Gestational diabetes augments group B Streptococcus perinatal infection through disruptions in maternal immunity and the vaginal microbiota

ABSTRACT: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a pervasive perinatal pathogen, yet factors driving GBS dissemination in utero are poorly defined. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a complication marked by dysregulated immunity and maternal microbial dysbiosis, increases risk for GBS perinatal disease. We interrogated host-pathogen dynamics in a novel murine GDM model of GBS colonization and perinatal transmission. GDM mice had greater GBS in utero dissemination and subsequently worse neonatal outcomes. Dual-RNA sequencing revealed differential GBS adaptation to the GDM reproductive tract, including a putative glycosyltransferase (yfhO), and altered host responses. GDM disruption of immunity included reduced uterine natural killer cell activation, impaired recruitment to placentae, and altered vaginal cytokines. Lastly, we observed distinct vaginal microbial taxa associated with GDM status and GBS invasive disease status. Our translational model of GBS perinatal transmission in GDM hosts recapitulates several clinical aspects and enables discovery of host and bacterial drivers of GBS perinatal disease.

Transcriptional Responses to Elevated Temperature in Streptococcus agalactiae

Project description:In the transition from recto-vaginal colonizing organism to invasive pathogen, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) must adapt to changes in host temperature, including elevated temperatures due to host fever. To identify genes important to the survival of GBS in response to heat stress, transcriptional profiling was performed using DNA microarray analysis, comparing GBS grown at normal temperature (37˚C) to GBS exposed to elevated temperature (42˚C).

Transcriptomic analysis of Streptococcus pyogenescolonizing the vaginal mucosa identifies hupY, an MtsR-regulated adhesin involved in heme utilization

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep, GAS) is a serious human pathogen with the ability to colonize mucosal surfaces such as the nasopharynx and vaginal tract, often leading to infections such as pharyngitis and vulvovaginitis. We present genome-wide RNASeq data showing the transcriptomic changes GAS undergoes during vaginal colonization. These data reveal that the regulon controlled by MtsR, a master metal regulator, is activated during vaginal colonization. This regulon includes two genes highly expressed during vaginal colonization, hupYZ. Here we show that HupY binds heme in vitro, affects intracellular concentrations of iron, and is essential for proper growth of GAS using hemoglobin or serum as the sole iron source. HupY is also important for murine vaginal colonization of both GAS and the related vaginal colonizer and pathogen, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Strep, GBS). These data provide essential information on the link between metal regulation and mucosal colonization in both GAS and GBS.

A vaginal tract signal detected by the GBS SaeRS system elicits transcriptomic changes and enhances murine colonization.

Project description:Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) can colonize the human vaginal tract leading to both superficial and serious infections in adults and neonates. To study bacterial colonization of the reproductive tract in a mammalian system, we employed a murine vaginal carriage model. Using RNASeq, the transcriptome of GBS growing in vivo during vaginal carriage was determined. Over one-quarter of the genes in GBS were found to be differentially regulated during in vivo colonization as compared to laboratory cultures. A two-component system (TCS) homologous to the staphylococcal virulence regulator SaeRS was identified as being up-regulated in vivo. One of the SaeRS targets, pbsP, a proposed GBS vaccine candidate, was shown to be important for colonization of the vaginal tract. A component of vaginal lavage fluid acted as a signal to turn on pbsP expression via SaeRS. These data demonstrate the ability to quantify RNA expression directly from the murine vaginal tract and identify novel genes involved in vaginal colonization by GBS. They also provide more information about the regulation of an important virulence and colonization factor of GBS, pbsP, by the TCS SaeRS.

Analysis of Two Component Systems in Group B Streptococcus

Project description:Group B Streptococcus (GBS), in its transition from commensal to pathogen, will encounter diverse host environments and thus require coordinately controlling its transcriptional responses to these changes. This work was aimed at better understanding the role of two component signal transduction systems (TCS) in GBS pathophysiology through a systematic screening procedure. We first performed a complete inventory and sensory mechanism classification of all putative GBS TCS by genomic analysis. Five TCS were further investigated by the generation of knock-out strains from WT strain CJB111, and in vitro transcriptome analysis identified genes regulated by these systems.

Gestational diabetes and human amniocytes

Project description:Context: Context: Gestational diabetes (GDM) has profound effects on the intrauterine metabolic milieu and is linked to obesity and diabetes in offspring, but the mechanisms driving these effects remain largely unknown. Alterations gene expression in amniocytes exposed to GDM in utero may identify potential mechanisms leading to metabolic dysfunction later in life. Objective: Objective: To profile changes in the transcriptome in human amniocytes exposed to GDM Methods: A nested case-control study was performed in second trimeseter amniocytes matched for offspring sex, maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age, gestational age at amniocentesis, gestational age at birth and gestational diabetes status. Sex-specific RNA-sequencing was completed and gene expression changes were identified. Results: Expression of interferon-stimulated genes was increased in GDM amniocytes accounting for 6 of the top 10 altered genes (q<0.05). Enriched biological pathways in GDM anmiocytes included pathways involving inflammation, the interferon response, fatty liver disease, monogenic diabetes and atherosclerosis. Conclusion: In a unique repository of human amniocytes exposed to GDM in utero, trancriptome analysis identified enrichment of inflammation and interferon-related pathways.

RNA sequence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and healthy control placentas

Project description:GDM is a multi-system disorder that is primarily characterised by new-onset hypertension accompanied by proteinuria during gestation. This disease is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. In this work, placental samples were collected from GDM and control patients. RNA-seq was performed to identify differences in gene expression. Significantly differentially expressed genes between the GDM and control samples included 64 up-regulated and 296 down-regulated genes. This study may provide further insight in the mechanisms of GDM and function as preventive, predictive and therapeutic measures.

HIV gp120 modulates the vaginal transcriptome

Project description:During sexual transmission of HIV-1 from male to female partners, the vagina is the initial site of contact with HIV infected semen. The mechanism of HIV traversing the CD4 negative multi-layered stratified squamous epithelial barrier of the vagina to infect sub-epithelial susceptible immune cells, is hitherto unknown. HIV gp120 binds to several host proteins on vaginal epithelial cells. To gain an insight into the physiologic changes that may occur in vaginal epithelial cells in response to interactions with HIV gp120, and obtain an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which HIV breaches the vaginal epithelium, a global snap shot of gene expression profiles in the vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7, treated with HIV gp120 was determined. The vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7 was treated with HIV gp120 (83nM) for 24 hr, and Agilent one colour, microarrays were performed.

Mating and sperm-free seminal fluid changes the gene expression in the utero-vaginal junction of White Leghorn hens

Project description:Spermatozoa being foreign to the female are to be promptly eliminated after deposition by the local immune defense of female. However, avoiding the local immune defense sperm can be stored in the utero-vaginal junction for weeks and keep their fertilization ability. Whether, UVJ changes their gene expression after mating or SF-infusion to tolerate thjose forign cells are not understood. Therefore this study was done to observe the gene expression in the utero-vaginal junction after mating or SF-infusion.

Gestational diabetes exposure induces an altered cardiac transcriptome that is associated with impaired cardiac function in the rat offspring

Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common complication of pregnancy. Children of mothers with GDM are at an increased risk for the development of cardiometabolic disease later in life, though the mechanisms responsible for this observation are unknown. We propose that an altered cardiac transcriptome, programmed in utero, may be a contributing mechanism to cardiometabolic disease development and hypothesize that the hearts of offspring exposed to GDM will exhibit altered gene expression pathways. The purpose of this project will be to study alterations in the cardiac transcriptome of young adult rat offspring after exposure to GDM to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the developmental origins of cardiovascular disease.
