Project description:Clostridioides difficile, the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea worldwide, is a genetically diverse species which can metabolise a number of nutrient sources upon colonising a dysbiotic gut environment. Trehalose, a disaccharide sugar consisting of two glucose molecules bonded by an α 1,1-glycosidic bond, has been hypothesised to be involved in the emergence of C. difficile hypervirulence due to its increased utilisation by the RT027 and RT078 strains. Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we report the identification of a putative trehalose metabolism pathway which is induced during growth in trehalose: this has not been previously described within the C. difficile species. These data demonstrate the metabolic diversity exhibited by C. difficile which warrants further investigation to elucidate the molecular basis of trehalose metabolism within this important gut pathogen.

Project description:Trehalose is the nonreducing disaccharide of glucose, evolutionarily conserved in invertebrates. The living skin equivalent (LSE) is an organotypic coculture containing keratinocytes cultivated on fibroblast-populated dermal substitutes. We demonstrated that human primary fibroblasts treated with highly concentrated trehalose promote significantly extensive spread of the epidermal layer of LSE without any deleterious effects. The RNA-seq analysis of trehalose-treated 2D and 3D fibroblasts at early time points revealed the involvement of the CDKN1A pathway, the knockdown of which significantly suppressed the upregulation of DPT, ANGPT2, VEGFA, EREG, and FGF2. The trehalose-treated fibroblasts were positive for senescence-associated β-galactosidase. Finally, transplantation of the dermal substitute with trehalose-treated fibroblasts accelerated wound closure and increased capillary formation significantly in the experimental mouse wounds in vivo, which was canceled by the CDKN1A knockdown. These data indicate that high-concentration trehalose can induce the senescence-like state in fibroblasts via CDKN1A/p21, which may be therapeutically useful for optimal wound repair.

Project description:Here, we identify persistent and substantial variation in ethanol drinking behavior within an inbred mouse strain and utilize this model to identify gene networks influencing such non-genetic variation in ethanol intake. C57BL/6NCrl mice showed persistent inter-individual variation of ethanol intake in a two-bottle choice paradigm over a three week period, ranging from less than 1 g/kg to over 14 g/kg ethanol in an 18h interval. Whole genome microarray expression analysis in nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area of individual animals identified gene expression patterns correlated with ethanol intake. Results included several gene networks previously implicated in ethanol behaviors, such as glutamate signaling, BDNF and genes involved in synaptic vesicle function. Additionally, genes functioning in epigenetic chromatin or DNA modifications such as acetylation and/or methylation also had expression patterns correlated with ethanol intake. Our results thus implicate specific brain regional gene networks, including chromatin modification factors, as potentially important mechanisms underlying individual variation in ethanol intake. Voluntary two-bottle choice drinking was performed as described previously (Khisti et al. 2006). Briefly, two bottles containing 10%(w/v) ethanol (Aaper Alcohol and Chemical Co. Shelbyville, KY) or tap water were placed into the home cage at the beginning of the dark cycle. Tube position was varied every two days (L, L, R, R). Drinking sessions lasted 18 hours/day followed by 6 hours access to water only. Mice had four consecutive drinking sessions followed by four days of abstinence repeated four times to give 16 total drinking sessions. Three brain regions were harvested 6 days after the last drinking session: prefrontal cortex (PFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) as previously described (Kerns et al. 2005). Labeled cRNA from individual animals (n=19) was hybridized to a single microarray for each brain region (n=58 total microarrays).

Project description:The melanocortin system is a brain circuit that influences energy balance by regulating energy intake and expenditure. In addition, the brain-melanocortin system controls adipose tissue metabolism to optimize fuel mobilization and storage. Specifically, increased brain-melanocortin signaling or negative energy balance promotes lipid mobilization by increasing Sympathetic Nervous input to adipose tissue. In contrast, calorie-independent mechanisms favoring energy storage are less understood. Here we demonstrate that obesogenic signals, including reduction of brain-melanocortin signaling or high-fat feeding, actively promote fat mass gain independently of caloric intake via efferent nerve fibers conveyed by the common hepatic branch of the vagus nerve. These signals promote adipose tissue expansion by activating lipogenic program and adipocyte and endothelial cell proliferation independently of insulin action or the sympathetic tone to adipose tissue. These data reveal a novel physiological mechanism whereby the brain controls energy stores that may contribute to increased susceptibility to obesity.

Project description:The otsB2 gene encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase is essential for in vitro growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and required to establish an acute infection in mice. Essentiality of otsB2 is due to direct or indirect toxic effects associated with the substrate trehalose-6-phosphate that accumulates when OtsB2 gene expression is impaired. In order to gain insight into the molecular basis of trehalose-6-phosphate mediated toxic effects, whole genome transcriptome profiling was done using RNA-seq. A conditional otsB2 mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was generated by inserting an anhydrotetracycline-inducible promoter cassette upstream of the otsB2 start codon,and the transcriptome profile of a fully induced mutant resembling the wildtype phenotype was compared to that of a partially silenced mutant under conditions where 30% residual growth relative to the fully induced mutant was observed.

Project description:This data submission reports the effects of 12 weeks supplementaion of 10%w/v sucrose supplied in drinking water on the inguinal white adipose tissue mRNA profiles of male and female mice relative to control groups (littermates that received plain water instead). RNAseq was performed by Novogene and investigators performed all analyses downstream of readcount acquisition. Manuscript abstract: Almost all effective treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involve reduction of adiposity, which suggests the metabolic axis between liver and adipose tissue is essential to NAFLD development. Since excessive dietary sugar intake may be an initiating factor for NAFLD, we have characterized the metabolic effects of liquid sucrose intake at concentrations relevant to typical human consumption in mice. We report that sucrose intake induces sexually dimorphic effects in liver, adipose tissue, and the microbiome; differences concordant with steatosis severity. We show that when steatosis is decoupled from impairments in insulin responsiveness, sex is a moderating factor that influences sucrose-driven lipid storage and the contribution of de novo fatty acid synthesis to the overall hepatic triglyceride pool. Our findings provide physiologic insight into how sex influences the regulation of adipose-liver crosstalk and highlight the importance of extrahepatic metabolism in the pathogenesis of diet-induced steatosis and NAFLD.

Project description:Streptococcus mutans, the organism most frequently associated with the development of dental caries, is able to utilize a diverse array of carbohydrates for energy metabolism. One such molecule is trehalose, a disaccharide common in human foods, which has recently been implicated in enhancing the virulence of epidemic strains of the pathogen, Clostridium difficile. In this study, deletion mutants of all three genes in the putative S. mutans trehalose utilization operon were characterized and shown to be required for wild-type levels of growth when trehalose was the only carbohydrate source provided. Interestingly, the TreR transcriptional regulator appeared to be critical for responding to oxidative stress, and for mounting a protective stress tolerance response following growth at moderately acidic pH. RNAseq of a treR deletion mutant suggested that in S. mutans, TreR acts as a trehalose-sensing activator of transcription of the tre operon, rather than a repressor, as described in other species. In addition, deletion of treR caused the down-regulation of a number of genes involved in genetic competence and bacteriocin production, supporting results of a recent study linking trehalose and the S. mutans competence pathways. Finally, deletion of treR compromised the ability of S. mutans to inhibit the growth of the competing species, Streptococcus gordonii and Lactococcus lactis. Taken together, this study solidifies the role of the S. mutans tre operon in trehalose utilization and suggests novel functions for the TreR regulator, including roles in stress response and competitive fitness.

Project description:BACKGROUND. Dietary intake of saturated fat is a likely contributor to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance, but the mechanisms that initiate these abnormalities in humans remain unclear. We examined the effects of a single oral saturated fat load on insulin sensitivity, hepatic glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism in humans. Similarly, initiating mechanisms were examined after an equivalent challenge in mice. METHODS. Fourteen lean, healthy individuals randomly received either palm oil (PO) or vehicle (VCL). Hepatic metabolism was analyzed using in vivo 13C/31P/1H and ex vivo 2H magnetic resonance spectroscopy before and during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps with isotope dilution. Mice underwent identical clamp procedures and hepatic transcriptome analyses. RESULTS. PO administration decreased whole-body, hepatic, and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity by 25%, 15%, and 34%, respectively. Hepatic triglyceride and ATP content rose by 35% and 16%, respectively. Hepatic gluconeogenesis increased by 70%, and net glycogenolysis declined by 20%. Mouse transcriptomics revealed that PO differentially regulates predicted upstream regulators and pathways, including LPS, members of the TLR and PPAR families, NF-κB, and TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK). CONCLUSION. Saturated fat ingestion rapidly increases hepatic lipid storage, energy metabolism, and insulin resistance. This is accompanied by regulation of hepatic gene expression and signaling that may contribute to development of NAFLD.
