In vivo transcriptome analysis of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli under the control of RstA/RstB two-component regulatory system

ABSTRACT: APEC cause avian colibacillosis in poultry, characterized by the systematic infection, such as septicemia, airsacculitis, and pericarditis. APEC mainly use two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) to deal with the stressing environments in host during their infection. Whereas most TCSs in E.coli are well characterized, the characterization of RstA/RstB in APEC has not been thoroughly investigated. To understand the whole picture of RstA/RstB regulation, especially its role in virulence regulation, transcriptional analysis of the effect of rstAB deletion was performed in vivo. We compared the transcriptome of rstAB mutant and its wild-type strain during their growth in bloodstream of challenged chickens. In total, the transcripts of 85 genes were down-regulated by rstAB deletion while 113 were up-regulated at least twofold (cutoff limitation for fold change >2 or <0.5 and Cuffdiff P-value <0.05 was used to select differential expression genes). Our data showed that the RstA/RstB was a by-function regulator system, acting as both an activator and a repressor. The RstAB mainly regulated systems involved in nitrogen metabolism, bacterial virulence, iron acquisition and acid resistance.

Expression data from Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli

Project description:Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are a group of extra-intestinal E. coli that infect poultry, and are able to cause a variety of diseases, systemic or localized, collectively designated as colibacillosis. Colibacillosis is the most common bacterial illness in poultry production, resulting in significant economic losses world-wide. Despite of its importance, pathogenicity mechanisms of APEC strains remain not completelly elucidated and available vaccines are not fully effectives. In order to better understand which genes could be related to pathogenicity in different APEC isolated, a microarray analyses of two APEC strains representing: Swollen Head Syndrome and Omphalitis was carried out. We used the microarray methodology to evaluate the expression profile of two different APEC strains

ChIP-seq and RNA-seq for TCSs in Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Bacteria relies on two-component systems (TCSs) to respond to a wide range of stimuli or environmental cues for their survival and virulence. However, the functions and synergistic actions of TCSs in genomic level remains unclear. Here, in model phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae, by integrating multiomics data, we developed a network-based PSTCSome (Pseudomonas syringae two-component systems regulome) to identify functions and crosstalk among global TCSs under either virulence suppressing (King’s B medium, KB) or activating conditions (minimal medium, MM). Transcriptome profiling identifies 2,099 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in KB and 1,250 DEGs in MM, while ChIP-seq identifies 1,628 target genes across the whole genome. The multiomics results are applied to perform not only gene ontology (GO) analysis to detect the biological processes that TCSs involved in, but also subnetworks and co-expression analysis of 8 virulence-related pathways to decipher the TCSs regulated pathogenic behaviors. The following phenotypic experiments newly confirmed 8 TCSs that regulates type III secretion system (T3SS) (PSPPH_0253, PSPPH_2606, PSPPH_4416, and PSPPH_4451) and surface attachment (PSPPH_0253, PSPPH_3041, PSPPH_3473, PSPPH_3736, PSPPH_4001). We then compute 259 functional genes in KB and 161 in MM for those cluster TCSs. Analysis of cluster TCSs regulons led to the identification of either novel functions or 2 master regulatory TCSs (RhpS/RhpR and PSPPH_4827/4828) toward virulence. Our results show that TCSs in P. syringae dynamically adjust their regulatory networks by sensing the external environment, and then switch bacteria between pathogenic and non-pathogenic states in a sophisticated way. Furthermore, we present an online platform of PSTCSome to facilitate updating, network visualization and user-customized analyses.

Transcriptome analysis of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli O1 in chicken serum compared to LB

Project description:Colisepticemia caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) results in annual multimillion dollar losses to the poultry industry. Recent research suggests that APEC may have an important role in public health as well. Generally, colisepticemia follows a respiratory tract infection in which APEC penetrate the respiratory epithelium to enter the bloodstream. From the bloodstream, bacteria may spread to various internal organs resulting in perihepatitis, pericarditis, and other conditions. The aim of this study was to identify molecular mechanisms enabling APEC to survive and grow in the bloodstream. To do so, we compared the transcriptome of APEC O1 during growth in Luria-Bertani broth and chicken serum. Selected genes that were significantly up-regulated in chicken serum were then subjected to mutational analysis to confirm their role in APEC pathogenesis. Several categories of genes, predicted to contribute to adaptation and growth in the avian host, were identified. These included several known virulence genes and genes involved in adaptive metabolism, protein transport, biosynthesis pathways, stress resistance, and virulence regulation. Several genes with unknown function, which were localized to pathogenicity islands or APEC O1’s large virulence plasmid, were also identified, suggesting that they too contribute to survival in chicken serum. This genome-wide analysis provides novel insight into processes that are essential to APEC O1’s survival and growth in chicken serum.

StoS and SreKRS iTRAQ profiling

Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a notorious rice pathogen that causes the destructive rice disease bacterial blight. Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) are widely used by bacteria to sense and adapt to the environment. However, the profound mechanism how the TCSs execute the environmental adaption remains elusive. In this study, genome-wide TCSs gene knockout in Xoo PXO99A found that StoS (stress tolerance-related oxygen sensor) and SreKRS (salt response kinase, regulator, and sensor) positively regulate EPS production and swarming. Surprisingly, the compromise of two important virulence traits and stress resistance did not attenuate the virulence. To better understand intrinsic function of StoS and SreKRS, quantitative proteomic isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was employed. iTRAQ data indicated that carbohydrate metabolisms proteins and chemotaxis proteins, which could be responsible for the EPS and swarming regulation, respectively, were down-regulated in stoS and sreK mutants. Consistent with stoS and sreK mutants exhibiting similar phenotype, the signaling circuits of StoS and SreKRS were found to overlap each other. Moreover, StoS and SreKRS were revealed to moderate expression of the major virulence factor, hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (Hrp) proteins by HrpG-HrpX circuit. Most important, we found that the Xoo strain equipped with StoS and SreKRS outcompete the strain without StoS or SreKRS co-infecting rice and growing outside host. Our findings imply the two TCSs, StoS and SreKRS, could confer environmental fitness on Xoo. Therefore, here we proposed that StoS and SreKRS adopt a novel strategy by moderating Hrp protein expression together with promoting the EPS and motility to adapt to environment.

Host response and prevention of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli following vaccination with an attenuated Salmonella expressing E. coli common pilus in chickens

Project description:Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a subset of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli that causes detrimental losses to the poultry industry. Vaccines to reduce APEC in chickens have been partially successful, but many lack protection against multiple serotypes of APEC. Recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccine (RASV) strains have been used to induce immunity against Salmonella in production chickens and can be modified to deliver foreign antigens as well. This study evaluated the transcriptome of chicken spleens and assessed prevention of APEC infection following vaccination with RASV strains, including a RASV carrying an E. coli antigen. Four-day-old White Leghorn chicks were orally vaccinated with RASV c8025(pYA3337) carrying an empty plasmid, c8025(pYA4428) carrying genes for E. coli common pilus (ECP), a combination of RASVs c8025(pYA3337) and c8025(pYA4428), or PBS (unvaccinated). To assess the host response to vaccination, antibody titers were measured by ELISA and spleen samples (n = 5) were collected from combination vaccinated and unvaccinated groups of four-week-old chickens for RNA sequencing. Five-week old chickens were challenged via air sac with APEC strains APEC-O2 and c7122 (O78). Blood was obtained 24 hours post-challenge, heart, liver, lung, and spleen were collected 48 hours post-challenge for enumeration of E. coli, and gross colibacillosis lesions were scored at necropsy. Chickens vaccinated with RASV strains elicited anti-E. coli EcpA, as well as cross reactive anti-E. coli IutA and IroN IgY antibodies. IgA results. In some organs, bacterial loads and lesions scores were numerically reduced, but no significant differences were detected for vaccinated compared to unvaccinated chickens. Transcriptome results. This data indicates that RASVs could be used to stimulate the immune system and is an initial step toward developing improved therapeutics to combat APEC infections in chickens.

The phage-encoded PIT4 protein impacts the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pili by affecting different two-component systems

Project description:Two component systems (TCSs) control a large proportion of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Yet, investigations on inhibitors of regulatory pathways of TCS remain scare, despite their potential in anti-virulence strategies. This work encompasses the working mechanism of PIT4, a protein derived from the lytic P. aeruginosa phage LSL4. This viral protein inhibits bacterial motility and in particular twitching motility, while reducing the virulence of P. aeruginosa towards HeLa cells. Via differential gene expression and a yeast two-hybrid screen, PIT4 was shown to interact with components of different two component systems. In one-on-one interaction assays, it was confirmed that PIT4 interacts with the histidine kinases FleS, PilS and PA2882, through interaction with the histidine kinase domain. As such, this work highlights the potential of previously unknown phage proteins in virulence regulation of multidrug resistant pathogens that might be exploited for anti-virulence strategies and biotechnological applications.

Staphylococcus epidermidis: wild type vs lytSR mutant

Project description:The custom-made S. epidermidis GeneChips(Shanghai Biochip Co., Ltd) included qualifiers representing open reading frame (ORF) sequences identified in the genomes of the S. epidermidis strain RP62A, as well as unique ORFs in S. epidermidis strain 12228. The GeneChips were composed of cDNA array containing PCR products of 2316 genes and oligonucleotide array containing 252 genes.Two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) play a pivotal role in bacterial adaptation, survival, and virulence by sensing changes in the external environment and modulating gene expression in response to a variety of stimuli.To investigate the regulatory role of LytSR, one of the TCSs identified in the genomes of S. epidermidis, we used the GeneChips to perform a transcriptional profile analysis of the wild strain and lytSR mutant. Wild type untreated in triplicate is compared to lytSR mutant in triplicate for cDNA array and four replicates on the oligo array.

Two-component signal transduction systems in Streptomyces and related organisms

Project description:Two component sensor-response regulator systems (TCSs) are very common in the genomes of the Streptomyces species that have been fully sequenced to date. It has been suggested that this large number is an evolutionary response to the variable environment that Streptomyces encounter in soil. Notwithstanding this, TCSs are also more common in the sequenced genomes of other Actinomycetales when these are compared to the genomes of most other eubacteria. In this study, we have used DNA/DNA genome microarray analysis to compare fourteen Streptomyces species and one closely related genus to Streptomyces coelicolor in order to identify a core group of such systems. This core group is compared to the syntenous and non-syntenous TCSs present in the genome sequences of other Actinomycetales in order to separate the systems into those present in Actinomycetales in general, the Streptomyces specific systems and the species specific systems. Horizontal transfer does not seem to play a very important role in the evolution of the TCS complement analyzed in this study. However, cognate pairs do not necessarily seem to evolve at the same pace, which may indicate the evolutionary responses to environmental variation may be reflected differently in sequence changes within the two components of the TCSs. The overall analysis allowed subclassification of the orphan TCSs and the TCS cognate pairs and identification of possible targets for further study using gene knockouts, gene overexpression, reporter genes and yeast two hybrid analysis.
