High throughput screening for chemical inducers of stumpy formation in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:During the bloodstream stage of the Trypanosoma brucei lifecycle, the parasite exists as the proliferative slender-form or the non-proliferative, transmissible, stumpy-form. The transition from the slender to stumpy-form is stimulated by a density-dependent mechanism and is important in infection dynamics, ordered antigenic variation and disease transmissibility. Here, we use a monomorphic reporter cell line in a whole-cell fluorescence-based assay to screen over 6000 small molecules from a kinase-focussed compound library for their ability to induce stumpy-like formation in a high-throughput screening programme. This identified one compound able to induce modest, yet specific, changes in gene expression indicative of a partial differentiation to stumpy forms. This not only provides a potential tool for the further understanding of stumpy formation, but also demonstrates the use of high throughput screening in the identification of compounds able to induce specific phenotypes, such as differentiation, in African trypanosomes.

In vitro generation of human high-density-lipoprotein-resistant Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Project description:The host range of African trypanosomes is influenced by innate protective molecules in the blood of primates. A subfraction of human high-density lipoprotein (HDL) containing apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein L-I, and haptoglobin-related protein is toxic to Trypanosoma brucei brucei but not the human sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. It is thought that T. b. rhodesiense evolved from a T. b. brucei-like ancestor and expresses a defense protein that ablates the antitrypanosomal activity of human HDL. To directly investigate this possibility, we developed an in vitro selection to generate human HDL-resistant T. b. brucei. Here we show that conversion of T. b. brucei from human HDL sensitive to resistant correlates with changes in the expression of the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) and abolished uptake of the cytotoxic human HDLs. Complete transcriptome analysis of the HDL-susceptible and -resistant trypanosomes confirmed that VSG switching had occurred but failed to reveal the expression of other genes specifically associated with human HDL resistance, including the serum resistance-associated gene (SRA) of T. b. rhodesiense. In addition, we found that while the original active expression site was still utilized, expression of three expression site-associated genes (ESAG) was altered in the HDL-resistant trypanosomes. These findings demonstrate that resistance to human HDLs can be acquired by T. b. brucei. Keywords: Trypanosoma, VSG, antigenic switching, HDL-resistance
