Project description:The microarray data provided here belong to a study that describes two different Shiga toxin (Stx) induced models of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in mice. Although several rodent models of HUS were published, it still remains difficult to reproduce all clinical features of human HUS. Here, two different Stx2 regimes combined with volume resuscitation were tested in C57BL/6J wild type mice. Animals were euthanized because of kidney injury after 3 or 7 days respectively. Kidneys were removed for histological evaluation and RNA extraction. Kidney injury was confirmed histologically and by laboratory parameters in plasma. Data for the respective vehicle treated groups are also provided here.

Project description:We have used RNA sequencing to compare transcriptomes of 30 stx2a and eae positive STEC strains of non-O157 serogroups isolated from children < 5 years of age. The strains were from children with HUS (HUS group, n=15), and children with asymptomatic or mild disease (non-HUS group, n=15), either induced with mitomycin C or non-induced, to reveal potential differences in gene expression levels between groups. When the HUS and non-HUS group were compared for differential expression of protein-encoding gene families, 399 of 6119 gene families were differentially expressed (log2 fold change ≥ 1, FDR < 0.05) in the non-induced condition, whereas only one gene family was differentially expressed in the induced condition. Gene ontology and cluster analysis showed that several fimbrial operons, as well as a putative type VI secretion system (T6SS) were more highly expressed in the HUS group than in the non-HUS group, indicating a role of these in the virulence of STEC strains causing severe disease.

Project description:Purpose: In this work, we evaluated the role of two indicative species, Citrobacter werkmanii (CW) and Escherichia albertii (EA), in the virulence of two DEC pathotypes, Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) Escherichia coli. Methods: To determine the effect of supernatant obtained from CW and EA cultures in STEC strain 86-24 and EAEC strain 042 gene expression, a RNA-seq analysis was performed. T84 cells were infected with DEC strains in the presence or absence of supernatant from EA and IL-8 secretion was evaluated. The effect of supernatant from EA on the growth and adherence of STEC and EAEC to T84 cells was also evaluated. Finally, we studied the participation of long polar fimbriae (Lpf) in STEC and plasmid-encoded toxin (Pet) in EAEC during DEC infection in the presence of supernatant from EA. Results: RNA-seq analysis revealed that several virulence factors in STEC and EAEC were up-regulated in the presence of supernatants from CW and EA. Interestingly, an increase in the secretion of IL-8 was observed in T84 cells infected with STEC or EAEC in the presence of a supernatant from EA. Similar results were observed with the supernatants obtained from clinical strains of E. albertii. Supernatant from EA had no effect on the growth of STEC and EAEC, or on the ability of these DEC strains to adhere to intestinal epithelial cells. Finally, we found that Pet toxin in EAEC was up-regulated in the presence of a supernatant from EA. In STEC, using mutant strains for Lpf fimbriae, our data suggested that these fimbriae might be participating in the increase of IL-8 induced by STEC on intestinal epithelial cells in the presence of a supernatant from EA. Conclusion:Supernatant obtained from an indicative species of DEC-positive diarrhea could modulate gene expression in STEC and EAEC, and IL-8 secretion induced by these bacteria. These data provide new insights into the effect of gut microbiota species in the pathogenicity of STEC and EAEC.

Project description:Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli is significant human pathogen that causes disease ranging from haemorrhagic colitis to haemolytic uremic syndrome. The later can lead to potentially fatal renal failure and is caused by the release of Shiga toxins that are encoded within lambdoid bacteriophages. The toxins are encoded within the late transcript of the phage and are regulated by anti-termination of the PR’ late promoter during lytic induction of the phage. During lysogeny, the late transcript is prematurely terminated at tR’ immediately downstream of PR’, generating a short RNA that is a by-product of anti-termination regulation. We demonstrate that this short transcript binds the small RNA chaperone Hfq, and is processed into a stable 74 nt regulatory small RNA that we have termed, StxS. StxS activates expression of the general stress response sigma factor, RpoS, through direct interactions with an activating seed sequence within the 5’ UTR. StxS represses expression of Shiga toxin 1 and activation of RpoS promotes high cell density growth under nutrient limiting conditions. Many phages utilise anti-termination to regulate the lytic/lysogenic switch and our results demonstrate that short RNAs generated as a by-product of this regulation can acquire regulatory small RNA features and modulate host fitness.

Project description:The human intestinal microbiota associated with rats produces in vivo a soluble(s) factor(s) that down-regulates the expression of genes encoding for the Shiga toxin II in E. coli O157:H7. The Shiga toxin II is one of the major virulence factors of E. coli enterohemorragic leading to the deadly hemolitic and uremic syndrome. Investigation of the effect of the human intestinal microbiota on the whole transcriptome of EHEC O157:H7 is of major importance to increase our understanding of the pathogen transcriptomic adaptation in response to the human microbiota. We analysed by microarray hybridization the gene expression pattern of EHEC O157:H7 grown in the caecal content of germ-free rats or rats associated with the human microbiota of a healthy human subject. By doing so, we increased our understanding of the regulatory activities of the human gut microbiota on E. coli O157:H7

Project description:Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is a notorious foodborne pathogen capable of causing severe gastrointestinal infections in humans. The bovine rectoanal junction (RAJ) has been identified as a primary reservoir of STEC O157:H7, playing a critical role in its transmission to humans through contaminated food sources. Despite the relevance of this host-pathogen interaction, the molecular mechanisms behind the adaptation of STEC O157:H7 in the bovine RAJ and its subsequent infection of human colonic epithelial cells remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to unravel the intricate dynamics of STEC O157:H7 in two distinct host environments: bovine RAJ squamous epithelial (RSE) cells and human colonic epithelial cells. Comparative transcriptomics analysis was employed to investigate the differential gene expression profiles of STEC O157:H7 during its interaction with these cell types. The bacterial cells were cultured under controlled conditions to simulate the microenvironments of both bovine RAJ and human colonic epithelial cells. Using high-throughput RNA sequencing, we identified key bacterial genes and regulatory pathways that are significantly modulated in response to each specific host environment. Our findings reveal distinct expression patterns of virulence factors, adhesion proteins, and stress response genes in STEC O157:H7 grown in bovine RAJ cells as opposed to human colonic epithelial cells. Additionally, the comparative analysis highlights the potential role of certain genes in host adaptation and tissue-specific pathogenicity. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential factors contributing to the survival and persistence of STEC O157:H7 in the bovine reservoir and its ability to colonize and cause disease in humans.
