ITRAQ-based proteomic profiling of Vibrio parahaemolyticus under various culture conditions.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a common pathogen infecting humans and marine animals; this pathogen has become a major concern of marine food products and trade. In this study, V. parahaemolyticus isolated from sewage was exposed to different culture conditions and analyzed by isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) based reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique. Our goal is to gain further insights into the proteomics of V. parahaemolyticus, particularly differentially expressed proteins closely correlated with growth conditions and pathogenicity associated proteins. RESULTS:In this study, a total of 2,717 proteins including numerous membrane proteins were significantly identified, and 616 proteins displayed significant differential expression under different conditions. Of them, 12 proteins mainly participating in metabolism showed the most elastic expression differentiation between different culture conditions. Some membrane proteins such as type I secretion outer membrane protein, TolC, lipoprotein, efflux system proteins iron-regulated protein A and putaive Fe-regulated protein B, ferric siderophore receptor homolog and several V. parahaemolyticus virulence-associated proteins were differentially regulated under different conditions. Some differentially regulated proteins were analyzed and confirmed at gene expression level by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). CONCLUSIONS:Proteomics analysis results revealed the characteristics of V. parahaemolyticus proteome expression, provided some promising biomarkers related with growth conditions, the results likely advance insights into the mechanism involved in the response of V. parahaemolyticus to different conditions. Some virulence-associated proteins were discovered to be differentially expressed under different conditions.

Project description:Bifidobacteria are frequently used in probiotic food and dairy products. Bifidobacterium bifidum S17 is a promising probiotic candidate strain that displays strong adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells and elicits potent anti-inflammatory capacity both in vitro and in murine models of colitis. The recently sequenced genome of B. bifidum S17 has a size of about 2.2 Mb and encodes 1,782 predicted protein-coding genes. In the present study, a comprehensive proteomic profiling was carried out to identify and characterize proteins expressed by B. bifidum S17. A total of 1148 proteins entries were identified by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), representing 64.4% of the predicted proteome. 719 proteins could be assigned to functional categories according to cluster of orthologous groups of proteins (COGs). The COG distribution of the detected proteins highly correlates with that of the complete predicted proteome suggesting a good coverage and representation of the genomic content of B. bifidum S17 by the proteome. COGs that were highly present in the proteome of B. bifidum S17 were Translation, Amino Acid Transport and Metabolism, and Carbohydrate Transport and Metabolism. Complete sets of enzymes for both the bifidus shunt and the Embden-Meyerh of pathway were identified. Further bioinformatic analysis yielded 28 proteins with a predicted extracellular localization including 14 proteins with an LPxTG-motif for cell wall anchoring and two proteins (elongation factor Tu and enolase) with a potential moonlighting function in adhesion. Amongst the predicted extracellular proteins were five of six pilin proteins encoded in the B. bifidum S17 genome as well as several other proteins with a potential role in interaction with host structures. The presented results are the first compilation of a proteomic reference profile for a B. bifidum strain and will facilitate analysis of the molecular mechanisms of physiology, host-interactions and beneficial effects of a potential probiotic strain.

Project description:BackgroundInfection of bacterial Vibrio parahaemolyticus is common in mud crab farms. However, the mechanisms of the crab's response to pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus infection are not fully understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that function as regulators of gene expression and play essential roles in various biological processes. To understand the underlying mechanisms of the molecular immune response of the crab to the pathogens, high-throughput Illumina/Solexa deep sequencing technology was used to investigate the expression profiles of miRNAs in S. paramamosain under V. parahaemolyticus infection.Methodology/principal findingsTwo mixed RNA pools of 7 tissues (intestine, heart, liver, gill, brain, muscle and blood) were obtained from V. parahaemolyticus infected crabs and the control groups, respectively. By aligning the sequencing data with known miRNAs, we characterized 421 miRNA families, and 133 conserved miRNA families in mud crab S. paramamosain were either identical or very similar to existing miRNAs in miRBase. Stem-loop qRT-PCRs were used to scan the expression levels of four randomly chosen differentially expressed miRNAs and tissue distribution. Eight novel potential miRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis and the precursors of these novel miRNAs were verified by PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing in S. paramamosain. 161 miRNAs (106 of which up-regulated and 55 down-regulated) were significantly differentially expressed during the challenge and the potential targets of these differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted. Furthermore, we demonstrated evolutionary conservation of mud crab miRNAs in the animal evolution process.Conclusions/significanceIn this study, a large number of miRNAs were identified in S. paramamosain when challenged with V. parahaemolyticus, some of which were differentially expressed. The results show that miRNAs might play some important roles in regulating gene expression in mud crab under V. parahaemolyticus infection, providing a basis for further investigation of miRNA-modulating networks in innate immunity of mud crab.
