Peptide YY: a Paneth cell antimicrobial peptide that maintains Candida gut commensalism.

ABSTRACT: The mammalian gut secretes a family of multifunctional peptides that affect appetite, intestinal secretions, and motility, while some regulate the microbiota. We report peptide YY (PYY1-36), but not endocrine PYY3-36, is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expressed by gut epithelial Paneth Cells (PC). PC-PYY has limited antibacterial activity, but shows selective activity against virulent hyphal, but not yeast forms, of Candida albicans. 5 PC-PYY is a cationic molecule that interacts with the anionic surfaces of fungal hyphae to cause membrane disruption and transcriptional reprogramming to maintain the yeast phenotype of the fungus. PC-PYY is packaged into secretory granules and is secreted into and retained by surface mucus, which optimizes PC-PYY activity. Hence, PC-PYY acts as a selective antifungal AMP that contributes to the maintenance of gut fungal commensalism.

Convergent evolution of peptide-based quorum sensing required for virulence in a eukaryotic pathogen

Project description:Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems are characterized by the regulated biogenesis and sensing of specialized signaling molecules. Here, we describe a peptide, Qsp1, secreted by the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Mutants lacking Qsp1 are attenuated for infection, pulmonary accumulation, and growth within macrophages. Qsp1 promotes density-dependent cell wall integrity and resistance to extreme environments. Qsp1 is also required for a secreted aspartyl protease activity required for virulence. Further biochemical and large-scale genetic investigations reveal that cleavage of Qsp1 from the C-terminal of a pro-peptide requires a cell-associated serine protease and Qsp1 sensing requires a predicted oligopeptide importer. Strikingly, these features closely mirror the hallmarks of a peptide-based QS system found in gram-positive bacteria, despite no ancestral relationship between individual components. Our studies thus reveal a convergently evolved, peptide-based QS system required for the virulence of a fungal pathogen.

Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptides in Hermetia illucens in Response to Fungal Exposure

Project description:The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is important in antimicrobial peptides (AMP) research due to its exposure to diverse microbial environments. However, the impact of different fungal exposures on AMP abundance in H. illucens has not been thoroughly explored. Our study focused on basal conditions and interactions with three fungi: the non-pathogenic Candida tropicalis (isolated from larval gut), Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the pathogenic Beauveria bassiana. Using RNA-seq and LC-MS/MS, we found that under standard conditions, the majority of AMPs belonged to the Lysozyme, Cecropin, and Defensin classes, with Defensins exhibiting the highest quantification levels. Exposure to any of the fungi upregulated AMP gene expression, indicating immune activation. Notably, exposure to C. tropicalis and B. bassiana led to notable downregulation of AMPs in H. illucens larvae compared to S. cerevisiae, suggesting these fungi may suppress or modulate the host immune response to aid their survival and colonization. The immune response of H. illucens larvae revealed that S. cerevisiae and B. bassiana trigger similar AMP pathways, whereas C. tropicalis elicits a distinct response with upregulation of Defensins and Cecropins. Lysozymes, known for their antibacterial and antifungal activity, were upregulated in response to S. cerevisiae and B. bassiana, but downregulated with C. tropicalis, potentially facilitating fungal survival in the larvae’s gut. This suggests that C. tropicalis adapts to reduce immune pressure, while B. bassiana may suppress AMPs to persist. Understanding these mechanisms opens possibilities for leveraging AMPs in combating C. tropicalis, which is implicated in human diseases.

Next Generation Sequencing of wild type (WT) and K14 conditional Il9ra-/- mice ear epidermal cell layers

Project description:Complex interactions of keratinocytes with various cells like inflammatory cells and stromal cells contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory dermatoses. In proinflammatory cytokines mediating such ill settings, interleukin (IL)-9 plays a pathological role in inflammatory dermatoses. However, IL-9-related mechanisms in such diseases are still incompletely understood. In this study, we established tamoxifen-induced keratinocyte-specific IL-9 receptor alpha-chain-deficient mice (K14CRE/ERTIl9ra∆/∆ mice) to examine the role of IL-9 in multicellular interactions under the condition of chronic skin inflammation. Studies using an imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like model showed that K14CRE/ERTIl9ra∆/∆ mice significantly reduced the severity of dermatitis and mast cell infiltration compared to K14WTIl9rafl/fl mice as controls. The transcriptome analyses of psoriasis-like lesions showed that the level of peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (Pyy), a member of neuropeptide Y family, was markedly downregulated in K14CRE/ERTIl9ra∆/∆ epidermis. Blockade of Pyy suppressed thickening of the epidermis and mast cell number in imiquimod-treated wild-type mice. Together with in vitro studies indicating a capacity of Pyy to induce IL-9 production and chemotactic activity of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs), these suggest that Pyy-mediated interplay of keratinocytes and mast cells induces psoriasiform inflammation. Further investigation focusing on the IL-9-Pyy axis would provide a new modality for treatment of chronic inflammatory dermatoses.

RNA-seq analysis of the fungal mycelium of the plant pathogen Pyricularia oryzae treated with and antimicrobial peptide analog of a Trichoderma peptaibol

Project description:We aimed at investigating the mode of action of an antimicrobial peptide analog of a Trichoderma peptaibol. Conidia of P. oryzae (IT10 strain) were cultured in Complete Medium at a final concentration of 2x105 conidia per mL for 3 days at 30 °C under shaking at 150 rpm. After three days, 50 µM of the Peptide 4rink were added to samples containing actively growing mycelium. Untreated samples were used as control. Three h after peptide treatment, fungal mycelia were collected, filtered with 100 µm Cell Strainer (Corning®), rinsed with sterile water and stored at -80 °C for RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted with the RNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions, performing the DNase digestion directly on the column. The integrity and concentration of the RNA samples were checked with Qubit fluorimeter and Bioanalyzer. RNA samples with RIN values < 7 were discarded. Four biological replicates of each treatment were submitted to RNA sequencing and analysis at CRIBI Biotechnology Center (University of Padova). Two µg of total RNA were subjected to PolyA tail capture and rRNA depletion for selection of mRNA. Directional (stranded) RNA libraries were prepared, quantified and subjected to quality control. Sequencing was performed on Illumina Nova Seq 6000 platform. Twenty million reads were produced for each sample and checked for quality control. Based on our RNA-seq data, the molecular mechanisms of the fungicidal activity of these peptide analogs appear to be related to their ability to cause cell wall and membrane damages and to induce autophagic cell death in fungal cells. This is the first transcriptomic analysis on a fungus treated with peptaibol analogs.

A Short Peptide Protects from Age-Onset Proteotoxicity

Project description:Aberrant protein aggregation jeopardize cellular functionality and underlies the development of a myriad of late-onset maladies including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Huntington’s disease (HD). Accordingly, molecules that mitigate the toxicity of hazardous protein aggregates are of great interest as potential future therapeutics. Here we asked whether a small peptide, composed of five amino acids (5MER peptide) that was derived from the human pro-inflammatory CD44, could protect model nematodes from the toxicity of aggregative proteins that underlie the development of neurodegenerative disorders in humans. We found that the 5MER peptide mitigates the toxicity that stems from both, the AD-causing Aβ peptide and a stretch of poly-glutamine that is accountable to the development of several disorders including HD, without affecting lifespan. This protection was dependent on the activity of the aging-regulating transcription factors and associated with enhanced Aβ and polyQ35-YFP aggregation. A transcriptomic analysis unveiled that the peptide modulates the expression of various genes including these which are known as protein homeostasis (proteostasis) regulators such as txt-13, and modifiers of proteasome activity. The knockdown of txt-13 protects worms from proteotoxicity to the same extent as the 5MER peptide, suggesting that the peptide activates the transcellular chaperone signaling to promote proteostasis. Together, our results propose that the 5MER peptide should be considered as a component of future therapeutic cocktails for the treatment of neurodegenerative maladies.
