Gene expression profile in patients inoculated with Escherichia coli 83972

ABSTRACT: Mucosal surfaces provide ideal living conditions for the normal flora but paradoxically, they also serve as attack sites for numerous bacterial pathogens that cause extensive morbidity and mortality. Understanding this dichotomy is critical for efforts to selectively target and remove pathogens without disturbing the commensal flora or its protective effects. The complex nature of disease predicts that virulence is multifaceted and that pathogens need multiple virulence factors to initiate tissue attack, disrupt immune homeostasis and create symptoms and pathology. The urinary tract supports ABU; a commensal-like state, which has been shown to prevent super-infection with more virulent strains. To reproduce this protective effect, we have established a protocol to create ABU, by inoculation with the ABU strain E. coli 83972. The therapeutic efficacy and safety of this procedure has been documented in placebo-controlled studies in patients with incomplete bladder voiding. Genome sequencing of E. coli 83972 has revealed a general “loss of virulence” phenotype, which includes fimbrial genes. E. coli 83972 lacks functional P or type 1 fimbriae, due to attenuating point mutations in the papG adhesin gene and a large, inactivating deletion in the fim gene cluster. Both fimbrial types have been proposed to enhance bacterial persistence in the urinary tract. In an attempt to increase the efficiency of E. coli 83972 inoculation and extend its use to include UTI-prone patients with complete bladder voiding, we restored P- and type 1-fimbrial expression and addressed how fimbriae affect the gene expression in inoculated human hosts.

Gene expression profile in patients inoculated with E. coli 83972

Project description:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute a highly relevant model of microbial adaptation, in which the contrasting effects of pathogens and commensals on host tissues are clearly displayed. While virulent Escherichia coli cause severe, potentially life-threatening disease by breaking the inertia of the mucosal barrier and infecting the kidneys, the most common outcome of bacteriuria is an asymptomatic carrier state resembling commensalism at other mucosal sites. It remains unclear if the lack of destructive inflammation merely reflects low virulence or if carrier strains actively inhibit disease associated responses in the host. To address this question, we examined the effects of asymptomatic bacterial carriage on host gene expression. Therapeutic urinary tract inoculation with the prototype ABU strain E. coli 83972 is a safe alternative approach in patients with therapy-resistant recurrent UTI. The strain establishes persistent bacteriuria, protecting patients against super-infection with more virulent strains. Using this protocol, we examined if the establishment of asymptomatic bacterial carriage alters host gene expression. After antibiotic treatment to remove prior infection, patients were inoculated with E. coli 83972 through a catheter. Blood samples were obtained before and 24 h after inoculation.

Esherichia coli O157:H7 F9 fimbriae recognize plant xyloglucan and elicit a response in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Fresh produce are often a source of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) outbreaks. Fimbriae are extracellular structures involved in cell-to-cell attachment and surface colonisation. F9 (fml) fimbriae have been shown to be expressed at temperatures lower than 37°C, implying a function outwith the mammalian host. As fimbriae are multimeric structures with a molecular pattern, we investigated whether F9 fimbriae could induce a transcriptional response in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, compared to flagella (H7) and another fimbrial type (Mat3), using DNA microarrays. F9 induced the differential expression of 435 genes, including genes involved in the plant defence response.

Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC14028 fimZ mutant

Project description:Fimbriae are hair-like structures present on the outer membrane of many Enterobacteriaceae and such appendages are proposed to play a significant role in the attachment of the bacteria to host cells and tissues. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has the potential to produce 13 different fimbrial types, among which type 1 fimbriae is the most common found. Expression of type 1 fimbriae is cooperatively controlled by fimZ, fimY, stm0551, fimW, and fimU within the fim gene cluster. FimZ belongs to the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system in bacteria and functions as a DNA binding protein. FimZ is a positive regulator for type 1 fimbrial expression in S. Typhimurium. A fimZ mutant in ATCC 14028 strain constructed by allelic exchange did not produce type 1 fimbriae. Total RNA was extracted from the parental ATCC 14028 and its fimZ mutant cultured in static broth and analyzed by hybridization to a S. Typhimurium LT2 DNA microarray. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the type 1 fimbriae related genes, multidrug efflux protein gene acrF were down-regulated, whereas flagella associated genes, chemotaxis and virulence genes such as invF and invH genes were up-regulated in the fimZ mutant strain. It is possible that FimZ protein may play a role to interact with other genes besides regulating type 1 fimbriae.

Salmonella Typhimurium fimZ mutant

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium produces type 1 fimbriae on the outer membrane and such hair-like appendages is proposed to play a significant role in the attachment of the bacteria to host cells and tissues. S. Typhimurium cultured in static broth favors expression of type 1 fimbriae. Conversely, solid agar medium represses type 1 fimbrial expression. Production of type 1 fimbriae is cooperatively regulated by fimZ, fimY, stm0551, fimW, and fimU within the fim gene cluster. FimZ belongs to the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system in bacteria and functions as a DNA binding protein. FimZ can bind to the promoter of the fimbrial major subunit gene fimA to activate its expression and produce type 1 fimbriae. A fimZ mutant in LB5010 strain constructed by allelic exchange was found to be non-fimbriate. Total RNA was extracted from the parental LB5010 and the fimZ mutant strain cultured in static broth and analyzed by hybridization to a S. Typhimurium LT2 DNA microarray. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the stress response related gene cpxP, soxS and type 1 fimbriae related genes were down-regulated, whereas plasmid-encoded fimbriae, flagella associated genes and virulence genes like virK and mgtC were up-regulated in the fimZ mutant strain. It is possible that FimZ protein may play a role to interact with other genes besides fim genes. Mechanisms of this crosstalk warrant further elucidation.

TosR-mediated regulation of adhesins and biofilm formation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Project description:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli utilize a variety of adherence factors that assist in colonization of the host urinary tract. TosA (type one secretion) is a non-fimbrial adhesin that is predominately expressed during murine urinary tract infection (UTI), binds to kidney epithelial cells, and promotes survival during invasive infections. The tosRCBDAEF operon encodes the secretory machinery necessary for TosA localization to the E. coli cell surface, as well as the transcriptional regulator TosR. TosR binds upstream of the tos operon and, in a concentration dependent manner, either induces or represses tosA expression. TosR is a member of the PapB family of fimbrial regulators that can participate in crosstalk between fimbrial operons. TosR also binds upstream of the pap operon and suppresses PapA production. However, the scope of TosR-mediated crosstalk is understudied and may be underestimated. To quantify the global effects of TosR-mediated regulation on the E. coli CFT073 genome, we induced expression of tosR, collected mRNA, and performed RNA-Seq. These findings show that production of TosR affected the expression of genes involved with adhesins, including P, F1C, and Auf; nitrate/nitrite transport; microcin secretion; and promoted biofilm formation.

Proteus mirabilis mrpJ microarrays

Project description:This series of microarrays compares gene expression by the bacterial pathogen Proteus mirabilis when the transcriptional regulator mrpJ is deleted or induced to levels found during experimental urinary tract infection. The enteric bacterium Proteus mirabilis is associated with a significant number of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Strict regulation of the antagonistic processes of adhesion and motility, mediated by fimbriae and flagella, respectively, is essential for successful disease progression. Previously, the transcriptional regulator MrpJ, which is encoded by the mrp fimbrial operon, has been shown to repress both swimming and swarming motility. Here we show that MrpJ affects a wide array of cellular processes beyond adherence and motility. Microarray analysis found that expression of mrpJ mimicking expression levels that occur during UTI leads to differential expression of 217 genes related to, among others, bacterial virulence, type VI secretion and metabolism. We probed the molecular mechanism of transcriptional regulation through MrpJ using reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Two virulence-associated target genes, the flagellar master regulator flhDC and mrp itself, appear to be regulated through a binding site proximal to the transcriptional start, complemented by a more distantly situated enhancer site. Furthermore, an mrpJ deletion mutant colonized the bladders of mice at significantly lower levels in a transurethral model of infection. Additionally, we observe that mrpJ is widely conserved in a collection of recent clinical isolates, leading us to conclude that our results elucidate an unanticipated role of MrpJ as a global regulator of P. mirabilis virulence. Four biological replicates were analyzed for each set of arrays (P. mirabilis HI4320 wild type vs. ΔmrpJ, and vector pLX3607 vs. mrpJ plasmid pLX3805).

Salmonella Typhimurium stbC mutant

Project description:Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium produces a variety of fimbrial appendages, among which the type 1 fimbriae is the most common type. In vitro static broth culture favors S. Typhimurium to produce type 1 fimbriae, while solid agar inhibits its expression. A transposon inserted in the stbC gene, which would encode an usher protein for Stb fimbriae of a non-flagellar S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, conferred it to agglutinate yeast cells on both cultures, and was mannose-sensitive. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that the expression of the fimbrial major subunit gene fimA, and fimZ, a positive regulator gene of fimA, were both increased in the stbC mutant strain when grown on LB agar; fimW, a repressor gene of fimA, exhibited lower expression. Flagella were observed in the stbC mutant and this phenotype was correlated with the motile phenotype detected by MSRV agar medium and reaction with flagella antiserum. Microarray data and RT-PCR also indicated that the expression of three genes, motA, motB, and cheM, was enhanced in the stbC mutant. The S. Typhimurium stbC mutant was resistant to a variety of antibiotics, consistent with the finding that expression of yhcQ and ramA, two genes involved in multidrug resistance, was enhanced. A complementation test revealed that transforming a recombinant plasmid possessing the coding sequence of the stbC gene restored the mannose-sensitive agglutination phenotype to the stbC mutant much as that in the parental S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, indicating the possibility of an interplay of different fimbrial systems in coordinating their expression. Key Words: Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium, fimbriae, type 1 fimbriae, stbC, transposon, multidrug resistant, flagella RNA transcript of Salmonella Typhimurium LB5010 strain comparing wild-type with stbC mutant. Two-cindition experiment, wild-type vs. stbC mutant strain.
