RNA-Seq analysis of Candida glabrata wild-type and Cgset4Δ mutant in the presence and absence of the cell wall targeting echinocandin antifungal drug, caspofungin.

ABSTRACT: To determine the effect of caspofungin (CSP) treatment and/or loss of the SET domain-containing CgSet4 protein on the transcriptional response of log-phase C. glabrata cells. RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on CAA medium-grown log-phase Candida glabrata wild-type (wt) and CgSET4-deleted (Cgset4D) cells in the presence and absence of caspofungin.

Proteome of candida glabrata after Caspofungin exposure

Project description:Caspofungin resistance is a great concern, as the echinocandin drugs are recommended as first-line therapy for invasive candidiasis. Echinocandin resistance is conferred by mutations in FKS genes. Nevertheless, some pathways which regulate cellular stress responses could be crucial for enabling the evolution and maintenance of drug resistance. In this work, the first objective was to identify resistant mechanisms by whole genome sequencing in echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata. Then, studies of the proteomic response to caspofungin exposure and the analysis of the impact of calcineurin inhibitors on susceptibility, stress tolerance, biofilm formation, and pathogenicity in Galleria mellonella were conducted. The caspofungin resistant isolate only presented mutation in the FKS gene. Based on proteomic results, we identified 21 proteins whose abundance changed in response to caspofungin exposure. Some of these proteins are involved in wall biosynthesis, pathogenesis, and response to stress. Also, we showed that antifungal drugs in combination with CaM/Cal inhibitors could be an excellent therapeutic option, proved in an in-vitro and in-vivo model. Results, that could be potentially used to improve the outcomes of fungal diseases, especially now that antifungal resistance is increasing.

Aspergillus fumigatus ZnfA, a novel zinc finger transcription factor involved in calcium metabolism and caspofungin tolerance

Project description:Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is a life-threatening fungal infection especially in immunocompromised population. The low availability of antifungal drugs coupled with the emergence of antifungal resistance has become an important clinical concern. Caspofungin (CSP) is recommended as second-line therapy but resistance and tolerance mechanisms have been reported. However, how the fungal cell articulates the response to CSP is not completely understood. In this work we have characterized ZnfA, a new transcription factor (TF) identified in previous screening studies that is involved in calcium and CSP A. fumigatus response. This TF plays an important role in iron homeostasis and cell wall organization in response to high CSP concentrations as revealed by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation coupled to DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis. Furthermore, ZnfA acts collaboratively with the key TF CrzA in the response to calcium, cell wall and osmotic stresses. Thus, this study increases our knowledge about the link between calcium signaling and the CSP cellular response and exposes the complex connections among different pathways that govern stress sensing in A. fumigatus.

Sir2-family of histone deacetylase regulated gene expression in Candida glabrata

Project description:Sir2-family of NAD-dependent histone deacetylases are involved in gene transcription repression in yeast. The C. glabrata genes encoding members of this family are SIR2 (CAGL0K01463g), HST1 (CAGL0C05357g), HST2 (CAGL0L08668g), HST3 (CAGL0H08239g) and HST4 (CAGL0F05621g). SIR4 (CAGL0K11396g) encodes a factor that forms a functional complex with Sir2. In this experiment, the transcription profile of C. glabrata HST1 null, HST2 null, SIR2 null or SIR4 null strain individually comparing with that of wild type strain was determined. All strains were grown in YPD liquid medium in Log phase at 30 C. Keywords: transcriptional profiling by microarray

Candida glabrata transcription profile when grown under Niacin starvation or in human urine

Project description:The transcription profile of Candida glabrata grown under two different Niacin limitation conditions were determined. Condition 1 is comparing log phase C. glabrata cells (O.D. 0.5-0.6) grown in synthetic medium containing 0.016 uM versus 3.25 uM nicotinic acid (NA), a common form of Niacin. The NA concentration of 3.25 uM is the standard concentration in synthetic complete (SC) medium. Condition 2 is comparing log phase C. glabrata cells (O.D. 0.4-0.6) grown in 3 individual human urine samples (supplemented with 2% glucose) versus in SC medium. Keywords: transcriptional profiling by microarray GSM151863, GSM151869 are dye-swap experiment #1 and GSM151880, GSM151881 are dye-swap experiment #2 for Niacin limitation condition 1. GSM151934, GSM152116 are dye-swap experiment #1, GSM152118, GSM152119 are dye-swap experiment #2 and GSM152130, GSM152131 are dye-swap experiment #3 for Niacin limitation condition 2.

Transcriptome profile of tra1 mutant in C. albicans in response to the antifungal caspofungin

Project description:The emergence of drug-resistant fungal strains is a threat to human health. Identifying targets that increase the susceptibility of fungal pathogens to current therapies will significantly improve outcomes. Tra1 is an essential component of the SAGA and NuA4 transcriptional co-activator complexes and is linked to multiple cellular processes associated with the yeast response to antifungal drugs. This submission contains RNA sequencing data from Candida albicans strain expressing a Tra1 mutant with three arginine to glutamine mutations in the PI3K domain (tra1Q3; Berg et al., 2018) treated with or without the antifungal caspofungin. Our goal was to identify genes regulated by Tra1 in C. albicans and identify genes with differential responses in the mutant tra1 strain upon capsofungin relative to the wild-type strain. We identified 68 genes that were differentially expressed when the tra1Q3 strain was treated with caspofungin, as compared to gene expression changes induced by either tra1Q3 or caspofungin alone. Included in this set were genes involved in cell wall maintenance, adhesion and filamentous growth. As a critical component of both SAGA and NuA4, Tra1 is uniquely positioned to regulate the yeast antifungal response and emerges, through targeting its PI3K domain, as a promising new therapeutic target for fungal infections.

RNA-Seq analysis of Candida glabrata wild-type and Cghhf1Δhhf2Δ mutant in the presence and absence of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS).

Project description:To determine the effect of lack of two Histone H4 genes, CgHHF1 and CgHHF2, on global transcriptional profile, and on transcriptional response towards MMS exposure, RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on log-phase grown Candida glabrata wild-type and Cghhf1∆2∆ cells in the presence and absence of MMS. Comparative transcriptome analysis of wild-type and Cghhf1∆2∆ cells displayed deregulation of 303 genes due to the loss of CgHHF1 and CgHHF2 genes. C. glabrata responded to MMS by upregulating genes involved in transmembrane transport and invasive growth in response to glucose limitation, and by downregulating the aerobic respiration and ergosterol biosynthetic process genes.
