Acclimation of the Escherichia coli transcriptome after 10 hours of incubation in the presence of gallium nitrate at sublethal levels.

ABSTRACT: Gallium nitrate has been explored as an FDA-approved alternative to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Questions remain as it relates to the full-systems response elicited to counteract its toxic effects. We explored the transcriptomic response profile of Escherichia coli K12 BW25113 when challenged to grow planktonically for 10 hours in the presence of a sublethal concentration of gallium nitrate (1.25 mM, 319.6 µg/mL). Our results yielded significant changes in gene expresson levels: 581 genes were up-regulated, while 791 were down-regulated in our gallium nitrate treatment. Several biological processes became dysregulated to cope with the presence of this metal stressor, including iron homeostasis, sulfate metabolism, oxidative and nitrosative stress response, cysteine biosynthesis, anaerobic respiration, toxin-antitoxin interactions, and DNA repair. Altogether, this work provides a valuable snapshot of how our indicator strain adapts to this metal-induced stress. This is a significant step in understanding how bacteria can adjust their physiology to coexist with sublethal concentrations of metal-based antimicrobials.

Sublethal Concentrations of Carbapenems Alter Cell Morphology and Genomic Expression of Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilms

Project description:K. pneumoniae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is normally associated with pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems. However, it is also a prevalent nosocomial infectious agent that can be found in infected surgical sites and combat wounds. Many of these clinical strains display multi-drug resistance. We have worked with a clinical strain of K. pneumoniae that was initially isolated from a wound of an injured soldier. This strain demonstrated resistance to many commonly used antibiotics, but sensitivity to carbapenems. This isolate was capable of forming biofilms in vitro, contributing to its increased antibiotic resistance and impaired clearance. We were interested in determining how sublethal concentrations of carbapenem treatment specifically affect K. pneumoniae biofilms both in morphology and genomic expression. Scanning electron microscopy showed striking morphological differences between untreated and treated biofilms, including rounding, blebbing, and dimpling of treated cells. Comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing technology identified a large number of open reading frames (ORFs) differentially regulated in response to carbapenem treatment at 2 and 24 hours. ORFs upregulated with carbapenem treatment included genes involved in resistance, antiporters, and autoinducers. ORFs downregulated included metal transporters, membrane biosynthesis proteins, and motility proteins. Quantitative real time PCR validated the general trend of some of these differentially regulated ORFs. Treating K. pneumoniae biofilms with sublethal concentrations of carbapenems induced a wide-range of phenotypic and gene expression changes. This study reveals some of the mechanisms underlying how sublethal amounts of carbapenems could affect the overall fitness and pathogenic potential of K. pneumoniae biofilm cells.

Spinetoram sublethal exposure stimulates Dengue virus replication in Aedes aegypti by dysregulating oxidative phosphorylation

Project description:Vector-borne diseases are closely linked to the environment by the ecology of the vectors and their hosts. Elucidating these causal relationships is one of the most pressing challenges faced by researchers and public health scientists as increasing anthropogenic alternations in the environment can drive shifts in vector-borne disease dynamics. However, as one of the major environmental stressors, the impact of sublethal exposure of insecticides on vector behavior remains poorly investigated. Here, we analyzed how sublethal exposure of the promising vector-control bioinsecticide spinetoram on Aedes aegypti larvae, the latest generation of the spinosyns that have been suggested as a promising new bioinsecticide for vector control, at the larval stage of Ae. aegypti alters adult performance and susceptibility to dengue virus (DENV) infection. While spinetoram sublethal exposure leads to extended immature development time, these survivors were significantly smaller and exhibited weaker blood-feeding capacity than normal females. More importantly, surviving females presented higher DENV susceptibility than the control group after spinetoram sublethal exposure on larvae. Mechanistically, the transcriptomic analysis showed that inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) may function in stimulating DENV production in adult Ae. aegypti. In vitro study revealed that spinetoram induces apoptosis via mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS)-regulated OXPHOS dysregulation in Aag2 cells, and thereby may stimulate DENV production through the metabolic switch between OXPHOS and glycolysis. Altogether, our data demonstrate that sublethal spinetoram exposure could act as a crucial factor on life traits and vector competence in Ae. aegypti. Given that other insecticides are known to induce mitochondrial dysfunction in mosquito vectors, this research may have wider implications.

Stress response in Escherichia coli following sublethal phenalene-1-one mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: an RNA-Seq study

Project description:Since the molecular mechanisms behind adaptation and the bacterial stress response toward antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) are not entirely clear yet, the aim of the present study was to investigate the transcriptomic stress response in Escherichia coli after sublethal treatment with aPDT using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Planktonic cultures of stationary phase E. coli were treated with aPDT using a sublethal dose of the photosensitizer SAPYR. After treatment, RNA was extracted, and RNA-Seq was performed on the Illumina NextSeq 500. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed and validated by qRT-PCR. The analysis of the differential gene expression following pathway enrichment analysis revealed a considerable number of genes and pathways significantly up- or down-regulated in E. coli after sublethal treatment with aPDT. Expression of 1018 genes was up-regulated and of 648 genes was down-regulated after sublethal treatment with aPDT as compared to irradiated controls. Analysis of differentially expressed genes and significantly de-regulated pathways showed regulation of genes involved in oxidative stress response and bacterial membrane damage. In conclusion, the results show a transcriptomic stress response in E. coli upon exposure to aPDT using SAPYR and give an insight into potential molecular mechanisms that may result in development of adaptation
