Ultrasmall epiparasitic Saccharibacteria suppresses gingival inflammation and bone loss through host bacterial modulation

ABSTRACT: Saccharibacteria (TM7) are obligate epibionts living on the surface of their host bacteria, and strongly correlated with dysbiotic microbiomes during periodontitis and other inflammatory diseases, suggesting they are putative pathogens. However, due to the recalcitrance of TM7 cultivation, no causal research has been conducted to investigate their role in inflammatory diseases. Here, we isolated multiple TM7 species on their host bacteria from periodontitis patients. These TM7 species reduced inflammation and consequential bone loss by modulating their host bacterial pathogenicity in mouse ligature-induced periodontitis model. Two host bacterial functions involved in collagen binding and utilization of eukaryotic sialic acid were identified as required for inducing bone loss and altered by TM7 association. This down-regulation of host bacterial pathogenicity by TM7 was shown for multiple TM7/host bacteria pairs, suggesting that, in contrast to their suspected pathogenic role, TM7 could protect mammalian hosts from inflammatory damage induced by their host bacteria.

Project description:Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equeisimilis (SDSE) has Lancefield group G or C antigens. Recent epidemiological studies reveal that invasive SDSE infections have been increasing in Asia, Europe and US. Although SDSE possesses similar virulence factors to S. pyogenes including streptolysin S (SLS) and streptolysin O (SLO), some important S. pyogenes virulence factors including active superantigens, SpeB and a hyarulonic acids capsule are missing in SDSE genome. The mechanisms and the key virulence factors for causing invasive diseases by SDSE are poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the transcriptome of SDSE in vivo using the murine sepsis model, revealing the strategy of SDSE to destruct host tissues with the virulence factors and to scavenge depleted nutrients. The expression of SLO operon increased at relatively early stage of infection while the SLS and hyaluronidases upregulated after 4h post infection. Microarray data suggested that SDSE degraded host tissue polysaccharides by streptococcal-secreting poly/oligosaccharide lyases and simultaneously used the Entner-Doudoroff pathway to metabolize acquired carbohydrates. A global negative virulence gene regulator CsrRS of SDSE modulated the expressions of genes encoding SLS and the carbohydrate metabolism enzymes. Moreover, csrS deficient mutant induced sever systemic hemolysis in mice. The most frequently isolated stG6792 strains from invasive disease secreted abundant SLS and SLO rather than other SDSE emm types, indicating the relationship between the SLS and SLO productions and poor outcome by the stG6792 strain infection. Our findings suggest that the concomitant regulation of virulence factors destructing the host tissues and metabolic enzymes play an important role to produce invasive diseases by SDSE. To analyze gene expressions in group G streptococci with the murine infection model, we developed a custom microarray for Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) based on the genome sequences of three SDSE strains; GGS_124, ATCC12923 and RE378. We intraperitoneally inoculated 10^8 CFU of GGS_124 stain and the csrS deficient mutant into ddY mice. Bacterial cells were collected from the abdominal cavity at 0, 2, 4 and 8 h post infection. GGS_124 cells were also collected from OD600=0.6 culture in brain heart infusion broth as a control.

Project description:Analysis of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples may give information of the identity of unattached (planktonic) subgingival bacteria, the 35 forefront candidates for systemic dispersal via ulcerated periodontal pocket epithelium. Our study represents the first one targeting the identity of bacteria in gingival crevicular fluid. Methodology/Principal findings: We determined bacterial species diversity in GCF samples of a group of periodontitis patients and delineated contributing bacterial and host-associated factors. Subgingival paper point (PP) samples from the same sites were taken for comparison. After DNA extraction, 16S rRNA genes were PCR amplified and DNA-DNA hybridization was performed using a microarray for over 300 bacterial species or groups. Altogether 133 species from 41 genera and 8 phyla 45 were detected with 9 to 62 and 18 to 64 species in GCF and PP samples, respectively, 46 per patient. Projection to latent structures by means of partial least squares (PLS) was applied to the multivariate data analysis. PLS regression analysis showed that species of genera including Campylobacter, Selenomonas, Porphyromonas, Catonella, Tannerella, Dialister, Peptostreptococcus, Streptococcus and Eubacterium had significant positive correlations and the number of teeth with low-grade attachment loss a significant negative correlation to species diversity in GCF samples. OPLS/O2PLS discriminant analysis revealed significant positive correlations to GCF sample group membership for species of genera Campylobacter, Leptotrichia, Prevotella, Dialister, Tannerella, Haemophilus, Fusobacterium, Eubacterium, and Actinomyces. Conclusions/Significance: Among a variety of detected species those traditionally classified as Gram-negative anaerobes growing in mature subgingival biofilms were the main predictors for species diversity in GCF samples as well as responsible for distinguishing GCF samples from PP samples. GCF bacteria may provide new prospects for studying dynamic properties of subgingival biofilms. The microbial profiles of GCF and subgingival plaque were analyzed from 17 subjects with periodontal disease.

Project description:Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a small, facultatively aerobic, gram-positive bacterium that causes erysipelas in swine and a wide spectrum of diseases in other animals, as well as the skin disease erysipeloid in humans. Swine erysipelas caused by E. rhusiopathiae is the most prevalent and economically important of these diseases. In China, swine erysipelas has emerged at an alarming rate, developing from scattered occurrences on a small number of farms to systemic outbreaks since 2012 in many provinces, thereby inflicting large financial losses. Some virulence factors of E. rhusiopathiae have been identified. The capsule is considered essential for resistance to phagocytosis and bacterial virulence. Neuraminidase plays a crucial role in initiating adhesion to endothelial cells. Two surface-adhesion proteins (RspA and RspB) participate in the initiation of biofilm formation by binding to abiotic and biotic surfaces. SpaA is involved in the adhesion of E. rhusiopathiae to porcine endothelial cells. Nevertheless, very little is known about the pathogenesis of E. rhusiopathiae. This knowledge gap has become one of the most important obstacles to controlling infection. Thus, the identification of novel virulence factors is necessary to improve understanding of the pathogenesis of E. rhusiopathiae.Surface proteins of gram-positive bacteria play a critical role in virulence by modifying the environment surrounding the cell. Furthermore, for many bacteria, surface proteins are candidate antigens for subunit vaccines. The examination of bacterial surface-protein fractions, including cell wall-associated proteins (CWPs), is an effective method for identifying novel virulence factors. One proteomic approach involves isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC)-quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This method has been widely used for the comparative quantitative analysis of bacterial proteomes. In this study, iTRAQ combined with LC-MS/MS was applied to compare differentially abundant CWPs of high- and low-virulence strains of E. rhusiopathiae. Proteins with higher abundance in the high-virulence strain were found to aid in predicting potential virulence factors to improve vaccines or disease-control strategies.
