Project description:This study aimed at: (1) Establishing the pleuropneumoniae pathological model of artificial infection; (2) Using the Agilent swine genome-wide microarray containing 43,603 probes to detect the changes in gene expression of infected pigsM-bM-^@M-^Y lungs and hilar nodes. Infection induced gene expression in swine lung and hilar node were measured at 48 hours after being inoculated with 1 mL containing 3.8 M-CM-^W 10^7 cfu/mL pleuropneumoniae serotype I by atomizing inhalation in each nostril.

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the etiologic agent of contagious pleuropneumonia, an economically important disease of commercially reared swine throughout the world. To cause this disease, A. pleuropneumoniae must rapidly overcome porcine pulmonary innate immune defenses. Effects of koromycin, an antimicrobial agent that acts as an noncompetitive inhibitor of the interaction of NQR with its quinone substrate, on the transcriptome of A. pleuropneumoniae was investigated.

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the etiologic agent of contagious pleuropneumonia, an economically important disease of commercially reared swine throughout the world. To cause this disease, A. pleuropneumoniae must rapidly overcome porcine pulmonary innate immune defenses. Since bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) contains many of the innate immune components found in the lung, we examined the gene expression of a virulent serovar 1 strain of A. pleuropneumoniae after exposure to concentrated BALF. This experiment was also carried out with a malT mutant of the same strain.

Project description:Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae affects pig health status and the swine industry worldwide. Despite of the extensive number of studies focused on A. pleuropneumoniae infection and vaccine development, its exoproteome is still rather unexplored. By combining high-throughput mass spectrometry and immunoproteomic approaches, with our current work we provide an in-depth characterisation of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome. Label-free liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed 484 secreted proteins, of which 84 were predicted to be virulence factors and 142 to be exported via different export mechanisms. The RTX toxins ApxIIA, ApxIIIA and ApxIVA were found to be the most abundant proteins in the A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome, although ApxIVA is commonly assumed to be expressed exclusively in vivo. Immunoproteomic approaches coupled to LC-MS/MS analysis allowed to portray the immunogenic proteins within the bacterial exoproteome to identify potential vaccine candidates. Using serum pools from uninfected, acutely infected and chronically infected animals, we were able to monitor the seroconversion during disease progression. Overall, our work is expected to contribute to the understanding of the complex pathogenic mechanisms and to facilitate the discovery of potential antimicrobial agents for controlling porcine pleuropneumonia.

Project description:Bacteria can actively respond to host stress hormones (catecholamines), thereby regulate their growth, metabolism, virulence and other behaviors. This phenomenon provides new explanations of the fact that stress can influence the occurrence and development of infectious disease. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important swine respiratory pathogen which has caused great economic losses worldwide. In our previous study, it has been discovered that catecholamines can regulate the expression of a great number of genes of A. pleuropneumoniae. In this study, the effect of catecholamines on A. pleuropneumoniae growth was detected using chemically defined medium (CDM). The results showed that in CDM, serum inhibited A. pleuropneumoniae growth, while epinephrine (Epi), norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) promoted A. pleuropneumoniae growth in the CDM containing serum. The known bacterial adrenergic receptor QseC didn’t play role in this process. According to growth features after supplementation of ions and genes expression changes caused by serum, Epi, NE and DA, it was discovered that serum established iron-restricted conditions for A. pleuropneumoniae and catecholamines removed the restrictions of iron. Apo-transferrin but not holo-transferrin also inhibited the growth of A. pleuropneumoniae in CDM. Catecholamines induced growth of A. pleuropneumoniae in the CDM containing apo-transferrin. Hence transferrin was one of the components in the serum that caused growth inhibition and was used by catecholamines to facilitate growth. In addition, TonB2 of A. pleuropneumoniae played essential roles in this process. The investigations in this study indicated that catecholamines promoted A. pleuropneumoniae growth by regulating iron acquisition and metabolism, which could be important during pathogenic processes.

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the cause of porcine pleuropneumonia, a severe respiratory tract infection that is responsible for major economic losses to the swine industry. Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens encode systems known as phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). Phasevarions result from variable expression of cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases. Variable expression results in genome-wide methylation differences within a bacterial population, leading to altered expression of multiple genes via epigenetic mechanisms. Our examination of a diverse population of A. pleuropneumoniae strains determined that Type I and Type III DNA methyltransferases with the hallmarks of phase variation were present in this species. We demonstrate that phase variation is occurring in these methyltransferases, and show associations between particular Type III methyltransferase alleles and serovar. Using Pacific BioSciences Single-Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, we demonstrate the presence of the first ever characterised phase-variable, cytosine-specific Type III DNA methyltransferase. Phase variation of distinct Type III DNA methyltransferase in A. pleuropneumoniae results in the regulation of distinct phasevarions, and in multiple phenotypic differences relevant to pathobiology. Our characterisation of these newly described phasevarions in A. pleuropneumoniae will aid in the selection of stably expressed antigens, and direct and inform development of a rationally designed subunit vaccine against this major veterinary pathogen.

Project description:LuxS is an enzyme involved in the activated methyl cycle and the by-product autoinducer 2 (AI-2) was a quorum sensing signal in some species. In our previous study, the functional LuxS in AI-2 production was verified in the porcine respiratory pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Enhanced biofilm formation and reduced virulence were observed in the luxS mutant. To comprehensively understand the luxS function, in this study, the transcriptional profiles were compared between the A. pleuropneumoniae luxS mutant and its parental strain in four different growth phases using microarray. Many genes associated with infection were differentially expressed. The biofilm formation genes pgaABC in the luxS mutant were up-regulated in early exponential phase, while 8 genes associated with adhesion were down-regulated in late exponential phase. A group of genes involved in iron acquisition and metabolism were regulated in four growth phases. Further investigations on these virulence traits demonstrated that the luxS mutant showed enhanced biofilm formation and reduced adhesion ability and these effects were not due to lack of AI-2. But AI-2 could increase biofilm formation and adhesion of A. pleuropneumoniae independent of LuxS. Growth under iron restricted condition could be controlled by LuxS through AI-2 production. These results revealed pleiotropic roles of LuxS and AI-2 on A. pleuropneumoniae virulence traits.
