Borrelia burgdorferi induces a type I interferon response during early stages of disseminated infection in mice

ABSTRACT: Background: Lyme borrelia genotypes differ in their capacity to cause disseminated disease. Gene array analysis was employed to profile the host transcriptome induced by Borrelia burgdorferi strains with different capacities for causing disseminated disease in the blood of C3H/HeJ mice during early infection. Results: Borrelia burgdorferi B515, a clinical isolate that causes disseminated infection in mice, differentially regulated 236 transcripts (P<0.05 by ANOVA, with fold change of at least 2). The 216 significantly induced transcripts included IFN-responsive genes and genes involved in immunity and inflammation. In contrast, B. burgdorferi B331, a clinical isolate that causes transient skin infection but does not disseminate in C3H/HeJ mice, stimulated changes in only a few genes (1 induced, 4 repressed). Transcriptional regulation of type I IFN and IFN-related genes was measured by quantitative RT-PCR in mouse skin biopsies collected from the site of infection 24 hours after inoculation with B. burgdorferi. The mean values for transcript of Ifnb, Cxcl10, Gbp1, Ifit1, Ifit3, Irf7, Mx1, and Stat2, were found to be significantly increased in B. burgdorferi strain B515-infected mice relative to the control group. In contrast, transcription of these genes was not significantly changed in response to B. burgdorferi strain B331 or B31-4, a mutant that is unable to disseminate. Conclusions: These results establish a positive association between the disseminating capacity of B. burgdorferi and early type I IFN induction in a murine model of Lyme disease.

Transcription profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or untreated to investigate immune responses to Lyme disease

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, promotes pro-inflammatory changes in endothelium that lead to the recruitment of leukocytes. The host immune response to infection results in increased levels of IFN-gamma in the serum and lesions of Lyme disease patients that correlate with greater severity of disease. Therefore, the effect of IFN-gamma on the gene expression profile of primary human endothelial cells exposed to B. burgdorferi was determined. B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma synergistically augmented the expression of 34 genes, seven of which encode chemokines. Six of these (CCL7, CCL8, CX3CL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11) attract T lymphocytes, and one (CXCL2) is specific for neutrophils. Synergistic production of the attractants for T cells was confirmed at the protein level. IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and LPS also cooperated with IFN-gamma to induce synergistic production of CXCL10 by endothelium, indicating that IFN-gamma potentiates inflammation in concert with a variety of mediators. An in vitro model of the blood vessel wall revealed that an increased number of human T lymphocytes traversed endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi and IFN-gamma, as compared to unstimulated endothelial monolayers. In contrast, addition of IFN-gamma diminished the migration of neutrophils across B. burgdorferi-activated endothelium. IFN-gamma thus alters gene expression by endothelium exposed to B. burgdorferi in a manner that promotes recruitment of T cells and suppresses that of neutrophils. This modulation may facilitate the development of chronic inflammatory lesions in Lyme disease. Experiment Overall Design: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were stimulated with Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Borrelia burgdorferi or both IFN-g and Borrelia or were left unstimulated. Affymetrix HGU133 plus 2.0 slides were used in duplicate for each condition.

Identification of the differences between gene expression in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF cell line) infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes

Project description:The similarity of Lyme borreliosis to other diseases and the complex pathogenesis cause diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Changes at the cellular and molecular level after Borrelia sp. infection remain still poorly understood. Therefore, the present study focused on the gene expression in human dermal fibroblasts in differentiation of infection with Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto spirochetes. For microarray analysis 10 samples were used: 3 control samples - K, 2 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia garinii - G, 2 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia afzelii - A and 3 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto - SS.

B31 vs rrp1 mutant

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of gene expression between parental strain B31 and rrp1 mutant. Cyclic-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger that modulates many biological processes. Although its role in bacterial pathogenesis during mammalian infection has been widely recognized, the role of c-di-GMP in pathogen's life cycle in vector hosts is less understood. The enzootic cycle of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi involves both a mammalian host and an Ixodes tick vector. The B. burgdorferi genome encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (rrp1), which is responsible for the production of c-di-GMP. To determine the role of c-di-GMP in the life cycle of B. burgdorferi, an Rrp1-deficient B. burgdorferi strain was generated. The rrp1 mutant remains infectious in the mammalian host, but could not survive in the tick vector. To identify the mechanisms of Rrp1 contributing to B. burgdorferi pathogenesis and gene regulation, microarray was employed to compare gene expression profiles between the parental strain B31 and the rrp1 mutant. Two-condition experiment, B31 vs. rrp1 mutant. Biological replicates: 3 B31, 3 rrp1 mutant, independently grown and harvested. One replicate (dye-swap) per array.

Global transcriptome analysis of B. burgdorferi during adherence and invasion of human neuroglial cells

Project description:As adherence and entry of a pathogen into a host cell are two key components to an infection, identifying the molecular mechanisms responsible for cellular association will provide a better understanding of a microbeâs ability for pathogenesis. We previously established an in vitro model for B. burgdorferi invasion of human neuroglial cells. To expand on our earlier study, we performed B. burgdorferi whole-genome expression analysis following a 20-hour infection of human neuroglial cells to identify borrelial genes that were differentially regulated during cellular attachment and invasion as compared with cultured Borrelia in cell-free medium. This study identifies several regulated genes, the products of which may be important mediators for cellular pathogenesis. Keywords: in-vitro H4 neuroglial cells infected with B. burgdorferi A 20-hour incubation was performed, and this time point included B. burgdorferi that were both intra- and extra-cellularly localized to the H4 cells (Livengood and Gilmore, 2006). After B. burgdorferi infection of these cells, the total cellular RNA preparation (including H4 RNA, and Borrelia RNA) was enriched for prokaryotic RNA, which concentrated the bacterial message, but did not completely eliminate the eukaryotic RNA (data not shown). Therefore, as a control in our arrays, eukaryotic RNA from the human H4 cells was also purified and hybridized to the array. To control for Borrelia cell-free gene expression, the data from the experimental conditions (B. burgdorferi infected human cells) was normalized to borrelial expression following growth in BSK and a 20 hour incubation in DMEM tissue culture media. As with the experimental samples, both controls were assayed in triplicate.

Characterization of the RelBbu regulon in Borrelia burgdorferi reveals modulation of glycerol metabolism by (p)ppGpp

Project description:The bacterial stringent response is triggered by deficiencies of available nutrients andother environmental stresses. It is mediated by 5'-triphosphate-guanosine-3'- diphosphate and 5'-diphosphate-guanosine-3'-diphosphate (collectively (p)ppGpp) and generates global changes in gene expression and metabolism that enable bacteria to adapt to and survive these challenges. Borrelia burgdorferi encounters multiple stressors in its cycling between ticks and mammals that could trigger the stringent response. We have previously shown that the B. burgdorferi stringent response is mediated by a single enzyme, RelBbu, with both (p)ppGpp synthase and hydrolase activities, and that a B. burgdorferi 297 relBbu null deletion mutant was defective in adapting to stationary phase, incapable of down-regulating synthesis of rRNA and could not infect mice. We have now used this deletion mutant and microarray analysis to identify genes comprising the rel regulon in B. burgdorferi cultured at 34°C, and found that transcription of genes involved in glycerol metabolism is induced by relBbu. Culture of the wild-type parental strain, the relBbu deletion mutant and its complemented derivative at 34°C and 25°C in media containing glucose or glycerol as principal carbon sources revealed a growth defect in the mutant, most evident at the lower temperature. Transcriptional analysis of the glp operon for glycerol uptake and metabolism in these three strains confirmed that relBbu was necessary and sufficient to increase transcription of this operon in the presence of glycerol at both temperatures, and particularly at 25°C. These results confirm and extend previous findings regarding the stringent response in B. burgdorferi. They also demonstrate that the stringent response regulates glycerol metabolism in this organism and is likely crucial for its optimal growth in ticks.

Stage-Specific Alterations in the Transcriptome of Lyme Disease Spirochetes During Tick Feeding and Following Mammalian Host-Adaptation

Project description:To compare the transcriptional profiles of Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) during acquisition (fed larvae), transmission (fed nymphs) and in a mammalian host-like environment (dialysis membrane chambers [DMC]).RNA was isolated from an infected tick (Ixodus scapularis) samples, DMC and in vitro cultures. Array hybridization was performed with 7 RNA samples (from 5 biological replicates) obtained from fed nymphs and 10 RNA samples (from 6 biological replicates) obtained from fed larvae. Mammalian host-adapted spirochetes were generated by growth in DMCs. 4 arrays (2 biological replicates) were performed with DMC samples and in vitro-cultivated (temperature-shifted) samples.RNA was labeled with Cy3and as an internal standard for array hybridization, B. burgdorferi genomic DNA was labeled with Cy5 hybridized to Bb 70-mer slide arrays.Signal was acquired on a GenePix scanner. Background subtracted intensities obtained for each gene were normalized to one reference array using Microsoft Excel. Normalized data sets were further refined using GeneSpring software. A gene was scored as expressed if pixel intensity was >75 and was detected in a majority of arrays for given condition. Differentially expressed genes were identified as those with a fold change >2 at P<0.02 through gene-by-gene comparison of normalized expression data sets using an unpaired t-test within GeneSpring GX12.5.

Epigenomic landscape of Lyme disease spirochetes reveals novel motifs

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, persists in nature through an enzootic cycle consisting of a vertebrate host and an Ixodes tick vector. The sequence motifs modified by two well-characterized restriction/modification loci of B. burgdorferi type strain B31 were recently described, but the methylation profiles of other Lyme disease Borrelia have not been characterized. Herein, the methylomes of B. burgdorferi type strain B31 and 7 clonal derivatives, along with B. burgdorferi N40, B. burgdorferi 297, B. burgdorferi CA-11, B. afzelii PKo, B. afzelii BO23, and B. garinii PBr, were defined through PacBio SMRT sequencing. This analysis revealed 9 novel sequence motifs methylated by the plasmid-encoded restriction/modification enzymes of these Borrelia strains. Furthermore, while a previous analysis of B. burgdorferi B31 revealed an epigenetic impact of methylation on the global transcriptome, the current data contradict those findings; our analyses of wild-type B. burgdorferi B31 revealed no consistent differences in gene expression among isogenic derivatives lacking one or more restriction/modification enzyme(s).
