Project description:Interspecies coaggregation promotes transcriptional changes of oral bacteria, contributing to the development of structurally balanced biofilms as well as oral diseases such as periodontitis. Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii) is an early colonizer of the oral cavity, and Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) may act as a bridge adhering to both early and late oral colonizers. These two species were commonly detected in healthy and periodontitis-diseased oral sites and could interact with immune cells such as macrophages. However, little research explored how intergeneric coaggregation affected transcriptional changes in S. gordonii and F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum and how these gene changes might affect both species’ pathogenicity. The present study investigated transcriptional changes of both species in response to dual-species physical association using dual RNA-seq. Results indicated that after 30-min dual-species coaggregation, 148 genes were significantly up-regulated, and 124 genes were significantly down-regulated in S. gordonii. A total of 154 genes were significantly down-regulated, and 10 genes were significantly up-regulated in F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum. A majority of up-regulated S. gordonii genes were involved in the biosynthesis and export of cell-wall proteins and the pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, and a group of down-regulated S. gordonii genes were associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. The transcriptome profiles indicated that the interspecies coaggregation led to a reduced level of DNA repair and lipopolysaccharides virulence in F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum. The present study revealed that dual-species coaggregation induced a wide array of gene changes in S. gordonii and F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum, enhancing S. gordonii’s adherence ability and attenuating F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum's ability to produce LPS.

Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram negative oral bacterial species associated with periodontal disease progression. This species is perhaps best known for its ability to adhere to a vast array of other bacteria and eukaryotic cells. Numerous studies of F. nucleatum have examined various coaggregation partners and inhibitors, but it is largely unknown whether these interactions induce a particular genetic response. We tested coaggregation between F. nucleatum ATCC strain 25586 and various species of Streptococcus in the presence of a semi-defined growth medium containing saliva. We found that this condition could support efficient coaggregation, but surprisingly also stimulated a similar degree of autoaggregation. We further characterized the autoaggregation response, since few reports have examined this in F. nucleatum. After screening several common coaggregation inhibitors, we identified L-lysine as a competitive inhibitor of autoaggregation. We performed a microarray analysis of the planktonic vs. autoaggregated cells and found nearly 100 genes that were affected after only about 60 min. of aggregation. We tested a subset of these genes via real-time RT-PCR and confirmed the validity of the microarray results. Some of these genes were also found to be inducible in cell pellets created by centrifugation. Based upon these data, it appears that autoaggregation activates a genetic program that may be utilized for growth in a high cell density environment, such as the oral biofilm. The study aims to determine the effect of autoaggregation upon the transcriptome. The study contains 2 separate experiments that both measure dispersed (i.e. non-aggregated) vs. aggregated cells and each experiment was performed in duplicate. Samples with no added components other than medium were dispersed, samples containing 25% saliva were aggregated, and samples containing 25% saliva + 50mM L-lysine remained dispersed.

Project description:A gram-negative colonizer of the oral cavity, Fusobacterium nucleatum not only interacts with many pathogens in the oral microbiome but also has the ability to spread to extraoral sites including placenta and amniotic fluid, promoting preterm birth. To date, however, the molecular mechanism of interspecies interactions –termed coaggregation–by F. nucleatum and how coaggregation affects bacterial virulence remain poorly defined. Here, we employed genome-wide transposon mutagenesis to uncover fusobacterial coaggregation factors, revealing the intertwined functionof a two-component signal transduction system (TCS), named CarRS, and a lysine metabolic pathway in regulating the critical coaggregation factor RadD. Transcriptome analysis shows that CarR modulates a large regulon including radD and lysine metabolic genes, such as kamA and kamD, the expression of each which is highly up-regulated in the ΔcarR mutant. Significantly, the native culture medium of ΔkamA or ΔkamD mutants builds up abundant amounts of free lysine, which blocks fusobacterial coaggregation with streptococci. Our demonstration that lysine-conjugated beads trap RadD from the membrane lysates suggests that lysine utilizes RadD as its receptor to act as a metabolic inhibitor of coaggregation. Lastly, using a mouse model of preterm birth, we show that fusobacterial virulence is significantly attenuated with the ΔkamA and ΔcarR mutants, in contrast to the enhanced virulence phenotype observed upon diminishing RadD (ΔradD or ΔcarS mutant). Evidently, F. nucleatum employs the TCS CarRS and environmental lysine to modulate RadD-mediated interspecies interaction, virulence, and nutrient acquisition to thrive in the adverse environment of oral biofilms and extraoral sites.

Project description:Neutrophils are known to be stimulated by different periodontal bacteria to produce reactive oxygen species and cytokines. It is inportant to investigate the gene changes made by bacteria of importance, of which, for periodontal disease, fusobaterium nucleatum is one. we used microarrays to investigate gene experssion changes in peripheral blood neutrophils werwhich e stimulated with or with out Fusobacterium Nucleatum (10953). Neutrophils from periodonatlly healthy individuals (n=4) were isolated and stimulated for 3hrs with or without fusobaterium nucleatum (10953). RNA was then extracted from these and pooled before hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative oral bacterial species associated with periodontal disease progression. As periodontal disease progresses, it is known F. nucleatum coaggregated with blood is frequently detected in the gingival crevice. However, it is largely unknown whether these interactions between F. nucleatum and blood induce a particular genetic response. We tested the cultures of F. nucleatum ATCC 25586 with or without blood in a semi-defined growth medium by microarray analysis and found 14 genes that were affected after only about 4hr. of adhered blood. Then, we selected 7 genes that changed significantly and tested these genes via real-time RT-PCR to confirm the validity of the microarray results. As a result, one amino sugar-binding protein on the membrane of F. nucleatum was especially expressed high via both microarray and real-time RT-PCR. Based upon these data, it appears that the protein on the F. nucleatum membrane binds and transfers the amino sugar only under blood conditions. This study aims to determine the effect of blood on the gene expression profiling of F. nucreatum. The study contains 2 separate experiments that both measure the cultures without or with blood. The samples with blood contain 9% and 33% blood.
