Project description:Parasite gene expression differences have been reported previously between RH-ERP, RH-JSR and GT1. To independently confirm these gene expression differences, we examined the parasite gene expression profiles of RH-ERP, RH-JSR and GT1 through microarray. Three type I strains of Toxoplasma gondii were compared with one array each, and these were used to verify data from previous studies.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that continuous in vitro passage can result in changes to the global gene expression profiles in mammalian cells. To examine the extent of gene expression differences between highly homologous type I strains, we took advantage of the T. gondii Affymetrix microarray containing probes to more than 8,000 genes. We compared the RH-JSR and GT1 strains, two isolates that share the small plaque phenotype, to the large plaque isolate RH-ERP2009. Following hybridization and normalization of data, we used two independent methods to generate lists of genes with expression differences that were statistically significant and 2-fold or greater in at least one sample. The 1-way ANOVA (P ≤ 0.05) identified 520 genes that were significantly differentially expressed between GT1, RH-ERP2009 and RH-JSR. Statistical Analysis of Microarray (SAM) (FDR = .05%) analysis identified 475 transcripts that were differentially expressed. Both lists were combined (610 genes) and used to perform pairwise fold comparisons between the three samples. This process identified 113 genes that were similarly expressed in GT1 and RH-JSR and differentially expressed in RH-ERP2009. Differentially expressed genes were located across all chromosomes and showed no pattern of clustering to one particular region of the genome. Interestingly, three out of 34 ABC transporters (ToxoDB) were significantly upregulated in RH-ERP2009 (hypergeometric distribution, P = 0.01)

Three biological replicates were obtained for each strain.

Project description:Type I strains of Toxoplasma gondii exhibit phenotypic variation, but it is uncertain how differently type I strains modulate the host cell. We determined differential host modulation by type I strains through microarray. HFFs were infected with RH-ERP, RH-JSR and GT1 for 24 hours. Total RNA was isolated and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133A 2.0 arrays.

Project description:The normally virulent type-I RH parasite is rendered avirulent when lacking ROP5. The avirulent phenotype is a consequence of interaction with the host innate immune system. We sought to understand if ROP5 alters host gene expression in order to escape host defenses. We saw no gene expression differences between host cells infected with wt (RH∆ku80) or RH∆ku80∆rop5 parasites. We have included uninfected HFF samples that were harvested in parallel with the infected samples.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed obligate intracellular parasite which can cause zoonotic toxoplasmosis with great harms. The average death time of mice that infected with Toxoplasma gondii RH strain tachyzoites recovered from the liquid nitrogen was shortened after multiple generations. It has been reported that the parasite is in a state of static virulence during cryopreservation and the virulence of the protozoan parasite can be enhanced after continuous passages in hosts under laboratory conditions. However, no research has been conducted to elucidate its biological mechanism. Herein, we sequenced the T. gondii transcriptome using RNA-Seq technology and performed de novo assembly to investigated the virulence factors expression changes by comparing gene expression profiles between incipiently recovered and completely resuscitated tachyzoites. Transcriptome analysis identified 1,951 differentially expressed transcripts in infected liver, of which 1,752 were significantly downregulated and 199 upregulated. We identified many differentially expressed proteins and genes, including serine/threonine kinase, calnexin, myosin and microtubule-associated protein which have previously been reported to be either involved in cell adhesion, parasite gliding or participate in cell invasion. The great majority of the virulence factors including microneme proteins, rhoptry proteins and dense granule proteins were upregulated in fully recovered tachyzoites. The enhanced virulence of recovered Toxoplasma gondii RH strain from the liquid nitrogen is associated with the up-regulated expression of MICs, ROPs and GRAs. Our data will facilitate future genomic research and in-depth annotation of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain genomes. This study provides a profile of the candidate genes that are suspected to be involved with virulence enhancement of recovered Toxoplasma gondii RH strain tachyzoites. Many further studies should be carried out to confirm the function of the candidate genes. Moreover, the preliminary identification of genes and pathways exhibiting differential expression in complete resuscitation stage may further our general understanding of virulence enhancement in this parasite.
