Quorum sensing by Streptococcus pyogenes induces global inflammatory suppression in host macrophages

ABSTRACT: Streptococcus pyogenes or Group A Streptococcus (GAS), a significant human pathogen, employs quorum sensing (QS) systems to coordinate its behavior and genetic regulation to enhance survival. Our previous research established that one such QS system, the Rgg2/3 system, can suppress macrophage NFκB activity and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Yet, the scope of suppression and the mechanism by which it occurs remain unknown. In this study, transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic approaches were used to address these unanswered questions. It was found that QS-ON GAS broadly suppressed most inflammatory transcriptional pathways, including those of NFκB, type I and type II interferon responses, and intracellular stress responses. Yet, we found that no alternative transcriptional programs were activated after QS-ON GAS infection. Additionally, phosphoproteomics showed no disruption in typical inflammatory pathways such as those related to NFκB and MAPK activation, which was confirmed by western blotting and translocation assays. Instead, the proteomic data highlighted a potential role for epigenetic mechanisms of inflammatory regulation. A role for epigenetic regulation in QS-mediated immunomodulation was validated using pharmacological inhibitors of histone and chromatin modifiers. These findings expand our understanding of QS-mediated suppression and of GAS virulence strategies that appear to employ atypical methods of restricting inflammation. Uncovering this mechanism will offer invaluable insight into GAS itself, as well as into understudied immunological pathways.

The proteomic and transcriptomic landscapes altered by Rgg2/3 activity in Streptococcus pyogenes

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes, otherwise known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is an important and highly adaptable human pathogen with the ability to cause both superficial and severe diseases. Understanding how S. pyogenes senses and responds to its environment will likely aid in determining how it causes a breadth of diseases. One regulatory network involved in GAS’s ability to sense and respond to the changing environment is the Rgg2/3 quorum sensing (QS) system, which responds to metal and carbohydrate availability and regulates changes to the bacterial surface. To better understand the impact of Rgg2/3 QS on S. pyogenes physiology, we performed RNA-seq and TMT (tandem mass tag)-LC-MS/MS analysis on cells in which this system was induced with SHP pheromone or disrupted. Primary findings confirmed that pheromone stimulation in wildtype cultures is limited to the induction of operons whose promoters contain previously determined Rgg2/3 binding sequences. However, a deletion mutant of rgg3, a strain that endogenously produces elevated amounts of pheromone, led to extended alterations of the transcriptome and proteome, ostensibly by stress-induced pathways. Under such exaggerated pheromone conditions, a connection was identified between Rgg2/3 and the stringent response. Mutation of relA, the bifunctional guanosine tetra- and penta-phosphate nucleoside synthetase/hydrolase, and alarmone synthase genes sasA and sasB, impacted culture doubling times and disabled induction of Rgg2/3 in response to mannose, while manipulation of Rgg2/3 signaling modestly altered nucleotide levels. Our findings indicate that excessive pheromone production or exposure places stress on GAS resulting in an indirect altered proteome and transcriptome beyond primary pheromone signaling.

Counteractive balancing of transcriptome expression involving CodY and CovRS in Streptococcus pyogenes

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) responds to environmental changes in a manner that results in an adaptive regulation of the transcriptome. Global transcriptional regulators are able to integrate important extracellular and intracellular information and are responsible for modulation of the transcriptional network. The roles of several global transcriptional regulators in adaptation and virulence gene expression have been described. In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles of CodY and CovRS played in Streptococcus pyogenes. keywords: genetic modification

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of Streptococcus pyogenes HKU16 and an isogenic gshT mutant. Manuscript title: Streptococcus pyogenes hijacks host glutathione for growth and innate immune evasion

Project description:The nasopharynx and the skin are the major oxygen-rich anatomical sites for colonization by the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS). To establish infection, GAS must survive oxidative stress generated during aerobic metabolism and the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by host innate immune cells. Glutathione is the major host antioxidant molecule while GAS is glutathione-auxotrophic. Here we report the molecular characterization of the ABC transporter substrate binding protein GshT in the GAS glutathione salvage pathway. We demonstrate that glutathione uptake is critical for aerobic growth of GAS and that impaired import of glutathione induces oxidative stress that triggers enhanced production of the reducing equivalent NADPH. Our results highlight the interrelationship between glutathione assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, virulence factor production and innate immune evasion. Together, these findings suggest an adaptive strategy employed by extracellular bacterial pathogens to exploit host glutathione stores for their own benefit.

Proteome analysis of extracellular vesicles released from Streptococcus pyogenes

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus: GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes streptococcal pharyngitis, skin and soft-tissue infections, and life-threatening conditions such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). A large number of virulence-related genes are encoded on GAS genomes, which are involved in host-pathogen interaction, colonization, immune invasion, and long-term survival within hosts, causing the diverse symptoms. Here, we investigated the interaction between GAS-derived extracellular vesicles and host cells in order to reveal pathogenicity mechanisms induced by GAS infection.

Multiple roles of RNase Y in Streptococcus pyogenes mRNA metabolism

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus, GAS) is an important human pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases and sequelae. Recent studies showed virulence factor expression was controlled at multiple levels, including the post-transcriptional regulation. In this study, we examined the global half-lives of S. pyogenes mRNAs and explored the role RNase Y played in mRNA metabolism with microarray analysis. key word: genetic modification Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 wild-type cells and ?rny strains were grown in C-medium until late exponential phase. Rifampicin was added to the cell culture and samples were collected before and after rifampicin addition. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome before and after rifampicin addition was examined with microarray. Please note that mRNA decay assay resulted in considerable variations in the datasets. Samples were taken after rifampicin addition and subsequent incubation for different time intervals. During that time no new RNA is produced and the remaining RNA is degraded to various degrees.
