Project description:Background and aims The endophytic diazotrophic strain CBAmC of Nitrospirillum amazonense has been reported as a plant growth promoter of sugarcane variety RB867515 when grown under field conditions. The present work aimed to assess the influence of apoplast fluid from RB867515 on the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of CBAmC cultured in vitro. Methods RNA-Seq in Ion Proton™ and ESI-LC-MS/MS peptide analysis were used to evaluate the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles, respectively, of CBAmC exposed for 2 h to the sugarcane apoplast fluid. Results The bacterial transcriptomic and proteomic profiles were well correlated. The overall response of CBAmC to the apoplast fluid included overexpression of defense systems against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osmotic stress, RND efflux pumps for toxic compounds, Sec and Tat secretory systems, and assimilative metabolism of iron. In contrast, active transporters of organic compounds, chemotaxis system and flagellum structure were underexpressed. Conclusions The bacterial metabolic pathways / functions activated in response to the sugarcane apoplast fluid are most likely related to its adaptation to the peculiar characteristics of the fluid. The activation of some of those functions could be determinant for its adaptation to the sugarcane apoplastic niche, and perhaps be involved in the previously observed effect of promoting plant growth.

Project description:The diazotrophic CBAmC strain of Nitrospirillum amazonense has been reported to promote growth of sugarcane variety RB867515 when inoculated under field conditions in a consortium with four other nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The present work had the objective of accessing the influence of the sugarcane apoplast fluid from variety RB867515 on the global transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of CBAmC strain cultured in vitro. The comparative analysis between the transcriptome and proteome profiles showed strong consistency between the results of the two approaches. Data analysis revealed that expression levels of transcripts and proteins related to cell motility and signal transduction, among other functions, were strongly downregulated in the presence of the apoplast fluid. In contrast, transcripts and proteins were upregulated for functional categories including chaperones, iron homeostasis and multidrug efflux transporters. In conclusion, the results showed that the metabolic state of N. amazonense during cultivation in the presence of the apoplast fluid is directed to functions capable of supporting adaptation to the complex environment of the sugarcane apoplast.
Project description:Exposure to tear fluid can enhance corneal epithelial cells' ability to resist bacterial virulence mechanisms by upregulating epithelial-derived innate defense genes. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the mechanisms by which tear fluid modulates epithelial cell susceptibility to P. aeruginosa internalization and the relationship to known to be upregulated genes with tear fluid exposure. The hypothesis tested was that tear fluid effects on epithelial cells involve the induction of microRNA expression to modify innate defense gene responses to bacterial challenge.

The hypothesis tested was that tear fluid effects on epithelial cells involve the induction of microRNA expression to modify innate defense gene responses to bacterial challenge. Human corneal epithelial cells were incubated in either 40 ul of fresh human tear fluid or high calcium KGM without antibiotics for 16 hours before extraction or before incubation with P. aeruginosa antigens for 3 h then extraction.
Project description:We performed RNA-Seq based gene expression analysis of Arabidopsis Col-0 plants grown in presence of SynComCol-0 (eubiotic bacterial community), SynCommfec (dysbiotic bacterial community) and Axenic conditions in GnotoPot plant gnotobiotic growth system. SynCom preparation was done by mixing equal ratio of the each strain measured based on optical density of (OD600) in 10 mM MgCl2 and adjusting to the final combined OD600 of 0.04. Plants were grow in GnotoPots as described in (Chen et al, Nature 2020). We identified genes differentially enriched in response to presence of eubiotic and dysbiotic bacterial communities. Our results suggested that in presence of dysbiotic community there is over abundance of gene expression for immunity/defense-related genes in SynCommfec compared SynComCol-0 colonized plants.
