ABSTRACT: Pathogenic bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica injects virulence plasmid-encoded effectors through the type three secretion system into macrophages to modulate gene expression. At this point there are no comprehensive gene expression analysis in primary human macrophages analyzing the effect of virulence plasmid-encoded factors on transcription. For this primary human macrophages were infected for 1.5 h and 6 h with mock, WAC (virulence plasmid-cured strain) or WA314 (wild type) and samples were subjected to RNA-seq. The effect of effector protein YopP on gene expression in macrophages was analyzed using a wild type strain lacking YopP.
Project description:Pathogenic bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica injects virulence plasmid-encoded effectors through the type three secretion system into macrophages to modulate gene expression. Here we analyzed the effect on gene expression in primary human macrophages of Y. enterocolitica strains lacking effector YopP (1.5 h infection) or effectors YopP and YopM (1.5 h or 6 h infection) simultaneously using RNA-seq. This is part of a larger sequencing experiment for which other samples can be found in EMBL-EBI (www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress) under accession number E-MTAB-10473 and European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/PRJEB10086.
Project description:Pathogenic bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica injects virulence plasmid-encoded effectors through the type three secretion system into macrophages to modulate gene expression. At this point it is not known whether epigenetic modifications play a role in Yersinia regulation of gene expression. To answer this question primary human macrophages were infected with mock, WAC (virulence plasmid-cured strain) or WA314 (wild type) and samples were subjected to ChIP-seq for H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac and H3K27me3. The effect of effector proteins YopM and YopP on histone modifications in macrophages was analyzed using a wild type strain lacking either YopM or YopP and subsequent ChIP-seq analysis.
Project description:In this study, we employed the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform to perform a Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis of the peritoneal macrophages genome-wide transcriptome response to B.melitensis infection. Common changes in gene expression were observed among Brucella app. infected macrophages suggesting similar strategies were employed for their survival and replication, inducing anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic. A total of 1019 differentially expressed (DE) transcripts were identified in the macrophages 4 hours after differ virluent B.melitensis infection, especially genes participated lysosome pathway and MAPK pathway. Our findings demonstrate previously unrecognized changes in gene transcription that are associated with B.melitensis infection in the macrophages, and many significant pathways (cascades) identified in the study clearly merit further investigation. Our data provide new clues to understand the molecular attenuation mechanism of M5-90 and a firm foundation for reducing vaccine residual virulence, enhancing vaccine efficacy.

Project description:We recently found that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can be used as a model of persistent bacterial infections. We performed in vivo RNA-seq of bacteria in small cecal tissue biopsies at early and persistent stages of infection to determine strategies associated with persistence. Comprehensive analysis of mixed RNA populations from infected tissues revealed that Y. pseudotuberculosis undergoes transcriptional reprogramming with drastic down-regulation of T3SS virulence genes during persistence when the pathogen resides within the cecum. At the persistent stage, the expression pattern in many respects resembles the pattern seen in vitro at 26oC, with for example up-regulation of flagellar genes and invA. These findings are expected to have impact on future rationales to identify suitable bacterial targets for new antibiotics. Other genes that are up-regulated during persistence are genes involved in anaerobiosis, chemotaxis, and protection against oxidative and acidic stress, which indicates the influence of different environmental cues. We found that the Crp/CsrA/RovA regulatory cascades influence the pattern of bacterial gene expression during persistence. Furthermore, arcA, fnr, frdA, and wrbA play critical roles in persistence. Our findings suggest a model for the life cycle of this enteropathogen with reprogramming from a virulent to an adapted phenotype capable of persisting and spreading by fecal shedding. Examination of Y. pseudotuberculosis expression in two mouse cecal tissue at early and at persistent infection. Also pure bacterial cultures two at 26C and two 37C. Additionally, the bacterial content of cecal tissue during infections and before infection were analyzed with read mapping on 16SMicrobial NCBI database with non-rRNA-depleted reads.
Project description:Brucella, a notorious intracellular pathogen, causes chronic infections in many mammals, including humans. The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway transports folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane; protein substrates translocated by Brucella include ABC transporters, oxidoreductases, and cell envelope biosynthesis proteins. Previously, we showed that a Tat mutant of Brucella melitensis M28 exhibits reduced survival within murine macrophages. In this study, we compared the host responses elicited by wild-type M28 and its Tat-mutant strains ex vivo. We utilized label-free quantitative proteomics to assess proteomic changes in RAW264.7 macrophages after infection with M28 and its Tat mutants.
Project description:Human disease caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 can lead to a rapidly progressive viral pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is increasing evidence suggests a role for virus-induced cytokine dysregulation in contributing to the pathogenesis of human H5N1 disease. The key target cells for the virus in the lung are the alveolar epithelium and alveolar macrophages, and previous data has shown that compared to seasonal human influenza viruses, equivalent infecting doses of H5N1 viruses markedly up-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines in both primary cell types in vitro. The dysregulation of H5N1-induced host responses is therefore important for understanding the viral pathogenesis. We used microarrays to analyze and compare the gene expression profiles in primary human macrophages after influenza A virus infection. Peripheral-blood leucocytes were separated from buffy coats of three healthy blood donors and cells were differentiated for 14 days before use. Differentiated macrophages were infected with H1N1 and H5N1 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of two. Total RNA was extracted from cells after 1, 3, and 6h post-infection, and gene expression profiling was performed using an Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarray platform.
Project description:We examined the microRNA profiles of THP-1 macrophages upon the MTB infection of (1) Beijing/W and non-Beijing/W clinical strains, and (2) susceptible and multidrug-resistant (MDR-) MTB strains. THP-1 cells were induced differentiation into a macrophage phenotype. Then cells were infected with three MDR (INHR, RIFR) Beijing/W, three sensitive (INHS, RIFS) Beijing/W, three MDR(INHR, RIFR) non-Beijing/W, and three sensitive (INHS, RIFS) non-Beijing/W strains. Total RNA were extracted and transfered into cDNA for miRNA profile analysis. Non-infected cells were used as control.
Project description:the microRNA profiles of the host macrophages were studied by microarray in a small cohort with active MTB disease, latent infection (LTBI), and from healthy controls. From each individual in the three cohorts: the healthy (n=3), the latent (n=4), and the active TB patients (n=3), whole blood specimens were collected for monocytes isolation. Monocytes were induced into macrophage in vitro and total RNA were extracted for miRNA profiles analysis.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that tightly regulates the activities of various virulence factors during infection. A mutant strain (the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant) that has lost the ability to control the activity of a phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is attenuated a hundred fold in mice. This attenuation is not due to a lack of bacterial fitness, but appears to result from a modified host response to infection. The transcriptomic pattern of immunerelated genes in infected macrophages indicated no differential response to wild-type L. monocytogenes vs the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant. Cultures of bone marrow derived macrophages from BALB/c were infected with either wild type or mutant L. monocytogens for 3, 6, or 9 hrs. The macrophages were then collected and RNA isolated for microarray analysis of gene expression.
