Functional Characterisation of the Core Autophagy Protein ATG5 in Dictyostelium discoideum

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Global survey of the transcriptome in autophagy-deficient strains of D. discoideum Results: Our RNAseq analysis of ATG5‾, ATG5‾/12‾ and ATG5‾/12‾/16‾ cells revealed major transcriptional changes in a large number of genes in comparison to AX2 Conclusions: Our study presents a first detailed analysis of the transcriptome in autophagy-deficient strains of D. discoideum. The data were generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimised data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterisation would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.

Project description:Differential gene expression of Dictyostelium discoideum after infection with Legionella pneumophila was investigated using DNA microarrays. A detailed analysis of the 24 h time point post infection was performed in comparison to three controls, uninfected cells and co-incubation with Legionella hackeliae and L. pneumophila DeltadotA. One hundred and thirty-one differentially expressed D. discoideum genes were identified as common to all three experiments and are thought to be involved in the pathogenic response. Functional annotation of the differentially regulated genes revealed that apart from triggering a stress response Legionella apparently not only interferes with intracellular vesicle fusion and destination but also profoundly influences and exploits the metabolism of its host. The results provide the basis for a better understanding of the complex host-pathogen interactions and for further studies on the Dictyostelium response to Legionella infection. The bacterial strains used in this study were L. pneumophila Philadelphia I JR32, L. pneumophila Philadelphia I JR32 LELA 3118 (dotA3118:Tn903 DLL LacZ) and L. hackeliae (ATCC 35250). The Legionella strains were grown on buffered charcoal yeast extract agar (BCYE) at 37M-BM-0C with 5% CO2 atmosphere for 3 days. The D. discoideum wild-type strain AX2 was grown at 23M-BM-0C in 75 cm2 cell-culture flasks with 10 ml HL5 medium. For infection, Dictyostelium cells were harvested, resuspended in a 1:1 solution of HL5 medium and Soerensen buffer. Fifteen millilitres of a 1M-CM-^W10e6 cells/ml suspension were seeded into a 75 square-cm cell culture flask and the amoebae were inoculated with 10e7 bacteria/ml. Three different pairs of infection were compared: 1. AX2 infected with L. pneumophila JR32 versus uninfected cells; 19 microarrays of seven independent infections; 2. AX2 infected with L. pneumophila JR32 versus AX2 infected with L. pneumophila JR32 delta DotA; 4 microarrays of two independent infections; 3. AX2 infected with L. pneumophila JR32 versus AX2 infected with L. hackeliae; 4 microarrays of two independent infections. 24h post infection the RNA was isolated from 1.5M-CM-^W10e7 Dictyostelium cells and microarray analysis was performed as described (Farbrother et al., 2006).
