Microarray analysis of S. pyogenes Type M1-CdhA55(-) mutant

ABSTRACT: A total of 192 genes were found to be differentially expressed; 38 genes of them were up regulated and 154 genes were down regulated. Most notably the functional categories that were affected include carbohydrate metabolism and cell envelop realted genes ( 56, 29.1% of the total),Virulence genes (12 genes 6.25% of the total significantly differentiated genes), and aminoacid transport genes (7 genes, 3.6 %). Among the virulence-related genes, the most notable ones were those belong to the production of capsule, the M protein, exotoxin, NAD glycohydrolase and Streptolysin S. Some of the capsule related genes were down regulated by more than 64 fold. Additionally 11 differentially expressed lipid metabolism related genes and four aminoacid transport and metabolism-related genes were upregulated. These results indicate that the C-terminal CHAP domain of CdhA (group A Streptococcal Cell division controlling and Chain-forming cell wall hydrolase) plays an important role in the regulation of virulence. Since these mutant lack cell wall hydrolase activity but are not defective in cell division or growth, we believe that CdhA isa multifunctional protein with N-terminal region controlling cell division and c-terminal region responsible for regulating bacterial virulence. S. pyogenes strain SF370 (wild-type) was procured from ATCC (ATCC 700294). M1-CdhA55(-) mutant strain was obtained using pFW5 vector containing spectinomycin resistance marker (aad9). The mutant expressing truncated CdhA that lack C-terminal 55 residues constituting catalytic site of the CHAP domain is not defective in cell division and growth, but lacks antiphagocytic property and attenuated for virulence. Both strains (M1-Wild-type and M1-CdhA55(-) were grown in Todd-Hewitt broth to their late log phase. Bacteria were harvested by centrifugation and washed twice with sterile PBS. Total RNA was isolated from these washed streptococci using Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit. For synthesis and labeling of cDNA, 20 ug of total RNA, 1.5 ug of random hexamer, 0.5mM dNTPs (except that 0.2mM of dTTP was replaced by the same amount of amino-allyl dUTP to incorporate dUTP into first-strand cDNA) were used in each reverse transcriptase reaction (Superscript II Reverse Transcriptase, Invitrogen). Purified cDNA preparations from the wild-type and M1-CdhA55(-) mutant strains were labeled with either Alexafluor-555 or Alexafluor-647 depending on the experimental design ( i.e. dye swap experiment). Differentially labeled probes were then combined and purified. Using three independently isolated RNA preparations (biological replicates), a total of 7 experiments (incorporating dye swaps) were performed. Accordingly 7 hybridization measurements for this mutant were performed. Thus Exp-1 and 2 (GSM389993, GSM389994) are the technical replicates of the biological sample-1, Exp-3 and 4 (GSM389995, GSM390054) are technical replicates of biological sample-2 and Exp-5,-6, and -7 (GSM390055,GSM390056, and GSM390057) are technical replicates of the biological sample-3. Signals of the bound reagents on the microarray spots in terms of relative fluorescence values were measured and quantified by a laser scanner (GenePix 4100 ) at 10um/pixel resolution. The resulting images were processed using Gene Pix Pro software (version 4.0, Axon instruments). The raw data were obtained in the form of GenPix *.gpr output files. The web application CARMAweb (Comprehensive R based microarray analysis web service) was used for the normalization and analysis of microarray data. All raw data (in the form of *. GPR files) were uploaded to the web application in the data directory. Using appropriate navigation tree, background correction from the foreground signal was applied and within microarray normalization was achieved using the Lowess method. Genes flagged as bad spots by the scanning software were excluded from the analysis and all flagged spots were given a weight of zero. The normalized data were then subjected to fold-change analysis and t-statistics using Bioconductor multtest package. CARMAweb allows to set Log2 cut-off values for both the M (regulation) and the A (average expression) values. Differentially expressed genes (Log2 values of Mutant647-red vs. wild-type555-green or Log2 values Mutant-555(green) vs Wild-type 647-red) were defined based on cut-off value >1 Log2< i.e. all genes that show a two or more-fold up- or down-regulation. BioConductors Multtest package provided suitable method to adjust P values according to multiple hypothesis testing problems.

Cell division and cell wall synthesis are closely linked complex phenomena and play a crucial role in the maintenance and regulation of bacterial virulence. Eukaryotic-type Ser/Thr kinases reported in prokaryotes, including that in group A Streptococcus (GAS) (Streptococcus pyogenes Ser/Thr kinase (SP-STK)), regulate cell division, growth, and virulence. The mechanism of this regulation is, however, unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that SP-STK-controlled cell division is mediated under th ...[more]

Project description:A total of 432 genes were found to be differentially expressed in M1SF370 bacterial population internalized in Detroit 562 human pharyngeal cells when compared with the same strain incubated in the absence of Detroit 562 cells. While most of them (349/432 i.e. 80.8%) were up regulated, 83 genes were down regulated contributing to 19.2% of the total differentiated genes. The major contributor of the latter category was phage-related genes (35 genes). Almost ¼ of these genes (106) belonged to a category of Unknown or possible predicted function. Most notably, up-regulated genes belonged to amino acid transport , cell division, cell envelope biogenesis, DNA replication correlated well with up-regulated 67 genes belonged to translation and ribosomal structure. Further, up-regulation of 12/15 virulence-related genes indicated that human host cell internalized bacteria are highly virulent as compared to laboratory grown culture in test-tubes. S. pyogenes strain type M1 SF370 (wild-type) was procured from ATCC (ATCC 700294). Detroit 562 pharyngeal cells were obtained from ATCC and maintained in MEM with 10% FBS in humidified CO2-incubator. Purified cDNA preparations from the Detroit cells-internalized bacteria and that were cultured without Detroit cells, were labeled with either Alexafluor-555 or Alexafluor-647 depending on the experimental design ( i.e. dye swap experiment). Differentially labeled probes were then combined and purified. Using four independently isolated RNA preparations (biological replicates), a total of 8 experiments (incorporating 4 dye swaps) were performed. Accordingly eight hybridization measurements for this mutant were obtained.

Most notably the functional categories that were affected include Virulence genes, carbohydrate genes and lipid synthesis genes. Some of the virulence genes were down regulated by more than 16-32 fold. These results indicate that SDH plays an important role in the regulation of virulence. S.pyogenes strain SF370 (wild-type) was procured from ATCC (ATCC 700294). M1-SDHHbtail (SDH cytoplasmically retained) mutant strain PGB-1 was obtained using pFW5 vector as described before ( Boel G. Jin, H. and Pancholi, V. (2005). Inhibition of cell surface export of groupA streptococcal anchorless surface dehydrogenase (SDH) affects bacterial adherence and antiphagocytic properties. Infect.

Project description:Abstract of associated manuscript: The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma(M) factor is activated by cell envelope stress elicited by antibiotics, and by acid, heat, ethanol and superoxide stresses. Here, we have used several complementary approaches to identify genes controlled by sigma(M). In many cases, expression is only partially dependent on sigma(M) because of both overlapping promoter recognition with other ECF sigma factors and the presence of additional promoter elements. Genes regulated by sigma(M) have a characteristic pattern of induction in response to cell envelope-acting antibiotics as evidenced by hierarchical clustering analysis. sigma(M) also contributes to the expression of the Spx transcription factor and thereby indirectly regulates genes of the Spx regulon. Cell envelope stress responses also include regulons controlled by sigma(W), sigma(B) and several two-component regulatory systems (e.g. LiaRS, YycFG, BceRS). Activation of the sigma(M) regulon increases expression of proteins functioning in transcriptional control, cell wall synthesis and shape determination, cell division, DNA damage monitoring, recombinational repair and detoxification.

Project description:The recent development within high-throughput technologies for expression profiling has allowed for parallel analysis of transcriptomes and proteomes in biological systems such as comparative analysis of transcript and protein levels of tissue regulated genes. Until now, such studies of have only included microarray or short length sequence tags for transcript profiling. Furthermore, most comparisons of transcript and protein levels have been based on absolute expression values from within the same tissue and not relative expression values based on tissue ratios. Presented here is a novel study of two porcine tissues based on integrative analysis of data from expression profiling of identical samples using cDNA microarray, 454-sequencing and iTRAQ-based proteomics. Sequence homology identified 2.541 unique transcripts that are detectable by both microarray hybridizations and 454-sequencing of 1.2 million cDNA tags. Both transcript-based technologies showed high reproducibility between sample replicates of the same tissue, but the correlation across these two technologies was modest. Thousands of genes being differentially expressed were identified with microarray. Out of the 306 differentially expressed genes, identified by 454-sequencing, 198 (65 %) were also found by microarray. The relationship between the regulation of transcript and protein levels was analyzed by integrating iTRAQ-based proteomics data. Protein expression ratios were determined for 354 genes, of which 148 could be mapped to both microarray and 454-sequencing data. A comparison of the expression ratios from the three technologies revealed that differences in transcript and protein levels across heart and muscle tissues are positively correlated. We show that the reproducibility within cDNA microarray and 454-sequencing is high, but that the agreement across these two technologies is modest. We demonstrate that the regulation of transcript and protein levels across identical tissue samples is positively correlated when the tissue expression ratios are used for comparison. The results presented are of interest in systems biology research in terms of integration and analysis of high-throughput expression data from mammalian tissues. Keywords: tissue comparison, platform comparison Tissue samples of heart (HEA) and Longissimus dorsi (LDO) were prepared by pooling from five healthy Hampshire gilts at age four to six months and division into six sub-samples, three for each tissue named HEA1, HEA2, HEA3, LDO1, LDO2 and LDO3. The exact same six tissue samples were used for subsequent expression profiling with cDNA microarray, 454-sequencing and iTRAQ-based proteomics. A reference sample for the cDNA microarray experiment and iTRAQ-based proteomics was constructed by combining the six samples. In the microarray experiment, three cDNA microarray slides were used per sample.

Project description:The introduction of long oligonucleotide-based probes has led to many comparative studies of these two platforms in mammals, but remains to be performed for pig. Further, the characteristics of global gene expression in diverse porcine muscle tissues have not been yet been fully established. This is the first global gene expression study of a collection of nine porcine muscle tissues consisting of cardiac and various skeletal muscle types using both cDNA-based and long oligonucleotide-based microarray platforms. The expression profiles from the two platforms agree in differentiating between cardiac, skeletal red, skeletal intermediate and skeletal white muscle types by producing almost identical hierarchical expression clusters. The clusters from both platforms also reveal that gene expression profiles of the skeletal intermediate type are more similar to the red type than to the white type. Analysis of the ability to identify differentially expressed genes based on gene set analysis and GO term integration show a platform overlap of at least 80% for the cardiac-skeletal comparisons and a platform overlap of at least 58% for the skeletal red-white comparisons. Interestingly, the oligonucleotide platform was always able to identify more GO terms associated with differential expression than the cDNA platform. We further examined the skeletal red-white expression differences and found many GO biological processes that are known to be associated with these phenotypes including calcium ion transport, glycolysis, fatty acid beta-oxidation and muscle contraction. In addition, the expression of genes involved in differentiation between slow (red) and fast (white) muscle types such as MYBPC1, TNNI1, TNNT3 and ATP2A1 is highly regulated between red and white type muscles. Not previously shown to be associated with this tissue difference we found the biological process post-Golgi vesicle-mediated transport. Similar results were obtained with GO classes cellular components and molecular functions. Using the gene expression profiles from the oligonucleotide platform we presented and applied an approach for predicting alternatively spliced transcripts across cardiac and skeletal type muscles. One of the predicted transcripts from the gene named UBE2C has been shown to have six transcript variants in human, but they are not expressed in a cardiac-skeletal specific manner as we have observed here. We speculate that one of our oligonucleotide probes for this gene is able to detect only three of these variants whereas the other detects all six variants and that these variants are expressed in a cardiac-skeletal muscle specific manner. These results supports some of the advantages of using oligonucleotide-based microarray platforms for global gene expression profiling and the observed differences in gene expression among muscle tissues contribute to the understanding of the molecular processes behind porcine muscle biology. Keywords: tissue comparison, platform comparison Muscle tissue samples from heart (HEA), Vastus intermedius (VIN), Infraspinatus (ISP), Supraspinatus (SSP), Biceps femoris (BFE), Longissimus dorsi (LDO), Semimembranosus (SME), Semitendinosus (STE) and Triceps brachii (TBR). A common reference sample was constructed by combining all samples. The exact same tissue samples were used for expression profiling with cDNA microarrays and 70-mer long oligonucleotide microarrays.
