Proteome Differences between Daptomycin-Resistant and WT MRSA Biofilms after Elasnin Treatment

ABSTRACT: A recent study reported that daptomycin-resistant MRSA (DAPR) strain biofilm is more resistant to daptomycin and vancomycin, as compared to the WT strain biofilm. This pose a great danger since DAPR MRSA is prevalent in clinics and they often form biofilms in medical devices. In this study, we investigate the anti-biofilm activity of elasnin against DAPR MRSA biofilms, and we observed that elasnin is not only effective to eradicate the biofilm of the DAPR strain, but it shows a superior activity compared to the susceptible WT strain. Using proteomics, we compared the proteome profile of the DAPR and the WT strain biofilm cells under elasnin treatment to reveal why elasin is superior against the DAPR strain. Besides, we also employed adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment by repetitively treating MRSA culture with high dose of elasnin, and generated evolved MRSA strain with increased elasnin tolerance. Using quantitative proteomics, we compared the proteome differences in the elasnin-susceptible WT MRSA and elasnin-tolerant evolved strain.

Elasnin is a new antibiofilm compound that was recently reported to have excellent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. In this study, we established that elasnin also has antibacterial activity against growing S. aureus planktonic cells. To explore elasnin's potential as an antibiotic, we applied adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) and produced evolved strains with elevated elasnin tolerance. Interestingly, they were more sensitive toward daptomycin and ...[more]

Project description:Several groups have shown that through evolution experiments, tolerance evolved rapidly under cyclic antibiotic treatment which then promote the emergence of resistance. In other words, intermittent antibiotic exposure will “train” the bacteria to become tolerant to the drug, and then boost the chances for them to become fully resistant. This evolutionary trajectory of evolving tolerance and resistance not only occurs in vitro, but also in clinical patients with MRSA blood infections. Despite the fact that repetitive antibiotic treatment will lead to tolerance and resistance development in bacterial populations, the difference on the evolutionary path between those treated with a single drug and drug combination remains unaddressed. In this study, we monitored the development of tolerance in MRSA by treating them with either daptomycin alone for 2 weeks (Scheme 1), or daptomycin combined with rifampin for two weeks (Scheme 2), in a cyclic manner. In addition, we also investigate another scenario where we treat MRSA cells with daptomycin alone for one week, and subsequently treat them with daptomycin and rifampin combination in the second week (Scheme 3). At the end of the evolution experiment, we observed that the population from Scheme 1 developed tolerance towards daptomycin, the population from Scheme 2 developed both tolerance and resistance towards daptomycin, while the population from Scheme 3 developed tolerance after a week of treatment, but then the tolerance phenotype diminished at the end of the second week due to the drug combination treatment. We subjected them to whole genome sequencing and identified single point mutations that are responsible for the observed phenotype. Through proteomics, we compared the proteome profile of the population evolved from scheme 1 (S1D14), scheme 2 (S2D14) and scheme 3 (S3D14), and we observed that these three populations employ distinct mechanisms to survive antibiotic treatment, suggesting that the treatment strategy for these populations should be tailored depending on the treatment conditions.

Project description:Objectives: Development of daptomycin resistance (DAPR) in Staphylococcus aureus is associated with clinical treatment failures. Mechanism(s) of such resistance has not been clearly defined. Methods: We studied an isogenic daptomycin-susceptible (DAPS) and daptomycin-resistant (DAPR) S. aureus strain pair (616; 701) from a patient with relapsing endocarditis during daptomycin treatment, using comparative transcriptomic and proteomic techniques. Results. Minor differences in genome content were found between strains by DNA hybridization. Transcriptomic analyses identified a number of genes differentially expressed in important functional categories: cell division, metabolism of bacterial envelopes and global regulation. Of note, the DAPR isolate exhibited reduced expression of the major cell wall autolysis gene coincident with upregulation of genes involved in wall teichoic acid production. Using quantitative (q)RT-PCR on gene cadre putatively involved in cationic peptide resistance, we formulated a putative regulatory network compatible with microarray data-sets, mainly implicating bacterial envelopes. Of interest, qRT-PCR of this same gene cadre from two distinct isogenic DAPS/DAPR clinical strain pairs revealed evidence of other strain dependent networks operative in the DAPR phenotype. Comparative proteomics of 616 vs 701 revealed differential abundance of proteins in various functional categories including: cell-wall associated targets and biofilm-formation proteins. Phenotypically, strains 616 and 701 showed major differences in ability to develop bacterial biofilms in presence of the antibacterial lipid, oleic acid. Conclusions: Compatible with previous in vitro observations, in vivo acquired DAPR in S. aureus is a complex, multistep phenomenon allowing for: i) strain dependent phenotypes; ii) transcriptome adaptation; and iii) modification of lipid and protein content of cellular envelopes. Daptomycin suceptible strain vs daptomycin non suceptible strain after daptomycin treatment

Project description:One of the central goals of evolutionary biology is to explain and predict the molecular basis of adaptive evolution. We studied the evolution of genetic networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) populations propagated for more than 200 generations in different nitrogen-limiting conditions. We find that rapid adaptive evolution in nitrogen-poor environments is dominated by the de novo generation and selection of copy number variants (CNVs), a large fraction of which contain genes encoding specific nitrogen transporters including PUT4, DUR3 and DAL4. The large fitness increases associated with these alleles limits the genetic heterogeneity of adapting populations even in environments with multiple nitrogen sources. Complete identification of acquired point mutations, in individual lineages and entire populations, identified heterogeneity at the level of genetic loci but common themes at the level of functional modules, including genes controlling phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate metabolism and vacuole biogenesis. Adaptive strategies shared with other nutrient-limited environments point to selection of genetic variation in the TORC1 and Ras/PKA signaling pathways as a general mechanism underlying improved growth in nutrient-limited environments. Within a single population we observed the repeated independent selection of a multi-locus genotype, comprised of the functionally related genes GAT1, MEP2 and LST4. By studying the fitness of individual alleles, and their combination, as well as the evolutionary history of the evolving population, we find that the order in which these mutations are acquired is constrained by epistasis. The identification of repeatedly selected variation at functionally related loci that interact epistatically suggests that gene network polymorphisms (GNPs) may be a frequent outcome of adaptive evolution. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic basis by which cells adapt to nutrient-limited environments and suggest that knowledge of the selective environment and the regulatory mechanisms important for growth and survival in that environment greatly increases the predictability of adaptive evolution.
