In vitro and transcriptomic variation in Neisseria musculi morphotypes correlate with colonization variability and persistence in vivo

Project description:Asymptomatic colonization of the upper respiratory tract is a common trait of the two exclusive human pathogens, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. In vivo models of pathogenic neisserial infections are heterologous systems that permit short-term persistence but do not fully recapitulate infections in humans. Studying Neisseria musculi (Nmus), an oral commensal, in laboratory mice allows investigation of Neisseria-host interactions that avoids host restriction barriers. Nmus produces smooth and rough morphotypes on solid media. We compared the in vitro phenotypes, biofilm transcriptomes, and in vivo colonization patterns and burdens of the Nmus morphotypes. We observed that the two morphotypes differ in biofilm formation, aggregation, pilin production, and transformation frequency in vitro. These phenotypes strongly correlated with differential expression of a set of genes in the Nmus biofilms including those that encoded factors for bacterial attachment. In vivo, the smooth morphotype stably colonized the oral cavities of all inoculated A/J and C57BL/6J mice at higher burdens compared to the rough. Following nasal inoculations, we detected transient Nmus nasal colonization. The smooth morphotype was able to reach higher burdens more quickly in the nasal cavity and on oral swabs following dissemination to the oral cavity. Gut colonization burdens fluctuated over time. Interestingly, both morphotypes colonized the oral cavities of A/Js at higher magnitudes than in C57BL/6Js. Collectively, our results demonstrate that colonization by Nmus can be affected by various factors including Nmus morphotypes, inoculation routes, anatomical niches, and host backgrounds. The Nmus-mouse model can use variable morphotype-host combinations to study the dynamics of neisserial asymptomatic colonization and persistence in multiple extragenital niches.

Unveiling the Immune Dynamics of Neisseria Persistent Oral Colonization

Project description:Commensal bacteria are crucial in maintaining host physiological homeostasis, immune system development, and protection against pathogens. Despite their significance, the factors influencing persistent bacterial colonization and their impact on the host still need to be fully understood. Animal models have served as valuable tools to investigate these interactions, but most have limitations. The bacterial genus Neisseria, which includes both commensal and pathogenic species, has been studied from a pathogenicity to humans’ perspective, but lacks models that study immune responses in the context of long-term persistence. Neisseria musculi, a recently described natural commensal of mice, offers a unique opportunity to study long-term host-commensal interactions. In this study, for the first time we have used this model to study the transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional dynamics of immune cell signatures in the mucosal and systemic tissue of mice in response to Neisseria musculi colonization. We found key genes and pathways vital for immune homeostasis in palate tissue, validated by flow cytometry of immune cells from lung, blood and spleen. This study offers a novel avenue for advancing our understanding of host-bacteria dynamics and may provide a platform for developing efficacious interventions against mucosal persistence by pathogenic Neisseria.

Neisseria genes required for persistence identified via in vivo screening of a transposon mutant library

Project description:Species of the Neisseria genus harbor close relationships with their mamallian hosts, including humans. The outcome of these interactions can result in commensalism, asymptomatic carriage, or acute inflammatory responses. Little is known of the mechanisms Neisseria use to maintain and shape their host niche in the context of asymptomatic infection or long term commensal colonization and persistence. To identify novel host interaction factors contributing to host persistence, a Tn5 transposon library was created in Neisseria musculi, and inoculated into a permissive strain of laboratory mice (CAST/EiJ). At various time points post inoculation, transposon mutants were recovered from fecal and oral samples, and analyzed to identifiy mutants incapable of maintaining a host niche at either site.

Drought response in Piriqueta caroliniana hybrid and parental morphotypes

Project description:Closely related lineages can possess phenotypic variation important for adaptation and the evolution of new species; a phenomenon that can be more clearly elucidated by studying hybrid generations. We compare variation in gene expression in response to drought for two taxa and advanced-generation hybrids of the Piriqueta cistoides ssp. caroliniana complex that differ in their levels of tolerance to water limitation. Drought treatments lasted 36 days, through four cycles of drought. Gene expression in drought and control treatments was assessed using heterologous hybridization to a Glycine max microarray. There was a predominance of down-regulated genes in response to sustained drought in all morphotypes. This pattern was more pronounced in the hybrids, which can exhibit greater drought tolerance under field and greenhouse conditions than the parental morphotypes. Expression response profiles were more similar between the hybrid and the drought-tolerant parental morphotype than they were between the hybrid and the parental morphotype that occurs in more mesic habitats. Predominant down-regulation of gene expression contrasts with studies of response to short-term drought and with studies of drought-response in annual and non-drought-tolerant model species, and supports the results of a growing number of studies with other drought-tolerant perennial plants under prolonged drought. A total of 18 array hyridizations. Two conditions (drought and control), three morphotypes (caroliniana, viridis, and hybrid), for a total of 6 morphotype/treatment combinations. Three samples of each morphotypes/treatment combination were hybridized twice in dye swap in a loop design.

Type IV pilus retraction is required for <i>Neisseria musculi</i> colonization and persistence in a natural mouse model of infection.

Project description:ImportanceWe describe the importance of Type IV pilus retraction to colonization and persistence by a mouse commensal Neisseria, N. musculi, in its native host. Our findings have implications for the role of Tfp retraction in mediating interactions of human-adapted pathogenic and commensal Neisseria with their human host due to the relatedness of these species.
