Deoxycholate induces biofilm formation by Clostridium difficile while repressing sporuation and toxin production

Project description:The objective of our study was to characterize the response of C. difficle to deoxycholate. When C. difficile was grown in the presence of deoxycholate, we observed an increase in biofilm formation. We then analyzed the transcriptome of the DCA-induced biofilm and cells grown in the absence of deoxycholate. The transcriptome analysis was then confirmed using phenotypic assays and gene-deletion strains.

Clostridium difficile Biofilm with and without deoxycholate at 48H

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms induced by deoxycholate (DCA) during biofilm formation and to identify factors implicated in the strong density of biofilms in this condition, we performed a transcriptomic analysis using microarrays. The microarrays were used to compare C. difficile transcription profiles of a 48 h biofilm (in BHISG medium) treated with DCA with an untreated biofilm.

The cell wall lipoprotein CD1687 acts as a DNA binding protein during deoxycholate-induced biofilm formation in Clostridioides difficile

Project description:The ability of bacterial pathogens to establish recurrent and persistent infections is frequently associated with their ability to form biofilms. Clostridioides difficile infections have a high rate of recurrence and relapses and it is hypothesised that biofilms are involved in its pathogenicity and persistence. Biofilm formation by C. difficile is still poorly understood. It has been shown that specific molecules such as deoxycholate (DCA) or metronidazole induce biofilm formation, but the mechanisms involved remain elusive. In this study, we describe the role of the lipoprotein CD1687 in the DCA-induced biofilm formation of C. difficile. We showed that the expression of CD1687, which is part of an operon within the CD1685-CD1689 gene cluster, is controlled by multiple transcription starting sites induced for some of them in response to DCA. Only CD1687 is required for biofilm formation and the overexpression of CD1687 is sufficient to induce biofilm formation. Using RNAseq analysis, we showed that CD1687 affects the expression of transporters and metabolic pathways and we identified several potential binding partners by pull-down assay, including transport-associated extracellular proteins. We then demonstrated that CD1687 is surface exposed in C. difficile, and this localization is required for DCA-induced biofilm formation. Given this localization and that C. difficile forms eDNA-rich biofilms, we confirmed that CD1687 binds DNA in a non-specific manner. We thus hypothesize that CD1687 is a component of the downstream response to DCA leading to biofilm formation by promoting interaction between the cells and the biofilm matrix by binding eDNA.

Extracellular succinate induces spatially organized biofilm formation in Clostridioides difficile

Project description:we report that succinate, a metabolite abundantly produced by the dysbiotic gut microbiota, induces in vitro biofilm formation of C. difficile strains. We characterized the morphology and spatial composition of succinate- induced biofilms, and compared to non-induced or deoxycholate-induced biofilms, biofilms induced by succinate are significantly thicker, structurally more complex, and poorer in proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS).

Grad-seq identifies KhpB as a global RNA-binding protein in Clostridioides difficile that regulates toxin production

Project description:Much of our current knowledge about cellular RNA–protein complexes in bacteria is derived from analyses in gram-negative model organisms, with the discovery of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) generally lagging behind in Gram-positive species. Here, we have applied Grad-seq analysis of native RNA–protein complexes to a major Gram-positive human pathogen, Clostridioides difficile, whose RNA biology remains largely unexplored. Our analysis resolves in-gradient distributions for ∼88% of all annotated transcripts and ∼50% of all proteins, thereby providing a comprehensive resource for the discovery of RNA–protein and protein–protein complexes in C. difficile and related microbes. The sedimentation profiles together with pulldown approaches identify KhpB, previously identified in Streptococcus pneumoniae, as an uncharacterized, pervasive RBP in C. difficile. Global RIP-seq analysis establishes a large suite of mRNA and small RNA targets of KhpB, similar to the scope of the Hfq targetome in C. difficile. The KhpB-bound transcripts include several functionally related mRNAs encoding virulence-associated metabolic pathways and toxin A whose transcript levels are observed to be increased in a khpB deletion strain. Moreover, the production of toxin protein is also increased upon khpB deletion. In summary, this study expands our knowledge of cellular RNA protein interactions in C. difficile and supports the emerging view that KhpB homologues constitute a new class of globally acting RBPs in Gram-positive bacteria.

The licorice metabolite enoxolone attenuates Clostridioides difficile pathophysiology by corrupting its metabolic and toxin production networks

Project description:Toxins TcdA and TcdB are the main virulence factors of Clostridioides difficile, a leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. We investigated the therapeutic potential of inhibiting the biosynthesis of TcdA and TcdB. Accordingly, screening of structurally diverse phytochemicals with medicinal properties identified 18b-glycyrrhetinic acid (enoxolone) as an inhibitor of TcdA and TcdB biosynthesis. Enoxolone also inhibited sporulation. In a CDI colitis model, enoxolone when combined with vancomycin protected mice from becoming moribund and the combination was more effective than vancomycin alone, a standard of care antibiotic for CDI. While enoxolone alone reduced the in vivo load of toxins, the monotherapy did not protect mice from CDI. Affinity based proteomics identified ATP synthase subunit alpha (AtpA) and adenine deaminase (Ade) as possible molecular targets for enoxolone. Silencing of mRNA for Ade and AtpA also reduced toxin biosynthesis, while molecular interaction analysis showed that enoxolone directly bound to Ade. Ade converts adenine to hypoxanthine as an early step in the purine salvage pathway. Metabolomics revealed enoxolone caused cells to accumulate adenosine and deplete hypoxanthine and ATP. Accordingly, supplementation with hypoxanthine partly restored toxin production. Enoxolone also impacted phosphate metabolism by reducing the amounts of cellular phosphate. Thus, supplementation with triethyl phosphate as a source of phosphate also partly restored toxin production. When hypoxanthine and triethyl phosphate were combined, toxin production was fully restored in the presence of enoxolone. Taken together, studies with enoxolone revealed metabolic pathways that affect C. difficile toxin production and could represent potential anti-virulence drug targets.
