Transcriptomic analysis of Steinernema nematodes highlights metabolic costs associated to Xenorhabdus endosymbiont association and rearing conditions

ABSTRACT: We investigate the potential metabolic costs for Steinernema nematode in relation to the maintenance and vectoring of their Xenorhabdus endosymbionts. we performed a comparative dual RNA-seq analysis of infective juveniles (IJs) of two symbiotic partners: S. carpocapsae-X. nematophila and S. puntauvense-X. bovienii.

The OxyR regulon in the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus

Project description:Xenorhabdus nematophila is a Gram-negative bacterium, mutually associated with the soil nematode Steinernema carpocapsae and this nematobacterial complex is parasitic for a broad spectrum of insects. The transcriptional regulator OxyR is widely conserved in bacteria, but the OxyR regulon can vary significantly between species. OxyR activates the transcription of a set of genes that influence cellular defense against oxidative stress. It is also involved in the virulence of several bacterial pathogens. The aim of this study was to identify the X. nematophila OxyR regulon and investigate its role in the bacterial life cycle. An oxyR-mutant was constructed in X. nematophila and phenotypically characterized in vitro and in vivo after reassociation with its nematode partner. OxyR plays a major role during the X. nematophila resistance to oxidative stress in vitro. Transcriptome analysis allowed the identification of 59 genes differentially regulated in the oxyR mutant compared to the parental strain. In vivo, the oxyR mutant was able to reassociate with the nematode as efficiently as the control strain. These nematobacterial complexes harboring the oxyR mutant symbiont were able to rapidly kill the insect larvae in less than 48h after infestation, suggesting that factors other than OxyR could also allow X. nematophila to cope with oxidative stress encountered during this phase of infection in insect. The significant increased number of offspring of the nematobacterial complex when reassociated with the X. nematophila oxyR mutant compared to the control strain, revealed a potential role of OxyR during this symbiotic stage of the bacterial life-cycle.

Transcriptomic Analysis of <i>Steinernema</i> Nematodes Highlights Metabolic Costs Associated to <i>Xenorhabdus</i> Endosymbiont Association and Rearing Conditions.

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema have a mutualistic relationship with bacteria of the genus Xenorhabdus and together they form an antagonist partnership against their insect hosts. The nematodes (third-stage infective juveniles, or IJs) protect the bacteria from the external environmental stressors and vector them from one insect host to another. Xenorhabdus produce secondary metabolites and antimicrobial compounds inside the insect that protect the cadaver from soil saprobes and scavengers. The bacteria also become the nematodes' food, allowing them to grow and reproduce. Despite these benefits, it is yet unclear what the potential metabolic costs for Steinernema IJs are relative to the maintenance and vectoring of Xenorhabdus. In this study, we performed a comparative dual RNA-seq analysis of IJs of two nematode-bacteria partnerships: Steinernema carpocapsae-Xenorhabdus nematophila and Steinernema. puntauvense-Xenorhbdus bovienii. For each association, three conditions were studied: (1) IJs reared in the insect (in vivo colonized), (2) colonized IJs reared on liver-kidney agar (in vitro colonized), and (3) IJs depleted by the bacteria reared on liver-kidney agar (in vitro aposymbiotic). Our study revealed the downregulation of numerous genes involved in metabolism pathways, such as carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolism when IJs were reared in vitro, both colonized and without the symbiont. This downregulation appears to impact the longevity pathway, with the involvement of glycogen and trehalose metabolism, as well as arginine metabolism. Additionally, a differential expression of the venom protein known to be secreted by the nematodes was observed when both Steinernema species were depleted of their symbiotic partners. These results suggest Steinernema IJs may have a mechanism to adapt their virulence in absence of their symbionts.

Steinernema carpocapsae Breton small RNA sequencing insect in vitro simulation system, from "The genome, transcriptome, and proteome of the nematode Steinernema carpocapsae: evolutionary signatures of a pathogenic lifestyle"

Project description:We report small RNA sequencing of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae. The nematodes were grown in liquid culture in homogenates of pig kidney/fat and infective juveniles were gathered. Then Galleria mellonella insect haemolymph was added to simulate insect infection, control nematodes weren't added haemolymph. Nematodes were collected after two hours after haemolymph addition. infective juveniles S. carpocapsae were incubated with and without haemolymph, three replicates

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

Project description: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.

Comparative genomics of Steinernema reveals deeply conserved gene regulatory networks

Project description:Parasitism is a major ecological niche for a variety of nematodes. Multiple nematode lineages have specialized as pathogens, including deadly parasites of insects that are used in biological control. We have sequenced and analyzed the draft genomes and transcriptomes of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae and four congeners (S. scapterisci, S. monticolum, S. feltiae, and S. glaseri). We used these genomes to establish phylogenetic relationships, explore gene conservation across species, and identify genes uniquely expanded in insect parasites. Protein domain analysis in Steinernema revealed a striking expansion of numerous putative parasitism genes, including certain protease and protease inhibitor families, as well as fatty acid- and retinol-binding proteins. Stage-specific gene expression of some of these expanded families further supports the notion that they are involved in insect parasitism by Steinernema. We show that sets of novel conserved non-coding regulatory motifs are associated with orthologous genes in Steinernema and Caenorhabditis. We have identified a set of expanded gene families that are likely to be involved in parasitism. We have also identified a set of non-coding motifs associated with groups of orthologous genes in Steinernema and Caenorhabditis involved in neurogenesis and embryonic development that are likely part of conserved protein–DNA relationships shared between these two genera.
