Deciphering the proteome of naturally released extracellular vesicles from Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona in response to temperature and osmotic stresses

ABSTRACT: The biogenesis and functions of Leptospira's extracellular vesicles (EVs) remain unclear. The study aimed to characterize EVs that were naturally released from intact leptospires during in vitro culture, as well as under conditions mimicking the host environment during infection, including temperature or osmolarity shift. The EVs were found to contain a group of proteins from the outer membrane and various cytoplasmic proteins, suggesting that they originated from the outer membrane and cytoplasm. These proteins were primarily involved in Leptospira's growth, survival, adaptation, and pathogenicity. Interestingly, the study revealed that Leptospira secreted multifunctional proteins through EVs but might maintain several virulence and virulence-associated proteins in their cells in response to temperature and osmotic stresses. Thus, native leptospiral EVs might act as decoys for the host immune system, while the virulence factors crucial for direct interaction with host components might be preserved in whole cells. This knowledge may contribute to understanding the role of EVs in the pathogenicity of Leptospira and the development of vaccines against leptospirosis in the future.

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are generally formed by pinching off outer membrane leaflets while simultaneously releasing multiple active molecules into the external environment. In this study, we aimed to identify the protein cargo of leptospiral EVs released from intact leptospires grown under three different conditions: EMJH medium at 30 °C, temperature shifted to 37 °C, and physiologic osmolarity (EMJH medium with 120 mM NaCl). The naturally released EVs observed under transmission ...[more]

Project description:The life-threatening pathogen Leptospira interrogans navigates a dual existence: surviving in environmental reservoirs and infecting mammalian hosts. Leptospira biofilm formation is thought to be an important survival strategy in environmental contexts and may also contribute to the persistence of leptospirosis in maintenance hosts. Examining the correlation between biofilm formation and the virulence of pathogenic strains might improve our comprehension of the epidemiology of leptospirosis. To further explore Leptospira’s survival strategy, our study focused on elucidating the biological state of pathogenic Leptospira within biofilms, particularly aiming to uncover the adaptations and regulatory mechanisms that are involved in such complex microenvironments. To determine the transcriptional profile of pathogenic Leptospira in biofilm, we compared the genome-wide transcriptomic profiles in late biofilms (21 days old) with those in exponential planktonic cultures (5 days old), revealing a pronounced transcriptomic shift. While genes linked to motility, energy production, and metabolism were downregulated, those governing the general stress response, defense against metal stress, and redox homeostasis showed a significant upsurge, hinting at a tailored defensive strategy against stress in late biofilms. A standout finding was the increased expression of the csoR, copZ, and copA locus, integral to copper ion stress response in other bacterial genera, suggesting a unique adaptation to metal-induced stress. Further, despite a reduced metabolic state in biofilms, their disruption swiftly restored metabolic activity. Crucially, bacteria either in late biofilms or resulting from biofilm disruption retained virulence in a hamster infection model, defying the notion that biofilm maturation abolishes pathogenicity. In summary, our study highlights Leptospira's adaptive equilibrium in biofilms: minimizing cellular energy expenditure to conserve resources, potentially aiding in withstanding stresses while maintaining its pathogenicity. These insights are important for explaining the survival strategies of Leptospira, revealing that a biofilm lifestyle may confer an advantage in maintaining virulence. This understanding is essential for managing leptospirosis across both environmental reservoirs and mammalian hosts.
