Project description:PAO1 and FRD1 were cultured planktonically and in biofilms with 10 mM calcium and no added calcium. The transcriptional response to calcium addition was determined for PAO1 cultured planktonically, for FRD1 cultured planktonically, for PAO1 cutured in biofilms, and for FRD1 cultured in biofilms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes severe, life threatening infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), endocarditis, wounds, or with artificial implants. During CF pulmonary infections, P. aeruginosa often encounters environments where the levels of calcium (Ca2+) are elevated. Previously, we showed that P. aeruginosa responds to externally added Ca2+ through enhanced biofilm formation, increased production of several secreted virulence factors, and by developing a transient increase in the intracellular Ca2+ followed by its removal to the basal sub-micromolar level. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for regulating Ca2+-induced virulence factor production and Ca2+ homeostasis are not known. Here, we characterized the genome-wide transcriptional response of P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and FRD1 to elevated [Ca2+] in both planktonic cultures and in biofilms. Among the genes induced by CaCl2 in PAO1 was an operon containing the two-component regulator PA2656-PA2657 (here called carS and carR), while the closely related two-component regulators, phoPQ and pmrAB were repressed by CaCl2 addition. To identify the regulatory targets of CarSR, we constructed a deletion mutant of carR, and performed transcriptome analysis of the mutant strain at low and high [Ca2+]. Among the genes regulated by CarSR in response to CaCl2 are the predicted periplasmic OB-fold protein, PA0320 and the inner membrane-anchored five-bladed -propeller protein, PA0327. Mutations in both PA0320 and PA0327 affected Ca2+ homeostasis, reducing the ability of P. aeruginosa to export excess Ca2+. In addition, a mutation in PA0327 had a pleotrophic effect in a Ca2+-dependent manner, altering swarming motility, pyocyanin production, and tobramycin sensitivity. Overall, the results indicate that the two-component system CarSR is responsible for sensing high levels of external Ca2+, and responding through its regulatory targets that modulate Ca2+ homeostasis, surface-associated motility, and production of the virulence factor, pyocyanin.

Project description:Coumarin has been reported as a quorum sensing inhibitor for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The goal of this transcriptomic analysis is to elucidate the effect of coumarin on gene expression of P. aeruginosa. Therefore, planktonic cells of P. aeruginosa were treated by coumarin for 1h and biofilms were formed in the presence of coumarin for 24h. Unreated controls (with dimethyl sulfoxide ) for both planktonic and biofilm samples were also included. Three biological replicates per treatment were performed with RNA sequencing.

Project description:We used the data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based quantitative proteomics to profile the abundance dynamics of proteins across different growth stages in P. aeruginosa PAO1 reference strain. Extensive modulations of protein expression levels were found in planktonic culture of PAO1 bacteria across different growth stages as well as when comparing the protein expressions in biofilm cells to planktonic cells.

Project description:In vitro comparative transcriptome analysis was carried to determine genes that are differentially expressed in S. mutans biofilm compared with free-living cells. DNA-microarray analyses indicated that about 12 % of genes showed significant differential expression: 139 were activated and 104 were repressed in biofilm vs. planktonic environment.

Project description:Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa relies on specific changes in gene expression. Some of these genes, for instance, control antibiotic resistance. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying biofilm formation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cells were grown as planktonic cells in LB broth for 4 hours (PC4) or 24 hours (PC24) and sessile cels for 24 hours.
