Project description:The mRNA expression of antimony resistant strains of Leishmania donovani was compared to the expression of the sensitive Leishmania donovani. The antimony resistant and sensitive Leishmania donovani were grown in complete M199 medium with 10% FCS and Penicillin streptomycin mixture. At stationary phase (5 day culture) cells were harvested in sterile Phosphate buffered saline and used for RNA isolation.

Project description:Infection with antimony resistant (SbR) but not with sentitive (SbS) Leishmania donovani (LD) gives rise to aggressive pathology in mammalian hosts, the cause of which is far from clear. Some intracellular pathogens exploit autophagy for their own benefit. Here we show that induction of autophagy in normal macrophages (MF) by pharmacological mediators prior to infection with SbRLD (SbRLD-MF) enhanced their growth as compared to untreated MF, unlike SbSLD-MF. Autophagy was evident in SbRLD-MF from electron microscopical studies showing double membrane-bound compartment around amastigote. In SbRLD-MF there is induction of beclin 1, which forms the platform to recruit other interacting molecules to initiate autophagy. Knocking down the beclin 1 transcription factor Nrf2 and subsequent infection with SbRLD showed significantly lower organ parasites as compared to wild type BALB/c mice. Cessation of autophagy in SbRLD-MF at the later stage of infection is coupled with induction of miR-30a, whose binding to 3'UTR of beclin 1 leads to its post-transcriptional attenuation followed by rise in intracellular Ca++ and apoptosis. SbRLD mediated translocation of AP-1 transcription factor to the nucleus induce pri-miR-30a over-expression. Rise in Ca++ causes caspase 8 activtion leading to the cleavage of beclin 1 and initiation of apoptosis in SbRLD-MF. Apoptosis may favor parasite egress for cell to cell transmission. We also found that beclin 1 expression is present in splenocytes of kala-azar patients harbouring SbRLD but not SbSLD. Our results suggest that SbRLD has evolved a unique mechanism for its own benefit which explains, in part, the cause of aggressive pathology. Peritoneal exudate macrophages were isolated from mouse, grown in 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania donovani and total RNA was isolated from cells at 12, 18 and 24 hrs post infection. Leishmania infected macrophage miRNA expression signature was generated. Cells grown on 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania. The main objective of the microarray analysis of mmu-miRNA in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania donovani infected macrophages are as follows: 1. To study how the expression of miRNA varies in either antimony resistant or antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages as compared to the normal macrophages as a function of time. LPS was used as control. 2. To study the expression of those miRNAs which are differentially expressed in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages at each time point post infection. 3. To identify those miRNAs which are responsible for degradation of autophagy initiating protein beclin 1 mRNA

Project description:Background: Drug resistance is a major problem in leishmaniasis chemotherapy. RNA expression profiling using DNA microarrays is a suitable approach to study simultaneous events leading to a drug-resistance phenotype. Genomic analysis has been performed primarily with Old World Leishmania species and here we investigate molecular alterations in antimony resistance in the New World species L. amazonensis. Methods/Principal Findings: We selected populations of L. amazonensis for resistance to antimony by step-wise drug pressure. Gene expression of highly resistant mutants was studied using DNA microarrays. RNA expression profiling of antimony-resistant L. amazonensis revealed the overexpression of genes involved in drug resistance including the ABC transporter MRPA and several genes related to thiol metabolism. The MRPA overexpression was validated by quantitative real-time PCR and further analysis revealed that this increased expression was correlated to gene amplification as part of extrachromosomal linear amplicons in some mutants and as part of supernumerary chromosomes in other mutants. The expression of several other genes encoding hypothetical proteins but also nucleobase and glucose transporter encoding genes were found to be modulated. Conclusions/Significance: Mechanisms classically found in Old World antimony resistant Leishmania were also highlighted in New World antimony-resistant L. amazonensis. These studies were useful to the identification of resistance molecular markers.
