Investigation of possible molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of adhesion in Vibrio alginolyticus with comparative transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Adhesion capability to fish mucus, which can be affected by environmental conditions, is considered to be a key virulence factor of Vibrio alginolyticus although the molecular mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, V. alginolyticus was treated with stress conditions including Cu(2+) (50 mg/L), Pb(2+) (100 mg/L), Hg(2+) (50 mg/L) and low pH (pH 5). We found these stress treatments were capable of reducing the adhesion of V. alginolyticus, while the expression levels of multiple genes were significantly changed according to the results of high throughput sequencing. The expression of randomly selected genes was confirmed by QPCR, which reinforced the reliability of the sequencing data. Ontology assignments and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that stress treatments affect pathways that may be related to adhesion. Our results identified genes which might play a key role in the adhesion process of V. alginolyticus, which could lay a foundation for further functional analysis of these genes in the process of adhesion. As these genes were sensitive to environmental factors, this may explain why the adhesion process can be influenced by environmental factors.

Mechanisms underlying the virulence regulation of new <i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i> ncRNA Vvrr1 with a comparative proteomic analysis.

Project description:The incidence of Vibrio alginolyticus infections has increased in recent years due to the influence of climate change and rising sea temperature. Vibrio virulence regulatory RNA 1 (Vvrr1) is a newly found noncoding RNA (ncRNA) predicted to be closely related to the adhesion ability of V. alginolyticus based on the previous RNA-seq. In this study, the target genes of Vvrr1 were fully screened and verified by constructing Vvrr1-overexpressing strains and using the proteome sequencing technology. Pyruvate kinase I (pykF) gene was predicted to be a chief target gene of Vvrr1 involved in virulence regulation. The adhesion ability, biofilm formation and virulence were significantly reduced in the Vvrr1-overexpressing and the pykF-silenced strain compared with the wild strains. Similar to the overexpression of Vvrr1, the silencing of pykF also reduced the expression level of virulence genes, such as ndk, eno, sdhB, glpF, and cysH. Meanwhile, by constructing the "pykF-GFP" fusion expression plasmid and using the GFP reporter gene analysis in Escherichia coli, the fluorescence intensity of the strain containing Vvrr1 whole ncRNA sequence vector was found to be significantly weakened. These indicated that Vvrr1 participated in the virulence regulation mechanism of V. alginolyticus by interacting with the virulence gene pykF.

secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC contribute to the adhesion regulation of Vibrio alginolyticus.

Project description:Vibrio alginolyticus caused great losses to aquaculture. Adhesion is an important virulence factor of V. alginolyticus. In this study, the relationship between V. alginolyticus adhesion and type II secretion system genes (secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC) was determined using gene silencing, qRT-PCR and in vitro adhesion assay. The results showed that the expression of target genes and the bacterial adhesion exhibited significant decreases after transient gene silencing and stable gene silencing, which indicated that secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC played roles in the bacterial adhesion of V. alginolyticus. The expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC were significantly influenced by temperature, salinity, pH and starvation. The results indicated that the expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC were sensitive to different environmental factors, whereas environmental factors can affect V. alginolyticus adhesion via the expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC.

Involvement of the flagellar assembly pathway in Vibrio alginolyticus adhesion under environmental stresses.

Project description:Adhesion is an important virulence factor of Vibrio alginolyticus. This factor may be affected by environmental conditions; however, its molecular mechanism remains unclear. In our previous research, adhesion deficient strains were obtained by culturing V. alginolyticus under stresses including Cu, Pb, Hg, and low pH. With RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis, we found that all of these stress treatments significantly affected the flagellar assembly pathway, which may play an important role in V. alginolyticus adhesion. Therefore, we hypothesized that the environmental stresses of the flagellar assembly pathway may be one way in which environmental conditions affect adhesion. To verify our hypothesis, a bioinformatics analysis, QPCR, RNAi, in vitro adhesion assay and motility assay were performed. Our results indicated that (1) the flagellar assembly pathway was sensitive to environmental stresses, (2) the flagellar assembly pathway played an important role in V. alginolyticus adhesion, and (3) motility is not the only way in which the flagellar assembly pathway affects adhesion.

mcp, aer, cheB, and cheV contribute to the regulation of Vibrio alginolyticus (ND-01) adhesion under gradients of environmental factors.

Project description:Adhesion is a key virulence factor of pathogens and can be affected by the environment. Our previously research with RNA-seq indicated that mcp, aer, cheB, and cheV might play roles in the regulation of adhesion in Vibrio alginolyticus (ND-01). In order to determine whether and how environmental factors affect adhesion through these genes, gene silencing was performed followed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), RNAi, transmission electron microscopy, and adhesion, capillary, and motility assays to verify how these genes influence adhesion. Silencing these genes led to deficiencies in adhesion, chemotaxis, flagellar assembly, and motility. The expression levels of cheA, cheW, and cheY, which are important genes closely related to the functions of mcp, aer, cheV, and cheB, were significantly downregulated in all of the RNAi groups. The expression of mcp, aer, cheV, and cheB under different gradients of temperature, pH, and salinity and after starvation for various durations was also detected, which showed that these genes were sensitive to certain environmental stresses, particularly pH and starvation. Our results indicated that mcp, aer, cheB, and cheV: (1) are necessary for ND-01 adhesion; (2) play key roles in the bacterial chemotaxis pathway by controlling the expression of downstream genes; (3) might affect adhesion by impacting motility, though motility is not the only route through which adhesion is affected; and (4) contribute to the regulation of ND-01 adhesion in natural environments with different temperatures, pH levels, and salinities as well as after various starvation periods.

Investigation of possible underlying mechanisms behind water-induced glucose reduction in adults with high copeptin.

Project description:Elevated copeptin, a surrogate marker of vasopressin, is linked to low water intake and increased diabetes risk. Water supplementation in habitual low-drinkers with high copeptin significantly lowers both fasting plasma (fp) copeptin and glucose. This study aims at investigating possible underlying mechanisms. Thirty-one healthy adults with high copeptin (> 10.7 pmol·L-1 (men), > 6.1 pmol-1 (women)) and 24-h urine volume of < 1.5L and osmolality of > 600 mOsm·kg-1 were included. The intervention consisted of addition of 1.5 L water daily for 6 weeks. Fp-adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), fp-cortisol, 24-h urine cortisol, fasting and 2 h (post oral glucose) insulin and glucagon were not significantly affected by the water intervention. However, decreased (Δ baseline-6 weeks) fp-copeptin was significantly associated with Δfp-ACTH (r = 0.76, p < 0.001) and Δfp-glucagon (r = 0.39, p = 0.03), respectively. When dividing our participants according to baseline copeptin, median fp-ACTH was reduced from 13.0 (interquartile range 9.2-34.5) to 7.7 (5.3-9.9) pmol L-1, p = 0.007 in the top tertile of copeptin, while no reduction was observed in the other tertiles. The glucose lowering effect from water may partly be attributable to decreased activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03574688.

Ethanolamine utilization in Vibrio alginolyticus.

Project description:UnlabelledEthanolamine is used as an energy source by phylogenetically diverse bacteria including pathogens, by the concerted action of proteins from the eut-operon. Previous studies have revealed the presence of eutBC genes encoding ethanolamine-ammonia lyase, a key enzyme that breaks ethanolamine into acetaldehyde and ammonia, in about 100 bacterial genomes including members of gamma-proteobacteria. However, ethanolamine utilization has not been reported for any member of the Vibrio genus. Our comparative genomics study reveals the presence of genes that are involved in ethanolamine utilization in several Vibrio species. Using Vibrio alginolyticus as a model system we demonstrate that ethanolamine is better utilized as a nitrogen source than as a carbon source.ReviewersThis article was reviewed by Dr. Lakshminarayan Iyer and Dr. Vivek Anantharaman (nominated by Dr. L Aravind).
