Gene expression changes in commensal 3D full thickness skin models induced by different skin bacterial mixtures.

ABSTRACT: Our data indicates that a higher bacterial species diversity is associated with a biologically stable and non-pathogenic co-culture. We established a commensal human skin model to more accurately emulate healthy skin and facilitate future investigations of microbiome-mediated effects on host health. The system is based on a commercial human full-thickness skin model that can be stably colonized with a defined bacterial community. This community comprises ten different bacterial species that encompass three main phyla, Bacillota, Actinomycetota, and Pseudomonadota, in ratios similar to those found on human skin (BAP). The suitability of BAP for skin colonization was evaluated against combinations of two or one phyla (BA, BP, AP, B, A, and P).

A conserved structured non-coding RNA coordinates growth and virulence in Clostridioides difficile. [dRNA-Seq ModT]

Project description:Bacterial non-coding RNAs fulfill a variety of cellular functions, for example as catalysts, as structural components in multiprotein complexes or as regulators of gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Some RNAs display exceptionally broad conservation across bacterial phyla and are involved in fundamental and unique cellular functions. Hence, the characterization of new RNA families with deep sequence and/or structure conservation has the potential to reveal new molecular and biological RNA functions. Here, we characterize the Clostridioides difficile ‘raiA motif’ RNA, which is conserved in approx. 2,500 bacterial species from the phyla Bacillota and Actinomycetota. We show that its transcript abundance and stability in exponentially growing bacteria rivals that of ribosomal RNAs. Deletion of the ‘raiA motif’ RNA is associated with delayed transition into stationary phase, and changes in stationary phase pathways such as spore formation, hence we renamed it ModT (modulator of transition phase). Mechanistically, we show that ModT-mediated changes in cellular cyclic di-GMP levels are linked to the pronounced sporulation defect in the modT mutant. ModT is produced in two isoforms that are largely identical in their secondary structure, but differ in their in vivo half-lives as well as their capacity to complement phenotypes associated with modT deletion. Importantly, we show that expression profiles and isoform patterns of ModT are conserved in C. perfringens and P. sordellii, and that these orthologs can functionally replace ModT in C. difficile. In summary, our findings indicate that ModT fulfills a conserved biochemical function in regulating growth transitions in bacteria, and provide a crucial step towards delineating the molecular function of its highly conserved tertiary structure.

A conserved structured non-coding RNA coordinates growth and virulence in Clostridioides difficile. [DMS-MaP]

Project description:Bacterial non-coding RNAs fulfill a variety of cellular functions, for example as catalysts of chemical reactions, as structural components in multiprotein complexes or as regulators of gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Some RNAs, such as ribosomal RNAs, display exceptionally broad conservation across bacterial phyla and are involved in fundamental and unique cellular functions. Hence, the characterization of new RNA families with deep sequence and/or structure conservation has the potential to reveal new molecular and biological RNA functions. Here, we characterize the Clostridioides difficile ‘raiA motif’ RNA, which we rename ModT (modulator of transition phase), a member of an RNA family that is conserved in approx. 2,500 physiologically diverse bacterial species belonging to the phyla Bacillota and Actinomycetota. We show that ModT transcript abundance and stability in exponentially growing bacteria rivals that of ribosomal RNAs. Deletion of modT is associated with delayed transition into stationary phase, and changes in stationary phase pathways such as spore formation and toxin production. Mechanistically, we show that ModT-mediated changes in cellular cyclic di-GMP levels are linked to a pronounced sporulation defect in the modT mutant. ModT is produced in two isoforms that are largely identical in their secondary structure, but differ in their in vivo half-lives as well as their capacity to complement the sporulation phenotype of the modT mutant. Importantly, we show that expression profiles and isoform patterns of ModT are conserved in C. perfringens and P. sordellii, and that these orthologs can functionally replace ModT in C. difficile. In summary, we provide functional evidence that ModT fulfills a conserved biochemical function in bacteria that is likely enabled by its complex tertiary structure.

Electronic nicotine delivery system use and expectorated sputum microbiota in Lebanese adults: A Pilot Study

Project description:Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are increasingly used worldwide, but their effects on respiratory microbial communities remain understudied. This pilot cross-sectional study compared the expectorated sputum microbiota of Lebanese adult ENDS users and non-ENDS users. Sputum samples were collected from 15 ENDS users and 15 non-ENDS users without chronic respiratory illness or recent antibiotic exposure. Samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA V3-V4 amplicon sequencing. Overall microbial richness, diversity, and evenness did not differ significantly between groups. In addition, presence/absence-based community composition showed no significant group-level separation. Both groups shared broadly similar dominant bacterial profiles with Bacillota, Pseudomonadota, and Bacteroidota among the most abundant phyla. Moreover, there was substantial overlap at the genus level. Despite these broad similarities, selective taxonomic differences were observed at finer resolutions including increased relative abundance of Nanosynbacter and decreased abundance of a putative Rothia species-level taxon among ENDS users after FDR correction. Actinomyces showed a nominal increase in ENDS users, but this did not remain significant after FDR correction. These findings suggest that ENDS use was not associated with broad sputum microbiota disruption in this cohort but may be associated with selective shifts in specific bacterial taxa.

Resistin-like molecule α provides vitamin A-dependent antimicrobial protection of the skin

Project description:The skin is the human body’s largest organ and is in contact with a diverse community of microorganisms that includes both resident and pathogenic bacteria. Skin immune defenses include the production of antimicrobial proteins that kill bacteria directly. However, we still have an incomplete understanding of how skin antimicrobial proteins promote homeostasis with resident bacterial communities and limit infection. Here, we show that resistin-like molecule α (RELMα) is an antibacterial protein that is produced by keratinocytes and sebocytes in the mouse skin. RELMα expression was induced in mouse skin by resident and pathogenic skin bacteria and was bactericidal for several bacterial species found on the skin, including Streptococcus pyogenes. Mice lacking RELMα had altered resident skin bacterial communities and were more susceptible to bacterial infection, indicating that RELMα controls bacterial colonization of the skin. RELMα expression required dietary vitamin A and could be induced by therapeutic retinoids that protected against bacterial infection in a RELMα-dependent manner. Resistin, another member of the RELM family, was expressed in human skin, required retinoids for expression, and killed skin bacteria, indicating a conserved function for RELM proteins in skin innate immunity. Our findings thus identify members of the RELM family as antibacterial proteins that provide vitamin A-dependent antimicrobial protection of the skin, and provide insight into why skin immunity requires adequate dietary vitamin A.

The farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin-mucus proteome

Project description:Norway is the largest producer and exporter of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) worldwide. Skin disorders correlated with bacterial infections represent an important challenge for fish farmers due to the economic losses caused. Little is known about this topic, thus studying the skin-mucus of Salmo salar and its bacterial community depict a step forward in understanding fish welfare in aquaculture. In this study, we used label free quantitative mass spectrometry to investigate the skin-mucus proteins associated with both Atlantic salmon and bacteria. In addition, the microbial temporal proteome dynamics during 9 days of mucus incubation with sterilized seawater was investigated, in order to evaluate their capacity to utilize mucus components for growth in this environment.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of full thickness mouse skin during anagen and telogen

Project description:Despite the recent application of single-cell RNA-sequencing to aspects of mouse skin biology, the full cellular heterogeneity of the mouse skin (including both epidermis and skin stroma) and its relationship with the hair cycle is still uncharted. In order to systematically compare the cellular composition of mouse skin during rest and hair growth, we created single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries from full thickness mouse skin cell suspensions sampled during anagen (5w) and telogen (9w).

scRNA-seq of embryonic skin development (developmental time series in full-thickness dorsal skin of mouse embryos)

Project description:In this study, we analysed early embryonic skin development (mus musculus; C57BL/6J) at the transcriptional level. Major questions concerned the cell type composition of early embryonic skin, and the emergence of transcriptional heterogeneity among epithelial and stromal precursor cells. Cells were isolated from embryonic dorsal skin and randomly sequenced (scRNA-Seq using 10X Genomics v2) without any cell sorting. Data from three embryonic time points (E12.5, E13.5, and E14.5) was integrated and compared to obtain a better understanding of the dynamics of early skin development.
