Low frequency parasitized cells in bone marrow alter myelopoiesis following immunization with the live attenuated Leishmania major Cen-/- vaccines

Listed in NCBI GEO

We have developed a live-attenuated Leishmania major strain lacking the Centrin gene (LmCen-/-) as a vaccine candidate got leishmaniasis, which has shown safety and efficacy in pre-clinical studies.

Description

Studies in leishmanization models have shown that persistent infection is necessary for maintaining protective immunity. Here, we evaluated the presence of latent parasites in cells from the bone marrow and their effect on the immune landscape.

Dual-scRNAseq analysis identified parasitized cells in the bone marrow 28 days post-infection in mice following intradermal inoculation with virulent LmWT or LmCen-/- strains. Flow cytometry analysis showed that inoculation with LmCen-/- parasites resulted in elevated myelopoiesis compared to LmWT infection. Cell communication analysis revealed that elevated granulin-sort3 signaling in LmCen-/- infection could be mediating the myelopoiesis.

Monocytes isolated from the bone marrow of LmCen-/- and LmWT infected mice killed virulent LmWT parasites in co-culture experiments suggesting the induction of trained immunity in the bone marrow.
