Project description:Rickettsia spp. can cause mild to severe human disease. These intracellular bacteria are associated with arthropods, nematodes and trematodes, and usually, are efficiently transmitted transovarially to the progeny of the invertebrate host. We recently demonstrated foreign gene acquisition by lateral gene transfer in Rickettsia genomes. The unexpected presence of laterally transferred toxin-antitoxin (TA) genetic elements (including vapBC) in several Rickettsia genomes has not been connected with the pathogenic process or the host-bacteria relationship. We suspect that vapBC are selfish genetic elements that addict eukaryotic hosts to Rickettsia. We identified a statistical link between the transovarial transmission of Rickettsia in invertebrate hosts and the presence of TA operons, specifically vapBC, in the Rickettsia genome. These TA are neighboring to type IV secretion genes. Tunel assays and whole-genome expression of infected cells showed that antibiotic eradication of TA-containing Rickettsia from the host in cell culture initiates a proapoptotic program. Rickettsia VapC toxins inhibit the growth of transformed Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rickettsia toxin presents in vitro RNase activity. Annexin-V staining and time-lapse video showed that intracytoplasmic injections of VapC toxins in cells cause apoptosis. These data demonstrate that host cells may develop a dependence on Rickettsia spp. expressing the vapBC operon. This would constitute a new evolutionary “mafia strategy” of intracellular bacteria based on host addiction.

Fresh cells from the human microvascular endothelial cell line (HMEC-1) [26] were infected with R. felis California-2 strain in the presence and absence of antibiotics, at a rate of 5 bacteria per eukaryotic cell. Then, we added or not antibiotics (chloramphenicol 50 M-BM-5g/ml or doxycycline to 40 M-BM-5g/ml) in both experimental (R.felis-infected) and control, mock-infected cells for 6 hours. The cells were harvested and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA contamination was removed using the Turbo DNA-free Kit (Ambion). RNA were labeled using the Quick Amp Labeling Kit One-color (Agilent) and hybridized onto a Whole Human Genome Microarray, 4x44K (Agilent) as recommended by the manufacturer. Arrays were scanned with DNA Microarray Scanner (Agilent), and data were extracted using Feature Extractor (Agilent).

Project description:The green rice leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps have two mutualistic symbiotic bacteria (Candidatus Sulcia muelleri and Candidatus Nasuia deltocephalinicola) in its symbiont special organ bacteriome and are also infected to rickettsia. In order to determine immune challenge is induced or not by rickettsia infection in N. cincticeps, we investigated gene expression between rickettsia-infected and rifampicin treated uninfected N. cincticeps colonies.

Project description:We have previously reported that Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia montanensis have distinct intracellular fates within THP-1 macrophages, suggesting that the ability to proliferate within macrophages may be a distinguishable factor between pathogenic and non-pathogenic Spotted fever group (SFG) members. To start unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying the capacity (or not) of SFG Rickettsia to establish their replicative niche in macrophages, we have herein profiled the host proteomic alterations resulted by the infection of THP-1 macrophages with R. conorii and R. montanensis using a high throughput quantitative proteomics approach (SWATH-MS). Our results revealed that these two members of SFG Rickettsia with distinct pathogenicity attributes for humans, trigger differential proteomic signatures in macrophage-like cells. Although infection by both rickettsial species resulted in a lower abundance of enzymes of glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway, the pathogenic R. conorii specifically induced the accumulation of several enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid -oxidation and glutaminolysis, as well as of several inner and outer membrane mitochondrial transporters. These results suggest a profound metabolic rewriting of macrophages by R. conorii towards a metabolic signature of an M2-like (anti-inflammatory) activation program. Moreover, our results revealed that several subunits forming the proteasome and immunoproteasome are found in lower abundance upon infection with both rickettsial species, which may help bacteria to escape immune surveillance. Remarkably, R. conorii-infection specifically induced the accumulation of several host proteins implicated in protein processing and quality control in ER, suggesting that this pathogenic Rickettsia may be able to compensate the accumulation of misfolded proteins by increasing the ER protein folding capacity and subsequently restore host cell homeostasis. This work reveals novel aspects of macrophage-Rickettsia interactions, expanding our knowledge of how pathogenic rickettsiae explore host cells to their advantage.
