, with neutrophil influx a later event (4, 5). Previous studies have highlighted the importance of inflammatory monocytes in murine invasive aspergillosis (6).

A spectrum of immunocompromised states predispose individuals to high-mortality invasive or chronic forms of pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) (7). Organ transplant recipients are at high risk of PA, with lung transplant recipients being particularly susceptible with a mortality of

>40% (8, 9). There are an estimated 3 million individuals with chronic PA, and 4.5 million with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis globally (10, 11). Af has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, chronic obstructive airways disease and bronchiectasis (11-13).

Treatment options remain limited, and high mortality rates persist (14). Better understanding of susceptibility to PA in the non-neutropenic host is a key clinical research priority.

Calcineurin-NFAT signalling is the target of the calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressants

(CNIs) used in organ transplantation (15). We have shown that CNIs (FK506/tacrolimus) increase susceptibility to murine PA through inhibition of the macrophage TLR9-calcineurin-

NFAT pathway (4, 5). This pathway is crucial for activation of inflammatory responses to Af , and recruitment of fungicidal neutrophils to the site of infection. Calcineurin-NFAT signalling has also been shown to be critical for the innate immune response to Candida albicans and

Escherichia coli , through endocytic mechanisms convergent on C-ɣ-

dependent calcium flux (16, 17). These observations underscore the importance of

calcineurin-NFAT signalling for myeloid immunity, and reveal a novel relationship between

innate sensing and calcineurin-NFAT signalling in the lung that requires further clinical

definition.

Here we show that host programmed necrosis is an important outcome of Af germination in

the human macrophage. Cell death occurred in response to phagosomal germination, with

necroptosis-associated lateral transfer of Af between macrophages. Cell death-dependent

transfer was calcineurin-dependent, and enabled control of germination in recipient

macrophages. Crucially, inhibition of either calcineurin-dependent cell death, or lateral

transfer, enabled hyphal escape from the macrophage. These studies identify programmed

necrosis as a key cellular response in PA, and show that it is likely to be critically impaired in

organ transplant recipients on calcineurin inhibitors. Our studies reveal cell-cell transfer as a

novel and important cell death associated defence mechanism that enables control of

fungal germination in the myeloid compartment.

Illumina RNA-seq libraries were prepared from hMDMs ( n = 6, healthy donors) pre-treated

with 10 ng/ml FK506 for 1h or vehicle and stimulated with live Af swollen conidia (SC)

(MOI=1) for 1h and 6h. Illumina paired-end reads were mapped to the human reference

Results

Aspergillus fumigatus activates calcineurin -NFAT-dependent inflammatory responses in human macrophages

Af phagocytosis activates NFAT nuclear translocation in murine macrophages (4). We therefore characterised the role of NFAT in human monocyte-derived macrophages

(hMDMs). hMDMs were infected with live Af swollen conidia (SC) or resting conidia (RC) and NFAT translocation determined by Western blot and confocal microscopy. SC phagocytosis led to sustained NFAT translocation after 30min (Figures 1A, B and E1A). RC induced a weak transient NFAT activation response (Figure E1B, E1C). NFAT translocation in response to SC was confirmed in alveolar macrophages (hAMs) from lung transplant recipients (Figure E1D). Maximum translocation of NFATc2 to the nucleus was seen in response to Af at 60 minutes p.i. NFAT translocation was blocked by the calcineurin inhibitor

FK506 (Figures 1B, 1C, E1E), but NFκB Rel65 translocation was unaffected (Figure 1B).

NFAT transcriptional activity was defined by measuring expression of the NFAT-specific

target Regulator of Calcineurin 1 (RCAN1 ). SC infection increased RCAN1 expression, which

was abrogated by FK506 (Figures 1D, E1F). To determine the role of the calcineurin-NFAT

pathway in inflammatory responses, we quantified chemokine and cytokine production in

hMDMs during SC infection. TNF-α, GM-CSF, MCP-1, MCP-1α and MCP-1β expression were

attenuated by calcineurin inhibition (P=0.02; P=0.02; P=0.03; P=0.0003 and P=0.009

respectively) (Figures 1E, E1G). Flow cytometry characterisation of hMDMs and lung

transplant hAMs revealed similar inflammatory activation status with CD11c +MHCII +CD206 +

surface expression. There were significant differences in surface CD11b (P≤0.001) and CD86

(P≤0.001) expression (Figure E1H). Blockade of the fungal C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1

(P=0.001) or inhibition of downstream Syk signalling (P=0.001) impaired TNF-α responses,

but there was no effect on NFAT translocation (Figures E1I, E1J). These results indicate that

the calcineurin-NFAT signalling pathway is critical for early macrophage inflammatory

responses to Af , independent of Dectin-1 and Syk, in humans.

Human macrophage phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species production and killing of A.

fumigatus are calcineurin-dependent

Next we characterised the role of calcineurin-NFAT in killing of Af. hMDMs were infected

with SC following treatment with FK506 or vehicle, and fungal growth analysed at 1 and 6h

p.i.. Both hMDMs and hAMs pre-treated with FK506 exhibited impaired control of fungal

growth (P<0.001 and P<0.0001 respectively) (Figures 2A, E2A). Time-lapse video microscopy

demonstrated increased Af hyphal transition in FK506-treated macrophages (P=0.02) (Figure

2B). To identify the calcineurin-dependent mechanism for fungal growth inhibition, we

assessed efficiency of Af phagocytosis. Calcineurin inhibition delayed phagocytosis of SC in

hMDMs (P<0.01) and hAMs (P=0.04) early post-infection but phagocytosis of RC was not affected (Figures 2C, E2B, E2C). We measured reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and

Cathepsin B (a lysosomal cysteine protease) activation, which are critical for Af killing (22,

23). ROS production was partially calcineurin-dependent (P<0.0001) with no effect on mitochondrial ROS (Figures 2D, E2D-E) or activated Cathepsin B production (Figures 2E-F).

Calcineurin-dependent effects on phagosomal maturation were analysed by phagosomal acidification and recruitment of the late phagosomal maturation marker, LAMP-1 to Af - containing phagosomes. Calcineurin inhibition increased LAMP-1 recruitment at early time points after infection (P<0.05) (Figure E2F, E2G). Phagosomal acidification was not calcineurin-dependent (Figures E2H, E2I). These results indicate that inhibition of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway impairs the ability of human macrophages to control fungal hyphal transition, delays fungal phagocytosis, and reduces ROS production.

Macrophages traffic Af -containing endosomes to neighbouring cells through calcineurin- dependent lateral transfer

During live time-lapse confocal imaging, we observed lateral transfer of germinating Af between hMDMs (Figure 3A, Movie 1). This was confirmed in alveolar macrophages from lung transplant recipients (Movie 2). Lateral transfer events occurred in 3.0 ± 0.4% of cells infected with SC, peaking at 4 to 6h p.i. (Figure 3B). Calcineurin inhibition markedly reduced lateral transfer (53.9% +/- 10.3) (P= 0.002) (Figure 3C).

We assessed the role of fungal germination in lateral transfer of Af by time-lapse microscopy of metabolically inactive RC or dead fixed SC. Lateral transfer was dependent on both live and swollen Af (P<0.001) (Figure 3D). We observed co-localisation of actin and

9

dynamin to conidia undergoing lateral transfer (Figures 3E,3F) suggesting an actin and

dynamin-dependent process. This was confirmed by treating hMDMs with actin

polymerisation or dynamin inhibitors (Cytochalasin D or Dynasore respectively) following

phagocytosis (P<0.001) (Figure 3D). Fungal burden was increased after inhibition of lateral

transfer post-phagocytosis using Dynasore, suggesting transfer enables recipient

macrophage control of hyphal germination (P<0.01) (Figure E3A). Transmission electron

microscopy showed that transfer of Af -containing cargo between hMDMs occurred in

membrane-bound compartments (Figure E3B). The Af -containing cargo transferred between

hMDMs was further characterized by staining for endo-lysosomal markers (Rab 5, Rab7 and

LAMP-1). This showed that Af was transferred between hMDMs in Rab7-positive and Rab5

and LAMP-1-negative compartments, suggesting late endosomal trafficking (Figure 3F and

E3C).

To determine whether this phenomenon occurred in vivo , we exploited our zebrafish

invasive aspergillosis model (4). Using an mpeg:mCherry transgenic zebrafish line and eGFP-

expressing Af, we examined the macrophage-Af interaction in vivo using time-lapse high-

resolution confocal microscopy. We observed similar macrophage Af lateral transfer in

zebrafish larvae, consistent with an evolutionarily conserved macrophage response to Af

infection that occurs in vivo (Figure 3G and Movie 3). Taken together, these observations

indicate that successful fungal germination in the late endosome triggers exocytic transfer

of Af between macrophages.

Macrophages undergoing calcineurin-dependent programmed necrosis transfer Af conidia

to neighbouring cells to control fungal germination

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 14 of 63

hMDMs transferring Af had increasingly translucent cytoplasm, organelle swelling and increased cell volume, suggesting programmed cell death during transfer. This was confirmed by confocal microscopy using propidium iodide (PI) (Figure 4A, Movie 4). Around

90% of macrophages successfully control fungal germination and do not die (Figure 4B). PI staining revealed that in dying macrophages (13±2%), lateral transfer occurred in 37 ± 5%

(Figure 4D). This represents ~3-4% of total macrophages as previously described infected with Af SC. Transfer of Af conidia from dying hMDMs enhanced control of germination, compared to dying hMDMs where conidia were not transferred (P= 0.003) (Figure 4B).

Germination of Af in live hMDMs was well controlled when compared to cells undergoing programmed necrosis (Figure E3D) , further supporting a model where programmed cell death and lateral transfer occur in response to successful fungal germination in macrophages, to enable containment of infection in recipient macrophages (Figure 4B).

Consistent with programmed cell death, we observed massive vacuole formation adjacent to the Af -containing compartment (Figure E3E, Movie 5) (24). Transmission electron microscopy also showed conidia residing within large vacuoles (Figure E3F). Vacuole formation was inhibited by pre-treatment with the vacuolar H+ ATPase inhibitor Bafilomycin

(P=0.003), with a trend towards decreased transfer (P=0.06) (Figure E3G).

To define the relationship between cell death and transfer, induction of necroptosis with the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (an inhibitor of caspase-dependent which increases necroptosis) was performed (25, 26). This increased lateral transfer (P=0.003)

(Figure 4C). Addition of Necrostatin-1, an inhibitor of RIP1 kinase-dependent necroptosis, to

Z-VAD-FMK, inhibited both cell death (P=0.078) and lateral transfer (P=0.028) induced by Z-

VAD-FMK alone (Figure 4C). However, induction of necroptosis with Z-VAD-FMK led to

11

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 15 of 63

increased fungal burden due to recipient macrophage death (P<0.01) (Figure E3H).

Necrostatin-1 alone or necrosulphonamide could not inhibit macrophage programmed cell

death or lateral transfer (Figure 4C). As pyroptosis has recently been shown following

macrophage infection with C. albicans , we blocked pyroptosis with an irreversible cell

permeable caspase-1 inhibitor, (Z-YVAD-FMK), which did not affect cell death or lateral

transfer (Figure 4C) (27). These observations are consistent with transfer of Af between

macrophages during a programmed cell death process with hallmarks of necroptosis.

As calcineurin regulates cell death, we assessed its role in macrophage necrosis following

infection (28). Calcineurin inhibition reduced macrophage programmed necrosis by 57% +/-

13.7 (P=0.01) (Figure 4D) and was associated with accelerated fungal germination at late

time-points in macrophages that failed to undergo necrosis-dependent transfer (P<0.001)

(Figures E3I, E3J). This is consistent with a calcineurin-dependent checkpoint for

programmed necrosis during Af germination.

Together, these results indicate that hMDMs infected with live Af SC undergo calcineurin-

dependent cell death with hallmarks of programmed necroptosis and transfer Af -containing

endosomes to neighbouring cells to facilitate control of fungal germination.

Calcineurin regulates cell death and the MAP kinase pathway during Af infection

To further define the macrophage response to Af , we undertook next generation transcript

profiling of hMDMs during phagocytosis. hMDMs pre-treated with FK506 were infected

with SC for 1h or 6h, and differentially expressed compared to baseline and untreated

infection controls were identified (Figure E4A). The major gene sets regulated by calcineurin

at 6h p.i. were associated with cell death, inflammatory responses and transcriptional

12

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 16 of 63

regulation (Figure E4B). 51 genes associated with the cell death pathway were calcineurin- dependent at 6h p.i (Table E1).

Over-representation analysis using ConsensusPathDB (CPDB) identified calcineurin- dependent control of the programmed cell death, MAPK signalling and cytokine-cytokine interaction pathways at 6h p.i. (Figure E4C). To assess the interaction between the pathways regulated by calcineurin, a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network was created. This identified significant interactions and clustering of transcriptional regulation pathways, immune response pathways, apoptosis and the AP-1 transcription factor network (Figure

4E). Studies have suggested a critical role for the MAPK-AP-1 pathway, and dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1)-mediated mitochondrial fission in necroptosis (25, 29). As mitochondrial translocation of Drp1 and MAPK-AP-1 pathway regulation are thought to be calcineurin- dependent, this was explored in Af -infected hMDMs (30-32). Significant modulation of

MAPK-AP-1 pathway activation and Ser637 P-Drp1 phosphorylation was observed (Figure

E4D). Thus, RNA- and protein-level analyses further support a role for calcineurin in the macrophage programmed cell death response to Af .

Af containing endosomes transferred from macrophages to macrophage are enveloped within actin-VASP rich cargo

Calcineurin phosphatase activity has multiple NFAT-independent effects on cytoskeletal reorganisation and regulation of MAPK pathways (31, 33, 34). To identify calcineurin phosphatase targets, we performed a comparative phosphoproteomic array on FK506 vs. vehicle pre-treated hMDMs infected with SC (Figure 5A). There were differences in phosphorylation of proteins within the MAPK pathway including c-Jun, and the cell cycle

13

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 17 of 63

regulatory protein CDC25A. This is consistent with our transcriptomic findings of cross-

control between calcineurin, and MAPK pathways and cell death pathways.

The analysis revealed a 26-fold increase in Ser238 phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated

phosphoprotein (VASP) levels in FK506-treated hMDMs (Figure 5A). VASP is an actin

polymerase that promotes assembly of actin networks, and is important for directional

motility and phagocytosis (35-37). Its function is tightly regulated with Ser238

dephosphorylation required for actin filament formation. We therefore postulated that

VASP is a direct calcineurin target. As calcineurin is the only Ca 2+ -activated serine-threonine

phosphatase, we measured Ser238 P-VASP following the addition of the calcium ionophore

ionomycin (to selectively activate calcineurin) to hMDMs with phosphorylated VASP

(induced using a cell permeable cGMP analogue) in the presence or absence of FK506

(Figure 5B). This confirmed that VASP is a major dephosphorylation target of calcineurin.

As VASP is an important actin cytoskeletal regulator, and calcineurin is required for optimal

phagocytosis and transfer of Af, we hypothesized that VASP is involved in actin-dependent

phagocytosis and lateral transfer of Af. Using high-resolution confocal microscopy, we

observed co-localisation of VASP to Af at phagocytic cups, which disappeared following

internalisation (Figures 5C, 5D and Movie 6). Localisation of VASP to Af was not calcineurin-

dependent. During Af lateral transfer at late time-points, high intensity co-localisation of

VASP and actin staining was observed to Af -containing endosomes (Figure 5E). High-

resolution 3D reconstruction revealed that Af containing endosomes trafficked between

macrophages are enveloped within actin-VASP rich cargo (Figure 5C-G and Movie 7).

To determine the role of VASP in macrophage Af phagocytosis, siRNA knockdown of VASP

was performed in human macrophages, followed by analysis of uptake of calcofluor white-

14

stained live Af SC compared to control. This showed that phagocytosis of live Af SC at early time-points is VASP-dependent (P<0.01) (Figure 5H), consistent with the defect seen for calcineurin inhibition (Figure 2B). Taken together, these results indicate that calcineurin has a key role in macrophage actin cytoskeleton re-organisation during fungal infection, by direct de-phosphorylation and activation of the actin polymerase VASP. This enables optimal actin-dependent Af phagocytosis and lateral transfer of Af containing endosomes during programmed necrosis, which are critical to achieve control of germinating conidia.

Discussion

Pulmonary aspergillosis has emerged as a serious infectious complication of a range of immunocompromised states and chronic respiratory diseases. Overt infection is typically characterised by hyper-inflammatory tissue destruction, with more complex relationships between airway colonization and progression of chronic respiratory diseases (38). Here we report human macrophage programmed necrosis as an important response to germination of Af. Whilst necrosis has been recognized as a form of cell death since the mid-nineteenth century, it has recently become clear that programmed necrosis may occur through receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) necroptotic cell death (39). Necroptosis occurs as a first line defense to intracellular pathogens, and is central to the pathogenesis of a number of chronic inflammatory conditions including emphysematous change (40, 41).

Remarkably, we observed frequent lateral transfer of Af during necroptosis which ultimately enabled control of hyphal escape from the macrophage. Transfer occurred through a late endosomal compartment, suggesting that this process may have similarities to exocytosis

(42). Whilst lateral transfer has previously been observed for Cryptococcus neoformans at

low frequency, the molecular basis for transfer and its relationship to cell death or control

of infection have not been previously defined (43). The pathogen escape and transfer

processes described to date are pathogen-mediated, and enhance either tissue

dissemination, or evasion from immune attack (47). However, our observations are

consistent with host-dependent lateral transfer of Af , to limit hyphal escape during

macrophage death. The observation of cell-cell transfer of Af supports a model whereby

inhaled conidia may persist in the myeloid compartment as spores for prolonged periods of

time. This has potentially important implications for individuals who subsequently undergo

immunosuppression.

Notably, we observed that both fungal-driven programmed necrosis and lateral transfer

were calcineurin-dependent, indicating that necroptotic control of infection is likely to be

impaired in organ transplantation. Calcineurin has been postulated to have a role in the

regulation of programmed cell death through interaction with Bcl-2 family proteins (25, 26).

Consistent with this, we found significant calcineurin-dependent expression of Myeloid Cell

Leukaemia 1 (MCL1), a Bcl-2 protein that inhibits apoptosis, and Bcl2 Modifying Factor

(BMF), a member of the pro-death BH3-only subgroup of Bcl-2 family proteins required for

TNFα-induced necroptosis (27). Transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic analysis defined

calcineurin as a key phosphatase mediating cross-control of cell death, the MAPK-AP-1

innate pathway, and VASP-dependent cytoskeletal remodelling during macrophage

infection. Calcineurin inhibition impaired these cellular processes, leading to enhanced

fungal germination in the late phagosome, impaired lateral transfer, and ultimately hyphal

escape. Interestingly, virulent Burkholderia spp. have recently been shown to mimic VASP

actin polymerases to enable cell fusion and spread (44). Whether fungi are able to directly manipulate host actin polymerases remains to be determined.

In summary, we have identified macrophage programmed necrosis as an important response to progressive germination of Aspergillus fumigatus in the human macrophage, and report a previously undescribed phenomenon of cell death-dependent lateral transfer as a co-operative macrophage behaviour that assists in limiting hyphal escape. We show that calcineurin is a key orchestrator of this process, further defining the importance of this pathway in innate immunity. Our findings yield novel insights into host innate immunity to

Af in the lung, extend current understanding of the pathogenesis of PA in organ transplantation, and have broader implications for transplant immunity and chronic lung disease.

Supplementary Experimental Procedures

Zebrafish care and maintenance

All zebrafish experiments were approved by the United Kingdom Home Office and

performed in accordance with the project license PPL 70/7446. Wild-type adult breeders

were purchased from the Zebrafish International Resource Center (Eugene, OR). The

Tg(UAS-E1b:Eco.NfsB.m Cherry)c24 (referred to as mpeg:mCherry) zebrafish lines have been

described elsewhere (1). Embryos were raised in Petri dishes containing 0.5 × E2 medium

supplemented with 0.3 lg/ml of methylene blue. For imaging studies, from 24 h post-

fertilization (hpf), 0.003% 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the medium to

prevent melanin synthesis. Embryos were reared at 30°C, and larvae were anaesthetized

with 200 lg/ml tricaine (Sigma-Aldrich) during the injection and imaging procedures

Fungal strains and culture

Aspergillus fumigatus AFCEA10 was used for the Western blot, Luminex, fungal burden,

Imagestream, phosphoproteomic and RNA sequencing experiments. An eGFP-expressing

strain (ATCC46645-eGFP, a gift from Frank Ebel) was used for all microscopy experiments.

All strains were cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar (Oxoid). Conidia were harvested in

0.1% Tween/H 2O and filtered through MIRACLOTH (Calbiochem, UK). Conidial suspensions

were washed twice in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and resuspended in RPMI (Sigma) at

concentrations shown. To generate swollen conidia (SC), resting conidia (RC) were

suspended in RPMI at 1 × 10 6 conidia/ml and swollen at 37°C for 4 h. Fixed SC were

generated by fixing in 2% formalin for 30 min at 4°C, followed by quenching in 0.1M

ammonium chloride for 10 minutes and further washes in PBS x4.

Isolation of human alveolar macrophages

A total of 240 ml saline bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed by flexible bronchoscopy and return transferred on ice for processing. BAL fluid was passed through a

100μm cell strainer (BD Bioscience, UK) and centrifuged at 400g for 10 min to pellet cells, which were subsequently washed in cold PBS and resuspended in pre-warmed RPMI 1640.

Macrophages were plated at the desired concentration and adhered for 1hour. These purified AMs were then further rested for 3 days to ensure any residual calcineurin inhibitor effect was removed.

Isolation of monocyte-derived macrophages

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 60 ml of healthy volunteer blood or from leukocyte cones purchased from the National Blood Service, Colindale, UK by mixing 3:1 in warm RPMI and layering over Ficoll-Paque plus (GE healthcare) and centrifuging at 450g for 45 minutes. PBMCs were washed at 200g in cold PBS to remove platelets and monocytes subsequently purified by negative magnetic bead selection using a pan-monocyte isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA). To obtain monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), freshly isolated monocytes were cultured with RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% human serum (Sigma, UK) and 5 ng/ml granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (Peprotech, UK) for 7 days at 37°C.

Western blotting

For whole-cell lysates, cells were lysed in 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris (pH 8), 1% Triton X-100 containing proteinase/phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Cell Signalling, US). Cytoplasmic and

nuclear extracts were prepared using the NE-PER extraction reagents (Thermo Scientific).

Extracts were separated by 4–15% Bis-Tris gel (BioRad), and proteins transferred to PVDF

membranes activated with methanol. Membranes were probed with anti-NFATc2 (sc-7296 ,

Santacruz), anti-NF-κB p65 (C22B4), anti-HDAC1 (10E2), anti-Histone H3 (D1H2), anti-β-actin

(8H10D10), anti-DSCR1 (D6694, Sigma, UK), anti-VASP (9A2), anti-phospho-VASP (Ser239)

(3114), anti-SAPK/JNK (9252), anti-phospho-SAPK/JNK (Thr183/Tyr185) (81E11), anti-p38

MAPK (D13E1), anti-phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (D3F9), anti-DRP1 (D6C7) and anti-

phospho-DRP1 (Ser637) (GTX5091, Genetex, US) antibodies. All antibodies, where not

specified, were from Cell Signalling, US.

Luminex and TNF-α ELISA assay

MDMs were plated at 1x10 5 per well in a 96-well plate and pre-treated with FK506

(10ng/ml, Calbiochem), human Dectin-1 blocking antibody (3µg/ml, R&D Systems),

piceatannol (20µM, Cayman Chemical) or vehicle for 1h followed by stimulation with live Af

SC (MOI=1) for 6h. Luminex analysis of culture supernatants was performed using the

Milliplex human cytokine/chemokine magnetic bead panel kit from Merck Millipore.

Supernatants were assayed for TNF-α, GM-CSF, MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-1β. TNF-α

production was additionally assayed using a human TNF-α ELISA kit (R&D Systems)

according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Real-time PCR

AMs and human MDMs were stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) with FK506 or vehicle pre-

treatment for 1h. A total of 5x10 5 macrophages were lysed in Tri Reagent 1 and 6h after

stimulation and whole RNA extracted using TRIzol and purified further using RNAeasy kit

(QIAGEN). RNA was reverse-transcribed using the QuantiTect kit according to the manufacturer’s instruction (Qiagen). Fungal burden was analysed by measuring A. fumigatus

18S rRNA (GenBank accession number AB008401) by real time PCR as described (2). For

RCAN1.4 and TNF-α mRNA expression, RNA was extracted as above from human MDMs stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) pre-treated with or without FK506. RCAN1.4 expression was measured using the primer set, forward primer 5’-AGAAAGCAAGATGCATTTTAGAAAC-3’ and reverse primer 5’-CGCTGAAGATATCACTGTTTGC-3’, and TNF-α was measured using forward primer 5’-CGAGTGACAAGCCTGTAGCC-3’ and reverse primer 5’-

TTGAAGAGGACCTGGGAGTAG-3’. mRNA expression was normalised to β-actin.

Macrophage flow cytometry phenotyping

AMs were harvested at D3 after isolation and MDMs at D7 after differentiation and stained with Zombie-aqua cell viability stain (Biolegend, UK) as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Prior to fixation, cells were blocked on ice for 20mins with human FcR block (1 in 100 dilution in

PBS/0.1%BSA, BD Biosciences) and subsequently stained with antibodies against CD11b,

CD11c, CD206, CD86, HLA-DR, and Dectin-1 for 30mins at RT in the dark (see table below).

All antibodies were from Biolegend, UK. Cells were washed with PBS/0.1%BSA x1, fixed as above and then acquired on a Fortessa flow cytometer. Results were analysed using Flow Jo

(Oregon, US).

Imagestream analysis of phagocytosis

5 x 10 5 MDMs pre-treated with FK506 (10ng/ml) and/or cytochalasin D (5µM, Sigma) for 1h

were stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) pre-stained with Calcofluor White (Sigma).

Infections were synchronised by incubating cells at 4°C for 30min pre and post-infection

before starting the experiment by incubation at 37°C. At specified time-points, macrophages

were washed twice with warm PBS to remove non-internalised Af conidia. Cells were

harvested by incubation with ice-cold PBS and repeat pipetting and centrifugation at 400 x g

for 10 minutes. Cells were stained with nuclear stain DRAQ5 (Cell signalling) and fixed with

2% paraformaldehyde. Fixed cells were run on ImageStreamX (Amnis) and data analysed

using IDEAS software. Single cells with in-focus nuclei were chosen for analysis and

percentage of macrophages with internalised conidial quantified according to Calcofluor

White fluorescence within the cell.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production analysis

MDMs were plated at 1x10 5/well in 96-well TC-treated black clear bottom plates (Fisher

Scientific). Cells were pre-treated with 10 ng/ml FK506 and 5µM cytochalasin D for 1h and

stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1). Infections were synchronised by centrifugation at

1000rpm for 5 min. 10μM dihydrorhodamine 123 (Life technologies) was added to each well

and the reactive oxygen species production measured over 24h using a fluorescent plate

reader (Tecan). For analysis of mitochondrial ROS production, MDMs were plated at

5x10 5/well in 24-well plates and infected with live Af SC (MOI=1) following pre-loading with

Mitotracker Orange CM-H2TMRos (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and pre-treatment with FK506 (10ng/ml), or vehicle, for 1h. Cells were harvested at the required time-points using ice-cold PBS/5mM EDTA and fluorescence quantified by flow cytometry (Fortessa). Results were analysed using Flow Jo (Oregon, US).

Confocal and time-lapse video microscopy for in vitro studies

For confocal microscopy, cells seeded on coverslips were fixed in 2% PFA for 15 minutes followed by quenching in 50mM NH 4Cl for 10 min. Cells were blocked and permeabilised in

PBS containing 10% goat serum (Sigma, UK) and 0.1% Saponin (Sigma, UK) for 2h at room temperature and incubated overnight at 4°C with a primary antibody (anti-NFATc1, clone

7A6, BD Biosciences; anti-Rab 5, clone C8B1, Cell signalling; anti-Rab 7, clone D95F2, Cell

Signalling; anti-LAMP-1, clone H4A3, Biolegend; anti-VASP, clone 9A2, Cell Signalling) in blocking buffer. After washing with PBS, cells were incubated with an anti-rabbit AF555 (Life

Technologies), anti-rabbit Cy5 or anti-mouse Cy5 antibody with or without Phalloidin AF555 or AF643 (Life Technologies) for 45min at room temperature in the dark and mounted with

Vectashield mounting medium containing DAPI (Vector laboratories). Imaging of activated

Cathepsin B and phagosomal acidification was performed on live cells using a Magic Red

Cathepsin B staining kit (Immunochemistry Technologies) and with MDMs pre-stained using

1μM Lysotracker Red DND-99 respectively. Colocalisation of acidification, activated

Cathepsin B and phagosomal markers was assessed by quantifying the average pixel intensity around single conidia using ImageJ. Live time-lapse imaging was performed by plating human MDMs at 1 x 10 5 cells/well in 8-well μ-slides (Ibidi) and stimulating with live

Af SC e-GFP expressing Af, resting Af or fixed Af (MOI=1). Cells were pretreated for 1h with

FK506 (10ng/ml, Calbiochem), Bafilomycin (100nM, Sigma), Z-VAD-FMK (50μM, Promega),

Necrostatin-1 (10μM, Calbiochem), Necrosulphonamide (5μM, Calbiochem) or vehicle.

Following stimulation with Af, propidium iodide was added to the media (1.25μg/ml,

Invitrogen) and lateral transfer events visualised by confocal time-lapse imaging using a

Leica SP5 inverted confocal microscope. To avoid effects on Af uptake, media was replaced

to contain cytochalasin D (5μM, Sigma) and Dynasore (100μM) 1h p.i. and un-internalised

conidia removed by washing with warm RPMI x3. Cells were maintained at 37°C with 5%

CO 2 during imaging and images analysed using ImageJ with 3D reconstructions performed

using Velocity.

Electron microscopy

Human MDMs in 24-well plates were infected with live swollen CEA10 Af conidia (MOI=1).

Un-internalised conidia were removed by washing with warm RPMI x3 at 1h p.i., and

cultures were subsequently fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.05M cacodylate buffer at

15min intervals from 105min p.i. to 180min p.i.. Samples were post-fixed in 1.0% osmium

tetroxide, dehydrated through a methanol series (70-100%) and embedded in epoxy resin.

Regions of interest were selected from 1.0 μm thick toluidine blue-stained resin survey

sections. Ultrathin sections (70–80 nm) were contrast-stained with uranyl acetate and lead

citrate then examined by transmission electron microscope (JEOL 1400+, Jeol Ltd, UK).

Digital images were captured using an AMT 16X camera (Deben, UK).

Zebrafish infection experiments and imaging

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 46 of 63

At 2 days post-fertilization (dpf), zebrafish larvae were transferred into 0.5 × E2. For zebrafish infection studies, 1x10 8 resting e-GFP Af conidia were stained overnight at 4°C with Alexa-flour 488 5-SDP ester (Life Technologies) at 400µg/ml in 250μl of 0.1M NaHCO3 pH 8.3 buffer, washed twice with 0.1%Tween/H 2O followed by PBS and resuspended in PBS containing 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone (Sigma, UK). At Day 3, up to 10μl of prestained AF resting conidia from a stock concentration of 5 x 10 7/ml was injected into the hindbrain resulting in an inoculum of 10 to 50 conidia per embryo. Infected larvae were embedded in

1% agarose in 35mm live-imaging μ-dish (Ibidi) and covered with 0.5 x E2 media.

Macrophage recruitment and AF lateral transfer was imaged with live time-lapse imaging in a humidified incubation chamber at 30°C using a Leica SP5 resonant inverted confocal microscope. Images were analysed using ImageJ and Velocity.

RNA extraction, RNA library preparation and sequencing

5x10 5 MDMs ( n = 6, healthy donors) were plated in 24 well plates and half of the plates pre- treated with 10 ng/ml FK506 for 1h. Cells were stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) for 1h and

6h and total RNA extracted using TRIzol reagent (Life technologies). RNA was further purified using an RNAeasy kit (QIAGEN) with an additional purification step by on-column

DNase treatment using the RNase-free DNase Kit (QIAGEN) to ensure elimination of genomic DNA. RNA quality was analysed using a 2200 Tape station (Agilent Technologies).

RNA with a RIN greater than 9.0 was used for library preparation. One microgram of total

RNA was used to generate RNA-seq libraries using the mRNA seq kit v2 (Illumina, Essex, UK), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, RNA was purified and fragmented using poly-T oligo-attached magnetic beads using two rounds of purification, followed by the first and second cDNA strand synthesis. Next, cDNA 3′ ends were adenylated and

Copyright © 2016 by the American Thoracic Society AJRCCM Articles in Press. Published on 10-May-2016 as 10.1164/rccm.201601-0070OC Page 47 of 63

adapters were ligated, followed by 10 cycles of library amplification. Finally, the libraries

were selected by size using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter) and purified. Constructed

libraries were assessed with a 2200 Tape station and quantified using a KAPA Illumina SYBR

Universal Lib QPCR kit (Anachem Ltd, Bedfordshire, UK) and broad range Qubit analysis

using the QuantiT dsDNA BR assay (Life technologies). Libraries were then sequenced to

generate 150-bp paired-end reads on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Genome facility, MRC Clinical

Science Centre).

Mapping of sequenced reads and differential analysis

Quality filtered Illumina paired-end reads were mapped to human reference genome (hg19)

using the read alignment software TopHat2 with default parameters (3). Genes that have

zero counts across all samples were removed from the dataset. Sequencing and mapping

were controlled for quality using standard tools provided in the FastQC software

(http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/fastqc ). Differential expression analyses

were done with Cufflinks v2.2.1 (4). Genes differentially expressed (DE genes) with FK506

treatment and Af stimulation (at 1h and 6h time points) were identified with 2 fold gene

expression changes (both up and down) with less than 5% false discovery rate (FDR). 492

genes were identified with significant differential expression at 6 hours of FK506 treatment

DE genes were used to construct regulatory networks in Cytoscape and STRING v9.05 (5, 6).

In Cytoscape the DE genes were mapped onto the BioGrid and IntAct protein-protein

network database. Nodes were coloured according to the maximal log 2 ratio across the time

points and placed into functional groups. enrichment, functional

classification of genes and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out using

DAVID v6.7 (7). All GO categories over-represented with adjusted P-value of <0.05 were

obtained for analysis. The Cytoscape Enrichment Map plugin was used to visualize GO biological processes.

PPI network construction and network module analysis

A human PPI network was constructed from the HIPPIE database and the PPI network for the genes expressed in FK506 pre-treated samples were visualised with Cytoscape (8). The network modules were obtained based on the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) analysis using the Cytoscape app. Default parameters (Degree Cutoff: 2, Node Score Cutoff:

0.2, K-Core: 2) were used as the cutoff criteria for network module screening (9). GO term enrichment of network modules with MCODE score >10 above were further analysed using

BinGO plugin in cytoscape (10).

Phosphoproteomic analysis

The Phospho Explorer Antibody Microarray was conducted by Full Moon BioSystems Inc

(California, USA). Human MDMs were differentiated at 1 x 10 7 cells in 75mm 2 tissue culture flasks. At day 7, cells were stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) following pre-treatment for 1h with FK506 (10ng/ml, Calbiochem) or vehicle. At 1h post stimulation, cells were washed (x5) with 10mls ice-cold PBS with protease inhibitor (Cell signalling), and collected by gentle scraping and centrifugation (250g for 10min at 4°C). Cells were frozen at -80°C and transferred to Full Moon Biosystems on dry ice. The array consists of 1,318 phospho-specific antibodies. In brief, proteins were labelled with biotin and placed on pre-blocked microarray slides. After washing, detection of total and phosphorylated proteins was conducted using

Cy3-conjugated streptavidin. Expression of phosphorylated proteins was normalized to

corresponding total protein expression. Fold change was calculated as follows:

phosphorylation of FK506-treated cells/phosphorylation of untreated cells.

siRNA transfection of THP-1 cells and flow cytometry analysis of phagocytosis

3x10 5 THP-1 cells were plated in 24-well plate wells and differentiated with 100ng/ml PMA

(phorbol myristate acetate) overnight. The next day, cells were transfected with 50µM

Signal Silence human VASP siRNA (Cell signalling) and 6µl HiPerfect siRNA transfection

reagent/well according to manufacturers’ instructions. Cells were left for 72h before

washing away remaining complexes with warm RPMI and performing experiments. Cells

were infected with swollen CEA10 conidia pre-stained with Calcofluor White (Sigma) as

above. Infections were synchronised at 4°C. At 30min and 1h p.i. uninternalised conidia

were washed away with warm RPMI and cells were harvested in ice cold PBS/5mM EDTA,

fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and uptake analysed by flow cytometry (Fortessa).

Results were analysed using Flow Jo (Oregon, US).

Statistical analysis

Data were presented as mean ± SEM and were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software

(version 6.0; GraphPad). Significance was determined using a Student’s t test for unpaired

observations; * P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001. If 3 or more groups were compared One-

way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction was used. P < 0.05 was considered statistically

significant.

(C) Phagosomal intensity of maturation markers (Rab5, Rab7 and LAMP-1) assayed by

confocal microscopy in MDMs infected with live Af SC undergoing lateral transfer and 30 p.i.

was quantified by ImageJ. N=3

(D) Time-lapse confocal microscopy was performed of human MDMs infected with live

SC (MOI=1). Propidium iodide was used to analyse cell necrosis. The conidial area (μm2) as a

marker of fungal germination was quantified within cells undergoing programmed necrosis

and surrounding live cells. Conidia that undergo lateral transfer are highlighted in red. N=14

(E-F) Time-lapse widefield microscopy images (E) and representative transmission

electron microscopy images (F) showing vacuole development in Af containing

compartments in macrophages infected with live Af SC. Electron microscopy image was

taken at 180min p.i.. Conidia are indicated by red arrows. Widefield microscopy images

taken from 45min p.i. and subsequently at 45min intervals. (See Movie 4)

(G) Quantification of vacuolar development and lateral transfer in MDMs pre-treated

with Bafilomycin (100nM) and infected with eGFP live Af SC (MOI=1). N=3

(H) MDMs pre-treated with a pan-caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK 50μM), RIPK-1 inhibitor

(Necrostatin-1 10μM), both or vehicle were stimulated with eGFP live Af SC (MOI=1) and fungal burden was quantified by analysis of eGFP fluorescence over time. N=3

(I-J) MDMs pre-treated with FK506 (10ng/ml) or vehicle were stimulated with eGFP- expressing live Af SC (MOI=1) and time-lapse confocal microscopy performed. Fungal burden was quantified by eGFP fluorescence quantification over time (I) and average conidial size 6h p.i. quantified to assess fungal germination (J). N=4

Figure E4. Transcriptome analysis of FK506 pre-treated monocyte-derived macrophages in response to live A. fumigatus infection.

(A) Venn diagram indicating the number of significantly regulated genes after FK506

(10ng/ml) pre-treatment of macrophages stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1). Results shown for 1 and 6 hours together with the overlap between each set of genes.

(B) Selected GO enrichment terms for the differentially expressed genes in MDMs pre- treated after FK506 (10ng/ml) and stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) for 6 hours.

Differentially expressed genes were analysed using the functional annotation tool in DAVID.

(C) Visualisation of selected over represented pathways of differentially expressed genes analysed using ConsensusPathDB (CPDB) interaction map. The node size reflects the total number of components in a pathway; the node colour reflects the p-value of the pathway representation analysis with a darker colour corresponding to a lower p-value.

(D) Monocyte-derived macrophages pre-treated with FK506 (10ng/ml) or vehicle were

stimulated with live Af SC (MOI=1) and whole cell lysates probed by western blot for DRP-1

phosphorylation and MAPK pathway activation.
