Project description:Background: Biofilm formation by Salmonella species enhances the capacity of these pathogenic bacteria to survive stresses that are commonly encountered within food processing and during host infection. The persistence of Salmonella within the food chain has become a major health concern, as biofilms can serve as a reservoir to contaminate food products. While the molecular mechanisms required for the survival of bacteria on surfaces are not fully understood, transcriptional studies of other bacteria have demonstrated that biofilm growth triggers the expression of specific sets of genes, compared with planktonic cells. Until now, most transcriptomic studies of Salmonella have focused on the effect of infection-relevant stressors on virulence and on comparing mutant and wild-type (WT). However little is known about the physiological responses taking place inside a Salmonella biofilm. Results: We have determined the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of biofilms of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. We discovered that 124 of detectable proteins were differentially expressed in the biofilm compared with planktonic cells, and that 10% (433 genes) of S. Typhimurium genes showed a biofilm-specific pattern of transcription (i.e. a 2-fold or more change in the biofilm compared with planktonic cells). The genes that were significantly up-regulated implicated specific cellular processes in biofilm development including amino acid metabolism, cell motility, global regulation and tolerance to stress. We found that the most highly down-regulated genes in the biofilm were located on Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 (SPI2), but that a functional SPI2 secretion system regulator (ssrA) was required for WT biofilm formation. We identified STM0341 as a gene of unknown function that was needed for WT biofilm growth. Genes involved in tryptophan (trp) biosynthesis and transport were up-regulated in the biofilm. Deletion of trpE led to a decrease in bacterial attachment and we show that this biofilm defect is restored by exogenous tryptophan or indole. Conclusion: Biofilm growth of S. Typhimurium causes distinct changes in gene and protein expression. Our results show that aromatic amino acids make an important contribution to biofilm formation, and reveal that SPI2 genes, required for virulence in host cells, show opposing patterns of expression to biofilm-specific genes in S. Typhimurium. Overnight cultures of SL1344 grown in CFA broth were standardized to achieve an initial concentration of 10^6 CFU ml-1 and injected into a stirring influent flask containing 5 L of pre-warmed (25C) sterile CFA medium. The inoculated influent was then pumped through silicon tubing (5 mm internal diameter, Samco Silicon Products Ltd.) at 60 ml h-1 using a peristaltic pump (Minipulse 3, Gilson). The bacteria were allowed to flow through the closed system and either attach to a vertical piece of silicon tubing (1 meter length, 16 mm internal diameter, Samco Silicon Products Ltd.) or flow out into a waste reservoir. The tubing was positioned vertically to collect biofilm cells adherent to the tubing and minimise collecting bacteria that had simply sedimented. Possible backflow of media or bacteria into the influent from the silicon tubing was eliminated using media breaks. Samples taken to determine the pH of the medium or bacterial cell counts were removed via a media port located near the effluent and influent vessel, respectively. Planktonic cells were removed after 72 h of growth from the influent vessel to avoid any contamination with biofilm cells. The entire system was kept at a constant temperature of 25C and biofilm cells were isolated after 72 h of growth. All planktonic and biofilm samples were isolated from the same experimental system and used for both RNA and protein isolation. For this study, four biological replicates were performed at four different dates (Jun25, Jul5, Jul16, Oct11; as indicated in the sample title). For the dual-colour microarray hybridisations, we used Salmonella genomic DNA as the comparator which also acted as the control for spot quality. Individual labelled cDNA samples (RNA) were hybridised up to 4 times (technical replicates).

Project description:IL-17C is important for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as IBD and psoriasis. We found that IL-17C is highly induced in a murine model of psoriasis. Recent results suggest that IL-17C can target epithelial cells that express both IL-17RA and IL-17RE receptor chains. Here we identify genes induced in response to IL-17C treatment of human keratinocytes to provide the tools for dissection of the IL-17C signaling pathway. Human keratinocytes, HEKn, were incubated in the absence (n = 3) and presence (n = 5) of 500 ng/ml recombinant human IL-17C for 3 and 24 hours. Whole RNA was isolated via RNeasy kit (Qiagen).

Project description:Plants are continuously exposed to a myriad of abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these stress signals are perceived and transduced are poorly understood. To begin to identify primary stress signal transduction components we have focused on genes that respond rapidly (within 5 min) to stress signals. Because it has been hypothesized that detection of physical stress is a mechanism common to mounting a response against a broad range of environmental stresses, we have utilized mechanical wounding as the stress stimulus and performed whole genome microarray analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf tissue. This led to the identification of a number of rapid wound responsive (RWR) genes. Comparison of RWR genes with published abiotic and biotic stress microarray datasets demonstrates a large overlap across a wide range of environmental stresses. Interestingly, RWR genes also exhibit a striking level and pattern of circadian regulation, with induced and repressed genes displaying antiphasic rhythms. Using bioinformatic analysis, we identified a novel motif overrepresented in the promoters of RWR genes, herein designated as the Rapid Stress Response Element (RSRE). We demonstrate in transgenic plants that multimerized RSREs are sufficient to confer a rapid response to both biotic and abiotic stresses in vivo, thereby establishing the functional involvement of this motif in primary transcriptional stress responses. Collectively, our data provide evidence for a novel cis-element that is distributed across the promoters of an array of diverse stress-responsive genes, poised to respond immediately and coordinately to stress signals. This structure suggests that plants may have a transcriptional network resembling the general stress signaling pathway in yeast and that the RSRE element may provide the key to this coordinate regulation. Experiment Overall Design: Three biological replicates of pooled plants were used for each treatment (Not wounded vs 5 min wounded). Each biological replicate is comprised of 2 technical replicates and a dye swap was performed for each technical replicate.

Project description:The present study used microarray approach to identify the genomewide response to cholera toxin in the presence of nitrate. Considering that fact that the possibility of the existence of multiple GM-NM-1 genes/proteins in plants has not been conclusively ruled out, analysis of the genomewide impact of RGA1 mutation in rice and GPA1 mutation in Arabidopsis reveal only those genes that are under their direct control. On the other hand, assuming that all those different GM-NM-1 subunits in any given plant are regulated by cholera toxin, analysis of the genomwide response to cholera toxin could capture the entire G-protein responsive transcriptome, beyond what can be revealed by the mutant approach. This could reveal even those genes that respond to other, as yet unidentified GM-NM-1 subunits, as well as reveal some genes that are non-specifically regulated by cholera toxin, independent of any G-proteins. Total RNA was isolated from 10 day old excised rice leaves treated with or without cholera toxin in the presence of nitrate.Total RNA was first converted into cDNA and then into cRNA labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes. These were hybridized on the 44K 60-mer whole genome arrays on glass slides. The slides were washed and scanned on an Agilent scanner (G2565B) at 100 % laser power. Data extraction was carried out with Agilent Feature Exiraction software (version 9.1). The experiment was repeated with a biological-cum-technical replicate where total RNA samples were isolated from a fresh batch of rice plants and the cRNAs were labeled with opposite dyes (dye-swap).
