Transcriptional profiling of yeast to hyphae and hyphae to yeast transitions for Histoplasma strains differing in chromosome copy number.

ABSTRACT: Heritable phenotypic switches are fundamental to the ability of cells to respond to specific conditions. Such switches are key to the success of environmental pathogens, which encounter disparate conditions as they transition between the environment and host. We determine that the copy number of chromosome seven in the thermally dimorphic fungus Histoplasma dramatically affects the rate of transition. Though Histoplasma is haploid, a second copy of this chromosome is present in natural isolates of multiple Histoplasma species and is gained and lost at a high rate. Cells carrying two copies of this chromosome exhibit aspects of the environmental transcriptome even under host-like conditions and have a competitive advantage in the transition to the environmental form. Conversely, these cells are considerably less virulent than euploid cells and have a competitive disadvantage in the mouse model of infection. Chromosome seven contains a previously unstudied transcription factor that, when overexpressed in euploid Histoplasma, is sufficient to promote some of the key phenotypes of aneuploidy. We hypothesize that rapid gain and loss of this chromosome benefits Histoplasma by increasing phenotypic variation, thus helping populations of cells survive abrupt transitions between environment and host. This series contains expression profiling of yeast to hyphae and hyphae to yeast transitions for strains differing in chromosome seven copy number.

Piezo1 initiates host immune defense against pathogenic fungi through mechanosensory recognition of Candida albicans hyphae

Project description:Candida albicans metamorphoses from benign yeast to a rigid hyphae , becoming an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. The process by which immune cells discern fungal transformations remains elusive. Here we report that the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 is indispensable for recognizing fungal hyphae and triggering anti-fungal innate immune responses. Hyphae-triggered Piezo1 activation increased CLRs expression in innate immune cells by inducing the expression of C/EBPb via the Piezo1/CaMKs/CREB axis. In addition, Piezo1/CaMKs signaling activated kinases NDR1/2, which augmented NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and promoted hyphae-induced inflammation. Abolishing the yeast-to-hyphae transition dampens CLR and NLRP3 activation. Piezo1-deficient mice exhibit compromised clearance of C. albicans infection, whereas Piezo1 agonist amplifies C. albicans clearance. In addition, CaMKs, CREB or NDR1/2 inhibition exacerbates hyphae infections, like Piezo1 deficiency. Therefore, we ascertain Piezo1-mediated mechanotransduction as vital for immune surveillance and control of hyphal C. albicans, heralding Piezo1 agonist as a potential remedy for fungal infections.

Single tip transcriptomics of neighboring hyphae of Aspergillus niger

Project description:Mycelia of filamentous fungi explore new substrates by means of hyphae that extend from the periphery of the colony. Previously, it has been shown by immuno-labelling, reporter studies and in situ hybridization that these exploring hyphae are heterogenic with respect to protein secretion and transcription. We performed single hyphal tip RNA profiling using microarrays to assess the differences in RNA accumulation in neighboring exploring hyphae

Gene expression in aerial hyphae in response to rep1 deletion in Ustilago maydis

Project description:The rep1 gene of the maize pathogen Ustilago maydis encodes a pre-pro-protein that is processed in the secretory pathway into 11 peptides. These so-called repellents form amphipathic amyloid fibrils at the surface of aerial hyphae. Strains in which the rep1 gene is inactivated (∆rep1 strain) are affected in aerial hyphae formation. This makes these strains instrumental to assess changes in global gene expression as a consequence of aerial growth. Microarray analysis revealed that only 31 genes in the ∆rep1 SG200 strain had a fold change in expression of >= 2. Twenty-two of these genes are up-regulated and half of them encode small secreted proteins (SSP’s) with unknown functions. Seven of the SSP genes and two other genes that are over-expressed in the ∆rep1 SG200 strain encode secreted cysteine-rich proteins (SCRP’s). Interestingly, most of the SCRP’s are predicted to form amyloids. The SCRP gene um00792 showed the highest up-regulation in the ∆rep1 strain. Using GFP as a reporter, it was shown that this gene is over-expressed in the layer of hyphae at the medium-air interface. Taken together, it is concluded that only minor changes occur in the expression profile when U. maydis forms aerial structures. Key words: aerial hypha, repellent, hydrophobin-like protein, Ustilago maydis, SSP, SCRP, fungal pathogenicity.

RNA-seq of limmmunocompetent mice in response to Aspergillus fumigatus conidia and hyphae

Project description:We bulit a pulmonary aspergillosis model in immunocompetent mice. Mice were inoculated intratracheally with 50 μL suspension of conidia , hyphal fragments or normal saline, respectively, after anesthesia. Lungs from were harvested and ground for RNA extraction 24 hours after fungal inoculation. The result of RNA-seq indicated both conidia and hyphae can activate a series of immunologically relevant pathways and these pathways were much more strongly activated by hyphae. Hyphae could promote Th2 cell differentiation and suppress Th1 cell differentiation. Both hyphae and conidia could activate Th17 cell differentiation.

Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans SC5314, hgc1Δ and cph1Δ/efg1Δ in yeast-and hyphae-inducing conditions at two time points.

Project description:Goal of this study was to determine metabolic adaptation processes in C. albicans associated to hyphal morphogenesis. Accessory to the metabolic profiling the corresponding transcriptome was investigated. To identify media-specific and general adaptation three different hyphae stimuli were used (M199 pH 7.4, Human serum and N-Aectylglucosamine) were used and compared again two respective yeast conditions (SD and M199 pH 4). Two filamentation-affected mutant strains were included - lacking either two central regulators of filamentation (cph1Δ/efg1Δ) or a downstream effector (hgc1Δ) - for the identification of specfic morphotype-dependent metabolic adaptation in repsonse to hyphae stimuli. Two different time points (90 min and 240 min after transition to test medium) were investigated to define the progression of the examined adaptation processes.
