Project description:Focusing on host response to infection, we utilized a murine model to develop a blood gene expression signature that accurately classified mice with candidemia and distinguished candidemia from S. aureus bacteremia. Validation of the signature was achieved in an independent cohort of mice. BALB/c male mice were injected with either normal saline, C.albicans, or S.aureus and sacrificed at pre-set time points of 24, 48, 72-96 hrs (Infection Duration). Blood was placed in RNA Later (R) for RNA expression analysis and the right kidney collected for analysis of pathogen burden.

Project description:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen chief amongst bloodstream infecting pathogens. MRSA produces an array of human specific virulence factors that may contribute to immune suppression. Here, we defined the response of primary human phagocytes to infection with MRSA using RNA-Seq. We found that the overall transcriptional response to MRSA was weak both in the number of genes and the magnitude of response. Using an ex vivo bacteremia model with fresh human blood, we found that infection with live MRSA resulted in the down-regulation of genes related to innate immune response, and cytokine and chemokine signaling. This muted transcriptional response was conserved across diverse S. aureus clones but absent in heat-killed MRSA or blood infected with live Staphylococcus epidermidis. Importantly, the muted signature was also present in patients with S. aureus bacteremia. We next identified the master regulator SaeRS and the SaeRS-regulated pore-forming toxins as key mediators of transcriptional suppression. The impaired chemokine and cytokine responses were reflected by circulating protein levels in the plasma. MRSA elicits a soluble milieu that is restrictive in the recruitment of human neutrophils compared to strains lacking saeRS. Thus, MRSA blunts the inflammatory response resulting in impaired neutrophil recruitment, which could promote the survival of S. aureus during invasive infection.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous malignancy, characterized by a variable clinical course. While clinical and laboratory parameters are increasingly being used to refine prognosis, they do not accurately predict response to commonly used therapy. We used gene expression profiling to generate and further refine prognostic and predictive markers. Genomic signatures that reflect progressive disease and responses to chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy were created using cancer cell lines and patient leukemia samples. We validated these signatures using independent clinical data from four separate cohorts representing a total of 301 CLL patients. A prognostic genomic signature created from patient leukemic cell gene expression data coupled with clinical parameters could statistically differentiate patients with stable or progressive disease in the training dataset. The progression signature was then validated in two independent datasets, demonstrating a capacity to accurately identify patients at risk for progressive disease. In addition, two distinct genomic signatures that predict response to chlorambucil or pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab were also generated and were shown to accurately distinguish responding and non-responding CLL patients. Microarray analysis of CLL patientsâ lymphocytes can be used to refine prognosis and predict response to different therapies. These results have direct implications for standard and investigational therapeutics in CLL patients. Experiment Overall Design: For the predictive genomic signature or response to pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab, 20 CLL leukemia samples were used in the training set, and 20 CLL leukemia samples were used in the validation set

Project description:The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is carried asymptomatically by about one-third of the human population. Body sites known to be colonized by S. aureus are the skin, nasopharynx and gut. In particular, the mechanisms that allow S. aureus to pass the gut epithelial barrier and to invade the bloodstream are poorly understood. Therefore, our present study was aimed at investigating possible differences between gut-colonizing and bacteremia isolates of S. aureus. To this end, 74 gut-colonizing isolates from healthy individuals and 144 blood-culture isolates were characterized by whole-genome sequencing. Subsequently, the cellular and extracellular proteomes of six representative isolates were examined by mass spectrometry. Lastly, the virulence potential of these isolates was evaluated using infection models based on human gut epithelial cells, blood cells, and a small animal infection model. Intriguingly, our results show that gut-colonizing and bacteremia isolates with the same sequence type (ST1 or ST5) are very similar at the genomic and proteomic levels. Nonetheless, they display differences in virulence, but gut-colonizing isolates may be more virulent than bacteremia isolates and vice versa. Importantly, we show that the main decisive factor preventing infection of gut epithelial cells in vitro is the presence of a tight barrier. Based on our present observations, we propose that the integrity of the gut epithelial layer, rather than the pathogenic potential of a gut-colonizing S. aureus strain, is the main decisive factor that determines whether this colonizer will become an invasive pathogen.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen and resistant to numerous clinically used antibiotics. The first antibiotic developed for S. aureus infections was the nonribosomal petide secondary metabolite penicillin. We discovered cryptic nonribosomal peptide secondary metabolites, the aureusimines, made by S. aureus itself that are not antibiotics, but function as small molecule regulators of virulence factor expression. Using established rules and codes for nonribosomal peptide assembly we predicted these nonribosomal peptides, and used these predictions to identify them from S. aureus culture broths. Functional studies using global microarray and mouse bacteremia models established that the aureusimines control virulence factor expression and are necessary for productive infections. This is the first report of the aureusimines and has important implications for the treatment of drug resistant S. aureus. Targeting aureusimine synthesis may provide novel anti-infectives. Commerically available S. aureus GeneChips (Affymetrix) were used to compare biological replicates of early and late exponential phase wild type (Newman) and aureusimine defective (ausA) organisms.
