Competitive Inhibition and Mutualistic Growth in Polymicrobial Infections: Deciphering Staphylococcus aureus – Acinetobacter baumannii Interaction Dynamics

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) and Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) are frequently co-isolated from polymicrobial infections that are severe and recalcitrant to therapy. Here, we apply a combination of wet-lab experiments and in silico modeling to unveil the intricate nature of the Ab/Sa interaction using both, representative laboratory strains and strains co-isolated from clinical samples. This comprehensive methodology allowed uncovering Sa's capability to exert a partial interference on Ab by the expression of phenol-soluble modulins. Additionally, we observed a cross-feeding mechanism, wherein Sa supports Ab's growth by providing acetoin as an alternative carbon source. This study marks the pioneering work to dissect Ab/Sa interaction dynamics wherein competitive and cooperative dynamics can intertwine. Through our findings, we illuminate the ecological mechanisms underpinning their coexistence in the context of polymicrobial infections. Our research not only enriches our understanding but also opens doors to potential therapeutic avenues in managing these challenging infections.

Ethylene and jasmonic acid act as negative modulators during mutualistic symbiosis between Laccaria bicolor and Populus roots

Project description:The Poplar transcriptome was analyzed in mycorrhizal root tips in contact with Laccaria bicolor for 2 weeks. During mycorrhization the roots were treated with either 250M-BM-5m ACC, 10nM JA or 500M-BM-5M SA and compared to untreated mycorrhiza or control roots without contact to L. bicolor. In addition the poplar mutants 35S::PttACO1 and 35S::Atetr1 were used We performed 27 hybridizations (NimbleGen) with samples derived from Populus tremula x Populus alba clone 717-1B4 control roots, untreated mycorrhiza, SA-treated mycorrhiza, ACC-treated mycorrhiza and JA-treated mycorrhiza (3 biological replicates each) as well as Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides T89 control roots, mycorrhiza, 35S::PttACO1 mycorrhiza and 35S::Atetr1-1 mycorrhiza (3 biological replicates). All samples were labeled with Cy3.

cRel sang

Project description:NF-kB is a transcriptional factor that consists in homo and heterodimers of the large family of Rel subunits. Among the most important functions for NF-kB, initiation of immunological/inflammatory responses and regulation of cell proliferation/apoptosis which are the major features of severe infections. Although the role of NF-kB is crucial in host defense against pathogens, mice deficient for individual subunits of NF-kB have not been explored in murine models of polymicrobial infection. In this report, we have investigated in vivo the consequences of cRel subunit deficiency in the survival to polymicrobial infection. We have also approached the underlying mechanisms of the host defense by analyzing cytokine production, bacterial clearance and the distribution of innate and adaptive immune cells. Absence of cRel enhances mice mortality to polymicrobial sepsis. The decreased survival of cRel-/- animals upon infection is not related to altered local mechanisms of innate defense such as the peritoneal recruitment of the Gr.1+CD11b+ phagocytic cells and the bacterial clearance. However, cRel deficiency allows to altered systemic cytokine response associated to sustained loss of the lymphoïd subset CD8a+ of spleen dendritic cells, key antigen-presenting cells for the initiation of the adaptive immunity. Genome-wide analysis of the systemic host response to polymicrobial sepsis reveals inflammatory/immune and apoptotic gene signatures associated to cRel subunit. In this study we identified the NF-kB member cRel, as a key factor which plays a critical role in survival to polymicrobial sepsis and also as a regulatory transcription subunit controlling the inflammatory and the adaptive immune responses in severe infection.

Controlling therapeutic protein expression via inhalation of a butter flavor molecule

Project description:Precise control of the delivery of therapeutic proteins is critical for gene- and cell-based therapies, and expression should only be switched on in the presence of a specific trigger signal of appropriate magnitude. Focusing on the advantages of delivering the trigger by inhalation, we have developed a mammalian synthetic gene switch that enables regulation of transgene expression by exposure to the semi-volatile small molecule acetoin, a widely used, FDA-approved food flavor additive. The gene switch capitalizes on the bacterial regulatory protein AcoR fused to a mammalian transactivator, which binds to promoter regions with specific DNA sequences in the presence of acetoin and dose-dependently activates expression of downstream transgenes. Wild-type mice implanted with alginate-encapsulated cells transgenic for the acetoin gene switch showed a dose-dependent increase in blood levels of reporter protein in response to either administration of acetoin solution via oral gavage or longer exposure to acetoin aerosol generated by a commercial portable inhaler. Intake of typical acetoin-containing foods, such as butter, lychees and cheese, did not activate transgene expression. As a proof of concept, we show that blood glucose levels were normalized by acetoin aerosol inhalation in type-I diabetic mice implanted with acetoin-responsive insulin-producing cells. Delivery of trigger molecules using portable inhalers may facilitate regular administration of therapeutic proteins via next-generation cell-based therapies to treat chronic diseases for which frequent dosing is required.
