Penicillium marneffei: Gene expression profiling during the dimorphic switch

ABSTRACT: Penicillium marneffei (Talaromyces marneffei) is an opportunistic human pathogen that can grow in a multicellular hyphal form at 25°C or a unicellular fission yeast form at 37°C, and can switch between these two forms in response to temperature. The yeast form is found in infected individuals and represents the pathogenic phase. In response to specific environmental cues, the hyphal form can undergo asexual development (conidiation) the produce a differentiated multicellular structure called a conidiophore which produces dormant spores (conidia). Inhaled conidia initiate infection. To identify genes that are important during the early stages in the transition from hyphal to yeast and yeast to hyphal cells transcriptional profiling was performed with a custom microarray consisting of ~42% of the predicted P. marneffei genes and RNA from P. marneffei hyphal cells switched to growth at 37°C for 6 hours (hyphal-yeast switch) and yeast cells switched to growth at 25°C for 6 hours (yeast-hyphal switch).

Penicillium marneffei: Gene expression profiling during the dimorphic switch

Project description:Penicillium marneffei (Talaromyces marneffei) is an opportunistic human pathogen that can grow in a multicellular hyphal form at 25M-BM-0C or a unicellular fission yeast form at 37M-BM-0C, and can switch between these two forms in response to temperature. The yeast form is found in infected individuals and represents the pathogenic phase. In response to specific environmental cues, the hyphal form can undergo asexual development (conidiation) the produce a differentiated multicellular structure called a conidiophore which produces dormant spores (conidia). Inhaled conidia initiate infection. To identify genes that are important during the early stages in the transition from hyphal to yeast and yeast to hyphal cells transcriptional profiling was performed with a custom microarray consisting of ~42% of the predicted P. marneffei genes and RNA from P. marneffei hyphal cells switched to growth at 37M-BM-0C for 6 hours (hyphal-yeast switch) and yeast cells switched to growth at 25M-BM-0C for 6 hours (yeast-hyphal switch). A custom microarray consisting of short, random genomic fragments from P. marneffei (~42% of the predicted genes) was generated using PCR products of the inserts from two independent DNA libraries constructed from genomic DNA of the P. marneffei type strain FRR2161. PCR products from previously cloned P. marneffei genes with known expression profiles were included as controls on the microarray. Total RNA from hyphal cells before and after switching to growth at 37M-BM-0C for 6 hours (hyphal-yeast switch) and yeast cells before and after switching to growth at 25M-BM-0C for 6 hours (yeast-hyphal switch) were used in pairwise combinations on the microarrays. Three biological replicate cultures were prepared for each experiment.

Penicillium marneffei: Gene expression profiling of hyphal and yeast cells and during conidiation

Project description:Penicillium marneffei (Talaromyces marneffei) is an opportunistic human pathogen that can grow in a multicellular hyphal form at 25°C or a unicellular fission yeast form at 37°C, and can switch between these two forms in response to temperature.

In response to specific environmental cues, the hyphal form can undergo asexual development (conidiation) the produce a differentiated multicellular structure called a conidiophore which produces dormant spores (conidia). Inhaled conidia initiate infection. To identify genes that are ‘phase or cell-state specific’ transcriptional profiling was performed with a custom microarray consisting of ~42% of the predicted P. marneffei genes and RNA from P. marneffei hyphal, yeast and conidiation cell types.

RNA-seq of Talaromyces marneffei under mycelium and yeast conditions

Project description:Although many studies have focused on dimorphic switching, noncoding RNAs in Talaromyces marneffei have been neglected until now. rRNA depletion RNA-seq with or without RNase R treatment were performed in mycelium and yeast conditions of Talaromyces marneffei by to unveil the functions of circRNAs in dimorphic switching.

Excavation of biomarker candidates for the diagnosis of Talaromyces marneffei infection via genome-wide prediction and functional annotation of secreted proteins

Project description:Talaromyces marneffei is the third most common infectious pathogen in AIDS patients and leads to the highest death rate in Guangxi, China. The lack of reliable biomarkers is one of the major obstacles in current clinical diagnosis, which largely contributes to this high mortality. Here, we present a study that aimed at identifying diagnostic biomarker candidates through genome-wide prediction and functional annotation of Talaromyces marneffei secreted proteins. A total of 584 secreted proteins then emerged, including 382 classical and 202 non-classical ones. Among them, 87 newly obtained functional annotations in this study. The annotated proteins were further evaluated by combining RNA profiling and homology comparison. Three proteins were ultimately highlighted as biomarker candidates with robust expression and remarkable specificity. The predicted phosphoinositide phospholipase C and the galactomannoprotein were suggested playing an interactive immune game though metabolism of arachidonic acid. And therefore, they hold promises in developing new tools for clinical diagnosis of Talaromyces marneffei, possibly also serve as molecular targets of future therapy.

RNA-Seq analysis of WT and BbWor1 disruption strain in beauveria bassiana

Project description:Wor1 is a conserved fungal regulatory protein that control the phenotypic switching and pathogenicity of Candida albicans.We simulated three models of Beauveria bassiana morphological transitions, including CTH (conidia to hyphae), HTC (hyphae to conidia) and BTB (blastospore to blastospore).We find that disruption of BbWor1 (an ortholog of Wor1) resulted in a distinct reduction in the time required for germination (CTH), a significant increase in hyphal growth and a decrease in the yield of conidia (HTC), indicating that BbWor1 positively controls conidia production and negatively regulates hyphal growth in conidia-hyphae switching. Meanwhile, the ΔBbWor1 prominently decreased blastospore yield, as well as shortening G0/G1 phase and prolonging G2/M phase, under the BTB model. Importantly, BbWor1 contributed to conidia-hyphae switching and blastospore propagation via different genetic pathways, and yeast one-hybrid testing demonstrated the necessity of BbWor1 to control the transcription of an allergen-like protein gene (BBA_02580), as well as a conidial wall protein gene (BBA_09998). Moreover, the dramatically weakened virulence of ΔBbWor1 was examined by immersion and injection methods.

Comparative transcriptomics of infectious spores from the fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum G217B

Project description:Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungal pathogen that infects both healthy and immunocompromised hosts. In endemic regions, H. capsulatum grows in the soil and causes respiratory and systemic disease when inhaled by humans. An interesting aspect of H. capsulatum biology is that it adopts specialized developmental programs in response to its environment. In the soil, it grows as filamentous chains of cells (mycelia) that produce asexual spores (conidia). When the soil is disrupted, conidia aerosolize and are inhaled by mammalian hosts. Inside a host, conidia germinate into yeast-form cells that colonize immune cells and cause disease. Despite the ability of conidia to initiate infection and disease, they have not been explored on a molecular level. Here we develop methods to purify H. capsulatum conidia and show that these cells germinate into either filaments at room temperature or into yeast-form cells at 37C. Conidia internalized by macrophages germinate into the yeast form and proliferate within the macrophages, ultimately lysing the host cells. Similarly, infection of mice with purified conidia is sufficient to establish infection and yield viable yeast-form cells in vivo. To characterize conidia on a molecular level, we perform whole-genome expression profiling of conidia, yeast, and mycelia from two highly diverged H. capsulatum strains. In parallel, we use homology and protein domain analysis to manually annotate the predicted genes of both strains. Analyses of the resultant data define sets of transcripts that reflect the unique molecular states of H. capsulatum conidia, yeast and mycelia. This series gives the results for the G217B strain.
