Project description:Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to mediate intercellular communication, virulence, and immune modulation. Here we show that bacteria can utilise EVs also as recyclable nutrient reservoirs. Using Bacillus cereus as a model organism, we demonstrate that EVs exhibit distinct dynamics depending on growth conditions: EVs produced in complex nutrient-rich media undergo time-dependent degradation, while those produced in defined nutrient-limited conditions remain stable and accumulate. We observe similar EV degradation patterns in Staphylococcus aureus. Time-resolved multi-omics profiling reveals that EVs containing the lipid sphingomyelin undergo progressive degradation. Using pharmacological inhibition, knockout mutants, and enzymatic complementation, we show that this process is driven by secreted sphingomyelinase (SMase). This enzyme contributes to degradation of sphingomyelin-containing EVs, thereby releasing their biomolecular cargo which can be used as a nutrient source. Growth assays confirm that SMase-mediated EV degradation provides a growth advantage when nutrients become depleted, thus establishing EVs as dynamic nutrient reservoirs.

Project description:Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a major foodborne pathogen associated with raw produce such as sprouts, where it encounters fluctuating nutrient, temperature, and oxidative stress. This study elucidated the global transcriptional adaptations of E. coli O157:H7 EDL933 during colonization and persistence on alfalfa sprouts under simulated commercial sprouting and refrigerated storage. RNA sequencing was used to compare STEC grown in tryptic soy broth (D0), colonizing fresh sprouts for 5 days (D5), and held during sprout refrigeration for additional 3 days (D8). Among 5,002 expressed genes, 782 and 826 were differentially expressed (DEGs; |log2FC| ≥ 2, adjusted p < 0.05) at D5 vs. D0, and D8 vs. D0, respectively, whereas 11 genes only differed in the D8 vs. D5 comparison, indicating that the STEC transcriptome was largely stabilized by the time sprouts reach maturity, with refrigeration inducing minimal further shifts. Transition of STEC from nutrient rich broth to sprout tissues induced a profound metabolic reprograming, characterized by the up-regulation of de novo amino acid biosynthesis (e.g., hisA–H, leuABCD, and ilv operons), to compensate for nitrogen limitation within sprout tissues. STEC further adapted to sprout environment by inducing high-affinity uptake systems for potassium (kdpA/B/C/F), phosphorus (pstSCAB), and sulfur (tauABCD), alongside enterobactin-mediated iron acquisition. To survive sprout microenvironment, STEC elevated the transcription of acid resistance (gadA/C, cadA/B), oxidative stress defense (sodA, katE/G), and envelope protection (degP, pspA–D, baeS) genes. Although initial colonization at D5 involved the induction of flagellar components, the transition to a sessile biofilm-associated lifestyle at D8 was marked by the repression of motility genes and the strong induction of curli fimbriae (csg) and colanic acid (wca) loci. Functional enrichment at D5 and D8, compared to D0, indicated coordinated stress regulation and translation. The major transcriptional trends observed in RNA seq were confirmed using RT-qPCR. Collectively, these findings highlight a multi tiered molecular adaptation strategy, enabling STEC adaptation and persistence in sprout environment, thus, providing insights that could be translated into STEC risk mitigation during sprout production

Project description:Bacterial-modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) play key roles in H. pylori-associated pathology. Here we demonstrate both pro-colonization and pro-inflammation roles of GEC-derived PPFIA4, originally expressed in nervous system, in H. pylori infection. PPFIA4 was elevated in gastric mucosa of H. pylori-infected patients and mice. PPFIA4 in GECs was synergistically induced by H. pylori and IL-33 in a cagA-dependent manner. Human gastric PPFIA4 correlated with H. pylori colonization and the severity of gastritis, and H. pylori colonization and inflammation were attenuated in Ppfia4-/- and Ppfia4ΔGEC mice.Overall, we propose a model in which PPFIA4 collectively ensures H. pylori persistence and promotes gastritis.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is characterized as progressive processes of bacterial persistence and chronic gastritis with features of infiltration of mononuclear cells more than granulocytes in gastric mucosa. Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is considered a double-edged sword in inflammation-associated diseases, but its function and clinical relevance in H. pylori-associated pathology is unknown. Here we demonstrate both pro-colonization and pro-inflammation roles of ANGPTL4 in H. pylori infection. Increased ANGPTL4 in the infected gastric mucosa was produced from gastric epithelial cells (GECs) synergistically induced by H. pylori and IL-17A in a cagA-dependent manner. Human gastric ANGPTL4 correlated with H. pylori colonization and the severity of gastritis, and mouse ANGPTL4 from non-bone marrow-derived cells promoted bacteria colonization and inflammation. Importantly, H. pylori colonization and inflammation were attenuated in Il17a-/-, Angptl4-/-, Il17a-/-Angptl4-/- mice. Mechanistically, ANGPTL4 bound to integrin αV (ITGAV) on GECs to suppress CXCL1 production by inhibiting ERK, leading to decreased gastric influx of neutrophils, thereby promoting H. pylori colonization; ANGPTL4 also bound to ITGAV on monocytes to promote CCL5 production by activating PI3K-AKT-NF-κB, resulting in increased gastric influx of regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) via CCL5-CCR4-dependent migration. In turn, ANGPTL4 induced Treg proliferation through binding to ITGAV to activate PI3K-AKT-NF-κB, promoting H. pylori-associated gastritis. Overall, we propose a model in which ANGPTL4 collectively ensures H. pylori persistence and promotes gastritis. Efforts to inhibit ANGPTL4-associated pathway may prove valuable strategies in treating H. pylori infection.

Project description:Bacterial-modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) play key roles in H. pylori-associated pathology. Here we demonstrate a pro-colonization and pro-inflammation role of GEC-expressed glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT3), a lipid metabolism-associated protein, in H. pylori infection. GPAT3 expression was elevated in gastric mucosa of both patients and mice infected with H. pylori. GPAT3 in GECs was synergistically induced by H. pylori and IL-22 in a cagA-dependent manner. Human gastric GPAT3 correlated with H. pylori colonization and the severity of gastritis, and mouse GPAT3 from non-bone marrow-derived cells promoted bacteria colonization and inflammation. Importantly, H. pylori colonization and inflammation were attenuated in Il22-/-, Gpat3-/- and Il22-/-Gpat3-/- mice. Mechanistically, GPAT3 directly interacted with CCAR1 and activated IKKγ, subsequently promoted NF-κB phosphorylation whereby NF-kB directly bound to the promoters of MMP1, CXCL11 and IL-33 to activate their transcription, which not only led to decreased E-cadherin and zonula occludens-1 proteins by MMP1, thereby resulting in gastric mucosal damage and increased H. pylori colonization; but also resulted in increased gastric influx of CD8+ T cells via CXCL11-dependent migration and their subsequent IL-33-dependent IFN-γ production, thereby promoting H. pylori-associated gastritis. Overall, we propose a model in which GPAT3 collectively ensures H. pylori persistence and promotes gastritis.

Project description:Gut microbiome modulates the host immune development, yet the functional contribution of gut fungi remains elusive. We previously showed that mice colonized only with fungi displayed allergic features and fecal metabolite profiles similar to germ-free mice. To gain insights into the functional changes attributed to fungal colonization, we performed proteomic analyses of feces and small intestine of gnotobiotic mice colonized with either bacteria, fungi, or both. Comparison of fecal metaproteomic profiles between mouse groups yielded broad changes in the relative levels of bacterial, fungal and mouse proteins. Many of the detected fungal proteins have been previously reported as a part of extracellular vesicles and having immunomodulating properties. Changes in the levels of mouse proteins derived from the small intestine impacted essential cellular pathways, including lipid metabolism and apoptosis. The results show how fungal colonization impacts the host proteome and suggest an influence on the host final cellular phenotype.

Project description:Intracellular accommodation of beneficial fungi requires host cell wall remodeling that avoids excessive immune activation. The root endophyte Serendipita indica, a generalist mutualist capable of colonizing both monocot and dicot plants, employs a monocot-specific enzymatic module to deconstruct acetyl-xylan, the dominant hemicellulose of grasses. Central to this module are the glycoside hydrolase SiGH11, which releases acetylated xylooligosaccharides, and SiAXE, a previously uncharacterized SGNH-like acetyl-xylan esterase that sequentially removes acetyl groups from soluble XOS. Both enzymes are co-expressed within a monocot-enriched transcriptional program that also includes sugar transporters and metabolic regulators. Their coordinated activity, together with co-expressed exo-enzymes, promotes efficient xylan hydrolysis while limiting the prolonged accumulation of immunogenic damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Functional genetics demonstrated that SiAXE is required for sustained intracellular growth in monocot roots: its deletion impaired colonization, whereas overexpression transiently accelerated entry but provoked immune responses, underscoring the importance of temporal regulation and enzyme coordination for immune-compatible colonization. These findings provide mechanistic insight into an immune-compatible fungal strategy for host cell wall remodeling and reveal how a broadly colonizing mutualist has repurposed ancestral saprotrophic enzymes into specialized host-adapted modules that balance nutrient acquisition with immune modulation.
