The sigma factor E of Mycobacterium tuberculosis modulates the inflammatory response of macrophages

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is well adapted to survive in macrophages and usually subverts the bactericidal mechanisms of these professional phagocytes. The adaptation of Mtb to the intracellular life depends on its ability to regulate the expression of its genes. Among the most important bacterial transcription activators are the sigma factors that bind to the RNA polymerase and give it promotor specificity. Sigma factor E (SigE) controls the expression of genes that are essential for Mtb virulence. Analysis of the macrophage transcriptional response indicated that proteins encoded by the sigE regulon are involved in the modulation of the macrophage inflammatory response. We compared the global gene expression of mouse bone marrow macrofages infected with H37Rv and SigE to the gene expression profile of the uninfected macrophages.

Sigma factor E of Mycobacterium tuberculosis controls the expression of bacterial components that modulate macrophages

Project description:Sigma factor E (SigE) controls the expression of genes that are essential for Mtb virulence. In this work, we have identified the SigE regulon during infection of macrophages Our results indicate that SigE regulates the expression of genes involved in the maintenance of Mtb cell envelope integrity and function (i.e., detoxification and secretion). Keywords: strains comparison We compared the global gene expression of the H37Rv strain and the sigE mutant strain of Mtb in different conditions: growing exponentially in liquid media; after 2h of incubation in RPMI; or after 24 hours of infection of human macrophage-like THP-1 cells.

The global transcriptional profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during human macrophages infection

Project description:During lung infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resides in macrophages and subverts the bactericidal mechanisms of these professional phagocytes. In this work we have analyzed by DNA microarray technique the global transcription profile of Mtb infecting primary human macrophages in order to identify putative bacterial pathogenic factors that can be relevant for the intracellular survival of Mtb. Keywords: time course We compared the global gene expression of the H37Rv strain of Mtb after 4 hours and 24 hours of infection of human macrophage-like THP-1 cells with the gene expression profile of the strain growing exponentially in broth cultures.

Comparison between GT and SigE overexpressed strains of cyanobacteria

Project description:SigE is a global regulator for sugar catabolism in a unicelluar cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. We constructed SigE-overexpressing strain, named GOX50, by introducing the sigE genes fusing psbAII promoter by homologous recombination. The transcript profiles of parental wild-type strain GT and GOX50 were compared by microarray CyanoChip (Takrara bio.). Experiments were performed by three times with biologically independent RNA. The results showed that genes for the oxidaditive pentose phosphate pathway and glycogen catabolism were induced by SigE overexpression. Total RNAs from three independent wild-type (GT) and three independent SigE-overexpression strains were differently labeled by Cy3 or Cy5, followed by hybridyzation on CyanoChip.

Complex interactions of stress-associated regulons in an mprAB deletion mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Using a deletion mutant lacking portions of the response regulator, MprA, and the histidine kinase, MprB, we demonstrated by DNA microarrays that MprAB activates sigE and sigB under SDS stress and during logarithmic growth. Keywords: effects of 0.05% SDS on Mtb gene expression

Transcription profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis wild type and sigE mutant strains after exposure to stress induced by SDS

Project description:In previously published work, we identified three Mycobacterium tuberculosis sigma (s) factor genes responding to heat shock (sigB, sigE and sigH ). Two of them (sigB and sigE ) also responded to SDS exposure. As these responses to stress suggested that the s factors encoded by these genes could be involved in pathogenicity, we are studying their role in physiology and virulence. In this work, we characterize a sigE mutant of M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The sigE mutant strain was more sensitive than the wild-type strain to heat shock, SDS and various oxidative stresses. It was also defective in the ability to grow inside both human and murine unactivated macrophages and was more sensitive than the wild-type strain to the killing activity of activated murine macrophages. Using microarray technology and quantitative reverse transcriptionÐpolymerase chain reaction (RTÐPCR), we started to define the sigmaE regulon of M. tuberculosis and its involvement in the global regulation of the stress induced by SDS. We showed the requirement for a functional sigE gene for full expression of sigB and for its induction after SDS exposure but not after heat shock. We also identified several genes that are no longer induced when sigmaE is absent. These genes encode proteins belonging to different classes including transcriptional regulators, enzymes involved in fatty acid degradation and classical heat shock proteins.
