Project description:Faecal microbiota transplant as treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection

Project description:The intestines house a diverse microbiota that must compete for nutrients to survive, but the specific limiting nutrients that control pathogen colonization are not clearly defined. Clostridioides difficile colonization typically requires prior disruption of the microbiota, suggesting that outcompeting commensals for resources is key in establishing C. difficile infection (CDI). The immune protein calprotectin (CP) is released into the gut lumen during CDI to chelate zinc (Zn) and other essential nutrient metals. Yet, the impact of Zn limitation on C. difficile colonization is unknown. To define C. difficile responses to Zn limitation, we performed RNA sequencing on C. difficile exposed to CP. In media with CP, C. difficile upregulated genes involved in metal homeostasis and amino acid metabolism.

Project description:The obligate anaerobic, enteric pathogen Clostridioides difficile persists in the intestinal tract by forming antibiotic resistant endospores that contribute to relapsing and recurrent infections. Despite the importance of sporulation for C. difficile pathogenesis, environmental cues, and molecular mechanisms regulating sporulation initiation remain ill defined. Here, using RIL-seq to capture the Hfq-dependent RNA-RNA interactome, we discovered a network of small RNAs that bind to mRNAs encoding sporulation-related genes. We show that two of these small RNAs, SpoX and SpoY, regulate translation of the master regulator of sporulation, Spo0A, in an opposing manner, which ultimately leads to altered sporulation rates. Infection of antibiotic-treated mice with SpoX and SpoY deletion mutants revealed a global effect on gut colonization and intestinal sporulation. Our work uncovers an elaborate RNA-RNA interactome controlling the physiology and virulence of C. difficile and identifies a complex post-transcriptional layer in the regulation of spore formation in this important human pathogen.

Project description:The gut microbiome engenders colonization resistance against the diarrheal pathogen Clostridioides difficile but the molecular basis of this colonization resistance is incompletely understood. A prominent class of gut microbiome-produced metabolites important for colonization resistance against C. difficile is short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In particular, one SCFA (butyrate) decreases the fitness of C. difficile in vitro and is correlated with C. difficile-inhospitable gut environments, both in mice and in humans. Here, we demonstrate that butyrate-dependent growth inhibition in C. difficile occurs under conditions where C. difficile also produces butyrate as a metabolic end product. Furthermore, we show that exogenous butyrate is internalized into C. difficile cells and is incorporated into intracellular CoA pools where it is metabolized in a reverse (energetically unfavorable) direction to crotonyl-CoA and (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and/or 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. This internalization of butyrate and reverse metabolic flow of butyrogenic pathway(s) in C. difficile coincides with alterations in toxin release and sporulation. Together, this work highlights butyrate as a marker of a C. difficile inhospitable environment to which C. difficile responds by releasing its diarrheagenic toxins and producing environmentally-resistant spores necessary for transmission between hosts. These findings provide foundational data for understanding the molecular and genetic basis of how C. difficile growth is inhibited by butyrate and how butyrate alters C. difficile virulence in the face of a highly competitive and dynamic gut environment.
