Abstract
Two component systems (TCS) mediate specific responses to different conditions and/or pressures. In the quorum sensing Glaesserella parasuis (QSE) BC TCS, qseB, as a response regulator, is closely related to the transcriptional regulation of multiple downstream genes. In this study, the effects of qseB gene deletion, which encodes the response regulator of population density sensing in G. parasuis, were studied through biological characteristics and metabolomic analysis. Based on previous research, we further explored the virulence of ΔqseB mutant strains through cell morphology, adhesion and invasion. The ΔqseB mutant and parent strains were sequenced by metabolome and combined with the previous transcriptome sequencing results for joint analysis. This study aims to clarify the regulatory effect of QseB on the virulence of G. parasuis and lay the foundation for revealing the pathogenic mechanism of G. parasuis. We detected 476 different metabolites, of which 30 metabolites (6.3%) had a significant difference in abundance between SC1401 and ΔqseB (p < 0.05). We conducted a comparative analysis of pathway enrichment on the transcriptome and metabolome, and found that the two omics participate in seven metabolic pathways together. The top 10 KEGG pathways with the largest number of genes and metabolites identified in this experiment are ABC transporters, Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, Cysteine and methionine metabolism, Purine metabolism, Pyrimidine metabolism, Metabolic pathways, and Nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. Analysis of metabolome sequencing results showed that differential metabolites were also enriched in metabolic pathways, such as Purine metabolism, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway and cAMP signaling pathway, which were not found in transcriptome sequencing data. The internal coloration of the mutant strain ΔqseB was uneven, and the adhesion and invasion ability of PAM cell lines were significantly reduced. We speculate that QseB may affect the adhesion and invasion ability of Glaesserella parasuis by influencing substance transport and signal transduction.

Deletion of Polyamine Transport Protein PotD Exacerbates Virulence in Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis in the Form of Non-biofilm-generated Bacteria in a Murine Acute Infection Model. Virulence 2021; 12:520-546.

Abstract
Polyamines are small, polycationic molecules with a hydrocarbon backbone and multiple amino groups required for optimal cell growth. The potD gene, belonging to the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transport system potABCD, encodes the bacterial substrate-binding subunit of the polyamine transport system, playing a pivotal role in bacterial metabolism and growth. The swine pathogen Glaesserella parasuis possesses an intact pot operon, and the studies presented here mainly examined the involvement of PotD in Glaesserella pathogenesis. A potD-deficient mutant was constructed using a virulent G. parasuis strain SC1401 by natural transformation; immuno-electron microscopy was used to identify the subcellular location of native PotD protein; an electron microscope was adopted to inspect biofilm and bacterial morphology; immunofluorescence technique was employed to study cellular adhesion, the levels of inflammation and apoptosis. The TSA++-pre-cultured mutant strain showed a significantly reduced adhesion capacity to PK-15 and MLE-12 cells. Likewise, we also found attenuation in virulence using murine models focusing on the clinical sign, H&E, and IFA for inflammation and apoptosis. However, when the mutant was grown in TSB++, virulence recovered to normal levels, along with a high level of radical oxygen species formation in the host. The expression of PotD could actively stimulate the production of ROS in Raw 264.7. Our data suggested that PotD from G. parasuis has a high binding potential to polyamine, and is essential for the full bacterial virulence within mouse models. However, the virulence of the potD mutant is highly dependent on its TSA++ culture conditions rather than on biofilm-formation.

Polyamine Transport Protein PotD Protects Mice against Haemophilus parasuis and Elevates the Secretion of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines of Macrophage via JNK-MAPK and NF-κB Signal Pathways through TLR4. Vaccines (Basel) 2019; 7:vaccines7040216.

Abstract
The potD gene, belonging to the well-conserved ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transport system potABCD, encodes the bacterial substrate-binding subunit of the polyamine transport system. In this study, we found PotD in Haemophilus (Glaesserella) parasuis could actively stimulate both humoral immune and cellular immune responses and elevate lymphocyte proliferation, thus eliciting a Th1-type immune response in a murine immunity and infection model. Stimulation of Raw 264.7 macrophages with PotD validated that Toll-like receptor 4, rather than 2, participated in the positive transcription and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL–1β, IL–6, and TNF–α using qPCR and ELISA. Blocking signal-regulated JNK–MAPK and RelA(p65) pathways significantly decreased PotD-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Overall, we conclude that vaccination of PotD could induce both humoral and cellular immune responses and provide immunoprotection against H. parasuis challenge. The data also suggest that Glaesserella PotD is a novel pro-inflammatory mediator and induces TLR4-dependent pro-inflammatory activity in Raw 264.7 macrophages through JNK–MAPK and RelA(p65) pathways.
