Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) serve key proposed roles in defending the urinary tract against invading uropathogens, but individual AMPs bearing greatest responsibility for these functions remain largely unknown. We identified RegIIIγ as the most transcriptionally upregulated AMP in bladder transcriptomes following uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection. We confirmed induction of RegIIIγ mRNA during cystitis and pyelonephritis by quantitative RT-PCR. Immunoblotting demonstrates increased bladder and urinary RegIIIγ protein levels following UPEC infection. Immunostaining localizes RegIIIγ protein to urothelial cells of infected bladders and kidneys. Human patients with cystitis and pyelonephritis exhibit increased urine levels of the orthologous HIP/PAP protein. Recombinant RegIIIγ protein does not demonstrate bactericidal activity toward UPEC in vitro, but does kill Staphylococcus saprophyticus in a dose-dependent manner. RegIIIγ knockout and control urinary tracts contain comparable bacterial burden following experimental inoculation of UPEC as well as Gram-positive uropathogens. Thus, while RegIIIγ and HIP/PAP expression occurs in human and murine UTI, their specific functions in the urinary tract remain uncertain.

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome, estrogen and antimicrobial peptides have all been emphasised to have a vital role in the protection of the bladder urothelium. However, the interdependence between these protective factors during a bladder infection is currently unknown. Our aim was to investigate the role of NLRP3 in regulation of antimicrobial peptides and estrogen signaling in bladder epithelial cells during a UPEC infection. Human bladder epithelial cells and CRISPR/Cas9 generated NLRP3-deficient cells were stimulated with the UPEC strain CFT073 and estradiol. The gene and protein expression were evaluated with microarray, qRT-PCR, western blot and ELISA. Microarray results showed that the expression of most antimicrobial peptides was reduced in CFT073-infected NLRP3-deficient cells compared to Cas9 control cells. Conditioned medium from NLRP3-deficient cells also lost the ability to suppress CFT073 growth. Moreover, NLRP3-deficient cells had lower basal release of Beta-defensin-1, Beta-defensin-2 and RNase7. The ability of estradiol to induce an increased expression of antimicrobial peptides was also abrogated in NLRP3-deficient cells. The decreased antimicrobial peptide expression might be linked to the observed reduced expression and activity of estradiol receptor beta in NLRP3-deficient cells. This study suggests that NLRP3 may regulate the release and expression of antimicrobial peptides and affect estrogen signaling in bladder epithelial cells.

Project description:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI). UPEC normally reside in the intestine, and during establishment of UTI, it undergoes metabolic adaptations, first to urine and then upon tissue invasion to the bladder cell interior. In order to understand these adaptations, we used quantitative proteomic profiling to characterize protein expression of UPEC strain UTI89 growing in human urine and when inside J82 bladder cells. In order to facilitate detection of UPEC proteins over the excess amount of eukaryotic proteins in bladder cells, we developed a method where proteins from UTI89 grown in MOPS and urine was spiked-in to enhance detection of bacterial proteins. More than 2000 E. coli proteins were detected. During growth in urine, proteins associated with iron acquisition and several amino acid uptake and biosynthesis systems, in particular arginine metabolism, were significantly upregulated. During growth in J82 cells, proteins related to iron uptake and arginine metabolisms were upregulated together with proteins involved in sulphur compound turnover. Results suggested that UPEC experience a richer environment in bladder cells compared to urine. There was no direct correlation between upregulated proteins and proteins reported to be essential for infections, showing that upregulation during growth does not signify that the proteins are essential for growth under a condition.

Project description:Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common and recurrent. Both host genetics and UTI history impact susceptibility to recurrent UTI (rUTI) in women and in animal models. To identify shared patterns of host response that correlate with susceptibility, we investigated bladder inflammatory and transcriptional kinetics in acute and rUTI models. We found that TNFɑ signaling kinetics differed with mouse strain and infection history. Mice resistant to severe UTI/rUTI displayed a robust TNFɑ-dependent inflammation during the first 6 hours of acute cystitis, which waned by 24 hours; mice that are susceptible varied in their early responses but were prone to severe inflammation at 24 hours post-infection. Depletion of TNFɑ in an rUTI model revealed that early TNFɑ signaling promoted colonization resistance via exfoliation of infected bladder cells, but prolonged TNFɑ signaling exacerbated inflammation, thereby worsening infection. Host genetics and disease history impacts susceptibility by regulating the kinetics of a common TNFɑ pathway.

Project description:Urinary tract infection (UTI) significantly impacts people with diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance, the primary abnormality leading to Type 2 diabetes, is defined by inefficient insulin receptor signaling. In the kidney, insulin receptor deletion in intercalated cells increases UTI susceptibility. Here, we use RNA sequencing to profile the transcriptomes of enriched intercalated cell and neighboring principal cell populations from mice with intercalated cell-specific insulin receptor deletion and compare expression profiles to wild-type mice. We also establish unique intercalated cell and principal cell cultures to assess the functional impact of insulin receptor deletion. Transcriptomic analysis and culture models demonstrate intercalated cells with insulin receptor deletion are more susceptible to uropathogenic Escherichia coli infection and have suppressed integrated stress responses. They also show the integrated stress response is necessary to activate NFkB-mediated immune responses. When NFkB is silenced, intercalated cells do not activate innate immune responses, including the production of antimicrobial peptides, which increases infection susceptibility.

Project description:Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common pediatric condition that predisposes children to renal damage after urinary tract infection (UTI). We profiled the urinary proteome of VUR patients with recurrent UTI and renal scarring to identify potential biomarkers characterizing this condition. Urine was obtained from 22 age-matched controls and 22 patients with low grade VUR (1-3 out of 5), renal scarring, and history of recurrent UTI. Proteins extracted from these samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry for protein identification and quantitation for comparison.
