Transcription Profiling of the Persister Phenotype in Escherichia Coli

ABSTRACT: When bacteria are challenged with antimicrobials, small numbers of cells may survive treatment. These so-called persister cells are not mutants, but are a set of phenotypic variants which, after re-growth exhibit the same susceptibility properties as their progenitor populations. The presence of persisters may determine the effective therapeutic dose of antibiotics and account for the intractability of biofilm-related infections. In the current investigation, Escherichia coli persister cells were isolated without prior exposure to antimicrobials, using fluorescence-assisted cell sorting of a strain, labelled with a chromosomal green fluorescent protein marker. Levels of persistence were inversely proportional to fluorescence intensity in the gfp-tagged E. coli population, and separated persister cells showed enhanced expression of two groups of genes located in the e14 and CP4-6 cryptic prophage regions when analysed by DNA microarray.

E. coli BW25113 K-12 hfq vs. wild-type persister

Project description:Persisters are cells which evade stresses like antibiotics and which are characterized by reduced metabolism and a lack of genetic alterations required to achieve this state. We showed previously that MqsR and MqsA of Escherichia coli are a toxin-antitoxin pair that influence cell physiology (e.g., biofilm formation and motility) via RNase activity as well as through regulation of toxin CspD. Here, we show that deletion of the mqsRA locus decreases persister cell formation and, consistent with this result, overexpression of MqsR increases persister cell formation. Furthermore, toxins Hha, CspD, and HokA increase persister cell formation. In addition, by overproducing MqsR in a series of isogenic mutants, we show that Hha and CspD are necessary for persister cell formation via MqsR overexpression. Surprisingly, Hfq, a small RNA chaperone, decreases persistence. A whole-transcriptome study shows that Hfq induces transport-related genes (oppA, oppB, oppC, oppD, oppF, and dppA), outer membrane protein-related genes (ybfM and ybfN), toxins (hha), and proteases (clpX, clpP, and lon). Taken together, these results indicate that toxins CspD and Hha influence persister cell formation via MqsR and that Hfq plays an important role in the regulation of persister cell formation via regulation of transport or outer membrane proteins. Strains: E. coli BW25113 K-12 hfq deleted mutant vs. wild-type Medium: LB Culture: Planktonic cell grown OD=0.5, adjusted OD=1.0, and then exposed to 100 ug/mL ampicillin for 2 h.

Expression data from TOP-GFP sorted colon cancer cells

Project description:Colon cancers typically contain tumor cell populations with differential WNT signaling activity. Colon cancer cells with high WNT-activity have been attributed increase tumorigenic potential and stem cell characteristics. We extracted tumor cells with differential WNT activity using fluorescent reporters from xenografted human colon cancer cell line tumors and primary human colon cancer xenografts and analysed their gene expression profiles. Colon cancer cell lines and primary colon cancer xenografts were transduced with lentiviral TOP-GFP reporters, and grown as xenografts in NOD-SCID mice. We disaggregated these tumors, flow sorted for GFPhigh and GFPlow tumor cells and subjected these populations to gene expression profiling.

Expression profile for overproduction of DosP

Project description:Persister cells are a sub-population of all bacterial cultures which exhibit a non-inheritable, multi-drug tolerance when subjected to lethal antibiotic challenge. These persisters arise as a result of metabolic dormancy, and can resume growth subsequent to antibiotic challenge, leading to recalcitrance of bacterial infections. Overproduction of DosP, an oxygen sensing protein with phosphodiesterase activity, increases bacterial persistence. Here we performed a microarray to determine the expression profile induced by DosP as a means to elucidate mechanisms of persister cell formation. dosP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli K-12 BW25113 and compared to the empty vector.

Expression profiling of mouse CD4+ T cells following Klf1 retrovirus vector transfection

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 1 (Klf1) is a transcription factor that promotes β-globin synthesis in erythroid progenitors, and its role in immunological homeostasis is unknown. The full-length mRNA of mouse Klf1(NM-010635) was cloned into the pMIG retroviral vector, which contains an IRES-GFP cassette. Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were cultured for 48 h in the presence of Concanavalin A (ConA) (10 μg/mL) and IL-2 (50 μg/mL), and gene transduction was conducted. CD4+ T cells that were transfected with retroviral vectors were divided into 3 fractions according to GFP fluorescence (strongly positive, weakly positive and negative) using a FACSVantage flow cytometer. Total RNA was then extracted. Sequence libraries were prepared according to standard methods using Smart-seq2 (Illumina), and they were analyzed with a next generation sequencer, a MiSeq system (Illumina).

Overexpression of RORA in primary mouse in vitro Th2

Project description:Naive CD4 T cells were taken from spleens of wild-type mice, and activated with CD3/CD28. IL4 was added to induce Th2. The cells were transduced with retrovirus to overexpress RORA vs control. Three different viral constructs were tested. M6-Rora2_mCherry appear to give the best result based on RNAseq validation of Rora expression. Rora2 = ENSMUST00000113624

Proteome dynamics in persisting and resuscitating bacterial cells

Project description:Bacterial persister cells become transiently tolerant to antibiotics by restraining their growth and metabolic activity. Detailed molecular characterization of bacterial persistence is hindered by low count of persisting cells and the need for their isolation. Here we used sustained addition of stable isotope-labeled lysine to selectively label the proteome of hipA-induced persisting and hipB-induced resuscitating E. coli cells in minimal medium after antibiotic treatment. Time-resolved, 24-hour measurement of label incorporation allowed detection of more than 500 newly synthetized proteins in persister cells, demonstrating low but widespread protein synthesis during persistence. Many essential proteins were newly synthesized; several ribosome-associated proteins showed unusually high synthesis levels and are involved in maintenance of persistence. At the onset of resuscitation, cells synthesized ABC transporters, restored translation machinery and resumed metabolism by inducing glycolysis and biosynthesis of amino acids. This dataset provides an unprecedented insight into the processes governing persistence and resuscitation of bacterial cells.

Gene expression profiling of drug-tolerant persister BT474 breast cancer cells derived from lapatinib treatment

Project description:Acquired drug resistance prevents targeted cancer therapy from achieving stable and complete responses. Emerging evidence implicates a key role for nonmutational mechanisms including changes in cell state during early stages of acquired drug resistance. Targeting nonmutational resistance may therefore present a therapeutic opportunity to eliminate residual surviving tumor cells and impede relapse. A variety of cancer cell lines harbor quiescent, reversibly drug-tolerant âpersisterâ cells which survive cytotoxic drugs including targeted therapies and chemotherapies. These persister cells survive drug through nonmutational mechanisms which are poorly understood. Specifically targeting persister cells is a promising strategy to prevent tumor relapse. We sought to identify therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities in persister cells using the HER2-amplified breast cancer line BT474 as an experimental model. Similar to other persister cell models, upon treatment with the HER2 inhibitor lapatinib (2uM concentration) for nine or more days, the majority of BT474 cells die, revealing a small population of quiescent surviving persister cells. Removal of lapatinib allows the persister cells to regrow and to re-acquire sensitivity to lapatinib. Subsequent lapatinib treatment re-derives persister cells. The reversibility of persister cell drug resistance indicates a nonmutational resistance mechanism. Here we provide RNAseq gene expression profiling data generated from parental BT474 cells compared to BT474 persister cells generated from nine days of treatment with 2 uM lapatinib. These data can be used to identify genes and pathways which are upregulated in persister cells, revealing potential therapeutic targets. 3 biological replicates of BT474 persister cells, two biological replicates of BT474 parental cells
