Project description:Gammadelta T cells from Ugandan children were tested for their responsiveness to stimulation with malaria parasites. Independent PBMC samples from children were incubated with Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells for 6 h post-treatment, and Vdelta2+ gammadelta T cells were double sorted by FACS directly into an RNA lysis buffer. RNA was isolated, amplified using 2 rounds of linear amplification, and hybridized to Agilent Human 8x60k microarrays as a single color experiment.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells likely play an important role in immunity to malaria, but whether repeated malaria modifies the NK cell response remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively profiled the NK cell response in a cohort of 264 Ugandan children. Repeated malaria exposure was associated with expansion of an atypical, CD56neg population of NK cells that differed transcriptionally, epigenetically, and phenotypically from CD56dim NK cells, including decreased expression of PLZF and the Fc receptor g chain, increased histone methylation, and increased protein expression of LAG-3, KIR and LILRB1. CD56neg NK cells were highly functional, displaying greater antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity than CD56dim NK cells, and higher frequencies of these cells were associated with protection against symptomatic malaria and high parasite densities. Importantly, following marked reductions in malaria transmission, frequencies of these cells rapidly declined, suggesting that continuous exposure to malaria is required to maintain this modified, adaptive-like NK cell subset.

Project description:Genome wide transcriptome analyses could reveal whether parasites causing severe malarial disease express different genes to those causing uncomplicated malaria. This knowledge could inform therapy and vaccine design targeting severe disease. Venous samples were collected from patients with severe (n=23) and uncomplicated (n=21) malaria attending a healthcare facility in Timika, Papua Province, Indonesia. This area has unstable malaria transmission with estimated annual parasite incidence of 450 per 1000 population and symptomatic illness in all ages. Severe malaria was defined as peripheral parasitaemia with at least one modified World Health Organization (WHO) criterion of severity. Erythrocytes were immediately isolated from whole blood, solubilised in RNA preservative and frozen. Libraries were 100 bp paired end sequenced on a 2500-HT Hiseq (Illumina) using RapidRun chemistry (Illumina).

Project description:We hypothesized that differential gene expression contributes to phenotypic variation of parasites which results in specific interaction of Plasmodium falciparum with its human host. In this study we used microarray hybridization to analyse the transcriptomes of P.falciparum isolated from asymptomatic carriers and from cerebral and uncomplicated malaria patients. We also investigated the transcriptomes of the 3D7 clone and the selected 3D7-Lib line.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing is revolutionising our understanding of seemingly homogeneous cell populations but has not yet been widely applied to single-celled organisms. Transcriptional variation in unicellular malaria parasites from the Plasmodium genus is associated with critical phenotypes including red blood cell invasion and immune evasion, yet transcriptional variation at an individual parasite level has not been examined in depth. Here, we describe the adaptation of a single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) protocol to deconvolute transcriptional variation for more than 500 individual parasites of both rodent and human malaria comprising asexual and sexual life-cycle stages. We uncover previously hidden discrete transcriptional signatures during the pathogenic part of the life cycle, suggesting that expression over development is not as continuous as commonly thought. In transmission stages, we find novel, sex-specific roles for differential expression of contingency gene families that are usually associated with immune evasion and pathogenesis.

Project description:We compared gammadelta T-cell development and subsets in the thymus of mice in which Shh had been conditionally deleted from thymic epithelial cells using FoxN1-Cre to WT mice, and to transgenic mice in which a constitutively activator (Gli2DN2) or constitutuvely repressor (Gli2DC2) form of Gli2 were expressed under the control of the lck-promotor. We sorted CD27+CD3+TCR-gammadelta+ cells from 4 week old mice and comapred gene expression by RNAsequencing. All mice were on a C57BL/6 background.

Project description:Chronic inflammation during placental malaria (PM) caused by Plasmodium falciparum is most frequent in first-time mothers and is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. In the first genome wide analysis of the local human response to sequestered malaria parasites, we identified genes associated with chronic PM, then localized the corresponding proteins and immune cell subsets in placental cryosections.

Project description:Age is a critical factor influencing the host immune response and disease pathogenesis. In malaria, the risk of severe disease increases with age in non-immune individuals. Malaria disease is in part driven by inflammation, but the specific cells and mechanisms contributing to age-dependent disease risk are incompletely understood. Here, we assessed inflammatory cytokines in malaria in non-immune children and adults, and the phenotypic, functional and transcriptional differences of innate immune cell responders to malaria parasites in malaria-naïve children and adults. During naturally acquired malaria, age was associated with increased plasma levels of inflammatory chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CXCL8, CXLC9, along with CRP, and IDO, which were associated with clinical symptoms. In malaria naïve individuals, classical monocyte and Vδ2+ δ T cell responses from adults were characterized by increased inflammatory cytokine production, and higher transcriptional activation following stimulation with malaria parasites. Classical monocyte responses in adults were dominated by CCL2 production, while in children the response had increased IL-10 production and enrichment in IL-10 signaling pathways upon parasite stimulation. This heightened inflammatory response in adults was not mitigated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Taken together, these findings identify cellular mechanisms of age-dependent host responses that play crucial roles in driving inflammatory responses in malaria.
