Serial passaging of Aspergillus fumigatus on Galleria extract agar produces strains with altered response of oxidative stress


ABSTRACT: Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental saprophyte and opportunistic fungal pathogen of the human lung. Serially passaging of A. fumigatus on an agar produced from Galleria mellonella larvae produced strains showing alterations in virulence, anti-fungal susceptibility and in protein abundances that may indicate a degree of adaptation or selection after 25 passages on the artificial agar. While passaged strains demonstrated reduced virulence in G. mellonella larvae, they demonstrated increased tolerance to haemocyte mediated killing, hydrogen peroxide, itraconazole and amphotericin B. Label-free proteomic analysis of control and passaged A. fumigatus strains revealed a total of 3329 proteins of which, 1902 remained following filtration and 32 proteins were statistically significant and differentially abundant. Proteins that play a role in the oxidative stress response were altered in abundance in the passaged strain and included (S)-S-oxide reductase (+2.63 fold), developmental regulator FlbA (+2.27 fold) and histone H2A.Z (-1.82 fold). The results presented here indicate that prolonged culturing of A. fumigatus on Galleria extract agar results in alterations in susceptibility to oxidative stress and in the abundance of proteins associated with the oxidative stress response. The phenomenon may be a result of selection for strains suitable for survival in the adverse conditions imposed by the innate immune response.

<i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> is an environmental saprophyte and opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans. The aim of the work presented here was to examine the effect of serially subculturing <i>A. fumigatus</i> on agar generated from <i>Galleria mellonella</i> larvae in order to characterize the alterations in the phenotypes that might occur. The passaged strains showed alterations in virulence, antifungal susceptibility, and in protein abundances that may indicate adaptation after 25 passages o  ...[more]
