DNA damage regulation and its role in drug-related phenotypes in the malaria parasites. [RNA]

ABSTRACT: The goal of our study is to characterize the global transcriptional resposne of P.falciparum to DNA damageing agents. Alongside, we stidied the epigenetic regulation of DNA damage resposne in parasite. Further, we studied the mecanism which underlined the ARMD (mutator) phenotype of P. falciparum.

Project description:The goal of our study is to characterize the global transcriptional resposne of P.falciparum to DNA damageing agents. Alongside, we stidied the epigenetic regulation of DNA damage resposne in parasite. Further, we studied the mecanism which underlined the ARMD (mutator) phenotype of P. falciparum. In order to elucidate the transcriptiona resposne to DNA damage, P. falciparum 3D7 parasites were treated with 4 perturbating agents for 6 hours. We mapped the global nucleosome occupancy for 3 most responsive histone modifications to DNA damage by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with DNA microarray (ChIP-on-chip). In order to identify the transcriptional similarities between artemesinin and MMS, we carried out 6 hours of artemesinin treatment in triplicates and compared with triplicate dataset of MMS.

Cerebral malaria versus asymptomatic malaria

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.

Heterochromatin protein 1 secures survival and transmission of malaria parasites

Project description:The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum relies on clonally variant gene expression in order to escape immune recognition and secure continuous proliferation during blood stage infection. Here, we studied the role of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), an evolutionary conserved regulator of heritable gene silencing, in the biology of P. falciparum blood stage parasites. We demonstrate that conditional PfHP1 depletion de-represses hundreds of heterochromatic virulence genes and disrupts the elusive mechanism underlying mutually exclusive expression and antigenic variation of PfEMP1. Intriguingly, we also discovered that the PfHP1-dependent regulation of an ApiAP2 transcription factor controls the switch from asexual parasite proliferation to sexual differentiation. This uncovers the first mechanistic insight into the unknown pathway triggering gametocyte conversion and establishes a new concept of HP1-dependent cell fate decision in unicellular eukaryotes. P. falciparum 3D7 parasites expressing endogenous PfHP1-GFP-DD were grown in presence of 4nM WR/625nM Shield-1 (3D7/HP1ON) or 4nM WR (3D7/HP1OFF). RNA extracted from these samples at eleven consecutive time points each was processed for microarray analysis.

Molecular mechanism for switching of P.falciparum invasion pathways into human erythrocytes

Project description:The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, exploits multiple ligand-receptor interactions, called invasion pathways, to invade the host erythrocyte. Strains of P.falciparum vary in their dependency on sialated red cell receptors for invasion. We show that switching from sialic acid-dependent to –independent invasion is reversible and depends on parasite ligand utilisation. Expression of P.falciparum reticulocyte-binding like homologue 4 (PfRh4) correlates with sialic acid-independent invasion and PfRh4 is essential for switching invasion pathways. Differential activation of PfRh4 represents a novel mechanism of invasion pathway control and provides P.falciparum with exquisite adaptability in the face of erythrocyte receptor polymorphisms and host immune responses.

A system for functional studies of the major virulence factor of malaria parasites

Project description:The major virulence factor of Plasmodium falciparum parasites, PfEMP1 is expressed by a multigene family, termed var genes. Here selection linked integration (SLI) was utilized to modify var genes in P. falciparum parasites to select for parasite populations expressing a single var gene. Bulk RNA was isolated from ring stage parasites of these SLI parasite populations and analyzed with next generation sequencing. The proportion of exon 2 transcripts of var genes normalized to transcripts per million was determined per cell line to confirm the predominant expression of the desired var gene.

Transcriptome profiling reveals functional variation in Plasmodium falciparum parasites from controlled human malaria infection studies

Project description:The objective of this study is to characterize the overall transcriptome of P. falciparum NF54 derived from a controlled-human malaria infection (CHMI) study. Healthy, immunologically naïve human volunteers were infected intradermally or intravenously with different dosages of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (Sanaria® PfSPZ Challenge). Parasites were isolated from these volunteers and subjected to a range of in vitro culture generation prior to RNA collection.
