Project description:While persistence in a dormant state is crucial for the life cycle of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, no investigation regarding dormancy survival of different strains across different lineages was performed so far. We analyzed responses to oxygen starvation and recovery in terms of growth, metabolism and transcription. All different strains belonging to the (Euro-American) lineage (L4) showed similar survival and resuscitation characteristics. Different clinical isolates from the Beijing (L2) , East African-Indian (L3), and Delhi/Central Asian (L1) did not survive oxygen starvation. We show that dormancy survival is lineage-dependent. Recovery from O2 starvation was observed in Euro-American (L4) but no other used strains (L1, L2, L3). Thus, resuscitation from dormancy after oxygen starvation is not a general feature of all M. tuberculosis strains as thought before. Our findings are of key importance to understand infection dynamics of non-Euro American vs Euro American strains and to develop drugs targeting the dormant state.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, a disease that affects one-third of the world’s population. The sole extant vaccine for tuberculosis is the live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG). We examined 13 representative BCG strains from around the world to ascertain their ability to express DosR-regulated dormancy antigens. These are known to be recognized by T-cells of M. tuberculosis infected individuals, especially those harboring latent infections. Differences in expression of these antigens could be valuable for use as diagnostic markers to distinguish BCG vaccination from latent tuberculosis. We determined that all BCG strains were defective for induction of two dormancy genes, narK2 (Rv1737c) and narX (Rv1736c). NarK2 is known to be necessary for nitrate respiration during anaerobic dormancy. Analysis of the narK2/X promoter region revealed a base substitution mutation in all tested BCG strains and M. bovis in comparison to the M. tuberculosis sequence. We also show that nitrate reduction by BCG strains during dormancy was greatly reduced compared to M. tuberculosis and varied between tested strains. Several dormancy regulon transcriptional differences were also identified among the strains, as well as variation in their growth and survival. These findings demonstrate defects in DosR regulon expression during dormancy and phenotypic variation between commonly used BCG vaccine strains. 12 different BCG strains were examined as well as M. tuberculosis H37Rv and M. bovis. Two arrays per strain were analyzed, one with the addition of nitric oxide and the other utilizing hypoxia treatment, both conditions shown to induce expression of the dormancy regulon. The reference sample for each array was log phase M. tuberculosis H37Rv.

Project description:Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains a huge global public health problem. One striking characteristic of Mtb is its ability to adapt to hypoxia, and thus ensuing transition to dormant state for persistent infection, but how the hypoxia responses of Mtb is regulated remains largely unknown. Here, we performed a quantitative acetylome analysis to compare the acetylation profile of Mtb under aeration and hypoxia, and showed that 377 acetylation sites in 269 proteins of Mtb were significantly change under hypoxia. Especially, deacetylation of Dormancy Survival Regulator (DosR) at K182 promoted the hypoxia response of Mtb and enhanced transcription of DosR-targeted genes. Mechanistically, recombinant DosRK182R protein demonstrated enhanced DNA-binding activity in comparison with DosRK182Q protein. Moreover, Rv0998 was identified as an acetyltransferase that mediates the acetylation of DosR at K182. Deletion of Rv0998 also promoted the adaption of Mtb to hypoxia and transcription of DosR-targeted genes. Mice infected with Mtb strain containing acetylation-defective DosRK182R or lacking Rv0998 had much lower bacterial counts, and less severe histopathological impairments compared with those infected with the wild-type strain. Our findings suggest that hypoxia induces the deacetylation of DosR, which in turn increases its DNA binding ability to promote the transcription of target genes, allowing Mtbto transit to dormancy under hypoxia.

Project description:Dormancy is an essential biological process for the propagation of many life forms through generations and stressful conditions. Early embryos of many mammals are preservable for weeks to months within the uterus under dormancy, which can be induced in vitro through mTOR inhibition. Dormancy features silencing of the genome and abundant heterochromatin formation, which conflicts with the permissive and uncommitted genomic profile of pluripotent cells. Cellular strategies to maintain pluripotency in the fate of this conflict are not known. Here we probed chromatin regulation during embryonic stem cells’ (ESC) entry into dormancy to identify mechanisms that ensure faithful propagation of cellular identity through dormancy. We show a global increase in DNA methylation and loss of chromatin accessibility in dormant ESCs and find that TET DNA demethylases are essential to counteract this trend at key pluripotency regulatory elements, particularly at young LINE1 repeats and active enhancers. Demethylation of these targets by TETs is essential for transcription factor (TF) recruitment and transient chromatin decondensation before hypercompaction. We propose that key regulatory elements are bookmarked coordinately by TETs and TFs in dormancy for maintenance of cellular identity. Perturbation of TET activity compromises embryo survival through dormancy; whereas its enhancement improves survival rates. Our results reveal the first essential chromatin regulator in establishing mammalian embryonic dormancy and pave the way to building its temporal regulatory code in embryonic and adult tissues.

Project description:These data represent the expression patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in progressive hypoxia, nutrient depletion, and in-vivo hollow fiber models of dormancy. The assumptions are that the set of genes that respond to INH treatment during Log phase growth would not be differentially regulated during INH treatment in the dormancy models, and that the overall number of differentially regulated genes would be reduced do to the low metabolic state of the cells.
