Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the spxA1-null mutant of Streptococcus sanguinis SK36 compared with wild type. The spxA1 gene was inactivated in Streptococcus sanguinis SK36, and the mutant demonstrated opaque colony morphology, reduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, and reduced antagonistic activity against Streptococcus S. mutans UA159 both on plates and in liquid media. The mutant also showed decreased tolerance to high temperature, and acidic and oxidative stresses. Complementation of the ΔspxA1 mutant with spxA1 restored colony morphology, H2O2 production and stress tolerance to the ΔspxA1 mutant. The mutant also exhibited an ~5-fold reduction in competitiveness in an animal model of endocarditis, indicating the involvement of SpxA1 in endocarditis virulence. Microarray studies revealed that a number of SpxA1-upregulated genes are involved in oxidative stress. The expression of spxB and nox (which encode pyruvate oxidase and NADH oxidase, respectively, and are involved in H2O2 production and nox involved virulence) significantly decreased in ΔspxA1 compared with the wild type. This may be at least partly responsible for the decreased H2O2 production and reduced virulence in the ΔspxA1 mutant because spxB and nox were involved in H2O2 production and nox involved virulence. One-condition experiment: ΔspxA1 vs. S. sanguinis SK36 cells. Biological replicates: 3 wild type, 3 ΔspxA1, independently grown and harvested. One replicate (one wild type and one ΔspxA1 mixture) per array.

Project description:The influence of cranberry proanthocyanidins on the transcriptomic responses of Streptococcus mutans during biofilm formation was investigated. Treatment regimens simulating topical exposures experienced clinically (twice-daily, 60 s each) were used over saliva-coated hydroxyapatite biofilm model. Cranberry proanthocyanidins (1.5 mg/ml) in 15% ethanol was used to treat the biofilms. Four biological replicates each for the treatment and vehicle control were used for RNA extraction and microarray.

Project description:We found that many of the genes for which mutants could not be obtained using promoterless aphA-3 gene replacement were annotated as acquired via horizontal gene transfer or as encoding hypothetical proteins. We were curious about the explanation of this finding. The expression of these genes was therefore examined by microarray analysis. The microarray data showed many had undetectable expression. This led us to suspect that many of the unrecoverable mutants might have resulted from insufficient expression of the promoterless aphA-3 gene. S. sanguinis cultures at late log growth phase at 37 oC under microaerobic condition were used for microarray analysis. RNA from each of three independent samples was isolated by RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Spotted microarray slides were obtained from the Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center at JCVI. Each gene had four repeats in one spotted microarray slides. The microarray was performed according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. Each sample was divided into two parts and labeled by Cy5 and Cy3 dyes respectively for microarray. The microarray data were analyzed by programs TIGR Spotfinder and Midas to obtain the ratio of one dye to another dye for gene relative expression. Additionally, the ratio of dye intensity to background in a microarray slide was obtained after Spotfinder analysis. Absolute expression of each gene was represented by the average ratio of dye intensity to background for each slide.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae is a Gram negative, motile, facultative anaerobic bacterium, and the causative agent of cholera, a severe diarrhoeal disease, which untreated can rapidly lead to dehydration, hypotensive shock, and death. Cholera is a significant human disease that is estimated to affect 3-5 million people each year. The mechanism by which V. cholerae regulates virulence gene expression in vivo is unknown, but a number of studies have suggested that low molecular weight signally molecules may be important in modulating gene expression. cFP is a low molecular weight cyclic dipeptide produced by multiple Vibrio species. Evidence previously generated in our laboratory showed that cFP inhibited the production of the virulence factors cholera toxin (CT) and the toxin coregulated pilus (TCP) in O1 El Tor V. cholerae strain N16961 during growth under virulence gene inducing conditions. cFP inhibition of CT and TCP production correlated with reduced transcription of several regulators that belong to the ToxR regulon. To identify additional cFP-responsive genes we performed microarray experiments with the O1 El Tor V. cholerae strain N16961. In these experiments N16961 was grown under virulence gene inducing conditions in the presence and absence of cFP before RNA was extracted and hybridized to microarrays. The results showed that cFP positively affected the expression of the LysR-family regulatory protein LeuO. This finding suggests the possibility that LeuO may be mediating cFP-dependent regulation of gene expression in response to environmental cFP. V. cholerae N16961 was grown under AKI growth condition in the presence or absence of 1 mM cFP for 2.5 or 3 hours when total RNA was extracted, differentially labelled and hybridized to microarrays. Four independent experiments were performed.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes strain F2365 was the first strain representative of serotype 4b (lineage I) to be sequenced in 2004, suggesting it could become the model organism for this serotype, which is associated with most human outbreaks of listeriosis worldwide to date. F2365 itself is an outbreak strain involved in the Mexican-style soft cheese outbreak in California in 1985. In this study we show through phenotypic and transcriptomic analysis that L. monocytogenes strain F2365 has reduced ability to respond to stress due to the absence of a functional M-OM-^CB-dependent stress response system. F2365 shows no M-oM-^AM-3B-dependent ability to survive acid or oxidative stress nor M-oM-^AM-3B-dependent ability to infect Caco-2 epithelial cell in vitro or guinea pigs in vivo. Therefore, there is substantial evidence that F2365 is an atypical strain and is not a suitable representative of outbreak-associated serotype 4b strains. Independent RNA isolations were performed for F2365 and M-NM-^TsigB strains from cells grown to early stationary phase. Three biological replicates were used in competitive whole-genome microarray experiments. For each set of hybridizations, RNA from a L. monocytogenes wildtype strain was hybridized with RNA from its isogenic M-NM-^TsigB null mutant.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes strain 10403S has been studied extensively for stress response activity toward multiple stressors (acid, osmotic, cold, high temperature, etc.) as well as multiple stress regulons (SigB, CtsR, HrcA, etc.). Here we aimed to determine the transcriptional response of Listeria monocytogenes in early log phase towards the strong oxidative stress imposed by ClO2. The elucidation of such a response allows for further a more completel understanding of the mechanism of inactivation by sanitizers, specifically ClO2. Independent RNA isolations were performed for strain 10403S with and without exposure to ClO2 from cells grown to early log phase. Four biological replicates were used in competitive whole-genome microarray experiments. For each set of hybridizations, RNA from a control sample of Listeria monocytogenes was hybridized with RNA from a culture of L. monocytogenes following exposure to ClO2. Dye swapping was performed for the four replicates to mitigate any concerns of dye bias.

Project description:Phosphate is essential for all living organisms, participating in critical biochemical processes, being an essential component of the energy dynamics of cells and being a component of nucleic acids, phospholipids in membranes, and other biomolecules. Therefore, the ability to withstand conditions of phosphate starvation, making use of the available phosphate, is of great importance for cell survival. Microarrays were performed to study the transcriptional response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa under phosphate deficient conditions.
