Project description:"Shigella spp. are the causative agents of shigellosis, which remains a major cause of death in children under the age of five. Shigellosis is marked by fever and leads to hemorrhagic diarrhea; Shigella bacteremia are reported in more severe cases. These clinical features strongly suggest that Shigella survive to plasma exposure, although it has not been previously investigated at a molecular level. In this report, we confirmed in a guinea pig model of shigellosis that local hemorrhages were induced by S. flexneri 5a and S. sonnei and we demonstrated that Shigella reached CD31+/CD34+ blood vessels within the mucosa during late infection stage and further disseminated in the blood circulation. These results confirmed the exposition of Shigella to plasma components during its virulence cycle, from the hemorrhagic colonic mucosa to the blood circulation. We demonstrated that all tested Shigella strains survived to plasma exposure in vitro and we have shown that Serine Protease Autrotransporters of Enterobacteriaceae (SPATEs) are essential for Shigella dissemination within the colonic mucosa and in the blood circulation. We confirmed that SPATEs were expressed and secreted within poorly oxygenated environments encountered by Shigella from hypoxic foci of infection to the blood circulation. We have further demonstrated that SPATEs promoted the survival of Shigella to plasma exposure, by cleaving the complement 3 component (C3), hence impairing the complement system activation."

Project description:Many human Gram-negative bacterial pathogens express a Type Three Secretion Apparatus (T3SA), including among the most notorious Shigella spp., Salmonella enterica, Yersinia enterocolitica and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). These bacteria express on their surface multiple copies of the T3SA that mediate the delivery into host cells of specific protein substrates critical to pathogenesis. Shigella spp. are Gram-negative bacterial pathogens responsible for human bacillary dysentery. The effector function of several Shigella T3SA substrates has largely been studied but their potential cellular targets are far from having been comprehensively delineated. In addition, it is likely that some T3SA substrates have escaped scrutiny as yet. Indeed, sequencing of the virulence plasmid of Shigella flexneri has revealed numerous open reading frames with unknown functions that could encode additional T3SA substrates. Taking advantage of label-free mass spectrometry detection of proteins secreted by a constitutively secreting strain of S. flexneri, we identified five novel substrates of the T3SA. We further confirmed their secretion through the T3SA and translocation into host cells using b-lactamase assays. The coding sequences of two of these novel T3SA substrates (Orf13 and Orf131a) have a guanine-cytosine content comparable to those of T3SA components and effectors. The three other T3SA substrates identified (Orf48, Orf86 and Orf176) have significant homology with antitoxin moieties of type II Toxin-Antitoxin systems usually implicated in the maintenance of low copy plasmids. While Orf13 and Orf131a might constitute new virulence effectors contributing to S. flexneri pathogenicity, potential roles for the translocation into host cells of antitoxins or antitoxin-like proteins during Shigella infection are discussed.

Project description:Child undernutrition is a global health issue associated with a high burden of infectious disease. Undernourished children display an overabundance of intestinal pathogens and pathobionts, and these bacteria induce enteric dysfunction in undernourished mice; however, the cause of their overgrowth remains poorly defined. Here, we show that disease-inducing human isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and Bacteroidales spp. are capable of multi-species symbiotic cross-feeding, resulting in synergistic growth of a mixed community in vitro. Growth synergy occurs uniquely under malnourished conditions limited in protein and iron: in this context, Bacteroidales spp. liberate diet- and mucin-derived sugars and Enterobacteriaceae spp. enhance the bioavailability of iron. Analysis of human microbiota datasets reveals that Bacteroidaceae and Enterobacteriaceae are strongly correlated in undernourished children, but not in adequately nourished children, consistent with a diet-dependent growth synergy in the human gut. Together these data suggest that dietary cross-feeding fuels the overgrowth of pathobionts in undernutrition.

Project description:Myopia is a globally emerging concern accompanied by multiple medical and socio-economic burdens with no well-established causal treatment to control thus far. The study of the genomics and transcriptomics of myopia treatment is crucial to delineate disease pathways and provide valuable insights for the design of precise and effective therapeutics. A strong understanding of altered biochemical pathways and underlying pathogenesis leading to myopia may facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of myopia, ultimately leading to the development of more effective preventive and therapeutic measures. In this review, we summarize current data about the genomics and transcriptomics of myopia in human and animal models. We also discuss the potential applicability of these findings to precision medicine for myopia treatment.

Project description:Human enteric α-defensin 5 (HD5) acts as a “double-edged sword” in host immunity due to its prominent role in promoting pathogen infections, yet the mechanistic basis of its infection-enhancing operation remains unclarified. Here we show that HD5 induces abundant filopodial extensions in epithelial cells which capture Shigella, a major human enteroinvasive pathogen that exploits filopodia for invasion, at high efficiency, suggesting a novel human-specific mechanism of HD5-augmented bacterial invasion. Using multi-omics screening and both gut-on-chip and in vivo models, we identify the HD5 receptor as P2Y11, a purinergic receptor distributed apically on the luminal surface of human colonic epithelium, which to our knowledge is the first HD5 receptor for a specific cellular function. cAMP-PKA signaling was identified to be the main pathway mediating the cytoskeleton-regulating activity of HD5, whose critical residues involved were also determined. In illuminating this mechanism of Shigella invasion, our findings raise the possibility of new intervention strategies against HD5-augmented infections.
