Project description:Upon systemic bacterial infection, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) migrate to the periphery in order to supply a sufficient number of immune cells. Although pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) reportedly mediate HSPC activation, how HSPCs detect pathogen invasion in vivo remains elusive. Bacteria use the second messenger bis-(3’-5’)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) for a variety of activities. Here we report that c-di-GMP comprehensively regulates both HSPCs and their niche cells through an innate immune sensor, STING, thereby inducing entry into the cell cycle and mobilization of HSPCs, while decreasing the number and repopulation capacity of long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs). Furthermore, we show that type I IFN acts as a downstream target of c-di-GMP to inhibit HSPC expansion in the spleen, while TGF-β1 is required for c-di-GMP-dependent splenic HSPC expansion. Our results define novel machinery underlying dynamic regulation of HSPCs and their niches during bacterial infection through c-di-GMP/STING signaling. Ten-week-old mice were intraperitoneally administered PBS or 200 nmol c-di-GMP, and CD150+ CD41- CD48- CD34- Flt3- LSK cells of pooled bone marrow from 10 mice per group were sorted 3 days later. mRNA was then extracted using RNeasy micro (Qiagen). Likewise, CD45- Ter-119- CD31- CD140a+ CD51+ MSCs and CD45- Ter119- CD31+ endothelial cells from c-di-GMP-treated or untreated mice were sorted and mRNA was extracted. cDNA was synthesized from mRNA and hybridized to gene chip Mouse60k (Agilent Technologies) and expression levels analyzed.

Project description:In the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type strain PA14, 40 genes are known to encode for diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and/or phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which modulate the intracellular pool of the nucleotide second messenger c-di-GMP. While in general, high levels of c-di-GMP drive the switch from highly motile phenotypes towards a sessile lifestyle, the different c-di-GMP modulating enzymes are responsible for smaller and in parts non-overlapping phenotypes. In this study, we sought to utilize previously recorded P. aeruginosa gene expression datasets on 414 clinical isolates to uncover transcriptional changes as a result of a high expression of genes encoding diguanylate cyclases. We demonstrate that the selection of sub-groups of clinical isolates with high versus low expression of regulatory genes served the identification of their downstream regulons. Thus, analyzing transcriptional profiles of clinical isolates with variant expression of diguanylate cyclase genes might provide a unique opportunity to bypass the problem that for many c-di-GMP modulating enzymes it is not known under which conditions their expression is activated. However, because the high c-di-GMP associated phenotypes were rapidly lost in the clinical isolates, we were unable to confirm diguanylate specific gene regulation. It is possible that the elevated c-di-GMP concentrations observed in the clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were due to a memory response, in which the bacteria maintain a certain level of c-di-GMP even after being removed from the conditions that induced the production of c-di-GMP. Further studies would be needed to determine the specific mechanisms underlying this memory response in P. aeruginosa.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium able to survive and adapt in a multitude of niches as well as thriving within many different hosts. This versatility lies within a large genome of ca 6Mbp and a tight control in the expression of thousands of genes. Among the regulatory mechanisms widely spread in bacteria, cyclic-di-GMP signaling is one which influences all levels of control. It is made by diguanylate cyclases and broken by phosphodiesterases while the intracellular level of this molecule drives phenotypic responses. The signaling involve modification of enzymes or proteins function upon c-di-GMP binding, including modifying the activity of regulators which in turn will impact the transcriptome. In P. aeruginosa, there are ca 40 genes encoding putative DGC or PDE. The combined activity of those enzymes should reflect the c-di-GMP concentration while specific phenotypic output could be correlated to a given set of dgc/pde. This notion of specificity has been addressed in several studies and different strains of P. aeruginosa. Here, we engineered a mutant library for the 41 individual dgc/pde genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1. In most cases, we observed a significant to slight variation in the global c-di-GMP pool, with essentially an impact on biofilm phenotypes including initial attachment and maturation, while very little is observed on motility which differs from previous studies. We observe that minor changes in c-di-GMP level have a drastic phenotypic impact thus supporting the idea of local vs global c-di-GMP pool. Our RNA-seq analysis indicates that all PAO1 dgc/pde genes are expressed in both planktonic and biofilm growth conditions and our work suggests that c-di-GMP networks owe to be reconstructed in one single strain and cannot be built by cross-comparison with studies in other strains.

Project description:To analyze the impact of elevated c-di-GMP concentrations in P. aeruginosa, we expressed pleD* on an inducible vector (pHERD20T) in the PAO1 wild-type strain. PleD is a DGC from Caulobacter cresentusand the pleD* construct variant encodes for a constitutively active enzyme due to four amino acid exchanges (T120N, T214A, P234H, N357Y).We aimed to analyze the cellular consequences of increased c-di-GMP levels in the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa on a global scale. We therefore grew the pleD* harboring PAO1 as well as the empty vector control PAO1 in LB medium, added arabinose (0.2%) to the medium to induce pleD* expression and harvested the cells in exponential growth phase, when the cells exhibited elevated c-di-GMP levels of about two-fold (see manuscript). We are discribing the characteristics of elevated c-di-GMP with a Multi-Omics-Dataset.

Project description:Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates many biological processes in bacteria. The genome in Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (dgc) responsible for c-di-GMP synthesis. To determine the role of c-di-GMP signaling in M. tuberculosis, the mutant strain of Δdgc was generated in the virulent H37Rv strain. We used whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the genes controlled by c-di-GMP in M. tuberculosis, providing molecular proof for the phenotypes modulated by the signaling.

Project description:Although the ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays important roles in various cellular functions including the formation of biofilm in a wide range of bacteria, its function in model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is largely elusive. In order to test this in P. syringae, we overexpressed a diguanylate cyclase (YedQ) and a phosphodiesterase (YhjH) that are originally from Escherichia coli, resulting in high and low c-di-GMP levels in P. syringae, respectively. Through performing genome-wide RNA sequencing of these two strains, we found that c-di-GMP regulates (i) fliN, fliE and flhA genes, which are associated with flagellar assembly, (ii) alg8 and alg44, which are related to exopolysaccaride biosynthesis pathway, (iii) pvdE, pvdP and pvsA genes, related to siderophore biosynthesis pathway, and (iv) sodA, which is a superoxide dismutase. In particular, we identified five genes sensitive to elevated c-di-GMP level and constructed five luciferase-based reporters that effectively respond to intracellular level of c-di-GMP in P. syringae, which can be used to measure c-di-GMP levels in vivo in the future. Based on the RNA-seq results, phenotypic assays confirmed that c-di-GMP regulated many important biological pathways in P. syringae, such as negative regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS) and motility as well as positive regulation of EPS production, siderophore production and oxidative stress resistance. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that c-di-GMP is closely related to virulence and stress response in P. syringae, suggesting that tuning its level can be a new strategy to protect plants from the attack of this pathogen in the future.

Project description:In this study, we have analysed the transcriptional profile of B. cenocepacia H111 upon artificially altering the global cellular c-di-GMP levels. A total of 111 genes was found to be differentially expressed, of which 96 genes were down-regulated when c-di-GMP concentrations were increased. The BDSF, AHL and c-di-GMP regulons overlap for the regulation of 24 genes. Intriguingly, at a high intracellular c-di-GMP level expression of the AHL synthase cepI was found to be more than 10-fold down-regulated. Among the exclusively c-di-GMP regulated genes were genes of the phenylacetate catabolic pathway and of the type III secretion system.
