Genome wide transcriptional portrait of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae during invasive disease reveals new strategies for survival and persistence in the host

ABSTRACT: The transcriptional profile of the porcine lung pathogen, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, was monitored during the acute phase of infection in its natural host. Bacterial expression profiles of A. pleuropneumoniae isolated from lung lesions of 25 infected pigs were compared in samples taken 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post infection. A 84 chip study using total RNA recovered from A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 (4226) and serotype 6 (7712640) isolated from infected pig lung tissue during the first 48 of infection. Samples were taken 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post infection, respectively. Before hybridization the samples were enriched for bacterial RNA and submitted to linear amplification. Each chip measures the expression level of 4,876 target genes from A. pleuropneumoniae with each gene covered by an average of 26.7 probes. Three biological replicates per sample. Microarray data from 3 pigs (no. 39, no. 43 and no. 72) were omitted from the final analysis due to poor signal intensity. A total of 75 microarrays were included in the final analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>Gene expression profiles of bacteria in their natural hosts can provide novel insight into the host-pathogen interactions and molecular determinants of bacterial infections. In the present study, the transcriptional profile of the porcine lung pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was monitored during the acute phase of infection in its natural host.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Bacterial expression profiles of A. pleuropneumoniae isolated from lung lesions of 25 i ...[more]

Project description:Vaccination reduces morbidity and mortality from pneumonia but its effect on the tissue-level response to infection is still poorly understood. We evaluated pneumonia disease progression, acute phase response and lung gene expression profiles in mice inoculated intranasally with virulent gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype (ST) 3, with and without prior immunization with pneumococcal polysaccharide ST 3 (PPS3), or co-immunization with PPS3 and with a low dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Pneumonia severity was assessed in the acute phase, 5, 12, 24 and 48 h post-inoculation (p.i.) and the resolution phase of 7 days p.i. Primary PPS3 specific antibody production was upregulated and IgM binding to pneumococci increased in PPS3-immunized mice. Immunizations with PPS3 or PPS3 + LPS decreased bacterial recovery the lung and blood at 24 and 48 h and increased survival. Microarray analysis of whole lung RNA revealed significant changes in the acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) between noninfected and infected mice, which were attenuated by immunization. SAA transcripts were higher in the liver and lungs of infected controls, and SAA protein was elevated in serum, but decreased in PPS3-immunized mice. Thus, during a virulent pneumonia infection, prior immunization with PPS3 in an IgM-dependent manner as well as co-immunization with PPS3 + LPS attenuated pneumonia severity and promoted resolution of infection, concomitant with significant regulation of cytokine gene expression in the lungs, and acute phase proteins in the lungs, liver and serum. Each lung RNA sample represented an individual mouse, creating biological repeats for each treatment. In-vivo treatments were as follows: non-infected lung (vehicle-immunized) control (n=5), infected lung (vehicle-immunized) control at 48 hr post-inoculation (n=5), PPS3 and LPS co-immunized lung at 48 hr post-inoculation (n=4) and PPS3 and LPS co-immunized lung at 7 days post-inoculation (n=4).
