Human defensin fragments to fight ESKAPE pathogens

ABSTRACT: In this project, we developed a novel antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. This peptide was tested for its bactericidal activity against intestinal pathogens. We could show that the human defensin fragment could reduced acute intestinal Salmonella and established Citrobacter infection, with minimal-side-effect on the gut microbiota. Human defensins are therefore promising targets to develop new treatment options.

The role of β-defensin 103 (DEFB103) copy number variation in bull fertility

Project description:Pregnancy rates for elite bulls used in artificial insemination (AI) can vary significantly and therefore the identification of molecular markers for bull fertility and targets to improve bull selection is important. β-defensins are peptides with diverse regulatory roles in sperm function across multiple species. To explore the functional impact of DEFB103 CNV on the uterine response in vivo, 18 heifers were inseminated with sperm from bulls categorized by low, intermediate, and high CN levels. Transcriptomic analysis of uterine tissue collected 12 hours after insemination revealed significant differential expression of 58 genes (FDR<0.1) related to sperm migration, immune signaling, and chemotaxis. These findings highlight the significant role of DEFB103 CN in both sperm function and the uterine response to bull sperm, suggesting its potential influence on pregnancy outcomes in cattle.

Proteomic response of Escherichia coli to membrane lytic and iron chelating Amaranthus tricolor defensin

Project description:Plant defensins are a broadly distributed family of antimicrobial peptides which have been primarily studied for agriculturally relevant antifungal activity. Recent studies have probed defensins against gram negative bacteria revealing evidence for multiple mechanisms of action including membrane lysis and ribosomal inhibition. In this study, a γ-core motif synthetic analog ( Atr-DEF2(G39-C55) ) of Amaranthus tricolor DEF2 (Atr-DEF2) is used to probe plant defensin antibacterial mechanism of action via proteomics.

single cell RNA-seq on FACS purfied murine paneth cells

Project description:The small intestinal crypts harbour secretory Paneth cells (PCs) which express bactericidal peptides that are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Considering the diverse environmental conditions throughout the course of the small intestine, multiple subtypes of PCs are expected to exist. We applied single cell RNA-sequencing of PCs combined with deep bulk RNA-sequencing on PC populations of different small intestinal locations and discovered several expression-based PC clusters. Some of these are discrete and resemble tuft cell-like PCs, goblet cell (GC)-like PCs, PCs expressing stem cell markers, and atypical PCs. Other clusters are less discrete but appear to be derived from different locations along the intestinal tract and have environment-dictated functions such as food digestion and antimicrobial peptide production

Neutrophil-specific defensin receptors prevent skin dysbiosis and bacterial infection

Project description:Healthy skin maintains a diverse microbiome and a potent immune system to fight off infections. In this study, we discovered that epithelium-derived antimicrobial peptides defensins activate orphan GPCRs Mrgpra2a/b on neutrophils. This signaling axis is required for effective neutrophil-mediated skin immunity and microbiome homeostasis. We generated two mutant mouse lines, Defensin conditional knockout (Def cKO, K14-cre; Def fl/fl) in which the entire Def gene cluster is conditionally deleted from keratinocytes, and Mrgpra2 double knockout (Mrgpra2 dKO). We used high-throughput RNA sequencing to evaluate the whole transcriptomes of WT and mutant animals' skin under naive condition and 24 hours post-S. aureus infection. Disruption of defensin-Mrgpra2 signaling caused reduction of a network of pro-inflammatory and antibacterial gene expression. This study demonstrates the importance of epithelial-neutrophil signaling via the defensin-Mrgpra2 axis in maintaining healthy skin ecology and promoting antibacterial host defense.

Separated and combined effects of the over-expression of a plant defensin and of a 20 mM Zn treatment on yeast.

Project description:The expression of plant defensins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown to increase tolerance to Zn of yeast (Mirouze et al., 2006; Shahzad et al., 2013). The present transcriptomic approach has been conducted to uncover the mechanism underlying this phenotype. WT yeast was compared to yeast expressing the AhPFF1.1b plant defensin when grown in both control medium and medium supplemented with 20 mM ZnSO4.

Gene expression analysis of crypt base epithelial cells from WT and Nod2-/- mice

Project description:Nod2 has been extensively characterized as a bacterial sensor that induces an antimicrobial and inflammatory gene expression program. Therefore, it is unclear why Nod2 mutations that disrupt bacterial recognition are paradoxically among the highest risk factors for Crohn’s disease, which involves an exaggerated immune response directed at intestinal bacteria. Previous studies from our lab have shown that mice deficient in Atg16L1, another Crohns disease susceptibility gene, develop abnormalities in Paneth cells, specialized epithelial cells in the small intestine involved in antimicrobial responses. The goal of our study is to determine whether Nod2 deficiency leads to differences in the transcriptional profile of Paneth cells, ultimately leading to small intestinal inflammation. Small intestinal sections (ileum) of 8 week old WT and Nod2-/- mice were fixed in methacarn and embedded in paraffin. The Leica LMD6000 Laser Microdissection system was used to capture crypt base epithelial cells to enrich for Paneth cells. RNA was extracted from these cells, followed by cDNA synthesis and qPCR to confirm enrichment of Paneth cells using unique markers (a-defensins).

Effect of depletion of FABP4 in mice intestinal epithelial cells on gene expression

Project description:To investigate the function of FABP4 in the intestinal in vitro cultured organoids,FABP4, which located in crypt lyszyme+ Paneth cells can regulate the expression of defensins, especially HFD-mediated downregulation of defensin in Paneth cells will provide insights into factor(s) underlying modern diseases. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of FABP4fl/flpvillinCreT (FABP4KO) mice and FABP4fl/fl (WT)mice in vitro cultured intestinal organoids.

Gene expression profiles in SLC15A1/PEPT1-knockout human iPS cell-derived intestinal epithelial-like cells

Project description:Because many peptide and peptide-mimetic drugs are substrates of peptide transporter 1, it is important to evaluate the peptide transporter 1-mediated intestinal absorption of drug candidates in the early phase of drug development. Although intestinal cell lines treated with inhibitors of peptide transporter 1 are widely used to examine whether drug candidates are substrates for peptide transporter 1, these inhibitors are not sufficiently specific for peptide transporter 1. In this study, to generate a more precise evaluation model, we established peptide transporter 1-knockout induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by using a CRISPR-Cas9 system and differentiated the cells into intestinal epithelial-like cells. The permeability value and uptake capacity of glycylsarcosine (substrate of peptide transporter 1) in peptide transporter 1-knockout intestinal epithelial-like cells were significantly lower than those in wild-type intestinal epithelial-like cells, suggesting that peptide transporter 1 was successfully depleted in the epithelial cells. Taken together, our model can be useful in the development of peptide and peptide-mimetic drugs.
