A single-cell RNA-seq atlas of the pathogenic stage of Schistosoma mansoni identifies a key regulator of blood feeding [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The schistosome homolog of hnf4 is involved in parasite blood feeding and stem cell biology. In order to understand the function of hnf4, we performed RNAseq on either control(RNAi) or hnf4(RNAi) parasites to see the transcriptional consequences of hnf4 RNAi

The Schistosoma mansoni nuclear receptor FTZ-F1 maintains esophageal gland function via direct transcriptional regulation of meg-8.3

Project description:The schistosome homolog of ftz-f1 is a nuclear receptor. In order to understand the function of Smftz-f1, we performed RNAseq with samples taken on two days, Day 5 and Day 9, on either control (RNAi) or Smftz-f1 (RNAi) parasites to see the transcriptional consequences of Smftz-f1 RNAi and to find potential transcriptional targets.

foxA RNAi RNA-seq in adult males and females of Schistosoma mansoni

Project description:Schistosome foxA is enriched in the parasites' stem/progenitor cells and the esophageal gland, an anterior digestive organ required for their survival. However, the molecular makeup of the esophageal gland remains unclear. Here, we took a comparative transcriptomics approach using foxA knockdown adult parasites. Differential expression analysis reveals 37 genes commonly downregulated in foxA knockdown males and females, most of which show high enrichment in the esophageal gland.

Nitric oxide-dependent changes in Schistosoma mansoni gene expression

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous intercellular signaling molecule that also plays a role in host-parasite relations. NO acts rapidly, either via regulation of soluble guanylate cyclase, or by direct interactions with enzymes and other proteins, and has also been shown to have effects on gene expression. Here, we use SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression) to identify NO-responsive changes in gene expression in Schistosoma mansoni following a 3 hour exposure to sodium nitroprusside, an NO donor. Overall, these results indicate that NO does not rapidly induce large-scale changes in schistosome gene expression, but that expression of particular genes of interest appear to respond to NO. Keywords: Schistosoma, SAGE, NOS, nitric oxide, gene expression

Absolute Quantification of Schistosoma mansoni Esophageal Gland Products

Project description:Schistosomes are blood-dwelling helminth parasites causing a debilitating disease in the tropics. Major challenges to control the disease persist and vaccines would provide an additional tool, but their development has been problematic. Rhesus macaques can self-cure following schistosome infection, generating antibodies that target schistosome proteins from the tegument, gut and esophagus, the last of which is the least investigated. We developed a dissection technique that permitted comparative proteomics of the schistosome esophagus and gut for detection of secreted antigens. Shotgun proteome analysis of the male schistosomes esophagus identified 13 proteins encoded by microexon genes (MEG), eleven of which were uniquely located in the esophageal glands. Based on this and transcriptome information, a QconCAT was designed for absolute quantification of selected targets. MEGs 12, 4.2, 4.1 and Venom allergen-like protein 7 were the mostly abundant, spanning over 245-6 million copies per cell, while aspartyl protease, palmitoyl thioesterase and a galactosyl transferase were present at <1 million cpc. Antigenic variation by alternative splicing of MEG proteins was confirmed together with a specialised machinery for protein glycosylation in the esophagus. Moreover, some gastrodermal secretions were highly enriched in the gut, while others were more uniformly distributed throughout the parasite, potentially indicating lysosomal activity. Collectively, our findings provide a more rational, better-oriented selection of schistosome vaccine candidates in the context of a proven model of protective immunity.

Gene expression patterns in Schistosoma mansoni larvae and eggs

Project description:Protein variation in blood-dwelling schistosome worms generated by differential splicing of micro-exon gene transcripts. The infective schistosome cercaria develops from an undifferentiated germ ball within the daughter sporocyst in the molluscan host, during which considerable morphological development and synthesis of proteins essential for infection occurs. The free-living, non-feeding cercaria is notable for its swimming and host location behaviour. On contact with host skin it rapidly penetrates, replaces its tegument surface membranes, and begins body remodelling, before crossing the dermis to exit the skin via a blood vessel. Such a ‘violent’ transition from snail to fresh water to mammalian host should be accompanied by remarkable changes in the patterns of gene expression. All gene models from version E of the S. mansoni genome (www.GeneDB.org) were incorporated into a 350K feature Roche-NimbleGen, high-density oligonucleotide array. From a map-ordered list, every 13th 50mer was chosen as a probe. Double-stranded cDNA from three biological replicates each of germ balls, cercariae, and day 3 schistosomula was hybridised to the array without amplification. Statistical analysis was carried out using programmes from the Bioconductor suite (Gentleman et al. 2004 Genome Biol 5(10):R80). More than 1000 loci were shown to be differentially expressed in each of the comparisons between the three life cycle stages. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was then carried out to discover the categories enriched in each stage. In addition custom categories based on biological function (e.g. stress response) or parasite tissue (e.g. tegument) were analysed.
