Project description:The Moutan Cortex Radicis (MCR) has been used as an analgesic, sedative and anti-inflammatory agent. This study investigated the changes in gene expression by MCR treatment when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and the gene expression changes by the MCR when challenged with LPS using a microarray chip.

Complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli C - old model organism with a new application in biofilm research

Project description:Escherichia coli strain C is the last of five E. coli strains (C, K12, B, W, Crooks) designated as safe for laboratory purposes whose genome has not been sequenced. We found that E. coli C forms more robust biofilms than the other four laboratory strains. Here we present the complete genomic sequence of this strain in which we utilized high resolution optical mapping to confirm a large inversion in comparison to other strains. DNA sequence comparison revealed the absence of several genes involved in biofilm formation, such as antigen 43, waaSBOJYZUL for LPS synthesis, and cpsB for curli synthesis. The main difference affecting biofilm formation is the presence of an IS3-like insertion sequence in front of the carbon storage regulator csrA gene. This insertion is located 86 bp upstream of the csrA start codon inside the -35 region of P4 promoter and blocks the transcription from the sigma32 and sigma70 promoters P1-P3 located further upstream. Analysis of gene expression profiles in planktonic and biofilm attached cells by the RNAseq method allows better understanding of this regulatory pathway in E. coli.

RpoS acts as a global repressor of virulence gene expression in Escherichia coli O104:H4 and enteroaggregative E. coli

Project description:In 2011, in Germany, Escherichia coli O104:H4 caused the enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) outbreak with the highest incidence rate of hemolytic uremic syndrome. This pathogen carries an exceptionally potent combination of EHEC- and enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC)-specific virulence factors. Here, we identified an E. coli O104:H4 isolate that carried a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the start codon (ATG>ATA) of rpoS, encoding the alternative sigma factor S. The rpoS ATG>ATA SNP was associated with enhanced EAEC-specific virulence gene expression. Deletion of rpoS in E. coli O104:H4 Dstx2 and typical EAEC resulted in a similar effect. Both rpoS ATG>ATA and DrpoS strains exhibited stronger virulence-related phenotypes in comparison to wild type. Using promoter-reporter gene fusions, we demonstrated that wild-type RpoS repressed aggR, encoding the main regulator of EAEC virulence. In summary, our work demonstrates that RpoS acts as a global repressor of E. coli O104:H4 virulence, primarily through an AggR-dependent mechanism.
