RNA sequencing of the treatment of Aspergillus fumigatus with the new antifungal drug 089 -SYBARIS

ABSTRACT: The mechanism of action of the new antifungal compound 089 was identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The compound had antifungal effects also on pathogenic fungi. While on Candida species the treatment induced cells death, on A. fumigatus strains it inhibited the conidia transition to hyphae. We carried out RNA sequencing analysis to evaluate at the molecular level the effect of the treatment on Aspergillus.

Project description:The goal of this project is to understand the etiology and pathology of host-pathogen interaction using high-throughput cellular phenotyping. By combining the expertise in pathogen biology, informatics and stem cell biology across the institute, this project will use targeted genetic modification in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify functions of host genes in innate immunity. We will also explore the biology of mouse embryonic stem cells and their differentiation into immune competent cells. To this end we will generate homozygous and inducible knockout lines in mouse embryonic stem cells, which will be differentiated into immune competent cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. These will be subjected to a panel of immune challenge and stimulation assays to characterise the functions of the disrupted genes. To identify new functions for mammalian genes in innate immunity we will:\Generate a panel of homozygous inducible gene knockout mouse ES cell lines working from a list of ca. 80 candidate genes (MGP phenotyping and GWAS hits). \Scale up differentiation protocols for immune challenge and stimulation assays.\Benchmark in vitro differentiated ES cell models against primary immune cells from selected MGP mouse lines and eventually against human iPS cells.\Screen a panel of 30 genetically modified cell lines in immunological challenge and stimulation assays, defining phenotypes at the cellular level by high content imaging, biochemically by assaying cytokine production, and at the molecular level by transcriptome analysis.\Define novel gene functions in innate immunity through network analysis of gene expression data from all challenged cell lines.\In the longer term scale up the production and phenotyping of genetically modified cell lines (mouse or human as appropriate).This data is part of a pre-publication release.
