Small RNA and AGO1 CLIP-seq libraries of female Aedes aegypti fat body

ABSTRACT: In this work, we aimed to explore miRNA expression and potential targets in the female fat body of the Ae. aegypti mosquito, as well as their changes as a result of blood meal. The fat body is the metabolic center of the insect organism, playing a key role in reproduction. Therefore, understanding of regulatory networks controlling its functions is critical, and the role of miRNAs in the process is largely unknown. Small RNA library analyses revealed four unique miRNA clusters sequentially expressed during the post blood meal (PBM) phase, drawing connections to waves of upstream hormonal signals and gene expression in the same period. To link the miRNA identities with specific downstream targets, transcriptome-wide mRNA 3' UTR interaction sites were experimentally determined at 72 h post eclosion (PE) and 24 h PBM by means of AGO1 CLIP-seq. Hence, the presented manuscript comprehensively elucidated miRNA expression and target dynamics in female mosquito fat body, providing a solid foundation for future functional studies of miRNA regulation during the gonadotrophic cycle.

miRNA expression in Anopheles gambiae tissues

Project description:Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes transmit the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes the majority of fatal malaria cases worldwide. The hematophagous life style defines the mosquito reproductive biology and is exploited by P. falciparum for its own sexual reproduction and transmission. The two main phases of the mosquito reproductive cycle, pre-vitellogenic (PV) and post-blood meal (PBM) shape its capacity to transmit malaria. Transition between these phases is tightly coordinated to ensure homeostasis between mosquito tissues and successful reproduction. One layer of control is provided by microRNAs, well-known regulators of blood meal digestion and egg development in mosquitoes. Here, we report a global overview of tissue-specific miRNA expression during the PV and PBM phases and identify miRNAs regulated during PV to PBM transition. The observed coordinated changes in the expression levels of a set of miRNAs in the energy-storing tissues suggest a role in the regulation of blood meal-induced metabolic changes.

Genome-wide expression profiles during the post-eclosion and pre-vitellogenic stages of adult female Culex quinquefasciatus

Project description:The Southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, is an anautogenous mosquito species that requires a blood meal in order to provision the eggs. Following the eclosion of the adults from the pupal stage, adult female mosquitoes require a period of time for mating and development before they are competent to take a blood meal. In order to better understand the genes involved in preparing the females to take a blood meal, populations of non-blooded adult female Cx. quinquefasciatus were collected from even-aged populations and used for RNA Seq analysis. A total of seven post-eclosion time points were selected (2, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours), which spanned the pre-blood feeding time period and the time period during which the females were competent for the acquisition of the blood meal. Overall, the majority of differentially-expressed genes were identified between the 2 and 12h time points with most genes reaching stable expression after 36h. This study identified the global changes in gene expression profiles over time as the females become competent to acquire the blood meal.

Single-cell atlases of Aedes aegypti midgut and fat body reveal cellular and metabolic dynamics after a blood-meal

Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquito, vector for several viral diseases, undergoes significant physiological changes after a blood meal. Through single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomics, we unveiled dynamic cellular composition and metabolic adaptations within abdominal midgut and fat body tissues. We revealed high cell diversity, specialized in digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction. While the midgut primarily comprises enterocytes, enteroendocrine, cardia and intestinal stem cells, the fat body consists of not only trophocytes and oenocytes, but also a substantial population of hemocytes and fat body-yolk cells (FYC). The fat body, exhibiting a more complex metabolomic profile than the midgut, played a central role in immune and metabolic gene expression, particularly within trophocytes and FYCs. Additionally, insect-specific viruses were detected at the single-cell level, mainly in the midgut at later stages post-blood meal. These findings offer new vector control strategies by targeting specific abdominal cell populations and metabolic pathways involved after a blood meal.

Dataset on fat body proteome of Anopheles stephensi Liston

Project description:Fat body is an important tissue in the context of vitellogenesis, vector immunity, vector physiology and vector-parasite interaction. However, the proteome of this vital organ has not been investigated in any Anopheline species so far. In this study, we employed multiple fractionation method followed by high resolution mass spectrometry to characterize fat body proteome of female mosquitoes An. stephensi Indian strain. In all, we identified 4, 535 proteins in the fat body and a subset of these proteins were found to be restricted to fat body. Gene ontology analysis of these proteins suggested their role in metabolism, lipid transport, vitellogenesis, mosquito immunity and oxidation-reduction processes. By far, this is the largest proteomic resource of fat body in any mosquito species.

Identification of molecular response to blood meal in the fatbody of Anopheles stephensi using quantitative proteomics

Project description:Fat body is an important tissue in the context of vitellogenesis, vector immunity, vector physiology and vector-parasite interaction. However, the proteome of fatbody and impact of blood meal on the gene expression of this vital organ has not been investigated so far. Therefore, in this study, we made an attempt to identify proteins expressed in fatbody of An. stephensi and their altered expression in response to blood meal. In all, we identified 4,504 proteins in the fatbody using multiple fractionation strategies, which is by far the largest resource of fatbody proteome in any mosquito species. Further, comparative proteomic analysis of fatbody 24 and 48 hours post blood meal led to identification of over 300 differentially expressed proteins. Bioinformatics analysis of these proteins suggested their role in vitellogenesis, lipid transport, mosquito immunity and oxidation-reduction processes. Interestingly, we identified four novel genes,which were found to be differentially expressed upon blood meal. These proteins are potential target for vector control strategies and development of transmission blocking vaccines.

Aedes aegypti mosquito eggshell proteins in response to RNAi-EOF1

Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquito ovarian follicles develop synchronously after taking a blood meal. A single layer of follicular epithelial cells surrounding the oocyte is responsible for secreting a majority of eggshell structural components between 18 and 54 hours post blood meal. We previously identified a protein called eggshell organizing factor 1 (EOF1). When we knocked down EOF1 with RNA interference in female adult mosquitoes, they laid eggs that were not properly melanized, and fragile eggs did not contain viable embryos. Here, we aimed to determine putative downstream eggshell proteins in RNAi-EOF1 female mosquitoes. Our eggshell proteomics identified 220 proteins, suggesting that mosquito extracellular eggshells are composed of a complex mixture of proteins. These proteins are involved in the formation of an intact eggshell that protects the embryonic development and larva from the environment for long periods of time.

A cell atlas of the adult Aedes aegypti midgut revealed by single nucleus RNA-Seq

Project description:Mosquitoes are the most notorious hematophagous insects and due to their blood feeding behavior and genetic compatibility, numerous mosquito species are highly efficient vectors for certain human pathogenic parasites and viruses. The mosquito midgut is the principal organ of blood meal digestion and nutrient absorption. It is also the initial site of infection with blood meal acquired parasites and viruses. We conducted an analysis based on single-nucleus RNA sequencing(snRNA-Seq) to assess the cellular diversity of the midgut and how individual cells respond to blood meal ingestion to facilitate its digestion.
