Project description:High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of antibody amplicon libraries has become a powerful method in the emerging field of systems immunology. However, numerous sources of bias in HTS workflows may affect antibody repertoire data. A crucial step in antibody amplicon library preparation is the addition of adapter sequences, which are platform-specific short nucleotide sequences. In addition to conventional ligation-based adapter addition, it is also possible to use PCR-based methods such as Direct Addition (one-step adapter addition, DA) and Primer Extension (two-step adapter addition, PE), which have led to the lack of a consensus method and uncertainty regarding the impact of adapter addition on repertoire HTS data. Therefore, we compared all three methods by performing HTS with the Illumina MiSeq platform using total RNA originating from mouse antibody-secreting cells. We used technical replicate-based validation and clonal overlap and rank statistics to demonstrate that the two PCR-based methods produced HTS repertoires equivalent to ligation. Specifically: Nine BALB/c mice (8-10 weeks old, Charles River, specific-pathogen free) were immunized with 50 ug alum-precipitated chicken gamma globulin (CGG) conjugated to 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl (NP, NP-CGG, BioCat). Mice were sacrificed 14 days post-immunization (dpi) and their spleens and bone marrow (from femurs and tibia) were harvested. Antibody-secreting CD138-positive cells were enriched from spleen and bone marrow 14 dpi as previously described (Reddy, 2010, Nat Biotech).

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are unique parasitic nematodes due to their symbiosis with entomopathogenic bacteria and their ability to kill insect hosts quickly after infection. Although it has been widely believed that EPNs rely on their bacterial partners for killing insect hosts, compelling evidence from previous studies challenges this model. We developed an improved method of activating millions of Steinernema carpocapsae infective juveniles (IJs) in vitro to harvest excreted/secreted (ES) proteins for bioactivity tests and proteomics analysis. We found that a low dose of the ES proteins from early activated nematodes is lethal to Drosophila melanogaster adults within 2-6 hours. We analyzed the protein composition of this venom using mass spectrometry and identified 472 proteins. Many of these venom proteins share high homology with those of vertebrate-parasitic nematodes. Among many different families of proteins found in the venom, proteases and protease inhibitors are especially abundant. Some toxin-related proteins such as Shk domain-containing proteins were also detected. We further analyzed the transcriptomes of individual non-activated IJs and nematodes that were activated in vitro and in vivo, which revealed a dramatic shift in gene expression during IJ activation. By comparing the whole transcriptomes and the genes encoding venom proteins between the in vitro and in vivo activated nematodes, we confirmed that the in vitro activation is a good approximation of the in vivo process. In summary, our findings strongly support a new model that S. carpocapsae and likely other Steinernema EPNs have a more active role in contributing to the pathogenicity of the nematode-bacterium complex than simply relying on their symbiotic bacteria. Furthermore, we propose that EPNs are a good model system for investigating vertebrate- and human-parasitic nematodes, especially regarding the function of ES products.

Project description:Bio-electrospray, the direct jet-based cell handling apporach, is able to handle a wide range of cells. Studies at the genomic, genetic, and the physiological level have shown that, post-treatment, cellular integrity is unperturbed and a high percentage (>70%, compared to control) of cells remain viable. Although, these results are impressive, it may be argued that cell based systems are oversimplistic. This study utilizing a well characterised multicellular model organism, the non-parasitic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Nematodes were subjected to bio-electrosprays to demonstrate that bio-electrosprays can be safely applied to nematodes.

Project description:In this study a comparison was made between the local transcriptional changes at two time points upon root knot (Meloidogyne graminicola) and migratory nematode (Hirschmanniella oryzae) infection in rice. Using mRNA-Seq we have characterized specific and general responses of the root challenged with these endoparastic root nematodes with very different modes of action. Root knot nematodes induce major developmental reprogramming of the root tip, where they force the cortical cells to form multinucleate giant cells, resulting in gall-development. Our results show that root knot nematodes force the plant to produce and transfer nutrients, like sugars and amino acids, to this tissue. Migratory nematodes, on the other hand, induce the expression of proteins involved in plant death and oxidative stress, and obstruct the normal metabolic activity of the root. While migratory nematode infection also causes upregulation of biotic stress-related genes early in the infection, the root knot nematodes seem to actively suppress the local defence of the plant root. This is exemplified by a downregulation of genes involved in the salicylic acid and ethylene pathways. Interestingly, hormone pathways usually involved in plant development, were strongly induced (auxin and gibberellin) or repressed (cytokinin) in the galls. In addition, thousands of novel transcriptionally active regions as well as highly expressed nematode transcripts were detected in the infected root tissues. These results uncover previously unrecognized nematode-specific expression profiles and provide an interesting starting point to study the physiological function of many yet unannotated transcripts potentially targeted by these nematodes.

Project description:Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes induce syncytial cells in the roots of their host plants. Cyst nematodes are sexually dimorphic, with their differentiation into male or femaleis strongly influenced by host environmental conditions. Under favorable conditions with plenty of nutrients, more females develop, whereas mainly male nematodes develop under adverse conditions, such as in resistant plants. We collected root segments containing male-associated syncytia (MAS) or female-associated syncytia (FAS), isolated syncytial cells by laser microdissection, and performed a comparative transcriptome analysis using Microarrays.
