Project description:Therapy of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is often ineffective, even under optimal conditions, and adapted subclones with attenuated agr-mediated virulence activation are associated with persistent infection and mortality. To understand how apparent loss of virulence leads to increased mortality, we sequenced complete genomes from clone pairs from colonizing and infected sites of patients in whom S. aureus demonstrated a within-host downshift in agr function in the infecting isolate. Clone pairs with a downshift in agr function showed substantial genetic divergence compared to wild-type pairs from controls. Complementation studies further identified an agr-defective bacteremic strain that was highly virulent in vivo, which we linked to a mutation that restored expression of the agr-regulated ess/Type-VII secretion system; a known virulence factor. Our results suggest that selection pressure during invasive infection is strong enough to mutationally bypass agr-deficiency associated loss of virulence, and that efforts to suppress agr function may need to be reconsidered.

Project description:Genetic heterogeneity though common in tumors has been rarely documented in cell lines. To examine how often B-lymphoma cell lines are comprised of subclones, we performed immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain hypermutation analysis. Revealing that subclones are not rare in B-cell lymphoma cell lines, 6/49 Ig hypermutated cell lines (12%) consisted of subclones with individual Ig mutations. Subclones were also identified in 2/284 leukemia/lymphoma cell lines exhibiting bimodal CD marker expression. We successfully isolated 10 subclones from four cell lines HG3, SU-DHL-5, TMD-8, U-2932). Whole exome sequencing was performed to molecularly characterize these subclones. We in detail describe the clonal structure of cell line HG3, derived from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. HG3 consists of three lineages each bearing clone-specific aberrations, gene expression and DNA methylation patterns. While donor patient leukemic cells were CD5+ , two of three HG3 subclones had independently lost this marker. CD5 on HG3 cells was regulated by epigenetic/transcriptional mechanisms rather than by alternative splicing as reported hitherto. In conclusion, we show that the presence of subclones in cell lines carrying individual mutations and characterized by sets of differentially expressed genes is not uncommon. We show also that these subclones can be useful isogenic models for regulatory and functional studies.

Project description:Medium conditioned by LLC cells stimulates thermogenic gene expression when added onto primary adipocytes. We generated single cell colonies from parental LLC cells. Media conditioned by the subclones stimulated thermogenic gene expression in primary adipocytes at varying degrees. Subclones 2, 3, 6 and 28 produce significantly larger amount of thermogenic activity than the subclones 18, 19, 23 and 24. We compared gene expression profiles of these subclones to identify secreted factors enriched in the more thermogenic clones.

Project description:U87MG is a glioblastoma cell line that shows substantial heterogeneity despite long-term passaging. We used microarrays to identify variations in gene expression that are associated with phenotypic differences among subclones derived from U87MG.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori has a very plastic genome, reflecting its high rate of recombination and point mutation. This plasticity promotes divergence of the population by the development of subclones and presumably enhances adaptation to host niches. We have investigated the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of two such subclones isolated from one patient as well as the genetic evolution of these isolates during experimental infection. Whole-genome genotyping of the isolates using DNA microarrays revealed that they were more similar to each other than to a panel of other genotyped strains recovered from different hosts. Nonetheless, they still showed significant differences. The genomic evolution of both isolates during the infection of conventionally raised and germ-free mice was monitored over the course of 3 months. The Cag PAI-positive isolate was also surveyed after a 10 month colonization of conventionally raised transgenic animals (n = 9 mice). Microarray analysis of the Cag PAI and sequence analysis of the cagA, recA, and 16S rRNA genes disclosed no changes in recovered isolates. Together, these results reveal that the H. pylori population infecting one individual can undergo significant divergence, creating stable subclones with substantial genotypic and phenotypic differences.

Project description:Patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) experience high morbidity and mortality due to S. aureus skin infections and sepsis, but the causative immune defect is unclear. We propose that high levels of LAIR2 in CTCL suppress LAIR1 inhibitory signaling, promoting inflammation and tissue damage, which increases S. aureus susceptibility. Mice do not have a LAIR2 homolog, so we used Lair1 KO mice to model LAIR2 overexpression. In a model of subcutaneous S. aureus skin infection, Lair1 KO mice had significantly larger abscesses and areas of dermonecrosis compared to WT. Lair1 KO exhibited a pattern of increased inflammatory responses in infection and sterile immune stimulation, including increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and myeloid chemokines, neutrophil ROS, and collagen/ECM remodeling pathways. Notably, compared to WT, Lair1 KO infected skin had a similar bacterial burden and neutrophils and monocytes had equivalent S. aureus phagocytosis. These findings support a model in which lack of LAIR1 signaling results in an excessive inflammatory response that does not improve infection control. CTCL tissues harbored similar patterns of increased cytokine and collagen production, suggesting that high levels of LAIR2 in CTCL recapitulates Lair1 KO, causing inflammatory tissue damage and compromising host defense against S. aureus infection.
