Project description:Using Nanopore sequencing, our study has revealed a close correlation between genomic methylation levels and antibiotic resistance rates in Acinetobacter Baumannii. Specifically, the combined genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis revealed the first epigenetic-based antibiotic-resistance mechanism in A. baumannii. Our findings suggest that the precise location of methylation sites along the chromosome could provide new diagnostic markers and drug targets to improve the management of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the most problematic opportunist bacterial pathogen responsible for hospital-acquired and community infections worldwide. Besides its high capacities to acquire antibiotic resistance mechanisms, it also presents high adhesion abilities on inert and living surfaces leading to biofilm development, a lifestyle conferring an additional protection against various treatments, and allowing it to persist for long periods in various hospital niches. Due to their increasing resilience to antimicrobial treatments, A. baumannii biofilms are difficult to control and ultimately eradicate. Overcoming the significant challenges pose by A. baumannii require fundamental insights into mechanisms involved in the development of mature biofilm and thus, may help to develop novel strategies for biofilm prevention and control. To unravel critical determinants of this sessile lifestyle, we compared the proteome profiles of bacteria grown in planktonic stationary phase with those of two A. baumannii strains (ATCC 17978 and SDF), harboring specific features regarding biofilm formation, grown in mature solid-liquid (S-L) biofilm using a proteomic quantitative study. Of interest, among the 69 common proteins determinants accumulated in the two strains at the S-L interface, we sorted out the MacAB-TolC system. This tripartite efflux pump appears to play a role in A. baumannii biofilm formation as demonstrated by using ΔmacAB-tolC deletion mutant. Complementary approaches allowed us to get an overview of the impact of macAB-tolC deletion in A. baumannii physiology. Indeed, this efflux pump appeared to be involved in the envelope stress response occurring in mature biofilm and contributes to maintain WT membrane rigidity as well as tolerance to high osmolarity conditions. In addition, this system is probably involved in the maintenance of iron and sulfur homeostasis. MacAB-TolC might help this pathogen facing and adapting to biofilm architecture which is heterogeneous in space and time, especially in mature biofilm. Increasing our knowledge of A. baumannii biofilm formation will undoubtedly help us develop new therapeutic strategies to tackle this emerging threat to human health.

Project description:Purpose: Celiac disease (CD) is a risk factor for developing Small Bowel Carcinoma (SBC) with a 14 folds higher risk than that of the general population. As SBCs associated with CD (CD-SBCs) are extremely rare, very few molecular data are currently available about their pathogenesis and information about CD-SBC transcriptomic profiling is completely lacking. Patients and Methods: We generated RNA-seq data on 13 CD-SBCs selected from the largest and well-characterized series of CD-SBCs published so far that was collected by the Small Bowel Cancer Italian Consortium. In all cases we compared the CD-SBC transcriptional signatures with the four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) applying the ‘CMS classifier’. CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP+) was evaluated in all cases using methylation-sensitive multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification. Results: RNA-based signatures of CD-SBCs exhibited strong similarities with CRCs. Twelve of 13 CD-SBCs (92%) fell within the two main subtypes exhibiting high immune and inflammatory signatures, i.e. CMS1 and CMS4. CMS1 CD-SBCs (62% of cases) were commonly MSI/CIMP+ tumors and showed increased expression of genes associated with a diffuse TH1 and cytotoxic T immune infiltrate, up-regulation of apoptosis, cell cycle progression and proteasome pathways. CMS4 CD-SBCs (31% of cases) showed prominent TGF-β activation and were characterized by complement-associated inflammation, matrix remodeling, stromal invasion and angiogenesis Conclusions: RNA-based signatures of CD-SBCs strongly recapitulate CMS classification of CRC, give a promising tool to improve our knowledge of this rare entity and provide clinically useful information using the wealth of data available for CRC.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the best examples depicting the relationship between inflammation and increased cancer risk. The introduction of new therapeutic options targeting the inflammatory mediators has been shown to markedly decrease the overall risk of CRC even though their chemopreventive potential is still under debate [1,2]. Specifically, conflicting reports exist concerning the relationship between Infliximab, a monoclonal antibody that specifically blocks Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), and an increased risk of CRC in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). To address the axis between TNF and CRC development and progression, we depleted the Tnf from our previously established murine model of colitis-associated cancer (CAC), the Winnie-ApcMin/+ line. Surprisingly, a detailed histological characterization, demonstrated that the deletion of Tnf in Winnie-ApcMin/+ mice resulted in an initial reduction of dysplastic lesions incidence in 5-week-old mice, followed by faster disease progression with a unique molecular pattern at 8 weeks. Our results highlight that TNF could exert a dual role in CAC supporting the promotion of neoplastic lesions onset at the early stage of the disease and inducing their reduction during disease progression.

Project description:Lysine acetylation is a prevalent post-translational modification in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Whereas this modification is known to play pivotal roles in eukaryotes, the function and extent of this modification in prokaryotic cells remain largely unexplored. Here we report the acetylome of a pair of antibiotic-sensitive and -resistant nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii SK17-S and SK17-R. A total of 145 lysine acetylation sites on 125 proteins was identified, and there are 23 acetylated proteins found in both strains, including histone-like protein HU which was found to be acetylated at Lys13. HU is a dimeric DNA-binding protein critical for maintaining chromosomal architecture and other DNA-dependent functions. To analyze the effects of site-specific acetylation, homogenously Lys13-acetylated HU protein, HU(K13ac) was prepared by genetic code expansion. Whilst not exerting an obvious effect on the oligomeric state, Lys13 acetylation alters both the thermal stability and DNA binding kinetics of HU. Accordingly, this modification likely destabilizes the chromosome structure and regulates bacterial gene transcription. By preparing and characterizing site-specifically acetylated bacterial protein for the first time, this work indicates that acetyllysine plays an important role in bacterial epigenetics and presents a promising target against bacterial infections.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogen, accountable for lethal nosocomial infections, owing to its high pathogenicity and multi-drug resistance (MDR). Hence, the World Health Organization (WHO) has prioritized this bacterium against which new pharmacophores are required urgently. Therefore, this study evaluates the antimicrobial potential of lithium complex based on salicylic acid, and 1,10-phenanthroline ([Li(phen)2sal]) against MDR A. baumannii (MDRAB) through growth inhibition, time-kill assay, biofilm inhibition, and eradication alongside microscopy. The mechanism of action was proposed by flow cytometry and proteomic analysis. Moreover, its in-vivo efficacy was assessed using A. baumannii-induced pneumonia model in mice. Results showed that lithium complex significantly inhibited the bacterial growth at 16-32 µg/ml. Time kill analysis revealed that the compound retarded the bacterial growth after 2-3 h of treatment. Lithium complex significantly inhibited and eradicated >70% of biofilms at the MIC level which is a key problem of indwelling and prosthetic devices. Light and atomic force microscopy further indicated disarticulated biofilm and ruptured cellular membrane post-lithium complex treatment. Proteomic analysis revealed that lithium complex exerted oxidative stress on A. baumannii which may contribute to cell rupturing. Flow cytometry confirmed the role of lithium complex in cytoplasmic membrane disintegration. The compound ameliorated the pneumonia symptoms at non-toxic doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg in the pre-clinical A. baumannii-induced pneumonia model as evident by the significant reduction in bacterial burden and parenchymal inflammation. Taken together, these findings suggest that the lithium complex can be a potential drug candidate against MDR A. baumannii.
