Transcriptomics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposed to zinc limitation, zinc depletion by calprotectin and TPEN, and zinc toxicity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the transcriptomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis m2 6206 (Mtb) exposed to varying concentration of zinc (Zn2+) in vitro that mimic the concentrations of Zn2+ experienced in vivo during infection. Mtb were grown in the chemically defined Sauton's medium without Zn2+ added until expression of Zur-regulated genes were observed, indicating the onset of Zn-limitation. Cells were then treated with with different concentrations of Zn2+ through addition of 500 uM Zn2+, 6uM Zn2+, no added Zn2+, 0.35 mg/mL recombinant calprotectin (CP) or 0.8 µM N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (TPEN). After 24 hours of exposure to the different [Zn2+] conditions, RNA was harvested, prepared for RNA-seq, and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform with a paired-end (2x150bp) configuration.
