RNA-seq reveals distinct renal responses to murine trypanosomosis in susceptible and tolerant mice

ABSTRACT: To understand broad mechanisms that underlie differential susceptibilities to murine trypanosomiasis, we infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice with Trypanosoma brucei We obtained kidneys from infected mice at early (day 7) and late (day 21) infection time points and performed bulk RNA seq on the kidney lysates using poly-A enrichment

TbRAP1's dsDNA binding activity plays an important role in subtelomeric gene expression regulation

Project description:We examine the function of the TbRAP1 DB domain in gene expression regulation in Trypanosoma brucei that causes human African trypanosomiasis. TbRAP1 is required for normal VSG monoallelic expression, a key aspect of antigenic variation that is used by T. brucei to evade the host immune response.

Parasite specific 7SL-derived small RNA is an effective target for diagnosis of active trypanosomiasis infection

Project description:Human and animal African trypanosomiasis (HAT & AAT, respectively) remain a significant health and economic issue across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control of AAT and potential eradication of HAT requires affordable, sensitive and specific diagnostic tests that can be used in the field. Small RNAs in the blood or serum are attractive disease biomarkers due to their stability, accessibility and available technologies for detection. Using RNAseq, we have identified a trypanosome specific small RNA to be present at high levels in the serum of infected cattle. The small RNA is derived from the non-coding 7SL RNA of the peptide signal recognition particle and is detected in the serum of infected cattle at significantly higher levels than in the parasite, suggesting active processing and secretion. We show effective detection of the small RNA in the serum of infected cattle using a custom qRT-PCR assay. Strikingly, the RNA can be detected before microscopy detection of parasitaemia in the blood, and it can also be detected during remission periods of infection when no parasitaemia is detectable by microscopy. However, RNA levels rapidly drop following treatment with trypanocides, demonstrating accurate prediction of active infection. While the small RNA sequence is conserved between different species of trypanosome, nucleotide differences within the sequence allow generation of highly specific assays that can distinguish between infections with Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax. Finally, we demonstrate effective detection of the small RNA directly from serum, without the need for pre-processing, with a single step qRT-PCR assay. Our findings identify a species-specific trypanosome small RNA that can be detected at high levels in the serum of cattle with active parasite infections. This provides the basis for the development of a cheap, non-invasive and highly effective diagnostic test for trypanosomiasis.

Neutrophil metalloproteinase driven spleen architecture breakdown hampers plasma cell generation and infection control of trypanosomiasis.

Project description:Recent blood transcriptomic analysis of rhodesiense sleeping sickness patients has revealed that neutrophil signature genes and activation markers constitute the top indicators of trypanosomiasis-associated inflammation. Here, we used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the diversity of neutrophils in the spleen. We show that Trypanosoma brucei infection results in expansion and differentiation of four splenic neutrophil subpopulations, including Mki67+Birc5+Gfi1+Cebpe+ proliferation-competent precursors, two intermediate immature subpopulations and Cebpb+Spi1+Irf7+Mcl1+Csf3r+ inflammation reprogrammed mature neutrophils. Transcriptomic scRNA-seq profiling identified the largest immature subpopulation by Mmp8/9 positive tertiary granule markers.

Integrative single cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis reveal reciprocal microglia-plasma cell crosstalk in the mouse brain during chronic Trypanosoma brucei infection

Project description:Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei and induces profound reactivity of glial cells and neuroinflammation when the parasites colonise the central nervous system. However, the transcriptional and functional responses of the brain to chronic T. brucei infection remain poorly understood. By integrating single cell and spatial transcriptomics of the mouse brain, we identified that glial responses triggered by infection are readily detected in the proximity to the circumventricular organs, including the lateral and 3rd ventricle. This coincides with the spatial localisation of both slender and stumpy forms of T. brucei. Furthermore, in silico predictions and functional validations led us to identify a previously unknown crosstalk between homeostatic Cx3cr1+ microglia and Cd138+ plasma cells mediated by IL-10 and B cell activating factor (BAFF) signalling. This study provides important insights and resources to improve understanding of the molecular and cellular responses in the brain during infection with African trypanosomes.

Then, infected and infection self cleared flies midgut were dissected for RNA extraction.

Transcriptional differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei during in vitro acquisition of resistance to acoziborole

Project description:Purpose: Acoziborole is a recently developed benzoxaborole class compound, currently in clinical trials, for stage 1 and stage 2 treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis. Recent studies have made significant progress in determining the molecular mode of action of acoziborole. However, less is known about the potential mechanisms leading to acoziborole resistance in trypanosomes. By characterising in vitro drug-resistance, this study aimed to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in acoziborole resistance in the clinicaly relevant Trypanosoma brucei Methods: Drug resistance was generated in vitro through incremental dosage of acoziborole. RNA was isolated from axenic cultures of drug-resistant and parental drug sensitive cells and submitted for RNA-seq Results: Transcriptomics analysis revealed widepread downregulation of transcripts associated with mammalian-infective bloodstream-form parasites. Conversely, transcripts associated with insect-stage procyclic form parasites were increased, indicating that the resistant cells had undergone an unspecified "differentiation event", albeit on a transcriptomic level Conclusions: Trypanosoma brucei resistance to acoziborole can be generated under in vitro axenic conditions, and "transcriptional differentiation" is a mechanism of resistance. However, it is unknown whether this phenomenon is relevant to an in vivo setting
