Multiple stages of evolutionary change in anthrax toxin receptor expression in humans

ABSTRACT: The advent of animal husbandry and hunting increased human exposure to zoonotic pathogens. To understand how a zoonotic disease influenced human evolution, we studied changes in human expression of anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2), which encodes a cell surface protein necessary for Bacillus anthracis virulence toxins to cause anthrax disease. In immune cells, ANTXR2 was 8-fold down-regulated in all available human samples compared to non-human primates, indicating regulatory changes early in the evolution of modern humans. We also observed multiple genetic signatures consistent with recent positive selection driving a European-specific decrease in ANTXR2 expression in several non-immune tissues affected by anthrax toxins. Our observations fit a model in which humans adapted to anthrax disease following early ecological changes associated with hunting and scavenging, as well as a second period of adaptation after the rise of modern agriculture.

Discovery of Mouse Spleen Signaling Responses to Anthrax using Label-Free Quantitative Phosphoproteomics via Mass Spectrometry

Project description:From article abstract: Inhalational anthrax is caused by spores of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis), and is an extremely dangerous disease that can kill unvaccinated victims within 2 weeks. Modern antibiotic-based therapy can increase the survival rate to ~50%, but only if administered presymptomatically (within 24-48 h of exposure). To discover host signaling responses to presymptomatic anthrax, label-free quantitative phosphoproteomics via liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was used to compare spleens from uninfected and spore-challenged mice over a 72 h time-course. Late-stage (48-72 h post-challenge) Sterne strain (lethal) infections resulted in global alterations to the spleen phosphoproteome. In contrast, delta-Sterne strain (asymptomatic; missing the anthrax toxin) infections resulted in 188 (5.8%) significantly altered (q<0.05) phosphopeptides. Twenty-six highly tentative phosphorylation responses to early-stage (24 h post-challenge) anthrax were discovered (q<0.5), and ten of these originated from eight proteins that have known roles in the host immune response. These tentative early-anthrax host response signaling events within mouse spleens may translate into presymptomatic diagnostic biomarkers of human anthrax detectable within circulating immune cells, and could aid in the identification of pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

Anthrax toxins regulate pain signaling and can deliver molecular cargoes to Antxr2+ DRG sensory neurons

Project description:We found that intrathecal injection of anthrax edema toxin (ET), causes analgesia in adult B6J mice. In order to determine if DRG neuron transcriptional responses play a role in pain blockade, we performed a bulk RNA-seq experiment on dissected mouse DRG neurons. We report that anthrax edema toxin causes transcriptional responses in DRG neurons 2h after in vivo administration

Expression data from anthrax lethal toxin treated primary cardiomyocytes from 1-3-day-old neonatal Balb/c mice

Project description:The activity of known anthrax lethal toxin is insufficient to account the effects on functions of cardiomyocytes. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that Anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) induce heart damage We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.

Anthrax Lethal Toxin-Inducd Gene Expression Changes in Mouse Lung

Project description:Enhanced susceptibility of A/J mice to death by systemic anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) administration compared to the C57BL/6 strain was observed. In this study we investigated whether systemic exposure of mice to LeTx would induce gene expression changes associated with vascular/capillary leakage in lung tissue. Lungs of the less susceptible C57BL/6 strain showed 80% fewer differentially expressed genes compared to lungs of the more sensitive A/J strain.

HMVEC cells treated with vascular endothelial growth factor, anthrax edema toxin, and an Epac activator

Project description:Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Antrhax Edema Toxin (ET), or the Epac activator, 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP (8CPT) Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) were treated with VEGF alone or VEGF in combination with either the the Epac-specific cAMP-mimetic, 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP (8CPT), or anthrax edema toxin (ET), an adenylyl cyclase. ET or 8CPT can inhibit VEGF-mediated chemotaxis and angiogenesis. The goal of the study was to identify genes regulated by cAMP production (ET) or by activation of Epac/Rap (8CPT) that may mitigate the effects of VEGF treatment.

Array profiling of dystrophin-deficient mice with a secondary glycosylation defect

Project description:A deletion in the CMAH gene in humans occurred approximately 3.5 million years ago. This resulted in the inactivation of the CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase enzyme, and hence, in the specific deficiency in N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a form of sialic acid, in all modern humans. Although there is evidence that this molecular milestone in the origin of humans may have led to the evolution of human-specific pathogens, how deficiency in Neu5Gc might alter progression of non-infectious human diseases remains unanswered. Here, we have investigated cardiac and skeletal muscle gene expression changes in mdx mice, a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), that do or do not carry the human-like inactivating mutation in the mouse Cmah gene. We have evidence that Neu5Gc-deficiency in humans might explain some of the discrepancies in the disease phenotype between mdx mice and DMD patients.
