Project description:Our group recently transcriptomically characterized coculture growth between Streptococcus mutans and several species of commensal streptococci (Rose et al, 2023). However, these experiments were carried out in our lab-based experimental medium, tryptone and yeast extract (TY-). To understand whether culturing these species within a medium that more closely mimics their natural environment alters the interaction, we evaluated both monoculture and coculture growth between the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans and oral commensal species Streptococcus oralis in a half TY- / half human saliva mix that was optimally chosen based on our initial characterization of oral streptococci behaviors in medium mixes containing saliva. Our results surprising show that inclusion of saliva enhances the competition of Streptococcus mutans against commensal streptococci through upregulation of carbohydrate uptake and glycolytic pathways.

Project description:Oral streptococci, including Streptococcus gordonii, and Actinomyces naeslundii, are consistently found to be the most abundant bacteria in the early stages of dental plaque accumulation. These organisms interact physically (coaggregate) in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that coaggregation between S. gordonii and A. naeslundii leads to changes in gene expression in the partner organisms. Furthermore, we predicted that coaggregation-induced changes in phenotype contribute to the success of streptococci and actinomyces in dental plaque. To assess the responses of S. gordonii to coaggregation with A. naeslundii, RNA was extracted from S. gordonii cells 3 h after inducing coaggregation with A. naeslundii or from equivalent S. gordonii monocultures. The two RNA populations were reverse transcribed and compared by competitive hybridization with an S. gordonii genomic microarray. The most striking feature of the response to coaggregation was a profound change in expression of S. gordonii genes involved in arginine biosynthesis and transport. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that coaggregation with A. naeslundii stabilizes arginine biosynthesis in S. gordonii and enables growth under low-arginine conditions, such as those present in human saliva.

Project description:Our group recently transcriptomically characterized coculture growth between Streptococcus mutans and several species of commensal streptococci (Rose et al, 2023; Choi et al 2024). One interaction that stood out was with Streptococcus mitis ATCC 49456, which completely inhibited the growth of S. mutans during biofilm formation. This is due to abudant hydrogen peroxide production by S. mitis ATCC 49456, 3-5x higher than other oral commensal streptococci we have worked with. To understand how the transcriptome of S. mutans is modified in coculture with a high hydrogen peroxide producer, we evaluated the transcriptome during monoculture or coculture growth between the two strains. Our results show differential gene expression (DEGs) in S. mutans that follows other trends we have documented previously with other commensal Streptococcus species, as well as DEGs specific to the interaction with S. mitis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Hundreds of bacterial species coexist within the human oral cavity, where complex interactions can occur. Recent evidence has shown that the commensal oral streptococci that populate supragingival biofilms on the tooth surface produce extracellular proteases that degrade cell-cell signaling molecules of their disease-causing competitors, Streptococcus mutans. To further explore these interactions, we performed transcriptome analysis of S. mutans cocultured with different oral streptococci and found that cell-cell signaling was complety inhibited, but only when the bacteria were directly cocultured together. METHODS: RNA-Seq was utilized to compare the transcriptomes of S. mutans wild-type strain UA159 cocultured in its own supernatant (3 replicates), UA159 cocultured in S. sp. A12 supernatant (3 replicates) and directly cocultured with S. sp. A12 (3 replicates). Strains were grown to OD600 nm = 0.5 in CDM medium before harvest. Deep sequencing was performed at the University of Florida ICBR facilities (Gainesville, FL). Approximately 15 million short-reads were obtained for each sample. After removing adapter sequences from each short-read and trimming of the 3’-ends by quality scores, the resulting sequences were mapped onto the reference genome of strain UA159 (GenBank accession no. AE014133) using the short-read aligner. Mapped short-read alignments were then converted into readable formats using SAMTOOLS. RESULTS: Using an optimzed data analysis workflow, we mapped 13-16 million reads per sample to the genome of UA159. For viewing of the mapped reads aligned to the genome, .bam files were uploaded into the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV – version 2.3.55). A .csv file containing raw read counts for each replicate (3) was then uploaded to Degust (http://degust.erc.monash.edu/) and edgeR analysis performed to determine Log2 fold change and a false discovery rate (FDR). When comparing the growth of S. mutans in its own spent supernatant against competitor spent supernatants, we found 88 genes differentially expressed (Log2 fold change > (-)1.5, -log10 P-value > 4) which included upregulation of the zinc transport system and several amino acid ABC transporters, along with downregulation of the TnSmu1 genomic island. A more substantial effect was seen when we compared growth of S. mutans in competitor spent supernatant compared to growth directly with a competitor. Here, 140 genes were differentially expressed and included upregulation of one of the CRISPR genetic clusters as well as downregulation of the entire genetic competence regulon, as expected. Principal component analysis (PCA) of transcriptome data from these three conditions displayed a wide variation and separation among the tested groups, further confirming a unique transcriptome response for S. mutans between growth in the supernatant of a competitor and directly with a competitor. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that these measured transcriptomic changes represent a conserved S. mutans response to competitors that has not been previously captured in RNA-Seq experiments of monocultures alone. Together, these results highlight a previously undocumented transcriptomic alteration by S. mutans when challenged by health-associated oral streptococci.

Project description:Streptococcus sanguinis is a major component of the oral flora and an important cause of infective endocarditis. The genome sequence of S. sanguinis strain SK36 was recently determined. A number of foreign genes acquired by natural transformation were detected, as well as orthologs of competence genes previously identified in other species. However, significant differences in the S. sanguinis competence system relative to that of other streptococci were noted. We sought to examine S. sanguinis genetic competence, to characterize the global transcriptional response to competence induction, and to compare our results with those obtained from previous analyses of other streptococci. A mutant possessing an in-frame deletion in the comC gene encoding the competence-stimulating peptide was created and confirmed to have the expected phenotype. Studies indicated that competence could be induced in this strain by addition of competence-stimulating peptide, and determined the optimal conditions to employ for this purpose. Expression was monitored by microarray analysis at multiple time points from 2.5 to 30 min after induction. Over 200 genes were identified whose expression was altered at least two-fold in at least one time point, with the majority upregulated. The “late” response was typical of that seen in previous studies. However, comparison of the “early” response in S. sanguinis with that of other streptococci revealed unexpected heterogeneity with regard to the number of genes induced, the nature of these genes, and their putative upstream regulatory sequences. S. sanguinis possesses a comparatively limited early response, which may define a minimal competence regulatory circuit.

Project description:Oral biofilms, comprising hundreds of bacteria and other microorganisms on oral mucosal and dental surfaces, play a central role in oral health and disease dynamics. Streptococcus oralis, a key constituent of these biofilms, contribute significantly to their formation, serving as an early colonizer and microcolony scaffold. The interaction between S. oralis and the orally predominant mucin, MUC5B, is pivotal in biofilm development, yet the mechanism underlying MUC5B degradation remains poorly understood. This study introduces MdpS (Mucin Degrading Protease from Streptococcus oralis), a protease that extensively hydrolyses MUC5B and offers an insight into its sequence homology, physicochemical properties, and substrate- and amino acid specificity. MdpS exhibits high sequence conservation within the species and also explicitly among early biofilm colonizing streptococci. It is characterized as a calcium or magnesium dependent serine protease with strict physicochemical preferences, including narrow pH and temperature tolerance, and high sensitivity to increased sodium chloride and reducing agent concentrations. Furthermore, MdpS primarily hydrolyze proteins with O-glycans, but also show activity towards immunoglobulins IgA1/2 and IgM, suggesting potential immunomodulatory effects. Significantly, MdpS extensively degrades MUC5B in the N- and C-terminal domains, emphasizing its role in mucin degradation with implications in carbon and nitrogen sequestration for S. oralis with a potential function by cross-feeding the oral biofilm. Moreover, the enzyme displays amino acid preferences of serine, threonine or cysteine depending on substrate glycosylation. Understanding the interplay between S. oralis and MUC5B, facilitated by MdpS, has significant implications for the management of a healthy eubiotic oral microenvironment, offering potential targets for interventions aimed at modulating oral biofilm composition and succession. Additionally, the MdpS data challenges the presently acknowledged model of MUC5B degradation, because contrarily MdpS does not necessitate O-glycan removal prior to extensive peptide backbone hydrolysis. These findings emphasize the necessity for further research in this field.

Keywords: Cell-cell interaction The S. gordonii microarrays consist of 2195 70-mer oligonucleotides representing 2151 open reading frames, each repeated six times on the array. Chemically defined medium (CDM), was based in Tereleckyj’s FMC with minor modifications (Jakubovics et al., 2008). For coaggregate cultures, concentrated suspensions of S. gordonii DL1 (Challis) and A. naeslundii MG1 in CDM were mixed, vortexed and diluted to 1 x 108 cfu/ml. Monocultures were set up identically, except that A. naeslundii cells were omitted. Cultures were incubated at 37oC for 3 h prior to harvesting and extraction of total RNA. Purified RNA was reverse transcribed and cDNAs were labelled with Cy3 or Cy5 dye. cDNAs from coaggregate cultures and from S. gordonii monocultures were competitively hybridized with the S. gordonii microarray. Three independent sets of cultures were used, and flip dye pairs were included for two of the biological replicates (ie 5 hybridizations in total). In control experiments, cDNA derived from A.naeslundii monocultures did not hybridize with the S. gordonii microarrays. Data represent the ratios of gene expression in coaggregated S. gordonii compared with S. gordonii monocultured cells.
