The C. difficile clnRAB operon initiates adaptations to the host environment in response to LL-37

Project description:Clostridium difficile is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes severe diarrheal disease. Though C. difficile is known to inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract, the mechanisms that allow this pathogen to adapt to the intestine and survive host defenses are not known. In this work, we investigated the response of C. difficile to the host defense peptide, LL-37, to determine the mechanisms underlying host adaptation and survival. Expression analyses revealed a previously unknown locus, which we named clnRAB, that is highly induced by LL-37 and acts as a global regulator of gene expression in C. difficile. Mutant analyses indicate that ClnRAB is a novel regulatory system that senses LL-37 as a host signal to regulate adaptation to the intestinal environment.

Proteomic adaptation of Streptococcus pneumoniae to the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37

Project description:Secreted antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an important part of the human innate immune system and prevent local and systemic infections by inhibiting bacterial growth in a concentration dependent manner. In the respiratory tract, the cationic peptide LL-37 is one of the most abundant AMPs and capable of building pore complexes in usually negatively charged bacterial membranes, leading to destruction of bacteria. However, adaptation mechanisms of several pathogens to LL-37 are already described and are known to weaken the antimicrobial effect of the AMP, for instance, by repulsion, export or degradation of the peptide. This study examines proteome wide changes in Streptococcus pneumoniae D39, the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, in response to physiological concentrations of LL-37 by high resolution mass spectrometry. Our data indicate that pneumococci may use some of the known adaptation mechanisms to reduce the effect of LL-37 on their physiology, too. Additionally, several proteins seem to be involved in resistance to AMPs which have not been related to this process before, such as the teichoic acid flippase TacF (SPD_1128). Understanding colonization and infection relevant adaptations of the pneumococcus to AMPs, especially LL-37, could finally uncover new drug targets to weaken the burden of this widespread pathogen.

Comparative analysis of gene expression in response to LL-37 treatment

Project description:To identify the potential LL-37-responsed genes, we treated cells with or without LL-37 and their correspondent transcriptional profiles were compared. Total 104 significant genes were identified. Among them, 70 genes are upregulated in repsonse to LL-37 while 34 genes are downregulated in comparison with the control cells. LL-37 responsed gene was measured after 3 h growth in YPD followed by 30 min of incubation in the presence of 5 ug/ml LL-37 in RPMI. Two batches of five independent experiments were performed.

The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37 promotes the growth of the pulmonary pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus contributes to invasive and allergic pulmonary disease in immunocompromised individuals. The pulmonary mucus of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients displays elevated levels of the pleiotropic cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the aim of this work was to assess the effect of LL-37 on the growth A. fumigatus. Exposure of A. fumigatus conidia to high concentrations of intact LL-37 (100 μg/ml) for 24 hours had a positive effect on growth (277.45 ± 22.59% (p < 0.01)) whereas scrambled LL-37 (76.45 ± 7.46%) did not. Exposure of 24 hour pre-formed mycelium to 5 μg/ml LL-37 for 48 hours increased hyphal wet weight significantly (4.37 ± 0.23 g, p < 0.001) compared to the control (2.67 ± 0.05 g). Amino acid leakage from mycelium was observed in the presence of LL-37 and gliotoxin secretion was increased at 24 hours from LL-37 exposed hyphae (169.1 ± 6.36 ng/mg hyphae, p < 0.05) compared to the control (102 ± 18.81 ng/mg hyphae). Quantitative proteomic analysis of 24 hour LL-37 treated hyphae revealed an increase in the abundance of proteins associated with growth (eIF-5A (16.3 fold increased), tissue degradation (aspartic endopeptidase (4.7 fold increased)) and allergic reactions (Asp F13 (10 fold increased)). By 48 hours there was an increase in proteins indicative of cellular stress (glutathione peroxidase (9 fold increased)), growth (eIF-5A (6 fold increased), and virulence (ribonuclease mitogillin (3.7 fold increased). These results indicate that LL-37 stimulates A. fumigatus growth and this may result in increased fungal growth and secretion of toxins in the lungs of CF patients.

Transcriptional response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 to human host defense peptide LL-37

Project description:In this experiment the transcriptional response of the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards physiological concentrations of the major human host defense peptide LL-37 was investigated using microarrays. To this aim, three independent cultures of P. aeruginosa PAO1 were grown until mid-log phase in Mueller-Hinton broth and subsequently incubated with either sublethal LL-37 concencentrations (20 M-5g/ml) or without peptide for 2 h at 37 M-0C following RNA extraction and microarray analysis.
