`Abstract
`
`Dermatophytes are adapted to infect skin, hair and nails by their ability to utilize keratin as a nutrient source. Tric/zap/zyton rubrmn is an
`anthropophilic fungus, causing up to 90% of chronic cases of dermatophytosis. The understanding of the complex interactions between the fun-
`gus and its host should include the identification of genes expressed during infection. To identify the genes involved in the infection process,
`representational difference analysis (RDA) was applied to two CDNA populations from T. rubrum, one transcribed from the RNA of fungus
`cultured in the presence of keratin and the other from RNA generated during fungal growth in minimal medium. The analysis identified differ-
`entially expressed transcripts. Genes related to signal transduction, membrane protein, oxidative stress response, and some putative virulence
`factors were up-regulated during the contact of the fungus with keratin. The expression patterns of these genes were also verified by real-
`time PCR, in conidia of T. rubrum infecting primarily cultured human keratinocytes in virro, revealing their potential role in the infective pro-
`cess. A better understanding of this interaction will contribute significantly to our knowledge of the process of dermatophyte infection.

`1. Introduction
`
`Dermatophytoscs are among the few fungal diseases that
`are directly communicable from person to person. Dermato-
`phytes infect mainly healthy individuals, causing infections
`of keratinized structures,
`including the skin, hair, and nails
`[1]. Dermatophytes are not part of the normal human 1nicro—
`bial flora. They are, however, particularly well adapted to in-
`fecting these tissues because, unlike most other microbial
`pathogens, they can use keratin
`a source of nutrients [2].

`
`Tric/top/'zyz‘0n rubrum is the most frequently isolated agent of
`dermatophytosis worldwide, accounting for approximately
`80% of reported cases of onychomycosis [3]. Since 90% of
`the chronic dermatophyte infections are caused mainly by
`T.
`rubrum,
`this pathogen must have evolved mechanisms
`that evade or suppress cell-mediated immunity [4].
`Despite its prevalence, little is known about the molecular
`basis of dermatophyte pathogenesis. Studies regarding the
`structure, expression, and regulation of the genes of T. rub/"um
`have been relatively limited because of its unaggressive and
`non-life—threatening nature.
`In host—pathogen interactions,
`the gene expression of the pathogen is modulated by signals
`from the host, and knowing the pattern of expression may

`
`provide insights into the disease mechanisms [5]. Few poten-
`tial T. rubrimz virulence factors have been examined in detail,
`and most of them are keratinolytic proteases.
`The understanding of the complex interactions between
`fungus and host must
`include the identification of genes
`expressed during infection. An efficient approach to the iden-
`tification of differentially expressed genes in T. rubrum in-
`volves rapid series of subtractive hybridizations of CDNA
`prepared from two cell populations. Representational differ-
`ence analysis (RDA) is a powerful and sensitive tool for the
`identification of differentially expressed genes and enables
`the isolation of both up- and down—regulated genes expressed
`in two different cDNA populations [6]. Recently, this strategy
`was applied to the differentially expressed genes of the human
`pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis during the
`host interaction, revealing a set of candidate genes that 1’. bra-
`siliensis may express to adapt to the host conditions [7].
`The aim of the present study was to identify genes differen-
`tially expressed in T. rubrum, cultured in the presence and
`absence of keratin to simulate the host infection. The role of
`these genes was corroborated by confirming their induction
`during the infective process in a primary keratinocyte cell
`culture. Our studies provide the first view of the T. rubrum
`transcriptional response to host—-pathogen interaction.
`
`2. Materials and methods
`
`2.1. Strain and culture conditions
`
`T. rubrzmz isolate ATCC 52021 (American Type Culture
`Collection) was cultured for 10 days at 25-28 °C in Sabour-
`aud’s liquid medium and transferred to two different culture
`media:
`(i) a culture referred to as “tester” in liquid Cove’s
`medium [8] supplemented with keratin (Sigma) 100 ug/mL, and
`(ii) a culture named “driver” in Cove’s minimal medium, both
`cultivated for 24 h at room temperature. As a control, a reverse ex-
`periment was conducted in which the driver RNA was extracted
`from keratin culture and the tester RNA from minimal medium.
`
`2.2. RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis
`
`Total RNA was extracted from T. rubrum cultured under
`
`each experimental condition by using the Trizol reagent (Invi-
`trogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). First strand cDNA
`synthesis was performed with reverse transcriptase (RT Super-
`script III, Invitrogen, Life Technologies) using 1 ug of total
`RNA. The first strand of cDNA was used as template to syn-
`thesize the second strand, by using the SMART PCR cDNA
`synthesis kit (Clontech Laboratories, Palo Alto, CA, USA).
`
`cDNA from RNA extracted from fungus cultured in the pres-
`ence of keratin. The resulting products were purified using
`a GFX kit (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St. Giles, UK). The
`digested tester cDNA was ligated to adapters (a 24—mer
`annealed to a 12—mer). To generate the differential products,
`tester and driver cDNAs were mixed, hybridized at 67 °C for
`18 h and amplified by PCR with the 24—mer oligonucleotide
`primer. Two successive rounds of subtraction and PCR ampli-
`fication were performed with hybridization tester—driver
`ratios of l:l0 and 1:100, respectively. Adapters were changed
`between these cross—hybridizations, and different products
`were purified using the GFX kit [9,l0].
`After the second subtractive reaction, the finally amplified
`CDNA pools were cloned directly into the pGEM-T Easy vec-
`tor (Promega, Madison, USA). Escherichia coli XL] Blue
`competent cells were transformed with the ligation products.
`Selected colonies were picked and grown in deep-well plates.
`Plasmid DNA was prepared from clones using standard proto-
`cols. In order to generate the EST (expressed sequence tags)
`sequences, single-pass, 5’—end sequencing of cDNAs by stan-
`dard fluorescence labeling dye—terminator protocols with T7
`flanking vector primer was peiformed. Samples were loaded
`onto a MegaBACE 1000 DNA sequencer (GE Healthcare)
`for automated sequence analysis.
`
`2.4. EST processing pipeline and differential
`expression analysis
`
`EST sequences were pre-processed using the Phred and
`Crossmatch (http://www.genome.washington.edu/UWGC/ana-
`lysistools/Swat.cfm) programs. Sequences with at least 100
`nucleotides and Phred quality greater than or equal
`to 20
`were considered for further analysis. ESTs were screened for
`vector sequences against
`the UniVec data, and assembled
`with the CAP3 program [11]. The filtered sequences were
`compared against the GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
`non—redundant (nr) database from the National Center for Bio-
`technology Information (NCBI) using the BLASTX program
`[12], Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG) and Gene Ontol-
`ogy (GO). MIPS (http://mips.gsf.de/) and InterPro databases
`of protein families, domains and functional sites were used
`to assign functional categories.
`
`2.5. Assay of T. rubrum—-keratinocytes interaction
`
`2.3. Subtractive hybridization and generation of
`subtracted libraries
`
`The CDNA fragments were digested with Sau3AI restric-
`tion enzyme (Promega, Madison, USA). A subtracted cDNA
`library was constructed using driver cDNA synthesized from
`RNA of T. rubrimz cultured in minimal medium and tester
`
`Cultures of keratinocytes were isolated from human breast
`skin obtained from routine plastic surgery, processed and
`kindly supplied by the Tissue Bank of the Plastic Surgery
`Department of the College of Medicine at the University of
`S510 Paulo (USP), Sao Paulo, Brazil. The cells were main-
`tained in DMEM—Fl2 (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium)
`supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal calf serum
`(Cult lab, Brazil), incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO3.
`For adherence assays, cells were seeded (in the absence of
`feeder
`fibroblasts, antibiotics, antimycotics and fetal calf
`serum) into six-well plates at a density of l.O X 106 cells/
`well and grown to confluence in DMEM—Fl2 medium.

`
`Next, 1.0 X 107 conidia/mL of T. rubrum was added to the ker-
`atinoeytes and incubated for 3 h, 8 h, 24 h and 48 h at 37 °C,
`to follow the processes of adhesion. After the period of incu-
`bation, the medium was discarded, the cells washed with phos-
`phate-buffered saline (PBS), fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde
`and stained by the May—Griinwald (Giemsa) procedure. The
`plates were examined by conventional microscopy to evaluate
`the kinetics of interaction of T. rubrum with keratinocytes.
`
`2.6. RNA extraction fronz keratinocytes
`
`Keratinocytes were plated in 25-cmz tissue culture flasks.
`The conditions of cell culture and infection were as described
`
`above, 24 h of infection being chosen for the RNA extraction.
`After this period, the cells were washed three times in PBS,
`and then incubated in PBS containing trypsin (0.2%) and
`EDTA (0.02%) for total monolayer removal. The cells were
`centrifuged at 5000;; and the pellet was recovered for RNA
`extraction, as described previously. RNA samples for experi-
`ments of dot blot, northern blot and real-time PCR were
`obtained from two independent extractions. Controls were ob-
`tained from the uninfected in vitro cultured keratinocytes.
`
`2.7. Dot blot and northern blot analysis
`
`Serial dilutions of plasmid DNA were vaeuum—spotted on
`nylon membrane and hybridized to the specific cDNAs probes,
`labeled with the Random—Prime DNA Labeling Kit
`(GE
`
`Healthcare). Hybridization was detected by the Gene Images
`CDP—Star Detection Kit (GE Healthcare).
`In the northern
`blot experiments, the RNAs (20 ttg) were fractionated by elec-
`trophoresis in 1.2% agarose—-formaldehyde gels and trans-
`ferred to nylon membrane. RNAs were hybridized to the
`corresponding cDNA probe (Gene Images CDP—Star Detection
`Kit, GE Healthcare). Probes were labeled with the Random-
`Prime Labeling Kit (GE Healthcare).
`
`2.8. Real—time PCR analysis of representative regulated
`genes in T. rubrum
`
`The reaction mixtures contained 2 uL of cDNA, 12.5 ttL of
`SYBR green ROX mixture (Applied Biosystems), and 400 nM
`of each primer, and the volume was brought to 25 ttL with
`nuclease—free water. The reaction program was 50°C for
`2 min, 95 °C for 10 min, and 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and
`the annealing and synthesis at 60°C for 1min. Following
`the PCR, melting-curve analysis was performed, which
`confirmed that the signal corresponded to a single PCR prod-
`uct. Reactions were performed in three PCR repeats with an
`Applied Biosystems 7500 cycler. Data were analyzed by the
`2"AACIi method [13]. The cycle threshold values for the dupli-
`cate PCRs for each RNA sample were averaged, and then
`2”AACT values were calculated (chsl — chitin synthase
`1 was used as the reference). This was followed by normaliza-
`tion to the value for RNA samples from T. rubrum cultured in
`the absence of keratin. A negative-control sample was used
`that contained all
`reagents except T.
`rubrum cDNA and
`
`cDNA obtained from the keratinocyte culture. After 40 rounds
`of amplification, no PCR products were detected in either
`reaction.
`
`3. Results
`
`3.1. Idel'ItlflCatl0)1 of T. rubrum genes with
`a’zfi”erential expressiotz
`
`RDA was performed on the fungus cultured in the absence
`of keratin (driver) and the presence of keratin (tester). Differ-
`ent patterns of DNA amplification were observed after two
`rounds of subtractive hybridization, as shown in Fig. 1.
`A total of 344 clones were successfully sequenced (Table 1).
`The mean size of ESTs was 364 nucleotides. Using the
`BLASTX program, 6.98% of the ESTS corresponded to pro-
`teins of unknown function, with no matches in databases. In
`addition, 94.7% of the ESTS had not been described in T. ru-
`brunz while 5.3% had been.
`
`3.2. Characterization of the subtracted cDNAs from
`T. rubrum cultured in the presence of keratin
`
`The ESTs were classified into seven groups of functionally
`related genes (Table l). The data illustrated the functional di-
`versity of these highly expressed ESTs, denoting particular

`3.4. Quantitative analysis of genes in T. rubrum by
`t'eal-tiriw PCR
`
`The fungus showed high adhesion to the cell after all the
`periods of time and conidial germination was observed in
`24 h. This time of infection was thus chosen for RNA extrac-
`
`tion during the infection (Fig. 4). To estimate the relative
`transcript
`levels of the differentially expressed products,
`a real—time PCR assay was performed. Fig. 5 shows quantifica-
`tion of the transcript levels of several differentially expressed
`genes. Among the six genes evaluated,
`the catP gene was
`induced 3.8-fold in T. rttbrtmt grown in the presence of keratin

`Fig. 2. Functional classification of T. rulmmz ESTs derived from RDA exper-
`iment. This classification was based on BLASTX homology of each EST
`against
`the GenBank nr database at a significant homology cttt—off of
`§lE—05 and MIPS functional annotation scheme. Each functional class is
`represented as a color-coded segment and expressed as a percentage of the to-
`tal number of ESTs in each library.
`
`functional categories. The most redundant cDNAs appearing
`during the contact with keratin were as follows: G—protein st1b—
`unit alpha ( gpa), ATP—dependent RNA helicase DEDI (dedl),
`homeobox transcription factor (/ixf), catalase isozyme P (catP),
`zinc finger protein (zfp) and membrane protein (mcmb), as
`shown in Table 1. A reverse cDNA—RDA experiment was
`conducted in which the driver was RNA from keratin culture
`and the tester was RNA from minimal medium culture. A total
`of 33 clones were sequenced, as control. The transcriptional
`profile did not display any similarity with that described for
`T. rztbrtmz cultured in the presence of keratin (data not shown).
`Fig. 2 depicts the classification of 19 clusters of T. I'll/7l‘Lll’Il
`ESTs according to the classification developed at MIPS.
`
`3.3. Confirmatory dtfifercntial expression of T. rubrum
`it/enti_'/ied sequences
`
`To corroborate the RDA findings, we initially performed
`dot blot analysis of T.
`rttbrtmz cDNA—RDA clones. Dot
`blots displayed a differential hybridization pattern when indi-
`vidual clones were hybridized to labeled cDNAs obtained
`from the microorganism cultured in the presence and ab-
`sence of keratin. The level of transcripts corresponding to
`cDNA clones was altered in the presence of keratin, as
`shown in Fig. 3A.
`Northern blot analysis was employed to evaluate the
`expression of some up-regulated genes. The transcripts of
`the genes encoding GPA, CATP, ZFP and MEMB were found
`to have accumulated more in the fungus cultured in the pres-
`ence of keratin (Fig. 3B).

`host conditions. Many of the genes found here have already
`been described in orthologous systems and some of them
`have functional roles during the infection process.
`In our study, we sequenced 344 clones, of which 181 were
`ESTs identifying genes encoding proteins involved in tran-
`scription processes and signal transduction. This abundance
`of ESTs for transcription and signal
`transduction proteins
`may be related to fungal growth in the keratin medium. We
`also identified some virulence factors (catalase, 30 kDa heat

`shock protein). Kaufman et al.

`menragrop/zyres cultivated on minimal medium with keratin;
`the major up—regulated transcript was thioredoxin, consistent
`with up-regulation of a catalase here.
`On the other hand, Wang et al. [14] constructed 10 different
`T. 1'14/7I‘llI7'l CDNA libraries and obtained 11,085 ESTs. The
`
`identified ESTs encoded putative proteins implicated in pri-
`mary metabolism, gene expression, post-translation processes
`and cell structure. A significant proportion of the identified
`ESTs were matched to genes involved in transcription and sig-
`nal transduction, as found in any eukaryote.
`The G—protein subunit alp/Ia (gpa) transcript was the most
`abundant (112 ESTs), in our experimental conditions, and it
`was up—regulated both during the fungal contact with keratin
`and during the interaction with keratinocytes. The over-
`expression of gpa in T. rubrum in the host-like conditions
`described here strongly suggests that GPA may play an

`
`4. Discussion
`
`The initial steps in the pathogenesis of cutaneous infections
`involve the capacity of the infecting microorganism to over-
`come physical and innate resistance factors, allowing initial
`adherence, followed by competition with the normal microbial
`flora and subsequent colonization of the cell surfaces [2]. This
`study is‘ the first to use RDA analysis to characterize changes
`in gene expression after
