Study of the quorum sensing regulon of the acidophilic Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC23270 with cDNA microarrays

ABSTRACT: To address the question of how quorum sensing controls biofilm formation in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC23270, the transcriptome of this organism in conditions in which quorum sensing response is stimulated by a synthetic acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) analogue has been studied. Tetrazole 9c was used in DNA microarray experiments that allowed the identification of genes regulated by quorum sensing signalling, and more particularly those involved in early biofilm formation.

The IclR-family regulator BapR controls biofilms formation in B. cenocepacia H111

Project description:In Burkholderia cenocepacia H111, the large surface protein BapA plays a crucial role in the formation of highly structured communities, known as biofilms. We have recently demonstrated that Quorum sensing (QS) is necessary for the maximal expression of bapA. In this study we identify a protein from the IclR family of transcriptional regulators that, in conjunction with QS, controls biofilm formation by affecting the expression of bapA. We present evidence that, in addition to BapA, BapR influences the expression of extracellular protease, swimming motility and has a profound impact in the abundance of persister cells, making this regulator an interesting target for persister and biofilm eradication.

Nitric oxide modulates Saccharomyces cerevisiae biofilm formation though regulating the transmembrane protein CTR1 by activating its transcriptional factor MAC1.

Project description:Biofilms with immobilized cells in industrial fermentation are beneficial. Encased in extracellular polymeric substance, cells forming biofilms are regulated by various factors. Nitric oxide (NO), as a signaling molecule, recognized as quorum sensing molecule regulating microbe biofilm formation. Regulation mechanisms of NO on bacteria biofilm have been studied extensively and deeply, while on fungus are rarely studied. In this study, we observed that low concentration of NO enhanced S. cerevisiae biofilm formation. Transcriptional and proteomic analysis revealed that transcription factor MAC1 was activated in biofilm cells under NO treatment. Overexpressed MAC1 increased yeast biofilm formation bypassing regulating the expression level of FLO11. Increased copper and iron contents in NO treated and MAC1 overexpressed cells were not responsible for increased biofilm formation. Among six downstream genes of MAC1, overexpressed CTR1 contributed yeast biofilm formation. Moreover, MAC1 and CTR1 contributed to biofilm cells ethanol resistance resulting from enhanced biofilm. The role of CTR1 protein in yeast biofilm formation may result from its hydrophobic residues in N-terminal extracellular domain. These findings suggested a NO-mediated biofilm formation mechanism that NO regulated expression levels of CTR1 through activating its transcription factor MAC1, leading enhanced biofilm formation.

The small RNA PhrS stimulates synthesis of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quinolone signal

Project description:Quorum sensing, a cell-to-cell communication system based on small signal molecules, is employed by the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to regulate virulence and biofilm development. Moreover, regulation by small trans-encoded RNAs has become a focal issue in virulence gene expression of bacterial pathogens. In this study, we have identified the small RNA PhrS as an activator of PqsR synthesis, one of the key quorum sensing regulators in P. aeruginosa. Genetic studies revealed a novel mode of regulation by a sRNA, whereby PhrS uses a base-pairing mechanism to activate a short upstream open reading frame to which the pqsR gene is translationally coupled. Expression of phrS is induced by the oxygen-responsive regulator ANR when the oxygen supply decreases. Thus, PhrS is the first bacterial sRNA that provides a regulatory link between oxygen availability and quorum sensing, which may impact on oxygen-limited growth in P. aeruginosa biofilms. Keywords: genetic modification Comparative transcriptome analysis with the delta-phrS strains PAO6671(pJT19) and PAO6671(pJTphrS), whereby the first strain harboured the parental vector and the latter a plasmid-borne inducible phrS gene

Gene expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen in the lungs of the cystic fibrosis patients. As infection develops the organism progressively adapts to its environment and its mode of pathogenesis alters, frequently including the loss of quorum sensing regulated virulence factors. We used microarrays to detail differences between two P. aeruginosa isolates from CF patients, one of which (UUPA38) exhibited an active quorum sensing system (QS+) typical of early acute infection while the other (UUPA85) was QS-compromised (QS-) typical of chronic CF-adapted infection. Bacterial cell biomass was harvested from triplicate biofilm and planktonic cultures of each of 2 strains of P. aeruginosa. RNA was extracted, converted to cDNA and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays. We aimed to identify genes which were differentially transcribed between the 2 isolates during both modes of growth.

Transcriptional analysis of quorum sensing null strain in Yersinia pestis CO92 at 30Â°C

Project description:Yersinia pestis is the etiology of plague that is able to sense cell density by quorum sensing. The function of quorum sensing in Y.pestis is not clear. Here, the process of quorum sensing was investigated by comparing transcript profiles when three quorum sensing synthase genes are knocked out. Two strains, â??pgm (pigmentation-negative) mutant R88 as treatment and 3XQS mutant with mutation (â??pgm, â??ypeIR, â??yspIR, and â??luxS) R115 as control are used in this analysis. Six independent RNA samples from R115 cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. Dye-swap design was used to remove the Cy5 and Cy3 dye bias.

Comparative transcriptional analysis of Candida auris biofilms following farnesol and tyrosol treatment

Project description:Candida auris is frequently associated with biofilm-related invasive infections. The resistant profile of these biofilms necessitates innovative therapeutic options, where quorum sensing may be a potential target. Farnesol and tyrosol are two fungal quorum-sensing molecules with antifungal effects at supraphysiological concentrations. Here, we performed genome-wide transcript profiling with C. auris biofilms following farnesol or tyrosol exposure using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq). Since transition metals play a central role in fungal virulence and biofilm formation, levels of intracellular calcium, magnesium, and iron were determined following farnesol or tyrosol treatment using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Farnesol caused an 89.9% and 73.8% significant reduction in the calcium and magnesium content, respectively, whereas tyrosol resulted in 82.6%, 76.6%, and 81.2% decrease in the calcium, magnesium, and iron content, respectively, compared to the control. Genes involved in biofilm events, glycolysis, ergosterol biosynthesis, fatty acid oxidation, iron metabolism, and autophagy were primarily affected in treated cells. To prove ergosterol quorum-sensing molecule interactions, microdilution-based susceptibility testing was performed, where the complexation of farnesol, but not tyrosol, with ergosterol was impeded in the presence of exogenous ergosterol, resulting in a minimum inhibitory concentration increase in the quorum-sensing molecules. This study revealed several farnesol- and tyrosol-specific responses, which will contribute to the development of alternative therapies against C. auris biofilms.

Expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (wild type and lasRrhlR mutant strains) exposed to human neutrophils

Project description:In the present in vitro study, interactions between P. aeruginosa (sessile biofilms as well as planktonic cells) and PMNs were analyzed by means of DNA microarray based transcriptomics. We found that the P. aeruginosa wild type biofilms, in contrast to planktonic cultures and quorum sensing (QS) deficient strains, respond to PMN exposure in a rather aggressive manner. The response does not involve protective mechanisms such as those involved in oxidative stress. Rather it is dominated by QS controlled virulence determinants such as those encoded by pqs, phz, rhlAB, all of which are designed to cripple Eukaryotic cells including PMNs and macrophages. Our comparative analysis supports the view that QS plays a major role in mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa evades host defense systems. Keywords: Stress response The biofilms were allowed to grow and develop in the biofilm flow chambers for 3 days before challenge with PMNs. Fresh PMNs from human volunteers were isolated and resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium (BIOCHROM AG) as previously described by Bjarnsholt et al. 2005 (Bjarnsholt et al., 2005). Prior to PMN injection the flow was halted. Ten million PMNs were resuspended in 6 ml of RPMI media and injected into the flow chamber. The concentration of PMNs was found by microscopy to be approximately 1 PMN per 1000 bacterial cells. PMNs and biofilm were incubated for 2 hours. The flow chambers were rolled every 15 minutes to ensure that the entire biofilm was exposed to the PMNs. After incubation the fluid inside the chamber was discarded and the attached biofilm cells were loosened by rolling. The cells were then mechanically removed and collected in 6 ml of RNAlater®
