Tapeworm infection affects sleep behavior in three-spined stickleback

ABSTRACT: Sleep is a complex and conserved biological process that affects several body functions and behaviors. Evidence suggests that there is a reciprocal interaction between sleep and immunity. For instance, fragmented sleep can increase the probability of parasitic infections and reduce the ability to fight infections. Moreover, viral and bacterial infections alter the sleep patterns of infected individuals. However, the effects of macro-parasitic infections on sleep remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated whether macro-parasite infections could alter the sleep of their hosts. We experimentally infected three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with the tapeworm Schistocephalus solidus and used a hidden Markov model to characterize sleep behavior in sticklebacks. One to four days after parasite exposure, infected fish showed no difference in sleep compared with non-exposed fish, whereas fish that were exposed-but-not-infected slept less during daytime. 29-32 days after exposure, infected fish slept more than uninfected fish, while exposed-but-not-infected fish slept less than non-exposed fish. Using brain transcriptomics, we identified immune- and sleep-associated genes that potentially underlie the observed behavioral changes. These results provide insights into the complex association between macro-parasite infection, immunity, and sleep in fish and may thus contribute to a better understanding of reciprocal interactions between sleep and immunity.

The protein profiles of washes from the body cavity of Gasterosteus aculeatus L., infected with the Schistocephalus solidus, and from the surface of the helminth

Project description:The aim of this study was to describe the excretory–secretory proteins from the helminth Schistocephalus solidus and its intermediate host, the three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus L., which are likely to be involved in interactions between them. Combined samples of washes from the G. aculeatus sticklebacks cavity infected with the S. solidus, and washes from the parasite surface were used as experimental samples (samples 5 to 8), while washes from the uninfected fish body cavity were used as control (samples 1 to 4). The obtained samples were analyzed using mass-spectrometry nLC–MS/MS.

A molecular signature for IL-10-producing Th1 cells in protozoan parasitic diseases

Project description:Control of the intracellular parasites that cause malaria and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is dependent on the generation of pro-inflammatory, IFNÃŽÂ³+ Tbet+ CD4+ T (Th1) cells by infected hosts. Immunoregulatory IL-10 produced by Th1 cells serves to mitigate subsequent inflammation and related disease pathology. However, these IL-10-producing Th1 (Tr1) cells can also not only promote parasite persistence, but may impair immunity to re-infection and potential vaccine efficacy. Here, we identify molecular and phenotypic signatures that distinguish Th1 cells from Tr1 cells in both experimental VL, caused by infection of C57BL/6 mice with the human parasite Leishmania donovani, and in Plasmodium falciparum-infected humans participating in controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) studies. Such characterisations allow for the better understanding of Tr1 cell development and function in the context of these parasitic diseases, and for the identification of targets for immune modulation to improve anti-parasitic immunity.

The myxozoans Myxobolus cerebralis and Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae modulate rainbow trout immune responses: Quantitative shotgun proteomics at the portals of entry after single and co-infections

Project description:To date, little is known about the proteomic changes at the portals of entry in rainbow trout after infection with the myxozoans, Myxobolus cerebralis, and Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae the causative agents of whirling disease and proliferative kidney disease, respectively. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide the first proteomic profiles of the host in the search for evasion strategies against single and coinfection with M. cerebralis and T. bryosalmonae. One group of fish was initially infected with M. cerebralis and another group with T. bryosalmonae. After 30 days, half of the fish in each group were co-infected with the other parasite. Using a quantitative proteomic approach, we investigated proteomic changes in the caudal fins and gills of rainbow trout before and after co-infection. In the caudal fins, 16 proteins were differentially regulated post exposure to M. cerebralis, whereas 27 proteins were differentially modulated in the gills of the infected rainbow trout post exposure to T. bryosalmonae. After co-infection, 4 proteins involved in parasite recognition and the regulation of host immune responses were differentially modulated between the groups in the caudal fin. In the gills, 11 proteins involved in parasite recognition and host immunity, including 4 myxozoan proteins predicted to be virulence factors, were differentially modulated. The results of this study increase our knowledge on rainbow trout co-infections by myxozoan parasites and rainbow trout immune responses against myxozoa at the portals of entry, supporting a better understanding of these host-parasite interactions.

Transcriptomic analysis of Plasmodium PBANKA, PBSLTRiP-KO, PB268-KO parasite infected and uninfected host cell

Project description:Liver stage of malaria parasite exports SLTRiP and PB268 to the cytosol of parasite infected host cell. To know the host genes perturbed by WT-PBANKA, SLTRiP-KO and PB268-KO parasite growth, we did transcriptomic sequencing of infected host cells. We did mRNA sequencing of four samples for comparative analysis of WT and PB-knockout parasites infected host cells at 22 hours of post sporozoites infection. mRNA profiles of Plasmodium PBANKA, PBSLTRiP-KO, PB268-KO parasite infected and uninfected HepG2 cells after 22hrs of sporozoites infections were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx.

Longitudinal profiling of the whole blood transcriptional response of human volunteers to repeated malaria challenge

Project description:We took a systems immunology approach to analyse the evolution of the human immune response to the first three infections of life in a re-challenge model of falciparum malaria. Ten volunteers were infected up to three times with Plasmodium falciparum in 4- to 8-month intervals. Remarkably, parasite densities and the dynamics of blood-stage infection were not altered over the course of three homologous infections. To track the development of immunity in real-time we used whole blood RNA-sequencing to analyse each volunteer’s transcriptional response throughout infection and convalescence (up to 9 time points per volunteer per infection).

P. yoelii exos

Project description:Exosomes are a subclass of nanometer-sized vesicles formed by the endocytic pathway which contain genetic and protein material and reflect the contents of their cells of origin. In Plasmodium infections, vesicles derived from the parasite or parasite-infected cells have been shown to induce the expression of pro-inflammatory elements, which have been correlated with manifestations of clinic disease. Thus, these vesicles are of great interest as therapeutic targets, or as vehicles for immunomodulatory control. Herein, the identification and characterization of proteins within naturally occurring exosomes from a rodent Plasmodium yoelii infection is described. Our results establish that exosomes derived from an infection with P. yoelii contain proteins of interest as vaccine candidates (e.g. p235 rhoptry protein, multiple members of the yir multi-gene protein family, and the ribosomal protein S12), uncharacterized proteins which may be good targets of T cell immunoreactivity, and proteins involved in metabolic processes, homeostasis and immunity. These findings add to the growing interest on parasite exosomes and provide a different way to understand the interactions between host and parasite and identify novel proteins potentially targeted by protective immune responses. Together with evidence that exosomes can interact with the host immune system and generate an immune response, these data provide a solid foundation for future studies aimed at novel vaccination strategies in the context of parasitic diseases, where the classical approaches that have thus far failed.
