Proteomic profiling of the membrane fraction of E. coli strains MG1655 and ZvL2

ABSTRACT: The role of propionate-induced rearrangement of membrane proteins in the formation of the virulent phenotype of Crohn's Disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli. Adhesive-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) were first isolated from the ileal mucosa of a patient with Crohn's disease (CD) which is a severe chronic immune-mediated granulomatous inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. It turned out that they are able to successfully penetrate the mucin layer, overcome the epithelial barrier, and also survive and multiply inside macrophage. Bacteria with such properties were assigned to a special group of pathobiont adhesive-invasive E. coli. AIEC activity is accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, i.e. surviving and multiplying inside macrophages, they enhance the inflammatory process. The role of AIEC in the onset or chronicity of CD is not well-defined. However, it has been proposed that these bacteria could trigger the onset of the inflammatory process as a result of the invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, and then, due to their survival within macrophages, they could stimulate chronic inflammation and granuloma developmen. Pathogens use a variety of mechanisms, including the induction of inflammation, the direct or indirect destruction of commensal species, and the use of alternative carbon sources to survive. AIEC are shown to be able to utilize ethanolamine and propanediol, which are formed during the catabolism of phospholipids, fucose or rhamnose, propionate and other metabolites. Metabolic plasticity is thought to allow AIEC to act as an opportunistic pathogen in conditions of intestinal inflammation. We have previously shown that passage of AIEC from a CD patient (CD isolate) on M9 minimal medium supplemented with sodium propionate (PA) as a carbon source leads to a strong increase, and passage on M9 medium supplemented with glucose, on the contrary, leads to a significant decrease in adhesive-invasive properties and ability to survive in macrophages. We were able to compare the isogenic CD isolate in two states: virulent with high adhesive-invasive activity and ability to survive in macrophages, and non-virulent, when these properties are lost. In contrast to the CD isolate, passage of the laboratory strain K12 Mg1655 on the M9 medium supplemented with PA did not cause a similar effect. We performed a comparative proteomic analysis of membrane fractions isolated from ZvL2-PA and ZvL2-GLU using LC-MS. The laboratory strain K12 Mg1655 was used as a control.

Adhesive-invasive <i>E. coli</i> has been suggested to be associated with the development of Crohn's disease (CD). It is assumed that they can provoke the onset of the inflammatory process as a result of the invasion of intestinal epithelial cells and then, due to survival inside macrophages and dendritic cells, stimulate chronic inflammation. In previous reports, we have shown that passage of the CD isolate ZvL2 on minimal medium M9 supplemented with sodium propionate (PA) as a carbon source st ...[more]

Project description:Crohn’s disease (CD) is a severe chronic immune-mediated granulomatous inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Its pathogenesis mechanisms remain obscure. One of the factors of CD pathogenesis is reduced diversity of gut microbiota which is accompanied by the characteristic increase of representation of Escherichia coli strains, several of which are able to penetrate the mucin layer, adhere to the epithelial cells, cross the epithelial barrier, and colonize macrophages. During the internalization, these E. coli strains can modulate macrophages’ defensive functions in a way that allows them to survive in a presence of such negative factors as low pH, oxidative stress, proteolytic enzymes and antimicrobial solutions. These strains were collectively assigned to the adhesive–invasive group of E. coli (AIEC). Earlier we sequenced 28 E. coli isolates from 10 patients with CD [Rakitina DV et al. Genome analysis of E. coli isolated from Crohn disease patients. BMC Genomics. 2017, 18(1):544. doi: 10.1186/s12864-017-3917-x] It has been demonstrated that the majority of enteropathogens feature specific metabolic pathways allowing them to use alternative carbon sources which leads to survivability and enhaced competitiveness in the host organism. Previously, we demonstrated that virulent properties of CD isolates are dependent on the carbon source: prolonged growth on propionate containing medium stimulates virulent properties while prolonged growth on glucose reduces these properties to levels indistinguishable from laboratory strain K-12 MG1655 [Pobeguts OV et al. Propionate Induces Virulent Properties of Crohn’s Disease-Associated Escherichia coli. Frontiers in Microbiology. 2020, 11:1460. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01460]. Thus, cultivation of E. coli on different growth mediums: M9 supplied with propionate and glucose made it possible to distinguish two states of each CD isolate: active (aAIEC) and inactive (iAIEC). In order to identify the major changes that occur upon change of carbon source, we carried out LC–MS-based proteomic analysis of aAIEC and iAIEC states of three CD isolates of E. coli ZvL2 (RCE07), BruB2 (RCE03) and К5 (RCE06) grown on glucose and propionate.

Project description:Propionate is a common three-carbon intermediate produced from the breakdown of propiogenic substrates, such as branched-chain amino acids and odd-numbered fatty acids, and by gut bacteria. Propionate can chemically modify proteins, and if this involves histones, it may underpin a disease-relevant link between short-chain acyls and gene expression in the heart. Here, we sought to characterize how propionate-dependent modifications to histones affect cardiac gene expression and contractile function in a mouse model producing elevated levels of propionate/propionyl-CoA. An adult mouse model of propionic acidaemia (PA) was used to investigate how propionate affects histones and gene expression in the heart, an organ strongly affected in PA patients. Mass spectrometry confirmed elevated plasma propionate in 8-week PA mice, reaching levels detected in PA patient serum. Metabolomic analyses confirmed a metabolic signature of PA, but male mice had enhanced propionate processing towards -alanine. Female PA hearts had expanded end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, and weaker systolic contractions, without major electrocardiographic changes. Ca2+ signals were deranged in female PA mice (raised diastolic Ca2+), consistent with contractile dysfunction. Differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) included Pde9a and Mme, previously linked to cardiac dysfunction. These DEGs also responded to 48-h culture of wild-type myocytes with propionate as well as butyrate, an HDAC inhibitor, suggesting a role for increased histone acetylation alongside propionylation in inducing these genes. Indeed, histone acetylation (H3K27ac) and propionylation were elevated genome-wide in the PA heart and at the promoters of Pde9a and Mme. These propionate-associated epigenetic responses were more pronounced in female PA mice. The greater prominence of epigenetic, transcriptional, and functional responses in female PA mice, despite a mostly sex-indiscriminate overall metabolic milieu, argues that histone acylation plays a defining role in the cardiac phenotype. We conclude that perturbed propionate metabolism in vivo alters histone acylation and gene expression, which impacts cardiac contractile function.
