Detection of Human polyomavirus 2 (HPyV2) in oyster samples in northern Brazil.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human polyomavirus 2 (HPyV2 or JCPyV) is persistent in the environment due to its excretion in urine and feces; it is detected in samples of wastewater, surface water and drinking water. A lack of basic sanitation and sewage collection results in the presence of this virus in food, especially in oysters, since they are bioaccumulators and are consumed in their natural form, thus posing a risk to human health.

Methods

This study investigated the frequency of HPyV2 in samples of oysters marketed in northeastern Pará State, Brazil, and optimized a real-time PCR (qPCR) protocol for the detection of an endogenous oyster control. A total of 217 oysters in 22 pools from five municipalities in the state of Pará were analyzed. Samples underwent dissection and total maceration of oyster tissue using a viral concentration technique, followed by DNA extraction with phenol-chloroform and amplification of the VP1 region for molecular detection via qPCR.

Results

HPyV2 was detected in 18.2% (4/22) of the pooled samples, with frequencies of 25, 20, 20 and 16% in the municipalities of Salinópolis, Augusto Corrêa, São Caetano de Odivelas and Curuçá, respectively. Notably, the sample pool from the municipality of Bragança did not have detectable HPyV2 and this was the only sampled location with a water treatment station. In this study, Crassostrea genus-specific primers (AFL52 ribosomal RNA gene) of oyster were developed for use as an endogenous control in the qPCR analysis, which will be useful for future studies.

Conclusions

The detection of HPyV2 in oyster samples commercialized in the state of Pará shows the circulation of this virus in the studied municipalities. Thus, it is necessary to implement measures for improving sewage collection and basic sanitation to avoid contamination of water and food with HPyV2.

Project description:Even though the epidemiology of tick-borne agents (TBA) in dogs has been extensively investigated around the world, the occurrence, vectors involved, and molecular identity of these agents in cats remains elusive in many regions. Among TBA, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Hepatozoon are responsible for diseases with non-specific clinical signs in cats, making essential the use of molecular techniques for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. The present work aimed to investigate the occurrence and molecular identity of tick-borne agents (Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Babesia/Theileria, Cytauxzoon, and Hepatozoon) in cats from southeastern (states of São Paulo (SP) and Minas Gerais (MG)) and northern (state of Rondônia (RO)) Brazil. For this purpose, 390 blood samples were collected from domiciled cats in MG (n = 155), SP (n = 151), and RO(n = 84) states, submitted to DNA extraction and PCR assays for Ehrlichia spp. (dsb gene), Anaplasma spp. (rrs gene), piroplasmids (18S rRNA gene), and Hepatozoon spp. (18S rRNA gene), sequencing, and phylogenetic inferences. The overall positivity for Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia spp., Babesia/Theileria spp., Cytauxzoon spp., and Hepatozoon spp. were 7.4% (12.3% (MG) and 6.6% (SP)), 2% (4.5% (MG) and 0.6% (SP)), 0.7% (0.6% (MG), 0.6% (SP) and 1.2% (RO)), 27.2% (41.9% (MG), 24.5% (SP) and 4.8% (RO), and 0%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis grouped the obtained sequences with 'Candidatus Anaplasma amazonensis', A. platys, B. vogeli, and Cytauxzoon sp. previously detected in wild felids from Brazil. qPCR specific for E. canis based on the dsb gene confirmed the molecular identity of the detected ehrlichial agent. The present study expanded the list and geographical distribution of hemoparasites in cats. 'Candidatus Anaplasma amazonensis', recently detected in sloths from northern Brazil, was described for the first time in cats. This is the first report of piroplasmids infecting cats in northern Brazil. Coinfection by Cytauxzoon and other TBA (Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and B. vogeli) reported in the present study raises the need for veterinary practitioners' awareness of cats parasitized by multiple TBA.

Project description:Purpose: In carcinogenesis, the stomach, the MYC gene is frequently amplified and its protein is overexpressed, which contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation mucosal gástrica.Três cell lines were subjected to sequencing semiconductor Proton Ion before and after the silencing of MYC. These lines were originating from diffuse and intestinal histologic types and the third of a metastasis from a stomach tumor originating in a ascites. Methods: mRNA profiles were generated from three established lines of CG previously characterized by our group. AGP01 (Obtained from ascitic fluid of an intestinal-type GC), ACP02 (diffuse-type GC) and ACP03 (intestinal-type GC). The three cell lines present chromosome 8 trisomy and MYC amplification, reflecting the genetic characteristics found in gastric cancer samples from Northern Brazil. They were generated by sequencing depth in triplicate using the Sequencer ™ Ion Proton. Raw data reads Obtained by primary sequencing Were Submitted to quality control in order to calculate alignment and to assess how the reads behave When Compared to the reference human genome (Hg19 / GRCh37). The aligned reads Were mapped and quantified using TMAP. Gene expression levels Were quantified using Sailfish pack software and the RPKM (Reads Per kilobase per Million mapped reads) method was used to estimate Then expression levels gene. Results: Using analysis of an optimized workflow, we mapped more than 13 million readings sequences between our samples from the human genome. Were mapped a total of 917 up-regulated genes and 1,566 different genes down-regulated Were When comparing the expression of AGP01 non-targeting control (1C) versus AGP01 MYC-silenced (1M), with a total of 2,483 DEGS. The evaluation of ACP02 cells treated with non-targeting control (2C) versus ACP02 MYC-silenced (2M) Showed a total of 5,327 DEGS, with 1,299 up-regulated and 4,098 down-regulated genes. The total of 4,117 were found DEGS When comparing ACP03 control cells (3C) with ACP03 MYC-silenced cells, with 3,274 up-regulated and 843 down-regulated genes. Silencing of the MYC gene, allowed the detection of more than 1,000 DEGS (Differentially Expressed Genes) between the three strains that were considered significant if the False Discovery Rate (FDR) was ≤0.001, P-value <0.05, and the absolute value of the Fold change (FC) was ≥1. The analysis of DEGS showed 22% and 34% were detected with a profile down-regulated in intestinal and diffuse type, respectively. The up-regulated profile was higher in the intestinal type, with 77% of DEGS than the diffuse type with 13% DEGS. Furthermore, the lineage from metastasis showed 33% of DEGS up-regulated and 66% of DEGS down-regulated. Conclusions: Our study is the first to describe bioinformatics methods the effect before and after the silencing of the MYC gene in cell lines of gastric cancer northern people of Brazil. Our results showed that depending on the histological type there are many functional genes between the three strains that were recorded significantly associated with pathways enriched for cancer, metabolism, adhesion, cell cycle, proteolysis and signaling, suggesting the existence of routes of different carcinogenesis that lead normal mucosa to turn into gastric cancer.
