Epigenetic profiles of mouse splenic macrophages responding to a Protein-Free Vaccine that Induces Trained Immunity and Protects against Nosocomial Pathogens

ABSTRACT: Traditional vaccines are difficult to deploy against the diverse antibiotic-resistant, nosocomial pathogens that cause Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). We developed a unique, protein-free vaccine to present antibiotic-resistant HAIs. This vaccine protected mice from invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Rhizopus delemar, and Candida albicans. Protection persisted even in neutropenic mice infected with A. baumannii or R. delemar. Protection was already apparent after 24 hours and lasted for up to 21 days after a single dose, with a second dose restoring efficacy. Protection persisted without lymphocytes but was abrogated with macrophages depletion. This vaccine induced trained immunity by altering the macrophage epigenetic landscape and the inflammatory response to infection.

A Subtractive Proteomics Approach for the Identification of Immunodominant Acinetobacter baumannii Vaccine Candidate Proteins

Project description:Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most dangerous multidrug-resistant pathogens worldwide. Currently, 50-70% of clinical isolates of A. baumannii are extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and available antibiotic options against A. baumannii infections are limited. There are still needs to discover specific de facto bacterial antigenic proteins that could be effective vaccine candidates in human infection. With the growth of research in recent years, several candidate molecules have been identified for vaccine development. So far, there is no public health authorities approved vaccine against A. baumannii. Methods: The purpose of this study was to identify immunodominant vaccine candidate proteins that can be immunoprecipitated specifically with patients’ IgGs. Relaying on hypothesis that IgGs of infected person have capacity to capture immunodominant bacterial proteins. Herein, outer membrane and secreted proteins of sensitive and drug resistant A. baumannii were captured by using IgGs obtained from patient and healthy control sera and were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis. Results: By using subtractive proteomic approach, we determined 34 unique proteins which were captured only in drug-resistant A. baumannii strain via patient sera. After extensive evaluation of predicted epitope regions, solubility, membrane transverse characteristics, and structural properties, we selected several notable vaccine candidates. Conclusion: We identified vaccine candidate proteins that triggered de facto response of human immune system against the antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii. Precipitation of bacterial proteins via patient immunoglobulins was a novel approach to identify the proteins which have potential to trigger to response in patient immune system.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of A. baumannnii MS14413 treated with PBT2, zinc and tetracycline

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii causes high mortality in ventilator-associated pneumonia patients and antibiotic treatment is compromised in multi-drug resistant strains resistant to beta-lactams, carbapenems, cephalosporins, polymyxins and tetracyclines. Among COVID-19 patients receiving ventilator support, multi-drug resistant A. baumannii secondary infection is associated with a two-fold increase in mortality. Here we investigated the use of the 8-hydroxyquinoline ionophore PBT2 to break resistance of A. baumannii to tetracycline class antibiotics.

Transcriptomics analysis reveals the molecular mechanisms of the antibacterial activity of gallium nitrate against Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from bloodstream infections

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the antibacterial effect and molecular mechanism of gallium nitrate [Ga(NO 3 ) 3 ] against Acinetobacter baumannii from bloodstream infection. Methods: A total of 40 A. baumannii with different antimicrobials susceptibility patterns were isolated from bloodstream infections. In vitro antibacterial effect of Ga(NO 3 ) 3 was analyzed by micro-dilution method and time-kill assay. The effect of ferric chloride/heme on the antibacterial effect of Ga(NO 3 ) 3 was evaluated. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to elucidate the antibacterial mechanism of gallium nitrate. Mouse infection model was conducted to explore the in vivo efficacy of gallium nitrate . Results: Ga(NO 3 ) 3 exhibited excellent antibacterial effect in RPMI 1 640 medium containing 10% human serum (MICs ranged from 0.06 μg/mL to 0.125 μg/mL), whereas its antibacterial effect was weakened by exogenous ferric chloride/heme. Ga(NO 3 ) 3 inhibited A. baumannii growth in a dose- and time- dependent manner. Ga(NO 3 ) 3 exerted antibacterial effect by up-regulating the expression of genes associated with biosynthesis and transport of siderophore and disrupting multiple iron dependent metabolism processes. Ga(NO 3 ) 3 significantly reduced bacterial load in the neutropenic mouse thigh infection model. Conclusions: This study revealed that Ga(NO 3 ) 3 had excellent antibacterial activity both in vivo and in vitro . It might be a potential drug for treating bloodstream infections of A. baumannii

Chemoproteomics with a Diaryliodonium Probe in Bacteria

Project description:The alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will soon limit treatment options for even routine infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii. Here, we report a two-pronged approach to identify new vulnerabilities in such pathogens. Staring from diphenyleneiodonium (dPI) salts, which are compounds that have moderate antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive pathogens, we synthesized a focused heterocyclic library and report a new analogue that has much higher inhibitory potency against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and excellent efficacy in reduction of bacterial burden in a mouse neutropenic thigh infection model. The lead compound was also found to synergize with aminoglycosides, which are routinely used in the treatment of such infections in humans. Further, we synthesized an alkyne containing probe and using gel and mass spectrometry base chemoproteomics platforms, we identified proteins that have redox cofactors as putative targets for this class of compounds. Additionally, we also demonstrate that the modification of proteins is covalent and through a cysteine residue. Together, using complementary chemical biology approaches, new vulnerabilities in Gram-negative pathogens were identified that would help address a burgeoning global problem of AMR.

Correlative proteomics identify the key roles of stress tolerance strategies in Acinetobacter baumannii in response to polymyxin and macrophages

Project description:Opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses stress tolerance strategies against host innate immunity and antibiotic killing. However, how the host-pathogen-antibiotic interaction affects the overall molecular regulation of pro- and anti-pathogenic machineries remains unexplored. Here, we simultaneously investigate proteomic changes in A. baumannii and macrophages following infection in the absence or presence of the last-line polymyxins. We discover that macrophages and polymyxins exhibit complementary effects to disarm several A. baumannii stress tolerance and survival strategies, including oxidative stress resistance, copper tolerance, bacterial iron acquisition and stringent response regulation systems. Using bacterial mutants with impaired stringent response associated (p)ppGpp synthetase/hydrolase spoT we demonstrate that spot mutants exhibit significantly enhanced susceptibility to polymyxin killing and reduced in vivo survivability compared to the wild-type strain. Together, our findings highlight that improved understanding of host-pathogen-antibiotic interplay is critical for optimisation of antibiotic use in patients and discovery of new antibiotics to tackle multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

DksA acts as a transcriptional switch in stress and virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:Ability to redirect limiting cellular resources accurately is key to bacteria for surviving in harsh environments that they often encounter during their lifetime. DksA, a transcriptional initiating factor, plays critical roles in regulating stress responses and antibiotic tolerance. Acinetobacter baumannii has become a major healthcare threat and responsible for both nosocomial and community acquired deadly infections worldwide. Yet, little is known about the role of DksA in A. baumannii. Here we describe a highly pleiotropic nature of DksA that it helps redirect the key metabolic pathways associated with the respiration, energy production, protein biosynthesis. Inhibition of ribosomal RNAs, ATP production by DksA is detrimental to bacteria under bacteriostatic stresses such as copper and trimethoprim. By contrast, it is required for survival in stresses that generate reactive-oxygen species such as zinc and gentamycin. Bacteria lacking DksA exhibit increase sensitivity to human serum, promote biofilm formation and capsule production. Not only does DksA show diverse phenotypes in vitro, but it also impacted on virulence in a niche specific manner during in vivo Galleria mellonella and murine infections. Our data collectively provides the detailed insight into the role of DksA in stress protection and virulence in A. baumannii and layout a roadmap for similar findings in other clinically important pathogens.

In vivo protein interaction network analysis reveals porin-localized toxin inactivation in antibiotic resistant bacteria

Project description:The nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is a frequent cause of hospital acquired infections worldwide, and a challenge for treatment due to its evolved resistance to antibiotics, including carbapenems. To gain insight on A. baumannii antibiotic resistance mechanisms, we analyzed the protein interaction network of a multidrug-resistant A. baumannii clinical strain Ab5075. Using in vivo chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry, we identified 2,068 non-redundant cross-linked peptide pairs containing 245 intra- and 398 inter- molecular interactions. Outer membrane proteins OmpA and YiaD, and carbapenemase Oxa-23 are hubs of the identified interaction network. Eighteen novel interactors of Oxa-23 were identified. Interactions of Oxa-23 with outer membrane porins OmpA and CarO were verified with co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Furthermore, transposon mutagenesis of oxa-23 or interactors of Oxa-23 demonstrated changes in meropenem or imipenem sensitivity in Ab5075. These results provide the first view of a porin-localized toxin inactivation model and increase understanding of bacterial antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Transcriptional response of Acinetobacter baumannii to hydrogen peroxide and role of mumR and oxyR in regulating this response

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes multiple infections, including pneumonia, bacteremia, and wound infections. Due to multiple intrinsic and acquired drug-resistance mechanisms, A. baumannii isolates are commonly multi-drug resistant and infections are notoriously difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to identify mechanisms used by A. baumannii to survive stresses encountered during infection as a means of identifying new drug targets. In this study, we determined the transcriptional response of A. baumannii to hydrogen peroxide stress using RNASequencing. Upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, A. baumannii differentially transcribes several hundred genes. In this study, we also determined the transcriptional profile of A. baumannii strains with the transcriptional regulators mumR or oxyR genetically inactivated and identified transcriptional differences between these strains and wild-type A. baumannii in response to hydrogen peroxide stress. In doing this, the function of A. baumannii OxyR in hydrogen peroxide stress resistance and regulation of genes required for hydrogen peroxide detoxification was defined. Moreover, the contribution of the uncharacterized regulator MumR to hydrogen peroxide stress resistance was also explored. This work reveals the transcriptome of an important human pathogen in the presence of hydrogen peroxide stress.
