Project description:C. albicans is a dimorphic yeast which can switch from budding yeast and to hyphal forms and this property is essential for biofilm establishment and maturation. C. albicans undergoes this yeast-to-hyphal switch in response to high CO2. The purpose of this study is to use RNA-seq to investigate pathways whose genes are differentially expressed when C. albicans biofilms are grown in a physiologically relevant elevated (5%) CO2 environment compared to a low/atmospheric (0.03%) CO2 environment. We report that in C.albicans biofilms grown under 5% CO2 conditions, genes controlled by core biofilm regulatory transcription factors such as Brg1, Efg1, Ndt80, and Bcr1 are overall expressed at significantly higher levels compared to those grown in 0.03% CO2 conditions. We find that genes encoding glucose and amino acid transporters, as well as genes previously found to be involved in the response to Ketoconazole treatment, are significantly upregulated in 5% CO2 C. albicans biofilms. Overall, these data suggest a high CO2 environment enhances biofilm formation of C. albicans and may also increase antifungal tolerance of such biofilms.

Project description:Candida albicans is a commensal yeast within the human microbiota with significant medical importance because of its pathogenic potential. The yeast produces biofilms, which are highly resistant to available antifungals. High level of antifungal resistance by C. albicans biofilms has resulted in the need for alternative treatment. Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid has been reported to increase the susceptibility of C. albicans biofilms to azole. However, the underlining mechanism is unknown. To unravel the mechanism behind this phenomenon, identification of differentially regulated genes in C. albicans biofilms grown in the presence of arachidonic acid, fluconazole, and the combination of both compounds was conducted using RNAseq.

Project description:The interaction of clinically relevant microorganisms is the focus of various studies, e.g. the interaction between the pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, and the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and these interactions can alter the outcome of infection, growth dynamics of each species and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens. During infection, both C. albicans and P. aeruginosa can elicit the release arachidonic acid (AA) from host cells membranes through the action of phospholipases. This polyunsaturated fatty acid can be transformed into immune-modulating compounds, termed eicosanoids, by both host-derived and microbial-derived enzymatic reactions. In its free form, AA can affect the growth of both C. albicans and P. aeruginosa, inhibiting the morphogenesis of C. albicans as well as reducing resistance towards antifungal agents. However, the mechanism of this is unknown. Previous studies on the effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids have indicated a possible alteration in plasma membrane organisation and permeability. Our group aimed to address how AA affects C. albicans in both single species biofilms, as well as in polymicrobial biofilms with P. aeruginosa. RNAseq was performed on single and polymicrobial biofilms in the presence and absence of a sub-inhibitory (100 µM) concentration of AA. Differential expression was determined between C. albicans single species biofilms in the presence and absence of AA. Secondly, the influence of co-incubation of C. albicans with P. aeruginosa in the absence of AA was evaluated to identify novel facets of interaction not previously identified, and to establish a baseline to determine the effect of AA on C. albicans in polymicrobial biofilms. Lastly, the effect of AA on C. albicans in polymicrobial biofilms was determined through comparison with polymicrobial biofilms in the absence of AA. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the effect of AA and both co-incubation of C. albicans with P. aeruginosa focused on the transcriptome.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. albicans in biofilms after 90 min of adherence or 8 h, 24 h, or 48 h of development; compared to C. albicans in suspension cultures grown to log at 30 deg or 37 deg or grown to stationary phase at 30 deg or collected from the unadhered cells in the biofilm assay.

Project description:The regulatory mechanisms during biofilm aging were determined using RNA-seq of C. albicans biofilms from three time points. The role of oxygen was investigated by comparing normoxic and hypoxic grown biofilms. Since nutrient uptake is important during biofilm maturation, the transcriptome of a stp2Δ strain lacking proper amino acid uptake was compared to the wild-type parent strain.

Project description:To explain enhanced biofilm formation and increased dissemination of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms, microarrays were used to explore differential gene expression of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms. One sample from single species biofilm (S1) and mixed-species biofilm (SC2) were excluded from analyses for outliers. We observed upregulation (2.7%) and down regulation (6%) of S. epidermidis genes in mixed-species biofilms. Autolysis repressors lrgA and lrgB were down regulated 36-fold and 27-fold respectively and was associated with increased eDNA possibly due to enhanced autolysis in mixed-species biofilms. These data suggest that bacterial autolysis and release of eDNA in the biofilm matrix may be responsible for enhancement and dissemination of mixed-species biofilms of S. epidermidis and C. albicans. Staphylococcal gene expression in mixed-species biofilms with Candida and in single species biofilms of S. epidermidis were analyzed. The experiment was repeated thrice on 3 different days (3 biological replicates each for single species biofilms of S. epidermidis and mixed-species biofilms). Only 2 biological replicates were analyzed and one biological replicate was not analyzed (S1 and SC1 - raw data files are provided on the Series record). Single species biofilms of S. epidermidis (strain 1457) and C. albicans (strain 32354) and mixed-species biofilms were formed on 6-well tissue culture plates. Five ml of organism suspensions (O.D. 0.3, S. epidermidis 107 CFU/ml or C. albicans 105 CFU/ml) or 2.5 ml each for mixed-species biofilms for 24 hr. RNA was harvested from single species and mixed-species biofilms.

Project description:The principal opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans forms biofilms resistant to antifungal therapeutics. Biofilms are a class of soft matter with viscoelastic properties and response to flow, but little is known regarding the genes contributing to these rheological phenotypes in fungal biofilms. Here, we identify C. albicans genes with deletion phenotypes of altered biofilm viscoelasticity. We analyzed mutants deleted for genes contributing to cell wall structure or extracellular matrix (ECM) production, and we identified increased elastic moduli, indicative of higher viscoelasticity, in strains singly deleted for PMR1, KRE5, and ALG11. PMR1 encodes a secretory pathway calcium pump. KRE5 encodes a UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase, and ALG11 encodes alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase. These mutants form less biofilm ECM by weight relative to wild type when cultured on agar. For these strains, biofilm morphology is smooth, with reduced hyphal formation. The mutants exhibit decreased resistance to the antifungal agent fluconazole relative to wild type biofilm cultures. To identify intracellular changes underlying these altered rheological properties, we globally profiled transcript levels in the respective mutants. Genes encoding membrane proteins were enriched in the set of transcripts differentially abundant in the alg11 deletion mutant. RNA levels are altered for genes associated with translation in the pmr1 deletion mutant and protein catabolism in the kre5 deletion strain. Genes involved in lipid metabolism and filamentous development are differentially expressed in cells from alg11, kre5, and pmr1 deletion mutant biofilms. Collectively, the data indicate C. albicans biofilm rheology as a phenotype affected by ECM production and cell morphology, while identifying genes for the investigation of mechanisms underlying properties of fungal biofilm viscoelasticity.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans cells grown under planktonic and biofilm-inducing conditions, comparing SN76 and sfl1Δ/sfl1Δ strains. Goal was to study the effect of SFL1 deletion on the transcriptomic profile of C. albicans planktonic and biofilm cells under acidic conditions, in order to reveal the function of the Sfl1 transcription factor in C. albicans biofilm development.
