Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes is a major causative agent of tonsillitis or pharyngitis in children, which can lead to more invasive infections and noninfectious sequellae. S. pyogenes can persist in tonsils, while one-third of children treated with antibiotics continue to shed streptococci and have recurrent infections. Mouse nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) is functionally analogous to human oropharangeal lymphoid tissues. The innate immune responses of naïve cells from a mucosal site to S. pyogenes is not well described; therefore, we infected C57BL/6 mice intranasally with 108 CFU S. pyogenes. Transcriptional responses by NALT after S. pyogenes infection were analyzed by Affymetrix microarray and quantitative RT-PCR. Wild-type S. pyogenes induces transcription of both type I and IFN-gamma-responsive genes, pro-inflammatory genes, and acute phase response plasma proteins within 24h after infection. Invasion of NALT and the induction of the interferon response were not dependent on expression of anti-phagocytic M1 protein. However, infection with an attenuated, less invasive mutant indicated that a robust innate response by NALT is significantly influenced by intra-NALT bacterial load. Granulocytic populations of NALT, cervical lymph nodes and spleen were discriminated by characteristic surface and intracellular markers. Intranasal infection induces systemic release of neutrophils and a substantial influx of neutrophils into NALT at 24h, which decline by 48h after infection. Macrophages do not significantly increase in S. pyogenes-infected NALT. Intranasal infection of IFN-gamma -/- (GKO) C57BL/6 mice did not lead to systemic dissemination of wild type S. pyogenes, despite reduced expression of IFN-gamma-responsive mRNAs in NALT. Infected GKO mice had an unregulated influx of neutrophils into NALT compared to immunocompetant mice and mice treated with an anti-IFN-gamma antibody more rapidly cleared S. pyogenes from NALT. Thus, IFN-gamma-induced responses have a suppressive influence on early clearance of this pathogen from NALT. Experiment Overall Design: C57BL/6 mice (6-10 weeks old), 4 per group, were infected intranasally with log-phase Streptococcus pyogenes, 2 to 4 x 10^8 CFU per 15 µl of pyrogen-free PBS. Sham-infected mice were administered 15 µl of the same PBS. Mice were infected with wild type strain 90-226 (Cue 1998), a 90-226 strain containing an in-frame deletion of M1 protein (90-226 delta emm1) (Zimmerlein 2005) or an attenuated 90-226 which lacks both M1 and SCPA proteins (90-226att). NALT was collected from mice at 24h after infection and stored in RNAlater until RNA could be purified).

Project description:The proteome and phosphoproteome of Streptococcus pyogenes M49 was investigated at different growth phases of cultures grown in either rich medium (THY), chemically defined medium without carbon source, or chemically defined medium containing 1% fructose. Of the 815 phosphosites identified, 463 were included in a label-free quantitative analysis of dynamic protein phosphorylation. A small group of phosphorylation events, almost exclusively at threonine residues, was strongest during growth and decreased during stationary phase. These included phosphorylation sites of the PASTA kinase SP-STK and its putative substrates suggesting that the PASTA kinase-dependent processes regulating the cell cycle in related bacteria are also conserved in S. pyogenes. Most phosphorylation events occurred preferentially at serine residues in the stationary growth phase and under starvation conditions. The elucidation of the physiological significance and the responsible kinases of these phosphorylations require further investigations. In addition to phosphorylation events at S/T/Y residues, phosphoglycerylation of lysine (PGK) occurred frequently among the enriched phosphopeptides.

Project description:The complex response of murine macrophages to infection with Streptococcus pyogenes was investigated at the level of gene expression using a high-density oligomer microarray. More than 400 genes were identified as being differentially regulated. Many of the up-regulated genes encoded molecules were involved in immune response and inflammation, transcription, signalling, apoptosis, cell cycle, electron transport and cell adhesion. Of particular interest was the up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, typical of the classically activated macrophages (M1 phenotype) such as TNF-?, IL-1 and IL-6, and also the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1ra and IL-10 associated with macrophage alternative activation (M2 phenotype). Furthermore, the gene encoding inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme typically implicated in classical activation was not induced in infected macrophages. Instead, the gene encoding arginase, a competitor for the iNOS substrate arginine and involved in the alternative activation pathway was up-regulated in S. pyogenes-infected cells. Thus, the microarray-based gene expression analysis demonstrated that S. pyogenes induced an atypical activation program in macrophages with some but not all features of classically or alternatively activation phenotypes. The microarray data also suggested that the bactericidal activity of macrophages against S. pyogenes is mediated by phagocyte oxydase since p47phox was up-regulated in infected cells. Indeed, the in vivo and in vitro killing of S. pyogenes was markedly diminished in the absence of functional phagocyte (p47phox-/-) but not in the absence of iNOS (iNOS-/-). Understanding how macrophages respond to S. pyogenes at the molecular level may facilitate the development of new therapeutic paradigms. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from highly purified F4/80+ cells obtained from the peritoneal cavity of C3H/HeN infected and uninfected control mice and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A.

Project description:We investigated the covS-regulation of S. pyogenes in a hypervirulent M23 strain using RNA-sequencing. The differential gene expression comparison between the covS- mutant and isogenic wild type covS+ identified altered expression of 349 (18%) genes, including a broad spectrum of virulence genes and diverse metabolic genes. The data showed that the strain achieved hypervirulence by enhancing the expression of genes responsible for invasiveness and antiphagocytosis (i.e., hasABC), by abrogating the expression of toxic genes (i.e., speB), and by compromising gene products with dispensable functions (i.e., sfb1). Meanwhile, we found that covS also regulated diverse kinds of metabolic genes that maximized nutrient utilization and energy metabolism during growth and dissemination. From constructing a genome-scale metabolic model, we identified fourteen non-redundant metabolic gene modules, which constitute unique sources for specific nutrients. These genes were probably essential for pathogen growth and virulence. In general, this study provided quantitative transcriptomic signatures of the covS regulation in a hypervirulent S. pyogenes strain and addressed major aspects of the covS-modulated virulent mechanisms. Examination of expression profiling of covS- mutant strain and isogenic wild type covS+ at different growth stages.

Project description:S. pyogenes strains were compared with the intact covRS form of the globally disseminated M1T1 clone to track transcriptomic changes engendered during the emergence of the M1T1 clone. The mutant covRS form of the M1T1 clone was included as a transcriptomic outlier and to provide a context for the magnitude of transcriptional shifts detected within the isolate set examined. Microarray was performed on RNA extracted from mid-logarithmic phase S. pyogenes grown in Todd-Hewitt with 1% yeast extract in vitro. Experiments were performed using a single color method. Each sample was labelled with Cy3 and hybridized to separate arrays. Each strain was analysed in 3 biological replicates. cDNA hybridized to JCVI PFGRC Streptococcus pyogenes v2 oligo arrays. Only probed representing the core M1 genome were used for analysis.

Project description:Expression of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors by Streptococcus pyogenes are controlled by many regulators, of which covR/S is one of the best characterized and can influence ~15% of the genome. Animal models have established that mutants of CovR/S arise spontaneously in vivo resulting in highly invasive organisms. We analyzed a pharyngeal and a blood isolate of S. pyogenes recovered from the same individual 13 days apart. The two isolates varied in many phenotypic properties including speB production, which were reflected in transcriptome analyses. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and partial sequencing of some key genes failed to show any differences except for an 11-base insert in the covS gene in the blood isolate. These results showing that pharyngeal and blood isolates from a single individual which differ by a simple insertion, provide evidence for the model that regulatory gene mutations allow S. pyogenes to invade different niches in the body. A chip study using total RNA recovered from two separate wild-type cultures of group A Streptococcus, Streptococcus pyogenes UH322 and UH328. Each chip measures the expression level of 1865 genes replicated twice from 7 fully sequenced strains of Streptococcus pyogenes (M1_GAS NC_002737; MGAS10394 NC_006086; MGAS315 NC_004070; MGAS5005 NC_007297; MGAS6180 NC_007296; MGAS8232 NC_003485; SSI-1 NC_004606 with fourteen 24-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) responds to environmental changes in a manner that results in an adaptive regulation of the transcriptome. Global transcriptional regulators are able to integrate important extracellular and intracellular information and are responsible for modulation of the transcriptional network. The roles of several global transcriptional regulators in adaptation and virulence gene expression have been described. In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles of CodY and CovRS played in Streptococcus pyogenes. keywords: genetic modification Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 wild-type cells, ΔcodY, ΔcovRS and ΔcodYcovRS strains were grown in C-medium until mid-exponential phase or early-stationary phase. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome was examined with microarray.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus, GAS) is an important human pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases and sequelae. Recent studies showed virulence factor expression was controlled at multiple levels, including the post-transcriptional regulation. In this study, we examined the global half-lives of S. pyogenes mRNAs and explored the role RNase Y played in mRNA metabolism with microarray analysis. key word: genetic modification Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 wild-type cells and ?rny strains were grown in C-medium until late exponential phase. Rifampicin was added to the cell culture and samples were collected before and after rifampicin addition. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome before and after rifampicin addition was examined with microarray. Please note that mRNA decay assay resulted in considerable variations in the datasets. Samples were taken after rifampicin addition and subsequent incubation for different time intervals. During that time no new RNA is produced and the remaining RNA is degraded to various degrees.
