Project description:(Part 1) Gene expression profiles of C. elegans in response to P. aeruginosa. Synchronized larval stage 1 (L1) worms were raised on E. coli OP50 for 72 hours. These synchronized young adult (YA) animals were subsequently exposed to P. aeruginosa PA14 for 4 hours. 25dC. (Part 2) Gene expression profiles of C. elegans in response to Neomycin/Streptomycin-mediated recovery after a 4 hour exposure to P. aeruginosa. Synchronized larval stage 1 (L1) worms were raised on E. coli OP50 for 72 hours. These synchronized young adult (YA) animals were subsequently exposed to P. aeruginosa PA14 for 4 hours and then treated with Neomycin and shifted to E. coli OP50 plus Streptomycin plates for 6, 12, or 24 hours to resolve the infection. As a control for Neomycin/Streptomycin exposure, synchronized larval stage 1 (L1) worms were raised on E. coli OP50 for 72 hours and either shifted to fresh E. coli OP50 plates for 6 hours or treated with Neomycin and shifted to E. coli OP50 plus Streptomycin plates for 6 hours. 25dC.

Project description:C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) encoding genes are highly diverse in C. elegans, comprising a clec gene family of 283 members. Since vertebrate CTLD proteins have characterized functions in defense responses against pathogens and since expression of C. elegans clec genes is pathogen-dependent, it is generally assumed that clec genes function in C. elegans immune defenses. In this study we challenged this assumption and focused on the C. elegans clec gene clec-4, whose expression is highly upregulated upon infection with various pathogens. We tested the involvement of clec-4 in the defense response to infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Bacillus thuringiensis BT18247, and the natural pathogen Serratia rubidaea MYb237. Contrary to our expectation clec-4(ok2050) mutant worms were not more susceptible to pathogen infection than wildtype worms. To explore potential redundant function between different C. elegans clec genes, we investigated expression of several clec-4 paralogs, finding that clec-4, clec-41, and clec-42 expression shows similar infection-dependent changes and co-localizes to the intestine. We found that only clec-42 is required for the C. elegans defense response to BT18247 infection and that clec-4 genetically interacts with clec-41 and clec-42. The exact role of clec-4 in pathogen defense responses however remains enigmatic. Our results further indicate that a complex interplay between different clec genes regulates C. elegans defense responses.

Project description:Traditional treatments for bacterial infection have focused upon directly inhibiting growth of the pathogen. However, an equally important determinant of infection outcome is the host defense response. We previously performed a high-throughput chemical screen to identify small molecules that rescued the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans from infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Over 20 of the hits stimulated host defense gene expression. During in-depth studies of five such molecules using microarray analysis, bioinformatic clustering, and RNAi knockdown of candidate gene targets, we identified PMK-1/p38 MAPK and SKN-1/Nrf2 as two key pathways modulated by these hits. Interestingly, the molecules studied did not depend on a single pathway for ameliorating P. aeruginosa pathogenesis in liquid-based assay, but did rely on the PMK-1/p38 MAPK pathway during a colonization-based infection assay on agar. A subset of these molecules was also protective against Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. In general, the compounds showed little toxicity against mammalian cells or worms, consistent with their identification in a phenotypic, high-content screen. These molecules possess significant potential for use as tools to study innate immune processes

Project description:Young adult fer-15;fem-1 Caenorhabditis elegans were infected with Staphylococcus aureus for 8 h to determine the transcriptional host response to Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of differential gene expression in C. elegans young adults exposed to two different bacteria: E. coli strain OP50 (control), wild-type Staphylococcus aureus RN6390. Samples were analyzed at 8 hours after exposure to the different bacteria. These studies identified C. elegans genes induced by pathogen infection.
