Project description:Azithromycin (AZM) reduces pulmonary inflammation and exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with emphysema. The antimicrobial effects of AZM on the lung microbiome are not known and may contribute to its beneficial effects. Methods. Twenty smokers with emphysema were randomized to receive AZM 250 mg or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed at baseline and after treatment. Measurements included: rDNA gene quantity and sequence. Results. Compared with placebo, AZM did not alter bacterial burden but reduced α-diversity, decreasing 11 low abundance taxa, none of which are classical pulmonary pathogens. Conclusions. AZM treatment the lung microbiome Randomized trial comparing azithromycin (AZM) treatment with placebo for eight weeks. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were obtained before and after treatment to explore the effects of AZM on microbiome, in the lower airways. 16S rRNA was quantified and sequenced (MiSeq) The amplicons from total 39 samples are barcoded and the barcode is provided in the metadata_complete.txt file.

Project description:P. aeruginosa produces serious chronic infections in hospitalized patients and immunocompromised individuals, including cystic fibrosis patients. The molecular mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa responds to antibiotics and other stresses to promote persistent infections may provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Azithromycin (AZM), an antibiotic frequently utilized in cystic fibrosis treatment, is thought to improve clinical outcomes through a number of mechanisms including impaired biofilm growth and quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa. However, the mechanisms underlying the transcriptional response to AZM remain unclear. Here, we interrogated the P. aeruginosa transcriptional response to AZM using a fast and affordable genome-wide approach to quantitate RNA 3-prime-ends (3pMap). We identify new riboregulators and identify a prominent role of transcription termination in the response to AZM treatment.

Project description:Low-dose macrolides are effective therapy in patients with chronic lung infections, but the mechanisms of action are unclear. We compared global gene expression profiles between P.aeruginosa with and without low-dose Azithromycin (AZM) to study why the low-dose macrolide therapy is effective for cystic fibrosis and diffuse panbronchiolitis.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe multi-drug resistant infections that often lead to bacteremia and sepsis. Physiologically relevant conditions can increase the susceptibility of pathogens to antibiotics, such as azithromycin (AZM). When compared to minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in lab media, AZM had a 16-fold lower MIC in tissue culture medium with 5% MHB, and a 64-fold lower MIC in this tissue culture medium with 20% human serum. AZM also demonstrated increased synergy in combination with synthetic host defence peptides DJK-5 and IDR-1018 under host-like conditions and in a murine abscess model. To mechanistically study the altered effects of AZM under physiologically relevant conditions, global transcriptional analysis was performed on P. aeruginosa with and without effective concentrations of AZM. This revealed that the arn operon, mediating arabinosaminylation of lipopolysaccharides, and related regulatory systems, were downregulated in host-like media when compared to MHB. Inactivation of genes within the arn operon led to increased susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to AZM and great increases in synergy between AZM and other antimicrobial agents, indicating that dysregulation of the arn operon might explain increased AZM uptake and synergy in host-like media. Furthermore, genes involved in central and energy metabolism, and ribosome biogenesis were dysregulated more in physiologically relevant conditions treated with AZM, likely due to general changes in cell physiology as a result of the increased effectiveness of AZM in these conditions. These data suggest that, in addition to the arn operon, there are multiple factors in host-like environments that are responsible for observed changes in susceptibility.

Project description:The placenta mediates adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia, characterized by gestational hypertension and proteinuria. Placental cell type heterogeneity in preeclampsia is not well-understood and limits mechanistic interpretation of bulk gene expression measures. We generated single-cell RNA-sequencing samples for integration with existing data to create the largest deconvolution reference of 19 fetal and 8 maternal cell types from placental villous tissue at term. We deconvoluted eight published microarray case-control studies of preeclampsia. Our findings indicate substantial placental cellular heterogeneity in preeclampsia that predict previously observed bulk gene expression differences. Our deconvolution reference lays the groundwork for cellular heterogeneity-aware investigation into placental dysfunction and adverse birth outcomes.
