RNA-Seq of mice ileal tissue in the presence of Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e and intestinal microbiota.

ABSTRACT: The higher susceptibility of the germ-free (GF) mice to bacterial infection has been proposed to be due to a lack of host immune defense. We hypothesized that this lower efficiency to mount a proficient defense might correlate with an aberrant miRNA expression, leading to the host failure to adapt its gene transcriptomic response to infection. To explore this hypothesis, we undertook a thorough transcriptional analysis of the host intestine in uninfected conventional (CV0) and germ-free (GF0) mice, by monitoring both the miRNA and mRNA expression levels. Crossing of the intestinal epithelial barrier is the first step of L. monocytogenes oral infection. Total eukaryotic RNAs were extracted from the ileum of uninfected conventional (CV0) and germ-free (GF0) mice and from L. monocytogenes infected conventional and germ-free mice 24h p.i (CV24 and GF24, respectively) and 72h p.i (CV72 and GF72, respectively). From these samples, transcriptome profiles were generated using Illumina sequencing for miRNA expression or microarrays for mRNA expression. Results from this experiment are from the sequencing assays. The microarray data set has also been deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-1800 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1800/).

Project description:The cellular proteome is the set of expressed proteins at a given time and defines an organism's phenotype under specific conditions. The proteome is shaped and remodeled by both protein synthesis and degradation. In this study, we combined metabolic and chemical isobaric peptide labeling to simultaneously determine protein decay and de novo synthesis of intracellular Listeria monocytogenes, while focusing on the role of the AAA+ chaperone protein ClpC. ClpC associates with the peptidase ClpP to form an ATP-dependent protease complex and has been shown to play a role in virulence development in the human pathogen L. monocytogenes. However, the mechanism by which ClpC is involved in the survival and proliferation of intracellular L.monocytogenes remains elusive. We observed extensive proteome remodeling in L. monocytogenes upon interaction with the host, supporting the hypothesis that ClpC-dependent protein degradation is required to initiate bacterial adaptation mechanisms. We identified more than 100 putative ClpC target proteins through their stabilization in a clpC deletion strain. Beyond the identification of direct targets, we also observed indirect effects of the clpC deletion on the protein abundance in diverse cellular and metabolic pathways, such as iron acquisition and flagellar assembly. Overall, our data highlights the crucial role of ClpC for L. monocytogenes adaptation to the host environment through proteome remodeling. Importance Survival and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria inside the host depend on their ability to adapt to the changing environment. It is therefore important to profile the underlying changes on the bacterial proteome level during the infection process to understand pathogenesis and host-dependent adaptation processes. The interplay between protein synthesis and decay governs cellular protein abundance. SILAC pulse labeling enables direct readout of these events during infection. Combining this approach with tandem-mass-tag (TMT) labeling enabled multiplexed and time-resolved bacterial proteome quantification during infection. We applied this integrated approach to investigate protein turnover during the temporal progression of bacterial adaptation to the host on a system-wide scale. Our experimental approach can easily be transferred to probe the proteome remodeling in other bacteria under a variety of perturbations.

Project description:PrfA activity was studied in L. monocytogenes strain EGD and in an isogenic prfA deletion mutant (EGDΔprfA) carrying multiple copies of the wild-type prfA or the mutant prfA* gene (strains EGDΔprfApPrfA and EGDΔprfApPrfA*) after growth in brain heart infusion (BHI), Luria-Bertani broth (LB) or a defined minimal medium (MM) supplemented either with one of the three PTS-carbohydrates, glucose, mannose and cellobiose, or the non-PTS carbon source glycerol. Low PrfA activity was observed in the wild-type EGD strain in BHI and LB with either of these carbon sources, while PrfA activity was high in minimal medium in presence of glycerol but significantly reduced in presence of cellobiose. The strains expressing the prfA and prfA* gene under the prfA promoters, P1 and P2, produced equally large amounts of PrfA protein and high PrfA activity was observed in strain EGDΔprfApPrfA* under all growth conditions. In contrast, high PrfA activity in strain EGDΔprfApPrfA was only observed when this strain was cultured in BHI but not in LB or MM (in presence of either carbon source). A ptsH mutant (lacking a functional HPr) was able to grow in BHI suggesting that growth of L. monocytogenes in this culture medium is supported by carbon sources whose uptake and metabolism are independent of the PTS pathway. However, this mutant was unable to grow in LB and MM regardless which of the four carbon sources was added, suggesting that uptake of the used carbohydrates and the catabolism of glycerol depend fully on the functional common PTS pathway. Furthermore, the growth rates of L. monocytogenes are strongly reduced in presence of large amounts of PrfA protein when growing MM but less in LB and only slightly in BHI. The expression profiles of the genes encoding PTS permeases were determined in the three strains under various growth conditions. The data suggest that PrfA activity correlates with the expression level and the phosphorylation state of specific PTS permeases. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE12143: Listeria monocytogenes EGD after growth BHI vs. LB vs. MM GSE12145: Listeria monocytogenes EGDΔprfApPrfA and EGDΔprfApPrfA* compared to the wild type strain EGD GSE12146: Listeria monocytogenes EGD and EGD-e
