L-serine enables reducing the virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii and modulating the SIRT1 pathway to eliminate the pathogen

ABSTRACT:

The emergence of high-virulent Acinetobacter baumannii strains increases the mortality of patients and seriously affects their prognosis, which motivates us to explore novel ways to control such infections. In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was adopted to explore the metabolic difference between high- and low-virulent A. baumannii strains, and the decreased L-serine levels were identified as the most crucial biomarker in low-virulent A. baumannii strains. In vitro, L-serine reduced the virulence of A. baumannii to Beas 2B cells and inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome via decreasing the generation of ROS and mtROS and the release of inflammatory cytokines (IL-18 and IL-1β) through upregulating SIRT1. In vivo, the Galleria mellonella model was adopted. L-serine downregulated the levels of virulence genes (ompA, carO and omp33-36), reduced the mortality of A. baumannii to G. mellonella, and decreased the blacking speed as well as the degree of G. mellonella after infection. Taken together, we found that L-serine can reduce the virulence of A. baumannii and enhance the host’s defense against the pathogen, providing a novel strategy for the treatment of infections caused by A. baumannii.

Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for bovine macrophages infected with two Myocbacterium bovis strains of variable virulence and co-cultured with autologous lymphocytes.

Project description:In this study we compared the transcriptome of bovine macrophages infected with two Mycobacterium bovis strains of variable virulence, co-cultured with autologous lymphocytes. We used the highly virulent M. bovis strain called Mb04-303 and the attenuated Mb534 strain. We first observed that only the infection of bovine macrophages with the virulent strain, Mb04-303, induced in peripheral bovine mononuclear cells a powerful innate immune response capable of controlling the intracellular mycobacterial replication.By RNAseq analysis we found that infections with Mb04-303 downregulated the KEAP1-NFE2L2 pathway that encodes a transcriptional factor involved in antioxidant genes and inflammasome activation and upregulated the type 1 interferon signalling pathway, compared to the infections with the attenuated Mb534 strain.

Transcription profiling of mouse virulence models to investigate urine host cell response to Aeromonas infection

Project description:Aims: To assess the virulence of multiple Aeromonas spp. using two models, a neonatal mouse assay and a mouse intestinal cell culture. Methods and Results: Transcriptional responses to both infection models were evaluated using microarrays. After artificial infection with a variety of Aeromonas spp., mRNA extracts from the two models were processed and hydridized to murine microarrays to determine host gene response. Definition of virulence was determined based on host mRNA production in murine neonatal intestinal tissue and mortality of infected animals. Infections of mouse intestinal cell cultures were then performed to determine whether this simpler model system's mRNA responses correlated to neonatal results and therefore be predictive of virulence of Aeromonas spp. Virulent aeromonads up-regulated transcripts in both models including multiple host defense gene products (chemokines, regulation of transcription and apoptosis, cell signaling). Avirulent species exhibited little or no host response in neonates. Mortality results correlated well with both bacterial dose and average fold change of up-regulated transcripts in the neonatal mice. Conclusions: Cell culture results were less discriminating but showed promise as potentially being able to be predictive of virulence. Jun oncogene up-regulation in murine cell culture is potentially predictive of Aeromonas virulence. Significance and Impact of the Study: Having the ability to determine virulence of waterborne pathogens quickly would potentially assist public health officials to rapidly assess exposure risks. Experiment Overall Design: Two infection models were assessed, live, whole animals (neonatal Swiss Webster mice) and a murine small intestinal cell culture. Biological replicates (n=5) were infected with different Aeromonas species/strains and compared to uninfected controls.

Integrative genomic, virulence, and transcriptomic analysis of emergent Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) emm type stG62647 isolates causing human infections

Project description:Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that infects humans and is closely related to group A streptococcus (GAS). Compared to GAS, far less is known about SDSE pathobiology. Increased rates of invasive SDSE infections have recently been reported in many countries. One SDSE emm type, stG62647, is known to cause severe diseases, including necrotizing soft-tissue infections, endocarditis, and osteoarticular infections. To increase our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of stG62647 SDSE isolates causing human infections, we sequenced to closure the genomes of 120 stG62647 SDSE isolates. The genomes varied in size from 2.1 to 2.24 megabase pairs. Consistent with previous data, the great majority of stG62647 isolates had IS1548 integrated into the silB gene, thereby inactivating it. Regions of difference in gene content, including putative mobile genetic elements, were the largest source of genomic diversity. All 120 stG62647 isolates were assayed for virulence using a well-established mouse model of necrotizing myositis. An unexpectedly wide range of virulence was identified (20% to 95%), as assessed by near-mortality data. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying virulence differences, we analyzed RNAseq transcriptome profiles for 38 stG62647 isolates (comprising the 19 least and most virulent) grown in vitro. Genetic polymorphisms were identified from whole-genome sequence data. Collectively, the results suggest that these SDSE isolates use multiple genetic pathways to achieve an altered virulence phenotype. Our study integrates genomic, mouse virulence, and RNAseq data to advance our understanding of SDSE pathobiology and its molecular pathogenesis.

Differential gene expression in mice infected with distinct Toxoplasma gondii strains

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of peritoneal lavage of mice infected with T. gondii Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis in human and animals. In mouse model, T. gondii strains can be divided into three groups, including the virulent, intermediately virulent and non-virulent. The clonal Type I, II and III T. gondii strains belong to these three groups respectively. To better understand the basis of virulence phenotypes, we investigated mouse gene expression responses to the infection of different T. gondii strains at day 5 post intraperitoneal inoculation with 500 tachyzoites. The transcriptomes of mouse peritoneal cells showed that 1927, 1573, and 1009 transcripts were altered more than 2 fold by Type I, II and III infections, respectively, and majority of altered transcripts were shared. Overall transcription patterns were similar in Type I and Type II infections and both had greater changes than that of Type III. Quantification of parasite burden in mouse spleens showed that Type I was 1000 times higher than Type II, and Type II was 20 times higher than Type III. Fluorescence activated cell sorting revealed that Type I and II infections had comparable macrophage populations and both were higher than Type III infection. In addition, Type I infection had higher percentage of neutrophils than that of Type II and III. Taken together, these results suggested that there is a common gene expression response to T. gondii infection in mice. This response is further modified by parasite strain specific factors that determine their distinct virulence phenotypes.

Expression data profile of A498 cells inoculated with E. coli 83972 and E. coli CFT073

Project description:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute a highly relevant model of microbial adaptation, in which the contrasting effects of pathogens and commensals on host tissues are clearly displayed. While virulent Escherichia coli cause severe, potentially life-threatening disease by breaking the inertia of the mucosal barrier and infecting the kidneys, the most common outcome of bacteriuria is an asymptomatic carrier state resembling commensalism at other mucosal sites. It remains unclear if the lack of destructive inflammation merely reflects low virulence or if carrier strains actively inhibit disease associated responses in the host. To address this question, we examined the effects of asymptomatic bacterial carriage on host gene expression. A498 cell line has been validated as a model of uropathogenic E. coli infection; the cells express functional receptors for bacterial virulence ligands and the response to virulent strains reflects human UTI. The cells were infected with asymptomatic and pathogenic E. coli in vitro, and harvested RNA was subjected to whole genome transcriptome analysis.

Whole blood transcriptome during acute phase of infecion in avirulent and virulent Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi infection

Project description:Analysis of blood samples taken throughout the acute phase of infection from mice infected with avirulent P. chabaudi AS strain or virulent CB strain The influence of parasite genetic factors on immune responses and development of severe pathology of malaria is largely unknown. In this study, we performed genome-wide transcriptomic profiling of whole blood during blood-stage infections of two strains of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi that differ in virulence. We identified several transcriptomic signatures associated with the virulent infection, including signatures for lung inflammation, stronger and prolonged anemia and platelet aggregation. The latter two signatures were detected prior to pathology. The anemia signature indicated deregulation of host erythropoiesis, and the lung inflammation signature was linked to increased neutrophil infiltration, more cell death and greater parasite sequestration in the lungs. This comparative whole-blood transcriptomics profiling of virulent and avirulent malaria infections shows the validity of this approach to inform severity of malarial infection and provide insight into pathogenic mechanisms.
