Expression data profile of A498 cells infected with E. coli 536 or PAI I delation mutant

ABSTRACT: MYC has been named the quintessential oncogene and is deregulated in the majority of human cancers. Still, finding c-MYC inhibitors for therapeutic use has been problematic and MYC itself has long been viewed as “undruggable”. Here we present a novel strategy for achieving c-MYC inhibition, involving specific bacterial effector molecules. We made the surprising observation that uropathogenic E. coli activate c-MYC degradation and attenuate MYC expression in host cells and tissues. We further identified effector molecules responsible for this effect. The bacterial Lon protease is shown to rapidly degrade c-MYC and therapeutic efficacy is demonstrated in bladder and colon cancer models. Long-term protection, defined by delayed tumor progression, increased survival and low toxicity further supports the therapeutic potential of Lon. These results suggest that bacteria have evolved strategies to control c-MYC tissue levels in the host, which can be exploited to target c-MYC therapeutically in different cancers.

RNA-seq and ChIP-seq for Lon

Project description:Lon protease plays vital roles in many biological processes in Pseudomonas syringae, including type III secretion systems (T3SS), transcription regulation, protein synthesis and energy metabolism. Lon also functions as a transcriptional regulator in other bacterial species (e.g., Escherichia coli and Brevibacillus thermoruber). Therefore, we hypothesise that Lon has dual functions in P. syringae. To reveal the molecular mechanisms of Lon as a transcriptional regulator and protease under different environmental conditions, we used a combination of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify the genes or proteins regulated by Lon. As a transcriptional regulator, Lon bound to the promoter regions of PSPPH_4788, gacA, fur, gntR, clpS, lon and glyA and consequently regulated 1-dodecanol oxidation activity, motility, pyoverdine production, gluconokinase activity, N-end rule pathway, lon expression and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) activity in King’s B medium (KB). In minimal medium (MM), Lon regulated SHMT activity and lon expression by binding to the promoter regions of glyA and lon, respectively. As a protease, Lon regulated the T3SS and metabolic pathways (e.g., amino acid metabolism). In MM, Lon regulated the polysaccharide metabolic process by controlling PSPPH_0514, AlgA, CysD and PSPPH_4991. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Lon acts as a transcriptional regulator or protease in different environments and tunes its virulence and metabolic functions accordingly.

Vibrio cholerae lon protease mutant microarray analysis

Project description:Lon protease is known to regulate various transcriptional regulators in other bacterial organisms. To understand whether lon protease is involved in transcriptional changes in Vibrio cholerae, wholel-genome level transcriptional profiling was performed using custom microarrays. Transcriptomes of lonA mutant and wild-type strains were compared in this study.

Quantitative proteomics of expanded resting and activated human MAIT (mucosal associated invariant T cells)

Project description:Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an abundant population of innate T cells that recognize bacterial ligands and play a key role in host protection against bacterial and viral pathogens. Upon activation, MAIT cells undergo proliferative expansion and increase their production of effector molecules such as cytokines. In this study, we found that mRNA and protein the abundance of the key metabolism regulator and transcription factor MYC was increased in stimulated MAIT cells. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we identified the activation of two MYC controlled metabolic pathways, amino acid transport and glycolysis, both of which were necessary for MAIT cell proliferation. Finally, we showed that MAIT cells isolated from people with obesity showed decreased MYC mRNA abundance upon activation, which was associated with defective MAIT cell proliferation and functional responses. Collectively, our data uncovers the importance of MYC-regulated metabolism for MAIT cell proliferation and provides additional insight into the molecular basis for the functional defects of MAIT cells in obesity.

lonB mutant

Project description:The bacterial Lon protease participates in a variety of biological processes. In Pseudomonas syringae, mutation of lon is known to activate hrpL and a few hrpL-regulated genes in the rich medium. The elevated expression of hrpL and hrpL-regulated genes results from of increased stability of HrpR, the transcriptional activator of hrpL, in the lon mutant. Here we conducted a microarray analysis to determine genes that are differently expressed in the lon- mutant of P. s. pv. tomato DC3000 grown in the rich medium KB. Most genes induced in the lon- mutant belong to the HrpL-regulon or are related to the transcription, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism. The major group of genes reduced in the lon- mutant is related to cell wall biogenesis. The HrpL-regulated genes exhibit different induction patterns in the lon- mutant, suggesting the involvement of regulators additional to HrpL in regulating these genes. Compared with the wild type bacteria, the lon- mutants exhibit elevated hrpL expression in KB medium but reduced hrpL expression in the minimal medium (MM). The reduced hrpL RNA is correlated with the reduced hrpR and hrpS RNAs, suggesting that the Lon-mediated regulation of hrpL involves different mechanisms in KB and MM. Consistent with the reduced expression of the hrpL in MM, the lon- mutants are less pathogenic on host plants. Keywords: Expression profiles of lonB mutant in KB

Expression data profile of A498 cells infected with E. coli 83972, mutants or stimualted with rNlpD

Project description:Unlike pathogens, which attack the host, commensal bacteria create a state of friendly coexistence. Here, we identify a new mechanism of bacterial adaptation to the host niche, where they reside. Asymptomatic carrier strains are shown to inhibit RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) in host cells by targeting Ser2 phosphorylation; a step required for productive mRNA elongation. Assisted by a rare, spontaneous loss-of-function mutant from a human carrier, the bacterial NlpD protein is identified as a Pol II inhibitor. After internalization by host cells, NlpD is shown to target constituents of the Pol II phosphorylation complex (RPB1 and PAF1C), attenuating host gene expression. Therapeutic efficacy of the rNlpD protein is demonstrated in a urinary tract infection model, by reduced tissue pathology, accelerated bacterial clearance and attenuated Pol II-dependent gene expression. The findings suggest an intriguing, evolutionarily conserved mechanism for bacterial modulation of host gene expression, with a significant therapeutic potential.
