Transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveal the regulatory network governing red fruitbody disease in Morchella

ABSTRACT: True morels (Morchella spp., Morchellaceae, Ascomycota), a delicious edible mushroom, has rapidly expanded in recent years, especially in China. However, a severe disease of morels, red fruitbody disease, led to very low production of fruiting bodies. The cause reason and the mechanisms under red fruitbody are unclear. Herein, we integrated the transcriptomics and metabolomics data of M. sextelata from red fruitbody group (R) and normal group (N), which was artificial cultivation in Fujian province, China. Transcriptome data revealed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between R group and N group were significantly enriched in the pathways of tyrosine metabolism, riboflavin metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Similarly, the differential accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were mainly assigned to metabolism categories, including tyrosine metabolism, biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites, biosynthesis of amino acids, and others. Then, combined analysis of the transcriptome data and metabolome traits revealed that the most enriched pathway was tyrosine metabolism, followed by ABC transporters, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and others. In summary, this integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics data of M. sextelata during fruitbody redness implicated several key genes, metabolites, and pathways involved in this disease. We believe that these findings will help us understand the mechanisms under fruitbody redness of M. sextelata and provide new clues for optimizing the methods for its cultivation application.

Project description:To cause disease, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium requires two type-III secretion systems, encoded on Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands 1 and 2 (SPI-1 and -2). These secretion systems serve to deliver virulence proteins, termed effectors, into the host cell cytosol. While the importance of these effector proteins to promote colonization and replication within the host has been established, the specific roles of individual secreted effectors in the disease process are not well understood. In this study, we used an in vivo gallbladder epithelial cell infection model to study the function of the SPI-2-encoded effector, SseL. Deletion of the sseL gene resulted in bacterial filamentation and elongation and unusual localization of Salmonella within infected epithelial cells. Infection with the ?sseL strain also caused dramatic changes in lipid metabolism and led to massive accumulation of lipid droplets in infected cells. Some of these changes were investigated through metabolomics of gallbladder tissue. This phenotype was directly attributed to the deubiquitinase activity of SseL, as a Salmonella strain carrying a single point mutation in the catalytic cysteine resulted in the same phenotype as the deletion mutant. Excessive buildup of lipids due to the absence of a functional sseL gene was also observed in S. Typhimurium-infected livers. These results demonstrate that SseL alters host lipid metabolism in infected epithelial cells by modifying ubiquitination patterns of cellular targets. Female C57BL/6 mice were infected with the indicated strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by oral gavage. Four gallbladders were collected and pooled per sample group and metabolites extracted using a mixture of methanol and chloroform. Extracts were infused into a 12-T Apex-Qe hybrid quadrupole-FT-ICR mass spectrometer equipped with an Apollo II electrospray ionization source, a quadrupole mass filter and a hexapole collision cell. Raw mass spectrometry data were processed as described elsewhere (Han et al. 2008. Metabolomics. 4:128-140). To identify differences in metabolite composition between different groups of samples, we filtered the list of masses for metabolites which were present on one set of samples but not the other. Additionally, we calculated the ratios between averaged intensities of metabolites from each group of mice. To assign possible metabolite identities, monoisotopic neutral masses of interest were queried against MassTrix (http://masstrix.org). Masses were searched against the Mus musculus database within a mass error of 3 ppm.

Project description:Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound extracted from the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa) and has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. The safety and effectiveness of curcumin have been thoroughly proven. However, the mechanisms underlying the treatment of osteoarthritis remain unclear. This study aimed to reveal the potential mechanism of curcumin in the treatment of osteoarthritis through metabolomics and transcriptomics. First, we verified the effect of curcumin on inflammatory factors in human articular chondrocytes. Secondly, we used cellular metabolomics to explore the cellular metabolic mechanism of curcumin against osteoarthritis. Third, we evaluated differences in gene expression in human articular chondrocytes by transcriptomics. Finally, to evaluate essential targets and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of curcumin in the treatment of osteoarthritis, we performed a screen for proteins in pathways shared by metabolomics and transcriptomics. Our results showed that curcumin significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory markers, such as IL-β, IL-6, and TNF-α, in human articular chondrocytes. Cellular metabolomics identified 106 differential metabolites, including beta-aminopropionitrile, 3-amino-2-piperidone, pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, and various other components. Transcriptome analysis yielded 1050 differential mRNAs. Enrichment analysis showed that differential metabolites and mRNA were significantly enriched in 7 pathways including glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; interconversion of pentose and glucuronic acid; glycerolipid metabolism; histidine metabolism; mucin type O-glycan biosynthesis; phosphoinositide metabolism; and cysteine and methionine metabolism. A total of 23 key targets were identified to be involved in these pathways. We speculate that curcumin may alleviate osteoarthritis by targeting key proteins involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, inhibiting pyruvate production, and regulating glycolysis.

Project description:The interplay between pathogens and hosts has been studied for decades using targeted approaches such as the analysis of mutants and host immunological responses. Although much has been learned from such studies, they focus on individual pathways and fail to reveal the global effects of infection on the host. To alleviate this issue, high-throughput methods such as transcriptomics and proteomics have been used to study host-pathogen interactions. Recently, metabolomics was established as a new method to study changes in the biochemical composition of host tissues. We report a metabolomics study of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection. We used Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry with Direct Infusion to reveal that dozens of host metabolic pathways are affected by Salmonella in a murine infection model. In particular, multiple host hormone pathways are disrupted. Our results identify unappreciated effects of infection on host metabolism and shed light on mechanisms used by Salmonella to cause disease, and by the host to counter infection. Female C57BL/6 mice were infected with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 cells by oral gavage. Feces and livers were collected and metabolites extracted using acetonitrile. For experiments with feces, samples were collected from 4 mice before and after infection. For liver experiments, 11 uninfected and 11 infected mice were used. Samples were combined into 3 groups of 3-4 mice each, resulting in the analysis of 3 group samples of uninfected and 3 of infected mice. Extracts were infused into a 12-T Apex-Qe hybrid quadrupole-FT-ICR mass spectrometer equipped with an Apollo II electrospray ionization source, a quadrupole mass filter and a hexapole collision cell. Raw mass spectrometry data were processed as described elsewhere (Han et al. 2008. Metabolomics. 4:128-140 [PMID 19081807]). To identify differences in metabolite composition between uninfected and infected samples, we filtered the list of masses for metabolites which were present on one set of samples but not the other. Additionally, we calculated the ratios between averaged intensities of metabolites from uninfected and infected mice. To assign possible metabolite identities, monoisotopic neutral masses of interest were queried against MassTrix (http://masstrix.org). Masses were searched against the Mus musculus database within a mass error of 3 ppm. Data were analyzed by unpaired t tests with 95% confidence intervals.
