Transcriptome analysis of the iron regulatory transcription factors in Cryptococcus neoformans in response to iron availability

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Understanding the iron-responsive regulatory networks in Cryptococcus neoformans. Methods: The transcriptome profiles of the wild-type, cir1 mutant and hapX mutant were generated by RNA-seq using Illumina Hiseq, in triplicate. The transcriptome profiles of each mutant was compared with that of the wild-type strain. Results: The iron-responsive transcription factors, Cir1 and HapX, are major regulators for iron acquisition and metabolism in C. neoformans.

HapX positively and negatively regulates the transcriptional response to iron deprivation in Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Analysis of the transcriptional response of C. neoformans WT, cir1 mutant, hap3 mutant and hapX mutant to different iron sources. The following experimental design was adopted for the study. Within each strain, each treatment pair (low-iron, +FeCl3, +Transferrin and +Hemin; 6 pairs) were hybridized to an array; and within each treatment, each strain (WT, hap3, hapX and cir1, 6 pairs) were hybridized to an array for a total of 48 microarrays. Each strain/treatment combination was labeled an equal number of times with Cy3 and Cy5 to ensure dye balance

Differentially expressed genes of cir1 mutants in low iron or high iron medium

Project description:Iron overload is known to exacerbate many infectious diseases and, conversely, iron withholding is an important defense strategy for mammalian hosts. The mechanisms by which fungal pathogens sense iron in the mammalian host environment are poorly understood. The AIDS-associated pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans provides a unique opportunity to explore iron sensing in the context of infection because iron levels control elaboration of the polysaccharide capsule that is the major virulence factor of the fungus. Additionally, excess iron exacerbates experimental cryptococcosis. We identified the iron-responsive transcription factor Cir1 that regulates iron acquisition in C. neoformans and discovered that Cir1 also controls the expression of all of the known major virulence factors of the fungus. In particular, cir1 mutants are defective in capsule formation and avirulent in a mouse model of cryptococcosis. Thus the ability to sense iron is critical during infection by C. neoformans and may represent a target for antifungal therapy. Keywords: wt/mutant x low/high iron

The zinc finger protein Mig1 regulates mitochondrial function and azole drug susceptibility in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:The opportunistic pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes fungal meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. In previous studies, we found that the Hap complex in this pathogen represses genes encoding mitochondrial respiratory functions and TCA cycle components under low-iron conditions. The orthologous Hap2/3/4/5 complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae exerts a regulatory influence on mitochondrial functions and Hap4 is subject to glucose repression via the carbon catabolite repressor Mig1. In this study, we explored the regulatory link between a candidate ortholog of the Mig1 protein and the HapX component of the Hap complex in C. neoformans. This analysis revealed repression of MIG1 by HapX and activation of HAPX by Mig1 in low iron conditions, and Mig1 regulation of mitochondrial functions including respiration, tolerance for reactive oxygen species, and expression of genes for iron-consuming and iron-acquisition functions. Consistent with these regulatory functions, a mig1Î mutant had impaired growth on inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration and ROS inducers. Furthermore, deletion of MIG1 provoked a dysregulation in nutrient sensing via the TOR pathway and impacted the pathway for cell wall remodeling. Importantly, loss of Mig1 increased susceptibility to fluconazole thus further establishing a link between azole antifungal drugs and mitochondrial function. Mig1 and HapX were also required together for survival in macrophages, but Mig1 alone had a minimal impact on virulence in mice. Overall, these studies provide novel insights into a HapX/Mig1 regulatory network and reinforce an association between mitochondrial dysfunction and drug susceptibility that may provide new targets for the development of antifungal drugs. In this study, transcription profiles of WT and mig1D mutant strains of Cryptococcus neoformans were compared in a dye-swap experiment following 6hr exposure to Low Iron Medium (LIM) or LIM + 100mM FeCl3.

A defect in iron uptake enhances the susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans to azole antifungal drugs.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling of wild type and cfo1 mutant with fluconazole treatment in Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99 Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare cfo1 mutant transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to wild-type with or without fluconazole treatment in Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99. Methods: mRNA profiles of wild-type and cfo1 mutant with or without fluconazole treatment were generated by RNA-Seq, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to reference genome and the normalized RPKM values were calculated by CLC Genomics Workbench. Results: Compared to wild-type, a number of genes were differentially expressed in the cfo1 mutant, especially genes involved in iron homeostasis and transport, ergosterol biosynthesis, mitochondrial function and respiration. Conclusions: Our data suggested reduced expression of the genes in the respiratory chain is the main reason for altered antifungal sensitivity of the cfo1 mutant. The results of our study revealed that iron uptake plays a key role in fluconazole sensitivity of C. neoformans.
