Transcriptomic RNA-sequencing analysis of the hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile R20291 strain in response to trehalose

ABSTRACT: Clostridioides difficile, the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea worldwide, is a genetically diverse species which can metabolise a number of nutrient sources upon colonising a dysbiotic gut environment. Trehalose, a disaccharide sugar consisting of two glucose molecules bonded by an α 1,1-glycosidic bond, has been hypothesised to be involved in the emergence of C. difficile hypervirulence due to its increased utilisation by the RT027 and RT078 strains. Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we report the identification of a putative trehalose metabolism pathway which is induced during growth in trehalose: this has not been previously described within the C. difficile species. These data demonstrate the metabolic diversity exhibited by C. difficile which warrants further investigation to elucidate the molecular basis of trehalose metabolism within this important gut pathogen.

Gene expression dysregulation in whole blood of patients with C. difficile infection

Project description:Background: Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a global threat and has significant implications for individuals and health care systems. Little is known about host molecular mechanisms and transcriptional changes in peripheral immune cells. This is the first gene expression study in whole blood of patients with C. difficile infection. Methods: We took blood and stool samples from patients with toxigenic C. difficile infection (CDI), non-toxigenic C. difficile infection (GDH), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diarrhoea from other causes (DC) and healthy controls (HC). We performed transcriptome-wide RNA profiling on peripheral blood to identify diarrhoea common and CDI unique gene sets. Results: Diarrhoea groups upregulated innate immune responses with neutrophils at the epicentre. The common signature associated with diarrhoea was non-specific and shared by various other inflammatory conditions. CDI had a unique 45-gene set reflecting downregulation of humoral and T cell memory functions. Dysregulation of immunometabolic genes was also abundant and linked to immune cell fate during differentiation. Conclusions: Whole transcriptome analysis of white cells in blood from patients with toxigenic C. difficile infection showed that there is an impairment of adaptive immunity and immunometabolism.

Characterization of the trehalose utilization operon in Streptococcus mutans reveals that the TreR transcriptional regulator is involved in stress response pathways and toxin production

Project description:Streptococcus mutans, the organism most frequently associated with the development of dental caries, is able to utilize a diverse array of carbohydrates for energy metabolism. One such molecule is trehalose, a disaccharide common in human foods, which has recently been implicated in enhancing the virulence of epidemic strains of the pathogen, Clostridium difficile. In this study, deletion mutants of all three genes in the putative S. mutans trehalose utilization operon were characterized and shown to be required for wild-type levels of growth when trehalose was the only carbohydrate source provided. Interestingly, the TreR transcriptional regulator appeared to be critical for responding to oxidative stress, and for mounting a protective stress tolerance response following growth at moderately acidic pH. RNAseq of a treR deletion mutant suggested that in S. mutans, TreR acts as a trehalose-sensing activator of transcription of the tre operon, rather than a repressor, as described in other species. In addition, deletion of treR caused the down-regulation of a number of genes involved in genetic competence and bacteriocin production, supporting results of a recent study linking trehalose and the S. mutans competence pathways. Finally, deletion of treR compromised the ability of S. mutans to inhibit the growth of the competing species, Streptococcus gordonii and Lactococcus lactis. Taken together, this study solidifies the role of the S. mutans tre operon in trehalose utilization and suggests novel functions for the TreR regulator, including roles in stress response and competitive fitness.

Highly concentrated trehalose induces prohealing senescence-like state in fibroblasts via CDKN1A/p21

Project description:Trehalose is the nonreducing disaccharide of glucose, evolutionarily conserved in invertebrates. The living skin equivalent (LSE) is an organotypic coculture containing keratinocytes cultivated on fibroblast-populated dermal substitutes. We demonstrated that human primary fibroblasts treated with highly concentrated trehalose promote significantly extensive spread of the epidermal layer of LSE without any deleterious effects. The RNA-seq analysis of trehalose-treated 2D and 3D fibroblasts at early time points revealed the involvement of the CDKN1A pathway, the knockdown of which significantly suppressed the upregulation of DPT, ANGPT2, VEGFA, EREG, and FGF2. The trehalose-treated fibroblasts were positive for senescence-associated β-galactosidase. Finally, transplantation of the dermal substitute with trehalose-treated fibroblasts accelerated wound closure and increased capillary formation significantly in the experimental mouse wounds in vivo, which was canceled by the CDKN1A knockdown. These data indicate that high-concentration trehalose can induce the senescence-like state in fibroblasts via CDKN1A/p21, which may be therapeutically useful for optimal wound repair.

Comparative genomic hybridization of Clostridium difficile strains to identify markers of different ribotypes

Project description:Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) strains belonging to PCR ribotype 027, PFGE type NAP1, REA type B1 and toxinotype III, termed NAP1/027, have been implicated in the increased frequency of outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) in North America and Europe. The NAP1/027 strains appears to be more virulent with an increased mortality and frequency of relapse. Current European C. difficile microarrays are designed to the first sequenced and annotated C. difficile complete genome - strain 630 (ribotype 12). A high density oligonucleotide microarray was designed to C. difficile 630 (CD630) sequence and extra probes corresponding to two PCR ribotypes O27 strains C. difficile R20291 and QCD-32g58 were also included. Comparative genomic hybridisation was used to identify markers of ribotype 027 strains and markers to identify CD630. Strains hybridised to the array included the most prevalent ribotypes found in the UK and Europe (106 and 001) as well as the emerging hypervirulent ribotype 078.

Degradation-resistant trehalose analogues block utilization of trehalose by hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile.

Project description:Trehalose is used as an additive in thousands of foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products, and it is being investigated as a therapeutic for multiple human diseases. However, its ability to be used as a carbon source by microbes is a concern, as highlighted by the recent finding that trehalose can be metabolized by and potentially enhance the virulence of epidemic Clostridioides difficile. Here, we show that trehalose analogues designed to resist enzymatic degradation are incapable of being used as carbon sources by C. difficile. Furthermore, we demonstrate that trehalose analogues, but not the known trehalase inhibitor validamycin A, inhibit native trehalose utilization by hypervirulent C. difficile. Thus, degradation-resistant trehalose analogues are valuable as trehalase inhibitors and as surrogates for or co-additives with trehalose in applications where enzymatic breakdown is a concern.

Stress profile elicited by trehalose-6-phosphate accumulation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:The otsB2 gene encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase is essential for in vitro growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and required to establish an acute infection in mice. Essentiality of otsB2 is due to direct or indirect toxic effects associated with the substrate trehalose-6-phosphate that accumulates when OtsB2 gene expression is impaired. In order to gain insight into the molecular basis of trehalose-6-phosphate mediated toxic effects, whole genome transcriptome profiling was done using RNA-seq. A conditional otsB2 mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was generated by inserting an anhydrotetracycline-inducible promoter cassette upstream of the otsB2 start codon,and the transcriptome profile of a fully induced mutant resembling the wildtype phenotype was compared to that of a partially silenced mutant under conditions where 30% residual growth relative to the fully induced mutant was observed.

Exogenous butyrate inhibits butyrogenic metabolism and alters virulence phenotypes in Clostridioides difficile

Project description:The gut microbiome engenders colonization resistance against the diarrheal pathogen Clostridioides difficile but the molecular basis of this colonization resistance is incompletely understood. A prominent class of gut microbiome-produced metabolites important for colonization resistance against C. difficile is short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In particular, one SCFA (butyrate) decreases the fitness of C. difficile in vitro and is correlated with C. difficile-inhospitable gut environments, both in mice and in humans. Here, we demonstrate that butyrate-dependent growth inhibition in C. difficile occurs under conditions where C. difficile also produces butyrate as a metabolic end product. Furthermore, we show that exogenous butyrate is internalized into C. difficile cells and is incorporated into intracellular CoA pools where it is metabolized in a reverse (energetically unfavorable) direction to crotonyl-CoA and (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and/or 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. This internalization of butyrate and reverse metabolic flow of butyrogenic pathway(s) in C. difficile coincides with alterations in toxin release and sporulation. Together, this work highlights butyrate as a marker of a C. difficile inhospitable environment to which C. difficile responds by releasing its diarrheagenic toxins and producing environmentally-resistant spores necessary for transmission between hosts. These findings provide foundational data for understanding the molecular and genetic basis of how C. difficile growth is inhibited by butyrate and how butyrate alters C. difficile virulence in the face of a highly competitive and dynamic gut environment.
