Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 persister and normal cells were treated with and without Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) to understand the effect of GM-CSF on gene expression of PAO1. We used DNA microarrays to identify the down-regulated and up-regulated genes after GM-CSF treatment. Pseudonmonas aeruginosa PAO1 normal cells were obtained from stationary phase culture and persister cells were isolated by lysing normal cells with ciprofloxacin. The normal cells and isolated persister cells were treated with GM-CSF and selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. The experiment was performed in two biological replicates. The samples for the biological replciates were: Control C1, Treatment T1, Control C2, and Treatment T2.

Project description:Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (ATCC 15692) treated by Tanreqing. PAO1 cells are evaluated with RNA-seq to understand the genes affected by this antibacterial agent. Our results provide new vision on the mode of action by Tanreqing.

Project description:The ParS/ParR two component regulatory system plays important roles for multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study we report RNA-seq analyses of the transcriptomes of P. aeruginosa PAO1 wild type and par mutants growing in a minimal medium containing 2% casamino acids. This has allowed the quantification of PAO1 transcriptome, and further defines the regulon that is dependent on the ParS/ParR system for expression. Our RNA-seq analysis produced the first estimates of absolute transcript abundance for the 5570 coding genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1. Comparative transcriptomics of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and par mutants identified a total of 464 genes regulated by ParS and ParR. Results also showed that mutations in the parS/parR system abolished the expression of the mexEF-oprN operon by down-regulating the regulatory gene mexS. In addition to affecting drug resistance genes, transcripts of quorum sensing genes (rhlIR and pqsABCDE-phnAB), were significantly up-regulated in both parS and parR mutants. Consistent with these results, a significant portion of the ParS/ParR regulated genes belonged to the MexEF-OprN and quorum sensing regulons. Deletion of par genes also lead to overproduction of phenazines and increased swarming motility, consistent with the up-regulation of quorum sensing genes. Our results established a link among ParS/ParR, MexEF-OprN and quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Based on these results, we propose a model to illustrate the relationship among these regulatory systems in P. aeruginosa. A total of 9 samples were analyzed in AB medium + 2% casamino acids, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 wild type strain (3 replicates); Pseudomonas aeruginosa parS mutant (3 replicates); Pseudomonas aeruginosa parR mutant (3 replicates).
Project description:In order to understand how Pseudomonas aeruginosa responds to low oxygen we grew strain PAO1 with 3 different oxygen concentrations: 2%, 0.4% and 0% supplemented with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Gene expression under these conditions was compared to that of cells grown with 20% oxygen. Keywords: Comparison of transcriptome profiles
