Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne bunyavirus that causes severe clinical symptoms and mortality in humans. Haemaphysalis longicornis tick has been identified as the competent vector for SFTSV transmission. Although antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in insects has been well documented, the degree to which RNAi contributes to antiviral defense in ticks is still largely elusive. In this study, utilizing arthropod-borne RNA viruses, including SFTSV, we find abundant virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are induced in H. longicornis after infection through either microinjection or natural blood-feeding. Furthermore, we identify a Dicer2-like homolog, the core protein of antiviral RNAi pathway, in H. longicornis and knocking down this gene exacerbated virus amplification. To counteract this antiviral RNAi of ticks, viruses have evolved suppressors of RNAi (VSRs). Here, we show that reduced viral replication inversely correlated with the accumulation of vsiRNAs in ticks after infection with recombinant sindbis virus (SINV) expressing heterologous VSR proteins. Elucidating the antiviral RNAi pathway of ticks by model arthropod-borne RNA viruses in vivo is critical to understanding the virus-host interaction, providing a feasible intervention strategy to control tick-borne arbovirus transmission.

Project description:Ticks are notorious carriers of pathogens; these blood-sucking arthropods can spread a variety of deadly diseases. The salivary gland is the main organ in ticks, and this organ begins to develop rapidly when Ixodidae ticks suck blood. When these ticks reach a critical weight, the salivary glands stop developing and begin to degenerate. Specific developmental features of the salivary glands are regulated by multiple factors, such as hormones, proteins and other small molecular substances. In this study, we used iTRAQ quantitative proteomics to study dynamic changes in salivary gland proteins in female Haemaphysalis longicornis at four feeding stages: unfed, partially fed, semi-engorged, and engorged. Through bioinformatics analysis of a large number of proteins, we found that molecular motor- and TCA cycle-related proteins play an important role during the development of the salivary glands. The results of RNAi experiments showed that when dynein, kinesin, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase were knocked down, ticks were unable to suck blood normally. The structure and function of the salivary glands were also significantly affected. In addition, four proteins from H. longicornis were found to have very low homology with those from mammals, including humans. Therefore, it is expected that drugs or antibodies targeting these unique sequences can be designed to kill ticks.

Project description:Tick saliva contains many bioactive molecules that are involved in attachment to the host, blood feeding and transmission of pathogens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs with a length of 19-24 nucleotides. They act as regulators of gene expression by binding to their target mRNA at the post-transcriptional level and control a variety of cellular functions, including regulation of growth, metabolism, and development. The detection and characterizations of miRNAs from tick saliva may help explain the molecular mechanisms involved in the interaction between ticks, pathogens, and hosts. They may also contribute to the discovery of vaccines, which can control ticks and the pathogens they transmit. An RNA library was generated from the saliva of fed adult Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks, and it contained 17.4 million clean reads of 18-30 nucleotides. Overall, 319 known miRNAs and 1 novel miRNA were found. The 10 most abundantly expressed miRNAs present in tick saliva were miR-100_2, miR-315, miR-184_1, miR-100-5p_2, miR-5307, miR-184-3p_3, Let-7-5p_6, miR-71_5, miR-1-3p_6, and miR-10-5p_2. The miR-375, one of the abundantly expressed, was subjected to Quantitative Real-Time PCR analysis (qRT-PCR) in various tick developmental stages, as well as in different tissues isolated from adult ticks. The expression of miR-375 in different tick development stages was highest in unfed nymphs and lowest in the egg stage. In the tissues of adult ticks, miR-375 was most highly expressed in the salivary gland. To investigate the possible role of miR-375, Ant-375 was used to inhibit the miR-375. Treated group (Ant-375) had a reduced number of eggs (t(10)= 2.652, P=0.0242), eggs that were partially desiccated, and reduced egg hatchability (t(10)=2.272, P=0.044) compared to Ms-Ant and the non-injected control. This is the first study to investigate the miRNAs profile in tick saliva and the role of miR-375 in H. longicornis. The identification and characterization of miRNA in tick saliva may help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of interactions among ticks, pathogens, and hosts and suggest new vaccine strategies to control tick borne diseases.

Project description:We have designed and experimentally validated the BactoChip, a 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray for simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple bacterial species of clinical interest. The Bactochip microarray targets a novel set of high-resolution marker genes, those genes that most unequivocally characterized each bacterial species. The accuracy of the BactoChip microarray was evaluated using the labeled total DNA of single bacterial species at different concentrations (from 65ng to more than 250ng). The specificity of the developed array was further validated using mixed cultures containing up to 15 different bacterial species in even or staggered amount. We employed the Agilent 'Custom HD-CGH 8x15k Array" (catalogue number: G4427A) and the Agilent'Genomic DNA ULS labeling Kit" (catalogue number: 5190-0419). The microarray successfully distinguished among bacterial species from 21 different genera. The BactoChip additionally proved accurate in determining species-level relative abundances over a 10-fold dynamic range in complex bacterial communities. In combination with the continually increasing number of sequenced bacterial genomes, future iterations of the technology could enable to highly accurate clinically-oriented tools for rapid assessment of bacterial community composition and relative abundances.
