QTL Mapping and Bulk Segregant Analysis identifies CO2 tolerance genes associated with virulence in the global pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans is a ubiquitous free-living soil yeast and opportunistic pathogen that causes ~223,100 cases of cryptococcal meningitis per year, killing over 180,000 people. The pathogenicity of C. neoformans relies on its adaptation to the host conditions. An important difference between its natural environment and the mammalian host is the concentration of CO2. CO2 levels in the host fluctuate around 5%, which is ~125-fold higher than in ambient air. We recently found that while clinical isolates are tolerant to host levels ofCO2, many environmental isolates are CO2-sensitive and virulence-attenuated in animal models. The genetic basis responsible for cryptococcal adaptation to high levels of CO2 is unknown. Here, we utilized quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping with 374 progeny from a cross between a CO2-tolerant clinical isolate and a CO2-sensitive environmental isolate to identify genetic regions regulating CO2 tolerance. To identify specific quantitative trait genes (QTGs), we applied fine mapping through backcrossing and bulk segregant analysis coupled with pooled genome sequencing of near-isogenic progeny but with distinct tolerance levels to CO2. The roles of the identified QTGs in CO2 tolerance were verified by targeted gene deletion. We further demonstrated that virulence levels among near-isogenic strains in a murine model of cryptococcosis correlate with their levels of CO2 tolerance. Moreover, we discovered that sensitive strains may adapt in vivo to become more tolerant to increased CO2 levels and more virulent. These findings highlight the underappreciated role of the host CO2 tolerance and its importance in the ability of an opportunistic environmental pathogen to cause disease.

Microevolution of Cryptococcus neoformans in high CO2 converges on mutations isolated from patients with relapsed cryptococcosis

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans is an environmental fungus that causes an estimated 180,000 deaths annually and transitions from the external environment to the host environment to cause disease. CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere (0.04%) are dramatically lower than in mammalian tissues (5%). Environmental C. neoformans strains that cannot tolerate 5% CO2 are much less virulent than CO2-tolerant strains. Microevolution at elevated CO2generated loss-of-function mutations in the nucleotide binding protein Avc1 that confer CO2 tolerance to CO2-intolerant strains. Mechanistically, Avc1 positively regulates the expression of plasma membrane transporters including PDR9, a phospholipid floppase that negatively modulates CO2 fitness. Deletion of AVC1 in five CO2-intolerant environmental strains increased competitive fitness in host CO2 and in a mouse infection model. Importantly, strains with similar AVC1 mutations have emerged in patients with relapsed cryptococcosis. Therefore, this microevolutionary convergence strongly suggests that adaptation to host CO2 is a significant driver of C. neoformans fitness during infection.

Characterizing the transcriptional role of L-DOPA and antimycin A on mitichondrial regulation in Cryptococcus neoformans using a cir1 knockout strain

Project description:Proper mitochondrial function is critical for the ability of the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans to cause disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction of WT cells treated with antimycin A or L-DOPA, or on cells lacking Cir1 is evident from this dataset. These experiments revealed influences on transcript levels of genes encoding Fe-S cluster assembly components and the response to oxidative stress in Cryptococcus neoformans.

Immunization with a heat-killed Prm1 deletion strain protects the host from Cryptococcus neoformans infection

Project description:Systemic infection with Cryptococcus neoformans, a dangerous and contagious pathogen found throughout the world, frequently results in lethal cryptococcal pneumonia and meningoencephalitis, and no effective treatments of cryptococcosis are available. Here, we describe Prm1, a novel regulator of virulence in C. neoformans. C. neoformans prm1 cells exhibit extreme sensitivity to various environmental stress conditions. Furthermore, prm1 cells show deficiencies in the biosynthesis of chitin, chitosan, and mannoprotein, which in turn result in impairment of cell wall integrity. Treatment of mice with heat-killed prm1 cells was found to facilitate the host immunological defence against infection with wild-type C. neoformans. Further investigation demonstrated that prm1 cells strongly promote pulmonary production of interferon- and Th1 responses, leading to activation of macrophage M1 differentiation and inhibition of M2 polarization. Therefore, our findings suggest that C. neoformans Prm1 may be a viable target for the development of anti-cryptococcosis medications and, cells lacking Prm1 represent a promising candidate for a vaccine.

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans adapts to the host environment through TOR-mediated remodeling of phospholipid asymmetry

Project description:Cryptococcus spp. are environmental fungi that first must adapt to the host environment before they can cause life-threatening meningitis in immunocompromised patients. Host CO2 concentrations are 100-fold higher than the external environment and strains unable to grow at host CO2 concentrations are not pathogenic. Using a genetic screening and transcriptional profiling approach, we found that the TOR pathway is critical for C. neoformans adaptation to host CO2 partly through Ypk1-dependent remodeling of phosphatidylserine asymmetry at the plasma membrane. We also identified a C. neoformans ABC/PDR transporter (PDR9) that is highly expressed in CO2-sensitive environmental strains, suppresses CO2-induced phosphatidylserine remodeling, and increases susceptibility to host concentrations of CO2. Interestingly, regulation of plasma membrane lipid asymmetry by the TOR-Ypk1 axis is distinct in C. neoformans compared to S. cerevisiae. Finally, host CO2 concentrations suppress the C. neoformans pathways that respond to host temperature (Mpk1) and pH (Rim101), indicating that host adaptation requires a stringent balance among distinct stress responses.

Effect of Replicative Aging on Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is an opportunistic fungal microorganism that causes life-threatening meningoencephalitis. During the infection, the microbial population is heterogeneously composed of cells with varying generational ages, with older cells accumulating during chronic infections. This is attributed to their enhanced resistance to phagocytic killing and tolerance of antifungals like fluconazole (FLC). Using RNA-seq, we investigated how transcriptomic changes in different aspects of metabolism contribute to age-associated FLC tolerance in Cn.
