Discovery proteomics on cutaneous biopsies

ABSTRACT: Lyme disease is the most important vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere and represents a major public health challenge. The disease diagnosis relies mainly on clinical practice that can be coupled to serological or molecular diagnostics. However the relatively low sensitivity and specificity of the available Lyme diagnostics indicate the urgent need to identify additional highly antigenic borrelial proteins or to develop new strategies of diagnostic. As the skin constitutes a key interface where the pathogens can persist and multiply, we investigated proteomics on skin samples to detect Borrelia proteins directly in cutaneous biopsies in a robust and specific way. We first set up a discovery Ge-LC-MS/MS approach on a murine model infected by B. burgdorferi sensu stricto. This dataset contains all the results concerning this approach.

Lyme disease is the most important vector-borne disease in the Northern hemisphere and represents a major public health challenge with insufficient means of reliable diagnosis. Skin is rarely investigated in proteomics but constitutes in the case of Lyme disease the key interface where the pathogens can enter, persist, and multiply. Therefore, we investigated proteomics on skin samples to detect Borrelia proteins directly in cutaneous biopsies in a robust and specific way. We first set up a disc ...[more]

Project description:The alternative sigma factor RpoS plays a central role in the critical host-adaptive response of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. We previously identified bbd18 as a negative regulator of RpoS but could not inactivate bbd18 in wild-type spirochetes. In the current study we employed an inducible bbd18 gene to demonstrate the essential nature of BBD18 for viability of wild-type spirochete viability in vitro and at a unique point in vivo. Transcriptomic analyses of BBD18 depleted cells demonstrated global induction of RpoS-dependent genes prior to lysis, with the absolute requirement for BBD18, both in vitro and in vivo, circumvented by deletion of rpoS. The increased expression of plasmid prophage genes and the presence of phage particles in the supernatants of lysing cultures indicate that RpoS regulates phage lysis-lysogeny decisions. Through this work we identify a mechanistic link between endogenous transducing prophages and the RpoS-dependent adaptive response of the Lyme disease spirochete.
