Transcription profiling time series of Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild type and lexA mutant response to treatment with ciprofloxacin

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections can be virtually impossible to eradicate and the evolution of resistance during antibiotic therapy is a significant concern. In this study, we use DNA microarrays to characterize the global transcriptional response of P. aeruginosa to clinical-like doses of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and also to determine the component that is regulated by LexA cleavage and the SOS response. We find that genes involved in virtually every facet of metabolism are down-regulated in response to ciprofloxacin. The LexA-controlled SOS regulon identified by microarray analysis includes only fifteen genes, but does include several genes that encode proteins involved in recombination and replication, including two inducible polymerases known to play a role in mutation and the evolution of antibiotic resistance in other organisms. The data suggests that the inhibition of LexA cleavage during therapy might help combat this pathogen by decreasing its ability to adapt and evolve resistance. Experiment Overall Design: Sample preparation and data analysis. For each strain (PAO1 and the lexA uninducible mutant), 5 clones were inoculated in LB and grown 18 h. Cultures were diluted 1:500 and grown to mid-log phase (OD600 ~0.4-0.5) at which point ciprofloxacin was added to a final concentration of 1 Î¼g/ml. At 0, 30 and 120 minutes following ciprofloxacin addition, appropriate volumes from each of the 5 cultures per strain were pooled and added to 2 volumes of RNAprotect reagent (Qiagen); cell pellets were stored at 4 ÂºC until RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) at the end of the sample collection period. This procedure was repeated three independent times to generate three samples each just prior to and 120 minutes post ciprofloxacin addition.

Project description:Background: Antibiotic resistance is an urgent threat to public health. Prior to the evolution of antibiotic resistance, bacteria frequently undergo response and tend to develop a state of adaption to the antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic by damaging DNA. With the widespread clinical application, the resistance of bacteria to ciprofloxacin continues to increase. This study aimed to investigate the transcriptome changes under the action of high concentration of ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli. Results: We identified 773 up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 645 down-regulated DEGs in ciprofloxacin treated cells. Enriched biological pathways reflected the up-regulation of biological process such as DNA damage and repair system, toxin/antitoxin systems, formaldehyde detoxification system, peptide biosynthetic process and cellular protein metabolic process. With KEGG pathway analysis, up-regulated DEGs of kdsA and waa operon were associated with “LPS biosynthesis”. rfbABC operon was related to “streptomycin biosynthesis” and “polyketide sugar unit biosynthesis ”. Down-regulated DEGs of thrABC and fliL operons were associated with “flagellum-dependent cell motility” and “bacterial-type flagellum” in GO terms, and enriched into “biosynthesis of amino acids” and “flagellar assembly” in KEGG pathways. After treatment of ciprofloxacin, bacterial lipopolysacchride (LPS) release was increased by two times, and the mRNA expression level of LPS synthesis genes, waaB, waaP and waaG were elevated (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Characterization of the gene clusters by RNA-seq showed high dose of ciprofloxacin not only lead to damage of bacterial macromolecules and components, but also induce protective response against antibiotic action by up-regulating the SOS system, toxin/antitoxin system and formaldehyde detoxification system. Moreover, genes related to biosynthesis of LPS were also upregulated by the treatment indicating that ciprofloxacin can enhance the production of endotoxin on the level of transcription. These results demonstrated that transient exposure of high dose ciprofloxacin is double edged. Cautions should be taken when administering the high dose antibiotic treatment for infectious diseases.
