Response of A549 cells treated with Aspergillus fumigatus [WT-GC_vs_PrtT-GC]

ABSTRACT: Response of A549 cells treated with Aspergillus fumigatus wild type germinating conidia (WT_GC) or PrtT protease deficient mutant conidia (PrtT-GC) or inert acrylic 2-4 micron beads (Beads) for 8h Aspergillus fumigatus is the most commonly encountered mold pathogen of humans, predominantly infecting the respiratory system. Colonization and penetration of the lung alveolar epithelium is a key but poorly understood step in the infection process. This study focused on identifying the transcriptional and cell-signaling responses activated in A549 alveolar carcinoma cells incubated in the presence of A. fumigatus wild-type and ΔPrtT protease-deficient germinating conidia and culture filtrates (CF). Microarray analysis of exposed A549 cells identified distinct classes of genes whose expression is altered in the presence of germinating conidia and CF and suggested the involvement of both NFkB and MAPK signaling pathways in mediating the cellular response. Phosphoprotein analysis of A549 cells confirmed that JNK and ERK1/2 are phosphorylated in response to CF treatment in a protease-dependent manner. Inhibition of JNK or ERK1/2 kinase activity substantially decreased CF-induced cell damage, including cell peeling, actin-cytoskeleton damage, and reduction in metabolic activity and necrotic death. These results suggest that inhibition of MAPK-mediated host responses to treatment with A. fumigatus CF decreases cellular damage, a finding with possible clinical implications.

Aspergillus fumigatus whole genome transcriptomic study using AWAFUGE microarray after exposition to murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) and human lung epithelial cells (A549).

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus capable to cause an important disease known as invasive aspergillosis. Challenge different cell lines is a crucial strategy to undercover new virulence factors involved in the infection process. In this research, RAW 264.7 macrophages and A549 lung epithelial cells were challenge using A. fumigatus conidia in a MOI of 10 and 5 respectively. When these conidia reach 30% of germination, the total RNA was isolated (A. fumigatus alone (Control), A. fumigatus vs RAW 264.7, and A. fumigatus vs A549) and purified using the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen). The AWAFUGE (Agilent Whole A. fumigatus Genome Expression 44K v.1) hybridization was carried out following previously publish protocols (A-MEXP-2352 and E-MTAB-5314).

The dynamic surface proteome of allergenic fungal conidia

Project description:Fungal spores and hyphal fragments are major contributors to the allergic response in the human lung. In this study, using a trypsin-shaving-proteomics approach, we identified the surface-exposed and secreted/shed proteins of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia and investigated the dynamics of the surface proteome under different conditions, including temperature variation and germination. We find that the surface proteome of resting A. fumigatus conidia is quite dynamic, as evidenced by drastically different surface proteomes under different growth conditions. We further investigated two observed A. fumigatus surface proteins, ScwA and CweA; ScwA is specific to the Aspergillus genus and only expressed on conidia grown at higher temperatures, whereas CweA is found throughout the Aspergillus and Penicillium genera. We extended our analysis of the surface proteome of A. fumigatus to other allergy-inducing pathogens; Alternaria alternata, Penicillium rubens, and Cladosporium herbarum, and performed comparative proteomics on resting and swollen conidia, as well as secreted proteins from germinating conidia. In this dataset, we detected 125 protein orthologs in the extracellular region of all four organisms, and 42 nonorthologous proteins produced by A. fumigatus, which may be useful in the development of future diagnostics. This study highlights the dynamic nature of the conidial surface and implicates growth conditions in the antigenicity of fungal conidia.

The responses of the pulmonary pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus to the neutrophil derived oxidant N- chlorotaurine

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is a pulmonary pathogen to individuals who are immunocompromised (e.g. mylosuppression) and those who display defects in immune equilibrium, commonly observed in the Cystic fibrosis lung and presents itself in the form as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.32 In the latter disease A. fumigatus airborne conidia penetrate the lower airways, germinate and and grow within in thick tenacious CF mucus. A. fumigatus CF colonized individuals can become sensitized to A. fumigatus secreted allergens and eventually develop a type 2 hypersensitivity reaction to AF allergens, toxins and proteases which are readily replenished into the mucus which can directly cause cell damage and peeling at the bronco – epithelium interface. A. fumigatus also induces invasive disease which carries up to 90% mortality. The effect of neutrophil oxidant NCT on A. fumigatus was determined as neutrophils are the first line of cellular defense against A. fumigatus.
