Project description:Background: Telavancin is a novel semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide derivative of vancomycin with a decylaminoethyl side chain that is active against Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus strains resistant to methicillin or vancomycin. This study describes transcriptome alterations in S. aureus strain ATCC29213 treated with telavancin for 15 min and 60 min in comparing with other agents treatment, including vancomycin, enduracidin, m-chlorophenylhydrazone. MHB cultures (biological replicates: N=3) were then grown to exponential phase (OD580=0.35) before the addition of telavancin(8 M-BM-5g/ml final concentration), or vancomycin (10 /M-BM-5g ml) or CCCP (2 M-BM-5g/ ml ); or enduracidin (1 M-BM-5g ml) and incubated for an additional 15 min , and 60 min before sampling. Dye-swapping was performed between samples.

Project description:Escherichia coli O157:H7 has caused serious outbreaks of foodborne illness via transmission in a variety of food vehicles, including unpasteurized apple juice, dried salami, and spinach. To understand how this pathogen responds to the multiple stresses of the food environment, we compared global transcription patterns after exposure to apple juice. Transcriptomes of mid-exponential and stationary phase cells were evaluated after 10 minutes in model apple juice (pH3.5) using microarrays probing 4,886 ORFs. Significant changes in gene expression were determined using R/MAANOVA and the Fs test. A total of 331 ORFs were significantly induced upon exposure of cells to model apple juice and included genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses as well as the oxidative stress response and envelope stress. Genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses, including asr, osmC, osmB, and osmY were significantly induced in response to model apple juice. Genes involved in the envelope stress response, known to be controlled by CpxR (cpxP, degP, and htpX), were significantly induced 2 to 15 fold upon exposure to apple juice, independent of growth phase. Inactivation of CpxRA resulted in a significant decrease in survival of O157:H7 in model apple juice compared to the isogenic parent strain. Of the 331 ORFs induced in model apple juice, 104 are O157-specific ORFs, including those encoding type three secretion effectors espJ, espB, espM2, espL3 and espZ. By elucidating the response of O157:H7 to acidic foods, we hope to gain insights into how this pathogen is able to survive in food matrices and how exposure to foods affects subsequent transmission and virulence. Keywords: stress The results are based on O157:H7 Sakai exponential and stationary phase cultures grown in MOPS minimal medium and then exposed to model apple juice (pH 3.5, 37C) for 10 minutes. Differences in transcript levels were determined using a mixed model ANOVA in R/MAANOVA which tested for significant differences due to growth phase (exponential or stationary), treatment (MOPS or MAJ) and the interaction of these two factors using the following linear model: array+dye+sample (biological replicate)+ phase+treatment+phase*treatment. We incorporated the dye-swaps among the biological replicates.

Project description:Vitamin D is the strongest known natural anti-proliferative. A large number of studies in a wide spectrum of cancers, including epidemiological, in vitro and animal models, demonstrate that the active form of Vitamin D has anti-cancer benefits, affecting both progression and metastasis. Alike the role in calcium Vitamin D regulation, its anti-proliferative effect is thought to function through the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), although convincing evidence is lacking. Notwithstanding, separation of the calcemic and the anti-proliferative activity of Vitamin D analogues has been a major obstacle in developing new drugs for the treatment of cancer. The work presented attempts to unveil the molecular mechanism behind the anti-proliferative action of Vitamin D using genomic tools. For that purpose four independently developed Vitamin D sensitive/resistant MCF7 cell line pairs were collected. These unique biological replicates enabled us, both to increase the power of our study and to omit the use of Vitamin D. We deem this omission crucial since in the presence of Vitamin D only downstream genes involved in proliferation and cell cycle would be identified rather than causal resistance genes. The use of a variety of genomic techniques including expression, NMD and oligo CGH arrays reveal in the resistant cell lines the 11q13-14 as a region of DNA copy number loss and an altered expression of EGFR signaling pathway genes. Surprisingly, no genes known from calcium Vitamin D regulation were identified, nor did the VDR silencing by RNAi induce resistance to the sensitive cell lines. Keywords: Expression microarray, cell type comparision Several MCF7 breast tumor cell lines independently derived from the human breast cancer cell line, both resistant and sensitive to Vitamin D, were used. The pairs of cell lines (parental-resistant) were developed in different laboratories and using different methodologies; while some cell lines acquired resistance by long exposure to the physiological concentration of Vitamin D (100nM), others were induced to resistant by being exposed to increasing amounts of Vitamin D. A total of 14 microarray expression experiments were carried out, including four biological replicates and 10 technical replicates including dye swaps. In all microarray experiments RNA from the Vitamin D resistant cell line was hybrizided agains RNA from the respsective sensitive/parental cell line.

Project description:A highly pathogenic Campylobacter jejuni clone has recently emerged as the major cause of Campylobacter-associated sheep abortion in the U.S. and is also associated with foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. A distinct phenotype of this clone is its ability to induce bacteremia and abortion. To facilitate understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of this hyper virulent clone, the differences in global gene expression patterns between this hyper virulent clone (IA3902) and a non-abortifacient strain (NCTC 11168) were compared by DNA microarray. One-condition experiment, IA3902 vs NCTC11168. Biological replicates: 3 IA3902 , 3 NCTC11168. One replicate per array.

Project description:Two decades after the introduction of oil-based vaccines in the control of bacterial and viral diseases in farmed salmonids, the mechanisms of induced side effects manifested as intra-abdominal granulomas remain unresolved. Side effects have been associated with generation of auto-antibodies and autoimmunity but underlying profile of the inflammatory and immune response has not been characterized. This study was undertaken with the aim to elucidate the inflammatory and immune mechanisms of granuloma formation at gene expression level associated with high and low side effect (granuloma) indices. Groups of Atlantic salmon parr were injected intraperitoneally with oil-adjuvanted vaccines containing either high or low concentrations of Aeromonas salmonicida or Moritella viscose antigens in order to induce polarized (severe and mild) granulomatous reactions. The established granulomatous reactions were confirmed by gross and histological methods at 3 months post vaccination when responses were known to have matured. The corresponding gene expression patterns in the head kidneys were profiled using salmonid cDNA microarrays followed by validation by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). qPCR was also used to examine the expression of additional genes known to be important in the adaptive immune response. Granulomatous lesions were observed in all vaccinated fish. Presence of severe granulomas were associated with a profile of up-regulation of innate immunity-related genes such as complement factors C1q and C6, mannose binding protein, lysozyme C, C-type lectin receptor, CD209, Cathepsin D, CD63, LECT-2, CC chemokine and metallothionein. In addition, IL-17A (Th17) was significantly up-regulated (p=0.009) in the group with severe granulomas as were arginase and IgM. None of the genes directly reflective of Th1 T cell lineage (IFN-γ, CD4) or Th2 (GATA-3) differentiation were differentially expressed. Granulomatous reactions following vaccination with oil-based vaccines in Atlantic salmon has the profile of strong expression of genes related to innate immune responses. The expression of IL-17A suggests an involvement of Th17 T cell lineage and is in conformity with strong infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages into inflamed areas. Arginase upregulation shows that macrophages in these reactions are alternatively activated, indicating a Th2-bias. To what extent the IL-17A profile reflects an autoimmune vaccine-based reaction remains elusive but would be in conformity with previous observations of autoimmune reactions in salmon vaccinated with oil-based vaccines. RNA from 12 head kidney samples (12 fish) per group were pooled into groups of 4. The RNA was amplified prior to hybridization to arrays. Three biological and 2 technical replicates (dye-swapped) were utilized in different combinations to hybridize to 18 arrays using RNA from fish with the least injection-site inflammatory reactions (FO-1) as the reference group. The assignment of microarrays to treatment groups for hybridization was randomised by using a random number generator. To minimize technical variability, target synthesis was done in batches of 6 where all treatment groups were equally represented.

Project description:Two outbreak strains of E. coli O157:H7 differ phylogenetically, in gene content, and in epidemiological characteristics. The working hypothesis in this experiment was that these strains will also differ in the transcription of shared virulence genes. Indeed, following a 30 minute exposure to epithelial cells, strain TW14359 overexpressed major and ancillary virulence genes, relative to strain Sakai. E. coli O157:H7 strains were physiologically normalized by growth to stationary phase, twice, in MOPS minimal media. Cultures were then transferred to DMEM media for adaptation. After 3 h of growth in DMEM, O157:H7 cultures were used to infect monolayers of MAC-T epithelial cells. 30 min following incubation, aliquots of suspended, non-adherent bacteria were used for RNA extraction. Five biological replications of the experiment were performed with each strain and, together with dye-swaps, 10 array hybridizations were carried out. Array data were fitted to a mixed model ANOVA using the following linear model: array+dye+sample (biological replicate)+strain+error.
