Project description:Candida spp. are commensal opportunistic fungal pathogens that often colonize and infect mucosal surfaces of the human body. Candida, along with other microbes in the microbiota, generally grow as biofilms in a polymicrobial environment. Due to the nature of cellular growth in a biofilm (such as production of a protective extracellular matrix) and the recalcitrance of biofilms, infections involving biofilms are very difficult to treat with antibiotics and perpetuate the cycle of infection. The two most commonly isolated Candida spp. from Candida infections are Candida albicans and Candida glabrata, and the presence of both of these species results in increased patient inflammation and overall biofilm formation. This work aims to investigate the interspecies interactions between C. albicans (Ca) and C. glabrata (Cg) in co-culture through transcriptome analysis over the course of biofilm growth. We report that during co-culture, lipid biosynthesis and transporter genes were significantly modulated in both Ca and Cg. Differentially expressed genes in Ca during co-culture growth included putative transporter genes (C2_02180W_A and C1_09210C_B; up-regulated), amino acid biosynthesis (ARO7; up-regulated most in Ca:Cg 1:3), and lipid-related genes (LIP3 and IPT1; down-regulated). Differentially expressed genes in Cg in co-culture included putative transmembrane transporters (CAGL0H03399g and CAGL0K04609g; up-regulated), an oxidative stress response gene (CAGL0E04114g; down-regulated most in Ca:Cg 1:3), genes involved in the TCA cycle (LYS12 and CAGL0J06402g; down-regulated), and several genes involved in cell wall/membrane biosynthesis (SEC53, GAS2, VIG9; down-regulated). Additionally, confocal microscopy was utilized for membrane lipid analysis between monoculture and co-culture biofilms. Through filipin-stained lipid analysis, we found that there was a significant increase in cell membrane lipid content in Ca:Cg 1:3 biofilms compared to Ca and Ca:Cg 3:1 biofilms. These results suggest substantial modifications of both cell wall, cell membrane, and transporters in both Ca and Cg during the time course of co-culture growth, which allows for increased biofilm formation and virulence in Candida co-culture biofilms.

Project description:M cells are the main site of bacterial translocation in the intestine. We used the in vitro M cell model to study the effect of the commensal bacteria; Lactobacillus salivarius, Eschericha coli and Bacteroides fragilis, on M cell gene expression. Bacterial translocation across the gut mucosa has traditionally been based on the detection of commensals in the mesenteric lymph node. Differential rates of commensal translocation have been reported in vivo, however fewer studies have examined translocation of commensals at the level of the gut epithelial M cell. In this study we employed an in vitro M cell model to quantify translocation of various bacteria. C2BBe1 cells were differentiated into M cells and the gene expression profile and transport kinetics of different bacterial strains, namely Lactobacillus salivarius, Escherichia coli, and Bacteroides fragilis, was assessed. For comparison with M cell uptake, the THP-1 monocytic cell line was used to analyze bacterial internalization and resulting cytokine production. The commensal bacterial strains were translocated across M cells with different efficiencies; E. coli and B. fragilis translocated with equal efficiency while L. salivarius translocated with less efficiency. In contrast, L. salivarius was internalized by THP-1 cells to a higher degree than B. fragilis or E. coli and was associated with a different cytokine profile. Microarray analysis showed both common and differential gene expression amongst the bacteria and control polystyrene beads. In the presence of bacteria, but not beads, upregulated genes were mainly involved in transcription regulation and dephosphorylation, e.g. EGR1, JUN; whereas proinflammatory and stress response genes were primarily upregulated by E. coli and B. fragilis, but not L. salivarius nor beads, e.g. IL8, TNFAIP3. These results demonstrate that M cells have the ability to discriminate between different commensal bacteria and modify subsequent immune responses. C2bbe1 cells were converted to M cells (C2M) following 21 days of culture on Transwells in the presence of Raji B cells. C2M cells were co-cultured alone, Lactobacillus salivarius, Eschericha coli, Bacteroides fragilis and control beads. Total RNA was extracted and processed for Affymetrix array hybridisation

Project description:To explain enhanced biofilm formation and increased dissemination of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms, microarrays were used to explore differential gene expression of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms. One sample from single species biofilm (S1) and mixed-species biofilm (SC2) were excluded from analyses for outliers. We observed upregulation (2.7%) and down regulation (6%) of S. epidermidis genes in mixed-species biofilms. Autolysis repressors lrgA and lrgB were down regulated 36-fold and 27-fold respectively and was associated with increased eDNA possibly due to enhanced autolysis in mixed-species biofilms. These data suggest that bacterial autolysis and release of eDNA in the biofilm matrix may be responsible for enhancement and dissemination of mixed-species biofilms of S. epidermidis and C. albicans. Staphylococcal gene expression in mixed-species biofilms with Candida and in single species biofilms of S. epidermidis were analyzed. The experiment was repeated thrice on 3 different days (3 biological replicates each for single species biofilms of S. epidermidis and mixed-species biofilms). Only 2 biological replicates were analyzed and one biological replicate was not analyzed (S1 and SC1 - raw data files are provided on the Series record). Single species biofilms of S. epidermidis (strain 1457) and C. albicans (strain 32354) and mixed-species biofilms were formed on 6-well tissue culture plates. Five ml of organism suspensions (O.D. 0.3, S. epidermidis 107 CFU/ml or C. albicans 105 CFU/ml) or 2.5 ml each for mixed-species biofilms for 24 hr. RNA was harvested from single species and mixed-species biofilms.

Project description:Abstract Background Chronic constipation is prevalent and involves both colon sensitivity and various changes in intestinal bacteria, particularly mucosa-associated microflora. Here we examined regulatory mechanisms of TRPV4 expression by co-culturing colon epithelial cell lines with intestinal bacteria and their derivatives. We also investigated TRPV4 expression in colon epithelium from patients with constipation. Methods Colon epithelial cell lines were co-cultured with various enterobacteria (bacterial components and supernatant), folate, LPS, or short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). TRPV4 expression levels and promoter DNA methylation were assessed using pyrosequencing, and microarray network analysis. For human samples, correlation coefficients were calculated and multiple regression analyses were used to examine the association between clinical background, rectal TRPV4 expression level and mucosa-associated microbiota. Results Co-culture of CCD841 cells with P. acnes, C. perfringens, or S. aureus transiently decreased TRPV4 expression but did not induce methylation. Co-culture with clinical isolates and standard strains of K. oxytoca, E. faecalis, or E. coli increased TRPV4 expression in CCD841 cells, and TRPV4 and TNF-alpha expression were increased by E. coli culture supernatants but not bacterial components. Although folate, LPS, IL-6, TNF-alpha, or SCFAs alone did not alter TRPV4 expression, TRPV4 expression following exposure to E. coli culture supernatants was inhibited by butyric acid or TNF-alphaR1 inhibitor and increased by p38 inhibitor. Microarray network analysis showed activation of TNF-alpha, cytokines, and NOD signaling. TRPV4 expression was higher in constipated patients from the terminal ileum to the colorectum, and multiple regression analyses showed that low stool frequency, frequency of defecation aids, and duration were associated with TRPV4 expression. Meanwhile, incomplete defecation, time required to defecate, and number of defecation failures per 24 hours were associated with increased E. faecalis frequency. Conclusions Colon epithelium cells had increased TRPV4 expression upon co-culture with K. oxytoca, E. faecalis, or E. coli supernatants, as well as TNFα-stimulated TNFαR1 expression via a pathway other than p38. Butyrate treatment suppressed this increase. Epithelial TRPV4 expression was increased in constipated patients, suggesting that TRPV4 together with increased frequency of E. faecalis may be involved in the pathogenesis of various constipation symptoms.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) exert a broad range of biological effects important in coordinating immune responses, which have classically been studied in the context of pathogen clearance. Yet, whether immunomodulatory bacteria operate through IFN pathways to support intestinal immune tolerance remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the commensal bacterium, Bacteroides fragilis, utilizes canonical antiviral pathways to modulate intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T cell (Treg) responses. Specifically, IFN signaling is required for commensal-induced tolerance, as IFNAR1-deficient DCs display blunted IL-10 and IL-27 production in response to B. fragilis. We further establish that IFN-driven IL-27 in DCs is critical in shaping the ensuing Foxp3+ Treg via IL27Ra signaling. Consistent with these findings, single cell RNA sequencing of gut Tregs demonstrated that colonization with B. fragilis promotes a distinct IFN gene signature in Foxp3+ Tregs during intestinal inflammation. Altogether, our findings demonstrate a critical role of commensal-mediated immune tolerance via tonic type I IFN signaling.
