Innate versus specific immunity
Dranoff, 2004
Innate immunity: - rapid - not-specific, indiscriminate
- lacks immunological memory
Adaptive immunity: - needs 10-14 days - a specific activation against a particular microorganism, enhancing the effectivity of the response - builds immunological memory

What are the pathways distinguishing Training vs Tolerance ?
Warburg effect:
A metabolic switch
- Switch from oxidative phosphorylation -> glycolysis - Results in more lactate and faster production of ATP
Trained immunity:

1) Does BCG induce epigenetic changes at a genome wide level? 2) Can we demonstrate the impact of BCG in a model of human infection?

BCG induced genome wide histone modifications
• ChIP-sequencing • H3K27ac changes in monocytes of 7 volunteers
Arts and Moorlag et al. Cell host and Microbe, 2018
Several important signaling and inflammatory related pathways upregulated
- EGFR, VEGF, FGF, cytokines and chemokines
- PI3K-Akt
Pathway analysis of H3K27ac changes
Arts and Moorlag et al. Cell host and Microbe, 2018
BCG induces enhanced cytokine responses

Impact of BCG in a model of human infection
Arts and Moorlag et al. Cell host and Microbe, 2018
Induction of IL-1β correlates with YF viremia
Arts and Moorlag et al. Cell host and Microbe, 2018
• BCG vaccine induces genome wide epigenetic changes
→ functional changes in signaling and inflammatory pathways
• BCG protects against a viral human experimental infection
→ induction of IL-1β is the most reliable correlate of this protection
• IL-1β is a crucial mediator of trained immunity
Conclusions
Trained immunity induces Functional Reprogramming of Myeloid Precursor Cells
Christ et al. Cell, 2018
Innate memory in health & disease
Training programs
Tolerance programs
• Innate immunity maturation • Nonspecific protection by vaccines - e.g. BCG vaccine
• Mucosal tolerance • Limitation of tissue damage in infection
• Contributes to hyperinflammation: - atherosclerosis - reumatoid artritis - diabetes
Training programs
Tolerance programs
• Immune paralysis in sepsis

Trained immunity and atherosclerosis
Applications
• Trained immunity as a new strategy to modulate levels of IL-1:
1) enhance IL-1 responses to improve bone marrow recovery
• Boost the immune system of young children and elderly people
2) inhibition of trained immunity in IL-1 driven autoinflammatory diseases
• Improve vaccination responses
Effect of BCG on influenza vaccination (1)
• Influenza-related morbidity and mortality remain high
• Seasonal vaccination is the backbone of influenza management but does
not always result in protective antibody titers
• Nonspecific effects of BCG vaccination
• Could BCG vaccination could also enhance immune responses to influenza vaccination?
Leentjens et al., J Infect Dis. 2015
Methods
Healthy volunteers received: - live attenuated BCG vaccine (n = 20) or placebo (n = 20) in a randomized fashion - trivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later
Outcome: - Hemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) antibodies - ex vivo leukocyte responses
Leentjens et al., J Infect Dis. 2015
BCG enhances HI antibody responses
In BCG-vaccinated subjects: enhanced HI antibody responses against the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) vaccine strain
Trend toward more-rapid seroconversion
Nonspecific effects of influenza vaccination
Before vs after influenza vaccination Before vs after BCG vaccination
• Modulation of cytokine responses against unrelated pathogens
