Project description:The genome of the osmophilic Aspergillus wentii, unlike that of the osmotolerant Aspergillus nidulans, contains only the gfdA but not the gfdB glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. Here, we studied transcriptomic changes of A. nidulans (reference strain and DgfdB gene deletion mutant) and A. wentii (reference strain and An-gfdB expressing mutant) elicited by high osmolarity. A. nidulans showed canonic hyperosmotic stress response characterized by upregulation of trehalose and glycerol metabolism genes (including gfdB) as well as genes of the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) map kinase pathway. Deletion of gfdB caused only negligible alterations in the transcriptome suggesting that the glycerol metabolism was flexible enough to compensate for the missing GfdB activity in this species. A. wentii responded differently to increased osmolarity than A. nidulans: E.g.; bulk upregulation of glycerol and trehalose metabolism genes as well as HOG pathway genes were not detected. Expression of An-gfdB in A. wentii did not abolish osmophilia, but it reduced growth and caused much bigger alterations in the transcriptome than the missing gfdB gene did in A. nidulans. Flexible glycerol metabolism and hence two differently regulated gfd genes may be more beneficial for osmotolerant (living under changing osmolarity) than for osmophilic (living under constantly high osmolarity) species.

Project description:How chondrocytes of the synovial joint sense and respond to hyperosmotic stress to maintain joint homeostasis over time is undetermined. The With-No-Lysine (K) (WNK) protein kinases are major intracellular sensors of hyperosmotic stress that respond by regulating ion channel activity and signaling pathways. To determine if WNK2 is a hyperosmotic sensor in chondrocytes and to identify the genes and pathways regulated by WNK2, we examined the molecular response of chondrocytes to WNK2 overexpression and hyperosmotic stress.

Project description:Oral streptococci metabolize carbohydrate to produce organic acids, not only decrease the environmental pH, but also increase osmolality of dental plaque fluid due to tooth demineralization and consequent calcium and phosphate accumulation. Thus, to persevere in the dental plaque, acidogenic bacteria should evolve sophisticated molecular machineries to counter the detrimental effect of elevated osmolality. This study was aimed to obtain a global view on strategies taken by streptococcus mutans to deal with physiologically relevant elevated osmolality, and preserves within a cariogenic dental plaque. We investigated phenotypic change of S. mutans biofilm upon sub-lethal level of hyperosmotic challenge. We found that hyperosmotic condition was able to initiate S. mutans biofilm dispersal by reducing both microbial content and extracellular polysaccharides matrix. We then used DNA microarray with qPCR validation to systemically investigate the underlying molecular machinery of this bacteria in response to hyperosmotic stimuli. Among those identified 50 differentially regulated genes, down-regulation of gtfB and comC were believed to be responsible for the observed biofilm dispersal. Further analysis of microarray data showed significant up-regulation of genes and pathways involved in carbohydrates metabolism. Specific genes involved in heat shock response and acid tolerance were also upregulated, indicating potential cross-talk between hyperosmotic and other environmental stress. Based on the data obtained in this study, we believe that although hyperosmotic condition may induce significant stress response on S. mutans, this cariogenic bacterium has evolved sophisticated molecular machineries to counter those elicited detrimental effects. In the meantime, it will take full advantage of these environmental stimuli to better fit the fluctuating environments within oral cavity, and thus emerge as numeric-predominant bacteria under cariogenic conditions. A six-chip study using total RNA recovered from mid-logarithmic phase of S. mutans UA159 from three separate cultures of strains submitted for 15 minutes to hyperosmotic stimuli (0.4M NaCl) and three separate cultures of strains kept under no stress condition.

Project description:Drought and salinity are most ubiquitous environmental factors that causing hyperosmotic threats to Sphingomonas and impairs their efficiency of performing environmental functions. However, bacteria have developed various responses and regulation systems to coping with these abiotic challenges. Among which post-transcriptional regulation plays vital roles in regulating gene expression and cellular homeostasis, as hyperosmotic stress conditions could lead to induction of specific small RNA (sRNA) that participates in stress response regulation. Here, we report a candidate functional sRNAs landscape of S. melonis which could help for comprehensive analyses of sRNA regulation in Sphingomonas species. WGCNA analysis revealed a 263 nt sRNA SNC251 which transcribed from its own promoter and shew the most dramatic correlation coefficient with hyperosmotic factors was characterized. An in vivo translation-reporter system constructed in this study revealed positive regulation and feedback mechanisms between the SNC251 and nicotine degradation genes. Deletion of snc251 affected multiple cellular processes and nicotine degradation capacity of S. melonis TY, while overexpression of SNC251 facilitated the biofilm formation capability of TY under hyperosmotic stress. Two genes of TonB system were further verified could be activated by SNC251, which also means SNC251 is a trans-acting small RNA. Briefly, this research reported a summary of sRNAs which participate in hyperosmotic stress response in S. melonis TY and revealed a novel sRNA SNC251 which is necessary for hyperosmotic stress response.
