A vaginal tract signal detected by the GBS SaeRS system elicits transcriptomic changes and enhances murine colonization.

Project description:Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) can colonize the human vaginal tract leading to both superficial and serious infections in adults and neonates. To study bacterial colonization of the reproductive tract in a mammalian system, we employed a murine vaginal carriage model. Using RNASeq, the transcriptome of GBS growing in vivo during vaginal carriage was determined. Over one-quarter of the genes in GBS were found to be differentially regulated during in vivo colonization as compared to laboratory cultures. A two-component system (TCS) homologous to the staphylococcal virulence regulator SaeRS was identified as being up-regulated in vivo. One of the SaeRS targets, pbsP, a proposed GBS vaccine candidate, was shown to be important for colonization of the vaginal tract. A component of vaginal lavage fluid acted as a signal to turn on pbsP expression via SaeRS. These data demonstrate the ability to quantify RNA expression directly from the murine vaginal tract and identify novel genes involved in vaginal colonization by GBS. They also provide more information about the regulation of an important virulence and colonization factor of GBS, pbsP, by the TCS SaeRS.

Global Expression of Molecular Transporters in the Human Vaginal Tract

Project description:Pre-exposure chemoprophylaxis using antiretroviral agents is a promising strategy for the prevention of sexual HIV transmission in women. Molecular transporters in the human vaginal tract may play a pivotal role in determining drug disposition and, consequently, pharmacodynamic outcomes in these efforts. Little is known, however, on the expression of these transporters in vaginal tissues, representing a critical knowledge gap. Our study analyzed the genome-wide transcriptome in 44 vaginal tissue samples from 6 reproductive-age women undergoing gynecologic surgeries. The genome-wide transcriptome in 44 vaginal tissue samples from 6 reproductive-age women (20-56 years old) undergoing gynecologic surgeries was measured.

Staphylococcus aureus induces a muted host response in human blood that blunts the recruitment of neutrophils

Project description:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen chief amongst bloodstream infecting pathogens. MRSA produces an array of human specific virulence factors that may contribute to immune suppression. Here, we defined the response of primary human phagocytes to infection with MRSA using RNA-Seq. We found that the overall transcriptional response to MRSA was weak both in the number of genes and the magnitude of response. Using an ex vivo bacteremia model with fresh human blood, we found that infection with live MRSA resulted in the down-regulation of genes related to innate immune response, and cytokine and chemokine signaling. This muted transcriptional response was conserved across diverse S. aureus clones but absent in heat-killed MRSA or blood infected with live Staphylococcus epidermidis. Importantly, the muted signature was also present in patients with S. aureus bacteremia. We next identified the master regulator SaeRS and the SaeRS-regulated pore-forming toxins as key mediators of transcriptional suppression. The impaired chemokine and cytokine responses were reflected by circulating protein levels in the plasma. MRSA elicits a soluble milieu that is restrictive in the recruitment of human neutrophils compared to strains lacking saeRS. Thus, MRSA blunts the inflammatory response resulting in impaired neutrophil recruitment, which could promote the survival of S. aureus during invasive infection.
