Project description:let-7c and miR-294 were transfected into Dgcr8 -/- miRNA deficient ES cells and RNA was harvested after 12 hours the goal of this study was to identify direct and indirect targets of the let-7c and miR-294 miRNAs, we chose to harvest RNA early at 12 hours to mimize secondary effects due to ES cell differentiation, prior to performing the array experiment we found that at this time point candidate miRNA targets were maximally downregulated by qPCR

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is a frequent coloniser of the human nasopharynx and a major cause of life-threating invasive infections such as pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. Over 1 million people die every year due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), mainly in developing countries. Serotype 1 is a common cause of IPD; however, unlike other serotypes, it is rarely found in the carrier state in the nasopharynx, which is often considered a prerequisite for disease. The aim of this study was to understand this dichotomy. We used murine models of carriage and IPD to characterise the pathogenesis of African serotype 1 (Sequence Type 217) pneumococcal strains obtained from the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. We found that ST217 pneumococcal strains were highly virulent in a mouse model of invasive pneumonia, but in contrast to the generally accepted assumption, can also successfully establish nasopharyngeal carriage. Interestingly, we found that co-colonising serotypes may proliferate in the presence of serotype 1, suggesting that acquisition of serotype 1 carriage could increase the risk of developing IPD by other serotypes. RNAseq analysis confirmed that key virulence genes associated with inflammation and tissue invasiveness were upregulated in serotype 1. These data reveal important new insights into serotype 1 pathogenesis, with implications for carriage potential and risk of invasive disease through interactions with other co-colonising serotypes; an often overlooked factor in transmission and disease progression.

Project description:The primary mechanism by which pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide-based vaccines are believed to mediate protection is by induction of serotype-specific opsonic antibodies that facilitate bacterial killing by phagocytes (opsonophagocytosis). However, antibodies that are protective against experimental pneumococcal pneumonia in mice but do not promote opsonophagocytic killing in vitro have also been identified 1-3. Such non-opsonic antibodies are associated with bacterial clearance in vivo, but the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this letter, we demonstrate that a protective, non-opsonic serotype 3 pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) enhances quorum sensing, which results in competence induction and fratricide of serotype 3 pneumococcus. Gene expression profile analysis revealed that the MAb together with the pneumococcal autoinducer, competence stimulating peptide 2 (CSP2), augments differential expression of competence (com) related bacteriocin-like peptide (blp) genes that are known to be involved in pneumococcal fratricide. Taken together, these findings reveal a previously unsuspected mechanism of antibody action, namely, enhancement of quorum sensing and bacterial fratricide. Given that this activity does not require phagocytes, antibodies that function accordingly may hold promise as adjuncts to current vaccines or as desired products of next generation pneumococcal vaccines.

Project description:Analysis of the pulmonary gene expression in two mouse strains BALB/cOlaHsd (BALB/c) and CBA/CaOlaHsd (CBA/Ca) after infection with various serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. BALB/c mice show high resistance to infection with S. pneumoniae strain D39 (serotype 2), while CBA/Ca mice are highly susceptible. The lung samples of BALB/c and CBA/Ca were collected at 6h post-infection with one of the tested pneumococcal serotypes (2, 3, 6B and 19F) and for control animals (PBS-treated). Additionally lung samples from both mouse strains were collected at 12h and 24h post-infection with pneumococcal strain D39. The lists of differentially expressed genes were created by the comparison of infected versus PBS-treated animals and infected BALB/c versus infected CBA/Ca for each pneumococcal strain. The tested hypotheses were: 1) infection with S. pneumoniae will change the pulmonary transcriptomes of both mouse strains 2) The pulmonary gene expression will be specific for mouse strains and for the pneumococcal serotype and 3) The change in the pulmonary gene expression will associate with future clinical outcome of infection or with the type of observed inflammatory responses.

Project description:RNases perform indispensable functions in regulating gene expression in many bacterial pathogens by processing and/or degrading RNAs. Despite the pivotal role of RNases in regulating bacterial virulence factors, the functions of RNases have not yet been studied in the major human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Here, we sought to determine the impact of two conserved RNases, the endoribonuclease RNase Y and exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), on the physiology and virulence of S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. We report that RNase Y and PNPase are essential for pneumococcal pathogenesis as both deletion mutants showed strong attenuation of virulence in murine models of invasive pneumonia. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed that nearly 200 mRNA transcripts were significantly up-regulated, whereas the abundance of several pneumococcal sRNAs, including the Ccn (CiaR Controlled Noncoding RNA) sRNAs, were altered in the ∆rny mutant relative to the wild-type strain. Additionally, lack of RNase Y resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes that included defects in pneumococcal cell morphology and growth in vitro. In contrast, Dpnp mutants showed no growth defect in vitro, but differentially expressed a total of 40 transcripts including the tryptophan biosynthesis operon genes and numerous 5’-cis-acting regulatory RNAs, a majority of which were previously shown to impact pneumococcal disease progression in mice using the serotype 4 strain TIGR4. Altogether our data suggest that RNase Y exerts a global impact on pneumococcal physiology, while PNPase-mediates virulence phenotypes, likely through sRNA regulation.

Project description:The self-renewal and differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) play essential roles in spermatogenesis. Extracellular vesicle (EV) is a universal strategy for intercellular communications in stem cell niches. However, the involvement of EVs in regulating the SSCs remains largely unknown. In this study, we have revealed the role of testis EVs isolated from postnatal day 7 (PND7) neonatal mouse testis in guiding spermatogonia into a transit-amplifying state with increased proliferation while retaining their differentiation potential. We profiled the repertoires of proteins and small RNAs by proteomic and small RNA transcriptomic analyses, respectively. We further showed that the EVs secreted by undifferentiated spermatogonia and the Sertoli cell lines, but not from more differentiated germ cell lines, conveyed let-7b/7c miRNA cargoes to spermatogonia, which mediates the effect of EVs on spermatognial transit amplification. Together, this study has deciphered an important intercellular communication within the spermatogonial niche mediated by let-7b/7c cargoes of EVs, providing a new insight into the regulation of SSCs and spermatogenesis.
