Project description:The formation of electroactive biofilms is a crucial process for the generation of bioelectricity and bioremediation. G. sulfurreducens is a dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganism that can couple oxidation of organic matter with extracellular electron transfer to different insoluble electron acceptors. It has the capability to form biofilms in insoluble metal oxides and electroconductive biofilms in electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems. The formation of electroactive biofilms in this microorganism is a process that has been studied from a physiological, genetic, physical, and electrochemical approach. In G. sulfurreducens, we found that the transcriptional regulator GSU1771 participates in the gene expression of essential genes involved in electron transfer and biofilm formation. Strains deficient in GSU1771 increases Fe(III) reduction, produces more c-type cytochromes and exopolysaccharides. Furthermore, the biofilms produced are thicker and more electroactive than wild-type. In this work, we investigate the global gene expression profile performing RNA-seq comparing Δgsu1771 mutant biofilm grown in non-conductive support (glass) and respiring-graphite electrode. RNA-seq analysis of Δgsu1771 biofilm grown in glass support revealed a total of 467 (167 upregulated and 300 downregulated) differentially expressed genes versus the wild-type biofilm. Meanwhile, in Δgsu1771 biofilm developed in respiring-electrode graphite, we detect 119 (79 upregulated and 40 downregulated) differentially expressed genes with respect to wild-type biofilm. Moreover, transcriptional changes of 67 (56 with the same regulation and in 11 counterregulation) genes were shared in Δgsu1771 biofilm developed in glass and graphite electrodes. We locate upregulated in Δgsu1771 biofilms potential target genes, involved in exopolysaccharide synthesis (gsu1961-63, gsu1959, gsu1972-73, gsu1976-77). We confirmed the upregulation of gsu1979, gsu0972, gsu0783, pgcA, omcM, aroG, panC gnfK, gsu2507, and the downregulation of asnA, ato-1, gsu0810, pilA, csrA, ppcD, and gsu3356 genes by RT-qPCR. DNA-protein binding assay shows direct binding of the GSU1771 regulator to the promoter region of pgcA, pulF, relA, and gsu3356. Also, heme-staining and western blotting revealed an increase of c-type cytochromes in Δgsu1771 biofilms such as OmcS and OmcZ. In general, our data shows that GSU1771 is a global regulator involved in controlling the extracellular electron transfer and exopolysaccharide synthesis, processes required for electroconductive biofilm development.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced the characterization of cellular heterogeneity in physiological and pathological conditions. However, since cells are lysed and can thus only be profiled once, it is currently impossible to perform downstream functional assays on the same cells and to obtain a direct scRNA-seq-based read-out of transcriptional dynamics. Here, we present Live-seq, a novel single cell transcriptomic biopsy approach based on fluidic force microscopy that differs from other scRNA-seq methods because the cells can be kept alive for further analysis. We demonstrate that live-seq allows the identification of both cell types and states. In addition, when coupled to an inverted optical microscope, it uniquely enables linking single cell transcriptomes to downstream functional properties through real-time imaging.

Project description:To date there is no clear explanation as to how Chlamydia pneumoniae heat shock protein 60 (cHSP60) gets activated either through TLR-2/4, MAPKinase (p38/JNK/ERK), apoptotic/antiapoptotic, chemokines and inflammatory cytokines pathways leading to coronary artery disease (CAD). Hence to better understanding towards cHSP60 signaling in CAD patients, we performed experiments at RNA levels in cHSP60 positive and negative groups of CAD patients. For the determination of positivity for C. pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes Simplex Virus in atheromatous plaque multiplex Real Time PCR was performed. Monoplex Real Time PCR was also performed with 16S rRNA and HSP60 gene Chlamydia pneumoniae. Further study was performed only on cHSP60 positive (negative for H. pylori, CMV & HSV-1) and cHSP60 negative (also negative for H. pylori, CMV & HSV-1) CAD patients.
