RNA-Seq expression analysis of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites adapted to grow in the presence of toxic amount of the Nitric Oxide donor S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)

ABSTRACT: Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite responsible for amebiasis, a disease which is characterized by acute inflammation of the colon. Adaptation of the parasite to toxic level of nitric oxide (NO) produced by phagocytes may be essential for the establishment of chronic amebiasis and for the survival of parasite within the host. To obtain insight into the mechanism of adaptation to NO, E. histolytica trophozoites were selected in vitro by stepwise exposures to increasing amounts of NO donor S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) up to a concentration of 110 µM. These NO adapted trophozoites (NAT) were more resistance to acute exposure of GSNO (350μM), to activated macrophages and have a better capability to invade porcine colon explants compared to wild-type trophozoites. The transcriptome of NAT was investigated by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and it showed only a weak overlapping with the transcriptome of trophozoites exposed to acute nitrosative stress (TEANS).

New insights into amebiasis using a human 3D-intestinal model

Project description:Entamoeba histolytica, the agent of amebiasis, colonizes the human colon and can invade the lining of the colon to disseminate in the deep layers of the intestine. Amebiasis mainly affects poor people in developing countries, where the barriers between human feces and food or water are inadequate. Humans are the only reservoir of E. histolytica and are the sole target organism of the development of the disease, which limits our knowledge of the crosstalk between the colon and the parasite, especially during the acute phase of amebiasis. In the present work, we constructed a three-Dimensional (3D)-intestinal model capable of reproducing important features of the human intestine. Using this model and leading-edge technologies, including tissue and cell imaging, transcriptomics, and proteomics, as well as ELISA-based immune response inspection, the early stages of amebic infection have been studied. The data obtained highlight the importance of several virulence markers already shown in patients or experimental models, but also underscore the involvement of other factors that appear to be key regulators of gene expression or important in the secretome of the infected tissue. In addition, we characterized the cellular stress responses against amebiasis and novel regulatory mechanisms utilized by this parasite to modulate the immune response and survive within the human intestine.

Characterization of an Entamoeba histolytica High-Mobility-Group Box Protein Induced during Intestinal Infection

Project description:The unicellular eukaryote Entamoeba histolytica is a human parasite that causes amebic dysentery and liver abscess. A genome-wide analysis of gene expression modulated by intestinal colonization and invasion identified an up-regulated transcript that encoded a putative high-mobility-group box (HMGB) protein, EhHMGB1. We tested if EhHMGB1 encoded a functional HMGB protein, and determined its role in control of parasite gene expression. Recombinant EhHMGB1 was able to bend DNA in vitro, a characteristic of HMGB proteins. Core conserved residues required for DNA bending activity in other HMGB proteins were demonstrated by mutational analysis to be essential for EhHMGB1 activity. EhHMGB1 was also able to enhance the binding of human p53 to its cognate DNA sequence in vitro, which is expected for an HMGB1 protein. Confocal microscopy, using antibodies against the recombinant protein, confirmed its nuclear localization. Overexpression of EhHMGB1 in HM1: IMSS trophozoites led to modulation of 33 transcripts involved in a variety of cellular functions. Of these, twenty were also modulated at either day one or day 29 in the mouse model of intestinal amebiasis. Notably, four transcripts with known roles in virulence, including two encoding Gal/GalNAc lectin light chains, were modulated in response to EhHMGB1 overexpression. We concluded that EhHMGB1 was a bona fide HMGB protein with the capacity to recapitulate part of the modulation of parasite gene expression seen during adaptation to the host intestine. 6 samples for two groups: 3M and Gir.

Expression data form EhCPBF1 gene silenced strain.

Project description:Enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is a causative agent of amebiasis. One of the major virulence factors of this parasite is cysteine protease (CP). To understand the molecular basis of intracellular trafficking of CP, we identified CP5 binding protein and named cysteine protease binding protein family 1 (CPBF1). To study the function of CPBF1, we generate CPBF1 gene silenced strain and analyzed the expression profile by custom made microarray. E. histolytica G3 strain was transfected with pSAP2 vector or pSAP2-CPBF1 and established the transformats by selecting the transfected cells with G418. After confirm the gene silencing of CPBF1 by RT-PCR, we performed the transcriptome analysis of pSAP2 (mock) and pSAP2-CPBF1 (gene silenced) cells.

Proteomic and functional analysis of the effects of quinoxaline derivatives on Entamoeba histolytica

Project description:Quinoxalines are heterocyclic compounds that contain a benzene ring and a pyrazine ring. The oxidation of both nitrogen of the pyrazine ring results in quinoxaline derivatives (QdNO), which exhibit a variety of biological properties, including antiparasitic activity. However, its activity against Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan that causes human amebiasis, is poorly understood. Recently, our group reported that various QdNOs produce morphological changes in E. histolytica trophozoites, increase reactive oxygen species, and inhibit thioredoxin reductase activity. Notably, T-001 and T-017 derivatives were among the QdNOs with the best activity. In order to contribute to the characterization of the antiamebic effect of QdNOs, in this work we analyzed the proteomic profile of E. histolytica trophozoites treated with the QdNOs T-001 and T-017, and the results were correlated with functional assays. A total number of 163 deregulated proteins were found in trophozoites treated with T-001, and 131 in those treated with T-017. A set of 21 overexpressed and 24 under-expressed proteins was identified, which were mainly related to cytoskeleton and intracellular traffic, nucleic acid transcription, translation and binding, and redox homeostasis. Furthermore, T-001 and T-017 modified the virulence of trophozoites, since they altered their erythrophagocytosis, migration, adhesion and cytolytic capacity. Our results show that in addition to alter reactive oxygen species, and thioredoxin reductase activity, T-001 and T-017 affect essential functions related to the actin cytoskeleton, which eventually affects E. histolytica virulence and survival.

Entamoeba plus Caco2 cells

Project description:Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite which causes colitis and liver abscesses. Using a genomic DNA microarray consisting of 1.6 - 2.0 kb genomic inserts we have generated a transcriptional profile of 1,971 unique parasite transcripts. The arrays in this experiment set were used to (1) estimate relative transcript abundance for Entamoeba histolytica (HM-1:IMSS) trophozoites in mid-logarithmic growth and (2) to examine changes in the transcriptional profile of Entamoeba histolytica when the parasite interacts with colonic epithelial cells (Caco-2). A time course was used such that RNA was isolated from ameba alone and ameba + Caco-2 cells at 3hrs, 6hrs and 9hrs corresponding to 10%, 50% and 90% cell monolayer destruction. At least two biological experiments and three replicates were used for each time point. Groups of assays that are related as part of a time series. Keywords: time_series_design
