Schmidt, Dorothea. "Molekulare Analyse des probiotischen Stamms Escherichia coli Nissle 1917." Doctoral thesis, Saechsische Landesbibliothek- Staats- und Universitaetsbibliothek Dresden, 2009. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:14-ds-1243973355362-88295.
Full textThe probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 is a fecal isolate which is traditionally used for treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders. In clinical trials where EcN was used as therapeutic alternative for remission maintenance of ulcerative colitis compared to standard medication, promising results led to an increased interest in probiotics. Today, EcN is one of the best studied probiotics. Therefore, several mechanisms of action could be enlightened. Structural components and strain-specific products are responsible for its probiotic effects. But conclusive concepts about genes, gene products and molecular mechanisms that really contribute to the probiotic character of EcN have not been offered so far. In order to create new possibilities to elucidate the probiotic traits of EcN the genome is analysed by taking this as a basis for comparison to other E. coli genomes and identification of intestinal in vivo regulated genes using a promoter-trap-library. The sequenced EcN genome is annotated and compared to 13 other so far annotated E. coli genomes. Concerning these analyses EcN encodes 121 strain-specific genes. The genome structure including the genomic islands and prophages is highly homolog to the uropathogenic E. coli CFT073. EcN encodes most of the virulence and fitness factors that are present in E. coli CFT073. Therefore, the close relationship of these two strains is confirmed at nucleotide level. Furthermore, it is shown that in artificial systems like cell culture assays and gnotobiotic mice EcN reveals a pathogenic potential although EcN is able to decrease colonization efficiency of pathogenic bacteria. The alternative sigma factor RpoS that is responsible for global regulation and activity of several genes seems to play an important role during colonization of EcN in the intestine and its immunostimulatory effects on intestinal epithelial cells. Investigation of EcN-deletion mutants lacking genomic islands and prophages lead to the conclusion that some genomic islands may play a role for specific probiotic traits. This is the first time where a promoter-trap-library was used in conventional and gnotobiotic mice for collection of intestinal in vivo active promoters. Constructing and establishing a promoter-reporter gene assay with the bioluminescent luxCDABE operon made the investigation of selected promoters in vitro possible as well as establishing a bioluminescence assay using an In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS) for investigation of promoter activity in living mice. In this research project was shown that EcN is not a completely harmless probiotic. The genome structure and regulatory mechanisms of gene expression are the strain’s molecular traits that lead to probiotic activity and immunostimulatory effects. Therefore, the molecular analyses presented here, together with the complete genome sequence, are a basis for further investigations of mechanisms that are responsible for the probiotic effects of EcN

Full textMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It develops in genetically susceptible individuals when they encounter specific environmental factors. The aim of my thesis was to analyze the role of a genetic factor (Vav1R63W variant) and an environmental factor (Escherichia coli Nissle 1917) in the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS. Previous genetic studies of my team suggest the implication of a polymorphism in the Vav1 gene in the resistance of Brown-Norway rats to EAE. In order to analyze the role of the identified polymorphism in the susceptibility to EAE, we generated a Knock-In mouse bearing the same polymorphism (Vav1R63W). Using this model, we showed that Vav1R63W mice develop less severe EAE due to a defect in cytokine production by CD4 T cells. This defect is intrinsic to CD4 T cells and is not linked to the increased proportion of regulatory T cells observed in Vav1R63W mice. We also showed that Vav1R63W present an altered adaptor function as shown by reduced ERK and AKT phosphorylation and decreased calcium flux after TCR stimulation, with no effect on Vav1 enzymatic activity. Thus, our results highlight the role of Vav1 adaptor function in CD4 T cell functions and susceptibility to central nervous system inflammation. Next, I analyzed the impact of the treatment with the probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 (ECN) on EAE development. Our results showed that the daily oral treatment of adult C57BL/6 mice with ECN ameliorates the course of the disease. In addition to their defect in cytokines production, MOG specific CD4 T cells from ECN treated mice were increased in the periphery. Consequently, ECN treated mice exhibited reduced CD4 T cell infiltration in their central nervous system. Furthermore, analysis of intestinal permeability revealed that its alteration after MOG immunization was partially reversed after ECN treatment. The reduced EAE seems to be due to the secretion of a genotoxin by ECN, the colibactin. In contrast, neonatal colonization of C57BL/6 mice did not protect against EAE. Together, our data showed a beneficial role of the imbalance of Vav1 function and ECN treatment in EAE development. Further analysis of the involved mechanisms will help us to better understand the pathogenesis of MS and to develop new therapeutic strategies for MS

Full textNumerous studies have highlighted the importance of intestinal microbiota in the physiology and physiopathology of the host. Bacteria, the most represented microorganisms of the microbiota, contribute to the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis by regulating several essential functions ranging from the protection of the intestinal barrier to the development of the immune system. Impairment in the composition and diversity of this microbiota have been observed in pathologies of digestive tract such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. In order to restore intestinal homeostasis, therapies using probiotic bacteria were used. Among probiotic bacteria tested, Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (E. coli Nissle 1917) has been used for its anti-diarrheal, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of action involved in these therapeutic effects remain unknown. In order to study them, we used two approaches in mass spectrometry to analyse bacterial lipids. A first untargeted approach, allowed us to highlight the production of lipopeptides including C12AsnGABAOH composed by a fatty acid of 12 carbons, an asparagine and GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the nervous system. This lipopeptide was produced by enzymes encoded by genes of a cluster call the pks island. In contrast to GABA alone, C12AsnGABAOH crosses the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) in vitro and in vivo. The addition of the aminolipid by the bacteria confer to the GABA the ability to reach sensory nerve endings. This lipopeptide decreased neuronal activation induced by activation of nociceptors in sensory neuron primary cultures via the GABAB receptor. In vivo, it inhibited visceral hypersensitivity induced by activation of nociceptors in mice. In a second study, we carried out a mass spectrometry targeted approaches looking for hydroxylated long chain fatty acids (LCFA) in different strains of E. coli. C18-3OH a LCFA of 18 carbons with a hydroxylation on its third position was produced in higher amounts by E. coli Nissle 1917 independently of the pks island. The C18-3OH was not able to cross the IEB and accumulated in cells in vitro, in tissues ex vivo and in colon in vivo. In tissues, C18-3OH modulated the expression of genes regulated by PPAR-γ receptor. Finally, in a DSS-induced colitis in mice, C18-3OH decreased paracellular permeability and inflammatory parameters. These thesis works allowed us to demonstrate for the first time that E. coli Nissle 1917 could signal to host cells by secreting lipopeptides and LCFAs. Two of them C12AsnGABAOH and C18-3OH were bioactive molecules. C12AsnGABAOH inhibited visceral hypersensitivity and C18-3OH reduced the inflammatory status of intestinal epithelial cells. These lipid compounds could be involved in the probiotic effects exerted by E. coli Nissle 1917 and represent therapeutic agents in the treatment of visceral pain and intestinal inflammation

Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät I, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/15941.
Full textIn this study, the effects of the probiotic E. coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) on host cell infection with atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (aEPEC) were investigated in an in vitro porcine intestinal epithelial cell model (IPEC-J2). In pre-incubation experiments, EcN drastically reduced the infection efficiencies of aEPEC. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, it was shown that EcN inhibited the attachment and formation of microcolonies, but not the formation of attaching and effacing lesions by adherent aEPEC. The inhibitory effect was mediated by the adherent properties of EcN to epithelial cells. The F1C fimbriae were identified as the most important adhesion factor of EcN in vitro. Furthermore, the H1 flagellae were also shown to be involved in the adhesion of EcN, serving as bridges between bacterial cells. Co-incubation of culture supernatants of EcN reduced the infection efficiencies of aEPEC to the same extent as in pre-incubation with EcN bacteria, indicating the secretion of an inhibitory factor by EcN. This factor was also secreted by other pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli strains in shaking culture and therefore does not appear to be specific for EcN. However, the outstanding ability of EcN to adhere to epithelial cells largely contributes to the secretion of sufficient concentrations of this inhibitory factor und to the influence on the aEPEC infection. The results suggest that EcN interferes with the initial adhesion of aEPEC to host cells. The inhibitory effect of EcN was found to be time-dependent. In contrast to pre-incubation experiments, co- and post-incubation of EcN actually increased the adhesion efficiencies of aEPEC and showed only minor effects on microcolony formation. This second effect of EcN on aEPEC adhesion, possibly due to a second factor, appears only to be effective when the putative inhibitory factor is either present at low concentrations or after aEPEC is already adherent to host cells.

Enteritidis PT4, reduction of the mortality rate, total aerobic bacterial counts, Gram negative bacterial counts, bdellovibrio bacterial counts and body weight of Specific Pathogen Free chickens were investigated. A significant reduction in the colonization of S. Enteritidis PT4 in the caecum of trial groups at 14, 21 and 28 days old in comparison to the positive control group was observed. A reduction in mortality rate in the trial groups was seen in comparison to the positive control group which had 10 %. The total aerobic and Gram negative bacterial counts were significantly decreased in the trial groups at 28 days old in comparison to the positive control group. Bdellovibrio bacterial counts were significantly increased in the trial groups in comparison to the control groups. No significant difference was seen in the mean body weight of the trial groups in comparison to control groups. 2- The effect of oral application of E. coli strain Nissle 1917 with Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on reisolation rate of S. Enteritidis from different parts of the intestinal tract and organs of SPF chickens was investigated. A reduction in the S. Enteritidis reisolation rate was seen from crop, proventriculus, duodenum, heart blood, lungs, livers and spleens of the trial groups in comparison to the positive control group but not from the caecum. 3- The effect of oral application of E. coli strain Nissle 1917 and Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on the serum avidin levels, IgY against S. Enteritidis and IgY against E. coli strain Nissle 1917 levels of SPF chickens experimentally infected with S. Enteritidis was investigated. A significant reduction in the serum avidin levels was observed in the trial groups at 7 days old in comparison to the positive control group. The antibody levels against S. Enteritidis was significantly increased in the trial group at 7 days old in comparison to the positive control group. A significant increase at day 7 in the antibody levels against E. coli strain Nissle 1917 was seen in the trial group in comparison to the positive control group. 4- The effect of oral application E. coli Nissle 1917 with and without plasmid on reduction on the colonization of S. Enteritidis PT4, reduction of the mortality rate, total aerobic bacterial counts, Gram negative bacterial counts, bdellovibrio bacterial counts, Lactobacillus-Bifidobacterium counts, C. perfringens bacterial counts and body weight of SPF chickens were investigated. A significant reduction in the colonization of S. Enteritidis PT4 in the caecum of trial groups at 7, 21 and 28 days old in comparison to the positive control group was observed. No mortalities were seen in the both trial groups in comparison to the positive control group which had 15 % mortalities. The total aerobic and Gram negative bacterial counts were significantly decreased in the trial groups at 21 and 28 days respectively old in comparison to the positive control group. No significant difference was observed in bdellovibrio isolation from the trial groups in comparison to the control group. Lactobacillus-Bifidobacterium bacterial counts were significantly increased in the trial groups at 7, 14 and 21 days old in comparison to the positive control group. A significant reduction in C. perfringens bacterial counts were seen in the trial groups at 7 and 14 days old in comparison to positive control group. No significant difference was observed in the mean body weight of the trial groups in comparison to control groups. 5- The effect of oral application E. coli Nissle 1917 with and without plasmid on the reisolation of S. Enteritidis from different parts of intestinal tract and organs of SPF chickens was investigated. A reduction in the S. Enteritidis reisolation rate was seen from crop, proventriculus, duodenum, caecum, heart blood, lungs, livers and spleens of the trial groups in comparison to the positive control group. 6- The effect of oral application E. coli Nissle 1917 with and without plasmid on the serum avidin levels, IgY against S. Enteritidis and IgY against E. coli strain Nissle 1917 levels of SPF chickens experimentally infected with S. Enteritidis were investigated. No significant reduction in the serum avidin levels were seen in the trial groups in comparison to the positive control group. The antibody levels against S. Enteritidis were significantly increased in the trial groups at 21 and 28 days old in comparison to the positive control group. A significant increase in the antibody levels against E. coli strain Nissle 1917 were seen in the trial groups in comparison to the positive control group. 7- From the results observed in the first and second experiments we concluded that probiotic strain E. coli Nissle 1917 can successfully colonize the caecum of SPF chickens from 7 to 28 days old. Oral appliction of probiotic strain E. coli Nissle 1917 has significantly reduced the S. Enteritidis colonization, total and Gram negative bacterial counts, mortality rate, reisolation rate of S. Enteritidis in organs and the intestinal tract except the caecum in first experiment in the trial groups in comparison to positive control. The combination between E. coli strain Nissle 1917 and B. bacteriovorus had not achieved the desirable effects in the first experiment which observed by many authors in vitro. Bdellovibrio was significantly increased in the trial groups of the first experiment in comparison to the second experiment. This may be a possible effect of Bdellovibrio which is yet to be confirmed. No significant difference was observed in the mean body weight in both experiment. A significant reduction of serum avidin levels were observed in the trial groups of the first experiment but not in the second experiment. We have observed a significant improvement in the immune system of the birds as a results of oral application of E. coli strain Nissle 1917. 8- Antagonistic effect of E. coli Nissle 1917 with and without plasmid on the growth rate of the S. Enteritidis PT4 in vitro was investigated. We concluded that E. coli Nissle 1917 with and without plasmid successfully reduced the growth rate of S. Enteritidis in comparison to the control one

Full textMicroorganisms that inhabit the mammalian intestine are called microbiota, which performs important functions for the host. Changes in microbiota composition are the basis of various pathologies. Thus, probiotic administration is seen as a preventive or therapeutic strategy. To deep in molecular aspects of probiotic/ intestinal epithelium cross-talk, we addressed studies to characterize proteins secreted by the probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). Proteomic analysis of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and the global secretome of EcN indicated that the identified proteins perform functions related to adhesion, immune system modulation or bacterial survival in host niches. Proteomic analysis of OMVs showed that the growth medium influences the protein composition of these vesicles, which can affect the type and variety of functions associated with these structures. One protein identified in the EcN secretome was Sat (serine protease autotransporter toxin). This protein has been proposed to act as a virulence factor in pathogens but its role in probiotic strains has not been addressed so far. Our aim was to characterize Sat from EcN to establish whether it is a virulence or a fitness factor that contribute to better colonization of gut. Our results show that Sat is expressed and secreted as an active serine protease. Its effect on paracellular permeability seems to be compensated by other factors secreted by this probiotic. Moreover, Sat does not display cytotoxic activity on polarized Caco-2 cells. Analysis of biofilm formation and studies using murine models allowed us to establish that Sat is not required for intestinal colonization. However, in vivo colonization competition experiments showed that the EcNsat::cm outcompete the wild type strain. In vitro experiments confirmed that EcNsat::cm is able to displace in planktonic growth wild type EcN as well as enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). Results presented rule out that Sat is a virulence factor in strain EcN.

Full textThe implantation of Escherichia coli in the gut results from global adaptive strategies that allow the bacteria to survive in the changing environment of the intestine. At the metabolic level, recent findings indicate that colonisation is mainly related to the utilization of sugars and sugar derivatives through glycolytic pathways. In contrast, persistence of E. coli in the gut is supported by less favorable substrates, including small organic acids. The use of the latter compounds requires activation of gluconeogenic pathways, and efficient switching between glycolytic and gluconeogenic carbon sources is likely to be a major feature of successful adaptation to life in the intestine. These adaptive processes are controlled by highly sophisticated regulatory networks, such as the Csr (carbon storage regulator) system which is the main post-transcriptional regulator in E. coli. Csr was found to control a broad range of phenotypes allowing E. coli to successfully implant and persist in the gut, such as biofilm formation, motility as well as many functions involved in carbon nutrition, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, acetate and glycogen metabolism. Although Csr is likely to play an important role in the adaptation of bacteria to the nutritional context of the host, it is poorly understood sofar. In this work, we investigate the role of the Csr system in the control of E. coli metabolism on physiologically-relevant carbon sources representative of the main glycolytic (Entner-Doudoroff pathway, pentose phosphate pathway, glycolysis) and gluconeogenic pathways of E. coli. This work was carried out on two E. coli strains with distinct implantation capabilities : the K12 MG1655 laboratory strain and the Nissle 1917strain, an efficient colonizer of the gut belonging to the highly competitive B2phylogenetic group. First, we designed a complete methodology (metabolomics and 13C-metabolic flux analysis) for quantitative, system-level investigations of the actual operation of E. coli metabolism. Then, we performed detailed, system-level investigations of wild-type strains and Csr mutants. This work provides valuable information regarding systemic properties of E. coli metabolism, and identifies metabolic specificities of the Nissle 1917strain likely involved in its competitiveness in the gut. The role of Csr appears to be qualitatively and quantitatively the same in both K12 MG1655 and Nissle 1917 strains. We show that i) Csr enhances the utilisation of a broad spectrum of glycolytic and gluconeogenic carbon sources, ii) Csr controls a range of metabolic pathways wider than expected from its known target enzymes, and iii) the actual impact of the Csr system on the central metabolism of E. coli depends on the carbon source. We also demonstrate that Csr controls energy and redox metabolism in E. coli. Csr enhances the production of ATP and of reduced cofactors (NADH and NADPH), and we suggest that it also may control the catabolism-anabolism balance in E. coli. Finally, our results reinforce the potential role of the Csr system in the global adaptation of the bacterium to the gut environment

Full textAs doenças inflamatórias intestinais (IBD) são processos inflamatórios crônicos que acometem o intestino de indivíduos susceptíveis. Uma de suas principais formas, a colite ulcerativa (UC), restringe-se à mucosa colônica e apresenta como principais sinais clínicos perda de peso, sangramento retal e diarreia. Tais manifestações clínicas apresentam períodos de remissões e recidivas, não existindo cura. A atenção atualmente para o tratamento da UC está voltada para os probióticos, dentre os quais a Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) merece grande destaque por apresentar efeitos comparáveis ao da droga de escolha no tratamento da UC branda ou moderada, a mesalazina. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito probiótico da EcN em modelo murino de UC induzida por sulfato de sódio dextrano (DSS). Para isso, utilizamos fêmeas de camundongos BALB/c, com indução de colite (solução de DSS 3,5%) durante sete dias. Observou-se uma melhora significativa do grupo tratado, em comparação ao não tratado com o probiótico, em relação aos sinais clínicos da doença. O estado inflamatório gerado foi significativamente reduzido, com diminuição no recrutamento de neutrófilos e eosinófilos para o foco de inflamação, sem, entretanto, observar alteração nos níveis de macrófagos. A permeabilidade intestinal, que está tipicamente aumentada durante o acometimento das IBD, mostrou uma tendência a redução após o tratamento com a EcN. Na análise histológica referente a preservação do epitélio intestinal, o efeito benéfico do probiótico pode ser observado em 67% do n amostrado (n 2 em 3). Nenhuma diferença foi observada nas taxas de espécies reativas de oxigênio produzidas no modelo de DSS após o tratamento com o probiótico. As análises permitiram concluir que o probiótico EcN possui efeito benéfico em modelo agudo de UC, entretanto mais análises são necessárias a fim de se investigar os mecanismos pelos quais tal efeito é desempenhado.

Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glycosidic bond between two glucose molecules.Its sources include bacteria, yeast, fungi, insects, invertebrates, and plants, and it exhibits important biological functions in organisms, such as providing a source of energy and carbon and protecting organisms against environmental stresses such as drought, freezing, high temperature, and high salinity. These properties have broadened the application value of trehalose in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Trehalose synthase converts maltose into trehalose in a single step through an intramolecular conversion reaction. Maltose is a cost-effective and easily obtained substrate that has great potential for industrial production of trehalose using trehalose synthase. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 is classified as a probiotic and does not have endotoxins, in contrast to other E. coli strains; therefore, developing it as a host for expressing recombinant proteins would have high applicability. The present study constructed the T7 expression system in E. coli Nissle 1917 and used it to express recombinant thermostable trehalose synthase. In addition, the difference between this system and the pET system was evaluated, and this recombinant enzyme was used for trehalose biosynthesis. In addition, to achieve enzyme immobilization, we attached a chitin-binding domain (ChBD) gene to the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the trehalose synthase gene and evaluated the efficacy of enzyme immobilization. The results showed that using E. coli Nissle 1917 as an expression host for biosynthesis of thermostable trehalose synthase and constructing a trehalose conversion process have great potential for commercial development.

Full textShiga toxin producing E. coli strains (STEC) are a great concern to human health. Upon an infection with as few as 100 bacteria, humans can develop disease symptoms ranging from watery to bloody diarrhea or even develop the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The major factor contributing to the disease symptoms is Shiga toxin (Stx) which can bind to the eukaryotic cells in the intestine of the human and induce cell death via apoptosis. Based, among other things, on the microbiota composition, the impact of STEC can vary. Some bacteria of the microbiota can interfere with the colonization of STEC strains in the first place. Others cannot impair the colonization but interfere with the toxin production and there are still others which are even infected by stx encoding phages, being released from STEC strains. Those previously harmless bacteria subsequently contribute to the toxin increase and worsen the disease progression. Since the genetic information of Stx is encoded on a prophage, antibiotic treatment of patients can lead to an increased toxin and stx-phage release and is therefore not recommended. Several STEC epidemics in different countries, which even resulted in the death of some patients, demonstrated that there is an urgent need for alternative treatment strategies. The E. coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) has been used as a probiotic to treat gastrointestinal infections for more than 100 years. It harbors several fitness factors which contribute to the establishment of an intact intestinal barrier in the human gut. Moreover, studies with EcN unraveled that the probiotic E. coli can interfere with the colonization of STEC strains and their toxin production. This study aimed to investigate if EcN could be a possible alternative or supplementary treatment strategy for STEC infected patients, or a preventive treatment for the patient’s close contact persons. Therefore, EcN was firstly investigated for a possible stx-prophage integration into its’s genome which would eliminate it from being a potential treatment due to the possibility of disease worsening. Despite the presence of the stx-phage surface receptor YaeT, EcN demonstrated a complete resistance towards the lysis and the lysogeny by stx-phages, which was proven by PCR, phage-plaque assays and phage enrichment approaches. Transcriptome data could unravel that a lambdoid prophage in the genome of EcN is involved in the resistance towards the phage infection. Other commensal E. coli tested presented a stx-phage resistance as well and in silico analysis revealed that all of them harbor a complete lambdoid prophage besides the stx-phage susceptible K-12 strain MG1655. We assume that the resistance of EcN towards a stx-phage infection is connected to the presence of an intact lambdoid prophage which interferes with superinfection. Further experiments regarding the impact of the microcin negative EcN mutant SK22D towards STEC strains depicted that SK22D did not only interfere with the toxin production but also negatively regulated the transcription of the entire stx-prophage in coculture with all STEC strains tested (O157:H7, O26:H11, O145:H25, O103:H2, O111:H- and two O104:H4 isolates from the 2011 outbreak in Germany). This influence on the pathogenic factor production was evinced to be cell contact independent as SK22D could even interfere with the pathogenic factor production when being separated from the STEC strain EDL933 by a Transwell membrane with the pore size of 0.4 µm. From this data we concluded, that factor(s) released by SK22D interfere with the lysis of STEC strains by stabilizing the lysogenic state. Another positive aspect of EcN towards the pathogenicity of STEC strains was encountered when EcN was incubated with isolated stx-phages. The probiotic strain could reduce the infectivity of the phages towards a MG1655 lysis from ~ 1e7 pfus/ml to 0 after 44 h of incubation. Various approaches to determine the characteristics of the factor(s) of EcN which are involved in the phage inactivation depicted it to be a heat resistant stationary phase protein on the surface of EcN, which could be a component of its biofilm. Regarding the protective role of EcN we could further evince that SK22D was capable of interfering with the lysogenic K 12 mediated increase of Stx and stx phages. Lysogenic K-12 strains were characterized by a huge increase of Stx and stx-phage production. The presence of SK22D anyhow, could interfere with this K-12 mediated pathogenic factor increase. Transwell and stx phage infection kinetics led to the proposal that SK22D interfered with the stx-phage infection of K-12 strains in the first place rather than disturbing the lysis of lysogenic K 12. The protection from the phage infection could be due to the growth of K 12 strains within the SK22D culture, whereby the phage susceptible strains are masked from phage detection. Summarizing, this work could underline the beneficial attributes of EcN towards the STEC pathogenicity in vitro. These results should be considered as pioneers for future in vivo studies to enable EcN medication as a supportive STEC infection treatment strategy

Full textThe probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) is one of the few probiotics licensed as a medication in several countries. Best documented is its effectiveness in keeping patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (UC) in remission. This might be due to its ability to induce the production of human beta defensin 2 (HBD2) in a flagellin-dependent way in intestinal epithelial cells. In contrast to ulcerative colitis, for Crohn´s disease (CD) convincing evidence is lacking that EcN might be clinically effective, most likely due to the genetically based inability of sufficient defensin production in CD patients. As a first step in the development of an alternative approach for the treatment of CD patients, EcN strains were constructed which were able to produce human alpha-defensin 5 (HD5) or beta-defensin 2 (HBD2). For that purpose codon-optimized defensin genes encoding either the proform with the signal sequence or the mature form of human alpha defensin 5 (HD5) or the gene encoding HBD2 with or without the signal sequence were cloned in an expression vector plasmid under the control of the T7 promoter. Synthesis of the encoded defensins was shown by Western blots after induction of expression and lysis of the recombinant EcN strains. Recombinant mature HBD2 with an N-terminal His-tag could be purified by Ni-column chromatography and showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes. In a second approach, that part of the HBD2-gene which encodes mature HBD2 was fused with yebF gene. The resulting fusion protein YebFMHBD2 was secreted from the encoding EcN mutant strain after induction of expression. Presence of YebFMHBD2 in the medium was not the result of leakage from the bacterial cells, as demonstrated in the spent culture supernatant by Western blots specific for ß-galactosidase and maltose-binding protein. The dialyzed and concentrated culture supernatant inhibited the growth of E. coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes in radial diffusion assays as well as in liquid coculture. This demonstrates EcN to be a suitable probiotic E. coli strain for the production of certain defensins

Full textEscherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is one of the best studied and characterized probiotic bacterial strains. It is in use as a drug since the beginning of last century to treat various diseases and dysfunctions of the human intestinal tract, e.g. diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases and obstipation. The flagellum of EcN mediates motility and is able to induce human beta defensin 2 (hBD2) production by epithelial cells. Therefore, this organelle is directly involved in EcN’s probiotic function. It has been shown that the flagella of several other bacteria, including the probiotic strain Bacillus cereus CH or the pathogenic strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Clostridium difficile, mediate adhesion to intestinal mucus, which is secreted by epithelial cells. However it remained unclear which part of the flagella binds to which mucus component. The ability to adhere efficiently to host tissue is considered to be an important attribute for a probiotic strain. Ex vivo adhesion studies with cryosections of human gut biopsies have revealed, that the flagellum of EcN must be involved in efficient adhesion to human intestinal tissue. Thus, the function of EcN’s flagellum as an adhesin was investigated in this work. First, the hyperflagellated variant EcN ATHF was isolated and characterized by several experiments, e.g. motility tests and electron microscopy. Further ex vivo adhesion studies with EcN ATHF demonstrated a higher adhesion efficiency of this hyperflagellated variant confirming the role of the flagellum for adhesion of EcN to cryosections of human gut biopsies. Interestingly, EcN’s flagellum did not function as an adhesin in in vitro adhesion studies with the human epithelial cells Caco-2 and T24. These differences between the in vitro and ex vivo studies led to the assumption, that in vivo the flagellum of EcN mediates adhesion to mucus, which is not produced by Caco-2 and T24 cells, but was shown to be present in the cryosections of human gut biopsies. This was confirmed by in vitro adhesion studies with the mucin-producing epithelial cell line LS174-T, as flagella were essential for efficient adhesion to these cells. Furthermore, preincubation of flagellated EcN strains with mucin2 (porcine stomach) reduced their adhesion effiency to cryosections of human gut biopsies. To demonstrate the direct interaction between flagella from EcN wildtype and mucus, an ELISA was established. A direct concentration-dependent interaction between isolated flagella from EcN wildtype and mucin2 as well as human mucus (Colon) could be observed. In contrast, there was no direct interaction between isolated flagella from EcN wildtype and murine mucus (Duodenum, Ileum, Ceacum, Colon), indicating that mucus composition varies among different species. By testing different carbohydrates - known to be constituents of mucus - for their interaction with the flagellum of EcN, gluconate was identified as one receptor. Preincubation of isolated flagella with gluconate significantly reduced their interaction with mucin2 or human mucus. Additionally, the surface exposed domain D3 of flagellin, the major subunit of the flagellum, could be excluded to be responsible for the interaction with mucin2 or human mucus. Flagella, which were isolated from a domain D3 deficient mutant, bound even more efficient to mucin2 as well as to human mucus. Furthermore the change of pH had significant effects on the interaction between mucus and isolated flagella, probably due to conformational changes. In summary, this study identified the flagellum as a novel and apparently major adhesin in vivo of the probiotic EcN by employing a hyperflagellated variant, a ΔfliC mutant as well as the corresponding complemented strain. Additionally, EcN is so far the first probiotic strain, for which it has been shown, that its flagella directly bind to human mucus. Thereby the mucus component gluconate was identified as an important receptor. As some pathogens have been reported to use their flagella for adhesion to human host tissue, this organelle might enable EcN to compete with pathogens for successful colonization of the gut, which has been postulated to be a prerequisite for probiotics

Full textBislang wurden die kompletten Genomsequenzen von mehr als 100 Bakterien ermittelt. Mehr als ein Drittel dieser Organismen wird als pathogen eingestuft. Die Verfügbarkeit dieser Sequenzinformation vergrößert unser Wissen über die bakterielle Genomstruktur und – plastizität sowie über mikrobielle Diversität und Evolution. Diese Daten bilden die Grundlage für viele Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Biotechnologie, der industriellen-, Umwelt- und medizinischen Mikrobiologie: neuartige Typisierung-, Diagnostik- und Therapieansätze sowie die Entwicklung neuer Medikamente und Impfstoffe basieren auf und profitieren von der ständig zunehmenden Menge an DNA-Sequenzen. Genomanalysen sind zusammen mit anderen molekularbiologischen Methoden wie PCR, DNA-Chiptechnologie, subtraktive Hybridisierung und Proteomanalysen von zunehmender Bedeutung für die Erforschung von Infektionskrankheiten und das öffentliche Gesundheitswesen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Analyse der Genomstruktur und des Genominhaltes des apathogenen Escherichia coli Stammes Nissle 1917 (O6:K5:H1) und der Vergleich mit verfügbaren Daten verschiedener pathogener und apathogener E. coli Stämme sowie anderer eng-verwandter Spezies. Eine Cosmid-Genbank des Stammes Nissle 1917 wurde nach Klonen durchsucht, die für Fitnessfaktoren kodieren, welche zur erfolgreichen Kolonisierung des menschlichen Verdauungstraktes und zum probiotischen Charakter dieses Stammes beitragen. Vier genomische Inseln (GEI I-IVNissle 1917) wurden nachgewiesen und charakterisiert. Auf diesen GEIs befinden sich verschiedene bekannte Fitness-Determinanten (mch/mcm, foc, iuc, kps, ybt), bislang nicht charakterisierte ORFs, mobile genetische Elemente und bislang für den Stamm Nissle 1917 nicht beschriebene Gene, die möglicherweise zur Fitness und Adaptabilität dieses Stammes beitragen. Die GEIs I-IVNissle 1917 sind jeweils mit einem tRNAGen assoziiert und ähneln hinsichtlich ihrer Struktur und chromosomalen Lokalisation entsprechenden Inseln im Genom des uropathogenen E. coli Stammes CFT073 (O6:K2(?):H1). Interessanterweise fehlen auf diesen wichtige Virulenzgene uropathogener E. coli (hly, cnf, prf/pap). Eine etwa 30 kb große Region der GEI IINissle 1917, die von IS2 Elementen flankiert wird, kann spontan deletieren, was zum Verlust verschiedener Fitnessdeterminanten (iuc, sat, iha) führt. Darüber hinaus wurde der chromosomale Sequenzkontext von tRNA-Genen mittels PCR auf die Integration von „Fremd-DNA“ hin untersucht, die durch horizontalen Gentransfer erworben wurde (tRNA Screening), und mit denen anderer apathogener und pathogener E. coli Stämme verglichen. Der genomweite Anteil an tRNA-Gen-assoziierter, möglicherweise horizontal erworbener DNA, die im I. Summary 2 apathogenen E. coli K-12 Stamm MG1655 fehlt, unterschied sich dabei nicht bedeutend im Stamm Nissle 1917 und den uropathogenen E. coli O6 Stämmen CFT073 und 536. Die Verbreitung von DNA-Regionen der GEIs des Stammes Nissle 1917 wurde mittels PCR bei apathogenen E. coli-Isolaten sowie bei uropathogenen E. coli O6:K5-Isolaten untersucht. Nur zwei UPEC O6:K5-Isolate enthielten alle GEI-Bereiche, die in diese Untersuchung einbezogen waren, unterschieden sich jedoch vom Stamm Nissle 1917 durch ihre Phänotypen. Die Makrorestriktionsanalyse der Genomstruktur des E. coli Stammes Nissle 1917 zeigte, daß letztere der des uropathogenen E. coli Stammes CFT073 sehr ähnelt. Um die Ursache für den semi-rauhen Phänotyp des Stammes Nissle 1917 zu untersuchen, wurden die wa* und wb* Determinanten dieses Stammes, die für die LPS-Biosynthese verantwortlich sind, kloniert und sequenziert. Das bislang unbekannte Serotyp O6-spezifische O-Antigenpolymerase-kodierende Gen wzy des Stammes Nissle 1917 wurde charakterisiert und mit dem des rauhen O6 Stammes 536 verglichen. Eine Punktmutation, die zu einem vorzeitigen Translationsstop der wzy-Transkripte des Stammes Nissle 1917 führt, wurde als Ursache für den semi-rauhen Phänotyp und damit auch die Serumsensitivität dieses Stammes verantwortlich gemacht. Zur Untersuchung der Kolonisierungsfähigkeit des E. coli Stammes Nissle 1917 wurden verschiedene Faktoren, die an der Biofilmbildung bzw. am multizellulären Verhalten beteiligt sind, sequenziert und näher analysiert. Die Seqenzierung der fim Determinante zeigte, daß das fimB Gen, das für die Expression der Typ 1-Fimbrien benötigt wird, durch die Insertion eines IS-Elementes inaktiviert wurde. Untersuchungen zum multizellulären Verhalten zeigten, daß der Stamm Nissle 1917 den sogenannten „rdar“ Morphotyp, hervorgerufen durch Expression von Curli-Fimbrien und Cellulose, bei 30 °C und bei 37 °C exprimiert, nicht jedoch die uropathogenen E. coli Stämme 536 und CFT073. Das Cellulosebiosynthese-Operon (bcs) sowie das Gen rfaH, das für einen Transkriptionsantiterminator kodiert, wurden im Stamm Nissle 1917 inaktiviert, um deren Bedeutung für den „rdar“ Morphotyp zu untersuchen. Während Cellulose für die Expression des „rdar“ Morphotyps benötigt wird, hatte die rfaHInaktivierung keinen Einfluß auf dieses mulizelluläre Verhalten des E. coli Stammes Nissle 1917. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, daß der apathogene E. coli Stamm Nissle 1917 durch eine spezifische Kombination phänotypischen Eigenschaften gekennzeichnet ist, die ihn von anderen bislang untersuchten E. coli Stämmen unterscheidet. An der Evolution dieses Stammes, möglicherweise aus einem pathogenen „Vorfahren“, waren vielfältige Gentransfer- und Deletionsprozesse sowie Punktmutationen beteiligt

Full textDue to extensive studies in the last decades and its centennial application as a pharmaceutical, E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is among the best characterized probiotics. EcN is used as remedy for remission maintenance of ulcerative colitis, chronic obstipation and diarrhea in children. The enteroaggregative – haemorrhagic - E. coli (EAHEC) strain O104:H4 was responisible for one of the biggest outbreaks of EHEC recorded so far, that took place in Germany in 2011. Currently, there is no effective prophylaxis or treatment available for EHEC infections in humans. Therefore, alternative therapeutics are desperately needed. The antagonistic effects of EcN on pathogenic E. coli strains like the EHEC O157:H7 strain EDL933 or clinical isolates of EAHEC O104:H4 were investigated in this study. The influence of EcN on adhesion to human epithelial cell lines, the growth and the Shiga toxin production of pathogenic strains were analysed. Furthermore, the resistence of EcN against Shiga toxin phages was proven. Initially, the adhesion efficiency of EcN and pathogenic E. coli strains were determined in monocultures. EcN showed the lowest number of adhering bacteria to Caco-2 and LS-174T cells. This was insofar surprising, since probiotics are expected to adhere more efficiently to epithelial cells than pathogens. Regardless of this fact, it could be shown that EcN is inhibiting the adhesion of two EAHEC O104:H4 isolates, the closely related EAEC strain 55989 and the EHEC O157:H7 strain EDL933 to both cell lines. The microzins M and H47, which are produced by EcN, can be held responsible for a fraction of the observed anti-adhesive effect of EcN. The Microzins were also identified as the only substance that was influencing the growth of the pathogenic E. coli strains. One of the most important virulence factors of EHEC and EAHEC strains is Shiga toxin. In this study could be shown, that EcN is inhibiting the Shiga toxin production of the most common EHEC strains (big five: O157:H7, O26:H11, O103:H2, O111:H-, O145:H25) and two clinical isolates of EAHEC O104:H4 in the cell culture medium DMEM. Interesingly, the Shiga toxin 1 production of EHEC O103:H2 and O111:H- was not only reduced by EcN, but also the E. coli K-12 strain MG1655. In contrast, the Stx2 production of the serotypes O104:H4, O26:H11, O145:H25 was only blocked by EcN. The reduction of the Shiga toxin production in EAHEC O104:H4 TY3730 und TY3456, as well as EHEC O26:H11 was partly dependent on the microcin production of EcN. No influence of microzins on the Stx production of EHEC O157:H7 EDL933 and EHEC O145:H25 was detected. When using LB-medium instead of DMEM-medium, no influence of microzin on the Shiga toxin production of neither EAHEC TY3730 and TY3456, nor EHEC EDL933 could be shown. Experiments with SCEM-medium also resulted in an EcN-dose-dependent inhibition of Shiga toxin production of pathogenic E. coli strains in co-culture with EcN. In order to investigate the mechanism responsible for the observed effects, the EcN mutant EcN::luxS was used in co-culture experiments. However, the deletion of the quorum sensing molecule AI-2 in EcN::luxS had no influence on the Stx production. Using acetate in the experiments did not, in contrast to published results, lead to a reduction of Shiga toxin production. In addition, an influence of EcN on lysis of EHEC strains or the secretion of Shiga toxin could be ruled out. To study the Shiga toxin expression an assay with a bioluminescent C-P (chromosome-plasmid) reporter system was successfully established. Here, Shiga toxin expression could be monitored in real time with the strain background EHEC EDL933. Moreover, a reduction of Shiga toxin expression in co-culture with EcN could be detected. In further experiments could be shown, that EcN is not only reducing the Shiga toxin production in uninduced bacteria, but also in the Mitomycin C induced EAHEC O104:H4 strain TY3730. An important safety issue, in order to use EcN as a pharmaceutical against EHEC strains, is the resistance of EcN against Shiga toxin phages. The infection of bacteria was here investigated with phage plaque assay, stx-PCR, Stx-ELISA and K+-efflux assay. With these different methods could be successfully shown, that EcN is not infected by the tested Shiga toxin phages. A mutation in the phage receptor LamB could be a possible, but still unconfirmed, phage resistance mechanism of EcN. In summary, this study showed important antagonistic effects of EcN against pathogenic E. coli strains, which could be the foundation of new and desperately needed treatment options of EHEC infections

Full textGastrointestinale Infektionen sind jedes Jahr weltweit für eine hohe Morbidität und Mortalität beim Menschen verantwortlich. Das zunehmende Auftreten von Antibiotikaresistenzen bei gastrointestinalen Pathogenen und die Induktion von Virulenzfaktoren durch Antibiotika machen es hoch riskant Darminfektionen ausschließlich mit Antibiotika zu behandeln. Die meisten gastrointestinalen Infektionen sind mit einem Ungleichgewicht in der mikrobiellen Darmpopulation verbunden, während die Wiederherstellung des Gleichgewichts mit Probiotika zu einer Verbesserung des Gesundheitszustands führen kann. Daher gelten Probiotika als hilfreiche Unterstützung bei der Behandlung von Magen-Darm-Infektionen. E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) ist der aktive Bestandteil des probiotischen Medikaments Mutaflor® und wird seit mehr als 100 Jahren zur Behandlung verschiedener gastrointestinaler Erkrankungen eingesetzt. Mehrere Studien haben über die antagonistische Wirkung von EcN gegenüber enterohämorrhagischer E. coli (EHEC) sowohl in vitro als auch in vivo berichtet. Detaillierte Untersuchungen zu den probiotischen Mechanismen und Sicherheitsaspekten von EcN sind jedoch Voraussetzung für eine mögliche Verabreichung von EcN zur Behandlung von EHEC-infizierten Patienten oder für die Verwendung von EcN als Prophylaxe für den engsten Umkreis der infizierten Patienten. In dieser Hinsicht zielte der erste Teil dieser Studie darauf ab, die Natur und das Verhalten von EcN in Gegenwart von pathogenen oder nicht-pathogenen Bakterienstämmen zu verstehen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die Veränderungen im Transkriptom von EcN nach verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der Co-Kultur mit dem EHEC-Stamm EDL933 oder dem K-12 Stamm MG1655 untersucht. Die Transkriptomdaten zeigten eine stammspezifische Reaktion von EcN zu allen untersuchten Zeitpunkten (3 h, 5 h, 7 h und 8 h) der Co-Inkubation. Die Veränderungen in der Genregulation von EcN waren zu den primären Zeitpunkten der Co-Kultur mit EDL933 (3 h und 5 h) sehr ausgeprägt und nahmen im Laufe der Zeit allmählich ab. Während der Co-Kultur mit MG1655 hingegen, kam es erst zu späteren Zeitpunkten zu einer starken Veränderung in der Genregulation (7 h und 8 h). Diese einzigartige transkriptionelle Reaktion von EcN auf zwei verschiedene E. coli Stämme, die genetisch zu mehr als 98 % identisch sind, war verblüffend. Diese Eigenschaft von EcN kann als vorteilhaft gegenüber einem chemisch-pharmazeutischen Präparat wie einem Antibiotikum angesehen werden, welches auf alle Zielzellen identisch wirken könnte. Bakteriophagen sind einer der häufigsten Bestandteile der Darm Mikrobiota. Durch die Infektion eines probiotischen Stammes mit einem lysogenen Phagen ist es möglich, dass genetisches Material, das für pathogene Faktoren oder Antibiotikaresistenzen kodiert, übertragen wird und das Probiotikum dadurch zu einem virulent pathogenen Bakterium umgewandelt wird. Darüber hinaus könnte die Infektion durch einen lytischen Phagen zur Lyse des Probiotikums führen wodurch seine probiotische Wirkung unterbunden werden würde. Für eine erfolgreiche Besiedlung des Darms ist es daher für Probiotika entscheidend gegenüber Phagen Infektionen resistent zu sein. Um dieses Problem anzugehen, wurde im zweiten Teil der Studie die Phagen Resistenz von EcN gegenüber dem lysogenen Phagen Lambda und dem lytischen Phagen T4 untersucht. EcN zeigte eine vollständige Resistenz gegenüber den getesteten Phagen und konnte darüber hinaus die Phagen während der Co-Inkubation inaktivieren. Bei den Lambda-Phagen konnte die Resistenz auf das Vorhandensein eines Lambda-Prophagen (Prophage 3) im Genom von EcN zurückgeführt werden. Dies wurde durch das Ergebnis, dass die Überexpression eines der frühen Gene von EcNs Prophagen 3 (dem Phagen-Repressor pr) im Phagen sensitiven K-12 Stamm MG1655 zu einem partiellen Schutz gegenüber einer Lambda-Phagen Infektion führte, gestützt. Die Inaktivierung der Lambda-Phagen hingegen wurde durch die Bindung der Phagen an EcNs Rezeptor LamB vermittelt. Experimente mit lytischen T4-Phagen konnten aufzeigen, dass die K5-Polysaccharid Kapsel von EcN entscheidend für seine T4-Phagenresistenz ist, EcNs Lipopolysaccharid (LPS) wiederum die T4-Phagen inaktiviert. Abgesehen davon, dass EcN sich selbst vor Phagen Infektionen schützt, konnte gezeigt werden, dass EcN eine Phagen initiierte Lysogenie oder Lyse der getesteten K-12-Stämme verhindert. Zusammenfassend hebt diese Arbeit zwei neue positive Eigenschaften des probiotischen Stammes EcN hervor: i) die stammspezifische Reaktion, die sich aus der globalen Transkriptomanalyse von EcN während der Inkubation mit anderen E. coli-Stämmen ergab, und ii) die lytische und lysogene Phagenresistenz. Beide Merkmale sind zusätzliche Sicherheitsaspekte eines bereits gut charakterisierten probiotischen Stammes und unterstützen seine therapeutische Anwendung
