Bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing captures biofilm transcriptional heterogeneity and differential responses to immune pressure

ABSTRACT: Biofilm formation is an important mechanism of survival and persistence for many bacterial pathogens. These multicellular communities contain subpopulations of cells that display vast metabolic and transcriptional diversity along with high recalcitrance to antibiotics and host immune defenses. Investigating the complex heterogeneity within biofilm has been hindered by the lack of a sensitive and high-throughput method to assess stochastic transcriptional activity and regulation between bacterial subpopulations, which requires single-cell resolution. We have developed an optimized bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing method, BaSSSh-seq, to study Staphylococcus aureus diversity during biofilm growth and transcriptional adaptations following immune cell exposure.

RAINBOW-seq to capture the spatial transcriptome of bacterial biofilm

Project description:We developed a spatially resolved method to profile the spatial transcriptome of biofilm. In detail, we used fluorescent dyes to label the different regions of biofilm cultured in a microfluidic chip. After staining, the bacterial cells in biofilm were sorted into relevant bins according to their spatial information marked by the fluorescent pattern. Finally, miniBac-seq (RNA-seq) method was applied to capture the transcriptome of each bin.

BosR: a novel biofilm-specific regulator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Biofilms are the most common cause of bacterial infections in humans and notoriously hard to treat due to their ability to withstand antibiotics and host immune defenses. To overcome the current lack of effective antibiofilm therapies and guide future design, the identification of novel gene targets is crucial. In this regard, transcriptional regulators have been proposed as promising targets for antimicrobial drug design, since they simultaneously affect multiple genes, typically lack human orthologs, and can be inactivated by small molecules that prevent dimerization. Therefore, a Transposon insertion sequencing approach was employed to systematically identify regulatory genes phenotypically affecting biofilm growth in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. A screen of a pool of 300,000 transposon insertion mutants identified 349 genes involved in biofilm growth on hydroxy apatite, including 47 regulators. Detection of 19 regulatory genes participating in well-established biofilm pathways validated the results. An additional 28 novel prospective biofilm regulators suggested the requirement of multiple one-component transcriptional regulators. Defect phenotypes were confirmed for five one-component transcriptional regulators PA14_43720, PA14_56430, PA14_36180, arsR and merD as well as the protein kinase yeaG, which have not been implicated in biofilm growth before. Promisingly, the transcriptional regulator PA14_43720 displayed a conserved role in biofilm growth since its ortholog in P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 was also required for biofilm growth. Overall, our results highlighted that the gene network driving biofilm growth is complex and involves regulators beyond the primarily studied groups of two-component systems and cyclic diguanylate signaling proteins.

Selective labeling and eradication of antibiotic tolerant bacterial populations in pathogenic biofilms

Project description:Drug resistance and tolerance eliminate the therapeutic potential of antibiotics against pathogens. Antibiotic tolerance by bacterial biofilms often leads to persistent infections, but its mechanisms are unclear. To uncover antibiotic tolerance mechanisms in biofilms, we applied stable isotope labeling with amino acids (SILAC) proteomics to selectively label and compare proteomes of sensitive and tolerant subpopulations of biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards colistin, a 'last-resort' antibiotic against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Migration was essential in forming colistin-tolerant biofilm subpopulations, as colistin-tolerant cell-aggregates migrated with type IV pili, onto the top of killed biofilm. The colistin-tolerant cell-aggregates employed quorum sensing (QS) to initiate the formation of fresh colistin-tolerant subpopulations, highlighting multicellular behavior in antibiotic tolerance development. Erythromycin treatment which inhibits motility and QS, boosted biofilm eradication by colistin. This novel ‘-omics’ strategy to study antibiotic tolerant cells provides key insights for designing novel treatments against infections unsuppressed by conventional antimicrobials.

Expression profile for overproduction of DosP

Project description:Persister cells are a sub-population of all bacterial cultures which exhibit a non-inheritable, multi-drug tolerance when subjected to lethal antibiotic challenge. These persisters arise as a result of metabolic dormancy, and can resume growth subsequent to antibiotic challenge, leading to recalcitrance of bacterial infections. Overproduction of DosP, an oxygen sensing protein with phosphodiesterase activity, increases bacterial persistence. Here we performed a microarray to determine the expression profile induced by DosP as a means to elucidate mechanisms of persister cell formation. dosP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli K-12 BW25113 and compared to the empty vector.

Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation by gurmarin, a plant-derived cyclic peptide

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing various infections ranging from superficial skin infections to life-threatening severe diseases, including pneumonia and sepsis. This bacterium is attached to biotic and abiotic surfaces and forms biofilms that are resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents and clearance by host defenses. Infections associated with biofilms may result in longer hospitalizations, a need for surgery, and may even result in death. Agents that inhibit the formation of biofilms and virulence without affecting bacterial growth to avoid the development of drug resistance could be useful for therapeutic purposes. In this regard, we identified and isolated a small cyclic peptide, gurmarin, from a plant source that inhibited the formation of S. aureus biofilm without affecting the growth rate of the bacterium. We determined the gene expression of S. aureus biofilm treated with gurmarin and compared it to the untreated control biofilms. Differentially expressed genes were identified and their roles in the inhibition of S. aureus biofilms by gurmarin were analyzed.

Holliday junction resolvase RuvC targets biofilm eDNA to facilitate pathogen spread in plants

Project description:Biofilm lifestyle is critical for bacterial pathogens to colonize and protect themselves from host immunity and antimicrobial chemicals in plants and animals. The formation and regulation mechanism of phytobacterial biofilm are still obscure. Here, we found that Ralstonia solanacearum Resistance to ultraviolet C (RuvC) is highly abundant in biofilm and positively regulates pathogenicity by governing systemic movement in tomato xylem. RuvC protein accumulates at the later stage of biofilm and specifically targets the Holliday junction (HJ) like structures to disrupt biofilm extracellular DNA (eDNA) lattice, thus facilitating biofilm dispersal. Recombinant RuvC protein can resolve extracellular HJ prevent bacterial biofilm formation. Heterologous expression of R. solanacearum or Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae RuvC with plant secretion signal in tomato or rice confers resistance to bacterial wilt or bacterial blight disease, respectively. Plant chloroplast localized HJ resolvase monokaryotic chloroplast 1 (MOC1) which is structural similar to bacterial RuvC shows a strong inhibit effect on bacterial biofilm formation. Re-localization of SlMOC1 to apoplast in tomato roots leads to increase resistance to bacterial wilt. Our novel finding reveals a critical pathogenesis mechanism of R. solanacearum and provides an efficient biotechnology strategy to improve plant resistance to bacteria vascular disease.

Staphylococcus aureus surface LC-MS/MS analysis

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus causes treatment-resistant infections, to which biofilm formation and bacterial persistence contribute greatly. This study aims at the large-scale characterization of mechanisms behind its prolonged persistence in hostile environments and capability to evade host defenses. We carried out the analysis of surface-exposed proteins in S. aureus biofilms prepared from two types of inocula; metabolically active, levofloxacin-susceptible culture and stationary phase, levofloxacin-tolerant culture. Age-synchronized planktonic control cultures provided a reference to facilitate the identification of growth mode-specific surface-expression patterns.

Bacteria hijack a neuro-immune axis in meninges to facilitate brain invasion

Project description:The meninges are densely innervated by nociceptive sensory neurons that mediate pain and headache. How pain and neuro-immune interactions impact meningeal host defenses is unclear. Bacterial meningitis causes life-threatening infections of the meninges and central nervous system (CNS), affecting over one million people a year. Here we find that Nav1.8+ neuron signaling to immune cells in the meninges via the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) exacerbates bacterial meningitis. Nociceptor ablation reduced meningeal and brain invasion by two bacterial pathogens: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus agalactiae. S. pneumoniae activated nociceptors via Pneumolysin to release CGRP, which acts through its receptor RAMP1 on meningeal macrophages to inhibit chemokine expression, neutrophil recruitment and antimicrobial defenses. Macrophage-specific RAMP1 deficiency or blockade of RAMP1 signaling enhanced immune responses and bacterial clearance in meninges and brain. Therefore, targeting a neuro-immune axis in the meninges can enhance host defenses and may be a potential treatment for bacterial meningitis.
