Comparative analysis of bacterial transcriptome using DNA microarray and next generation sequencing technologies

ABSTRACT: Validation of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 transcriptome profile using RNA sequencing (direct cDNA sequencing and 3'-UTR sequencing) in comparison with DNA microarray as a reference platform. Transcriptome analysis was performed on total RNA and enriched mRNA of L. plantarum WCFS1 grown in CDM or MRS media. Samples were hybridized in a loop design, hybridizing each sample twice, once for each dye This Series represents the DNA microarray experiments only.

RNA sequencing is starting to compete with the use of DNA microarrays for transcription analysis in eukaryotes as well as in prokaryotes. The application of RNA sequencing in prokaryotes requires additional steps in the RNA preparation procedure to increase the relative abundance of mRNA and cannot employ the poly(T)-primed approach in cDNA synthesis. In this study, we aimed to validate the use of RNA sequencing (direct cDNA sequencing and 3'-untranslated region [UTR] sequencing) using Lactobaci ...[more]

Project description:Specific Lactobacillus strains are marketed as probiotics i.e. health promoting organisms. As previously shown in vivo, L. plantarum WCFS1 modulates immune responses via nuclear factor (NF)kB in a growth phase dependent manner, likely caused by changed microbial cell surface characteristics. Here, we identified the differential cell-surface proteome composition of L. plantarum WCFS1 cells derived from the mid-logarithmic and late stationary growth phase by surface trypsination of intact bacterial cells, followed by a combined 1D- and 2D-LC-MS shotgun proteomics strategy, and growth phase dependent transcriptome analysis. Overall, these analyses led to the identification of 31 surface proteins differentially present in the logarithmic and stationary phase, whereas additional 17 and 33 proteins appeared solely present in stationary and logarithmic phase of growth, respectively. From 75% of predicted surface related genes displaying relatively high expression levels, the corresponding proteins were detected, demonstrating a high correlation between transcriptome and proteome profiles. The impact of cell-surface peptide fractions on cellular host responses was evaluated using NFkB promoter activation assays in intestinal epithelial cells, revealing that only late stationary phase derived peptides are capable of attenuating flagellin and cell envelope induced NFkB activation. Overall our data mechanistically expand earlier observations that revealed growth-phase dependent immunomodulation by L. plantarum WCFS1, leading to a typical adjuvant- or tolerance-like response after exposure to stationary phase harvested bacterial cells. Sub-fractionation of the late stationary phase peptide fraction revealed a sub-set of strong attenuator peptides able to manipulate NFkB related pathways to hereby attenuate pro-inflammatory signaling. Samples were hybridizedin a loop design linking each timepoint to the next as well as the previous timepoint. Additional hybridizations were introduced linking each sample three timepoints forward and three timepoints back. All samples were hybridized unsing at least each of the two dyes once.

Project description:Background: In prokaryotes, sigma factors are essential for the targeting of the transcription machinery to promoters. Various sigma factors have been described that recognize and bind to specific DNA sequence motifs in promoter sequences. The canonical sigma factor M-OM-^C70 is commonly involved in transcription of the cell's general housekeeping genes, which is mediated by the conserved M-OM-^C70 promoter sequence motifs. This study detects and predicts the general M-OM-^C70-promoter sequences in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 using genome-wide analysis. The accuracy of the transcriptionally-active part of this promoter prediction was subsequently evaluated by correlating locations of predicted promoters with experimentally detected transcription starts sites (TSSs) using high-resolution tiling array transcriptome datasets. Results: To identify M-OM-^C70-related promoter sequences, we performed a genome-wide sequence motif scan of the L. plantarum WCFS1 genome focusing on the regions upstream of protein-encoding genes. We obtained several highly conserved motifs including those resembling the conserved M-OM-^C70-promoter consensus. Position weight matrices-based models of the recovered M-OM-^C70-promoter sequence motif were employed to identify 4746 motifs with significant similarity (p-value < 10-4) to the model-motif in the L. plantarum genome. Genome-wide transcription start site information deduced from whole genome tiling-array transcriptome datasets revealed 936 TSSs that were employed to validate the transcriptionally active fraction of these predicted promoters. In total, 578 predicted promoters were found in proximity (M-bM-^IM-$ 100 nucleotides) of the identified TSSs, showing a highly significant co-occurrence of predicted promoter and measured TSS (p-value < 10-23). An additional 224 predicted promoters was validated when the significant similarity to the model-motif was applied less strictly (10-4 M-bM-^IM-$ p-value < 10-3). Conclusions: High-resolution tiling arrays provide a suitable source for TSS detection at a genome-wide level, and allow experimental verification of in silico-predicted promoter sequence motifs.
