Effect of Drosophila immune proteins on gene expression in E. coli

ABSTRACT: Interaction between the host and invading pathogen determines the fate of both organisms during the infectious state. The host is equipped with a battery of immune reactions, while the pathogen displays a variety of mechanisms to compromise host immunity. Although bacteria alter their pattern of gene expression when they enter host organisms, studies to elucidate the mechanism behind this are only in their infancy. In the present study, we examined the possibility that host immune proteins directly participate in the change of gene expression in bacteria. To this end, Escherichia coli was treated with a mixture of the extracellular region of membrane-bound peptidoglycan recognition protein LC (PGRP-LC) and the antimicrobial peptide attacin of Drosophila, and subsequently subjected to DNA microarray analysis for the repertoire of mRNA. We identified nearly 200 genes whose mRNA increased after the treatment, and at least four of them were induced in response to PGRP-LC. One such gene, lipoprotein-encoding nlpI, showed a transient increase of its mRNA level in adult flies depending on PGRP-LC, and NlpI-lacking E. coli had a smaller pathogenic effect with lowered growth/viability than the parental strain in adult flies. These results suggest that a host immune receptor triggers a change of gene expression in bacteria simultaneously to their recognition of the invader and induction of immune responses.

The E. coli strain BW25113 (2 x 10^9) suspended with insect saline (0.13 M NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 1.9 mM CaCl2), was incubated with a mixture of GST-attacin (0.125 Î¼M), GST-PGRP-LCa (0.5 Î¼M), GST-PGRP-LCx (1 Î¼M), and GST-PGRP-LCy (0.5 Î¼M) for 10 min at room temperature. As a negative control, incubation of E. coli was done in the presence of GST alone (3 Î¼M).

Gene expression in Escherichia coli treated with human PGRP, gentamicin, and CCCP

Project description:Human Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRPs) kill bacteria, likely by over-activating stress responses in bacteria. To gain insight into the mechanism of PGRP killing of Escherichia coli and bacterial defense against PGRP killing, gene expression in E. coli treated with a control protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), human recombinant PGRP (PGLYRP4), gentamicin (aminoglycoside antibiotic), and CCCP (membrane potential decoupler) were compared. Each treatment induced unique and somewhat overlapping pattern of gene expression. PGRP highly increased expression of genes for oxidative and disulfide stress, detoxification and efflux of Cu, As, and Zn, repair of damaged proteins and DNA, methionine and histidine synthesis, energy generation, and Fe-S clusters repair. PGRP also caused marked decrease in the expression of genes for Fe uptake and motility. Gene expression microarray in E. coli exposed to a human bactericidal innate immunity protein, PGRP, showed induction of oxidative stress response and defense genes, with different expression pattern than E. coli exposed to an aminoglycoside antibiotic and a membrane potential decoupler.

Gene expression in Bacillus subtilis treated with human PGRP, gentamicin, and CCCP

Project description:Human Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRPs) kill bacteria, likely by over-activating stress responses in bacteria. To gain insight into the mechanism of PGRP killing of Bacillus subtilis and bacterial defense against PGRP killing, gene expression in B. subtilis treated with a control protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), human recombinant PGRP (PGLYRP4), gentamicin (aminoglycoside antibiotic), and CCCP (membrane potential decoupler) were compared. Each treatment induced unique and somewhat overlapping pattern of gene expression. PGRP highly increased expression of genes for oxidative and disulfide stress, detoxification and efflux of Cu, As, and Zn, several transporters, repair of damaged proteins and DNA, energy generation, histidine and cysteine synthesis, envelope lysis and remodeling, and other stress responses. PGRP also caused marked decrease in the expression of genes for phosphate uptake and utilization, Fe uptake, and motility. Gene expression microarray in B. subtilis exposed to a human bactericidal innate immunity protein, PGRP, showed induction of oxidative stress response and defense genes, with different expression pattern than B. subtilis exposed to an aminoglycoside antibiotic and a membrane potential decoupler.

Analysis of genes regulated by Akirin and Brahma upon IMD pathway activation in drosophila S2 cells

Project description:This micro-array helps establishing the function of Akirin, a nuclear protein with unknown domains, a putative interacting partner, in the transcriptional regulation of the targets of Relish, a NF-kB factor required to fight Gram(-) bacteria infection in Drosophila melanogaster. S2 cells were knocked down for Relish, Akirin and immune-challenged by Calcium-phosphate transient transfection of dsRNA and over-expressing PGRP-LC vector. Positively transfected cells were sorted by co-expressed Tomato and RNA was purified and analysed by a micro-array

RNA-Sequencing analysis of the Drosophila transcriptomic response to infection by entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria

Project description:We report the application of next generation RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptional response of Drosophila adult flies to infection by the insect pathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and their mutualistic bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens, either separately or together. We find that Heterorhabditis and Photorhabdus differentially modulate a large number of genes, many of which participate in metabolic functions, stress responses, repression of gene transcription and neuronal activities. We have also identified Drosophila genes with potential role in nematode recognition and others with putative anti-nematode properties. These findings generate novel insights into how the host immune function is shaped to respond against nematode parasites and their associated bacteria. Transcriptional profiles of Drosophila wild-type adult flies infected with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora carrying or lacking Photorhabdus or the bacteria alone were generated at 12 and 30 hours post infection using Illumina deep sequencing technology.

B. subtilis was treated with PGRP (human recombinant PGLYRP4), gentamicin, or CCCP (carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone). RNA was obtained from each culture and assayed for gene expression using custom whole genome Affymetrix 900513 GeneChip B. subtilis Genome Array. Each experiment was repeated 3 times.

Xenophagic process controls the Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli infection of the epithelial cells III

Project description:The invasive bacteria recognition by host cells through autophagy is a key factor for determining bacterial infection. Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) express a protein IcsB, which in Shigella, is known for inactivating the bacterial degradation process. Once EIEC showed less expression of icsB when compared to S. flexneri, we proposed to investigate the autophagy caused by EIEC infection. Our results showed that IcsB protein is an important virulence factor in EIEC because it causes a camouflage of the bacteria in the eukaryotic cell. When there is low or none expression of the protein, the cell recognition of the invasive bacteria is high, decreasing the bacteria dissemination. This found confirms the importance of the gene transcription and the sequence, since the strain E. coli SM124/13, complemented with icsB from Shigella, showed higher dissemination efficiency inside of the host cell. Additionally, our results revealed that eukaryotic cell infected by EIEC or Shigella flexneri showed distinguish responses. In EIEC infection, the autophagy was activated in human cells, but not in a conventional mode. Our hypothesis is that EIEC is recognized by autophagy, being an important cell process for bacterial recognition.
