Aconitate decarboxylase 1 participates in the control of pulmonary Brucella infection in mice

ABSTRACT: Brucellosis is one of the most widespread bacterial zoonoses worldwide. Here, our aim was to identify the effector mechanisms controlling the early stages of intranasal infection with Brucella in C57BL/6 mice. During the first 48 hours of infection, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the main cells infected in the lungs. Using RNA sequencing, we identified the aconitate decarboxylase 1 gene (Acod1; also known as Immune responsive gene 1), as one of the genes most upregulated in murine AMs in response to B. melitensis infection at 24 hours post-infection. Upregulation of Acod1 was confirmed by RT-qPCR in lungs infected with B. melitensis and B. abortus. We observed that Acod1-/- C57BL/6 mice display a higher bacterial load in their lungs than wild-type (wt) mice following B. melitensis or B. abortus infection, demonstrating that Acod1 participates in the control of pulmonary Brucella infection. The ACOD1 enzyme is mostly produced in mitochondria of macrophages, and converts cis-aconitate, a metabolite in the Krebs cycle, into itaconate. Dimethyl itaconate (DMI), a chemically-modified membrane permeable form of itaconate, has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on Brucella growth in vitro. Interestingly, modelling studies suggest the binding of itaconate into the binding site of isocitrate lyase. DMI does not inhibit multiplication of the isocitrate lyase deletion mutant ∆aceA B. abortus in vitro. Finally, we observed that, unlike the wt strain, the ∆aceA B. abortus strain multiplies similarly in wt and Acod1-/- C57BL/6 mice. These data suggest that bacterial isocitrate lyase might be a target of itaconate in AMs.

Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis

Project description:Brucella type strains (B. abortus 544 and B. melitensis 16 M), field-isolates (B. abortus T and B. melitensis C) were independently cultivated six times on Tryptic Soy Broth at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2 until mid-logarithmic phase. The cells were harvested by brief centrifugation and the bacteria was inactivated using recommended ethanol precipitation procedure. Following which the cells were lysed, proteins quantified and the differentially expressed proteins among B. abortus and B. melitensis were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) based label free quantitative proteomics analysis.

Transcription profiling of mouse splenocytes response to infection with wild type or virB mutant Brucella strains

Project description:The virB operon, encoding a Type IV secretion system (T4SS), is essential for intracellular survival and persistent infection of Brucella spp. To better understand the role of the T4SS in evading host defense mechanisms and establishing chronic infection, we compared transcriptional profiles of the host response to infection with wild type Brucella strains and strains that fail to express the virB genes. Analysis of host gene expression profiles three days after inoculation with wild type Brucella strains revealed an inflammatory response dominated by interferon-induced genes. This analysis found that not only the type II but also type I interferon pathway was elicited by Brucella infection. Real time RT-PCR showed that a group of genes from these pathways was induced by day 3 post-infection and declined to baseline levels by day 7. In contrast, neither of the two virB mutant strains elicited expression of interferon-induced genes, demonstrating that the T4SS was required to trigger an inflammatory response early during infection. Experiment Overall Design: We performed microarray-based expression analyses of splenocytes from mice infected with two virulent strains (B. abortus 2308 and B. melitensis 16M), and two different B. abortus virB mutants, whose virB operon was either disrupted (BA41) or completely deleted (ADH4.2), to better understand the contribution of the T4SS in establishing infection of the reticuloendothelial system. 3 days after infection of mice, spleens were excised for RNA extraction. For each bacterial strain, RNA from 5 mice was pooled and reverse transcribed for hybridization to an array. Each experiment was performed in duplicate.

Global gene transcriptional profiles of RAW 264.7 cells following the infection with Brucella abortus wild and mutant strains

Project description:We focused on whether transposon mutagenesis in Brucella abortus could induce difference in the trascriptional responses of RAW 264.7 cell infection model compared to the wild strain infected RAW 264.7 cells. The function of genes in Brucella abortus was analyzed through the identified differences in gene expression between RAW 264.7 cell infected with wild and mutant strains. We analyzed altered transcription in RAW 264.7 cells at 0, 6, 12, and 24 h following the infection with 10 MOI of Brucella abortus wild and mutant strains.

Differential Expression of Iron Acquisition Genes by Brucella melitensis and Brucella canis During Macrophage Infection (part 1)

Project description:Brucella melitensis and Brucella canis differ by ~75 genes yet B. melitensis is highly virulent for humans while B. canis is considered rarely pathogenic. No identified bacterial factors or mechanisms account for this difference in virulence. To identify functional differences of these two bacteria, gene transcription was examined during infection of murine macrophages and compared to bacteria grown in broth. Our analysis identified transcriptional differences in macrophage infection between B. melitensis and B. canis genes involved in iron transport. Increased transcription of the TonB, enterobactin, and ferric anguibactin transport systems were observed in B. canis but not B. melitensis during infection of macrophages. Therefore, iron appears as an important requirement during the first 24h of infection by B. canis but not for B. melitensis and provides strategies for controlling these pathogens.
