Tracking the dynamic relationship between cellular systems and extracellular subproteomes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

ABSTRACT: . The transition of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa from free-living bacteria into surface-associated biofilm communities represents a viable target for the prevention and treatment of chronic infectious disease. We have established a proteomics platform that identified 2443 and 1142 high-confidence proteins in P. aeruginosa whole cells and outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), respectively, at three time points during biofilm development. Analysis of cellular systems, specifically the phenazine biosynthetic pathway, demonstrates that whole cell protein abundance correlates to end product (i.e., pyocyanin) concentrations in biofilm but not planktonic cultures. Furthermore, increased cellular protein abundance in this pathway results in quantifiable pyocyanin in early biofilm OMVs, and OMVs from both growth modes isolated at later time points. Overall, our data indicate that the OMVs being released from the surface of the biofilm whole cells have unique proteomes in comparison to their planktonic counterparts. The relative abundance of OMV proteins from various subcellular sources showed considerable differences between the two growth modes over time, supporting the existence and preferential activation of multiple OMV biogenesis mechanisms under different conditions. The consistent detection of cytoplasmic proteins in the OMV subproteome suggests that these proteins may contribute a small but functionally relevant component to biofilm OMVs. Direct comparisons of outer membrane protein abundance levels between OMVs and whole cells shows ratios that vary greatly from 1:1, and supports previous studies that advocate specific inclusion, or “packaging”, of proteins into OMVs. The detailed analysis of packaged protein groups indicates biogenesis mechanisms that involve untethered, rather than absent, peptidoglycan-binding proteins. Collectively, individual protein and biological system analyses of biofilm OMVs show that drug-binding cytoplasmic proteins and porins are shuttled from the whole cell into the OMVs, potentially contributing to the antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa whole cells within biofilms.

Project description:An antivirulence approach targets bacterial virulence rather than cell viability in the antibiotic approach that can readily lead to drug resistance. Opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a variety of virulence factors, and biofilm cells of this bacterium are much more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic cells. To identify novel inorganic antivirulence compounds, the dual screenings of thirty-six metal ions were performed to identify that zinc ions and ZnO nanoparticle inhibited the pyocyanin production and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. Moreover, zinc ion and ZnO nanoparticle markedly reduced the production of 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone and siderophore pyochelin, while increased the production of another sideropore pyoverdine and swarming motility. Further, zinc ion and ZnO nanoparticle clearly suppressed hemolytic activity in P. aeruginosa. Transcriptome analyses showed that ZnO nanoparticle induced zinc cation efflux pump czc operon, porin genes (oprD and opdT), and Pseudomonas type III repressor A ptrA, while repressed pyocyanin-related phz operon, which partially explains the phenotypic changes. Overall, ZnO nanoparticle is a potential candidate for use in an antivirulence approach against persistent P. aeruginosa infection. P. aeruginosa Genechip Genome Array (Affymetrix, P/N 900339) was used in order to study the cells after the addition of ZnO nanoparticles. DNA microarray analysis with one biological replicate was performed with an Affymetrix system. P. aeruginosa was inoculated in 25 ml of LB medium in 250 ml shaker flasks with overnight cultures (1 : 100 dilution). Cells were cultured for 5 h with shaking at 250 rpm with and without ZnO nanoparticles (1 mM). Before sample collection, RNase inhibitor (RNAlater, Ambion, TX, USA) was added, and the cells were immediately chilled with dry ice and 95% ethanol (to prevent RNA degradation) for 30 s before centrifugation at 16,000 g for 2 min. The cell pellets were immediately frozen with dry ice and stored at –80°C. Total RNA was isolated using a Qiagen RNeasy mini Kit (Valencia, CA, USA).
