Project description:Leptospirosis caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp. leads to kidney damage that may progress to chronic kidney disease. However, how leptospiral infections lead to renal damage is unclear. Here, we apply microarray platforms to determine the murine renal transcriptome-wide investigation of gene expression changes and biological pathways associated with leptospiral infection-related kidney damage. The aims of this study are to investigate a global analysis of renal gene expression associated with renal damage that was induced by leptospiral infection using experimental murine models. The result of microarray analysis showed that 467 and 927 genes to be differentially expressed in mice kidney with pathogenic leptospiral infection after day 7 and 28, respectively. Moreover, the result also showed that the 508 significantly differentially expressed genes in the kidneys of mice after infection with non-pathogenic leptospires at 7 days post-infection, and the 1,067 transcripts significantly differentially expressed in these kidneys at 28 days post-infection. Biological pathways performed using KEGG pathway enrichment analysis (P-value < 1E-5) showed that a total of 6 and 7 pathways were significantly enriched at 7 and 28 days post-infection with pathogenic leptospires, respectively. A total of 25 pathways were significantly enriched at day 28 following the non-pathogenic leptospiral infection. However, none of pathways were found in microarray data at day 7 post-infection with non-pathogenic leptospires. In addition, the antigen processing and presentation pathways was significantly enriched at 7 and 28 days post-infection with pathogenic leptospires, and at day 28 following the non-pathogenic leptospiral infection.

Project description:Leptospirosis is a re-emerging zoonosis, a globally important infectious disease, caused by an infection with the genus Leptospira. Leptospirosis is associated with acute kidney injury and progress to CKD due to sustained tubulointerstitial inflammation. Macrophages play a critical role in controlling the bacterial burden and tissue inflammation during the spirochete infections. To understand the molecular mechanisms of leptospia-induced macrophage activation and its role in the inflammatory process, we performed the transcriptome profiles of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages infected with pathogenic and non-pathogenuc Leptospira spp.at a multiplicity of infection of 100 for 2 and 24 hrs, respectively.

Project description:The overall goal of these experiments was to determine how human endothelial cells respond to pathogenic Leptospira interrogans. Leptospira interrogans causes leptospirosis, the most widespread zoonotic infection in the world. A hallmark of leptospirosis is widespread endothelial damage, which in severe cases leads to hemorrhage. In these experiments, we infected two endothelial cell lines with pathogenic Leptospira interrogans serovar Canicola strain Ca12-005, and as controls, with the non-pathogenic Leptospira biflexa serovar Patoc strain Pfra. As additional controls, uninfected cells were also included in the analyses.

Project description:Background The mysterious chronic kidney disease is multifactorial causes. One of the risk factors is leptospirosis, a re-emerging infectious disease caused by Leptospira spp., for endemic leptospirosis tend to coincide with high-incidence regions of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology. This study aims to investigate the role of leptospirosis as an emerging culprit in which chronic subclinical kidney injury, may predispose to progressive kidney disease when superimposed on secondary nephrotoxic injury. Methods Adenine-induced renal injury in chronic leptospira-infected C57/BL6 mice were studied for evaluating the renal function, histology and gene expression changes. We employed RNA sequencing-based renal transcriptome to investigate pathogenic pathways associated with secondary nephrotoxic injury in chronic kidney injury due to leptospirosis. Results The severity of kidney lesions was increased and the expression of immune/inflammation/fibrosis genes were significantly up-regulated in either low-dose (0.1%) and high-dose (0.2%) adenine-induced renal injury superimposed on infected mice. Whole renal transcriptome analysis reveals that the substantial amplification of the tremendous amount of expressed genes and fibrosis-related pathways was found in adenine-induced kidney injury add-on to leptospira-infected mice which correlated with kidney dysfunction and fibrosis compared to infection or adenine itself. A total of 41 differentially expressed genes associated with fibrosis were identified in infected mice fed with adenine, suggesting that these potential genes contributed to aggravated renal progression occurred in adenine-fed chronic leptospira-infected mice. Conclusions In summary, this study indicates that chronic subclinical kidney infection when exposed to different degree of secondary nephrotoxic injury may predispose to exacerbated and progressive chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world. The lack of an adequate laboratory test is a major barrier for the diagnosis, especially during the early stages of illness, when antibiotic therapy is most effective. Therefore, there is a critical need for an efficient diagnostic test for this life threatening disease. In order to identify new targets that could be used as diagnostic makers for leptopirosis, we constructed a protein microarray chip comprising 61% of Leptospira interrogans proteome and investigated the IgG response against leptospiral antigens from 274 individuals, including 80 acute-, 80 convalescent-phase patients and 114 healthy control subjects from regions with endemic, high endemic and no endemic transmission of leptospirosis. A nitrocellulose line blot assay was performed to validate the accuracy of the protein microarray results. We found 16 antigens that can discriminate between acute cases and healthy individuals from a region with high endemic transmission of leptospirosis, and 18 antigens that distinguish convalescent cases. Some of the antigens identified in this study, such as LipL32, the non-identical domains of the Lig proteins, GroEL and Loa22 are already known to be recognized by sera from human patients, thus serving as a proof-of-concept for the serodiagnostic antigen discovery approach. Several novel antigens were identified, including the hypothetical protein LIC10215 which showed good sensitivity and specificity rates for both acute- and convalescent-phase patients. Our study is the first large-scale evaluation of immunodominant antigens associated with naturally acquired leptospiral infection and novel as well as known serodiagnostic leptospiral antigens that are recognized by antibodies in the sera of leptospirosis cases were identified. The novel antigens identified here may have potential use in both the development of new tests and the improvement of currently available assays for diagnosing this neglected tropical disease. Further research is needed to assess the accuracy of these antigens in more appropriate diagnostic platforms. Antibody profiling was peformed on sera from infected and non-infected subjects to investigate the IgG response against leptospiral antigens. These samples comprised 80 acute-, 80 convalescent-phase patients and 114 healthy control subjects, including 29 subjects from United States (non-endemic area), 35 blood donors from Salvador/Brazil (endemic area) and 50 healthy individuals from region with high endemicity of leptospirosis.

Project description:Leptospirosis is a re-emerging tropical infectious disease caused by the pathogenic Leptospira spp. The different host innate immune responses were partially related to the different severity of leptospirosis. In this study, we employed transcriptomics and cytokine array to comparatively calculate the responses of murine peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and human peripheral blood monocytes (HBM) to leptospiral infection, and uncover a series of different expression regulations of these two immune cells. The regulation percentages in several biological processes of MPM, such as the antigen process and presentation, the regulation of membrane potential, and the innate immune response, etc., were much greater than those of HBM (>2 folds). In HBM and MPM, the CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulator genes were significantly up-regulated, which supported previous results that the caspase-8/3 pathway plays an important role in macrophage apoptosis during leptospiral infection. The key component of complement pathway, C3, was only up-regulated in MPM. Several cytokines (e.g. IL-10, TNF-alpha) were differently expressed at both mRNA and protein level in MPM and HBM. The differences in the transcriptomics and the cytokine expression revealed in this study were partially consistent with the different outcomes of the chronic and acute leptospirosis; thus, these findings facilitated further molecular study on the innate immune response to leptospiral infection. Murine peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and human peripheral blood monocytes (HBM) were infected by pathogenic Leptospira. The host cells were collected at 1h, 2h, and 4h after infection. The uninfected macrophage sample was designed as a negative control. Three biological replicates were designed for each sample type. There were totally 24 hybridizations (12 for MPM, and 12 for HBM) included in this submission.
