Project description:Gene-environment interactions mediated at the epigenetic level may provide an initial step in delivering an appropriate response to environmental changes. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a DNA base derived from 5-methylcytosine (5mC), accounts for ~40% of modified cytosine in brain and has been implicated in DNA methylation-related plasticity. To identify the role of 5hmC in gene-environment interactions, we exposed both young (6-week-old) and aged (18-month-old) mice to both an enriched environment and a standard environment. Exposure to EE significantly improves learning and memory in aged mice and reduces 5hmC abundance in mouse hippocampus. Furthermore, we mapped the genome-wide distribution of 5hmC and found that the alteration of 5hmC modification occurred mainly at gene bodies. In particular, genes involved in axon guidance are enriched among the genes with altered 5hmC modification. These results together suggest that environmental enrichment could modulate the dynamics of 5hmC in hippocampus, which could potentially contribute to improved learning and memory in aged animals. To identify the role of 5hmC in gene-environment interactions, we exposed both young (6-week-old) and aged (18-month-old) C57B/6 mice to both an enriched environment (EE) and a standard environment. Exposure of mice to EE was achieved by keeping a group of mice in the EE chamber, which is larger than the standard cage, includes novel objects, such as toys of varied color and texture, tunnels, an exercise wheel for voluntary exercise, and extra bedding material, along with free access to food and water. Daily exposure to EE was kept at 5 hours during the daylight cycle for 4 consecutive weeks. Control animals were kept in their small cages that are used as standard housing cages (CE) containing bedding, food and access to water. YC, young mice exposing to control environment, YE, young mice exposing to enriched environment, AC, aged mice exposing to control environment, AE, aged mice exposed to enriched environment. Please note that 5hmC-containing DNA enrichment method was inspired by a unique character of beta-glucotransferase that can specifically add glucose to 5hmC modification. With a modified glucose conjugated with biotin, we are able to purify the 5hmC-containing DNA by biotin-streptavidin-based immunoprecipitation.

Project description:Incomplete antibiotic removal in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) could lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes (ARGs) in the environment, posing a growing public health threat. In this study, two multiantibiotic-resistant bacteria, Ochrobactrum intermedium (N1) and Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila (N2), were isolated from the sludge of a PWWTP in Guangzhou, China. The N1 strain was highly resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and norfloxacin, while the N2 strain exhibited high resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cefazolin. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that N1 and N2 had genome sizes of 0.52 Mb and 0.37 Mb, respectively, and harbored 33 and 24 ARGs, respectively. The main resistance mechanism in the identified ARGs included efflux pumps, enzymatic degradation, and target bypass, with the N1 strain possessing more multidrug-resistant efflux pumps than the N2 strain (22 vs 12). This also accounts for the broader resistance spectrum of N1 than of N2 in antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Additionally, both genomes contain numerous mobile genetic elements (89 and 21 genes, respectively) and virulence factors (276 and 250 factors, respectively), suggesting their potential for horizontal transfer and pathogenicity. Overall, this research provides insights into the potential risks posed by ARBs in pharmaceutical wastewater and emphasizes the need for further studies on their impact and mitigation strategies.

Project description:Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can escape from the killing of host immune and settle in the host to form persistent infections. In this study, we investigated the environmental adaptation mechanism of resistant Staphyloccus aureus (S. aureus) to host environment by Data-independent acquisition based quantitative proteomics and functional validation. The detection of growth curve and MIC indicated that ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus (Cip-R) showed survival advantage over sensitive strain. Cip-R also exhibited stronger adhesion and invasion ability than sensitive bacteria. Cip-R stimulation resulted in the production of stronger inflammatory factors of the host cells. Proteomics study combined with biochemical validations showed that Cip-R obtains adaptability to host via up-regulation of TCA cycle and down-regulation of ribosome metabolism and protein folding to maintain energy to support their survival. Thus, this study will help us to further explain the growth strategy of resistant bacteria to adapt to the host environment, and provide important information for the development of new antibacterial drugs.

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to determine if the development of resistance to antibiotics can be driven by the concentration and speciation of Cu. Experimental setup was designed to investigate two hypotheses for which two strains of Gram- bacteria have been selected: - Do TE enhance AR in resistant bacteria? Resistant strain: Bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Xen41, Tetracycline resistant) - Do TE induce AR in sensitive bacteria? Sensitive strain: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Wild Type)

Project description:The increasing rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a serious health threat. Thus, it is important to discover, characterize, and optimize new molecules to overcome infections caused by these bacteria. It is known that Acinetobacter baumannii has a high capacity to avoid antibacterial drugs. Consequently, these bacteria have emerged as one of responsible for hospital and community-acquired infections. However, how this pathogen infects and survives inside the host cell is unknown. Here we analyze the time-resolved transcriptional profile changes on human epithelial HeLa cells after A. baumannii. Our results show how A.baumannii can survive in host cells and starts replication at 4 hours post infection. We sequenced RNA to obtain a set of differentially expressed gen (DEGs) used for a Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. The results show us how host bacteria is altering the host cells environment for their own benefit. We also determine chromosomal regions affected by our set of genes. Furthermore, we obtain protein-protein networks that reveal highly interacted proteins. The combination of these results will pave the way to discover new antimicrobial candidates for multidrug-resistant bacteria.
