iTRAQ-Based Global Proteomic Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Response to Desiccation, Low Water Activity, and Thermal Treatment.

Abstract：

:In this study, the changes in the global proteome of Salmonella in response to desiccation and thermal treatment were investigated by using an iTRAQ multiplex technique. A Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain was dried, equilibrated at high (1.0) and low (0.11) water activity (aw), and thermally treated at 75°C. The proteomes were characterized after every treatment. The proteomes of the different treatments differed in the expression of 175 proteins. On the basis of their proteomic expression profiles, the samples were clustered into two major groups, namely, "dry" samples and "moist" samples. The groups had different levels of proteins involved in DNA synthesis and transcription and in metabolic reactions, indicating that cells under either of the aw conditions need to strictly control energy metabolism, the rate of replication, and protein synthesis. The proteins with higher expression levels in moist samples were flagellar proteins (FlgEFGH), membrane proteins, and export systems (SecF, SecD, the Bam complex), as well as stress response proteins, suggesting that rehydration can trigger stress responses in moist cells. Dry samples had higher levels of ribosomal proteins, indicating that ribosomal proteins might be important for additional regulation of the cellular response, even when the synthesis of proteins is slowed down. At both aws, no differences in protein expression were observed between the thermally treated samples and the nonheated cells. In conclusion, our study indicates that the preadaptation to a dry condition was linked to increased thermal tolerance, while reversion from a dry state to a moist state induced a significant change in protein expression, possibly linked to the observed loss of thermal tolerance.IMPORTANCESalmonella enterica is able to survive in dry environments for very long periods. While it is well known that the initial exposure to desiccation is fundamental to trigger thermal tolerance in this organism, the specific physiological and molecular processes involved in this cross-protection phenomenon have not been fully characterized. Several studies have focused on the low-aw transcriptome of this pathogen when inoculated in different food matrices or on abiotic surfaces, but proteomic analyses have not been reported in the literature. Our study investigated the changes in proteomic expression in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium during desiccation, exposure to low aw, and thermal treatment. A better knowledge of the systems involved in the response to desiccation and thermal tolerance, as well as a better understanding of their interplay, is fundamental to identify the most effective combination of interventions to prevent Salmonella's contamination of foods.
