Project description:The overall goal of these experiments was to determine how human endothelial cells respond to pathogenic Leptospira interrogans. Leptospira interrogans causes leptospirosis, the most widespread zoonotic infection in the world. A hallmark of leptospirosis is widespread endothelial damage, which in severe cases leads to hemorrhage. In these experiments, we infected two endothelial cell lines with pathogenic Leptospira interrogans serovar Canicola strain Ca12-005, and as controls, with the non-pathogenic Leptospira biflexa serovar Patoc strain Pfra. As additional controls, uninfected cells were also included in the analyses.

HMEC-1: establishment of an immortalized human microvascular endothelial cell line. J Invest Dermatol. 99:683-690); due to loss of the original analysis files, only raw data files are provided. Infection times were performed at a multiplicity of infection (# bacteria/endothelial cell) of 10 for either 1 hour or 3 hours, after which RNA was harvested and reverse transcribed. Labeled cDNAs were used to probe HEEBO arrays purchased from Microarrays Inc. (Nashville, TN). In each of three biological replicate experiments, for each time point, three comparisons were made. First, the L. interrogans-infected cells were compared to the L. biflexa-infected cells. Second, the L. Interrogans-infected cells were compared to the uninfected cells. Third, the L. biflexa-infected cells were compared to the uninfected cells. A second endothelial cell line,

Project description:Pathogenic Leptospira spp. are the causative agents of the zoonotic disease leptospirosis. During infection, Leptospira are confronted with deadly reactive oxygen species (ROS). Withstanding ROS produced by the host innate immunity is an important strategy evolved by pathogenic Leptospira for persisting in and colonizing hosts. The peroxide stress regulator, PerR, represses genes involved in ROS defenses in L. interrogans. We have performed RNA sequencing in WT and perR mutant strains to characterize the L. interrogans adaptive response to hydrogen peroxide. We showed that Leptospira solicit three main peroxidase machineries (catalase, cytochrome C peroxidase and peroxiredoxin) and heme to adapt to peroxide stress as well as canonical chaperones of the heat shock response, and DNA repair. Determining the PerR regulon allowed to identify the PerR-dependent mechanisms of the peroxide adaptive response and has revealed a regulatory network involving other transcriptional regulators, two-component systems and sigma factors as well as non-coding RNAs that putatively orchestrate, in concert with PerR, this adaptive response. Our findings provide comprehensive insight into the mechanisms required by pathogenic Leptospira to overcome infection-related oxidants. This will participate in framing future hypothesis-driven studies to identify and decipher novel virulence mechanisms.

Project description:Leptospira are emerging zoonotic pathogens transmitted from animals to humans typically through contaminated environmental sources of water and soil. Transcriptional regulation of pathogenic Leptospira spp. underlying the adaptive response to different hosts and environmental conditions remains elusive. In this study, we provide the first global Transcriptional Start Site (TSS) map of a Leptospira species. RNA was obtained from the pathogen Leptospira interrogans grown at 30° (optimal in vitro temperature) and 37°C (host temperature) and selectively enriched for 5' ends of native transcripts. Primary TSS (pTSS) was identified for 2,865 genes, accounting for 67% of the total genome. The majority of the TSSs were located between 0 to 10 nucleotides from the translational start site. Comparative dRNA-seq analysis revealed conservation of most pTSS at 30° and 37°C. Promoter prediction algorithms allow the identification of the binding sites of the alternative sigma factor sigma 54. However, other motifs were not identified indicating that Leptospira consensus promoter sequences are inherently different from the E. coli model. RNA sequencing also identified 277 and 226 putative small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) at 30°C and 37°C, respectively, including 8 validated sRNAs by Northern blots. These results provide the first global view of transcriptional start sites and the repertoire of sRNAs in L. interrogans, and will establish a foundation for future experimental work on gene regulation under various environmental conditions including those in the host.

Project description:Mandatory potency testing of Leptospira vaccine batches relies partially on in vivo procedures, requiring large numbers of laboratory animals. Cell-based assays could replace in vivo tests if biomarkers indicative of Leptospira vaccine potency are identified. We investigated innate immune responsiveness induced by inactivated L. interrogans serogroups Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae, and two bivalent, non-adjuvanted canine Leptospira vaccines containing the same serogroups. First, the transcriptome and proteome analysis of canine 030-D cells stimulated with Leptospira strains, and the corresponding vaccine revealed more than 900 DEGs and 23 DEPs in common to these three stimuli. Second, comparison of responses induced by this Leptospira vaccine and a vaccine from another manufacturer revealed a large overlap in DEGs and DEPs as well, suggesting potential to identify biomarkers of Leptospira vaccine activity. Because not many common DEPs were identified, we selected seven molecules from the identified DEGs, associated with pathways related to innate immunity, of which CXCL-10, IL-1β, SAA, and complement C3 showed increased secretion upon stimulation with both Leptospira vaccines. These molecules could be interesting targets for development of biomarker-based assays in the future. Additionally, this study contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms by which Leptospira vaccines induce innate immune responses in the dog.

Project description:Pathogenic Leptospira spp. are the causative agents of the zoonotic disease leptospirosis. During infection, Leptospira are confronted with deadly reactive oxygen species (ROS). Withstanding ROS produced by the host innate immunity is an important strategy evolved by pathogenic Leptospira for persisting in and colonizing hosts. The peroxide stress regulator, PerRA, represses genes involved in ROS defenses in L. interrogans. We have identified an ORF encoding a putative second PerR in pathogenic Leptospira that we named PerRB. We have determined the transcriptomic profil of a single perRB and a double perRAperRB mutants. The concomitant inactivation of perRA and perRB has a pleiotropic effect on the transcriptomic profil of L. interrogans. The lack of both PerRA and PerRB regulators led to the differential expression of several virulence-associated genes and a loss of virulence. Our findings provide new insights into a new regulatory network that controls virulence and host colonization.

Project description:We used RNAseq to investigate innate immune responsiveness in canine 030-D cell line induced by inactivated L. interrogans serogroups Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae, and two bivalent, non-adjuvanted canine Leptospira vaccines containing the same serogroups. We identified more than 900 DEGs associated with pathways related to innate immune responses in common to these three stimuli. Several molecules including CXCL-10, SAA, and complement factor C3 were identified that could serve as targets for development of a biomarker-based in vitro assay to assess Leptospira vaccine quality. In vitro assay could replace the current animal vaccine-challenge potency assay and contribute to reduction of animal use in vaccine manufacturing.

Project description:Leptospira, the causative agent of leptospirosis is known to have several proteases with potential to degrade extracellular matrix. However, a multipronged approach to identify, classify, characterize and elucidate their role has not been attempted. In this study, we carried out in-depth proteomic analysis of Triton X-114 fractions of Leptospira interrogans using high-resolution LC-MS/MS.
