Response of Porphyromonas gingivalis to nitrosative stress

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of P. gingivalis cells comparing cells grown in anaerobic conditions to cells grown in anaerobic conditions and exposed to nitrite and to GSNO. Two-condition experiment, anaerobically vs. anaerobically exposed to nitrosative stress cells. Biological replicates: 1 independently grown and harvested bacterial cells for each nitrosative exposure tested. Four technical replicates for each experiment.

Although the Gram-negative, anaerobic periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis must withstand nitrosative stress, which is particularly high in the oral cavity, the mechanisms allowing for protection against such stress are not known in this organism. In this study, microarray analysis of P. gingivalis transcriptional response to nitrite and nitric oxide showed drastic upregulation of the PG0893 gene coding for hybrid cluster protein (Hcp), which is a putative hydroxylamine reductase.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small RNA species that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and are aberrantly expressed in many cancers including lymphoma. However, the role of microRNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood. We therefore elucidated the complete miRNome of purified tumor (CD138+) cells from 33 patients with MM, 5 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and 9 disease controls. Unsupervised cluster analysis revealed that MM samples have a distinct microRNA expression profile. The majority of microRNAs aberrantly expressed in MM (109/129) were up-regulated. A comparison of these microRNAs with those aberrantly expressed in other B-cell and T-cell lymphomas revealed a surprising degree of similarity (~40%) suggesting the existence of a common lymphoma microRNA signature. We identified 39 microRNAs associated with the pre-malignant condition MGUS. Twenty-three (59%) of these were also aberrantly expressed in MM suggesting common microRNA expression events in MM progression. MM is characterized by multiple chromosomal abnormalities of varying prognostic significance. We identified specific microRNA signatures associated with the most common IgH translocations (t(4;14) and t(11;14)) and del(13q). Expression levels of these microRNAs were distinct between the genetic subtypes (by cluster analysis) and correctly predicted these abnormalities in >85% of cases using the support vector machine algorithm. Additionally, we identified microRNAs associated with light chain only myeloma, as well as IgG and IgA-type MM. Finally, we identified 32 microRNAs associated with event-free survival (EFS) in MM, ten of which were significant by univariate (logrank) survival analysis. In summary, this work has identified aberrantly expressed microRNAs associated with the diagnosis, pathogenesis and prognosis of MM, data which will prove an invaluable resource for understanding the role of microRNAs in this devastating disease. Plasma cells (CD138+) cells were purified from bone marrow samples of 33 patients with MM, 5 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and 9 disease controls.

Project description:The p53 homologue, p63, is critical for normal epidermal development. While overexpression of deltaNp63alpha has been reported in squamous cell cancers, the contribution of p63 to cancer pathogenesis remains unclear. We previously demonstrated that overexpressed deltaNp63alpha aberrantly maintains proliferation of primary epidermal keratinocytes under conditions that normally induce growth arrest and differentiation. To identify target genes impacted by dysregulated deltaNp63alpha that may contribute to squamous cancer development and progression, microarray analyses were performed. Herein we report that elevated deltaNp63alpha differentially regulates genes in primary mouse keratinocytes involved in a variety of cellular functions, including cell cycle regulation, differentiation, skin barrier formation and function, apoptosis, host defense/inflammation, adhesion, migration and invasion. Of note, multiple protease inhibitor mRNAs were coordinately downregulated under both proliferating and differentiating culture conditions. These downregulated genes include two serine protease inhibitors: maspin (serpinB5) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2; serpinB2), as well as a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3). Correspondingly, secreted levels of TIMP-3 and PAI-2 protein declined in the presence of dysregulated deltaNp63alpha, while secreted maspin protein levels remained stable. Intracellular maspin protein expression decreased in response to overexpressed deltaNp63alpha, as did intracellular PAI-2. Unlike PAI-2 and maspin, TIMP-3 protein was not detected intracellularly in control or deltaNp63alpha-overexpressing keratinocytes, supporting a solely extracellular function for TIMP-3. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using a p53/p63 consensus DNA binding sequence from the maspin promoter revealed binding of an endogenous transcription factor(s) to the consensus sequence in normal keratinocytes that was disrupted by overexpressed deltaNp63alpha. This binding was also interrupted by the addition of a p73 antibody, but not antibodies to p63 or p53, and was absent in samples derived from p73(-/-) keratinocytes, confirming p73 as a constituent of the endogenous transcription factor complex. These data suggest protease inhibitors as novel targets of dysregulated deltaNp63alpha in cancer pathogenesis. Keratinocytes were transduced with adenoviruses encoding deltaNp63alpha. Keratinocytes were either maintained in low calcium conditions (0.05 mM for 24 hours) (n=6) or high calcium conditions (0.12 mM for 24 hours) (n=6). Control samples consisted of keratinocytes transduced with adenoviruses encoding beta-galactosidase also treated with low calcium (n=6) and high calcium (n=6) conditions. Twelve technical repeat microarray experiments were conducted, pairing high-calcium deltaNp63alpha samples with high-calcium beta-galactosidase samples (n=6) and low-calcium deltaNp63alpha samples with low-calcium beta-galactosidase samples (n=6). Six of the technical repeats were conducted as reverse-fluoro experiments.
