Project description:Clostridium perfringens encodes at least two different quorum sensing (QS) systems, the Agr-like and LuxS, and recent studies have highlighted their importance in the regulation of toxin production and virulence. The role of QS in the pathogenesis of necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultry and the regulation of NetB, the key toxin involved, has not yet been investigated. We have generated isogenic agrB-null and complemented strains from parent CP1, and demonstrated that the virulence of the agrB-null mutant was strongly attenuated in a chicken NE model system, and restored by complementation. The production of NetB, a key NE-associated toxin, was dramatically reduced in the agrB mutant at both the transcriptional and protein level, though not in a luxS mutant. Transwell assays confirmed that the Agr-like QS system controls NetB production through a diffusible signal. Global gene expression analysis of the agrB mutant identified additional genes modulated by Agr-like QS, including operons related to phospholipid metabolism and adherence, which may also play a role in NE pathogenesis. This study provides the first evidence that the Agr-like QS system is critical for NE pathogenesis, and identifies a number of Agr-regulated genes, most notably the NetB toxin, that are potentially involved in mediating its effects. The Agr-like QS system thus may serve as a target for developing novel interventions to prevent NE in chickens.

Project description:Purpose: RNA-Seq has become a powerful tool for investigating transcriptional profiles in gene expression analysis, which would help to reveal the molecular mechanism of Clostridium perfringens type C infecting the piglets. In this study, we analyzed miRNA profiles of the ileum of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type C. Methods: 30 normal 7-day-old piglets (Y x L), without infecting Clostridium perfringens type C, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were selected as experimental subjects. 25 piglets were randomly selected as the experimental group, which were disposed once a day for 5 days. Each piglet was dosed with 1 ml of bouillon culture-medium inoculated Clostridium perfringens type C at 37℃ for 16h, which approximate to 1 x10e9 CFU per ml. Then, 5 piglets were randomly selected as the control group (IC), which were taken the equal volume medium for 5 days.Based on total diarrhea scores, 25 piglets were ranked from high to low. The top and last five piglet were considered as sensitive group (IS) and resistant group (IR), respectively. Finally, ileum were collected and sequenced for miRNA. Result: 53 differentially expressed miRNAs were found. KEGG pathway analysis for target genes revealed that these miRNAs were involved in ErbB signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway. The expression correlation analysis between miRNAs and target genes revealed that the expression of miR-7134-5p had negative correlation with target NFATC4, miR-500 had negative correlation with target ELK1, HSPA2 and IL7R, and miR-92b-3p had negative correlation with target CLCF1 in ileum of IR vs IS group, suggesting that miR-7134-5p targeting to NFATC4, miR-500 targeting to ELK1, HSPA2 and IL7R, and miR-92b-3p targeting to CLCF1 were probably involved in piglet resisting C. perfringens type C. Conclusions: The results will provide value resources for better understanding of the genetic basis of C. perfringens type C resistance in piglet and lays a new foundation for identifying novel markers of C. perfringens type C resistance

Project description:Purpose: RNA-Seq has become a powerful tool for investigating transcriptional profiles in gene expression analysis, which would help to reveal the molecular mechanism of Clostridium perfringens type C infecting the piglets. In this study, we analyzed miRNA profiles of the spleen of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type C. Methods: 30 normal 7-day-old piglets (Y x L), without infecting Clostridium perfringens type C, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were selected as experimental subjects. 25 piglets were randomly selected as the experimental group, which were disposed once a day for 5 days. Each piglet was dosed with 1 ml of bouillon culture-medium inoculated Clostridium perfringens type C at 37℃ for 16h, which approximate to 1 x109 CFU per ml. Then, 5 piglets were randomly selected as the control group (SC), which were taken the equal volume medium for 5 days.Based on total diarrhea scores, 25 piglets were ranked from high to low. The top and last five piglet were considered as sensitive group (SS) and resistant group (SR), respectively. Finally, spleen were collected and sequenced for miRNA. Result: 88 differentially expressed miRNAs were found. KEGG pathway analysis for target genes revealed that these miRNAs were involved in MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and ECM-receptor interaction. And 4 miRNAs (miR-133b, miR-532-3p, miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p) of closely related to piglets resistance to C. perfringens type C were obtained. The expression correlation analysis between these miRNAs and target genes revealed that the expression of miR-133b and miR-532-3p had negative correlation with their target NFATC4, miR-339-5p had negative correlation with target HTRA3, and miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p had negative correlation with target TNFAIP8L2 in spleen, suggesting that miR-133b and miR-532-3p targeting to NFATC4, miR-339-5p targeting to HTRA3, and miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p targeting to TNFAIP8L2 were probably involved in piglet resisting C. perfringens type C. Conclusions:The results will provide value resources for better understanding of the genetic basis of C. perfringens type C resistance in piglet and lays a new foundation for identifying novel markers of C. perfringens type C resistance.

In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome profiles of the spleen of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type Cens type C. Methods: 30 normal 7-day-old piglets (Y x L), without infecting Clostridium perfringens type C, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were selected as experimental subjects. 25 piglets were randomly selected as the experimental group, which were disposed once a day for 5 days.

The top and last five piglet were considered as sensitive group (SS) and resistant group (SR), respectively. Finally, spleen were collected and sequenced for lncRNA and mRNA. Results: RNA libraries constructed from spleen of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type C were sequenced. A total of 1,450,292,484 clean reads were generated. Among them, 2056 novel lncRNA transcripts corresponding to 1561 lncRNA genes were identified, including 1811 intergenic lncRNAs and 245 anti-sense lncRNAs. The identified spleen lncRNAs shared some characteristics, such as fewer exons and shorter length, with the lncRNAs in other animal. Notably, in pairwise comparisons between the libraries of spleen tissue at the different group, a total of 247 lncRNA and 2170 mRNA were differentially expressed (P < 0.05). Function analyses indicated that these differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs play roles in defensing Clostridium perfringens type C, which were enriched in immune-related biological processes, such as the antigen processing and presentation, TNF signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusions: This study provides the information of spleen-related lncRNAs in swine diarrhea with Clostridium perfringens type C. We also analyzed all lncRNA’s genomic feature and expression. Bioinformatic analysis indicates that some lncRNAs participated in important biological processes associated with defeasing Clostridium perfringens type C, such as antigen processing and presentation, the MHC protein complex and regulation of autophagy.

Project description:ReeS, previously named as CPE1512, was originally annotated as the only hybrid sensor histidine kinase/response regulator in Clostridium perfringens. Further evidence suggests that ReeS is more likely to function as an orphan sensor histidine kinase. A reeS deletion mutant was constructed and the transcriptome analysed using microarrays. Total RNA was isolated from the reeS mutant and the wild-type control cells during exponential phase growth. Gene expression levels were compared between the reeS mutant and wild-type strain 13

Project description:Clostridium perfringens type A is a common source of food poisoning in humans. Vegetative cells sporulate in the small intestinal tract and produce a major pathogenic factor, C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) during sporulation. Although sporulation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of food poisoning, the mechanisms to induce in vivo sporulation remain unclear. Bile salts had been identified to mediate sporulation, and we have confirmed deoxycholate (DCA)-induced sporulation in C. perfringens strain NCTC8239 co-cultured with human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells. In this study, we performed global transcriptome analysis of strain NCTC8239 to elucidate the mechanism to induce sporulation by DCA.
