Project description:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a very common bacterial infectious disease in humans, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most frequent cause of UTIs. During infection, UPEC must cope with a variety of stressful conditions in the urinary tract. Here, we demonstrated that the small RNA (sRNA) RyfA of UPEC strains was required for resistance to oxidative and osmotic stresses. Inactivation of ryfA in UPEC strain CFT073 decreased urinary tract colonization in CBA/J mice and the ryfA mutant also had reduced production of type 1 and P fimbriae, which are known to be important for UTI. Transcriptomic analysis of the ryfA mutant showed changes in expression of genes associated with general stress responses, metabolism, biofilm formation and genes coding for cell surface proteins. Furthermore, loss of ryfA also reduced UPEC survival in human macrophages. Thus, ryfA plays a key regulatory role in UPEC adaptation to stress, that contributes to UTI and survival in macrophages.

Project description:More than half of women will experience a urinary tract infection (UTI) with uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) causing ~80% of uncomplicated cases. Iron acquisition systems are essential for uropathogenesis, and UPEC encode functionally redundant iron acquisition systems, underlining their importance. However, a recent UPEC clinical isolate, HM7 lacks this functional redundancy and instead encodes a sole siderophore, enterobactin. To determine if E. coli HM7 possesses unidentified iron acquisition systems, we performed RNA-sequencing under iron-limiting conditions and demonstrated the ferric citrate uptake system (fecABCDE and fecIR) was highly upregulated. Importantly, there are high levels of citrate within urine, some of which is bound to iron, and the fec system is highly enriched in UPEC isolates compared to commensal or fecal strains. Therefore, we hypothesized that HM7 and other similar strains use the fec system to acquire iron in the host. Deletion of both enterobactin biosynthesis and ferric citrate uptake (ΔentB/ΔfecA) abrogates use of ferric citrate as an iron source and fecA provides an advantage in pooled human urine in absence of enterobactin. However, in a UTI mouse model, fecA is a fitness factor independent of enterobactin production, likely due to the action of host Lipocalin-2 chelating ferrienterobactin. These findings indicate that ferric citrate uptake is used as an iron source when siderophore efficacy is limited, such as in the host during UTI. Defining these novel compensatory mechanisms and understanding the nutritional hierarchy of preferred iron sources within the urinary tract are important in the search for new approaches to combat UTI.

Project description:Data defines for the first time a whole bladder transcriptome of UPEC cystitis in female CBA mice using genome-wide expression profiling to map early host response pathways stemming from UPEC colonization We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in UPEC UTI in mice Whole mouse bladder collected at 2h following transurethral infection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Non-pooled samples were used, with one array per mouse to expand power of expression profiles. Control mice received only PBS as a mock infection. Group sizes were five mice per group, and therefore five arrays were used per group.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) serve key proposed roles in defending the urinary tract against invading uropathogens, but individual AMPs bearing greatest responsibility for these functions remain largely unknown. We identified RegIIIγ as the most transcriptionally upregulated AMP in bladder transcriptomes following uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection. We confirmed induction of RegIIIγ mRNA during cystitis and pyelonephritis by quantitative RT-PCR. Immunoblotting demonstrates increased bladder and urinary RegIIIγ protein levels following UPEC infection. Immunostaining localizes RegIIIγ protein to urothelial cells of infected bladders and kidneys. Human patients with cystitis and pyelonephritis exhibit increased urine levels of the orthologous HIP/PAP protein. Recombinant RegIIIγ protein does not demonstrate bactericidal activity toward UPEC in vitro, but does kill Staphylococcus saprophyticus in a dose-dependent manner. RegIIIγ knockout and control urinary tracts contain comparable bacterial burden following experimental inoculation of UPEC as well as Gram-positive uropathogens. Thus, while RegIIIγ and HIP/PAP expression occurs in human and murine UTI, their specific functions in the urinary tract remain uncertain.

Project description:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI). UPEC normally reside in the intestine, and during establishment of UTI, it undergoes metabolic adaptations, first to urine and then upon tissue invasion to the bladder cell interior. In order to understand these adaptations, we used quantitative proteomic profiling to characterize protein expression of UPEC strain UTI89 growing in human urine and when inside J82 bladder cells. In order to facilitate detection of UPEC proteins over the excess amount of eukaryotic proteins in bladder cells, we developed a method where proteins from UTI89 grown in MOPS and urine was spiked-in to enhance detection of bacterial proteins. More than 2000 E. coli proteins were detected. During growth in urine, proteins associated with iron acquisition and several amino acid uptake and biosynthesis systems, in particular arginine metabolism, were significantly upregulated. During growth in J82 cells, proteins related to iron uptake and arginine metabolisms were upregulated together with proteins involved in sulphur compound turnover. Results suggested that UPEC experience a richer environment in bladder cells compared to urine. There was no direct correlation between upregulated proteins and proteins reported to be essential for infections, showing that upregulation during growth does not signify that the proteins are essential for growth under a condition.
