Time-resolved transcriptional profiling of epithelial cells infected by intracellular Acinetobacter baumannii

ABSTRACT: The increasing rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a serious health threat. Thus, it is important to discover, characterize, and optimize new molecules to overcome infections caused by these bacteria. It is known that Acinetobacter baumannii has a high capacity to avoid antibacterial drugs. Consequently, these bacteria have emerged as one of responsible for hospital and community-acquired infections. However, how this pathogen infects and survives inside the host cell is unknown. Here we analyze the time-resolved transcriptional profile changes on human epithelial HeLa cells after A. baumannii. Our results show how A.baumannii can survive in host cells and starts replication at 4 hours post infection. We sequenced RNA to obtain a set of differentially expressed gen (DEGs) used for a Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. The results show us how host bacteria is altering the host cells environment for their own benefit. We also determine chromosomal regions affected by our set of genes. Furthermore, we obtain protein-protein networks that reveal highly interacted proteins. The combination of these results will pave the way to discover new antimicrobial candidates for multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Comparison of the gene expression profiles of different strains of A. baumannii by microarrays

Project description:In the present work we compare the gene expression profile of A. baumannii and a mutant knock-out strain of A. baumannii lacking a small RNA gene 13573 and the corresponding small RNA 13573 over-producing strain. The main objective is to recognize the main pathways in which the small RNA 13573 is involved. Moreover, the same wild type strain was used to infect mice and was further analyzed after the infection with the aim of finding genes differentially expressed in vivo. Three biological replicates have been performed for each comparison. The RNA collection from Acinetobacter baumannii strain over-expresing the small RNA (sample 13573) was compared with this isolated from A. baumannii harboring the empty vector (PETRA sample) while gene expression in the knock-out strain (KO sample) was compared with the wild type strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 (ATCC sample). The RNA from A.baumannii recovered from the infected animals (INF sample) was compared with the wild type (ATCC).

Combined analysis of genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome reveals the first epigenetic-based antibiotic-resistance mechanism in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:Using Nanopore sequencing, our study has revealed a close correlation between genomic methylation levels and antibiotic resistance rates in Acinetobacter Baumannii. Specifically, the combined genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis revealed the first epigenetic-based antibiotic-resistance mechanism in A. baumannii. Our findings suggest that the precise location of methylation sites along the chromosome could provide new diagnostic markers and drug targets to improve the management of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections.

Generation of synthetic Acinetobacter baumannii specific nanobodies

Project description:The bacterial pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii, is a leading cause of drug-resistant infections. Here, we investigated the potential of developing nanobodies that specifically recognize A. baumannii over other Gram-negative bacteria. Through generation and panning of a synthetic nanobody library, we identified several potential lead candidates. We demonstrate how incorporation of next generation sequencing analysis can aid in selection of lead candidates for further characterization. Using monoclonal phage display, we validated the binding of several lead nanobodies to A. baumannii. Subsequent purification and biochemical characterization revealed one particularly robust nanobody that broadly and specifically bound A. baumannii compared to other common drug resistant pathogens. These findings support the potentially for nanobodies to selectively target A. baumannii and the identification of lead candidates for possible future diagnostic and therapeutic development.

Host cell response after infection with a virulent and a non virulent Acinetobacter baumannii IC2 OXA-23 strain

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial pathogen that causes severe infections such as pneumonia or blood stream infections. As the incidence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections in intensive care units increases, the pathogen is considered of greater clinical concern. Little is known about the molecular interaction of A. baumannii with its host yet. In order to study the host cell response upon A. baumannii infection, a complexome analysis was performed. For this, we identified a virulent ( A. baumannii 2778) and a non virulent (A. baumannii 1372) clinical isolate of genetic similarity > 95 % (both isolates from IC 2 harboring OXA 23). HUVECs were infected with each strain and enriched mitochondrial fraction was used for complexome profiling. Complexome analysis identified dramatic reduction of mitochondrial protein complexes in the strain of greater virulence.

Correlative proteomics identify the key roles of stress tolerance strategies in Acinetobacter baumannii in response to polymyxin and macrophages

Project description:Opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses stress tolerance strategies against host innate immunity and antibiotic killing. However, how the host-pathogen-antibiotic interaction affects the overall molecular regulation of pro- and anti-pathogenic machineries remains unexplored. Here, we simultaneously investigate proteomic changes in A. baumannii and macrophages following infection in the absence or presence of the last-line polymyxins. We discover that macrophages and polymyxins exhibit complementary effects to disarm several A. baumannii stress tolerance and survival strategies, including oxidative stress resistance, copper tolerance, bacterial iron acquisition and stringent response regulation systems. Using bacterial mutants with impaired stringent response associated (p)ppGpp synthetase/hydrolase spoT we demonstrate that spot mutants exhibit significantly enhanced susceptibility to polymyxin killing and reduced in vivo survivability compared to the wild-type strain. Together, our findings highlight that improved understanding of host-pathogen-antibiotic interplay is critical for optimisation of antibiotic use in patients and discovery of new antibiotics to tackle multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

ppGpp signal plays critical role in pathogenesis of Acinetobacter baumannii 17978

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections which can survive in different hospital environments and its multidrug-resistant capacity is major concern now-a-days. ppGpp dependent stringent response mediates reprogramming of gene expression with diverse function in many bacteria. A baumannii A1S_0579 gene is responsible for ppGpp production. Transcriptome analysis of early stationary phase cultures represents several differentially expressed genes in ppGpp deficient strain (∆A1S_0579). We found that the expression of csu operon, which is important in pili biosynthesis for early biofilm formation, was significantly reduced in the ppGpp-deficient strain. Our findings showed that ppGpp signaling plays critical role in biofilm formation, surface motility, adherence and virulence of A baumannii. This study is the first demonstration of the association between ppGpp and pathogenicity of A. baumannii.

Epigenetic profiles of mouse splenic macrophages responding to a Protein-Free Vaccine that Induces Trained Immunity and Protects against Nosocomial Pathogens

Project description:Traditional vaccines are difficult to deploy against the diverse antibiotic-resistant, nosocomial pathogens that cause Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). We developed a unique, protein-free vaccine to present antibiotic-resistant HAIs. This vaccine protected mice from invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Rhizopus delemar, and Candida albicans. Protection persisted even in neutropenic mice infected with A. baumannii or R. delemar. Protection was already apparent after 24 hours and lasted for up to 21 days after a single dose, with a second dose restoring efficacy. Protection persisted without lymphocytes but was abrogated with macrophages depletion. This vaccine induced trained immunity by altering the macrophage epigenetic landscape and the inflammatory response to infection.
