Differential gene expression profile of human neutrophils cultured with Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils (PMNs) are the most abundant cellular component of our innate immune system, where they play central roles in the pathogenesis of and resistance to a broad range of diseases. However, their roles in malarial infection remain poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the transcriptional gene profile of human PMNs in response to Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes (iRBCs) by using oligonucleotide microarrays. Results revealed that PMNs induced a broad and vigorous set of changes in gene expression in response to malarial parasites, represented by 118 upregulated and 216 downregulated genes. The transcriptional response was characterized by the upregulation of numerous genes encoding multiple surface receptors, proteins involved in signal transduction pathways, and defense response proteins. This response included number of genes which are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of malaria and other inflammatory diseases. Gene enrichment analysis suggested that the biological pathways involved in the PMNs responses to the iRBCs included insulin receptor, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), and interleukin and interferon-gamma signaling pathways. The current study provides fundamental knowledge on the molecular responses of neutrophils to malarial parasites, which may aid in the discovery of novel therapeutic interventions.

Involvement of β-defensin 130 (DEFB130) in the macrophage microbicidal mechanisms for killing Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:Understanding the molecular defense mechanism of macrophages and identifying their effector molecules against malarial parasites may provide important clues for the discovery of new therapies. To analyze the immunological responses of malarial parasite-induced macrophages, we used DNA microarray technology to examine the gene profile of differentiated macrophages phagocytizing Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes (iRBCs). The transcriptional gene profile of macrophages in response to iRBCs represented 168 down-regulated genes, which were mainly involved in the cellular immune response, and 216 upregulated genes, which were involved in cellular proteolysis, growth, and adhesion. Importantly, the specific upregulation of β-defensin 130 (DEFB130) in these macrophages suggested a possible role for DEFB130 in malarial parasite elimination. Strikingly, differentiated macrophages phagocytizing iRBCs exhibited an increase in intracellular DEFB130 levels and DEFB130 appeared to accumulate at the site of iRBC engulfment. Furthermore, DEFB130 synthetic peptide exhibited a modest toxic effect on P. falciparum in vitro and P. yoelii in vivo, unlike scrambled DEFB130 peptide, which showed no antiplasmodial activity. Our data broaden our knowledge of the immunological response of macrophages to iRBCs and shed light on a new target for therapeutic intervention.

Dual scRNA-Seq analysis reveals rare and uncommon parasitized cell populations in chronic L. donovani infection

Project description:Although phagocytic cells are documented targets of Leishmania parasites, it is unclear whether other cell types can be infected. Here, we use unbiased scRNA-seq to simultaneously analyze host cell and Leishmania donovani transcriptomes to identify and annotate parasitized cells in spleen and bone marrow in chronically infected mice. Our dual-scRNA-seq methodology allows the detection of heterogenous parasitized populations. In the spleen, monocytes and macrophages are the dominant parasitized cells, while megakaryocytes, basophils and NK cells are found unexpectedly infected. In the bone marrow, the Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) expressing phagocytic receptors FcγR and CD93 are the main parasitized cells. Additionally, we also detect parasitized cycling basal cells, eosinophils, and macrophages in chronically infected mice. Flow cytometric analysis confirms the presence of parasitized HSCs. Ourunbiased dual scRNA-seq method identifies rare, parasitized cells, possibly implicated in pathogenesis, persistence, and protective immunity using a non-targeted approach.

Identification of GBP2- and NAB2-interacting proteins in malaria parasites

Project description:The quality control and export of mRNA by RNA-binding proteins are necessary for the survival of malaria parasites, which have complex life cycles. Malarial nuclear poly(A) binding protein 2 (NAB2), ALWAYS EARLY (ALY) and serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins, such as nucleolar protein 3 (NPL3), G-strand binding protein 2 (GBP2) and SR1, are involved in nuclear mRNA export in malaria parasites. However, their functions and cellular localization are not fully understood. In this study, we found that NAB2 and SR1, but not ALY, NPL3 or GBP2, played essential roles in the asexual development of malaria parasites, while GBP2 was involved in gametocyte production. Moreover, GBP2 localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm of malaria parasites and interacted with the proteins ALBA4, DOZI and CITH, which play roles in translational repression. Our findings suggest that malarial GBP2 may be involved in the recruitment of ALBA4, DOZI and CITH. Immunoprecipitation coupled to mass spectrometry (IP-MS) revealed that PHAX domain-containing protein, an adaptor protein for exportin-1, also interacted with GBP2, suggesting that mRNA export occurs via the PHAX domain-containing protein pathway in malaria parasites. Fluorescence live cell imaging revealed that malarial NAB2 localized at the nuclear periphery and co-localized with NUP205. Moreover, using IP-MS, we found that malarial NAB2 interacted with transportin. RNA immunoprecipitation coupled to RNA sequencing revealed that malarial NAB2 bound directly to 143 mRNAs, including those encoding 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins. This indicates that malarial NAB2 is involved in general mRNA assembly and is shuttled between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Our findings suggest that unique mRNA export and post-transcriptional gene regulation mediated by RNA-binding proteins occur in malaria parasites.

Expression profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839 wild type and nadk1 mutant under oxidative stress conditions

Project description:Phagocytosis and killing of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) is the major antipseudomonal host defense of vertebrates. By screening a transposon library of the clinical P. aeruginosa isolate TBCF10839 that can grow and replicate in PMNs, a mutant was identified that was most strongly sensitized to killing by PMNs. The inactivated gene PA1572 termed nadK1 was found to encode an ATP:NAD kinase. The transcriptomes of the TBCF10839 wild type and nadK1 mutant were investigated in the presence of PMNs or H2O2. Exposure to H2O2 led to diametrical mRNA expression profiles. H2O2-degrading enzymes were upregulated by wild type, but not by nadK1 mutant. This data demonstrates that NadK1 is crucial for the response of P. aeruginosa to reactive oxygen species. The transcriptomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839 wild type and nadK1 mutant were comparatively investigated in the presence of polymorphonuclear neutrophils or H2O2 in order to investigate the role of NadK1 in oxidative stress response. These samples represent test samples. The expression profile of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain TBCF10839 wild type cells, isolated from a Cystic Fibrosis patient, was investigated under standard growth conditions in batch culture in Luria broth (LB) with no treatment. These samples represent reference samples. All samples were analyzed in duplicate.

Transcriptomic profiling in fins of Atlantic salmon parasitized with sea lice: Determining the differentially expressed transcripts in fins of lice-infected salmon at 8 days post-infection

Project description:Sea lice (e.g., Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are parasites causing costly disease outbreaks in salmon farming globally. Despite the currently available controlling practices, molecular insights into the parasite-induced host immune responses and host-pathogen interaction will provide the basis for improved and innovative treatment strategies. We investigated the early transcriptomic responses in the fins of Atlantic salmon parasitized with sea lice at the chalimus stage (8 days post-infection). Fin tissue collected from non-infected (PRE) control and at (ATT) and adjacent (ADJ) to chalimus-attachment sites from infected fish were used in profiling the global gene expression using a 44K microarray platform. Microarray analyses indicated that global transcriptomic changes resulted in 6,568 differentially expressed probes (DEPs, FDR < 5%) that include 1928 shared DEPs between ATT and ADJ compared to PRE. A direct comparison of ATT vs. ADJ revealed 90 DEPs, all of which were up-regulated in ATT.
