Gene expression data from F. tularensis-exposed neutrophils

ABSTRACT: We demonstrated recently that both constitutive and FAS-triggered apoptosis of human neutrophils are profoundly impaired by Francisella tularensis, but how this is achieved is largely unknown. To test the hypothesis that changes in neutrophil gene expression contribute to this phenotype, we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to identify differentially regulated genes in cells infected with F. tularensis strain LVS compared with uninfected controls. In order to examine the effect of F. tularensis on the neutrophil transcriptome, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with F. tularensis subsp. holarctica live vaccine strain (LVS).

In order to examine the effect of F. tularensis on the neutrophil transcriptome, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with F. tularensis subsp. holarctica live vaccine strain (LVS). Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Control and F. tularensis-exposed PMNs were incubated at 37C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours.

Prior infection with Type A Francisella tularensis antagonizes the pulmonary transcriptional response to an aerosolized TLR4 agonist

Project description:Prior aerosol exposure to F. tularensis subsp. tularensis, but not the live attenuated strain (LVS) of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica or F. novicida, significantly antagonized the transcriptional response in the lungs of infected mice exposed to aerosolized TLR4 ligand E. coli LPS.

Characterization of F. tularensis LVS outer membrane vesicles

Project description:Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacteria responsible for tularemia, a disease for which the high prevalence of failure and relapses is a main concern. Directed evolution experiments carried out in presence of antibiotics revealed that acquisition of fluoroquinolones (FQ) resistance was not exclusively related to mutations in DNA gyrase genes which are the first targets of these molecules. Here, using F. tularensis LVS as model, we investigated the role of FupA/B (Fer-Utilization Protein), whose possible contribution to FQ resistance was suggested by genomic analysis of resistant isolates. Using trans-complementation/mutagenesis approaches we definitely connected FupA/B expression to FQ sensitivity. Furthermore, we showed that the virulent strain F. tularensis subsp. tularensis SCHU S4, lacking the homologous FupA protein, exhibited a lower FQ susceptibility. Importantly, the deletion of this lipoprotein promoted an increased secretion of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic characterization of OMVs from LVS and LVS-∆fupA/B strains led to the identification of 801 proteins among which a subset of 23 proteins exhibited a differential abundance between OMVs from both strains and may therefore contribute to the observed increased FQ susceptibility. We finally demonstrated that OMVs are structural key elements of F. tularensis LVS biofilms providing protection against FQ. Taken together, these results showed that mutations targeting FupA/B contribute to antimicrobial resistance through quantitative and qualitative modulations of OMV biogenesis and biofilm formation, providing new basis for understanding and fighting against Francisella antibiotic resistance and/or persistence.

Immunological responses unique to virulent F. tularensis Schu4 in the mouse model of infection

Project description:Francisella tularensis is a category A select agent based on its infectivity and virulence but disease mechanisms in F. tularensis infection remain poorly understood. A murine pulmonary model of infection was therefore employed to characterize the host immune response to F. tularensis infection and to discern differences in responses to infection with the highly virulent Type A F. tularensis strain Schu4 and to the less virulent Type B live vaccine strain (LVS). Mice were infected intranasally with F. tularensis Schu4 or LVS and organ lesions were assessed 48 and 120 hours after infection. Experiments were also conducted to assess and compare the host immune response to infection using global transcriptional analysis. Mice were infected via low dose aerosol with F. tularensis Schu4 or LVS strains, and transcriptional response in the lungs and spleen was monitored using full mouse genome microarrays at 12, 24, 48, and 120 hours after infection. We found differential and temporal differences in expression of cytokine and chemokine genes, CD molecules, apoptosis, leukocytes and adhesion receptors, and immunological signaling between infection with Schu4 and LVS strains. The transcriptional differences coincided with marked differences in the timing and extent of organ lesions in mice infected with the LVS and Schu4 strains. Thus, these studies revealed both temporal and qualitative differences in the host immune response to infection with virulent F. tularensis Schu4 compared to infection with LVS.

Transcriptome sequencing Data sets for human epithelial cells response during Francisella Tularensis infection.

Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the host response of human epithelial cells during infection with Francisella Tularensis. For this purpose, A549 human epithelial cell line was infected with Francisella tularensis spp. holarctica strain LVS for different times of infection, in duplicates. At different times post infection (0.5/1/3/6/12/24 hours post infection) cells were harvested and total RNA was extracted. RNA-seq libraries were constructed and sequencing of 100bp paired-end was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system. Sequencing yielded about 22M reads per sample that were mapped to the human genome (Human: GRCh38) resulting with the identification of 21,066 transcripts. The expression of the infected samples was compared to mock sample, and RNA ratios were clustered using partitioning clustering. This approach allowed clustering of the cellular transcripts into 5 distinct classes based on similarities in temporal expression profiles. We next carried out GO term enrichment analysis for each of these five cluster. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of human epithelial response to Francisella tularensis infection, and provide a framework for comparative investigations of genes and mechanisms that may contribute to the infection.
