Adaptation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii to the colon environment

ABSTRACT: Mechanisms allowing P. freudenreichii adaptation to digestive stresses have been only studied in vitro so far. Our aim was therefore to study P. freudenreichii metabolic adaptation to intra-colonic conditions in situ. We maintained a pure culture of P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA1, contained in a dialysis bag, within the colon of vigilant piglets during 24 hours. A transcriptomic analysis identified the metabolic pathways induced by this environment, in comparison with control propionibacteria maintained in spent culture medium. 12 cutures in a dialysis bag in the colon of piglets during 24H compared to 12 cultures propionibacteria maintained in spent culture medium

Project description:Background. Chronic renal failure is characterized by progressive renal scarring and accelerated cardiovascular disease. In animal models, this is thought to be due to non-dialyzable uremic toxins M-bM-^@M-^S small, protein-bound molecules normally secreted via Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) in the proximal renal tubule,rather than filtered at the glomerulus. The best studied of these is indoxyl sulfate (IS). Methods. We examined global gene expression responses in cultured normal human renal tubular cells incubated with control plasma (n=5) or pre- and post-dialysis uremic plasma (n=10). Results. GeneSpring analysis of microarrays revealed significantly altered expression of 2016 genes. The expression of 537 genes M-bM-^@M-^\normalizedM-bM-^@M-^] in post-dialysis plasma, suggesting removal of M-bM-^@M-^\low molecular weight uremic toxinsM-bM-^@M-^] by dialysis. The expression of the majority of dysregulated genes (1479) was not normalized in post-dialysis plasma. These likely represent the effects of substances not effectively removed by dialysis (M-bM-^@M-^\protein-bound uremic toxinsM-bM-^@M-^]). Addition of indoxyl sulfateto control plasma simulated most effects (81.1%) of uremic plasma, while the addition of probenecid, an OAT inhibitor, to uremic plasma reversed most changes in gene expression. Analysis of molecular programs with the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and the DAVID database revealed patterns common to indoxyl sulfate-treated control plasma, pre-dialysis, and post-dialysis uremic plasma. These included increased cell cycle, pro-inflammatory, and pro-fibrotic molecular programs, particularly genes in the TGF-M-NM-2 pathway. Conclusion: These findings provide insight into the role of non-dialyzable, protein-bound uremic toxins in the pathogenesis of renal scarring and uremic vasculopathy. The GSEA patterns confirm that inflammatory and fibrotic programs are active.

Project description:Leptospirosis, an emerging zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution, is caused by spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira. More than 500,000 cases of severe leptospirosis are reported annually, with .10% of these being fatal. Leptospires can survive for weeks in suitably moist conditions before encountering a new host. Reservoir hosts, typically rodents, exhibit little to no signs of disease but shed large numbers of organisms in their urine. Transmission occurs when mucosal surfaces or abraded skin come into contact with infected urine or urine-contaminated water or soil. In humans, leptospires can cause a variety of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic or mild fever to severe icteric (Weil’s) disease and pulmonary haemorrhage. Currently, little is known about how Leptospira persist within a reservoir host. Prior in vitro studies have suggested that leptospires alter their transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in response to environmental signals encountered during mammalian infection. However, no study has examined gene expression by leptospires within a mammalian host-adapted state. To obtain a more faithful representation of how leptospires respond to host-derived signals, we used RNA-Seq to compare the transcriptome of L. interrogans cultivated within dialysis membrane chambers (DMCs) implanted into the peritoneal cavities of rats with that of organisms grown in vitro. In addition to determining the relative expression levels of ‘‘core’’ housekeeping genes under both growth conditions, we identified 166 genes that are differentially-expressed by L. interrogans in vivo. Our analyses highlight physiological aspects of host adaptation by leptospires relating to heme uptake and utilization. We also identified 11 novel non-coding transcripts that are candidate small regulatory RNAs. The DMC model provides a facile system for studying the transcriptional and antigenic changes associated with mammalian host-adaption, selection of targets for mutagenesis, and the identification of previously unrecognized virulence determinants.

Also, the reproducibility and robustness of data is ensured by three biological replicates from each condition.
