Project description:During initial colonization of the airways, MAH form microaggregates composed of 3-20 bacteria on human respiratory epithelial cells, which provides an environment for phenotypic changes leading to efficient mucosal invasion. DNA microarray was employed to identify genes associated with the microaggregate phenotype. Bacteria were incubated with Hep-2 epithelial cells for 24 hrs to form microaggregates or incubated in tissue culture media alone as the control (planktonic bacteria). Bacterial RNA was isolated, purified using MicrobeEnrich, and amplified using Abmbion's Bacterial MessageAMP kit. RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix custom made mycobacterium avium 104 microarrays

Project description:Acute respiratory infections (ARI), which generally begin with colonization of the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract (URT), are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality with the highest rate in infants. As a common colonizer of the URT, and one of the most prevalent causes of life-threatening infections in the pediatric population, Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) was used as a model pathogen to investigate the effect of age during URT infection. We used RNA-sequencing to transcriptionally profile and compare the mucosal epithelia of infant and adult mice at baseline (mock-infected) and during Spn infection. Analysis of the screen revealed an age-dependent alteration of genes involved in mucosal defense mechanisms that included dampened expression of ubiquitous antimicrobial molecules and tight junction proteins in infant mice compared to adults. These results demonstrate a window of vulnerability during postnatal development when altered mucosal barrier function may facilitate bacterial colonization and invasion.

Project description:Airway epithelial cells represent the first line of defense against respiratory pathogens. Flagellin drives the motility of many mucosal pathogens and has been suggested as an immune enhancing adjunctive therapeutic in infections of the airways. This study leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing to determine cell-specific effects of flagellin in primary human bronchial epithelial cells growing in air-liquid interface. Seven cell clusters were identified, including ciliated cells, ionocytes and several states of basal and secretory cells, of which only inflammatory basal cells and inflammatory secretory cells demonstrated a proportional increase in response to flagellin. Inflammatory secretory cells showed evidence of metabolic reprogramming toward aerobic glycolysis, whilst in inflammatory basal cells transcriptome profiles indicated enhanced oxidative phosphorylation. Inhibition of mTOR prevented the shift to glycolysis and reduced inflammatory gene transcription specifically in inflammatory secretory cells. This data demonstrates the functional heterogeneity of the human airway epithelium upon exposure to flagellin.

Project description:Chronic infection of the lungs by bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa plays an important role in the natural history of Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Altered mucin secretions and glycosylations are hallmarks of bacterial infections but their exact contributions to the development of chronic infection and/or inflammation remain to be established. We studied the lung environment in newborn CFTR-/- pigs, which closely mirrors the human CF phenotype at the levels of mucin glycosylation, mucociliary transport (MCT) and immune response to P. aeruginosa infections. We show an increased sialylation of mucins from the tracheal mucosa of CFTR-/- pigs, which is also associated to increased Pseudomonas aeruginosa adherence. RNA-seq analysis did not show any altered expression of inflammatory genes, nor of sialylation enzymes. CFTR-/- piglets were unable to clear P. aeruginosa from the airways, leading to increased bacteria time of residence in the airways. We propose that alterations in mucin sialylation and MCT directly contribute to the early development of a favorable environment for bacterial colonization of the CF airways in the absence of an intrinsic inflammation.

Project description:The enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infects humans and animals. Invasion of intestinal epithelial cells is an important step in gut colonization. Both the Salmonella invasion-associated Type III Secretion System 1 (T3SS1) and motility are required for efficient invasion. The master regulator HilD induces expression of T3SS1 and flagella genes, thus coordinating expression of invasion and motility. Here we show that HilD also induces smooth swimming and that this is important for invasion of epithelial cells, in vitro and in vivo. HilD-induced bacteria express the chemotaxis receptor McpC, which suppresses tumbling and increases smooth swimming, even in the absence of exogenous ligands. mcpC is repressed by H-NS binding, which can be displaced by HilD. This is the first time that bacteria have been shown to use the smooth swimming phenotype in order to optimize invasion.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization in the upper respiratory tract is linked to pneumococcal disease development, predominantly affecting young children and older adults. As the global population ages and comorbidities increase, there is a heightened concern about this infection. We investigated the immunological responses of older adults to pneumococcal controlled human infection by analysing the cellular composition and gene expression in the nasal mucosa. Our comparative analysis with data from a concurrent study in younger adults revealed distinct gene expression patterns in older individuals susceptible to colonization, highlighted by neutrophil activation and elevated levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10. Unlike younger adults challenged with pneumococcus, older adults did not show recruitment of monocytes into the nasal mucosa following nasal colonization. However, older adults who were protected from colonization showed increased degranulation of CD8+ T cells, both before and after pneumococcal challenge. These findings suggest age-associated cellular changes, in particular enhanced mucosal inflammation, that may predispose older adults to pneumococcal colonization.

Project description:The large-scale application of genomic and metagenomic sequencing technologies has yielded a number of insights about the metabolic potential of symbiotic human gut microbes. Bacteria that colonize the mucosal layer that overlies the gut epithelium have access to highly-sulfated polysaccharides (i.e., mucin oligosaccharides and glycosaminoglycans), which they could potentially forage as nutrient sources. To be active, sulfatases must undergo a critical post-translational modification catalyzed in anaerobic bacteria by the AdoMet enzyme anSME (anaerobic Sulfatase-Maturating Enzyme). In the present study, we have tested the role of this pathway in the prominent gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, which possesses more predicted sulfatases (28) than in the human genome and a single predicted anSME. In vitro studies revealed that deletion of its anSME (BT0238) results in loss of sulfatase activity and impaired ability to use sulfated polysaccharides as carbon sources. Co-colonization of germ-free animals with both isogenic strains, or invasion experiments involving the introduction of one then the other strain, established that anSME activity and the sulfatases that are activated via this pathway, are important fitness factors for B. thetaiotaomicron, especially when mice are fed a simple sugar diet that requires this saccharolytic bacterium to adaptively forage on host glycans as nutrients. Whole genome transcriptional profiling of wild-type and the anSME mutant in vivo revealed that loss of this enzyme alters expression of genes involved in mucin utilization and that this disrupted ability to access mucosal glycans likely underlies the observed dramatic colonization defect. Comparative genomic analysis reveals that 100% of 46 fully sequenced human gut Bacteroidetes contain homologs of BT0238 and genes encoding sulfatases, suggesting that this is an important and evolutionarily conserved feature.
