The transcription factor Pdr802 regulates Titan cell production and Cryptococcus neoformans pathogenicity

Project description:We report on our study the role of C. neoformans transcription factor Pdr802, whose expression is highly induced under host-like conditions in vitro and is critical for C. neoformans dissemination and virulence in a mouse model of infection. We found that direct targets of Pdr802 include the calcineurin targets Had1 and Pmc1, which are important for C. neoformans virulence, the transcription factor Bzp4, which promotes cryptococcal melanization and capsule thickness, and 35 transmembrane transporters. Notably, a strain engineered to lack Pdr802 showed a dramatically increased population of Titan cells. Since Titan cells are not phagocyted and do not disseminate via the Trojan horse mechanism or via penetration of biological barriers, this likely explains the reduced dissemination of pdr802 cells to the central nervous system and consequently reduced pathogenicity of this strain. The role of Pdr802 as a negative regulator of titanisation is thus critical for cryptococcal virulence.

Transcriptome of ex vivo-sorted and in vitro-grown Cryptococcus neoformans cells

Project description:We compared the transcriptome of subpopulations of Cryptococcus neoformans cells within the lungs and C. neoformans cells cultured in capsule repressing medium, capsule inducing medium, and capsule inducing medium with the addition of 10% conditioned medium from cells grown in capsule repressing medium. The aim of the study was to identify genes that regulate C. neoformans cell body and capsule size reductions.

Time-course microarray study of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans (JEC20xJEC21) sexual development

Project description:To identify the genome-wide transcriptional changes that occur throughout sexual developmen of C. neoformans, we conducted a time-course microarray experiment spanning six developmental stages to generate a temporal expression pattern for each known gene. C. neoformans a x α co-cultures were grown under sexual development conditions (V8 agar), and RNA was harvested at 0.5, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-mixing. Time points were chosen based on microscopic identification of cell types of interest: fusants, filaments (early and late), basidia, and spores (Figure 1B). Microarray hybridizations were conducted in a loop design, with each sample serving as a reference for the following time point in the experiment (e.g. 0.5 hours vs. 6 hours, 6 hours vs. 12 hours, etc).

Titan cell production enhances the virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans.

Project description:Infection with Cryptococcus neoformans begins when desiccated yeast cells or spores are inhaled and lodge in the alveoli of the lungs. A subset of cryptococcal cells in the lungs differentiate into enlarged cells, referred to as titan cells. Titan cells can be as large as 50 to 100 ?m in diameter and exhibit a number of features that may affect interactions with host immune defenses. To characterize the effect of titan cell formation on the host-pathogen interaction, we utilized a previously described C. neoformans mutant, the gpr4? gpr5? mutant, which has minimal titan cell production in vivo. The gpr4? gpr5? mutant strain had attenuated virulence, a lower CFU, and reduced dissemination compared to the wild-type strain. Titan cell production by the wild-type strain also resulted in increased eosinophil accumulation and decreased phagocytosis in the lungs compared to those with the gpr4? gpr5? mutant strain. Phagocytosed cryptococcal cells exhibited less viability than nonphagocytosed cells, which potentially explains the reduced cell survival and overall attenuation of virulence in the absence of titan cells. These data show that titan cell formation is a novel virulence factor in C. neoformans that promotes establishment of the initial pulmonary infection and plays a key role in disease progression.
