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:Changes in endothelial phenotype induced by E. coli-derived Shiga toxins (Stx) are believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome. Stx inactivate host ribosomes, but also alter gene expression at concentrations that minimally affect global protein synthesis. The effect of Stx on the gene expression profile of human microvascular endothelial cells was examined using the Affymetrix HG-U133A platform. Data were processed using 13 different methods and revealed 369 unique differentially expressed genes, 318 of which were up-regulated and 51 of which were down-regulated. These studies implicated activation of the CXCR4/CXCR7/SDF-1 chemokine pathway in Stx-mediated pathogenesis. Primary human dermal microvascular endothelial cells were treated with vehicle or Shiga toxin (10 fM, 24 h, n = 6) and changes in steady-state mRNA levels were determined by hybridization to Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays

Project description:Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a food-borne pathogen that causes diarrheal disease and the potentially lethal hemolytic uremic syndrome. Here, we used an infant rabbit model of EHEC infection that recapitulates many aspects of human intestinal disease to comprehensively assess the host colonic epithelial and lamina propria cell transcriptional responses to EHEC infection. Furthermore, comparisons of colonic pathology and intestinal transcriptomic profiles in animals infected with EHEC strains containing or lacking Shiga toxins (∆∆stx) were carried out to investigate how these potent toxins shape the host response to the pathogen. We found that Stx is required for severe, multi-focal hemorrhage and extensive apoptosis in the colon. RNA-sequencing revealed that EHEC infection elicits a robust innate immune response in the colonic epithelium that is dramatically shaped by Stx. Over 1400 genes were differentially expressed in animals infected with WT versus ∆∆stx EHEC strains. Several pathways linked to innate immune responses were dependent on Stx. Upregulated genes in the presence of toxin included cytokines IL23a and CXCL8, as well as F3, the gene encoding the coagulation initiator Tissue Factor. RNA FISH revealed that these elevated transcripts were found almost exclusively in epithelial cells, suggesting that Stx remodels the transcriptional profile of the epithelium. Collectively, these findings reveal that Stx potently modulates the innate immune response to EHEC in the intestine, and suggest that Stx drives the response to infection towards type 3 immunity.

Project description:BackgroundDiarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) pathogenicity relies on the interaction of bacteria with the host's gut environment, which is regulated by the resident microbiota. Previously, we identified indicative bacterial species of gut microbiota in DEC-positive stool samples from children. Here, 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.MethodsWe determined the effect of supernatants obtained from CW and EA cultures on the gene expression of STEC strain 86-24 and EAEC strain 042 by RNA-seq analysis. We evaluated IL-8 secretion from T84 cells infected with these DEC strains in the presence or absence of the supernatant from EA. The effect of the supernatant from EA on the growth and adherence of STEC and EAEC to cells was also evaluated. Finally, we studied the effect of the EA supernatant on the STEC-induced inflammation mediated by the long polar fimbriae (Lpf) in T84 cells and the expression of plasmid-encoded toxin (Pet) in EAEC.ResultsRNA-seq analysis revealed that several virulence factors in STEC and EAEC were upregulated in the presence of supernatants from CW and EA.

Project description:The retrograde transport inhibitor Retro-2 has a protective effect on cells and in mice against Shiga-like toxins and ricin. Retro-2 causes toxin accumulation in early endosomes, and the relocalization of the Golgi SNARE protein syntaxin-5 to the endoplasmic reticulum. The molecular mechanisms by which this is achieved remain unknown. Here, we show that Retro-2 targets the endoplasmic reticulum exit site component Sec16A, affecting anterograde transport of syntaxin-5 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. The formation of canonical SNARE complexes involving syntaxin-5 is not affected in Retro-2-treated cells. In contrast, the interaction of syntaxin-5 with a newly discovered binding partner, the retrograde trafficking chaperone GPP130, is abolished, and we show that GPP130 must indeed bind to syntaxin-5 to drive Shiga toxin transport from endosomes to the Golgi. We thereby identify Sec16A as a druggable target, and provide evidence for a non-SNARE function for syntaxin-5 in interaction with the retrograde cycling protein GPP130. a) Clickable Retro-2 pulldown. To identify protein target of Retro-2.1, providing the first steps to explain effects of Retro-2 on inhibition of STxB retrograde trafficking from endosomes to Golgi. b) GFP-STX5 pulldown. To find interactors of STX5, to build a hypothesis to explain the affect of Retro-2-inhibited anterograde trafficking of STX5 to Golgi, which in turn inhibits STxB retrograde transport from endosomes to Golgi. c) GFP-Sec16A pulldown. The aim of this proteomics assay is to show the effects of Retro-2 on the Sec16A interactome. Results show the differential effects of Retro-2 treatment on the Sec16A interactome, giving insight into the mechanism by which Retro-2, via Sec16A, specifically affects the anterograde trafficking of Syntaxin-5.

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: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.
