摘要
Work with pathogens like Vibrio cholerae has shown major differences between genes expressed in bacteria grown in vitro and in vivo. To explore this subject for commensals, we investigated the transcription of the Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC533 genome during in vitro and in vivo growth using the microarray technology. During broth growth, 537, 626, and 277 of the 1,756 tested genes were expressed during exponential phase, "adaptation" (early stationary phase), and stationary phase, respectively. One hundred one, 150, and 33 genes, respectively, were specifically transcribed in these three phases. To explore the in vivo transcription program, we fed L. johnsonii containing a resistance plasmid to antibiotic-treated mice. After a 2-day washout phase, we determined the viable-cell counts of lactobacilli that were in the lumina and associated with the mucosae of different gut segments. While the cell counts showed a rather uniform distribution along the gut, we observed marked differences with respect to the expression of the Lactobacillus genome. The largest number of transcribed genes was in the stomach (n = 786); the next-largest numbers occurred in the cecum (n = 391) and the jejunum (n = 296), while only 26 Lactobacillus genes were transcribed in the colon. In vitro and in vivo transcription programs overlapped only partially. One hundred ninety-one of the transcripts from the lactobacilli in the stomach were not detected during in vitro growth; 202 and 213 genes, respectively, were transcribed under all in vitro and in vivo conditions; but the core transcriptome for all growth conditions comprised only 103 genes. Forty-four percent of the NCC533 genes were not detectably transcribed under any of the investigated conditions. Nontranscribed genes were clustered on the genome and enriched in the variable-genome part. Our data revealed not only major differences between in vitro- and in vivo-expressed genes in a Lactobacillus gut commensal organism but also marked changes in the expression of genes along the digestive tract.
