Project description:The formation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms contributes to persistent contamination in food processing facilities. A microarray comparison of L. monocytogenes between the transcriptome of the strong biofilm forming strain (Bfms) Scott A and the weak biofilm forming (Bfmw) strain F2365 was conducted to identify genes potentially involved in biofilm formation. Among 951 genes with significant difference in expression between the two strains, a GntR-family response regulator encoding gene (LMOf2365_0414), designated lbrA, was found to be highly expressed in Scott A relative to F2365. A Scott A lbrA-deletion mutant, designated AW3, formed biofilm to a much lesser extent as compared to the parent strain by a rapid attachment assay and scanning electron microscopy. Complementation with lbrA from Scott A restored the Bfms phenotype in the AW3 derivative. A second microarray assessment using the lbrA deletion mutant AW3 and the wild type Scott A revealed a total of 304 genes with expression significantly different between the two strains, indicating the potential regulatory role of LbrA in L. monocytogenes. A cloned copy of Scott A lbrA was unable to confer enhanced biofilm forming potential in F2365, suggesting that additional factors contributed to weak biofilm formation by F2365. Findings from the study may lead to new strategies to modulate biofilm formation. Two comparisons were performed between 1) strong biofilm former Listeria monocytogenes strain ScottA versus weak biofilm former Listeria monocytogenes strain F2365; 2) Listeria monocytogenes ScottA LbrA deletion mutant strain versus Listeria monocytogenes ScottA. Four replicates were loaded for the first comparison and two replicates were loaded for the second comparison.

Project description:Full title: Probing the pan genome of a foodborne bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes: Implications for its niche adaptation, pathogenesis, and evolution Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterial pathogen well known for adaptability to diverse environmental and host niches, and a high fatality rate among infected, immuno-compromised individuals. Three genetic lineages have been identified within this species. Strains of genetic lineages I and II account for more than ninety percent of foodborne disease outbreaks worldwide, whereas strains from genetic lineage III are rarely implicated in human infectious for unknown, yet intriguing, reasons. Here we have probed the genomic diversity of 26 L. monocytogenes strains using both whole-genome sequences and a novel 385,000 probe pan-genome microarray, fully tiling the genomes of 20 representative strains. Using these methods to identify genes highly conserved in lineages I and II but rare in lineage III, we have identified 86 genes and 8 small RNAs that play roles in bacterial stress resistance, pathogenicity, and niche, potentially explaining the predominance of L. monocytogenes lineages I and II in foodborne disease outbreaks. Extending gene content analysis to all lineages revealed a L. monocytogenes core genome of approximately 2,350 genes (80% of each individual genome) and a pan-genomic reservoir of >4,000 unique genes. Combined gene content data from both sequences and arrays was used to reconstruct an informative phylogeny for the L. monocytogenes species that confirms three distinct lineages and describes the relationship of 9 new lineage III genomes. Comparative analysis of 18 fully sequenced L. monocytogenes lineage I and II genomes shows a high level of genomic conservation and synteny, indicative of a closed pan-genome, with moderate domain shuffling and sequence drift associated with bacteriophages is present in all lineages. In contrast with lineages I and II, notable genomic diversity and characteristics of an open pan-genome were observed in the lineage III genomes, including many strain-specific genes and a more complex conservation pattern. This indicates that the L. monocytogenes pan-genome has not yet been fully sampled by genome sequencing, and additional sequencing of lineage III genomes is necessary to survey the full diversity of this intriguing species and reveal its mechanisms for adaptability and virulence.

Project description:These studies were designed to examine the transcription of Listeria monocytogenes strains 10403S and LO28 during intracellular replication in mammalian macrophages. Duplicate WT Listeria monocytogenes (strains 10403S and LO28) were used to infect mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Bacterial RNA was harvested at 4 hours post-infection.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes causes severe foodborne illness in pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. After the intestinal phase of infection, the liver plays a central role in the clearance of this pathogen through its important functions in immunity. However, recent evidence suggests that subpopulations of L. monocytogenes may escape eradication after prolonged infection of hepatocytes, by entering a persistence phase in vacuoles. Here, we examine whether this long-term infection alters hepatocyte defense pathways, which may be instrumental for bacterial persistence. We first established models of Listeria infection in human hepatocyte cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 and in primary mouse hepatocytes (PMH). In these cells, Listeria efficiently enters the persistence stage after a 3-day infection, while inducing a type I (PMH) or type I/III (HepG2) or no (Huh7) interferon response. RNA-seq analysis identified a common signature of long-term Listeria infection on the hepatocyte transcriptome, characterized by overexpression of a set of genes involved in antiviral immunity and under-expression of many acute phase protein (APP) genes, particularly involved in the complement and coagulation systems. The decrease in APP transcript amounts correlated with lower protein abundance in the secretome of infected cells, as shown by proteomics, and also occurred in the presence of APP inducers (IL-6 or IL-1b). The results also suggest that long-term Listeria infection affects lipid metabolism pathways. Collectively, these results reveal that long-term infection with L. monocytogenes profoundly deregulates the innate immune functions of hepatocytes, which could generate an environment favorable to the establishment of persistent infection.

Project description:Several Toll-like receptors are activated by Listeria monocytogenes infection, resulting in the activation of MyD88 dependent signaling pathway. However, the negative role of MyD88 in gene expresson is unclear. To address this, we performed microarray analysis of mRNAs from WT or MyD88-/- peritoneal macrophages infected with Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:A previously described low-fitness, high stress-resistant, variant of Listeria monocytogenes LO28 WT was subjected to an experimental evolution regime, selecting (in two parallel lines) for increased fitness in unstressed conditions. Evolved variants with increased fitness reverted to WT-like stress resistance. Whole genome sequencing and proteomics were used to identify differences between the ancestral and evolved strains.

Project description:This dataset contains spectral information of protein N-terminal peptides isolated from Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e, a bacterial model organism and human pathogen. When mapped onto the Listeria genome these peptides indicate the exact location of translation initiation sites (TIS). The large majority of the identified TIS corresponded to start sites of predicted open reading frames (ORFs), however, a significant fraction of the identified TIS indicated deviations from the current genome annotation. The latter include primarily TIS inside the sequence of predicted ORFs or TIS that delineate the start position of novel ORFs.
