Project description:Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing threats to human health, yet recent work highlights how loss of resistance may also drive pathogenesis in some bacteria. In two recent studies, we found that in vitro beta-lactam antibiotic and nutrient stresses faced during infection selected for the genetic inactivation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) antibiotic efflux pump mexEFoprN. Unexpectedly, efflux pump mutations increased Pa virulence during infection; however, neither the prevalence of efflux pump inactivating mutations in real human infections, nor the mechanisms driving increased virulence of efflux pump mutants were known. We hypothesized that human infection would select for efflux pump mutations that drive increased virulence in Pa clinical isolates. Using genome sequencing of hundreds of Pa clinical isolates, we show that mexEFoprN efflux pump inactivating mutations are enriched in Pa cystic fibrosis isolates relative to Pa intensive care unit clinical isolates. Combining RNA-seq, metabolomics, genetic approaches, and infection models we show that efflux pump mutants increase expression of two key Pa virulence factors, elastase and rhamnolipids, which increased Pa virulence and lung damage during both acute and chronic infections. We show that increased virulence factor production was driven by increased Pseudomonas quinolone signal levels, and this mechanism of increased virulence held true in both a representative ICU clinical isolate and the notorious CF Pa Liverpool epidemic strain. Together, our findings suggest that mutations inactivating antibiotic resistance mechanisms could increase patient mortality and morbidity.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic human pathogen, causing serious chronic infections. PA can adapt efficiently to antibiotic stressors via different genotypic or phenotypic strategies such as resistance and tolerance. The adaptation regulatory system is not always very well understood. In this study, we use shotgun proteomics to investigate the system-level response to tobramycin in two clinical wound PA isolates and PAO1. We profiled each strain for its antibiotic drug-tolerant phenotype using supra-minimum inhibitory concentrations (supra-MIC) of tobramycin and apply proteomics to investigate the protein expression profiles. The MIC revealed that all isolates were susceptible to tobramycin but at supra-MIC concentrations at stationary growth, a degree of tolerance was observed for the isolates. We identified around 40 % of the total proteins encoded by the PA genome and highlighted shared and unique protein signatures for all isolates. Comparative proteome profiling in the absence of antibiotic treatment showed divergent fingerprints, despite similarities in the growth behavior of the isolates. In the presence of tobramycin, the isolates shared a common response in the downregulation of proteins involved in the two-component system, whereas stress response proteins were present at higher levels. Our findings provide insight into the use of proteomic tools to dissect the system-level response in clinical isolates in the absence and presence of antibiotic stress.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a ubiquitous bacterium that uses quorum sensing (QS), a cell-cell communication system that enables it to sense cell density and to alter gene expression. Pa has three complete QS circuits controlled by the transcriptional regulators LasR, RhlR, and PqsR (MvfR), that together control hundreds of genes, including virulence factors. In the well-described strain PAO1, QS is organized hierarchically, with PqsR and RhlR activity dependent on LasR. In PAO1, this hierarchy depends on the non-QS transcription factor MexT; by an unknown mechanism, deletion of mexT allows for RhlR activity in the absence of LasR. We aimed to identify how regulators such as MexT modulate the QS architecture in Pa. We compared the transcriptome of PAO1 to that of PAO1ΔmexT and identified 152 differentially expressed genes. MexT does not appear to regulate rhlR or pqsR directly; however, we identified two MexT-regulated operons that may affect the hierarchy in PAO1. These operons encode the drug efflux pump genes mexEF-oprN and the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) synthesis genes pqsABCDE. We performed genetic experiments to test whether the products of these genes affected the QS hierarchy. As with the mexT knockout mutant, we found that a PAO1 mexEF knockout mutant exhibited RhlR activity earlier, and to a higher magnitude, than wild-type PAO1. MexEF-OprN is known to export the PQS precursor HHQ, and we found that exogenous addition of PQS to PAO1 partially affects RhlR activity, resulting in earlier timing and higher magnitude compared to wild-type PAO1. We further elucidated that this is likely due to positive regulation by PqsE. These data link both the drug efflux pump MexEF-OprN and PQS QS to the regulation of the QS hierarchy in PAO1. We wondered if the same applied to QS architectures in Pa clinical isolates. We discovered that there are alternate QS architectures in clinical isolates, where RhlR activity is not fully dependent on LasR. In these isolates, surprisingly, MexT does not influence the relationship between LasR and RhlR, and this is indicative of a different QS architecture in the clinical isolates. Overall, we further elucidated the regulation of QS architecture in PAO1 and identified unique QS architectures in clinical isolates. Importantly, our work reveals a new suite of factors that regulate QS in Pa, with implications for a variety of Pa behaviors both in the laboratory and clinical settings.

Project description:In CRC, 1) to identify epigenetic changes at inter-tumor and intra-tumor level, and 2) to relate intra-tumor clonality to clinical, molecular and histopathologic parameters. From 79 FFPE tumors, 3 different regions were macrodissected: invasive front (IF), digestive tract surface (DTS) and central bulk (CB). Clinical, molecular, and histopathologic parameters were stablished. Epigenetic analysis was performed using Infinium 450K beadchip (Illumina) and R statistics. Intra-tumor regions clustered together by patient. The biggest epigenetic changes were in IF vs DTS/CB. By patient, the most often divergent region was IF (49.4%) comparing with DTS and CB (25.3% in both). It did not correlate with histopathologic, molecular and clinical parameters.Epigenetic clonality is higher at intra-tumor level. The highest changes are observed in IF vs DTS/CB. No association with histopathologic, molecular, and clinical characteristics was found. SNP characterization of 9 patients of teh discovery cohort were hibridized on Infinium HumanOncoArray-500 v1 beadchip, to asses the genetic clonality of the samples among the three intratumoral regions studied.

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative marine bacterium. A limited population of the organisms causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Almost all of the clinical V. parahaemolyticus isolates exhibit a beta-type hemolysis on Wagatsuma agar, known as the Kanagawa phenomenon (KP). KP is induced by the thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) produced by the organism, and has been considered a crucial marker to distinguish pathogenic strains from non-pathogenic ones. Since 1996, so-called “pandemic clones”, the majority of which belong to serotype O3:K6, have caused worldwide outbreaks of gastroenteritis. In this study, we used a DNA microarray constructed based on the genome sequence of a pandemic V. parahaemolyticus strain RIMD2210633 to examin the genomic composition of 22 strains of V. parahaemolyticus, including both pathogenic (pandemic as well as non-pandemic) and non-pathogenic strains. Over 85% of the RIMD2210633 genes were conserved in all the strains tested. Many of variably present genes formed gene clusters on the genome of RIMD2210633 and were probably acquired through lateral gene transfer. At least 70 genes over 10 loci were specifically present in the pandemic strains when compared with any of the non-pandemic strains, suggesting that the difference between pandemic and non-pandemic strains is not due to a simple genetic event. Only the genes in the 80-kb pathogenicity island (Vp-PAI) on chromosome II, including two tdh genes and a set of genes for the Type III secretion system, were detected only in the KP-positive pathogenic strains. These results strongly suggest that acquisition of this Vp-PAI was crucial for the emergence of V. parahaemolyticus strains that are pathogenic for humans.
