Comparative genomic hybridization of Clostridium difficile strains to identify markers of different ribotypes

Project description:Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) strains belonging to PCR ribotype 027, PFGE type NAP1, REA type B1 and toxinotype III, termed NAP1/027, have been implicated in the increased frequency of outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) in North America and Europe. The NAP1/027 strains appears to be more virulent with an increased mortality and frequency of relapse. Current European C. difficile microarrays are designed to the first sequenced and annotated C. difficile complete genome - strain 630 (ribotype 12). A high density oligonucleotide microarray was designed to C. difficile 630 (CD630) sequence and extra probes corresponding to two PCR ribotypes O27 strains C. difficile R20291 and QCD-32g58 were also included. Comparative genomic hybridisation was used to identify markers of ribotype 027 strains and markers to identify CD630. Strains hybridised to the array included the most prevalent ribotypes found in the UK and Europe (106 and 001) as well as the emerging hypervirulent ribotype 078.

Identification of Clostdridium difficile Immunoreactive Spore Proteins of the Epidemic strain R20291

Project description:Clostridium difficile infections are the leading cause of diarrhea associated to the use of antibiotics. During infection, C. difficile initiates a sporulation cycle leading to the persistence of C. difficile spores in the host and disease dissemination. Nowadays, the development of vaccine and passive immunization therapies against C. difficile have focused on toxins A and B. In the present study, we used an immunoproteome-based approach to identify immunogenic proteins located on the outer layers of C. difficile spores as potential candidates for the development of immunotherapy and/or diagnostic methods against this devastating infection. Experimental design. To identify potential immunogenic proteins on the surface of C. difficile R20291, spore coat/exosporium extracts were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and analyzed for reactivity against C. difficile spore-specific goat sera. Finally, the proteins present at the spot of the interest were in-gel digested with chymotrypsin, and the peptides generated were separated by nanoUPLC followed by MS/MS using a Quad-TOF MS, and corroborated by Ultimate 3000RS nano UHPLC coupled to QExactive Plus Orbitrap MS.

Differences in gene expression between colony and aggregate biofilms of Clostridioides difficile revealed by proteomic profiling

Project description:The protein inventory of the anaerobic pathogen Clostridioides difficile grown in colony or aggregate biofilms was investigated in a comprehensive LC-MS/MS approach. C. difficile has a versatile metabolism and is perfectly equipped to survive and persist inside the mammalian intestine. However, knowledge on how C. difficile exactly resides inside the intestine is still scare. Aggregate or biofilms attached to the epithelium are discussed as possible growth forms and have become a focus in research. However, recent data suggest that the choice of the model strain, timepoint of analysis and the biofilm model significantly impact the outcome of biofilm experiments leading to contradictory results. To address some of these issues, a comprehensive proteomics approach was applied to investigate the metabolism of C. difficile strain 630erm grown in colony or aggregate biofilms. Besides verification of recent findings, a comprehensive overview on the differential expression profile of C. difficile’s cell surface proteins as well as its energy and stress metabolism during the two different forms of biofilm growth could be provided. Additionally, regulatory circuits that were activated in the two different biofilm models were analysed whereby RpoN was determined to be an important regulator of aggregate biofilm formation in C. difficile.

Effect of tcdR mutation in Clostridium difficile sporulation

Project description:Clostridium difficile is an important nosocomial pathogen and the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. Antibiotic use is the primary risk factor for the development of C. difficile-associated disease because it disrupts normal protective gut flora and enables C. difficile to colonize the colon. C. difficile damages host tissue by secreting toxins and disseminates by forming spores. The toxin-encoding genes, tcdA and tcdB are part of a pathogenicity locus, which also encodes the gene tcdR that codes for the toxin genes positive regulator. TcdR is an alternate sigma factor that initiates transcription of tcdA and tcdB at their promoters. Alternative sigma factors are known to regulate virulence and virulence associated genes in many pathogenic bacteria. We created a tcdR mutant in the epidemic-type C. difficile R20291 strain in an attempt to identify the global role of tcdR. A site-directed mutation in tcdR affected both toxin production and sporulation in C. difficile R20291. Spores derived from the tcdR mutant were found to be mildly temperature sensitive. Moreover, nearly two fold more taurocholate was needed to germinate spores from the tcdR mutant than the spores prepared from the wild-type parent strain. Comparison of the tcdR mutant transcriptome with the parent strain revealed many differentially expressed late sporulation genes in the tcdR mutant. These data suggests that gene regulatory networks of toxin production and sporulation in Clostridium difficile are linked with each other.

Differentially expressed genes in rough and smooth colony isolates of Clostridioides difficile

Project description:Purpose: to determine the differentially expressed genes in the phase-variable rough and smooth colony isolates of C. difficile Methods: C. difficile R20291 was grown on BHIS agar to obtain distinct colonies. Individual rough and smooth colonies were chosen for propagation on BHIS-agar for 24 hours as described in Garrett, et al., PLoS Biology, 2019. Growth was collected from n = 2 biological replicates. RNA was purified using TriSure and chloroform, beadbeating, and isopropanol/ethanol precipitation. Quality was verified with Bioanalyzer Assay. Samples were submitted to Genewiz for depletion of rRNA using the TruSeq RiboZero Gold Kit, library preparation, and single-end sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. RNA sequencing analysis was done using CLC Genomic Workbench v20. Reads were mapped to C. difficile R20291 genome using the software's default menalties for mismatch, deletion, and insertion differences from the reference genome. Transcript reads were normalized as RPKM. Results: 88 genes were differentially expressed between bacteria from rough versus smooth colonies, with equal to or greater than a 2-fold change and p < 0.05 with FDR correction.

Clostridium difficile transcriptome of strain R20291 in response to cysteine by using a time-resolved RNA-seqencing

Project description:The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection has been steadily rising over the past decade. Its increased rate is associated with the specific NAP1/BI/027 strains which are “hypervirulent” and have led to several large outbreaks since their emergence. However, the relation between their outbreaks and virulence regulation mechanisms remains unclear. It has been reported that the major virulence factor TcdA and TcdB in C. difficile could be repressed by cysteine. Here, we investigated functional and virulence-associated regulation of C. difficile R20291 in response to cysteine stress by using a time-resolved genome-wide transcriptional analysis. Dramatic changes of gene expression in C. difficile were revealed in functional categories related to transport, metabolism, and regulators under cysteine stress during different phases of growth.
