Project description:PFGRC has developed a cost effective alternative to complete genome sequencing in order to study the genetic differences between closely related species and/or strains. The comparative genomics approach combines Gene Discovery (GD) and Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) techniques, resulting in the design and production of species microarrays that represent the diversity of a species beyond just the sequenced reference strain(s) used in the initial microarray design. These species arrays may then be used to interrogate hundreds of closely related strains in order to further unravel their evolutionary relationships. The Pneumococcus are among most deadly pathogens world-wide. The infections and outbreaks caused by this pathogens is quite frequent despite existing diagnostic network and therapeutic means. Therefore, developing reliable diagnostic tools and efficient (broad-spectrum) therapeutics for Streptococcus pneumoniae remain a public health priority for every country in world today. The comparative genomics study will provide the largest hitherto genomic data sets regarding this pathogen.These large data sets will enable us as well as other members of scientific community to conduct comprehensive data mining in the form of gene association studies with statistical power and significance.

Project description:Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is a parasite prevalent in Brazil and associated with tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL), including cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (ML) forms. The mechanisms of pathogenesis of TL are not fully understood, including some factors related to the host and parasite interaction in response to infection, and especially about Leishmania RNA Virus 1 (LRV1), an endosymbiont virus parasitizing Leishmania species, particularly triggers ML. Molecular approaches are usually applied to compare situations and to understand these interactions. Here, microarray analysis identified 162 differentially expressed genes in LbLRV1+ vs. LbLRV1- infection, with 126 upregulated genes related to IFN signaling, OAS/RNAse L, vitamin D3, and RIG-I type receptors. Additionally, 36 down-regulated genes were observed. Then, two validation assays were performed to confirm these results (RT-qPCR and Cytometric Bead Array). The main results comprise the differential gene expression in cells infected with LbLRV1+ compared to LbLRV1- and control, with overexpression of various genes in LbLRV1+ cells. Cytokine levels showed no significant differences between LbLRV1+ and LbLRV1-. This study highlighted the activation of the OAS/RNase L signaling pathway and the non-genomic actions of vitamin D3 in LbLRV1+ infection compared to LbLRV1- and control. This research contributes to our understanding of the immune response and molecular pathways involved in Leishmania infections, particularly in the presence of LRV1. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression program underlying infection of human mnocyte-derived macrophages with LbLRV1-, LbLRV1+ and identified distinct classes of genes upregulated during this process.

Two hundread fifty five query strains were investigated in this study, with each query strain hybridized against the reference strain, tigr4. Each strain has a single dye experiment. Each oligo is spotted on the S.pneumoniae species microarray once. Positive controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the sequenced reference genome of S. pneumoniae and negative controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the thale cress plant, Arabidopsis thaliana.The microarrays also had Agilent internal controls.

Project description:The genomic DNAs of strains JPCM5 and 263 of L. infantum, strains LV39 and Friedlin of L. major and strains Parrot-TarII and S125 of L. tarentolae were used in comparative genomic hybridizations to reveal the intra-species and inter-species gene content, and to validate L. tarentolae Parrot-TarII genome sequencing results. Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae was first isolated in the lizard Tarentola mauritanica. This species is not known to be pathogenic to humans but is often used as a model organism for molecular analyses or protein overproduction. The Leishmania tarentolae Parrot-TarII strain genome sequence was resolved by high-throughput sequencing technologies. The L. tarentolae genome was first assembled de novo and then aligned against the reference L. major Friedlin genome to facilitate contig positioning and annotation, providing a 23-fold coverage of the genome. This is the first non-pathogenic to humans kinetoplastid protozoan genome to be described, and it provides an opportunity for comparison with the completed genomes of the pathogenic Leishmania species. A high synteny was observed in de novo assembled contigs between all sequenced Leishmania species. A number of limited chromosomal regions diverged between L. tarentolae and L. infantum, while remaining syntenic with L. major. Globally, over 90% of the L. tarentolae gene content was shared with the other Leishmania species. There were 250 L. major genes absent from L. tarentolae, and interestingly these missing genes were primarily expressed in the intracellular amastigote stage of the pathogenic parasites. This implies that L. tarentolae may have impaired ability to survive as an intracellular parasite. In contrast to other Leishmania genomes, two gene families were expanded in L. tarentolae, namely the leishmanolysin (GP63) and a gene related to the promastigote surface antigen (PSA31C). Overall, L. tarentolae appears to have a gene content more adapted to the insect stage rather than the mammalian one. This may partly explain its inability to replicate within mammalian macrophages and its suspected preferred life style as promastigote in the lizards.
