Chassis

sifA knock out

SifA maintains the integrity of Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) where Salmonella survive and replicate¹. The existence of SCV limits the releasing of GSDMD-N275 into cytoplasm. In addition, the growth of inhibition of ΔsifA mutant in macrophage is remarkable². Thus, we knocked out the sifA gene in order to decrease the stability of SCV and reduce the virulence of Salmonella.

ΔsifA mutant was constructed by using gene editing system based on two-step allelic exchange³.

PCR verification indicated that the chromosomal gene sifA was knocked out (Figure 1). Primers named DSIFA F and DSIFA R were used in this PCR (Figure 2).

Figure 1. PCR verification of sifA gene knock out. Lane 1 refers to ΔsifA mutant. Lane 2 refers to WT Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344 as a control.

Figure 2. DSIFA F and DSIFA R are the primers in the ORF of sifA. This pair of primers can produce a 436bp product in WT.

Safety

SifA is essential for maintaining vacuolar membrane stability. Cytosolic bacterium can be generated by the function loss of SCV. This population of bacterium was easily recognized and cleaned up by macrophage. Hence, ΔsifA mutant decreases the toxicity to the host. Microscopy demonstrated that ΔsifA mutant was defective for replication in macrophage (Figure 3).

Targeting

RGD motif can specifically bind to alpha V beta 3 (αvβ3), a well-known biomarker on the surface of tumor cells. We express RGD motif fused with OmpA to surface display it on the outer membrane of bacterial cells. Microscopy shows that bacterial cells expressed Lpp-OmpA-RGD induced by 0.1 mM IPTG can bind to αvβ3-positive MDA-MB-231 cell line (Figure 4), but cannot bind to αvβ3-negative MCF7 cell line (Figure 5). These results demonstrated that the bacterium gain the function of tumor targeting though display RGD motif.

Function of GSDMD

The N-terminal of GSDMD performs the function of cell pyroptosis

We fused eGFP with GSDMD-N275 (N-terminal 275 amino acids) and GSDMD FL (full length), respectively. Then the corresponding plasmids were transfected into Hela GSDMD knockout (KO) cell. Cell microscopy showed that the cells transfected with GSDMD-N275 underwent pyroptosis while the cells with GSDMD FL did not (Figure 6). We also tested the cell viability through an ATP assay (CellTiter-Glo^® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay) and demonstrated that GSDMD-N275 and mutants of GSDMD FL have different abilities to induce pyroptosis (Figure 7).

Figure 6. Microscopy of the Hela GSDMD KO cells transfected with pCS2-eGFP-GSDMD FL (above) and pCS2-eGFP-GSDMD-N275 (below), respectively. Pyroptotic cells are pointed by red arrow.

4. Add 50μl of transfection mix per well drop wise onto the cells in serum containing medium, and distribute evenly.
5. Gently rock the plates back and forth and from side to side.
6. If needed, replace transfection medium after 4 h by cell growth medium and return the plates to the incubator.
Observation is taken after 1.5 h.

4. Equilibrate the plate and its contents at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes after 20 h.
5. Add a volume of CellTiter-Glo^® Reagent equal to the volume of cell culture medium present in each well. (add 100 μl of reagent to 100 μl of medium containing cells for a 96-well plate).
6. Mix contents for 2 minutes on an orbital shaker to induce cell lysis.
7. Allow the plate to incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes to stabilize luminescent signal.
8. Record luminescence.

Induce the expression of GSDMD-N275

Intracellular environment-dependent expression

P_sifA is a intracellular environment-dependent promoter. SipD is required for bacterial internalization. ΔsipD mutant cannot enter host cells. Thus, we use this strain as a control. Microscopy suggested that only intracellular bacteria express eGFP which is under the control of P_sifA (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Microscopy of hela GSDMD KO cells infected with the ΔsipD or ΔsifA mutant, respectively. These mutants contain low copy number plasmids to express eGFP which was regulated by P_sifA.

Method

2. Count the cells using a hemocytometer. Seed in 24-well (9× 10^4 per well) and grow overnight.

ATc-dependent expression

GSDMD-N275 can lyse bacteria

Expression of the N-terminal of GSDMD fused with eGFP (eGFP-GSDMD-N275) in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium str. SL1344 ΔsifA is under the control of P_tet. The colony-forming unit (CFU) was measured for counting the number of viable bacterial cells (Figure 9). This result shows that eGFP-GSDMD-N275 exhibits cytotoxicity in bacteria.

Figure 9. CFU comparison between the SL1344 ΔsifA cells with eGFP-GSDMD-N275 plasmid and with the empty vector. In each group, ATc (15μg/ml) was added into medium when bacterium grew to logarithmic phase (OD = 0.6~0.8). Vector refers to bacterium containing a high copy number plasmid which only expresses TetR under the control of P_tet. CFU for vector and eGFP-GSDMD-N275 are shown in the logarithmic form (log10) (n=3).

Method

1. Bacteria are cultured overnight in LB broth containing corresponding antibiotics, and dilute each 1 volume overnight cultures with 100 volume fresh LB containing antibiotics. Culture in 37℃ 200 rpm.
2. When OD reaching to 0.6-0.8, add anhydrotetracycline with final concentration of μg/ml to induce the expression of EGFP-GSDMD-N275.
3. Take 100 μl diluted culture to plate on LB agar plates containing appropriate concentration of antibody after 1.5 hours of induce.
Observation is taken overnight.

GSDMD-N275 from lytic bacteria induces host cell pyroptosis

Expression of the N-terminal of GSDMD fused with eGFP (eGFP-GSDMD-N275) is under the control of tet promoter in ΔsifA SL1344. Hela GSDMD KO cells were infected with ΔsifA SL1344. Inducer ATc (16μg/mL) were added 3h after infection. Microscopy shows that eGFP-GSDMD-N275 located in cytoplasm after 5 min of induction and triggered pyroptosis after 30 min of induction (Figure 10). After 1.5 h of induction, Hela GSDMD KO cells underwent second necrosis caused by bacterial infection without inducer. Morphology of this process is similar to pyroptosis⁴. Thus, the population of ruptured cells was counted. There is 1.96 fold change between control group and induced group (Figure 11). So the pyroptosis of host cell in the induced group was triggered by eGFP-GSDMD-N275 not by bacterial infection.

In these experiments, the choice of MOI (multiplicity of infection) and infection time were directed by Modeling.

Figure 10. Hela GSDMD KO cells were infected with ΔsifA SL1344 containing high copy number plasmids which express eGFP-GSDMD-N275 under the control of ATc. Photographs were captured 5 min, 30 min, 90 min after induction, respectively.

+                    addition,
+                    the growth of inhibition of Δ<i>sifA</i> mutant in macrophage is remarkable<sup>2</sup>. Thus, we
+                    knocked out the
+                    <i>sifA</i> gene in order to decrease the stability of SCV and reduce the virulence of <i>Salmonella</i>.
+                </p>
+                <p>Δ<i>sifA</i> mutant was constructed by using gene editing system based on two-step allelic exchange<sup>3</sup>.</p>
+                <p>PCR verification indicated that the chromosomal gene <i>sifA</i> was knocked out (<b>Figure 1</b>).
+                    Primers named

+.5 h
+                    of induction, Hela GSDMD KO cells underwent second necrosis caused by bacterial infection without
+                    inducer. Morphology of this process is similar to pyroptosis<sup>4</sup>. Thus, the population of
+                    ruptured
+                    cells was counted. There is 1.96 fold change between control group and induced group (<b>Figure 11</b>).
+                    So
+                    the pyroptosis of host cell in the induced group was triggered by eGFP-GSDMD-N275 not by bacterial
+                    infection.</p>
