Intracellular Localization and Gene Expression Analysis Provides New Insights on LEA Proteins' Diversity in Anhydrobiotic Cell Line.

ABSTRACT: Anhydrobiosis, an adaptive ability to withstand complete desiccation, in the nonbiting midge Polypedilum vanderplanki, is associated with the emergence of new multimember gene families, including a group of 27 genes of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins (PvLea). To obtain new insights into the possible functional specialization of these genes, we investigated the expression and localization of PvLea genes in a P. vanderplanki-derived cell line (Pv11), capable of anhydrobiosis. We confirmed that all but two PvLea genes identified in the genome of P. vanderplanki are expressed in Pv11 cells. Moreover, PvLea genes are induced in Pv11 cells in response to anhydrobiosis-inducing trehalose treatment in a manner highly similar to the larvae of P. vanderplanki during the real induction of anhydrobiosis. Then, we expanded our previous data on PvLEA proteins localization in mammalian cells that were obtained using C-terminal fusions of PvLEA proteins and green fluorescent protein (GFP). We investigated PvLEA localization using N- and C-terminal fusions with GFP in Pv11 cells and the Sf9 insect cell line. We observed an inconsistency of PvLEA localization between different fusion types and different cell cultures, that needs to be taken into account when using PvLEA in the engineering of anhydrobiotic cell lines.

Project description:AimsIn infective endocarditis (IE), a severe inflammatory disease of the endocardium with an unchanged incidence and mortality rate over the past decades, only 1% of the cases have been described as polymicrobial infections based on microbiological approaches. The aim of this study was to identify potential biodiversity of bacterial species from infected native and prosthetic valves. Furthermore, we compared the ultrastructural micro-environments to detect the localization and distribution patterns of pathogens in IE.Material and methodsUsing next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 16S rDNA, which allows analysis of the entire bacterial community within a single sample, we investigated the biodiversity of infectious bacterial species from resected native and prosthetic valves in a clinical cohort of 8 IE patients. Furthermore, we investigated the ultrastructural infected valve micro-environment by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).ResultsBiodiversity was detected in 7 of 8 resected heart valves. This comprised 13 bacterial genera and 16 species. In addition to 11 pathogens already described as being IE related, 5 bacterial species were identified as having a novel association. In contrast, valve and blood culture-based diagnosis revealed only 4 species from 3 bacterial genera and did not show any relevant antibiotic resistance. The antibiotics chosen on this basis for treatment, however, did not cover the bacterial spectra identified by our amplicon sequencing analysis in 4 of 8 cases. In addition to intramural distribution patterns of infective bacteria, intracellular localization with evidence of bacterial immune escape mechanisms was identified.ConclusionThe high frequency of polymicrobial infections, pathogen diversity, and intracellular persistence of common IE-causing bacteria may provide clues to help explain the persistent and devastating mortality rate observed for IE. Improved bacterial diagnosis by 16S rDNA NGS that increases the ability to tailor antibiotic therapy may result in improved outcomes.
