The roles of hormones in the modulation of growth and virulence genes' expressions in UPEC strains.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Host factors such as hormones are known to modulate growth, virulence and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria. In the present study, the effect of norepinephrine (NE) and estradiol (Est) on growth and expression levels of virulence genes (usp, sfa/foc, cnf1, aer) of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains C7 and C149 were investigated. METHODS:E. coli C7 and C149 were grown in serum based SAPI broth with and without three different concentrations of norepinephrine and estradiol. Growths were determined via optical density measurement in a spectrophotometer. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine gene expression levels. Statistical analyses were performed by one way Anova Tukey's post hoc-test. RESULTS:According to our results it has been shown that, growths of bacteria could be affected in the presence of hormones which are variable according to incubation period and hormones' concentrations. Up regulation of usp, sfa/foc, cnf1 were shown to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the presence of low, medium levels NE and all concentrations of Est. The expression of aer was down regulated significantly in the presence of low (p < 0.001) and medium level of Est; but all levels of NE was shown to be increased the expression of aer significantly (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The results of the present study has shown once more that host factors (norepinephrine and estradiol) could influence the growth of a bacterium as well as gene expressions.
