The presence of persister cells has been proposed as a factor in biofilm resilience. In the present study we investigated whether persister cells are present in Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) biofilms, what the molecular basis of antimicrobial tolerance in Bcc persisters is, and how persisters can be eradicated from Bcc biofilms. After treatment of Bcc biofilms with high concentrations of various antibiotics often a small subpopulation survived. To investigate the molecular mechanism of tole ...[more]

Nucleoside Analogues are Potent Inducers of Bacterial Mutagenesis

Project description:Drugs targeting DNA and RNA in mammalian cells or viruses can also affect bacteria present in the host and thereby induce the bacterial SOS system. This has the potential to increase mutagenesis and the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here we have examined nucleoside analogues (NAs) commonly used in anti-viral and anti-cancer therapies for potential effects on mutagenesis in Escherichia coli using the Rifampicin mutagenicity assay. To further explore the mode of action of the NAs, we appliedanalyzed metabolome and proteome of E.coli deletion mutants., and metabolome and proteome analyses. Five out of the thirteen NAs examined, including three nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and two anti-cancer drugs, increased the mutation frequency in E. coli more than 25-fold at doses that were within reported plasma concentration range (Pl.CR), but that did not affect bacterial growth. We show that the SOS response is induced and that the increase in mutation frequency is mediated by the TLS polymerase Pol V. Quantitative mass spectrometry based metabolite profiling did not reveal large changes in nucleoside phosphate or other central carbon metabolite pools, which suggests that the SOS induction is an effect of increased replicative stress. Our results suggest that NAs/NRTIs can contribute to the development of AMR.

ERβ activation by genistein promotes metastatic progression in prostate cancer

Project description:Androgen signalling through the androgen receptor (AR) plays a critical role in prostate cancer (PCa) initiation and progression. Estrogen and the estrogen receptor, in synergy with androgen, are essential for cell growth of the normal and malignant prostate. However, the exact role that estrogen plays in prostate carcinogenesis, and the precise mechanisms involved, remain unclear. We have previously demonstrated the metastasis-promoting effect of an estrogen receptor Beta (ERβ) agonist (genistein) and the inhibitory action of an anti-estrogen (ICI 182, 780) in patient-derived PCa xenograft models mimicking localized and metastatic disease. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles of treated and untreated PCa xenografts using microarrays to identify a unique set of genes that were both up-regulated by genistein treatment and down-regulated by the anti-estrogen, ICI 182,780. Five of the six genes identified from this comparison belonged to the metallothionein (MT) gene family. Knock-down of ERβ led to a reduction in MT gene expression, confirming its role in regulating these genes. Using qRT-PCR, the differences in expression levels were validated in the metastatic and non-metastatic LTL313 PCa xenograft tumour lines, both of which were originally derived from the same PCa patient. Together our data provides evidence for the role of ERβ signalling in PCa metastasis and implicates estrogen-stimulated MT gene expression in this process. Three samples each (total RNA extracted from three tumours of three different animals from each group) for control, genistein and ICI were used for the array.

Gene expression profile of Lactobacillus casei Zhang in fermented milk during transit in simulated gastrointestinal tract

Project description:The survival of probiotics could be strongly enhanced by delivery vehicles, but the mechanism was unknown. In this study, whole genome microarray technology was used to detect the gene expression profiles of probiotic Lactobacillus casei Zhang in the absence and presence of fermented milk in simulated gastrointestinal tract. The results showed the gene expression profiles were significantly different under these two different conditions. The change of the gene expression profile may be helpful to comprehend the role of delivery vehicles in enhancing the survival of probiotics. Twelve samples of bacterial cells in the absence and presence of fermented milk were collected at 3 h in simulated gastric juice, 4 h and 8 h in intestinal juice, 2 biological replicates were obtained in each time point. The average of the normalized expression values of the 2 biological replicates for each probe was regarded as the expression value of a predicted gene. To identify the expression pattern of each gene across different treatments, n-fold change ratios were calculated for every gene in pure L. casei Zhang versus L. casei Zhang in fermented milk.

Biofilm-grown Burkholderia cepacia complex cells survive antibiotic treatment by avoiding production of reactive oxygen species.

Project description:The presence of persister cells has been proposed as a factor in biofilm resilience. In the present study we investigated whether persister cells are present in Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) biofilms, what the molecular basis of antimicrobial tolerance in Bcc persisters is, and how persisters can be eradicated from Bcc biofilms. After treatment of Bcc biofilms with high concentrations of various antibiotics often a small subpopulation survived. To investigate the molecular mechanism of tolerance in this subpopulation, Burkholderia cenocepacia biofilms were treated with 1024 µg/ml of tobramycin. Using ROS-specific staining and flow cytometry, we showed that tobramycin increased ROS production in treated sessile cells. However, approximately 0.1% of all sessile cells survived the treatment. A transcriptome analysis showed that several genes from the tricarboxylic acid cycle and genes involved in the electron transport chain were downregulated. In contrast, genes from the glyoxylate shunt were upregulated. These data indicate that protection against ROS is important for the survival of persisters. To confirm this, we determined the number of persisters in biofilms formed by catalase mutants. The persister fraction in ?katA and ?katB biofilms was significantly reduced, confirming the role of ROS detoxification in persister survival. Pretreatment of B. cenocepacia biofilms with itaconate, an inhibitor of isocitrate lyase (ICL), the first enzyme in the glyoxylate shunt, reduced the persister fraction approx. 10-fold when the biofilms were subsequently treated with tobramycin. In conclusion, most Bcc biofilms contain a significant fraction of persisters that survive treatment with high doses of tobramycin. The surviving persister cells downregulate the TCA cycle to avoid production of ROS and at the same time activate an alternative pathway, the glyoxylate shunt. This pathway may present a novel target for combination therapy.

Gene expression of triclosan susceptible and tolerant E. coli O157:H19 in response to triclosan exposure

Project description:Triclosan is a biocidal active agent commonly found in domestic cleaning products, hand sanitizers, cosmetics and personal care products. It is used to control microbial contamination and has a broad-spectrum of activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The development of triclosan tolerance with potential cross resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics in zoonotic pathogens is of concern given the widespread use of this active agent in clinical, food processing and domestic environments. Some studies have proposed that an over-dependence on triclosan-containing products could lead to the emergence of clinically important pathogens that are highly tolerant to both biocides and antibiotics. Currently, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms contributing to the emergence of triclosan tolerance in foodborne pathogens at a genetic level. We used microarray analysis to compare gene expression between a wildtype E. coli O157:H19 isolate (WT) with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to triclosan of 6.25 ug/ml and its laboratory generated triclosan tolerant mutant (M) with a MIC of >8000 ug/ml. Gene expression profiling was performed on untreated E. coli O157:H19 wildtype (WTu) and mutant (Mu), and on the wildtype and mutant treated with 6 ug/ml triclosan for 30 minutes (WTt and Mt respectively). RNA was extracted from three independent biological replicates for WTu, Mu, WTt & Mt for hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip E. coli Genome 2.0 Arrays. Micorarray analysis including pre-processing, normalisation and statistical analysis were performed using R (R, 2007) version 2.6 and Bioconductor (Gentleman et al. 2004, Genome Biol. 5:R80) version 2.1 as previously described by Morris et al.(2009, Physiol. Genomics 39:28-37).

Stress response in the yajL (DJ-1 homolog) mutant of Escherichia coli

Project description:YajL is the most closely related Escherichia coli homolog of Parkinsonism-associated protein DJ-1, a protein with a yet undefined function in the oxidative stress response. YajL protects cells against oxidative stress-induced protein aggregation and functions as a covalent chaperone for the thiol proteome, including FeS proteins. To clarify the cellular responses to YajL deficiency, transcriptional profiling of the yajL mutant was performed. As compared to the parental strain, the yajL mutant overexpressed genes coding for chaperones, proteases, chemical chaperone transporters, superoxide dismutases, catalases, peroxidases, components of thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems, iron transporters, ferritins and FeS cluster biogenesis enzymes, DNA-repair proteins, RNA chaperones and small regulatory RNAs. It also overexpressed the RNA polymerase stress sigma factors sigma S (multiple stresses) and sigma 32 (protein stress) and activated the OxyR and SoxRS oxidative stress transcriptional regulators, which together trigger the global stress response. The yajL mutant also overexpressed genes involved in septation and adopted a shorter and rounder shape characteristic of stressed bacteria. Biochemical experiments showed that this upregulation of many stress genes resulted in increased expression of stress proteins and improved biochemical function. Thus, protein defects resulting from the yajL mutation trigger the onset of a robust and global stress response in a prokaryotic model of DJ-1-associated Parkinsonism. We performed microarray analysis of the transcriptome response of the yajL mutant and its parental strain in the exponential phase of growth (grown in aerobiosis in LB medium to OD600 = 0.3) in the absence of any exogenous stress. Two replicates per strain (wild type, yajL mutant).
