Project description:In order to study heme-induced global transcriptional changes, we performed a transcriptome-wide analysis of heme influence on the A. aegypti cell line Aag2. As heme-mediated effects on gene expression are thought to be related to oxidative stress, we compared the transcriptional profiles of Aag2 cells challenged with either 50 µM heme or 100 µM of the ROS inducer paraquat, using whole genome microarrays.

Project description:The risk for colon cancer is associated with nutrition, especially with diets high in red meat. Red meat contains the iron porphyrin pigment heme, which induces cytotoxicity of the colon contents and epithelial hyperproliferation. Using a mouse model, we showed that heme caused damage to the colonic surface epithelium and induced compensatory hyperproliferation. Expression levels of heme- and stress-related genes show that heme affects surface cells and not directly crypt cells. Therefore, injured surface cells should signal to crypt TA cells to induce compensatory hyperproliferation. Surface-specific downregulated inhibitors of proliferation were Wnt inhibitory factor 1, Indian Hedgehog, Bone morphogenic protein 2 and possibly Interleukin-15. Heme also upregulated Amphiregulin, Epiregulin and Cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA in the surface cells, however, their protein/metabolite levels were not increased as heme induced surface-specific translation repression by increasing 4E-BP1. Therefore, we conclude that heme induced colonic hyperproliferation and hyperplasia by repressing feedback inhibition of proliferation. C57BL/6 mice received a Westernized diet with or without heme (the polyporphyrin pigment of red meat). Mice received control or heme diet for 14 days. After 14 days, mice were sacrificed and colons were taken out. Swiss rolls were made from the middle 2 cm of the colon. These rolls were used for LCM, and surface cells and crypts cells were separately isolated. RNA was isolated from surface and crypt cells and subjected to gene expression profiling (n=4 control mice and n=3 heme-fed mice).

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that requires iron for growth and virulence, yet this nutrient is sequestered by the innate immune system during infection. When iron is limiting, P. aeruginosa expresses the PrrF1 and PrrF2 small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which post-transcriptionally repress expression of non-essential iron-containing proteins thus sparing this nutrient for more critical processes.The genes for the PrrF1 and PrrF2 sRNAs are arranged in tandem on the chromosome, allowing for the transcription of a longer heme-responsive sRNA, termed PrrH. While the functions of PrrF1 and PrrF2 have been studied extensively, the role of PrrH in P. aeruginosa physiology and virulence is not well understood. In this study, we performed transcriptomic and proteomic studies to identify the PrrH regulon.

Project description:Splenic red pulp macrophages (RPM) degrade senescent erythrocytes and recycle heme-associated iron. The transcription factor Spic is selectively expressed by RPM and is required for their development, but the physiologic stimulus inducing Spic is unknown. Here, we report that Spic also regulated the development of F4/80+VCAM+ bone marrow macrophages (BMM) and that Spic expression in BMM and RPM development was induced by heme, a metabolite of erythrocyte degradation. Pathologic hemolysis induced loss of RPM and BMM due to excess heme but induced Spic in monocytes to generate new RPM and BMM. Spic expression in monocytes was constitutively inhibited by the transcriptional repressor Bach1. Heme induced proteasome-dependent BACH1 degradation and rapid Spic derepression. Further, cysteine-proline dipeptide motifs in BACH1 that mediate heme-dependent degradation were necessary for Spic induction by heme. These findings are the first example of metabolite-driven differentiation of a tissue-resident macrophage subset and provide new insight into iron homeostasis. Global gene expression pattern of bone marrow-derived macrophages generated with GM-CSF in vitro and treated with heme were compared to those treated with vehicle at 6 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours after treatment. GM-CSF cultures of Spic(igfp/igfp) BM cells were treated with heme (80 µm) or vehicle after 6 days in culture. Adherent fraction of cells were harvested 6 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours after treatment and RNA was isolated using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and submitted for amplification, labeling and hybridization. Expression values were analyzed after RMA quantile normalization using ArrayStar software (DNASTAR).

Project description:Porphyromonas gingivalis is an anaerobic, Gram-negative oral pathogen associated with chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis has an obligate requirement for heme which it obtains from the host. Heme availability has been linked to disease initiation and progression. In this study we used continuous culture of the bacterium to determine the effect of heme limitation and excess on the P. gingivalis proteome. Four biological replicates of whole cell lysate (WCL) and outer membrane vesicle (OMV) samples were digested with trypsin and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry and MaxQuant label-free quantification. In total, 1211 proteins were quantified with 108 and 49 proteins significantly changing in abundance more than 1.5-fold (p<0.05) in the WCLs and OMVs respectively. The proteins most upregulated in response to heme limitation were those involved in binding and transporting heme while the four proteins most upregulated in the heme excess condition constitute a putative heme efflux system. In general, the protein abundance ratios obtained for OMVs and WCLs agreed, indicating that changes to the OM protein composition are passed on to OMVs, however 16 proteins were preferentially packaged into OMVs in one condition more than the other. In particular, moonlighting cytoplasmic proteins were preferentially associated with OMVs under heme excess.

Project description:The risk for colon cancer is associated with nutrition, especially high fat and low calcium diets high in red meat. Red meat contains the iron porphyrin pigment heme, which induces cytotoxicity of the colon contents and epithelial hyperproliferation.

Expression levels of heme- and stress-related genes show that heme affects surface cells and not directly crypt cells.

Project description:Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia. Here we explore the possible causal role of the gut microbiota in heme-induced hyperproliferation. To this end, mice were fed a purified control or heme diet (0.5 μmol/g heme) with or without broad-spectrum antibiotics for 14 d. Heme-induced hyperproliferation was shown to depend on the presence of the gut microbiota, because hyperproliferation was completely eliminated by antibiotics, although heme-induced luminal cytotoxicity was sustained in these mice. Colon mucosa transcriptomics revealed that antibiotics block heme-induced differential expression of oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and cell turnover genes, implying that antibiotic treatment prevented the heme-dependent cytotoxic micelles to reach the epithelium. Our results indicate that this occurs because antibiotics reinforce the mucus barrier by eliminating sulfide-producing bacteria and mucin-degrading bacteria (e.g., Akkermansia). Sulfide potently reduces disulfide bonds and can drive mucin denaturation and microbial access to the mucus layer. This reduction results in formation of trisulfides that can be detected in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, trisulfides can serve as a novel marker of colonic mucolysis and thus as a proxy for mucus barrier reduction. In feces, antibiotics drastically decreased trisulfides but increased mucin polymers that can be lysed by sulfide. We conclude that the gut microbiota is required for heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation and hyperplasia because of the capacity to reduce mucus barrier function. Mice were fed a Westernized high fat control diet, or the same diet supplemented with 0.5 µmol heme/g diet. One group of control and one group of heme mice received a mixture of broad spectrum Antibiotics (Abx) (ampicilin, neomycin and metronidazole) in their drinking water. After 14 days of intervention, mice were killed and gene expression was profiled in colon.

Project description:Colon cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths in Western countries and is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the iron-porphyrin pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of gut contents which injures surface cells leading to compensatory hyperproliferation of crypt cells. This hyperproliferation results in epithelial hyperplasia which increases the risk of colon cancer. In humans, a high red-meat diet increases Bacteroides spp in feces. Therefore, we simultaneously investigated the effects of dietary heme on colonic microbiota and on the host mucosa of mice. Whole genome microarrays showed that heme injured the colonic surface epithelium and induced hyperproliferation by changing the surface to crypt signaling. Using 16S rRNA phylogenetic microarrays, we investigated whether bacteria play a role in this changed signaling. Heme increased Bacteroidetes and decreased Firmicutes in colonic contents. This shift was most likely caused by a selective susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria to heme cytotoxic fecal water, which is not observed for Gram-negative bacteria, allowing expansion of the Gram-negative community. The increased amount of Gram-negative bacteria most probably increased LPS exposure to colonocytes, however, there is no appreciable immune response detected in the heme-fed mice. There was no functional change in the sensing of the bacteria by the mucosa, as changes in inflammation pathways and Toll- like receptor signaling were not detected. This unaltered host-microbe cross-talk indicates that the changes in microbiota did not play a causal role in the observed hyperproliferation and hyperplasia. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Mice were fed a Westernized high fat control diet, or the same diet supplemented with 0.5 M-BM-5mol heme/g diet. After 14 days of intervention, mice were killed and gene expression was profiled in colon.
