Carbon source competition within a wound can significantly influence infection progression.

ABSTRACT: It is becoming increasingly apparent that commensal skin bacteria have an important role in wound healing and infection progression. However, the precise mechanisms underpinning many of these probiotic interactions remain to be fully uncovered. In this work, we demonstrate that the common skin commensal Cutibacterium acnes can limit the pathogenicity of the prevalent wound pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vivo. We show that this impact on pathogenicity is independent of any effect on growth, but occurs through a significant down regulation of the Type Three Secretion System (T3SS), the primary toxin secretion system utilized by P. aeruginosa in eukaryotic infection. We also show a down regulation in glucose acquisition systems, a known regulator of the T3SS, suggesting that glucose availability in a wound can influence infection progression. This suggests that introducing carbon source competition within the wound microenvironment may be an effective way to prevent or limit wound infection.

The Fem system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa functions as an ExsA-regulated interspecies signaling pathway

Project description:Bacterial interspecies interactions shape the function and structural dynamics of microbial communities and affect disease progression of polymicrobial infections. Here, we present data suggesting that the FemA-FemR-FemI (Fem) cell surface signaling system in P. aeruginosa serves as an interspecies signaling pathway between P. aeruginosa and Mycobacterium species. The Fem system is regulated by the type three secretion system (T3SS) regulator ExsA. Fem system significantly influenced virulence factors in P. aeruginosa, including the quorum sensing systems, pyocyanin production, biofilm formation and the type six secretion systems (T6SSs). Our study using a Galleria mellonella infection model indicates femA deletion significantly increased the host survival rate while femI over-expression decreased it, demonstrating that the Fem system’s role in bacterial pathogenicity in vivo. We propose that the Fem system functions as an interspecies signaling pathway enabling P. aeruginosa to alter its behaviours in response to the presence of mycobacteria.

ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses of genomic regulators in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Regulatory networks including virulence-related transcriptional factors (TFs) determine bacterial pathogenicity in response to different environmental cues. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen of humans, recruits numerous TFs in quorum sensing (QS) system, type III secretion system (T3SS) and Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to mediate the pathogenicity. Although many virulence-related TFs have been illustrated individually, very little is known about their crosstalks and regulatory network. Here, based on chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq), we primarily focused on understanding the crosstalks of 20 virulence-related TFs, which led to construction of a virulence regulatory network named PAGnet (Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genomic integrated regulatory network), including 82 crosstalk targets. The PAGnet uncovered the intricate mechanism of virulence regulation and revealed master regulators in QS, T3SS and T6SS pathways. In particular, GacA and ExsA showed novel functions in QS and nitrogen metabolism. In addition, an online PAGnet platform was provided to analyze these TFs and more virulence factors. Taken together, the present study revealed the function-specific crosstalks of virulence regulatory network, which might provide new strategies for treating infections in P. aeruginosa in the future.

Expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 treated with phenylacetic acid

Project description:P. aeruginosa is known to cause acute cytotoxicity against various human and animal cells and tissues. We identified bacterial metabolite - phenylacetic acid (PAA) which acts as an inhibitory molecule counteracting its pathogenic infection. Microarray and genetic analyses were conducted to investigate the inhibitory mechanism of the identified inhibitor PAA on bacterial virulence. Microarray analysis revealed that treatment of P. aeruginosa with PAA down-regulated the transcriptional expression of type 3 secretion systems (T3SS) genes and related regulatory genes including rsmA and vfr, which were confirmed by transcriptional and translational analysis. Our findings present a new insight to the puzzle of high-cell-density-modulated virulence attenuation in P. aeruginosa and the regulatory mechanisms of T3SS which is associated with bacterial acute infection.

Pathogenic mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa wound infection in response to murine fascia

Project description:Wound infections are traditionally thought to occur when microbial burden exceeds the innate clearance capacity of host immune system. Here we introduce the idea that the wound environment itself plays a significant contributory role to wound infection. We developed a clinically relevant murine model of soft tissue infection to explore the role of activation of microbial virulence in response to tissue factors as a mechanism by which pathogenic bacteria cause wound infections. Mice underwent abdominal skin incision and light muscle injury with a crushing forceps versus skin incision alone followed by topical inoculation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa whole genome transcriptional profiling demonstrated that fascia induced the activation of multiple genes responsible for the synthesis of the iron scavenging protein pyochelin. Ex-vivo murine fascia homogenates were prepared and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MPAO1 was incubated with an inoculum of the fascia homogenate solution. Pseudomonas aeruginosa MPAO1 incubated under the same condtions without the homogenate was used as the control group. Three biological replicates in each group was used.

Whole-transcriptome microarray analysis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae CRAFRU 8.43 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 grown in apoplast-like conditions supplemented or not with kiwifruit or tomato extract

Project description:Purpose: The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Conlusion: the analysis revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions

Salmonella Typhimurium reprograms macrophage metabolism via T3SS effector SopE2 to promote intracellular replication and virulence

Project description:Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on serine synthesis are mediated by bacterial protein SopE2, a type III secretion system (T3SS) effector encoded in pathogenicity island SPI-1. The changes in host metabolism promote intracellular replication of S. Typhimurium via two mechanisms: decreased glucose levels lead to upregulated bacterial uptake of 2- and 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate (carbon sources), while increased pyruvate and lactate levels induce upregulation of another pathogenicity island, SPI-2, known to encode virulence factors. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of host glycolysis, activation of host serine synthesis, or deletion of either the bacterial transport or signal sensor systems for those host glycolytic intermediates impairs S. Typhimurium replication or virulence.

RNA-seq for PA4595

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important human pathogen which uses the type III secretion system 21 (T3SS) as a primary virulence factor to establish infections in humans. The results presented in this 22 report revealed that the ATP-binding protein PA4595 (named ArtR, a Regulator that is an ATP-activated 23 Repressor of T3SS) represses T3SS expression in P. aeruginosa. The expression of T3SS genes, 24 including exoS, exoY, exoT, exsCEBA and exsD-pscB-L, increased significantly when artR was 25 knockout. The effect of ArtR on ExsA is at the transcriptional level, not at the translational level. The 26 regulatory role and cytoplasm localization of ArtR suggest it belongs to the REG sub-family of 27 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family. Purified GST-tagged ArtR showed ATPase activity in vitro. The 28 conserved aspartate residues in the dual Walker B motifs prove to be essential for the regulatory 29 function of ArtR. The regulation of T3SS by ArtR is unique, which does not involve the known 30 GacS/A-RsmY/Z-RsmA-ExsA pathway or Vfr. This is the first REG subfamily of ATP-binding 31 cassette that is reported to regulate T3SS genes in bacteria. The results specify a novel player in the 32 regulatory networks of T3SS in P. aeruginosa.
