Project description:Streptococcus gordonii, an important primary colonizer of dental plaque biofilm, specifically binds to salivary amylase via the surface-associated amylase-binding protein A (AbpA). We hypothesized that amylase binding to S. gordonii modulates expression of chromosomal genes, which could influence bacterial survival and persistence in the oral cavity. Gene expression profiling by microarray analysis was performed to detect differentially expressed genes in S. gordonii strain CH1 in response to the binding of purified human salivary amylase as compared to exposure to heat-denatured amylase. Selected genes found to be differentially expressed were validated by qRT-PCR. Five genes from the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) cluster were highly (10-35 fold) up-regulated in amylase treated S. gordonii CH1 cells compared to the denatured-amylase treated cells. An abpA-deficient strain of S. gordonii exposed to amylase did not show a similar response in FAS gene expression as observed in the parental strain. Predicted phenotypic effects of amylase binding to S. gordonii strain CH1 associated with increased expression of FAS genes leading to changes in fatty acid synthesis were noted, as evidenced by increased bacterial growth, survival at low pH, and resistance to triclosan. These changes were not observed in the amylase exposed abpA-deficient strain, suggesting for the role of AbpA in amylase-induced phenotype. These results provide evidence that the binding of salivary amylase elicits a differential gene response in S. gordonii, resulting in a phenotype adjustment that is potentially advantageous for bacterial survival in the oral environment. In order to identify amylase-regulated genes, S. gordonii CH1 was grown statically in 40 ml CDM at 37°C in a candle jar to mid-log phase corresponding to an optical density at 600 nm of 0.5 to 0.6.The mid-log phase bacterial culture was divided into two aliquots of equal volume. Bacterial cells from all aliquots were pelleted by centrifugation at 6,000 x g in a Sorvall RC6 centrifuge at 20°C, and washed once with simulated salivary buffer preconditioned to 37°C. Simulated salivary buffer containing 0.4 mg/ml purified, non-glycosylated salivary amylase (native amylase) and preconditioned to 37°C was added to the cells of the fist aliquot; to the cells of the second aliquot simulated salivary buffer containing 0.4 mg/ml of the same salivary amylase denatured by heating to 100°C {Heinen, 1976} and cooled to 37°C was added, as a negative control. Each aliquot, amylase treated and control, was incubated statically for 15 min at 37°C in a candle jar. Total RNA was immediately isolated by the hot acid phenol method as described previously {Vickerman, 2007}, followed by treatment with TurboDNase (Applied Biosystems/Ambion, Austin, TX) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Remaining contaminants were removed using the RNeasy minikit column (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) with the cleanup protocol. Total RNA was quantified using the Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer and RNA integrity determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. Total RNA was used immediately for cDNA synthesis. The Cy dye-labeled cDNA from the amylase-treated aliquot of the culture was mixed with Cy dye-labeled cDNA from the denatured amylase-treated control aliquot, and used to probe the S. gordonii microarray slides. Each amylase-exposure experiment was repeated from four biological replicates. To confirm microarray results the cDNA from each strain was labeled with the opposite Cy dye and hybridized to similar arrays for the flip-dye comparison. Overall design 4 samples were analyzed. The quality controls were 4 biological replicates and dye-swap technical replicates for each biological replicate.

Project description:Dysbiotic configurations of the human gut microbiota have been linked with colorectal cancer (CRC). Human small non-coding RNAs are also implicated in CRC and recent findings suggest that their release in the gut lumen contributes to shape the gut microbiota. Bacterial small RNAs (bsRNAs) may also play a role in carcinogenesis but their role is less explored. Here, we performed small RNA and shotgun sequencing on 80 stool specimens of patients with CRC, or adenomas, and healthy subjects collected in a cross-sectional study to evaluate their combined use as a predictive tool for disease detection. We reported a considerable overlap and correlation between metagenomic and bsRNA quantitative taxonomic profiles obtained from the two approaches. Furthermore, we identified a combined predictive signature composed by 32 features from human and microbial small RNAs and DNA-based microbiome able to accurately classify CRC from healthy and adenoma samples (AUC= 0.87). In summary we reported evidence that host-microbiome dysbiosis in CRC can be observed also by altered small RNA stool profiles. Integrated analyses of the microbiome and small RNAs in the human stool may provide insights for designing more accurate tools for diagnostic purposes.

Project description:The gene aml encoding alpha-amylase in Streptomyces lividans was cloned in the multicopy plasmid pIJ486, generating plasmid pAMI11. Plasmid pAMI11 and pIJ486 were propagated in S. lividans TK21 to obtain S. lividans TK21(pAMI11) and its isogenic strain S. lividans TK21(pIJ486). Transcriptional profiling of the bacterium that overproduces alpha-amylase mainly resulted in the upregulation of genes involved in the biogenesis and function of ribosomes, together with the upregulation of the genes involved in the redox processes, the ABC transporters, the central carbon, aminoacid and purine /pyrimidine metabolism. Moreover, some genes involved in oxidative stress were upregulated. The number of genes downregulated was much lower than the upregulated ones. Therefore, bacteria respond by favouring alpha-amylase overproduction that apparently does not cause damage to the cell.

Therefore, bacteria respond by favouring alpha-amylase overproduction that apparently does not cause damage to the cell. All microarray analyses were performed with RNA samples obtained from three independent cultures grown under identical conditions. The cDNA obtained from each RNA preparation of the alpha-amylase overproducer strain was hybridised with the cDNA obtained from the equivalent RNA preparation of the isogenic strain (S. lividans TK21 [pIJ486]).
