Project description:Otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis and as well as severe diseases such as meningitis and bacteraemia are related to biofilm-like diseases, in which Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated differential and tissue specific gene expressions. In this study, we reported the differential gene expression profile of early in vitro biofilm and planktonic cell in c-DNA microarray analysis. The microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from biofilms grown in 24-well microtiter plate and mid-log grown planktonic cells. To validate the results of microarray, real-time RT-PCR was performed on 13 differentially expressed genes and one constitutively expressed gene from six different functional groups. cDNA-microarray analyses indicated 89 genes that were significantly differentially expressed in biofilm and planktonic cells. Among total differentially expressed gene, almost 50% were hypothetical genes. Of the 46 protein coding genes, 34 showed up-regulation and 16 showed down-regulation in biofilm. The functional annotation showed that many functional categories were differentially regulated in biofilm and planktonic cells, such as genes involve in purine, pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, RNA/DNA metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, translation, transporter protein, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, isoprenoid biosynthesis, transcription regulator and cellular process. Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 strain used in this is an unencapsulated and avirulent strain derived from encapsulated serotype 2 pathogenic strain D39. In vitro biofilm formation was carried out in 24-well, flat-bottom, polystyrene microtiter plate (BD falcon, MD, USA) in static model. S. pneumoniae grown up to mid-logarithmic phase in TSB medium was diluted 1:100 with fresh sterile TSB medium supplied with 1% glucose, inoculated 1.5 mL in 24-well microtiter plate and, incubated for 15 hours at 37M-BM-0C in 5% CO2. After incubation medium was discarded, and the plates were gently washed three times with 1.5 mL sterile, cold phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Adherent cell were scraped and immediately processed for RNA extraction. For planktonic cells RNA extraction, five ml of mid-logarithmic phase cell suspension was pelleted by centrifugation and wash three times with sterile PBS and immediately processed for RNA extraction. All experiments were performed in triplicate (3 independent biological replicates)

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression to identify overlooked sRNAs and sORFs. Background The completion of numerous genome sequences has introduced an era of whole-genome study. However, many real genes, including small RNAs (sRNAs) and small ORFs (sORFs), are missed in genome annotation. In order to improve genome annotation, we sought to identify novel sRNAs and sORFs in Shigella, the principal etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery or shigellosis. Results Firstly, we identified 64 sRNAs in Shigella which is experimentally validated in other bacteria based on sequence conservation. Secondly, among possible approaches to search for sRNAs, we employed computer-based and tiling array based methods, followed by RT-PCR and northern blots. This allowed us to identify 12 sRNAs in Shigella flexneri strain 301. We also find 29 candidate sORFs. Conclusions This investigation provides an updated and comprehensive annotation of the Shigella genome, increases the expected numbers of sORFs and sRNAs with the corresponding impact on future functional genomics and proteomics studies. Our method can be used for the large scale reannotation of sRNAs and sORFs in any microbe whose genome sequence is available. Study using total RNA recovered from five conditions.

Project description:The RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by homology-dependent degradation of the target mRNA with small RNA molecules plays a key role in controlling transcription and translation processes in a number of eukaryotic organisms. The RNAi machinery is also evolutionarily conserved in a wide variety of fungal species, including pathogenic fungi. To elucidate the physiological functions of the RNAi pathway in Cryptococcus neoformans that causes fungal meningitis, here we performed genetic analyses for genes encoding Argonaute (AGO1 and AGO2), RdRP (RDP1), and Dicers (DCR1 and DCR2) in both serotype A and D C. neoformans. The present study shows that Ago1, Rdp1, and Dcr2 are the major components of the RNAi process occurring in C. neoformans. However, the RNAi machinery is not involved in regulation of production of two virulence factors (capsule and melanin), sexual differentiation, and diverse stress response. To further gain insights into the global regulatory circuit governed by the RNAi pathway, comparative transcriptome analysis using the serotype A and D RNAi mutants was performed. Notably, an increase in transcript abundance of active transposons, such as T2 and T3, was observed in the rdp1Δ mutant. Therefore, this study can improve our understanding of the role of the RNAi genes in human fungal pathogens including C. neoformans. RNAi_D: 6 slides are used in this analysis, 3 biological replicate experiments are performed, total RNAs are extracted from 4 strains (NE519 MAT alpha, NE520 MAT a backcrossed Wild type strain, NE517 rdp1 mutant MAT alpha, NE518 rdp1 mutant MAT a). We use Cy5 as rdp1 mutant dye and Cy3 as a WT dye

Project description:Intracellular small-molecule signaling has drawn increasing attention due to its importance in bacterial physiology and host-pathogen interactions. Here, we show that a new quinone-sensing transcriptional regulator, QsbR (quinone-stress sensing and bleomycin resistance regulator), is important for bacterial stress response and virulence in S. aureus. The mutant strain of qsbR exhibits dramatically reduced staphylococcal virulence in a murine abscess model of infection. Moreover, the qsbR mutant shows an accumulation of riboflavin and an increased resistance to quinone stress and bleomycin compared to the wild-type strain Newman. Microarray analysis confirmed that QsbR impacts the expression of genes that are involved in quinone stress response, bleomycin resistance, riboflavin biosynthesis, and pathogenesis. DNase-I footprinting and gel shift assays suggest that QsbR not only directly regulates transcription of genes involved in quinone detoxification and bleomycin resistance, but is also subject to autoregulation by binding to the palindromic consensus sequence GTATAN(5)TATAC in their promoter regions. This binding could be disrupted by quinone treatment in vitro. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that wild-type QsbR, but not QsbRC5S with Cys5 mutated to Ser, could be alkylated at Cys5 by quinone. Further mutagenesis studies revealed that Cys5 plays a key role in quinone sensing as substitution of Cys5 with Ser renders the bacterium more sensitive to quinone stress. Our results demonstrate that QsbR is a quinone-sensing regulator that dramatically impacts staphylococcal virulence and stress response. Sample preparation for transcriptional analysis. For each strain, 2 clones were inoculated in TSB and collected from mid-log or stationary phase. Appropriate volumes from each of the 2 cultures per strain were pooled and added to 2 volumes of RNAprotect reagent (Qiagen). Cultures were centrifuged and cell pellets were stored at 4 ºC until RNA extraction. During the experiment, OD600 and viable cfu per ml were monitored for each of the cultures. This procedure was repeated 2 independent times to generate 2 samples at each time point for each strain.

Project description:Understanding novel mechanism bacteria ustilize in the clinics to become resistant to antibiotics is critical. The study aims to identify genes associated with Vancomycin resistance. Clinical isolates from a single patient with increasing resistance to vancomycin were grown in the presence and absence of vancomycin.Staphylococcus aureus strain 2275 is the reference for this series. S. aureus isolates from a single patient were grown in the presence and absence of vancomycin over a 2 hour time course. RNA samples were extracted at 30, 60 90 and 120 minutes post exposure to antibiotic. Samples were hybridized on aminosilane coated slides with 70-mer oligos comparing mock treated and treated cells to the first strain isolated in the lineage. Differnetial gene expression patterns were determined.
