Genome-Wide Screens Identify Group A Streptococcus Surface Proteins Promoting Female Genital Tract Colonization and Virulence.

Project description:Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a major pathogen that impacts health and economic affairs worldwide. Although the oropharynx is the primary site of infection, GAS can colonize the female genital tract and cause severe diseases, such as puerperal sepsis, neonatal infections, and necrotizing myometritis. Our understanding of how GAS genes contribute to interaction with the primate female genital tract is limited by the lack of relevant animal models. Using two genome-wide transposon mutagenesis screens, we identified 69 GAS genes required for colonization of the primate vaginal mucosa in vivo and 96 genes required for infection of the uterine wall ex vivo. We discovered a common set of 39 genes important for GAS fitness in both environments. They include genes encoding transporters, surface proteins, transcriptional regulators, and metabolic pathways. Notably, the genes that encode the surface-exclusion protein (SpyAD) and the immunogenic secreted protein 2 (Isp2) were found to be crucial for GAS fitness in the female primate genital tract. Targeted gene deletion confirmed that isogenic mutant strains ΔspyAD and Δisp2 are significantly impaired in ability to colonize the primate genital tract and cause uterine wall pathologic findings. Our studies identified novel GAS genes that contribute to female reproductive tract interaction that warrant translational research investigation.

Transcriptome profiling of endometrial biopsies inflammatory response to Chlamydia trachomatis genital tract infection

Project description:Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium that frequently causes an asymptomatic genital tract infection, gradually cleared by host immunity Transcriptome profiles were made of endometrial tissue from women with or without genital tract C. trachomatis infection, to characterize host responses to infection. Profiles showed that infection polarized host defense toward Type 2 immune responses. Responses included fibrin deposition, enhanced wound repair, and tissue remodeling. Trans-cervical endometrial biopsy specimens were collected from 10 women with no identified upper or lower genital tract infection and 12 women with C. trachomatis endometrial infection.

Distinct Roles of Chromosome- versus Plasmid-Encoded Genital Tract Virulence Factors in Promoting Chlamydia muridarum Colonization in the Gastrointestinal Tract.

Project description:The genital pathogen Chlamydia is known to colonize the gastrointestinal tract. Orally delivered Chlamydia muridarum can reach the colon and maintain a long-lasting colonization there. However, C. muridarum with mutations in chromosomal genes tc0237 and tc0668 (designated a chromosomal mutant) or deficient in plasmid-encoded pGP3 (designated a plasmid mutant) is unable to do so. We now report that the chromosomal mutant is still able to reach the colon while the plasmid mutant fails to do so following an oral delivery, suggesting that lack of colon colonization by different mutants may involve distinct mechanisms. Consistently, a direct intracolonic delivery selectively restored the ability of the plasmid mutant, but not the chromosomal mutant, to colonize the colon. The chromosomal mutant was rescued only in the colon of mice deficient in gamma interferon (IFN-γ). Thus, the chromosomal mutant's deficiency in colonizing colonic mucosal tissue is likely due to its increased susceptibility to IFN-γ-mediated immunity. Furthermore, IFN-γ deficiency was sufficient for rescuing colon colonization of an orally delivered chromosomal mutant but not plasmid mutant while mice deficient in gastric acid production rescued the plasmid mutant but not the chromosomal mutant. Both mutants are attenuated in inducing genital tract pathology. Thus, we propose that chlamydial chromosomal-gene-encoded genital tract virulence factors may be essential for Chlamydia to maintain long-lasting colonization in the colon while the plasmid may enable Chlamydia to reach the colon by promoting evasion of gastric barriers.

Genetic heterogeneity of the Spy1336/R28 – Spy1337 virulence axis in Streptococcus pyogenes and effect on gene transcript levels and pathogenesis

Project description:Purpose: We used RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptomes of serotype M28 S. pyogenes deletion and SNP isogenic mutants strains. We discovered that changes in the number of T residues in a homopolymeric tract located upstream of the divergently transcribed Spy1336/R28 and Spy1337 genes affected global gene expression and virulence. We performed RNA-seq comparing isogenic mutants grown in vitro containing either 9 or 11Ts, and isogenic deletion mutants, deleted for gene Spy1337, and deleted for both, Spy1336 and Spy1337. Methods: We grew isogenic strains in rich media, and collected samples in triplicate at both mid-exponential (ME) and early stationary (ES) phase to perform RNA-seq analysis. Quality of the total RNA, rRNA-depleted RNA, and cDNA libraries was evaluated with RNA Nano, RNA Pico, and DNA high-sensitivity kits (Agilent Technologies, respectively, using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. For each sample, the cDNA library concentration was measured fluorometrically with Qubit™ dsDNA HS assay kits (Invitrogen). The cDNA libraries were diluted, pooled, and sequenced with an Illumina NextSeq 550 instrument
