Deletion of the fungus specific protein phosphatase Z1 exaggerates the consequences of oxidative stress elicited by tert-butyl-hydroperoxide in Candida albicans (RNAseq data set)

ABSTRACT: Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen which is responsible for widespread nosocomial infections. It encompasses a fungus specific serine/threonine protein phosphatase gene CaPPZ1 that is involved in cation transport, cell wall integrity, oxidative stress response, morphological alterations, and virulence. We demonstrated that tert-butyl-hydoperoxide induced oxidative stress suppressed the growth rate and blocked the proliferation of the fungal cells without effecting their viability, both in the cappz1 KO mutant and in the genetically matching QMY23 control strains. To reveal the gene expression changes behind the above observation we carried out a global transcriptome analysis by DNA microarray hybridization as well as RNA sequencing, and confirmed our results by quantitative RT-PCR. The numbers of genes affected and the amplitudes of the transcript-level changes revealed that the deletion of CaPPZ1 enhances the effects of oxidative stress. Thus the roles of this fungus specific protein phosphatase in important physiological processes like membrane transport, cell surface interactions, oxidoreductase activity, cell signaling, translation, and RNA processing becomes more pronounced under oxidative conditions. We conclude that in the wild type C. albicans CaPPZ1 has a protective role against oxidative damage, and suggest that the specific inhibition of this phosphatase combined with mild oxidative treatment could be a feasible approach of topical antifungal therapy.

The Negative Effect of Protein Phosphatase Z1 Deletion on the Oxidative Stress Tolerance of Candida albicans Is Synergistic with Betamethasone Exposure

Project description:The glucocorticoid betamethasone (BM) has potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects; however, it increases the susceptibility of patients to superficial Candida infections. Previously we found that this disadvantageous side effect can be counteracted by menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB) induced oxidative stress treatment. The fungus specific protein phosphatase Z1 (CaPpz1) has a pivotal role in oxidative stress response of Candida albicans and was proposed as a potential antifungal drug target. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of CaPPZ1 gene deletion and MSB treatment in BM pre-treated C. albicans cultures. We found that the combined treatment increased redox imbalance, enhanced the specific activities of antioxidant enzymes, and reduced the growth in cappz1 mutant (KO) strain. RNASeq data demonstrated that the presence of BM markedly elevated the number of differentially expressed genes in the MSB treated KO cultures. Accumulation of ROS, increased iron content and fatty acid oxidation, as well as the inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis and RNA metabolic processes explain, at least in part, the fungistatic effect caused by the combined stress exposure. We suggest that the synergism between MSB treatment and CaPpz1 inhibition could be considered in developing of a novel combinatorial antifungal strategy accompanying steroid therapy.

Ribosomal/nucleolar stress induction regulates tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) mediated oxidative stress in Anopheles gambiae midguts

Project description:A general understanding of redox homeostasis in An. gambiae midgut epithelial cells under different oxidative conditions during P. falciparum ookinete invasion is missing. We used an ex vivo midgut culture model to understand AgTrx-1 protein expression pattern in An. gambiae midguts under oxidative stress of the ROS inducer, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP). We then quantified the midgut proteomic expression profile to understand organ-level regulation of the response to oxidative stress. An. gambiae midguts under low (50M) and high (200M) tBHP concentrations were enriched in ribosomal proteins (RPs), consistent with cells undergoing ribosomal/nucleolar stress. Nevertheless, these midguts were also enriched in peptidases, integral membrane proteins, and cytochrome P450s indicating cells that are undergoing protein processing and folding through post-translational modification (PTMs), and detoxification of toxic compounds through active efflux. This response to oxidative stress was strikingly dissimilar to that observed from previous studies with another dipteran, Drosophila following oxidative stress induction. Our data indicates that the response to tBHP induced oxidative stress is mild and suggests that the associated antioxidant response is similar to what is observed during midgut invasion of P. falciparum okinete. Furthermore, our data shows that ribosomal/nucleolar stress is crucial in the regulation of oxidative stress in An. gambiae midguts. Given this importance, its possible to develop mechanisms to perturb this ribosomal/nucleolar stress response in An. gambiae resulting into unmanageable levels of oxidative stress exposure to Plasmodium parasite in the midgut, yet still allowing the mosquito to survive the perturbation. Unmanageable levels of oxidative stress could result to harmful effect to the Plasmodium and eventually its death resulting into halting of its transmission.

Transcriptional landscape of transkingdom communication between Candida albicans and Streptococcus gordonii

Project description:Recent studies have shown that the transcriptional landscape of the pleiomorphic fungus Candida albicans is highly dependent upon growth conditions. Here using a dual RNA-seq approach we identified 299 C. albicans and 72 Streptococcus gordonii genes that were either up- or down-regulated specifically as a result of co-culturing these human oral cavity microorganisms. Seventy five C. albicans genes involved in responses to chemical stimuli, regulation, homeostasis, protein modification and cell cycle were statistically (P ≤0.05) upregulated, while 36 genes mainly involved in transport and translation were down-regulated. Upregulation of filamentation-associated TEC1 and FGR42 genes, and of ALS1 adhesin gene, concurred with previous evidence that the C. albicans yeast to hypha transition is promoted by S. gordonii. Increased expression of genes required for arginine biosynthesis in C. albicans was potentially indicative of a novel oxidative stress response. The transcriptional response of S. gordonii to C. albicans was less dramatic, with only eight S. gordonii genes significantly (P ≤0.05) up-regulated ≥ twofold (glpK, rplO, celB, rplN, rplB, rpsE, ciaR, and gat). The expression patterns suggest that signals from S. gordonii cause a positive filamentation response in C. albicans, while S. gordonii appears to be transcriptionally less influenced by C. albicans.

Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Dal80Δ) to linoleic acid hydroperoxide

Project description:Oxidative stress is experienced by all aerobic organisms and results in cellular damage. The damage caused during oxidative stress is particular to the oxidant challenge faced, and so too is the induced stress response. The eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae is sensitive to low concentrations of the lipid hydroperoxide - linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LoaOOH) - and its response is unique relative to other peroxide treatments. Part of the yeast response to LoaOOH includes a change in the cellular requirement for nutrients, such as sulfur, nitrogen and various metal ions. The metabolism of sulfur is involved in antioxidant defence, although the role nitrogen during oxidative stress is not well understood. Investigating the response induced by yeast to overcome LoaOOH exposure, with a particular focus on nitrogen metabolism, will lead to greater understanding of how eukaryotes survive lipid hydroperoxide-induced stress, and associated lipid peroxidation, which occurs in the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids. We used genome-wide microarrays to investigate the changes in gene expression of S. cerevisiae (Dal80Δ) to LoaOOH-induced oxidative stress.
