Project description:Altered tryptophan catabolism has been identified in inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA), but the causal mechanisms linking tryptophan metabolites to disease are unknown. Using the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model we identify alterations in tryptophan metabolism, and specifically indole, that correlate with disease. We demonstrate that both bacteria and dietary tryptophan are required for disease, and indole supplementation is sufficient to induce disease in their absence. When mice with CIA on a low-tryptophan diet were supplemented with indole, we observed significant increases in serum IL-6, TNF, and IL-1β; splenic RORγt+CD4+ T cells and ex vivo collagen-stimulated IL-17 production; and a pattern of anti-collagen antibody isotype switching and glycosylation that corresponded with increased complement fixation. IL-23 neutralization reduced disease severity in indole-induced CIA. Finally, exposure of human colon lymphocytes to indole increased expression of genes involved in IL-17 signaling and plasma cell activation. Altogether, we propose a mechanism by which intestinal dysbiosis during inflammatory arthritis results in altered tryptophan catabolism, leading to indole stimulation of arthritis development. Blockade of indole generation may present a novel therapeutic pathway for RA and SpA.

Project description:Vibrio campbellii BAA-1116 was used as a Harveyi clade model organism to determine the impact of indole signaling on virulence. Gene expression analysis of V. campbellii grown in LB35 broth with or without 100 μM indole revealed that indole decreased: (1) V. campbellii virulence in shrimp and prawn challenge assays, (2) exopolysaccharide production, and (3) swimming motility. The results also indicated that indole inhibits quorum sensing-regulated bioluminescence and blocks the three-channel quorum sensing system by interfering with quorum sensing signal transduction.

Project description:Differential gene expression analysis of C. glutamicum C1 in presence of 3 mM indole-alanine dipeptide compared to control conditions without indole-alanine dipeptide. C. glutamicum C1 cells were cultivated in CGXII minimal medium with 40 g per litre glucose in presence or absence of 3 mM indole-alanine dipeptide and harvested during exponential phase (o.d.600 6).

Project description:Indole is an intercellular and interkingdom signaling molecule, which is widespread in diverse ecological niches. Caenorhabditis elegans is a bacterivorous nematode living in soil and compost environments and a useful model host for the study of host-microbe interactions. While various bacteria and some plants produce a large quantity of extracellular indole, little is known about the effects of indole, its derivatives, and indole-producing bacteria on behaviors in C. elegans and animals. Here, we show that C. elegans senses and moves toward indole and indole-producing bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Shigella boydii, Providencia stuartii, and Klebsiella oxytoca, while avoids non-indole producing pathogenic bacteria. It was also found that indole-producing bacteria and non-indole-producing bacteria exert divergent effects on egg-laying behavior of C. elegans via indole. In addition, various indole derivatives also modulate chemotaxis, egg-laying behavior, and survival of C. elegans. In contrast, indole at a high concentration to kill C. elegans that has the ability to detoxify indole via oxidation and glucosylation, indicating predator-prey interactions via a double-edged molecule indole. Transcriptional analysis showed that indole markedly up-regulated gene expression of cytochrome P450 family, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, glutathione S-transferase, which explained well the modification of indole in C. elegans, while down-regulated expression of collagen genes and F-box genes. Our findings suggest that indole and its derivatives are important interkingdom signaling molecules in bacteria-nematode interactions.

Project description:We have shown the quorum-sensing signals acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), autoinducer-2 (AI-2), and indole influence the biofilm formation of Escherichia coli. Here, we investigate how the environment, i.e., temperature, affects indole and AI-2 signaling in E. coli. We show in biofilms that indole addition leads to more extensive differential gene expression at 30ï°C (186 genes) than at 37ï°C (59 genes), that indole reduces biofilm formation (without affecting growth) more significantly at 25ï°C and 30ï°C than at 37ï°C, and that the effect is associated with the quorum-sensing protein SdiA. The addition of indole at 30ï°C compared to 37ï°C most significantly repressed genes involved in uridine monophosphate (UMP) biosynthesis (carAB, pyrLBI, pyrC, pyrD, pyrF, and upp) and uracil transport (uraA). These uracil-related genes are also repressed at 30ï°C by SdiA, which confirms SdiA is involved in indole signaling. Also, compared to 37ï°C, indole more significantly decreased flagella-related qseB, flhD, and fliA promoter activity, enhanced antibiotic resistance, and inhibited cell division at 30ï°C. In contrast to indole and SdiA, the addition of (S)-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione (the AI-2 precursor) leads to more extensive differential gene expression at 37ï°C (63 genes) than at 30ï°C (11 genes), and, rather than repressing UMP synthesis genes, AI-2 induces them at 37ï°C (but not at 30ï°C). Also, the addition of AI-2 induces the transcription of virulence genes in enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 at 37oC but not at 30oC. Hence, cell signals cause diverse responses at different temperatures, and indole- and AI-2-based signaling are intertwined. Experiment Overall Design: We performed seven sets of microarray experiments in LB medium (Table 2): (i) biofilm cells of the BW25113 wild-type strain grown for 7 h at 30°C vs. 37°C to determine the effect of temperature on E. coli biofilm formation (initial absorbance of 0.05), (ii) biofilm cells of the tnaA mutant grown for 7 h with 1 mM indole vs. no indole at 30°C to determine the effect of temperature on indole signaling in E. coli (initial absorbance of 0.05), (iii) biofilm cells of the tnaA mutant grown for 7 h with 1 mM indole vs. no indole at 37°C to determine the effect of temperature on indole signaling in E. coli, (iv) suspension cells of the wild-type strain vs. the sdiA mutant at an absorbance of 4.0 at 600 nm at 30°C (since production of indole takes place primarily in the stationary phase) to discern the genes that SdiA controls (initial absorbance of 0.05), (v) biofilm cells of the sdiA mutant grown for 7 h with 1 mM indole vs. no indole at 30°C to determine gene expression in response to indole in the absence of SdiA, (vi) suspension cells of the luxS mutant with 100 micro M AI-2 vs. no AI-2 at 30°C for 3 h to determine the effect of temperature on AI-2 signaling in E. coli (initial absorbance of 0.5), and (vii) suspension cells of the luxS mutant with 100 micro M AI-2 vs. no AI-2 at 37°C for 3 h to determine the effect of temperature on AI-2 signaling in E. coli. Ten g of glass wool (Corning Glass Works, Corning, N.Y.) was used to form large amounts of biofilms (Ren et al., 2004a) in 250 mL LB in 1 L Erlenmeyer shake flasks. RNA was isolated from the suspension and biofilm cells as described previously (Ren et al., 2004b).
