Project description:We report a study conducted to investigate the variation on gene expression of the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus upon co-cultivation with the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study was conducted by investigating the gene expression variation at different time points (45, 90 and 180 minutes after co-incubation). As control, we used data obtained by cultivating the fungus either without bacteria, or with heat-inactivated Pseudomonas.

Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component LPS were investigated. Therefore DCs of four independent donors were harvested after 6 and 12 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus and C. albicans stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control. Stimulation with LPS induced a differential regulation of 2793 and 2863 genes after 6 /12h, while confrontation with A. fumigatus and C. albicans resulted in 743/1076 and 1729/974 differentially regulated genes, respectively. Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) was identified as the only transcription factor that was down-regulated in DCs by both fungi but induced by stimulation with LPS. Human DCs were generated from 4 independent, healthy blood donors. moDCs were either left untreated or co-cultivated with Aspergillus fumigatus 46645 germ tubes or Candida albicans SC5314 (MOI1) and or LPS (1µg/ml) for 6h.

Project description:Individuals with cystic fibrosis are susceptible to co-infection by Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, however P. aeruginosa eventually predominates as the primary pathogen. Several factors are likely to facilitate P. aeruginosa colonization in the airways, including alterations to the microbial environment. In this study, significant growth proliferation was observed in P. aeruginosa when the bacteria were exposed to culture filtrates produced by A. fumigatus in a nitrate-rich, nutrient-poor liquid broth, Czapek-Dox. Proteomic analysis of the A. fumigatus culture filtrate identified a significant number of environment-altering proteases and peptidases, which may contribute to the growth promoting effect observed when P. aeruginosa is exposed to this culture filtrate. These findings offer insights into the determinants that contribute to P. aeruginosa proliferation in the presence of A. fumigatus.

Project description:The airways of cystic fibrosis patients are chronically colonized by a diverse range of microbial pathogens, the composition of which changes throughout life Alteration to the pulmonary environment caused by inter-microbial interactions and pathogen-host interactions influence the type of microbes that can engage in sustained infection. The opportunistic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality amongst individuals with cystic fibrosis and it is estimated that 60 – 80 % of cystic fibrosis patients experience chronic P. aeruginosa infection by the age of 20 years Aspergillus fumigatus is the most prevalent fungal pathogen isolated from cystic fibrosis airways, affecting up to 58% of patients. It is the causative agent of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a hypersensitivity disorder resulting from the inhalation of fungal conidia. Although co-colonization of the cystic fibrosis airways by P. aeruginosa and A. fumigatus is rare (3.1 – 15.8 %) disease prognosis is poor when both are present. However, sequential infection is more common. It has recently been suggested that A. fumigatus is more prevalent in juvenile cystic fibrosis patients that has been initially reported due to inconsistencies in the culture methods used to detect A. fumigatus. Despite the prevalence and persistence of A. fumigatus, P. aeruginosa predominates as the primary pathogen in the cystic fibrosis lung, suggesting that interactions with other pathogens such as A. fumigatus may influence the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa by altering its virulence. We report here an investigation of the effect of culturing P. aeruginosa in the presence of A. fumigatus by measuring differences in growth rate and the overall proteome of the bacteria. It was hypothesized that A. fumigatus creates an environment that promotes a metabolic-driven increase in P. aeruginosa that results in it outcompeting the fungus. The molecular basis of this increased proliferation was investigated further using Label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomics to characterise the proteome changes in P. aeruginosa when exposed to the supernatant of i) A. fumigatus alone ii) the supernatant of an A. fumigatus/P. aeruginosa co-culture and iii) P. aeruginosa alone. LFQ proteomics involves the simultaneous identification and quantification of thousands of proteins (the ultimate determinants of phenotype) from a single sample has recently been employed to characterise the P. aeruginosa proteome in response to iron limiting conditions, resolving how how the bacteria survives and proliferates in such environments.

Project description:The following describes additional preliminary data to that outlined in Project PXD014022 and specifically describes the 12-hour co-exposure and P. aeruginosa 12 hour exposure preliminary experiments. Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most prevalent fungal and bacterial pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis-related infections, respectively. P. aeruginosa eventually predominates as the primary pathogen, though it is unknown why this is the case. Label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomics was employed to characterize the cellular response to co-exposure of A. fumigatus and P. aeruginosa using the type II alveolar epithelial cell line, A549, as a model of the alveolar surface. Proteomic data revealed that P. aeruginosa replication increased exponentially when co-cultured with A. fumigatus. Comparative analysis using LFQ proteomics revealed similarities and distinct differences in the response of A549 cells to A. fumigatus, or P. aeruginosa and sequential exposure to both pathogens. In total, 2264 proteins were identified. Analysis of statistically significant (p<0.05; ±1.5 fold change) differentially abundant (SSDA) proteins, revealed an increase in the relative abundance of proteins associated with biological processes common to all pathogen-exposed groups.

Project description:The fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is frequently cultured from the sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients along with the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A. fumigatus secretes a range of secondary metabolites, and one of these, gliotoxin, has inhibitory effects on the host immune response. In this study, the effect of P. aeruginosa culture filtrate (CuF) on fungal growth and gliotoxin production was investigated. Exposure of A. fumigatus hyphae to P. aeruginosa cells induced increased production of gliotoxin and a decrease in fungal growth. In contrast exposure of A. fumigatus hyphae to P. aeruginosa CuF lead to increased growth and decreased gliotoxin production. Quantitative proteomic analysis was employed to characterize the proteomic response of A. fumigatus upon exposure to P. aeruginosa CuF. Changes in the profile of proteins involved with secondary metabolite biosynthesis (gliotoxin, fumagillin, pseurotin A), and changes to the abundance of proteins involved in oxidative stress (e.g. formate dehydrogenase) and detoxification (e.g. thioredoxin reductase) were observed, suggesting that the bacterial secretome has a profound effect on the fungal proteome. Alterations in the abundance of proteins involved in detoxification and oxidative stress, highlight the ability of A. fumigatus to differentially regulate protein synthesis in response to environmental stresses imposed by competitors such as P. aeruginosa. Such responses may ultimately have serious detrimental effects on the host.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most prevalent fungal and bacterial pathogens, associated with cystic fibrosis-related infections, respectively. Although it is well established that P. aeruginosa eventually predominates as the primary pathogen, it is unknown why this is the case. Label-free quantitative proteomics was employed here to compare the cellular response to A. fumigatus, P. aeruginosa and sequential exposure to both pathogens in the type II alveolar epithelial cell line, A549, a model of the alveolar surface. In total, 2264 proteins were identified and the analysis of statistically significant (p<0.05; ±1.5 fold change), differentially abundant (SSDA) proteins, revealed an increase in the relative abundance of proteins associated with biological processes common to all pathogen-exposed groups. These included mitochondrial stress, energy metabolism and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. Conversely, clear differences were observed between the cellular response to A. fumigatus or P. aeruginosa and following sequential exposure to both pathogens. The relative abundance of proteins associated with ribosomal activity appeared comparable between sequentially exposed cells and unexposed cells, but were substantially decreased in fungal- and bacterial-exposed cells. Furthermore, compared to unexposed cells, the relative abundance of proteins associated with the actin cytoskeleton, endocytosis, phagosome and lysosome were increased in A. fumigatus and P. aeruginosa-exposed cells, but appeared unchanged or decreased in sequentially exposed cells. This research provides novel insights into the whole cell proteomic response to A. fumigatus and P. aeruginosa, and highlights distinct differences following sequential exposure to both pathogens.
