This study aimed to investigate the effects of salivary histatin 5 (Hst5) on Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) biofilms in vitro and in vivo and the possible mechanisms. In in vitro experiments, P. gingivalis biomass was determined by crystal violet staining. Polymerase chain reaction, scanning electron microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to determine the Hst5 concentration. A search for potential targets was performed using transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. ...[more]

Project description:<p>Bacterial metabolism in oral biofilms is comprised of complex networks of nutritional chains and biochemical regulations. These processes involve both intraspecies and interspecies networks as well as interactions with components from host saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, and dietary intake. In a previous paper, a large salivary glycoprotein, mucin MUC5B, was suggested to promote a dental health-related phenotype in the oral type strain of <em>Streptococcus gordonii</em> DL1, by regulating bacterial adhesion and protein expression. In this study, nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics was used to examine the effects on the metabolic output of monospecies compared to dual species early biofilms of two clinical strains of oral commensal bacteria, <em>S. gordonii</em> and <em>Actinomyces naeslundii</em>, in the presence of MUC5B. The presence of <em>S. gordonii</em> increased colonization of <em>A. naeslundii</em> on salivary MUC5B, and both commensals were able to utilize MUC5B as a sole nutrient source during early biofilm formation. The metabolomes suggested that the bacteria were able to release mucin carbohydrates from oligosaccharide side chains as well as amino acids from the protein core. Synergistic effects were also seen in the dual species biofilm metabolome compared to the monospecies, indicating that <em>A. naeslundii</em> and <em>S. gordonii</em> cooperated in the degradation of salivary MUC5B. A better understanding of bacterial interactions and salivary-mediated regulation of early dental biofilm activity is meaningful for understanding oral biofilm physiology and may contribute to the development of future prevention strategies for biofilm-induced oral disease.</p>

Project description:Tissue-penetrating nanobodies as drug-delivery vehicles have shown efficacy in treating hard-to-reach and -treat diseases. The present study reports nanobodies with application potential in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), especially the antibiotic tolerant biofilms that form in TB granulomas. Using Mycobacterium marinum (Mmr) as a model pathogen, we identified the most abundant matrix proteins in cultured biofilms and granuloma biofilms from infected zebrafish, and used them as targets to produce synthetic nanobodies (sybodies). Surface-exposed proteins on Mmr biofilms were identified using a combination of in vitro cell surface biotinylation proteomics andex vivo proteomics on granulomas extracted from Mmr-infected adult zebrafish. We identified a total of 3080 and 41 mycobacterial biofilm matrix-associated proteins by in vitro and ex vivo proteomics, respectively. The molecular chaperones GroEL1 and GroEL2 were identified in both datasets, and fulfilled the criteria of ideal nanobody targets. We created sybodies against GroEL1 and GroEL2, and showed that they bind the intact in vitro and ex vivo Mmr-biofilms. Taken together, the present study reports a proof-of-concept showing that biotinylation proteomics of biofilms complemented with ex vivo proteomics of granuloma biofilms is a valuable strategy to uncover optimal nanobody targets within the biofilm matrix. Nanobody-based strategies have great potential to provide new and much-needed solutions for more effective treatment of tuberculosis, as well asother chronic biofilm infections with increased antibiotic tolerance and high risk for emerging antibiotic resistance

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is opportunistic bacteria cause’s acute otitis media (AOM) in children. It colonizes the nasopharynx in the form of biofilms, and these biofilms act as reservoir, and are vital for pneumococcal infections. The pneumococcal biofilms are regulated by LuxS/AI-2 media quorum sensing. In this study, we confirmed the role of LuxS/AI-2 for in vitro formation of biofilms, assessed the effects of the absence of LuxS/AI-2 signaling, for pneumococcal middle ear infection and identified global genes regulated by LuxS/AI-2 during formation of pneumococcal biofilms. In the cDNA-microarray analysis, 117 genes were differentially expressed in D39 luxS mutant when compared with D39 wild type. Among the 66 genes encoding putative proteins and previously characterized proteins, 60 were significantly down-regulated and 6 were significantly up-regulated. The functional annotation revealed that genes involve in DNA replication and repair, ATP synthesis, capsule biosynthesis, cell division and cell cycle, signal transduction, transcription regulation, competence, virulence, and carbohydrate metabolism were down-regulated in the absence of LuxS/AI-2.

Project description:A differential display experiment was done to compare genes expressed in salivary glands from unfed males, males fed in the presence of females and males fed in the absence of females. Possible differential bands were excised, cloned and sequenced. A macroarray study was done on these clones as probes. RNA from the salivary glands of ticks from the three conditions was labelled and hybridized. Two sets of primers were used in the differential display, and these same two were used in the labelling, so there are two platforms, corresponding to what primer pair was used. Two independent RNA isolations were done, Experiment 1 used one, 2 and 3 the other. Experiment 2 used exposure to X-ray film, while 1 and 3 used a phosphorimager plate. Two exposures of the X-ray film were found to give acceptable results, 1 and 5 min. These were averaged in the analysis. Keywords = salivary_gland Keywords = feeding Keywords = male Keywords = female

Project description:Transcription profile of Escherichia coli cells in mono-species pure biofilms was compared to that of E. coli cells in E. coli-Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dual-species biofilms. E. coli cells were separated from dual-species biofilms before total RNA extraction to eliminate possible cross hybridization from S. maltophilia transcripts. The separation method was developed by combining the use of reagent RNAlater and immuno-magnetic separation. Pure E. coli biofilms were processed with the same separation protocol before RNA extraction.

Project description:Salivary exsomal miRNAs may play important role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis. There are many studies which suggested the connection between periodontitis and systemic disease, however, the role of specific miRNA as a intersection of periontitis and diabetes are not elucidated. We suggested miR-25-3p as possible common mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and diabetes.

Project description:Biofilms have been implicated in delayed wound healing, although the mechanisms by which biofilms impair wound healing are poorly understood. Many species of bacteria produce exotoxins and exoenzymes that may inhibit healing. In addition, oxygen consumption by biofilms, as well as responding leukocytes, may impede wound healing. In this study, we used oxygen microsensors to measure oxygen transects through in vitro-cultured biofilms, biofilms formed in vivo within scabs from a diabetic (db/db) mouse model, and ex vivo human chronic wound specimens. The results show that oxygen levels within mouse scabs had steep gradients that reached minima ranging from 17-72 mmHg on live mice and 6.4-1.1 mmHg on euthanized mice. The oxygen gradients in the mouse scabs were similar to those observed for clinical isolates cultured in vitro and for human ex vivo specimens. No oxygen gradients were observed for heat-killed mouse scabs, suggesting that active metabolism by the viable bacteria and host cells contributed to the reduced oxygen partial pressure of the scabs. To characterize the metabolic activities of the bacteria in the mouse scabs, we performed transcriptomics analyses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms associated with the db/db mice wounds using Affymetrix microarrays. The results demonstrated that the bacteria expressed genes for metabolic activities associated with cell growth. Interestingly, the transcriptome results indicated that the bacteria within the wounds also experienced oxygen-limitation stress. Among the bacterial genes that were expressed in vivo were genes associated with the Anr-mediated hypoxia-stress response. Other bacterial stress response genes highly expressed in vivo were genes associated with stationary-phase growth, osmotic stress, and RpoH-mediated heat shock stress. Overall, the results support the hypothesis that bacterial biofilms in chronic wounds promote chronicity by contributing to the maintenance of localized low oxygen tensions.

Project description:Is there a universal genetically programmed defense providing tolerance to antibiotics when bacteria grow as biofilms? A comparison between biofilms of three different bacterial species by transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches uncovered no evidence of one. Single-species biofilms of three bacterial species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii) were grown in vitro for three days then challenged with respective antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, daptomycin, tigecycline) for an additional 24 h. All three microorganisms displayed reduced susceptibility in biofilms compared to planktonic cultures. Global transcriptomic profiling of gene expression comparing biofilm to planktonic and antibiotic-treated biofilm to untreated biofilm was performed. Extracellular metabolites including 18 amino acids, glucose, lactate, acetate, formate, and ethanol were measured to characterize the utilization of carbon sources between biofilms, treated biofilms, and planktonic cells. While all three bacteria exhibited a species-specific signature of stationary phase, no conserved gene, gene set, or common functional pathway could be identified that changed consistently across the three microorganisms. Across the three species, glucose consumption was increased in biofilms compared to planktonic cells and alanine and aspartic acid utilization were decreased in biofilms compared to planktonic cells. The reasons for these changes were not readily apparent in the transcriptomes. No common shift in the utilization pattern of carbon sources was discerned when comparing untreated to antibiotic-exposed biofilms. Overall, our measurements do not support the existence of a common genetic or biochemical basis for biofilm tolerance against antibiotics. Rather, there are likely myriad genes, proteins, and metabolic pathways that influence the physiological state of microorganisms in biofilms contributing to antibiotic tolerance. The Acinetobacter baumannii microarray data from the study described above is deposited here.
