View SamplesWith the aim of identifying new pathways and genes regulated by PTH(1-34) and PTH-related protein 1-141 [PTHrP(1-141)] in osteoblasts, this study was carried out using a mouse marrow stromal cell line, Kusa 4b10, that acquires features of the osteoblastic phenotype in long-term culture conditions. After the appearance of functional PTH receptor 1 (PTHR1) in Kusa 4b10 cells, they were treated with either PTH(1-34) or PTHrP(1-141), and RNA was subjected to Affymetrix whole mouse genome array.

View SamplesSigma factors are master regulators of bacterial transcription which direct gene expression of specific subsets of genes. In particular, alternative sigma factors are well-known to be key players of bacterial adaptation to changing environments. To elucidate the regulatory network of sigma factors in P. aeruginosa, an integrative approach including sigma factor-dependent mRNA profiling was performed to define the primary regulon of each sigma factor. Overall design: Sigma factor hyper-expressing strains harboring the sigma factor gene in trans under control of the araBAD promoter and sigma factor deletion mutants were constructed. Under optimal conditions regarding sigma factor activity and optional induction of sigma factor expression, bacteria were harvested and total RNA was extracted. Upon mRNA enrichment, RNA was fragmented and ligated to specific RNA-adapters containing a hexameric barcode sequence for multiplexing. These RNA-libraries were reverse transcribed and amplified resulting in cDNA libraries which were sequenced on Illumina platforms. Sequence reads were separated according to their barcodes and barcode sequences were removed. The short reads were mapped to the genome sequence of the reference strain P. aeruginosa PA14 wild-type using stampy with default settings. The R package DESeq was used for differential gene expression analysis.

View SamplesWe analyzed the transcriptional profile of P.aeruginosa PA14 grown under 14 different environmental conditions. These included conditions of growth within biofilms, at various temperatures, osmolarities and phosphate concentrations, under anaerobic conditions, attached to a surface and conditions encountered within the eukaryotic host. We found that >30% of the PA14 genome was differentially regulated at least under one of the 14 environmental conditions (referred to as the adaptive transcriptome). Most of the genes were also differentially regulated upon sigma factor hyper expression and/or inactivation (GEO accession number GSE54999) and many of those belonged to primary alternative sigma factor regulons. Overall design: The samples of P. aeruginosa PA14 wild type strain were cultivated under 14 different experimental conditions and were analyzed by RNA-seq. For each condition, at least two biological replicates were generated Please note that PA14 is our standard lab strain used for all generated data in this records. There is no mutation introduced for any of those experiments, and thus, the descriptions only highlight the growth conditions.

View SamplesWe demonstrate that the versatile environmental bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapts a virulence phenotype after serial passage in Galleria mellonella as an invertebrate model host. The virulence phenotype was not linked to the acquisition of genetic variations and was sustained for several generations, despite cultivation of the ex vivo virulence-adapted P. aeruginosa cells under non-inducing rich medium conditions. Transcriptional reprogramming seemed to be induced by a host-specific food source as reprogramming was also observed upon cultivation of P. aeruginosa in medium supplemented with polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids. Methods : mRNA profiles were generated for Pseudomonas aerugionsa samples derived from LB-cultures grown to an OD600 =2. The removal of ribosomal RNA was performed using the Ribo-Zero Bacteria Kit (Illumina) and cDNA libraries were generated with the ScriptSeq v2 Kit (Illumina) . The samples were sequenced in single end mode on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 device and mRNA reads were trimmed and mapped to the NC_008463.1 (PA14) reference genome from NCBI using Stampy pipeline with defaut settings. Overall design: Isolate CH2658 was subjected to in vivo and in vitro evolution experiments in this study. This isolate was obtained from the lab of G. Gastmeier, Charite Berlin, Germany. The in vivo passages (using G. mellonella) are named CH2658 I-IV corresponding to passages 1 4. The last passage CH2658 IV corresponds to the “evolved strain” and was passaged in LB (four days, two passages a day) to generate revertants which are referred to as CH2658 Rev1-4 corresponding to samples from day1-4. The last passage CH2658 Rev4 is called “revertant”. Additionally, the clinical isolate was passaged under in vitro conditions in the presence of linolenic acid (Roth) with (CH2658 Lil+P) and without paraffin (CH2658 Lil). As controls, CH2658 was passaged in LB (CH2658 LB) and in LB supplemented with paraffin (CH2658 LB+P). The in vitro passage experiment was conducted for four days and two passages a day.

View SamplesGene regulation via transcription factors influences the metabolic, adaptive and pathogenic capabilities of the organism. We report the transcriptomes of the mutants of six major P. aeruginosa PA14 trancription factors - RhlR, LasR, Anr, GacA, FleQ and CbrB. Overall design: The P. aeruginosa PA14 transposon mutants were analyzed by RNA-seq. All samples were cultivated in LB medium until reaching an OD600 of 2.0. For each biological replicate, three cultures were pooled for RNA extraction, library preparation and sequencing.

View SamplesTGR5 (Gpbar1) is a G protein-coupled receptor responsive to bile acids (BAs), which is expressed in different non-parenchymal cells of the liver, including biliary epithelial cells, liver-resident macrophages, sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Mice with targeted deletion of TGR5 are more susceptible towards cholestatic liver injury induced by cholic acid-feeding and bile duct ligation, resulting in a reduced proliferative response and increased liver injury. Conjugated lithocholic acid (LCA) represents the most potent TGR5 BA ligand and LCA-feeding has been used as a model to rapidly induce severe cholestatic liver injury in mice. Thus, TGR5 knockout (KO) mice and wildtype littermates were fed a diet supplemented with 1%LCA for 84 hours. Liver injury and gene expression changes induced by the LCA-diet revealed an enrichment of pathways associated with inflammation, proliferation and matrix remodelling. Knockout of TGR5 in mice caused upregulation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in the livers. Analysis of TGR5-dependent ET-1 signalling in isolated LSECs and HSCs demonstrated that TGR5 activation reduces ET-1 expression and secretion from LSECs and triggers internalization of the ET-1 receptor in HSCs dampening ET-1 responsiveness. Thus, we identified two independent mechanisms by which TGR5 inhibits ET-1 signalling and modulates portal pressure.
