Gene expression profile at the single-cell level of Shiga toxin 2+ white cells in the blood

ABSTRACT: Shiga toxin (Stx)-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) poses a grave, life-threatening complication for which a definitive treatment remains elusive. To exert its cytotoxic effect on renal cells, Stx must be delivered from infected intestines to the kidney as the passive toxin dissemination has been excluded. The mechanism underlying Stx delivery, however, remains unclear. Here we pinpoint monocytes as the primary carriers responsible for transporting Stx2 to the renal region. Through single-cell sequencing analysis of peripheral white blood cells that have bound to Stx2 and have been sorted by flow cytometry, we observe that nearly all monocytes exhibit binding to Stx2, whereas less than 10% of neutrophils are associated with Stx2, albeit with a lower affinity.

Alterations in gene expression in response to different regimes of Shiga toxin 2

Project description:The microarray data provided here belong to a study that describes two different Shiga toxin (Stx) induced models of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in mice. Although several rodent models of HUS were published, it still remains difficult to reproduce all clinical features of human HUS. Here, two different Stx2 regimes combined with volume resuscitation were tested in C57BL/6J wild type mice. Animals were euthanized because of kidney injury after 3 or 7 days respectively. Kidneys were removed for histological evaluation and RNA extraction. Kidney injury was confirmed histologically and by laboratory parameters in plasma. Data for the respective vehicle treated groups are also provided here.

Effects of E. coli Shiga toxin on the gene expression profile of human microvascular endothelial cells

Project description:Changes in endothelial phenotype induced by E. coli-derived Shiga toxins (Stx) are believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome. Stx inactivate host ribosomes, but also alter gene expression at concentrations that minimally affect global protein synthesis. The effect of Stx on the gene expression profile of human microvascular endothelial cells was examined using the Affymetrix HG-U133A platform. Data were processed using 13 different methods and revealed 369 unique differentially expressed genes, 318 of which were up-regulated and 51 of which were down-regulated. These studies implicated activation of the CXCR4/CXCR7/SDF-1 chemokine pathway in Stx-mediated pathogenesis. Primary human dermal microvascular endothelial cells were treated with vehicle or Shiga toxin (10 fM, 24 h, n = 6) and changes in steady-state mRNA levels were determined by hybridization to Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays

Shiga toxin remodels the intestinal epithelial transcriptional response to Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Project description:Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a food-borne pathogen that causes diarrheal disease and the potentially lethal hemolytic uremic syndrome. Here, we used an infant rabbit model of EHEC infection that recapitulates many aspects of human intestinal disease to comprehensively assess the host colonic epithelial and lamina propria cell transcriptional responses to EHEC infection. Furthermore, comparisons of colonic pathology and intestinal transcriptomic profiles in animals infected with EHEC strains containing or lacking Shiga toxins (∆∆stx) were carried out to investigate how these potent toxins shape the host response to the pathogen. We found that Stx is required for severe, multi-focal hemorrhage and extensive apoptosis in the colon. RNA-sequencing revealed that EHEC infection elicits a robust innate immune response in the colonic epithelium that is dramatically shaped by Stx. Over 1400 genes were differentially expressed in animals infected with WT versus ∆∆stx EHEC strains. Several pathways linked to innate immune responses were dependent on Stx. Upregulated genes in the presence of toxin included cytokines IL23a and CXCL8, as well as F3, the gene encoding the coagulation initiator Tissue Factor. RNA FISH revealed that these elevated transcripts were found almost exclusively in epithelial cells, suggesting that Stx remodels the transcriptional profile of the epithelium. Collectively, these findings reveal that Stx potently modulates the innate immune response to EHEC in the intestine, and suggest that Stx drives the response to infection towards type 3 immunity.

Comparative genomic profiling and gene expression of Escherichia coli O103:H25 Oslo 2006 outbreak strain

Project description:A food-borne outbreak of haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and HUS caused by E. coli O103:H25 occurred in Norway, 2006. The outbreak included 17 registered cases, of which 10 developed HUS. The aim of this study was to characterize two E. coli O103:H25 isolates from this outbreak. Only one of the isolates carry the stx2 gene (by PCR). Since they have the same typing profile by typing method MLVA, we expect the isolates to have identical gene content except from an Stx2-encoding phage. Therefore, we further investigate whether the Stx2-encoding phage has any impact on the gene expression. Keywords: mixed, gene expression, comparative genomic hybridization Triplicate samples of mRNA from a test strain O157:H7 EDL933 and two outbreak strains - one Stx positive and one stx negative were co-hybridized with genomic DNA from the same strain. Triplicate samples of the Stx positive strain grown at acidic conditions was also co-hybridized with genomic DNA from the Stx positive strain. Genomic DNA for each strain is technical replicates only.

Expression data from Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell (RPTEC)

Project description:Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) from Escherichia coli is thought to be a main factor to casue renal dysfunction in Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infection. The renal dysfunction caused by the proximal tubular defects can be detected in the earlier EHEC infection. However, the precise information of gene expression from proximal tubular epithelial cells has yet to be clarified. We performed microarray experiments using Stx2-injected mouse kidney and Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), and extracted common genes that were differentially expressed.

Host-derived Extracellular Trypsin Primes Shiga toxin 2a for Enhanced Intoxication with Reduced Dependence on Retrograde Trafficking

Project description:Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a complication of STEC infections. Although canonical Stx intoxication was known to depend upon retrograde trafficking to the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, the impact of extracellular proteolytic priming on the retrograde pathway remained poorly defined. In this study, we showed that the extracellular trypsin cleavage of Stx2a was associated with enhanced cytotoxicity and reduced sensitivity to inhibition of the canonical retrograde pathway. Proteolytically processed Stx2a had increased cytotoxicity in cells expressing globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) receptor compared to its non-processed counterpart, suggesting that receptor dependency is retained after proteolytic priming. Compared with intact Stx2a, the proteolyzed form retained substantial cytotoxicity under pharmacologic inhibition of retrograde trafficking and remained sensitive to perturbation of thiol reduction and Hsp70 function. Importantly, Stx2a exposure increased extracellular trypsin levels in association with IL-1β/IL-6 signaling and NLRP3/caspase activity, consistent with a cytokine–trypsin amplification loop. In vivo, proteolyzed Stx2a caused enhanced mortality, acute kidney injury, and injury-related gene expression changes relative to native Stx2a. These findings support trypsin-mediated extracellular proteolytic priming as a host-associated determinant of Stx2a pathogenicity and HUS progression.
