Effect of Wolbachia (wMel strain) on gene expression in Dirofilaria immitis infected-Aedes aegypti

Project description:Wolbachia pipientis is an intracellular symbiotic bacterium found in insects and arthropods. Wolbachia can decrease the vectorial capacity for various pathogens, such as the dengue virus, in Aedes aegypti. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Wolbachia (wMel strain) on the vectorial capacity of Ae. aegypti for Dirofilaria immitis. We analyzed gene expression patterns by RNA-seq in addition to the D. immitis infection phenotype in Ae. aegypti infected with and without wMel. Four Ae. aegypti strains, MGYP2.tet, MGYP2, Liverpol (LVP)-Obihiro (OB), and LVP-OB-wMel (OB-wMel) were analyzed for transcriptome comparison in Malpighian tubule at 2 days post infection. The correlation between Wolbachia infection, D. immitis infection phenotype and immune-related genes expression in Ae. aegypti was investigated.

Transcription profiling of Brugia Wolbachia elimination

Project description:Female worms (Brugia malayi) were collected from infected jirds treated with 2.5 mg/ml tetracycline in drinking water for 7, 14, or 21 days to eliminate the worm's endosymbiont, Wolbachia.<br>Control age matched female worms were recovered from infected jirds given normal water for drinking.<br>The Filarial Nematode Oligonucleotide Array (version 2) was used in hybridization analyses on cDNA generated from extracted total RNA.<br>Each microarray was hybridized with a mixture of control and experimental cDNA differentially labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 in a flip-dye experiment.<br>Gridding and analysis of images were performed using ScanArray v3.0, each spot defined pixel-by-pixel using a modified Mann-Whitney test, and the resulting values processed with Gene-Spring 7.1 software.

Onchocerca-derived small RNAs in host nodules and serum

Project description:We report the presence of Onchocerca ochengi and O. volvulus derived small RNAs in bovine nodule fluids and human serum and plasma, respectively. Further comparisons with other related filarial nematodes like Litomosoides sigmodontis and Dirofilaria immitis reveal common and distictive signatures associated to the Onchocerca species.

Identification of cross-species microRNA-based Communication in Brugia malayi with its endosymbiont Wolbachia

Project description:Brugia malayi is a parasitic nematode that causes lymphatic filariasis in humans. A total of 178 novel microRNA were identified from short read transcriptional data, which when combined with known Brugia microRNAs yielded a total of 284 microRNA. Of these, 123 microRNA sequences (43%) are differentially expressed over the mammalian life stages of B. malayi that we examined. Putative targets of these microRNA were identified from inversely expressed target clusters that contain valid seed sequences for the corresponding microRNAs. The largest identified cluster is downregulated in adult females and enriched in zinc finger domains, helicase domains, and DNA binding domains suggesting this microRNA cluster may have regulatory control over a large proportion of adult female specific mRNA genes. MicroRNA-like molecules are identified as produced by the Wolbachia endosymbiont, providing evidence for direct nucleic acid-based interdomain communication between filarial nematodes and their bacterial obligate endosymbiont.

Activation of mosquito immunity blocks the development of transmission-stage filarial nematodes

Project description:Mosquito-borne helminth infections are responsible for a significant worldwide disease burden in both humans and animals. Accordingly, development of novel strategies to reduce disease transmission by targeting these pathogens in the vector are of paramount importance. We found that a strain of Aedes aegypti that is refractory to infection by Dirofilaria immitis, the agent of canine heartworm disease, mounts a stronger immune response during infection than does a susceptible strain. Moreover, activation of the Toll immune signaling pathway in the susceptible strain arrests larval development of the parasite, thereby decreasing the number of transmissionstage larvae. Notably, this strategy also blocks transmission stage Brugia malayi, an agent of human lymphatic filariasis. Our data show that mosquito immunity can play a pivotal role in restricting filarial nematode development and suggest that genetically engineering mosquitoes with enhanced immunity will help reduce disease transmission.
