RNA sequencing of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi collected from carrier and acute cases

ABSTRACT: Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (SEE) is a host-restricted bacterium that causes the common infectious upper respiratory disease known as strangles in horses. Perpetuation of SEE infection appears attributable to inapparent carrier horses because it does not persist long-term in the environment, infect other host mammals or vectors, and result in short-lived immunity. Whether pathogen factors enable SEE to remain in horses without causing clinical signs remains poorly understood. Thus, our objective was to use next-generation sequencing technologies to characterize the transcriptome of isolates of SEE from horses with acute clinical strangles and inapparent carrier horses to assess pathogen-associated changes that might reflect adaptions of SEE to the host contributing to inapparent carriage. RNA sequencing of SEE isolates from Pennsylvania demonstrated no genes that were differentially expressed between acute clinical and inapparent carrier isolates of SEE.

Comprehensive proteomics for Discovery vaccine candidates against Streptococcus equi Infections

Project description:Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is a major pathogen which cause strangles, a highly contagious respiratory infection, in horses and other equines. In this study, we purified the extracellular vesicles (EVs) of S. equi ATCC 39506 and evaluated them as vaccine candidates against S. equi infections in mice. Through immunization in an animal model and immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, we evaluated EV as vaccine candidates against S. equi infections and identified novel immunogenic proteins.

Comprehensive proteomics for Discovery vaccine candidates against Streptococcus equi Infections

Project description:Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is a major pathogen which cause strangles, a highly contagious respiratory infection, in horses and other equines.In this study, we discovered potential vaccine candidates using comprehensive proteomics and reverse vaccinology. As the initial step, we divided proteome of S. equi ATCC 39506 into whole cell lysate, secretory proteome, membrane proteome and extracellular vesicle and then, comparative proteomic analysis was performed to characterize the functional features of the proteome. Especially, extracellular vesicle of S. equi was evaluated at the first time. Total 114 potential vaccine candidates (PVCs) were selected using reverse vaccinology and knowledge based annotations. Comprehensive proteomic analysis confirmed that 60 PVCs were identified in S. equi ATCC 39506. Particularly, 32 PVCs were enriched in the EV proteome, suggesting that this cellular fraction may serve as vaccine.

RNA-Seq identifies differential gene expression associated with risk-genotype for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in horses

Project description:Rhodococcus equi is an intracellular bacterium that affects young foals and immuno-compromised individuals causing severe pneumonia. Currently, the genetic mechanisms which confer susceptibility and or resistance to R. equi are not fully understood. Previously, using a SNP-based genome-wide association study, we identified a region on equine chromosome 26 associated with clinical pneumonia. To better characterize this region and understand the relationship of the SNPs associated with disease, we performed RNA-Seq on 12 horses representing the 3 allelic states of the SNP identified. Differential expression analyses identified differentially expressed genes in the innate immune response pathway when comparing homozygous A allele horses with the AB and BB horses. Isoform analyses of the RNA-Seq data predicted multiple transcripts with evidence of differential expression to exist at the TRPM2 locus. This finding is consistent with previously demonstrated work in human cell lines in which isoform specific expression of TRPM2 was critical to cell viability. This work demonstrates that SNPs in TRPM2 are associated with differences in gene expression, suggesting that modulation of expression of this innate immune gene contributes to susceptibility to R. equi pneumonia.

Development of Helicobacter pylori microarrays to test pathogenicity of clinical isolates

Project description:To distinguish between Helicobacter pylori isolates that may cause greater disease in patients, we used whole genome expression profiling as a platform to study host-pathogen interactions and identify gene signatures associated with isolates from patients with higher cancer risk. Expression profiles were studied for 3 clinical isolates from a region of high gastric cancer incidence (PZ5056, PZ5080, PZ5086) in Colombia and 3 isolates from a region with low gastric cancer incidence in Colombia (PZ5004, PZ5024, PZ5026). Each experiment was done in triplicate by infecting monolayers of gastric epithelial cells for 1 hour with the isolates.

Cellular and viral transcription profiles in Equine Papillomavirus Type 2 positive squamous cell carcinomas

Project description:Equine Papillomavirus Type 2 (EcPV2) appears to be a causal factor for the development of genital especially penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and as such have an important clinical impact on horses. However, the pathomechanisms associated with this cancer transformation are not known, yet. To analyze the host’s and viral transcriptome in EcPV2 affected horses, tissue samples were collected from horses with EcPV2-positive genital lesions as well as from healthy EcPV2-negative horses. Expression levels of host and viral genes were evaluated by RNA-Seq.

RNA-seq of Streptococcus equi strains with and without csrRS SNPs

Project description:CsrRS is a two component regulator which is known to regulate 10-18 % of the genome of the closely related Streptococcus pyogenes. We aimed to look for transcriptional differences between pairs of naturally occurring Streptococcus equi strains where one possessed a SNP in csrRS whereas the other did not. Such SNPs have not been identified in isolates from acute disease but have been identified in persistent isolates.
