Project description:This experiment examined the transcriptional response of juvenile amphibian hosts (common frog, Rana temporaria) to two important amphibian pathogens: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Ranavirus. Common frogs are non-model organisms which do not have a reference genome.

Project description:Tadpoles of the anuran species Rana pirica can undergo predator-specific morphological responses. Exposure to a predation threat by larvae of the salamander Hynobius retardatus results in formation of a bulgy body (bulgy morph) with a higher tail. The tadpoles revert to a normal phenotype upon removal of the larval salamander threat. The objective of the present study was to use our own fabricated tadpole Rana pirica cDNA microarray to profile gene expression patterns during the predation threat.

The objective of the present study was to use Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip to profile gene expression in the tail tissue by different predation threat. Tadpoles of Rana pirica treated with larvae salamander for 8days (brainS1, brainS2, brainS3) were analyzed with triplicate. Controls were cultured for 8days without larvae salamander (brainC1,brainC2,brainC3,brainC4,brainC5,brainC6). Brains from tadpoles after 8days of each treatment were dissected for RNA extraction and gene expression analysis using Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip arrays.

Project description:Tadpoles of the anuran species Rana pirica can undergo predator-specific morphological responses. Exposure to a predation threat by larvae of the salamander Hynobius retardatus results in formation of a bulgy body (bulgy morph) with a higher tail. The tadpoles revert to a normal phenotype upon removal of the larval salamander threat. The objective of the present study was to use our own fabricated tadpole Rana pirica cDNA microarray to profile gene expression patterns during the predation threat. Experimental design used to produce control, bulgy morph and reversion type tadpoles for the microarray analysis was as follows. One group of tadpoles was placed with a larval salamander for 4 days to induce formation of the bulgy morph phenotype; the predator was then removed and the tadpoles were allowed to revert to the normal phenotype for 4 days. This group is termed “8 day out tadpoles”. A second group of tadpoles was placed with the predator for the full 8 days. The control group was not exposed to a predator. Tadpoles from the predator induced groups were sampled at 6 hours, 4 days and 8 days, those from the control group at 0 hour, 4 days, and 8 days. The comparative design of the microarray analysis was performed as (Exp 6 hours VS Cont 0 hours), (Exp 4 days VS Cont 4 days), (Exp 8 days VS Cont 8 days), and (Exp 8 days-Out VS Exp 8 days), respectively. These analyses were performed in triplicate with a dye swap experiment. Samples 0hr~8days were as follows. Sample plate (1~3A):Channel 1-Cy5 Experiment,Channel 2-Cy3 Control. Sample plate (1~3B):Channel 1-Cy5 Control, Channel 2-Cy3 Experiment. In case of 8day-out samples were as follows. Sample plate (1~3A):Channel 1-Cy5 8day-out,Channel 2-Cy3 full 8day. Sample plate (1~3B):Channel 1-Cy5 full 8day,Channel 2-Cy3 8day-out.

Project description:Tadpoles of the anuran species Rana pirica can undergo predator-specific morphological responses. Exposure to a predation threat by larvae of the salamander Hynobius retardatus results in formation of a bulgy body (bulgy morph) with a higher tail. Whereas, dragon fly also induced higher tail tadpole. The tadpoles revert to a normal phenotype upon removal of the larval salamander or dragon fly threat. The objective of the present study was to use Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip to profile gene expression in the tail tissue by different predation threat. Tadpoles of Rana pirica treated with larvae salamander for 8days (S1, S2, S3) or dragon fly for 8days (Y1,Y2, Y3) were analyzed with triplicate. Removal experiments were also treated with predators for 4days and then removed predators from tadpoles (-S1,-S2, -S3) or (-Y1,-Y2,-Y3). Controls were cultured for 8days without predators (C2, C3). Tails from tadpoles after 8days of each treatment were dissected for RNA extraction and gene expression analysis using Affymetrix Xenopus Genechip arrays.

Project description:Abstract: Natural communities of microbes inhabiting amphibian skin, the skin microbiome, are critical to supporting amphibian health and disease resistance. To enable the pro-active health assessment and management of amphibians on Army installations and beyond, we investigated the effects of acute (96h) munitions exposures to Rana pipiens (leopard frog) tadpoles and the associated skin microbiome, integrated with RNAseq-based transcriptomic responses in the tadpole host. Tadpoles were exposed to the legacy munition 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), the new insensitive munition (IM) formulation, IMX-101, and the IM constituents nitroguinidine (NQ) and 1-methyl-3-nitroguanidine (MeNQ). The 96h LC50 values and 95% confidence intervals were 2.6 (2.4, 2.8) for ΣTNT and 68.2 (62.9, 73.9) for IMX-101, respectively. The NQ and MeNQ exposures caused no significant impacts on survival in 96h exposures even at maximum exposure levels of 3,560 and 5,285 mg/L, respectively. However, NQ and MeNQ, as well as TNT and IMX-101 exposures, all elicited changes in the tadpole skin microbiome profile, as evidenced by significantly increased relative proportions of the Proteobacteria with increasing exposure concentrations, and significantly decreased alpha-diversity in the NQ exposure. The potential for direct and indirect effects of munitions exposures on the skin microbiome were observed. A direct effect of munitions on microbial flora included the observation of increased relative abundance of the munitions-tolerant, Aeromonadaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, in the NQ exposure. Potential indirect effects on the tadpole skin microbiome resulting from tadpole-host responses to munitions included transcriptional responses indicative of potential changes in skin mucus-layer properties as well as altered production of antimicrobial peptides and innate immune factors. Additional insights into the tadpole host’s transcriptional response to munitions exposures indicated that TNT and IMX-101 exposures each elicited significant enrichment of pathways involved in type-I and type-II xenobiotic metabolism mechanisms where dose-responsive increases in expression were observed. Significant enrichment and increased transcriptional expression of heme and iron binding functions in the TNT exposures was likely connected with known mechanisms of TNT toxicity including hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia. The significant enrichment and dose-responsive decrease in transcriptional expression of cell cycle pathways in the IMX-101 exposures was consistent with previous observations in fish, while significant enrichment of immune-related function in response to NQ exposure indicated potential immune suppression at the highest NQ exposure concentration. Finally, the MeNQ exposures elicited significantly decreased transcriptional expression of keratin 16, type I, a gene likely involved in keratinization processes in amphibian skin. Overall, munitions showed the potential to alter tadpole skin microbiome composition and affect transcriptional profiles in the amphibian host, some indicative of potentially impacted host health and immune status, each of which suggest potential implications for munitions exposure on disease susceptibility.
