Anthrax Lethal Toxin-Inducd Gene Expression Changes in Mouse Lung

ABSTRACT: Enhanced susceptibility of A/J mice to death by systemic anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) administration compared to the C57BL/6 strain was observed. In this study we investigated whether systemic exposure of mice to LeTx would induce gene expression changes associated with vascular/capillary leakage in lung tissue. Lungs of the less susceptible C57BL/6 strain showed 80% fewer differentially expressed genes compared to lungs of the more sensitive A/J strain.

Expression data from anthrax lethal toxin treated primary cardiomyocytes from 1-3-day-old neonatal Balb/c mice

Project description:The activity of known anthrax lethal toxin is insufficient to account the effects on functions of cardiomyocytes. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that Anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) induce heart damage We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.

Multiple stages of evolutionary change in anthrax toxin receptor expression in humans

Project description:The advent of animal husbandry and hunting increased human exposure to zoonotic pathogens. To understand how a zoonotic disease influenced human evolution, we studied changes in human expression of anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2), which encodes a cell surface protein necessary for Bacillus anthracis virulence toxins to cause anthrax disease. In immune cells, ANTXR2 was 8-fold down-regulated in all available human samples compared to non-human primates, indicating regulatory changes early in the evolution of modern humans. We also observed multiple genetic signatures consistent with recent positive selection driving a European-specific decrease in ANTXR2 expression in several non-immune tissues affected by anthrax toxins. Our observations fit a model in which humans adapted to anthrax disease following early ecological changes associated with hunting and scavenging, as well as a second period of adaptation after the rise of modern agriculture.

Bacillus anthracis' lethal toxin induces broad transcriptional responses in human peripheral monocyte.

Project description:Anthrax lethal toxin directly targets human peripheral monocytes and causes multiple aberrant gene responses that would be expected to result in defects in human monocyte’s normal signaling transduction pathways and nction. This study provides further insights into the mechanisms associated with the host immune system collapse during an anthrax infection, and suggests that anthrax LT may have additional targets outside the well-known MAPK pathway.

Expression profile from anthrax edema toxin (ET) treated murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM)

Project description:Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, secretes three toxin proteins: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). PA is a transporter of LF and EF into host cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. LF is a metalloprotease that cleaves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinases (MKK), while EF is an adenylate cyclase, which converts ATP to cAMP. We used microarrays to decipher the specific gene regulation in edema toxin (ET), the complex of EF and PA, treated mouse bone marrow derived macrophages. Keywords: Time course
