Project description:Movement of food-borne pathogens on moist surfaces enables them to migrate towards more favorable niches and facilitate their survival for extended periods of time. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium mutants defective in OPG synthesis are unable to exhibit motility on moist surfaces (swarming) however their mobility in liquid (swim motility) remains unaffected. In order to understand the role of OPG in swarm motility, transcriptomic analysis was performed using cells growing on a moist agar surface. In the opgGH-deletion mutant, lack of OPG significantly altered transcription of 1039 genes out of total 4712 genes (22%). Introduction of a plasmid borne copy of opgGH into the opgGH-deletion mutant restored normal expression of all but 30 genes, indicating a wide-range influence of OPG on gene expression under the swarm motility condition. Major pathways that were differentially-expressed in opgGH mutants were motility, virulence and invasion, and genes related to the secondary messenger molecule, cyclic di-GMP. These observations provide insights and help explain the pleiotropic nature of OPG mutants such as sub-optimal virulence and competitive organ colonization in mice, biofilm formation, and sensitivity towards detergent stress.

Project description:The puropose of this experiment was to identify gene expression changes that result from 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine induced DNA demethylation of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells. The gene expression profiles of untreated Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells were compared to the gene expression profiles of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells that were treated for 5 passages with a low dose of 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (0.1uM). Five chip study. For these experiments, microarray was carried out on untreated (control) Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells (3 biological replicates), and microarray was also carried out on Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells treated with 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (2 biological replicates).

Project description:A resident of animal intestines, Proteus mirabilis is a major cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and can cause recurrent, persistent infections. Swarming, which is a collective behavior that promotes centimeter-scale population migration, is implicated in colonization of bladders and kidneys. A regulatory factor of swarming is kin recognition, which involves the transfer of a self-identity protein from one cell into a physically adjacent neighboring cell. However, how kin recognition regulates swarming was previously unclear. We have now shown a mechanism linking kin recognition, swarm migration, and antibiotics tolerance: cells induce a transient antibiotics-tolerant, persister-like state in adjacent non-identical cells which in turn prevents non-identical cells from continuing to participate in collective swarming. These affected non-identical cells continue to exhibit large-scale gene expression suggesting an active shift into a different expression state. These data provide two key insights for the field. First, kin recognition can be a regulatory mechanism that acts with spatial and temporal precision. Second, induction into an antibiotics-tolerant state, instead of occurring stochastically, can be physically and spatially regulated by neighboring cells. These insights highlight the importance of further developing four-dimensional (time and X-, Y-, Z-axes) model systems for interrogating cell-cell signaling and control in microbial populations.

Project description:beta-glucan induced glycolysis in HIF-1 depedent manner. We reported that beta-glucan injection in mice led to upregulated glycolysis. HIF-1a plays a major role in this process. Mice receives beta-glucan via ip for 4 days. Splenocytes were isolated for RNA sequencing.

Project description:Spirochetes are long, thin, motile, helical or flat wave bacteria that are unique among the prokaryotes by having flagella or axial filaments confined to an internal periplasmic space. These flagella are complex organelles that can play major roles in bacterial pathogenicity and are used as propellers allowing bacteria to move through liquids, viscous environments or along surfaces. While most bacteria species use transcriptional regulatory cascades to regulate the synthesis and assembly of their flagella, spirochetes employ an unusual post-transcriptional mechanism. Using next generation sequencing, we characterized a natural mutant of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia hermsii lacking the flagellar export apparatus protein FliH. The mutant was non-motile, uncoiled and straight compared to the wild-type spirochetes. The B. hermsii fliH mutant produced only a residual amount of the major flagellin protein FlaB, which was correlated with a reduced number of periplasmic flagella. The amounts of flaB transcript were comparable in the fliH mutant and the wild-type strain. The synthesis of FlaB, the motility and the infectivity of the fliH mutant were rescued by trans-complementation. This report reveals a new function for FliH, and we propose that this regulator of the flagellar export apparatus influences the post-transcriptional processing of the flagella, motility and virulence of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia hermsii. Spirochetes are bacteria characterized in part by rotating periplasmic flagella that impart their flat-wave morphology and motility. While other bacteria rely on a transcriptional cascade to regulate the expression of motility genes, spirochetes employ posttranscriptional mechanism(s) that are only partially known. In the present study, we characterize a non-motile mutant of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia hermsii that was straight, non-motile and deficient in flagella. We used next generation DNA sequencing of the mutant’s genome, which when compared to the wild-type genome identified a 142 bp deletion in the chromosomal gene encoding the flagellar export apparatus protein FliH. Immunoblot and transcriptome analyses showed that the mutant phenotype was linked to the posttranscriptional deficiency in the synthesis of the major flagellar filament core protein FlaB. The turnover of the residual pool of FlaB produced by the fliH mutant was comparable to the wild-type spirochete while the amount of FlaA was similar to the wild-type level. The non-motile mutant was not infectious in mice and its inoculation did not induce an antibody response. Trans-complementation of the mutant with an intact fliH gene restored the synthesis of FlaB, a normal morphology, motility and infectivity in mice. Therefore, we propose that the flagellar export apparatus protein regulates motility of B. hermsii at the posttranscriptional level by influencing the synthesis of FlaB.
