• W1969870204 abstract "Fluoridation causes an obvious reduction of dental caries by interference with cariogenic streptococci. However, the effect of fluoride on group A streptococci that causes rheumatic fever and acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is not known. We have used proteomic analysis to create a reference proteome map forStreptococcus pyogenes and to determine fluoride-induced protein changes in the streptococci. Cellular and extracellular proteins were resolved by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry. 183 protein spots were visualized, and 74 spots representing 60 unique proteins were identified. A 16-h exposure to sodium fluoride caused decreased expression of proteins required to respond to cellular stress, including anti-oxidants, glycolytic enzymes, transcriptional and translational regulators, and protein folding. Fluoride caused decreased cellular expression of two well-characterized S. pyogenes virulence factors. Fluoride decreased expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, which acts to bind fibronectin and promote bacterial adherence. We also performed proteomic analysis of protein released by S. pyogenes into the culture supernatant and observed decreased expression of M proteins following fluoride exposure. These data provide evidence that fluoride causes decreased expression by S. pyogenes proteins used to respond to stress, virulence factors, and implicated in non-suppurative complications of S. pyogenes, including glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever.

Lancet. 1981; 2: 910-911Abstract PubMed Scopus (91) Google Scholar). The effects of fluoride on cariogenic Streptococcus mutans and other bacteria have been extensively studied.

Oral Sci. 2001; 109: 182-186Crossref PubMed Scopus (20) Google Scholar). However, the effects of fluoride on group A Streptococci have not been examined. To examine simultaneous changes in multiple virulence factors, we performed a proteomic analysis of S. pyogenes exposed to fluoride. Western blotting and other immunological methods have been successfully used to study protein expression of various microorganisms, cells, and tissues. However, these techniques are constrained by the limited number of proteins that can be studied in each experiment and the availability of specific antibodies. Proteomic techniques date to 1975, when two-dimensional PAGE was simultaneously described by O'Farrell and Klose (11.O'Farrell P.H. J. Biol. Chem. 1975; 250: 4007-4021Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar, 12.Klose J. Kobalz U. Electrophoresis. 1995; 16: 1034-1059Crossref PubMed Scopus (630) Google Scholar) and applied to the study of a large number of proteins simultaneously. In two-dimensional PAGE proteins are separated by differential isoelectric point (pI) for the first dimension and by differential weight average molecular weight (M̄ w ) for the second dimension. Using this technique, 1100 protein components have been resolved from Escherichia coli (11.O'Farrell P.H. J. Biol. Chem. 1975; 250: 4007-4021Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). Recently, up to 10,000 protein forms have been visualized by high resolution two-dimensional PAGE (12.Klose J. Kobalz U. Electrophoresis. 1995; 16: 1034-1059Crossref PubMed Scopus (630) Google Scholar). The high throughput analysis by mass spectrometry of proteins separated with two-dimensional PAGE has permitted analysis of proteins on a “genomic” scale (13.Jungblut P. Wittmann-Liebold B. J. Biotechnol. 1995; 41: 111-120Crossref PubMed Scopus (28) Google Scholar), a process that has acquired the name “proteomics” (14.Anderson N.L. Anderson N.G. Electrophoresis. 1998; 19: 1853-1861Crossref PubMed Scopus (807) Google Scholar). We have used this approach to construct an initial proteome map of S. pyogenes and to determine whether fluoride alters protein expression of S. pyogenes. In this initial analysis, 74 spots representing 60 unique proteins were identified. Fluoride caused S. pyogenes to decrease expression of several virulence factor proteins, including M protein, GAPDH, and deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP)-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose-3,5-epimerase, but did not alter cell viability. These proteomic data suggest the hypothesis that fluoride might inhibit S. pyogenes virulence factors and post-infectious inflammatory disorders. acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis isoelectric point matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry chemically defined medium dithiothreitol α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase weight average molecular weight 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid N-[2-hy-droxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]glycine heat-shock protein S. pyogenes M5 was employed throughout this study. The streptococci were grown either in chemically defined medium (CDM) (15.van de Rijn I. Kessler R.E. Infect. Immun. 1980; 27: 444-448Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) as a control or in CDM with 5 mm sodium fluoride (NaF, “Suprapure”; E. Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at 37 °C for 16 h. NaF was separately filter-sterilized before adding into the sterile medium. Bacteria were harvested after overnight culture by centrifugation at 6000 × g at 4 °C for 10 min. Both cellular proteins and proteins in the extracellular supernatant were extracted. For the cellular components, the bacteria were washed twice with ice-cold 18-megohm water and then sonicated at level 4 with 60% duty cycle (High Intensity Ultrasonic Cell Disrupter, Sonics & Materials Inc, Danbury, CT) on ice until more than 80% of cells were broken. The protein mixture was centrifuged at 6000 ×g at 4 °C for 10 min, and the supernatant was saved. The sample was lyophilized and resuspended in a sample buffer containing 40 mm Tris, 7.92 m urea, 0.06% SDS, 1.76% ampholytes, 120 mm dithiothreitol (DTT), 3.2% Triton X-100, 0.1 mg/ml leupeptin, 0.1 mg/ml phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and 1 mm sodium azide. For the extracellular proteins, the culture supernatant was precipitated overnight by ammonium sulfate and centrifuged at 25,000 × g at 4 °C for 30 min. The pellet was saved, resuspended in 20 mm phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2) and dialyzed two times against 18-megohm water with theM̄ w cut off at 6–8 kDa overnight. The samples were lyophilized and resuspended in the same sample buffer as above. The samples were duplicated and protein concentration was measured by spectrophotometry using Bio-Rad protein microassay based on Bradford's method (16.Bradford M.M. Anal. Biochem. 1976; 72: 248-254Crossref PubMed Scopus (216334) Google Scholar). The control and NaF-treated samples were run in parallel with a two-dimensional PAGE running system (Genomic Solutions Inc., Ann Arbor, MI). Immobilized pH gradient strips, non-linear pH 3–10, 18 cm long (Amersham Biosciences, Inc., Fairfield, NJ) were rehydrated overnight with 100 μg of proteins in rehydration buffer containing 8 m urea, 2% CHAPS, 0.01 m DTT, 2% ampholytes, and bromphenol blue and focused with maximal 5000 V and 80 μA for 24 h at 17 °C to reach 100,000 V.h. After completion of focusing the samples were equilibrated with buffer containing 6m urea, 130 mm DTT, 30% glycerol, 112 mm Tris base, 4% SDS, 0.002% bromphenol blue and acetic acid and then with buffer containing 6 m urea, 135 mm iodoacetamide, 30% glycerol, 112 mm Tris base, 4% SDS, 0.002% bromphenol blue, and acetic acid. The strips were loaded onto pre-cast 10% homogeneous, 20- × 20-cm slab gels (Genomic Solutions Inc.). Upper running buffer contained with 0.2 m Tris base, 0.2m Tricine, and 0.4% SDS and lower running buffer was 0.625m Tris acetate. The system was run with maximal 500 V and 20,000 milliwatts per gel. The gel slabs were fixed in 10% methanol and 7% acetic acid for 30 min. The fixed solution was removed and 500 ml of SYPRO ruby gel stain (Bio-Rad Laboratory, Hercules, CA) was add to each gel and incubated on gently continuous rocker at room temperature for 18 h. A high resolution 12-bit camera with UV light box system (Genomic Solutions Inc.) was used to visualize the protein spots. Five different exposure time points (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 s) were set to scan the gels. The images were inverted before analysis with two-dimensional analysis software. Investigator HT analyzer (Genomic Solutions Inc.) software was used for matching and analysis of the protein spot expression on gels. A reference gel was created by combining all of the spots from different gels into one image. The average mode of background subtraction was used for normalization of intensity volume of each spot and for compatibility of the intensity between each gel. The reference gel was then used for determination of existence and difference of protein expression between each group. The intensity less than a 0.5-fold or greater than 2-fold of the control was considered significantly changed. Samples were prepared using a modification of the technique described by Jensen (17.Jensen O.N. Wilm M. Shevchenko A. Mann M. Methods Mol. Biol. 1999; 112: 513-530PubMed Google Scholar). The protein spots were excised with a clean scalpel into 1-mm cubes. The gel pieces were transferred to clean 1.5-ml microcentrifuge tubes and wash with 0.1 m ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) at room temperature for 15 min. Acetonitrile was added to the gel pieces and incubated at room temperature for 15 min. The solvent was removed, and the gel pieces were dried in laminar flow hood. The gel pieces were rehydrated with 20 μl of 20 mm DTT in 0.1 mNH4HCO3 and incubated at 56 °C for 45 min to reduce the protein. The tubes were chilled at room temperature, and the DTT solution was removed and replaced with 20 μl of 55 mmiodoacetamide in 0.1 m NH4HCO3 and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. The iodoacetamide was removed and replaced with 0.2 ml of 50 mmNH4HCO3 and incubated at room temperature for 15 min. Acetonitrile (0.2 ml) was added, and the samples were incubated at room temperature for 15 min. The solvent was removed, and the gel pieces were dried in laminar flow hood. The gel pieces were rehydrated with 20 ng/μl modified trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI) in 50 mm NH4HCO3 with the minimal volume to cover the gel pieces. The gel pieces were chopped into four to five smaller pieces and incubated at 37 °C overnight in shaking incubator to enhance microcirculation of the digestive solution and to prevent drops formation under the cover of microcentrifuge tubes. Nitrocellulose solution was made by dissolving a nitrocellulose membrane in 1:1 acetone/isopropanol solvent. α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (α-CN) was washed with 50 μl of acetone, and acetone phase was discarded. The α-CN was dissolved in acetone to a concentration of 10 mg/ml, and the nitrocellulose and α-CN solutions were mixed to 1:4 ratio, and 1 μl of this mixture was deposited onto the 96-well MALDI target plate. The samples were prepared for addition to the plate by mixing 2 μl of sample with 2 μl of 10 mg/ml α-CN solution in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in 1:1 H2O/acetonitrile. The sample mixtures (1 μl) were loaded onto each thin film. After the sample mixtures were dried, 1.5 μl of 2% formic acid was added to each spot. The formic solution was removed by gentle blotting. This washing step was performed twice. The samples were then dried at room temperature. Fragment size was determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Mass spectral data were obtained using a Micromass Tof-Spec 2E instrument equipped with a 337-nm N2 laser at 20–35% power in the positive ion reflectron mode. Spectral data were obtained by averaging 10 spectra each of which was the composite of 10 laser firings. The mass axis was calibrated using known peaks from tryptic autolysis. Peptide mass fingerprinting was used for protein identification from tryptic fragment sizes by using the MASCOT search engine (www.matrixscience.com) based on the entire NCBInr protein data base using the assumption that peptides are monoisotopic, oxidized at methionine residues and carbamidomethylated at cysteine residues. Up to one missed trypsin cleavage was allowed, although most matches did not contain any missed cleavages. Mass tolerance of 150 ppm was the window of error to be allowed for matching the peptide mass values. Probability-based MOWSE scores were estimated by comparison of search results against estimated random match population and were reported as −10*log10(P), where P is the absolute probability. Scores greater than 71 were considered significant (p < 0.05). The pattern of protein separation by two-dimensional PAGE was consistent and essentially identical in different culture samples of S. pyogenes. A total of 183 cellular protein spots were visualized. The protein spots were excised and underwent in-gel tryptic digestion. Peptide masses were obtained by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Shown in Fig. 1 is a typical mass spectra of a protein, the 60-kDa chaperone that was identified using the MASCOT search engine to query the NCBI protein data base (Fig. 2). All protein identifications were in the expected size range based on position in the gel. Fifty-five unique proteins were identified from 66 spots present on gels. (Fig. 3 A, Table I).Figure 2Peptide mass fingerprinting. Peptide mass fingerprinting of the observed masses in Fig. 1 was performed using the MASCOT search engine. Scores more than 71 were considered statistically significant for matching (p < 0.05). Observed masses (32 of total 35 masses) were matched to the theoretical masses of 60 kDa heat shock protein (GroEL) with less than 150-ppm window of error and mostly 0 missed cleavage. The matched masses were then converted to amino acid sequences along variable residue sites and covered 68% of the GroEL sequences. * An oxidation site on methionine that caused mass shift.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)Figure 3Proteome maps for S. pyogenesand alterations by fluoride.

As shown in Table III, marked decreases in expression were seen in protein chaperones, general stress protein, regulators of DNA and RNA synthesis, glycolytic and other metabolic enzymes, and proteins essential to translation.Table IIISummary of the altered proteins after fluoride exposureFunctional categoriesProteinSpot no.Regulation by NaFHeat-shock protein/chaperone60-kDa chaperone (GroEL)2DownHeat-shock protein 70 (dnaK)6, 7DownHeat-shock protein GrpE27DownOther stress proteinsSuperoxide dismutase (SOD)3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.64DownAlkyl hydroperoxidase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.38DownGeneral stress protein 249DisappearedDNA and RNA synthesisPutative GMP synthase41DownOrotate phosphoribosyl transferase46DownOrotidine-5′-decarboxylase PyrF47, 48DownChain A, Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase5DownPyrimidine regulatory protein54DownXanthine phosphoribosyltransferase59DisappearedDeoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase13Newly expressedEnergy production and glycolytic pathwayFructose-bisphosphate aldolase21, 24DisappearedGAPDH3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.26DownNADP-dependent glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.45Down6-Phosphofructokinase35Disappeared2-Dehydropantoate 2-reductase34DownPyruvate kinase54DownTransketolase57DownTranscription regulatorPutative TetR-family transcriptional regulator56DownRopA61DownSigmaB regulating protein RsbU62UpTranslation, ribosomal structure, and biosynthesis50 S ribosomal protein L101DownElongation factor G15DisappearedElongation factor P16DisappearedElongation factor TU18, 19DownPolypeptide deformylase51DownMembrane proton transportPutative transport system permease58DownCalcium-binding protein3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.4UpSignal transductionGlyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.26DownNADP-dependent GAPDH3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.45DownPhosphotransacetylase50DownProtein-tyrosine phosphatase32UpVirulence factor and cell wall adhesionTetravalent M protein73DisappearedM5 protein74DisappearedCysteine protease SpeB69–72UpdTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose-3,5-epimerase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.40DownSuperoxide dismutase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.64DownAlkyl hydroperoxidase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.38DownCalcium-binding protein3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.4UpGAPDH3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.26DownCell wall synthesisdTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose-3,5-epimerase3-aProteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria.40DownUnknownYomF66DownSubtylisin Dy63Up3-a Proteins that have multiple functions in the bacteria. Open table in a new tab A total of 62 protein spots were visualized and 8 spots representing 5 unique proteins were identified in culture supernatants (Fig. 3 C, Table II). The identified proteins in culture supernatants were not observed in cellular components and have been previously described as extracellular proteins in streptococcal culture supernatants (19.Lei B. Mackie S. Lukomski S. Musser J.M. Infect. Immun. 2000; 68: 6807-6818Crossref PubMed Scopus (132) Google Scholar, 20.Hytonen J. Haataja S. Gerlach D. Podbielski A. Finne J. Mol.

Immun. 2000; 68: 6542-6553Crossref PubMed Scopus (141) Google Scholar). Proteins present in culture supernatants were presumably from surface-expressed proteins and were released or shed during normal and stress conditions. Cysteine protease SpeB, also known as pyrogenic exotoxin B, was expressed as multiple forms on the two-dimensional PAGE that reflect the previously described cleavage of this protein (22.Boyle M.D.P. Romer T.G. Meeker A.K. Sledjeski D.D. J. Microbiol. Methods. 2001; 46: 87-97Crossref PubMed Scopus (31) Google Scholar). Two proteins identified in the data base as tetravalent M protein and M5 protein were present in culture supernatants.Table IIProtein expression in S. pyogenes culture supernatantsSpot no.ProteinID no.CoveragepIM̄ wIntensity (NaF/control)%kDa67Pyrogenic exotoxin Bgi‖431620388.843.140.7868RNA polymerase beta subunitgi‖6449117167.919.300.9069Cysteine protease SpeBgi‖14699964237.237.384.4570Cysteine protease SpeBgi‖14699964407.237.385.2371Cysteine protease SpeBgi‖14699964267.237.383.7772Cysteine protease SpeBgi‖14699964177.237.387.9273Tetravalent M proteingi‖40822595.328.230.0074M5 protein—streptococcal pyogenes (fragment)gi‖437191106.022.700.00 Open table in a new tab The active low molecular weight cysteine protease SpeB forms in supernatants had markedly increased expression, but the highest molecular mass form (∼38 kDa) did not change expression. Notably, the expression of both M virulence forms identified as tetravalent M and M5 proteins were absent after fluoride exposure (Fig. 3 D, Table II). We have constructed an initial proteome map for both cellular and supernatant protein expression of S. pyogenes. This map permits consistent identification of proteins as the coordinates of the protein spots are highly reproducible on high resolution two-dimensional PAGE gels. We identified 60 unique cellular and culture supernatant proteins by peptide mass fingerprinting that were expressed in 74 forms on two-dimensional PAGE. Fluoride exposure markedly altered both intracellular protein expression and the content of proteins in the culture supernatant, without affecting cell viability. The altered proteins were summarized in Table III, and their functions were classified as modified from the function categories of M1 S. pyogenes genome (18.Ferretti J.J. McShan W.M. Ajdic D. Savic D.J. Savic G. Lyon K. Primeaux C. Sezate S. Suvorov A.N. Kenton S. Lai H.S. Lin S.P. Qian Y. Jia H.G. Najar F.Z. Ren Q. Zhu H. Song L. White J. Yuan X. Clifton S.W. Roe B.A. McLaughlin R. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2001; 98: 4658-4663Crossref PubMed Scopus (777) Google Scholar). Fluoride caused decreased expression of several proteins that have been implicated in S. pyogenes virulence. Fluoride caused decreased expression in culture supernatants of the well-characterized M Protein virulence factors. Decreased release of M protein into the culture supernatant presumably reflects decreased surface expression, because M protein is primarily confined to the bacterial membrane and intracellular expression of M protein was unchanged. M protein has been shown to promote S. pyogenes virulence by inhibiting phagocytosis and increasing adherence to host tissues. GAPDH expression was also decreased by fluoride. GAPDH expressed on the S. pyogenes cell surface acts as a virulence factor by binding fibronectin and stimulating signal transduction in host cells (23.Pancholi V. Fischetti V.A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1993; 90: 8154-8158Crossref PubMed Scopus (155) Google Scholar, 24.Pancholi V. Fischetti V.A. J. Exp. Med. 1992; 176: 415-426Crossref PubMed Scopus (512) Google Scholar, 25.Pancholi V. Fischetti V.A. J. Exp. Med. 1997; 186: 1633-1643Crossref PubMed Scopus (83) Google Scholar). Purified GAPDH stimulated serine and tyrosine kinase activity in host cells that was required for uptake of bacteria. Considered together, fluoride-induced decreases in M protein and GAPDH could result in decreased adherence to and penetration of the host epithelial barrier. Paradoxically, we observed increased release into culture supernatant of the major streptococcal cysteine protease SpeB. The potential role of SpeB as a virulence factor has been studied extensively. SpeB activates interleukin-1β, kininogen, and matrix metalloproteinases, presumably promoting inflammation and tissue destruction (26.Kapur V. Majesky M.W. Li L.L. Black R.A. Musser J.M. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1993; 90: 7676-7680Crossref PubMed Scopus (211) Google Scholar, 27.Shanley T.P. Schrier D. Kapur V. Kehoe M. Musser J.M. Ward P.A. Infect. Immun. 1996; 64: 870-877Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 28.Ben Nasr A.B. Herwald H. Muller-Esterl W. Bjorck L. Biochem. J. 1995; 305: 173-180Crossref PubMed Scopus (62) Google Scholar). Based on these findings, an increase in the release of SpeB would presumably promote virulence. However, studies that addressed the clinical relevance of SpeB as a virulence factor in animal models of infection have yielded conflicting results. Talkington et al. (29.Talkington D.F. Schwartz B. Black C.M. Todd J.K. Elliott J. Breiman R.F. Facklam R.R. Infect. Immun. 1993; 61: 3369-3374Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) observed no relation between SpeB expression and invasiveS. pyogenes infection. Chaussee et al.(30.Chaussee M.S. Liu J. Stevens D.L. Ferretti J.J. J. Infect. Dis. 1996; 173: 901-908Crossref PubMed Scopus (101) Google Scholar) determined SpeB production in 117 S. pyogenes clinical isolates and observed no correlation with the severity of disease. Kansal et al. (31.Kansal R.G. McGeer A. Low D.E. Norrby-Teglund A. Kotb M. Infect. Immun. 2000; 68: 6362-6369Crossref PubMed Scopus (131) Google Scholar) observed an inverse relationship between disease severity and SpeB expression in S. pyogenes isolates from patients with invasive Group A infections. Finally, SpeBactivity is governed, in part, by the protein RopA. RopA contributes to the post-translational processing of SpeB that establishes an active conformation after secretion (32.Lyon W.R. Gibson C.M. Caparon M.G. EMBO J. 1998; 17: 6263-6275Crossref PubMed Scopus (218) Google Scholar). Fluoride caused a marked decrease in the expression of RopA. Considered together, these data suggest that, although SpeB may function as a virulence factor, changes in the absolute levels of SpeB expression may be less relevant to virulence. Fluoride exposure did not directly affect cell viability but did alter the expression of proteins essential to survival and the response to stress. S. pyogenes exposed to fluoride expressed lower levels of GroEL and DnaK chaperone proteins, as well as general stress protein 24. Fluoride-treated S. pyogenes also had markedly decreased expression of proteins required for scavenging oxygen radicals. However, fluoride exposure caused increased expression of one protein that regulates the response to stress, RsbU. We observed a 2-fold increase in a protein with significant homology to RsbU. RsbU regulates the SigmaB protein that has been well characterized in the response of Bacillus subtilis to stress induced by heat, ethanol, salt, and energy starvation. Activation of the SigmaB regulon results in the induction of general stress proteins and a variety of other proteins essential to the stress response. The SigmaB regulon has been well-characterized in many bacteria, but is incompletely understood in Streptococcus (33.Jayaraman G.C. Penders J.E. Burne R.A. Mol. Microbiol. 1997; 25: 329-341Crossref PubMed Scopus (94) Google Scholar, 34.Wendrich T.M. Marahiel M.A. Mol. Microbiol. 1997; 26: 65-79Crossref PubMed Scopus (131) Google Scholar). We postulate that increased expression of RsbU represents an attempt by S. pyogenes to activate the SigmaB stress response to cope with the effects of fluoride. Several examples are present in the literature of the application of proteomic analysis to the study of Streptococcus species (19.Lei B. Mackie S. Lukomski S. Musser J.M. Infect. Immun. 2000; 68: 6807-6818Crossref PubMed Scopus (132) Google Scholar, 35.Perrin C. Gonzalez-Marquez H. Gaillard J.L. Bracquart P. Guimont C. Electrophoresis. 2000; 21: 949-955Crossref PubMed Scopus (24) Google Scholar, 36.Wilkins J.C. Homer K.A. Beighton D. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2001; 67: 3396-3405Crossref PubMed Scopus (63) Google Scholar). None of these studies examined the effect of fluoride onS. pyogenes and cannot be used to confirm our findings. Many previous studies have determined that fluoride inhibits the function of several proteins, including catalase, superoxide dismutase, and elongation factor G (37.Meier B. Scherk C. Schmidt M. Parak F. Biochem. J. 1998; 331: 403-407Crossref PubMed Scopus (24) Google Scholar, 38.Mesters J.R. Martien D.G. Kraal B. FEBS Lett. 1993; 321: 149-152Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). These studies did not examine the effect of fluoride on the amount expressed of these proteins. Our data indicate that effect of fluoride on the function of many proteins may result from decreased expression as well as the previously observed inhibition of protein function. Our proteomic analysis also suggests a new hypothesis to test regarding the effect of fluoride on S. pyogenes. We observed that fluoride altered the expression of proteins essential to the non-suppurative complications of S. pyogenes infection, including rheumatic fever and APSGN. We observed decreased expression of GAPDH, GroEL, and DnaK proteins previously implicated in the pathogenesis of ASPGN and rheumatic fever (39.Cunningham M.W. Clin. Microbiol. Rev. 2000; 13: 470-511Crossref PubMed Scopus (1759) Google Scholar, 40.Nordstrand A. Norgren M. Holm S.E. Scand. J. Infect. Dis. 1999; 31: 523-537Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar, 41.Fontan P.A. Pancholi V. Nociari M.M. Fischetti V.A. J. Infect. Dis. 2000; 182: 1712-1721Crossref PubMed Scopus (105) Google Scholar, 42.Lemos J.A. Giambiagi-Demarval M. Castro A.C. J. Med. Microbiol. 1998; 47: 711-715Crossref PubMed Scopus (27) Google Scholar). We further observed a decrease in the amount of M protein released into the supernatant by fluoride-treated bacteria. M protein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of both rheumatic fever and ASPGN. One putative mechanism for M protein's role in these disorders is presumably the cross-reaction of anti-M protein antibodies with host myosin proteins (43.Quinn A. Kosanke S. Fischetti V.A. Factor S.M. Cunningham M.W. Infect. Immun. 2001; 69: 4072-4078Crossref PubMed Scopus (111) Google Scholar, 44.Quinn A. Ward K. Fischetti V.A. Hemric M. Cunningham M.W. Infect. Immun. 1998; 66: 4418-4424Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Several factors may have contributed to the decreased incidence of rheumatic fever and APSGN in industrialized countries, including the introduction of antibiotics, aggressive treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis, and improved public health measures. However, the decline in rheumatic fever and ASPGN also began at the time that fluoridation of water supplies was introduced (45.Ripa L.W. J. Public Health Dent. 1993; 53: 17-44Crossref PubMed Scopus (136) Google Scholar, 46.Burt B.A. Br. Dent. J. 1995; 178: 49-50Crossref PubMed Scopus (7) Google Scholar, 47.Easley M.W. Br. Dent. J. 1995; 178: 72-75Crossref PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar). Our data suggest the hypothesis fluoridation of water may have influenced the decline in non-suppurative S. pyogenes complications. In summary, we have used proteomic analysis to construct a reference proteome map for S. pyogenes. This map can then be used to study a large number of proteins simultaneously from any interventions. Several cellular and extracellular proteins were altered by fluoride. We postulate that fluoride may affect defense mechanisms, virulence, and immunogenicity of the streptococci and may aid to a reduction of poststreptococcal sequelae. Further studies are needed to explore these complex mechanisms of fluoride on S. pyogenes." @default.
