Invasive Acinetobacter baumannii ABC141 strain relies on the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) export system for adhesion to host cells

ABSTRACT: Acinetobacter baumannii is associated with severe hospital-acquired multi-drug resistant infections worldwide, causing significant mortality and morbidity in intensive care patients or under prolonged hospitalization. Multiple studies have recently shown that a proportion of circulating clinical isolates establish a transient multiplication niche inside phagocytic and non-phagocytic eukaryotic cells. We have previously demonstrated that the A. baumannii ABC141 strain invades human endothelial and epithelial cells, where it efficiently multiplies without induction of cytotoxicity. Here, we show that ABC141 adhesion, invasion, and intracellular multiplication depend on the growth stage, being most efficient in the exponential growth phase. To define the gene expression signature most favorable to an intracellular lifestyle, a transcriptomic comparison was carried out between exponentially grown ABC141 and cultures at the stationary phase. Although most of the pathways identified reflected growth-related metabolic changes, we observed an upregulation of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) export system. Analysis of a mutant strain lacking the tatABC operon revealed this secretion system is only required for adhesion to host cells but not invasion and intracellular multiplication. These data highlight a new role for the Tat export pathway in A. baumannii pathogenesis.

Dual-RNA-seq of Acinetobacter baumannii ABC141 inside endothelial cells EA.hy926

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii poses a substantial global health threat, causing severe multi-drug-resistant infections in hospitalized patients. Circulating clinical isolates present remarkable diversity, with a proportion capable of establishing a transient intracellular niche suitable for persistence, multiplication, and spread. Yet, it remains unknown which bacterial factors mediate the formation and maintenance of this niche, especially within non-phagocytic cells, nor what host responses are elicited. This work demonstrates that the invasive A. baumannii ABC141 strain does not secrete ammonia in endothelial cells as previously shown for other A. baumannii strains multiplying within macrophages but resides in an acidic vacuole devoid of active lysosomal degradative enzymes. Using a Dual-RNAseq approach, we mapped the host and bacterial gene expression during the replicative stage of the infection. An atypical hypoxia cell response was observed without significant induction of the HIF1 pathway, with no metabolic shift or disturbance of mitochondria. Surprisingly, ABC141 efficiently grew in hypoxic conditions in culture and within host cells. In addition, we found a bacterial signature reflective of an adaptation to a nutrient-deprived environment. Our work also highlights a differential role for ABC141 secretion systems, with the T1SS assisting intracellular multiplication and the T2SS required for host cell invasion, implicating for the first time the T2SS in the intracellular lifecycle of invasive ABC141 in endothelial cells.

Proteomic analysis of the membrane-enriched fraction of trypomastigostes released from wild type, LAMP1/2 KO or LAMP2 KO fibroblasts

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi invades non-professional phagocytic cells by subverting their membrane repair process, which is dependent on membrane injury and cell signaling, intracellular calcium increase and lysosome recruitment. Cells lacking Lysosome Associated Membrane Proteins 1 and 2 are less permissive to parasite invasion, however more prone to parasite intracellular multiplication. Several passages through a different intracellular environment can significantly change T. cruzi’s gene expression profile. We evaluated whether one single passage through LAMP deficient (KO) or wild type (WT) fibroblasts could influence invasion ability of T. cruzi Y strain trypomastigotes in L6 myoblasts and WT fibroblasts. Our results regarding their biological behavior clearly indicated that parasites released from WT cells (TcY-WT), LAMP1/2 KO cells (TcY-L1/2-/-) or LAMP2 KO (TcY-L2-/-) cells are distinct from each other. Since these alterations most likely would reflect differences among parasite surface molecules, we also evaluated their proteome. We identified few protein complexes, membrane and secreted proteins regulated in our dataset. Among those, some members of MASP, mucins, trans-sialidases and gp63 proteins family, which are known to play an important role during parasite infection and could correlate to TcY-WT, TcY-L1/2-/- and TcY-L2-/- biological behavior.

Intracellular proliferation and virulence gene expression of Salmonella are influenced by pre-invasion growth conditions

Project description:Salmonella invasion of non-phagocytic cells is a dynamic process that requires the translocation of effector proteins into host cells by a type III secretion system (T3SS1) encoded on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1). The signals involved in T3SS1 induction in vivo are not known, but SPI1-induced invasive Salmonella can be prepared by growth in synthetic media. Here we compared two different methods of preparing SPI1-induced bacteria by using a combination of transcriptome analysis, a single-cell reporter assay and intracellular gene expression analysis to reveal clear differences between these two bacterial populations that are reflected in their ability to interact with cultured epithelial cells. Invasion efficiency and intracellular replication were greater for bacteria grown with aeration to late-log phase compared to those grown without aeration to stationary phase. No significant differences in SPI1 regulon expression were revealed by transcriptome analysis. By contrast, surface appendage and stress response genes were considerably changed. Single cell analyses of gene expression revealed variation in the frequency of SPI1-induced bacteria and a correlation between SPI1-induction and the presence of flagella. The expression of virulence genes following invasion of cultured epithelial cells was also found to be predetermined by pre-invasion growth conditions.

Adaptation of Bacillus subtilis tat and S313 mutant cells to growth in Lysogeny Broth (LB) lacking NaCl

Project description:In B. subtilis, the Tat secretion system is essential for effective growth in media lacking iron or NaCl, which is related to the Tat-dependent export of the heme peroxidase EfeB. In Lysogeny Broth (LB) without NaCl, tat mutant bacteria undergo cell lysis in the early exponential growth phase. Part of the population of mutant bacteria then adapts to the salt-deprived condition and resumes growth. The absence of sRNA S313, which has a predicted role in modulating the expression of the efeUOB operon, also leads to a lysis-recovery phenotype. In this study, the transcriptomes of B. subtilis wild type, tat mutant and S313 mutant were analyzed during lysis and recovery phase in order to elucidate the reasons for lysis of mutant bacteria in the absence of NaCl and subsequent adaptation to this condition. It was, e.g., shown that tat mutant cells suffer from severe oxidative stress and starvation.

Profiling of genes deregulated in CD4+ T cells expressing constitutively full-length or first-exon Tat protein of HIV-1

Project description:Background: The role of HIV-1 Tat protein in gene expression deregulation and functional biology of CD4+ T lymphocytes was analyzed, as well as the function of Tat second exon for the complete activity of this protein. Gene expression deregulation profiles of triplicate samples from Jurkat cells expressing intracellular full-length Tat (1-101aa) in comparison with a truncated form lacking the second exon (1-72aa) was evaluated by bioinformatics using whole human genome microarrays. Results: More than 1000 genes were deregulated in Jurkat Tat101 cells, whereas less than 300 genes were deregulated in Jurkat Tat72 cells (q-value<5%; fold change >2 or <-2). Ontological analysis indicated that several functions were impaired mainly in Jurkat Tat101 as cellular movement, growth and proliferation, cell-to-cell signaling, molecular transport, cell death, cell morphology, and T-cell activation. In accordance, biological and functional analyses proved that Tat101 intracellular expression induced changes in cell size and complexity, cytoskeletal rearrangements and chemotaxis impairment, higher resistance to apoptosis, decrease in the surface expression of adhesion molecules and receptors, and higher basal transcriptional activation. These alterations were attenuated or absent in Jurkat Tat72 cells. Furthermore, computational modeling showed that the absence of second exon severely reduced the C-terminus of Tat72 with notable decrease of positive charging. Conclusion: Full-length Tat intracellular expression induced dramatic structural changes and impaired essential functions in CD4+ T cells, whereas Tat72 was less aggressive. Consequently, although Tat first exon is transcriptionally autonomous, second exon should be indispensable for triggering HIV-1 pathogenic events induced by Tat protein.

Gene affected by deletion of 6S RNA in post-exponential phase

Project description:Legionella pneumophila is a gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen that infects and multiplies in a broad range of phagocytic protozoan and mammalian phagocytes. Based on the observation that small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) play an important role in controlling virulence-related genes in several pathogenic bacteria, we attempted to test the hypothesis that sRNAs play a similar role in L. pneumophila. We used computational prediction followed by experimental verification to identify and characterize sRNAs encoded in the L. pneumophila genome. A 50-mer probe microarray was constructed to test the expression of predicted sRNAs in bacteria grown under a variety of conditions. This strategy successfully identified 22 expressed RNAs, out of which six were confirmed by northern blot and RACE. One of the identified sRNAs is highly expressed when the bacteria enter post exponential phase and computational prediction of its secondary structure reveals a striking similarity to the structure of 6S RNA, a widely distributed prokaryotic sRNA, known to regulate the activity of σ70-containing RNAP. A 70-mer probe microarray was used to identify genes affected by L. pneumophila 6S RNA in stationary phase. The 6S RNA encoded by the ssrS gene positively regulates expression of genes encoding type IVB secretion system effectors, stress response genes such as groES and recA as well as many genes with unknown or hypothetical functions. Deletion of 6S RNA significantly reduced L. pneumophila intracellular multiplication in both protist and mammalian host cells, but had no detectable effect on growth in rich media.
