Project description:In the intracellular pathogen Brucella spp., the activation of the stringent response, a global regulatory network providing rapid adaptation to a variety of growth-affecting stress conditions such as nutrient deficiency, is essential for replication in the host. A single, bi-functional enzyme Rsh catalyzes synthesis and hydrolysis of the alarmone (p)ppGpp, responsible for differential gene expression under stringent conditions. cDNA microarray analysis allowed characterization of the transcriptional profiles of the B. suis 1330 wild-type and rsh mutant in a synthetic minimal medium, partially mimicking the nutrient-poor environment of the intramacrophagic vacuole. A total of 379 genes (11.6% of the genome) were differentially expressed in a rsh-dependent manner, of which 52% were up-regulated and 48% were down-regulated. The pleiotropic character of the response was confirmed, as the genes encoded factors belonging to various functional groups, comprising an important number of transcriptional regulators, cell envelope proteins, stress factors, transport systems, and energy metabolism proteins. Several virulence genes were under the positive control of (p)ppGpp. Methionine was the only amino acid whose biosynthesis was absolutely dependent on stringent response in B. suis. The study illustrated the complexity of the processes involved in adaptation to nutrient starvation, and contributed to a better understanding of the correlation between stringent response and Brucella virulence. Most interestingly, it clearly indicated (p)ppGpp-dependent cross-talk between at least three stress responses playing a central role in Brucella adaptation to the host: nutrient, oxidative, and low-oxygen stress.

Two-condition experiment, wild-type against rsh mutant. Biological replicates: 4 wild-type, 4 rsh mutant, independently grown in minimal medium (under nutrient starvation condition) and harvested. One replicate per array. Please note that Channel 1 (Cy3) on each hybridization was a universal reference (Uref) used as a reference point to merge two (2 channel arrays) into a virtual 2 channel array with wild-type versus rsh mutant.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a B. suis 1330 regA mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The two-component system RegBA of Brucella suis plays a central role in the control of respiratory systems adapted to oxygen deficiency. The mutant strain is affected in long-term persistence in vitro (this study) and in chronic infection in vivo (Abdou, E et al. 2013, Infect.Immun. 81: 2053-61). Using an original “in vitro model of persistence”, we compare large-scale transcriptome of the wild-type and ∆regA strains to identify the RegA-regulon potentially involved in the set-up of the persistence state.

Project description:To explore the role of Brucella BI-1 in Brucella suis S2, we constructed the Brucella BI-1 deletion mutant strain and its complementary strain. We then determined the effect of Brucella BI-1 deletion on the physiological characteristics of Brucella suis S2 and revealed them via integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Brucella BI-1 deletion altered the membrane properties of Brucella suis S2 and decreased its resistance to acidic pH, H2O2, polymyxin B, and lincomycin. Additionally, deleting Brucella BI-1 led to defective growth, cell division, and viability in Brucella suis S2. In conclusion, our results revealed that Brucella BI-1 is a bacterial cytoprotective protein involved in membrane homeostasis, cell division, and stress resistance in Brucella suis S2.

Project description:Brucella suis infects macrophages and dendritic cells. Wild boars act as reservoirs and carriers of Brucella suis biovar 2, and there is evidence that wild boar can be the main source of infection for domestic pigs through the venereal route. Transmission through this route could be an important path for disesease dissemination. The result from this study will contribute to the overall understanding of the molecular pathogenic mechanisms involved during Brucella suis infection in European wild boar. Experiment Overall Design: In this study we preliminarily characterized differential gene expression in European wild boar naturally infected with Brucella suis biovar 2 using Microarray hybridization and Real Time RT-PCR analysis. Since Brucella suis acts by infecting macrophages, we used spleen cells to analyze the gene expression response to Brucella suis infection.
