Project description:NTHi infection of Normal Human Nasal Epithelia (NHNE) for 14 days
| PRJNA960846 | ENA
Project description:Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a commensal microorganism of the normal human nasopharyngeal flora, yet also an opportunistic pathogen of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Changes in gene expression patterns in response to host microenvironments are likely critical for survival. One such system of gene regulation is the ability to carefully regulate iron uptake. A central regulatory system that controls iron uptake, mediated by the ferric uptake regulator Fur, is present in multiple bacteria, including NTHi. Previous work has identified a small RNA, HrrF, that is Fur-regulated in NTHi 86-028NPrpsL.To understand the contribution made by HrrF to gene regulation in NTHi, hrrF was deleted in the NTHi strain 86-028NPrpsL∆fur. Using RNA-Seq, we identified protein-encoding genes whose expression was repressed or activated by HrrF.

Project description:NTHi bacteria or saline were inoculated into the middle ears of mice. Mice were sacrificed at various times to monitor the course of infection. We used Mouse430_2 arrays to profile gene expression in response to bacterial infection

Project description:The goal of this investigation was to establish proof of concept that nasal epithelium can be used as a proxy for the airway epithelium in studies of allergic asthma. We collected PBMCs, nasal epithelia, and bronchial epithelia from 12 subjects with allergic asthma and 12 control subjects without asthma, all non-Hispanic white nonsmoker adults. We conclude that genomic profiling of nasal epithelia captures most disease-relevant changes identified in airway epithelia but also provides additional targets that are most likely influenced by exposures. Thus, epigenetic marks in nasal epithelia may prove useful as a biomarker of disease severity and response to treatment or as a biosensor of the environment in asthma.

Project description:Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a pathobiont which chronically colonises the airway of individuals with chronic respiratory disease. It is unclear how NTHi persists in the airway, however accumulating evidence suggests that NTHi can invade and persist within macrophages. To better understand the mechanisms of NTHi persistence within macrophages, this work developed an in vitro model of NTHi intracellular persistence using human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Dual RNA Sequencing was used to assess MDM and NTHi transcriptomic regulation occurring simultaneously during NTHi persistence. This work demonstrates that NTHi can invade and persist within human macrophages. Macrophages activate innate immune responses, whereas NTHi persistence was facilitated by transcriptomic adaptations in bacterial metabolic, stress response and ribosome pathways. This research provides transcriptomic insights into NTHi-macrophage interactions, enhances our understanding of how NTHi can utilise host immune cells to chronically colonise the airway and identifies potential bacterial gene pathways that may be attractive therapeutic targets

Using RNA-Seq, we identified protein-encoding genes whose expression was repressed or activated by HrrF. These data comprise transcriptional anaylses of an rpsL mutant of 86-028NP, an isogenic fur mutant of 86-028NPrpsL, an isogenic fur mutant of 86-028NPrpsL also containing a full deletion of hrrF, and an isogenic fur mutant of 86-028NPrpsL also containing a deletion of only the 3' portion of hrrF. All strains were grown in defined medium containing 10 M-BM-5g/ml human hemoglobin to mid-log phase. Cells were then harvested and RNA extracted. A total of three biological replicates were generated for these analyses. Analysis of transcriptomes using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 of four strains of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae which include NTHi 86-028NPrpsL, NTHi 86-028NPrpsLM-bM-^HM-^Ffur, NTHi 86-028NPrpsLM-bM-^HM-^FfurM-bM-^HM-^FhrrF, and NTHi 86-028NPrpsLM-bM-^HM-^FfurM-bM-^HM-^FhrrF3' strains. For each strain three biological replicates were analyzed.
