Project description:Relative expression levels of mRNAs in chicken cecal epithelia experimentally infected with Eimeria tenella were measured at 4.5 days post-infection. Two weeks old chickens were uninfected (negative control) or were orally inoculated with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. Cecal epithelia samples were collected from >12 birds in infected or uninfected group at 4.5 d following infections, in which samples from 4 birds were pooled together to form a total 3 biological replicates in each group. Parasite merozoites were also collected from four infected chickens at 5 d after infections. Uninfected control samples, merozoites and infection group samples were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We used Affymetrix GeneChip chicken genome arrays to detail the chicken cecal epithelia gene expression in the control and E. tenella-infected birds.

Project description:Intracellular parasites reprogram the host functions for their survival and reproduction. Conversely, the infected host attempts to defend the microbial insult. The extent and relevance of parasite-mediated host response in vivo remains poorly studied. We utilized Eimeria falciformis, an obligate intracellular parasite completing its entire life cycle in the mouse intestinal epithelium, to identify and validate the host determinants of the parasite infection. The most prominent mouse genes induced during the onset of asexual (24 hrs) and sexual (144 hrs) parasite cycle include IFNg-regulated factors, e.g., immunity-related GTPases IRGA6/B6/D/M2/M3, guanylate-binding proteins GBP2/3/5/8, chemokines CxCL9-11 and several enzymes of the kynurenine pathway including indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1). These results indicated a multifarious innate defense (tryptophan catabolism, IRG, GBP, chemokines signaling) mounted by epithelial cells, and a consequential adaptive immune response (chemokines-cytokines signaling, lymphocyte recruitment). A notable increase in the inflammation- and immunity-associated transcripts correlated with the severity of infection and influx of B-cells, T-cells and macrophages to the parasitized tissue. Indeed, parasite growth was enhanced in the animals inhibited for CxCr3, a major chemokine receptor on immune cells. Interestingly, despite a prominent induction, the mouse IRGB6 failed to recognize and disrupt the parasitophorous vacuole in the parasite cultures, implying an immune evasion by E. falciformis. Likewise, the oocyst output was impaired in IFNg-R-/- and IDO1-/- mice, which signifies a subversion of IFNg-signaling by the parasite to promote its growth. In brief, the Eimeria-rodent model shows contrasting roles of IFNg-signaling for parasite development, identifies a retinue of potential host determinants, and epitomizes its efficacy for in vivo parasite-host interaction studies. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations on Agilent mouse whole genome catalog 44K arrays. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied.

We used Affymetrix GeneChip chicken genome arrays to detail the chicken cecal epithelia gene expression in the control and E. tenella-infected birds. Infected, uninfected chicken cecal epithelia and merozoites were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization with Affymetrix microarrays. Our goal was to analyze global transcriptome changes in chicken cecal mucous membranes in response to E. tenella infection in vivo. We used infected (T1,T2,T3; three biological replicates) and uninfected (Neg1, Neg2, Neg3; three biological replicates) samples to identify genes that were differentially expressed. Meanwhile, RNA and probes were also prepared from parasite merozoites (Mzt) from infected samples (Mzt) and used as an additional control in microarray hybridization.

Project description:In order to elucidate the infection mechanisms of Eimeria tenella and the chicken immune response, chickens were infected with Eimeria tenella strain Hougton sporozoites. Samples were taken at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 days post-infection and mRNA sequenced. A dual-RNA seq analysis was carried out, comparing the expression of infected chickens during each sampling time point with uninfected chickens and comparing E. tenella samples during the infection with a sample of pure sporozoites. The results show a variety of response signals in the chicken, both previously known and unknown, as well as a clear role for a variety of infection-related genes in E. tenella

Project description:Avian coccidiosis is a major disease of poultry caused by the intestinal protozoa Eimeria. Aviagen line A and line B birds show differential susceptibility to Eimeria infection, with line B birds exhibiting higher lesion scores and mortality. The objective of this study was to examine differential intestinal gene expression between line A and B chicks in response to a challenge with Eimeria maxima. Following challenge with 1 x 10^4 oocysts/chick, greater than 40% of line A chicks had lesion scores of 0 to 1 (on 0 to 4 scale), similar to controls. In contrast, all line B challenged chicks at this same dose had lesion scores of 2 to 4.

Project description:Eimeria are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites which can affect chickens. After exposure to Eimeria chickens establish (partial) protective immunity to the homologues strain. In this paper we investigate the process responsible for Eimeria protection. In order to find host reactions specificly involved in protection to homologous re-infection we investigated the host reactions after primary infection and a homologous or heterologous secondary infection.<br><br>Broilers were mock infected or infected with E.maxima (Max) at one week of age. Two weeks later broilers were mock infected, infected with E.maxima or E.acervulina. Oocyst output, T-cell population and cytokine mRNA expression profiles and Eimeria DNA profiles were measured 2, 4 and 7 days pi. Specific regulation of gene expression profiles was monitored by a whole genome oligo-array containing 20.673 oligoï¾´s at 8 and 24 hours pi.<br><br>

Project description:In order to elucidate the infection mechanisms of Eimeria tenella and the chicken immune response, chicken macrophage cell cultures of cell line HD-11 were infected with Eimeria tenella strain Hougton sporozoites. Samples were taken at 0, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-infection and, purified and mRNA sequenced. A dual-RNA seq analysis was carried out, comparing the expression of infected chicken macrophages with uninfected ones at the same time points post-infection and comparing E. tenella samples during the infection with a sample of pure sporozoites. The results show a variety of response signals in the chicken, both previously known and unknown, as well as a clear role for different sets of SAG and MIC proteins for sporozoites and merozoites of E. tenella

In contrast, all line B challenged chicks at this same dose had lesion scores of 2 to 4. Total RNA was extracted from the jejunum of control and challenged chicks from both lines A and B. Microarrays were used for detecting the expression-changed genes which responsed to the Eimeria challenge. Samples included: four control A chicks, two challenged A chicks with a lesion score of 1 (A/LS1), two challenged A chicks with lesion scores of 3 to 4 (A/LS3-4), four control B chicks, two challenged B chicks with lesion scores of 2 (B/LS2-3) and two challenged B chicks with lesion scores of 4 (B/LS4). The DNA microarrays were processed at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (Virginia Tech) core facility. The raw array data were normalized using GC-robust multiple array (GC-RMA) normalization. Analysis of variance was used for differentially expressed genes based on Welch ANOVA (P < 0.05) and probe set lists were ordered using the fold change analysis provided by GeneSpring software.
