Unveiling co-infection in cystic fibrosis airways: Transcriptomic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus dual-species biofilms

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most prevalent pathogens that colonize structurally abnormal airways such as those in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and other chronic obstructive lung diseases. Although these bacteria seem to succeed one another, CF patients acquire coinciding P. aeruginosa and S. aureus pulmonary infections, being co-infection usually associated with decreased lung function and increased frequency of pulmonary exacerbations. In addition, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus pathogens adopt a biofilm mode of growth, which contributes to high tolerance to antibiotic treatment and the recalcitrant nature of these chronic coinfections, leading to significant patient morbidity and mortality. Interactions between P. aeruginosa and S. aureus have been widely studied and it is commonly admitted that P. aeruginosa outcompetes S. aureus, perhaps outcompeting S. aureus for limited nutrients or producing anti-staphylococcal compounds, having S. aureus a minimal contribution to the overall course of the infection. However, the molecular mechanisms behind these interactions are largely unknown. Herein, we decided to characterize the full transcriptome of these dual-species biofilms, to unveil important molecular interactions that can occur between these two bacterial species that are relevant for the pathogenesis of the entire consortia. Our data provide novel insights into the role of interspecies interactions in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus co-infections and will contribute to future studies by the research community.

Novel virulence factors in host-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of the Cystic Fibrosis airways

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa airway infection is the primary cause of death in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). During early infection P. aeruginosa produces multiple virulence factors, which cause acute pulmonary disease and are largely regulated by quorum sensing (QS) intercellular signalling networks. Longitudinal clinical studies have observed the loss, through adaptive mutation, of QS and QS-related virulence in late chronic infection. Although the mechanisms are not understood, infection with QS mutants has been linked to a worse outcome for CF patients. By comparing QS-active and QS-inactive P. aeruginosa CF isolates, we have identified novel virulence factors and pathways associated with QS disruption. In particular, we noted factors implicating increased intra-phagocyte survival. Our data present novel targets as candidates for future CF therapies. Some of these targets are already the subject of drug development programmes for the treatment of other bacterial pathogens and may provide cross-over benefit to the CF population. Refer to individual Series. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25128: Gene expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections GSE25129: Comparative genomic hybridisation data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections

Expression data of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Cystic Fibrosis patients in Denmark

Project description:CF patients suffer from chronic and recurrent respiratory tract infections which eventually lead to lung failure followed by death. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major pathogens for CF patients and is the principal cause of mortality and morbidity in CF patients. Once it gets adapted, P. aeruginosa can persist for several decades in the respiratory tracts of CF patients, overcoming host defense mechanisms as well as intensive antibiotic therapies. P. aeruginosa CF strains isolated from different infection stage were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two batch of P. aeruginosa CF isolates are chosen : 1) isolates from a group of patients since 1973-2008 as described in ref (PMID: 21518885); 2) isolates from a group of newly infected children as described in ref (PMID: 20406284).

Contribution of Veillonella parvula to Pseudomonas aeruginosa mediated pathogenicity in a murine tumor model system

Project description:We investigated the specific interactions of the most dominant bacterial CF-pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the anaerobic bacterium Veilllonella parvula, that has been recovered at comparable cell numbers in the respiratory tract of CF patients. We used our recently established in-vivo murine tumor model to investigate mutual influences of the two pathogens during a biofilm-associated infection process. We found that although P. aeruginosa and V. parvula colonized distinct niches within the tumor, in mice that were co-infected with both bacterial species significant higher cell numbers of P. aeruginosa were recovered from the tumor tissue. Concordantly, in vivo transcriptional profiling implied that the presence of V. parvula supports P. aeruginosa growth at the infected host site, and the higher P. aeruginosa load correlated with clinical deterioration. We cultivated P. aeruginosa PA14 and V. parvula DSM No.:2008 in mono- and co-cultures in vivo using an established murine tumor model. Corresponding in vitro samples were generated under anaerobe growth conditions.

Cysteamine inhibits glycine utilisation and disrupts virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic human pathogen which employs a myriad of virulence factors. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF) P. aeruginosa frequently colonises the lungs and becomes a chronic infection that evolves to become less virulent over time, but often adapts to favour persistence in the host with alginate-producing mucoid, slow-growing, and antibiotic resistant phenotypes emerging. Cysteamine is an endogenous aminothiol which has been shown to prevent biofilm formation, reduce phenazine production, and potentiate antibiotic activity against P. aeruginosa, and has been investigated in clinical trials as an adjunct therapy for pulmonary exacerbations of CF. Here we demonstrate (for the first time in a prokaryote) that cysteamine prevents glycine utilisation by P. aeruginosa in common with reported activity blocking the glycine cleavage system in human cells. Despite the inhibition of glycine metabolism, cysteamine inhibits hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production by P. aeruginosa, implicating interference in the regulation of virulence. Cysteamine impaired chemotaxis and reductions in pyocyanin and exopolysaccharide production in cysteamine-treated P. aeruginosa and reduced toxicity of secreted factors in a Galleria mellonella model. Thus, cysteamine has additional potent anti-virulence properties targeting P. aeruginosa, further supporting its therapeutic potential in CF and other infections.

Importance of superoxide dismutases A and M for protection of Staphylococcus aureus in the oxidative stressful environment of the cystic fibrosis airways

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is one of the earliest pathogens that persists the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and contributes to increased inflammation and decreased lung function. In contrast to other staphylococci, S. aureus possesses two superoxide dismutases (SODs), SodA and SodM, with SodM being unique to S. aureus. Both SODs arm S. aureus for its fight against oxidative stress, a byproduct of inflammatory reactions. Despite complex investigations it is still unclear, if both enzymes are crucial for the special pathogenicity of S. aureus. To investigate the role of both SODs during staphylococcal persistence in CF airways, we analyzed survival and gene expression of S. aureus CF isolates and laboratory strains in different CF-related in vitro and ex vivo settings. Bacteria located in inflammatory and oxidized CF sputum transcribed high levels of sodA and sodM. Especially expression values of sodM were remarkably higher in CF sputum than in bacterial in vitro cultures. Interestingly, also S. aureus located in airway epithelial cells expressed elevated transcript numbers of both SODs, indicating that S. aureus is exposed to oxidative stress at various sites within CF airways. Both enzymes promoted survival of S. aureus during PMN killing and seem to act compensatory, thereby giving evidence that the interwoven interaction of SodA and SodM contributes to S. aureus virulence and facilitates S. aureus persistence within CF airways

Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene regulation by Staphylococcus aureus supernatant or added secreted products

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are often co-isolated in persistent infections. The goal of this study was to determine how secreted products that were identified in S. aureus supernatant affect gene expression in P. aeruginosa. Therefore, media control, the indicated products in media, or S. aureus supernatant was added to P. aeruginosa cultures at 25% total volume and gene expression was measured at 20 min and 2 h using RNA-seq. The individual products induced distinct pathways in P. aeruginosa. The products in combination recapitulated much of the differential gene expression seen in P. aeruginosa in response to S. aureus supernatant.

Transcriptional responses of K. pneumoniae, S. maltophilia, P.aeruginosa, and B. thailandensis exposed to lung surfactant

Project description:The interactions between Gram-negative respiratory pathogens and the host environment at the site of infection largely unknown. Pulmonary surfactant serves as an initial point of contact for inhaled bacteria entering the lung and is thought to contain molecular cues that aid colonization and pathogenesis. To gain insight into this ecological transition, we characterized the transcriptional responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Burkholderia thailandensis E264, Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279A exposed to purified pulmonary surfactant (Survanta) through microarrays. This study provides novel insight into the interactions occurring between Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens and the host at an important infection site, and demonstrates the utility of purified lung surfactant preparations for dissecting host-lung pathogen interactions in vitro. The goal of this study was to compare the transcriptional responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Burkholderia thailandensis E264, Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78578, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279A exposed to pulmonary surfactant using a custom affymetrix chip designed for their genomes.
