Dual RNA-seq identifies proteins and pathways required for Clostridioides difficile colonisation

ABSTRACT: Clostridioides difficile interactions with the gut mucosa are crucial for colonisation and establishment of infection, however key infection events during the establishment of disease are still poorly defined. To better understand the initial events that occur during C. difficile colonisation, we employed a dual RNA-sequencing approach to study the host and bacterial transcriptomic profiles during C. difficile infection in a dual-environment in vitro human gut model. Temporal changes in gene expression were analysed over 3-24h post infection and comparisons were made with uninfected controls.

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.

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.

Global analysis of genes induced during sporulation of Clostridium difficile

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify genes whose expression is induced during sporulation in a Spo0A-, M-OM-^CF-, M-OM-^CE-, M-OM-^CG-, and M-OM-^CK-dependent manner. Methods: Whole genome RNA sequencing was performed on wildtype, spo0A-, sigF-, sigE-, sigG-, and sigK- C. difficile strains (strain 630 background; JIR8094 = parent strain), and the transcriptional profiles of the different mutants during growth on 70:30 agar plates were determined using an Illumina HiSeq1000. Results: This analysis identified 185 genes whose expression is collectively activated by sporulation sigma factors: 150 were M-OM-^CF-dependent, 150 were M-OM-^CE-dependent, 30 were M-OM-^CG-dependent, and 31 were M-OM-^CK-dependent. A total of 237 genes were identified as requiring Spo0A for their expression when sporulation was induced on the 70:30 plates. Conclusions: These results provide the first genome-wide transcriptional analysis of genes whose expression is induced by specific sporulation sigma factors in the Clostridia and highlight that diverse mechanisms regulate sporulation sigma factor activity in the Firmicutes. For example, in contrast with the B. subtilis sporulation pathway, C. difficile M-OM-^CE was not required to fully activate M-OM-^CG, and M-OM-^CG was not required to activate M-OM-^CK. Wildtype, spo0A-, sigF-, sigE-, sigG-, and sigK- were streaked onto 70:30 plates in triplicate, and sporulation was induced. RNA from the three biological replicate samples was harvested, DNAse-I treated, and ribosomally depleted using Ribo-Zero kits. This RNA was transformed into cDNA, and the resulting libraries were subjected to paired end sequencing using an Illumina HiSeq 1000.

Flavodoxin Landscape in Clostridioides difficile

Project description:C. difficile infections have become a major challenge in medical facilities today. The bacterium is capable of spore formation, which even allows survival of antibiotic treatment. Therefore, research on the physiology of C. difficile is important for the development of alternative treatment strategies. In this study, we investigated eight putative flavodoxins of C. difficile 630. Flavodoxins are small electron transfer proteins of specifically low potential. The unusually high number of flavodoxins in C. difficile compared to other bacteria suggests that they are expressed under different conditions. Therefore, we investigated expression along bacterial growth and found high transcription levels during the exponential growth phase, especially for floX. Since flavodoxins in other bacteria are capable of replacing ferredoxins with their [2Fe-2S] clusters under iron deficiency conditions, we also examined flavodoxin expression in C. difficile under low iron and no iron levels.

Myxopyronin B inhibits growth of a Fidaxomicin-resistant Clostridioides difficile isolate and interferes with toxin synthesis

Project description:Fidaxomicin is considered the current gold standard antibiotic for treating Clostridioides difficile infections and kills bacterial cells by inhibition of the RNA polymerase through binding to its switch region. Although binding sites do not overlap, also Myxopyronin B inhibits the RNA polymerase by binding its switch region. The here presented data prove that there is no cross-resistance between Fidaxomicin and Myxopyronin B in a Fidaxomicin-resistant C. difficile strain. Moreover, comparative LC-MS/MS analyses of Fidaxomicin, Myxopyronin B and Rifaximin stress in C. difficile strain 630 revealed that Myxopyronin B is able to suppress early phase toxin synthesis in C. difficile to the same degree as Fidaxomicin. Conclusively, Myxopyronin B is proposed as lead structure for the design of novel antibiotics for the therapy of C. difficile infections.
