RNA-seq of three Spodoptera frugiperda tissues (Midgut, Fat body, Hemocytes), at 2 time-points (8h and 15h) after infestation by entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae/Xenorhabdus nematophila

ABSTRACT: Nematodes such as Steinernema carpocapsae are used as organic pesticides because of their ability to prey on live insects. They do so thanks to their symbiotic bacteria, that they release within the hemocoel of insects. In this study we wanted to study how Spodoptera frugiperda, a Lepidoptera pest of crops becoming invasive around the world, defend themselves against the nematodes. We infested S. frugiperda larvae with nematodes and dissected three tissues: the midgut, the fat body and the hemocytes at two time-points: 8 h and 15 h after infestation. We performed single-end RNA-seq on these samples to study the tissue specificity of S. fru response, as well as its dynamic.

Transcriptional profiling of trait deterioration in the insect pathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora

Project description:This research investigates the molecular mechanisms of trait deterioration of two experimental lines of entamopathogenic nematodes, an inbred line (L5M) and its original parental line (OHB), created by sub-culturing different experimental lines of the nematode-bacterium complex over 20 passages in insect hosts. These lines differed in their virulence, heat tolerance and fecundity . Transcriptional profiles of the two experimental lines were determined and select differentially expressed genes were validated by quantitative PCR. Samples from four biological replicates each of the parental strain (OHB) and the laboratory strain (L5M) were hybridized to the custom H. bacteriophora arrays.

RNA-Seq analysis of a Reciprocal Transplant experiment for two strains of Spodoptera frugiperda fed on rice or corn, in laboratory and natural populations

Project description:We wished to investigate if adaptation to host-plant diet is the basis of differentiation for two strains of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae). We performed reciprocal transplant experiments in laboratory conditions, feeding each strain (sf-C and sf-R) with artificial diet, corn plants or rice plants. RNA-Seq was performed on pooled 4th instar larvae from this experiment. We compared this transcriptional response with that of individual 4th instar larvae collected in corn and grass fields in Florida.

Divergent venom effectors correlate with ecological niche in neuropteran predators

Project description:Neuropteran larvae are fierce predators that use venom to feed on arthropods, but their venom system is poorly understood. The iconic antlions (Myrmeleontidae) are adapted to dry, sandy habitats, where they use pitfall traps and venom to catch and subdue large arthropod prey. The aphid lions, larvae of green lacewings (Chrysopidae) primarily hunt for smaller prey, such as aphids. Here, we investigate the tissue origin, composition and ecological role of venom in the European antlion Euroleon nostras and the green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea. We show that E. nostras venom has potent insecticidal activity, indicating its importance for efficient immobilization of large prey. C. carnea venom exerted no toxic effects, reflecting their specialization to small, non-defensive prey. Histological and proteotranscriptomic analysis revealed that antlion venom is produced in three distinct glands that secrete different proteins, indicating a functional compartmentalization of venom compounds. The venom system of E. nostras contains no bacteria, providing strong evidence that all venom compounds are of insect origin and not produced by bacterial symbionts as previously suggested. Our study provides a detailed analysis of the neuropteran venom system and new insights into venom biochemistry and function that may underpin the adaptation of antlions to their unique ecological niche.

The Effect of Temperature Conditioning (9°C and 20°C) on the Proteome of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis Infective Juveniles

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida; Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) are insect parasites which are of economic importance due to their use as biocontrol agents. The third larval stage, infective juveniles (IJs) leave the natal host and move in the soil to locate a new insect host. Both families are associated with mutualistic bacteria, which are released into the haemolymph of the host insect, killing the insect and providing nutrition for nematode development and reproduction, and are thus categorised as entomopathogenic nematodes. Similarities between these two families are due to convergent evolution associated with this lifestyle, rather than common ancestry. Heterorhabditids are closely related to the vertebrate parasites Strongylida (Adams and Nguyen, 2002) and to Caenorhabditis elegans, whereas steinernematids are more closely related to Strongyloididae. The IJ stage of parasitic nematodes is analogous to the dauer stage of C. elegans; both are developmentally arrested, stress resistant stages that disperse to colonise new hosts or food resources, respectively. By investigating the molecular mechanisms and consequences of temperature acclimation and aging in EPN IJs, insights into survival and the changes induced by low temperature exposure may be gained. Label free quantitative (LFQ) massspectrometery-based proteomics facilitates the identification and quantification of thousands of proteins in a single run. Such data allows for the comparison of the proteomes of EPN IJs after conditioning via gene ontology mapping and functional enrichment analysis. Understanding how the IJ proteome is affected by temperature and aging can provide a molecular basis for the wide array of phenotypes and behaviours these organisms may adopt. This study aims to provide proteomic data which may elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotypic plasticity which EPN IJs of two distantly related species exhibit.

RNA-Sequencing analysis of the Drosophila transcriptomic response to infection by entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria

Project description:We report the application of next generation RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptional response of Drosophila adult flies to infection by the insect pathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and their mutualistic bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens, either separately or together. We find that Heterorhabditis and Photorhabdus differentially modulate a large number of genes, many of which participate in metabolic functions, stress responses, repression of gene transcription and neuronal activities. We have also identified Drosophila genes with potential role in nematode recognition and others with putative anti-nematode properties. These findings generate novel insights into how the host immune function is shaped to respond against nematode parasites and their associated bacteria. Transcriptional profiles of Drosophila wild-type adult flies infected with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora carrying or lacking Photorhabdus or the bacteria alone were generated at 12 and 30 hours post infection using Illumina deep sequencing technology.

The Drosophila immune response towards entomopathogenic nematodes and their associated bacteria.

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera Heterorhabditis are obligate and lethal insect parasites. In recent years they have been used increasingly as biological control agents. These EPNs are symbiotically associated with bacteria of the genera Photorhabdus. The bacterial symbionts are essential to kill the host (within 24-48 hours) and digest its tissues to provide nutrients for themselves as well for expanding nematodes. Drosophila larvae are suitable insect hosts and part of the tripartite model system we used before to show the importance of haemolymph clotting and eicosanoids during the infection. We used the well-established tripartite model (Drosophila, nematodes, bacteria), DNA chips and bioinformatic tools to compare gene expression in non-infected and infected fly larvae. We focused on the early time point of nematode infection and therefore infected Drosophila larvae using H. bacteriophora harbouring GFP-labelled P. luminescens bacteria. Infected (GFP positive) larvae were collected 6 hours after infection.

Transcriptional profiling of Adenosine receptor (AdoR) null mutant in Drosophila melanogaster imagoes

Project description:Dysregulation of adenosine (Ado) homeostasis has been observed in both rodent models and human patients of Huntington’s disease (HD). However, the underlying mechanisms of Ado signaling in HD pathogenesis is still unclear. In this study we examined influence of Ado signaling on Drosophila HD model. We further examined the transcription profile of AdoR mutants by microarray analysis to identified a downstream target of AdoR signaling, which mediates the AdoR effects on HD pathology. Our findings have important implications for the crosstalk between Ado signaling and pathogenic effects of HD as well as other human diseases associated with polyglutamine aggregation.

Proteomic analysis of the processes leading to Madurella mycetomatis grain formation in Galleria mellonella larvae

Project description:Mycetoma is a neglected chronic and granulomatous infection primarily associated with the fungal pathogen Madurella mycetomatis. Infection is characterised by the formation of fungal grains inside the infected tissue which commonly result in severe deformity and disability. Currently the biochemical processes and interactions between host and pathogen which result in grain formation are unknown. Furthermore, the infection process in mammals takes months to fully develop. In order to unravel these processes Galleria mellonella larvae were infected with M. mycetomatis and hyphae and grain formation, survival, fungal burden and proteomic responses of larvae were monitored for 10 days. At 24 h post infection proteins indicative of muscle invasion and humoral immune response activation were enriched in infected larval hemolymph. By 72 h immune related hdd11 was increased 337 fold, heat shock proteins 90 was increased 40 fold and glutathione-S-transferase was increased 25 fold. By 7 days post infection proteins which were associated with grain formation (hdd11 [533 fold], hemocentin [54 fold]) and a range of antimicrobial peptides were enriched. During the 7 day period a variety of proteins were decreased in infected hemolymph (e.g. hexamerin, apolipophorin and cationic peptide CP8). This data also identified 75 M. mycetomatis proteins released into hemolymph during infection. Proteins were also extracted from M. mycetomatis grains taken from larvae infected for 24, 72 and 7 days. These proteins give an insight into the interactions between the larval immune response and M. mycetomatis at the cellular levels during infection. These results identify similarities between the infection processes of M. mycetomatis in G. mellonella larvae and in humans and identify novel proteins from M. mycetomatis which may play a crucial role in grain development.

Proteomic responses of Candida albicans to Galleria mellonella larvae hemolymph

Project description:This study assessed the development of disseminated candidiasis within Galleria mellonella larvae and characterised the proteomic responses of Candida albicans to larval hemolymph. Infection of larvae with an inoculum of 1 × 106 yeast cell reduced larval viability 24 (53.33 ± 3.33%), 48 (33.33 ± 3.33%) and 72 (6.66 ± 3.33%) hour post infection. C. albicans infection quickly disseminated from the site of inoculation and the presence of yeast and hyphal forms were found in nodules extracted from infected larvae at 6 and 24 hours. A range of proteins secreted during infection of G. mellonella were detected in larval hemolymph and these were enriched for biological processes such as interaction with host and pathogenesis. The candicidal activity of hemolymph after immediate incubation of yeast cells resulted in a decrease in yeast cell viability (0.23 ± 0.03 × 106, p < 0.05) as compared to control (0.99 ± 0.01 × 106). extracellular (in vivo) proteome of C. albicans in larval hemolymph were assessed. C. albicans responds to incubation in hemolymph ex vivo by the induction of an oxidative stress response, a decrease in proteins associated with protein synthesis and an increase in glycolytic proteins.
