Project description:Staphylococci are major pathogens in humans and animals and emerging antibiotic-resistant strains have further increased the importance of this health issue. The existence of a genetic basis of host response to bacterial infections has been widely documented but the underlying mechanisms and genes are still largely unknown. Previously, two divergent lines of sheep selected on their milk somatic cell count called high and low SCS lines, have been showed to be respectively more and less susceptible to intra mammary infections (IMI). Transcriptional profiling of milk somatic cells (MSC) of high and low SCS sheep infected successively by S. epidermidis and S. aureus was performed to provide enhanced knowledge about the genetic basis of differential host response to IMI with Staphylococci. Gene expression in MSC of high and low SCS sheep collected 12h post-challenge was performed on a 15K gene ovine oligoarray (Agilent). MSC were mainly neutrophils. The high number of differentially expressed genes between the two bacterial strains indicated, among others, increased number of T-cells in MSC after S. aureus, compared to S. epidermidis challenge. Differential regulation of 366 genes between resistant and susceptible animals was largely associated with immune and inflammatory response (including pathogen recognition TLR2 pathway and cell migration), signal transduction, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Close biological connection between most of differentially expressed genes into Ingenuity Pathway Analysis networks further indicated consistency between the genes that were differentially-expressed between resistant and susceptible animals. Gene profiling in high and low SCS sheep provided strong candidates for biological pathway and gene underlying genetically determined resistance and susceptibility towards Staphylococci infections opening new fields for further investigation.

Project description:Adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus to the host’s skin and mucosae enables asymptomatic colonization and the establishment of infections. This process is facilitated by cell wall-anchored (CWA) adhesins that are covalently attached to the bacterial cell wall and exhibit affinity for host ligands. To gain insight into the cellular factors contributing to adhesion, we developed a sensitive and robust assay to enable the large-scale profiling of S. aureus adhesion to host ligands. Using this assay, we profiled a sequence defined transposon mutant library of the community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) isolate USA300, to identify mutant strains with attenuated adhesion to human derived keratin, fibronectin and fibrinogen. Overall, we identified 21 adhesion defective mutants and we used this information to construct ‘The S. aureus Genetic Adhesion Network’. Importantly, we identified a core gene set involved in adhesion to all three host ligands and we delineated unique genetic signatures. In addition, we demonstrate a central requirement for autolysin-mediated daughter cell separation in S. aureus CWA protein-mediated adhesion to host ligands, which contributes to virulence in murine skin and soft tissue infection. This comprehensive study will inform strategies to inhibit S. aureus host cell adhesion, potentially enabling the development of anti-adhesive therapeutics to complement traditional antibacterial chemotherapy.

Project description:We performed bulk RNA-seq on squalene/M-CSF-treated macrophages to compute the fold change of genes in the squalene/M-CSF compared to M-CSF alone treated macrophages. We then looked at the distribution of the log fold changes in the skin-derived TREM2 (607 genes) and M2-like (709 genes) macrophage scRNA-seq signatures. We found that the TREM2 gene signature was more highly induced by squalene/M-CSF than the M2-like macrophage signature. In these squalene-induced macrophages, we found upregulation of several of the lipid metabolism and pro-inflammatory genes present in the skin-derived TREM2 macrophage gene signature.

Project description:Cervimycins A‒D are natural products of Streptomyces tendae HKI 0179 with promising activity against multidrug resistant staphylococci and vancomycin resistant enterococci. To initiate mode of action studies, we selected cervimycin C and D resistant (CmR) Staphylococcus aureus strains. Genome sequencing of CmR mutants revealed amino acid exchanges in the essential histidine kinase WalK, the Clp protease proteolytic subunit ClpP or the Clp ATPase ClpC, and the heat shock protein DnaK. Proteomic analysis revealed massive alterations in CmR-02 (amino acid exchanges: ClpP-I29F, DnaK-A112P, WalK-A243V) compared to the parent strain S. aureus SG511 Berlin, with major modifications in the heat shock regulon, the metal ion homeostasis and the carbohydrate metabolism. These effects were alleviated in the antibiotic susceptible suppressor mutant 02REV (amino acid exchanges: ClpP-I29F/M31I, WalK-A243V/S191L).

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia causes significant morbidity and mortality. Alpha-hemolysin (Hla), a pore-forming cytotoxin of S. aureus, has been identified through animal models of pneumonia as a critical virulence factor that induces lung injury. In spite of considerable molecular knowledge of how this cytotoxin injures the host, the precise host response to Hla in the context of infection remains poorly understood. We employed whole-genome expression profiling of infected lung to define the host response to wild-type S. aureus compared with an Hla-deficient isogenic mutant in experimental pneumonia. These data provide a complete expression profile at four and at twenty-four hours post-infection, revealing a unique response to the toxin-expressing strain. Gene ontogeny analysis revealed significant differences in the extracellular matrix and cardiomyopathy pathways, both of which govern cellular interactions in the tissue microenvironment. Evaluation of individual transcript responses to Hla-secreting bacteria was notable for upregulation of host cytokine and chemokine genes, including the p19 subunit of interleukin-23. Consistent with this observation, the cellular immune response to infection was characterized by a prominent TH17 response to wild-type staphylococci. These findings define specific host mRNA responses to Hla-producing S. aureus, coupling the pulmonary TH17 response to the presence of this cytotoxin. Expression profiling to define the host response to a single virulence factor proved to be a valuable tool in identifying pathways for further investigation in S. aureus pneumonia. This approach may be broadly applicable to the study of bacterial toxins, defining host pathways that can be targeted to mitigate toxin-induced disease.

Project description:The transcription level of a rex-deficient S. aureus mutant in comparison to its parental strain S. aureus SH1000 was analyzed using DNA microarrays. S. aureus N315 microarrays were purchased from Scienion (Scienion AG, Berlin, Germany) and were produced by spotting 2,338 PCR products of the 2,593 ORFs comprising annotated genome of S. aureus N315 [reference identification: NC_002745] on a glass slide. Each ORF is present in duplicate on the microarray (further details can be found at http://www.scienion.com), cDNA was synthesized from total RNA with the LabelStar Array Kit from QIAGEN using the QIAGEN protocol with slight modifications: Random hexamer primer were used (Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany) and Cy3- and Cy5-dCTP were purchased from Perkin-Elmer (Rodgau - Juegesheim, Germany). As recommended by Scienion, 10 µg RNA from either SH1000 or AK1 were used for cDNA synthesis. After hybridisation for 72 h, the microarrays were washed as recommended by the manufacturer. Data analysis. The hybridized microarrays were scanned with a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (MDS Analytical Technologies GmbH, Ismaning, Germany). A geometric raster was laid over the resulting microarray picture to distinguish the signals from the background. After localization of single spots, intensities and global background were calculated automatically. The hybridization patterns and intensities were quantitatively analyzed using the Imagene 6 software (BioDiscovery, El Segundo, CA). The replicates were averaged, and the spots identified by Imagene 6 (BioDiscovery) as flawed were omitted. The data set was normalized by application of the LOWESS algorithm. In a next step, the intensity values of all arrays for each time point as well as for all time points combined were used for t tests. Genes with a change of <0.5- or â?¥2.0-fold were characterized as having significantly differing amounts of transcripts based on t tests with a P value cut-off of at least 0.05. Gene functions were assigned to the respective accession numbers and annotations as compiled on DOGAN, a web page for S. aureus N315 (http://www.bio.nite.go.jp/dogan/MicroTop?GENOME_ID=n315G1). The parental strain SH1000 and the Rex deficient mutant AK1 were applied on full-genome microarrays to get a detailed view on the differences in the transcriptional profiles which are caused â?? directly or indirectly â?? by the introduced mutation. More specifically, expression levels were compared at five time points, covering different growth phases. To highlight the general changes in the expression profile between SH1000 and the rex mutant, the microarray data of all five time points were also analyzed in a combined way using standard statistical methods. In further experiments, we focused on those genes, which seemed to flag the general difference between the investigated strains.
