Description
Purpose : The goal of this study was to use RNA-seq to compare transcriptional profiles under biofilm conditions with planktonic growth and explore the correlation of gene expression of a collection of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates to various phenotypes, such as biofilm structure or virulence. Methods : mRNA profiles were generated for Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical samples derived from various geographical locations by deep sequencing. 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 or paired end mode on an Illumina Novaseq 6000. mRNA reads were trimmed and mapped to the NC_008463.1 (PA14) reference genome from NCBI using bowtie2 with default settings. Overall design: mRNA profiles from Pseudomonas aeruginosa derived from static biofilm cultures grown for 12h to 48h in 96-well microtiter plates or planktonic LB cultures grown to an OD600 = 2 and deep sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2500/NovaSeq 6000.

Description
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous respiratory disease mainly caused by smoking. Respiratory infections constitute a major risk factor for acute worsening of COPD symptoms or COPD exacerbation. Mitochondrial functionality, which is crucial for the execution of physiologic functions of metabolically active cells, is impaired in airway epithelial cells (AECs) of COPD patients as well as smokers. However, the potential contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction in AECs to progression of COPD, infection-triggered exacerbations in AECs and a potential mechanistic link between mitochondrial and epithelial barrier dysfunction is unknown to date. In this study, we used an in vitro COPD exacerbation model based on AECs exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) followed by infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp). The levels of oxidative stress, as an indicator of mitochondrial stress were quantified upon CSE and Sp. The expression of proteins associated with mitophagy, mitochondrial content and biogenesis as well as mitochondrial fission and fusion was quantified upon CSE and Sp. Transcriptional AEC profiling was performed to identify the potential changes in innate immune pathways and correlate them with mitochondrial function. We found that CSE exposure substantially altered mitochondrial function in AECs by suppressing mitochondrial complex protein levels, reducing mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing mitochondrial stress and mitophagy. Moreover, CSE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction correlated with reduced enrichment of genes involved in apical junctions and innate immune responses to Sp, particularly type I interferon responses. Together, our results demonstrated that CSE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to impaired innate immune responses to Sp and may thus trigger COPD exacerbation.

Description
Background Small colony variants (SCVs) are slow-growing bacteria, which often show increased resistance to antibiotics and cause latent or recurrent infections. It is therefore important to understand the mechanisms at the basis of this phenotypic switch. Methodology/Principal findings One SCV (termed PAO-SCV) was isolated, showing high resistance to gentamicin and to the cephalosporine cefotaxime. PAO-SCV was prone to reversion as evidenced by emergence of large colonies with a frequency of 10-5 on media without antibiotics while it was stably maintained in presence of gentamicin. PAO-SCV showed a delayed growth, defective motility, and strongly reduced levels of the quorum sensing Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS). Whole genome expression analysis further suggested a multi-layered antibiotic resistance mechanism, including simultaneous over-expression of two drug efflux pumps (MexAB-OprM, MexXY-OprM), the LPS modification operon arnBCADTEF, and the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system. Conversely, the genes for the synthesis of PQS were strongly down-regulated in PAOSCV. Finally, genomic analysis revealed the presence of mutations in phoP and phoQ genes as well as in the mexZ gene encoding a repressor of the mexXY and mexABoprM genes. Only one mutation occurred only in REV, at nucleotide 1020 of the tufA gene, a paralog of tufB, both encoding the elongation factor Tu, causing a change of the rarely used aspartic acid codon GAU to the more common GAC, possibly causing an increase of tufA mRNA translation. High expression of phoP and phoQ was confirmed for the SCV variant while the revertant showed expression levels reduced to wild-type levels. Conclusions By combining data coming from phenotypic, gene expression and proteome analysis, we could demonstrate that resistance to aminoglycosides in one SCV mutant is multifactorial including overexpression of efflux mechanisms, LPS modification and is accompanied by a drastic down-regulation of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal quorum sensing system.

Description
The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) encoding the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 kinase defines a subset of ALL with a particularly unfavorable prognosis. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells are derived from B cell precursors in most cases and typically carry rearranged immunglobulin heavy chain (IGH) variable (V) region genes devoid of somatic mutations. Somatic hypermutation is restricted to mature germinal center B cells and depends on activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Studying AID expression in 108 cases of ALL, we detected AID mRNA in 24 of 28 Ph-positive ALLs as compared to 6 of 80 Ph-negative ALLs. Forced expression of BCR-ABL1 in Ph-negative ALL cells and inhibition of the BCR-ABL1-kinase showed that aberrant expression of AID depends on BCR-ABL1 kinase activity. Consistent with aberrant AID expression in Ph-positive ALL, IGH V region genes and BCL6 were mutated in many Ph-positive but unmutated in most Ph-negative cases. In addition, AID introduced DNA-single-strand breaks within the tumor suppressor gene CDKN2B in Ph-positive ALL cells, which was sensitive to BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibition and silencing of AID expression by RNA interference. These findings identify AID as a BCR-ABL1-induced mutator in Ph-positive ALL cells, which may be relevant with respect to the particularly unfavorable prognosis of this leukemia subset.

Description
The plasma cell transcription factor XBP1 is critical for terminal differentiation of B cells into plasma cells but has no known role at earlier stages of B-cell development. Here we show that XBP1 is not only important during early B-cell development and for survival of pre-B cells but also protects pre-B ALL cells. Among pre-B ALL subset, XBP1 was hypomethylated and highest expressed in the Ph+ ALL subset. Cre-mediated deletion of XBP1 in a mouse model of Ph+ ALL compromised proliferation and viability and prolonged survival of leukemia-bearing mice. Interestingly, XBP1 expression levels were positively transcriptionally regulated by STAT5 and negatively by BACH2 and BCL6. High XBP1 expression in high risk ALL patients at the time of diagnosis predicted poor outcome in two clinical trials. Clinically, small-molecule inhibition of IRE1-dependent XBP1-activation caused cell death of patient-derived pre-B ALL cells and affected leukemia-initiation in transplant recipient mice. Collectively, these studies identify XBP1 as an important survival factor and as a potential therapeutic target to overcome drug-resistance in pre-B ALL. Overall design: Genome-wide profiling of mRNA levels in p210 transduced murine Xbp1 fl/+ pre-B cells with ERT2 (XE.1,2,3) and Cre- ERT2 Â (XC.1,2,3).
