Project description:Recent clinical LD field isolates still showed antimony resistance (LD-R) even after the withdrawal of pentavalent antimonials in treating Visceral leishmaniasis in India decades back due to the emergence of antimony resistance. Clinical infection with LD-R results in aggressive pathogenesis characterized by higher parasite burden, chronic hepatosplenomegaly, and severe anemia, the reason of which is poorly understood. Thus, it is paramount to unveil the underlying signaling contributing to severe anemia and chronic hepatosplenomegaly resulting from parasite overburden observed in LD-R infection. Our data provides insights into how LD-R modulates murine macrophages in-vitro to proliferate rapidly while dodging off the host immune surveillance at the host-parasite interface at early and late time points of infection as compared to its sensitive counterparts.

Project description:Infection with antimony resistant (SbR) but not with sentitive (SbS) Leishmania donovani (LD) gives rise to aggressive pathology and higher organ parasite load in infected patients, the cause of which is far from clear. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a key route of glucose metabolism in most organisms, providing NADPH for use as a cellular reductant and various carbohydrate intermediates used in cellular metabolism. Alteration in PPP is primary reason behind aggressive pathology and multi drug resistance in several types of carcinoma and other infectious disease model. A time kinetic study with equal inoculum of SbRLD and SbSLD promastigotes and host cells infected with equal number of SbR and SbSLD, resulted in remarkable higher growth rate in SbRLD which is also reflected in terms of their DNA content. Our result showed an activated PPP pathway in response to oxidative stress in SbRLD. Our result suggest that SbRLD have adapted to a higher nucleotide metaboism that provide them a selective survival advantage in presence of drug mediated oxidative stress and explains, in part, the cause of higher organ parasite load in SbRLD infected patients.

Project description:Background: Drug resistance is a major problem in leishmaniasis chemotherapy. RNA expression profiling using DNA microarrays is a suitable approach to study simultaneous events leading to a drug-resistance phenotype. Genomic analysis has been performed primarily with Old World Leishmania species and here we investigate molecular alterations in antimony resistance in the New World species L. amazonensis. Methods/Principal Findings: We selected populations of L. amazonensis for resistance to antimony by step-wise drug pressure. Gene expression of highly resistant mutants was studied using DNA microarrays. RNA expression profiling of antimony-resistant L. amazonensis revealed the overexpression of genes involved in drug resistance including the ABC transporter MRPA and several genes related to thiol metabolism. The MRPA overexpression was validated by quantitative real-time PCR and further analysis revealed that this increased expression was correlated to gene amplification as part of extrachromosomal linear amplicons in some mutants and as part of supernumerary chromosomes in other mutants. The expression of several other genes encoding hypothetical proteins but also nucleobase and glucose transporter encoding genes were found to be modulated. Conclusions/Significance: Mechanisms classically found in Old World antimony resistant Leishmania were also highlighted in New World antimony-resistant L. amazonensis. These studies were useful to the identification of resistance molecular markers.

Project description:Purpose: In this study, we have used a translatomic approach by coupling polysome profiling and deep RNA-sequencing to estimate changes in the translatome of antimony-resistant Leishmania parasites Methods: Leishmania tropica promastigotes were stepwise selected for resistance to trivalent antimony. Two different strains were studied, the L. tropica SbIII-sensitive or wildtype strain (WT) and the derived highly resistant strain (HR). After polysome profiling four types of samples were evaluated by deep RNAseq: total mRNA used as input, monosomes (MS), light polysomes (LP), and heavy polysomes (HP). The DESeq2 algorithm was used for differential expression analysis to identify translational changes at the basal level (HR Vs. WT), translational changes to combat the drug (HR+SbIII Vs. HR), and to compare translatomic Vs. transcriptomic changes (HP Vs. Total input) [see overall design section below]. Results: Differential translational analysis (cutoff of fold change ≥ 1.5 and p-value corrected by Benjamini-Hochberg FDR ≤ 0.05) showed that transcripts composition per polysome fraction was different in the resistant strain. It included several upregulated (Up) and downregulated (Down) transcripts. At the basal level, 2431 different transcripts were differentially translated: monosome (Down: 4, Up: 0), light polysomes (Down: 906, Up: 951), and heavy polysomes (Down: 1096, Up: 1064). Under the antimony challenge, 189 different transcripts were differentially translated: monosome (Down: 0, Up: 2), light polysomes (Down: 9, Up: 57), and heavy polysomes (Down: 30, Up: 134). Overall, most of the changes were identified in polysome fraction when compared with monosomes or total transcriptome. Conclusions: Our study shows evidence that translational control has a main role in coordinating the resistance to antimony in Leishmania parasites. We propose a novel model that establishes translational control as a major driver of antimony-resistant phenotypes in Leishmania parasites.

Project description:Infection with antimony resistant (SbR) but not with sentitive (SbS) Leishmania donovani (LD) gives rise to aggressive pathology in mammalian hosts, the cause of which is far from clear. Some intracellular pathogens exploit autophagy for their own benefit. Here we show that induction of autophagy in normal macrophages (MF) by pharmacological mediators prior to infection with SbRLD (SbRLD-MF) enhanced their growth as compared to untreated MF, unlike SbSLD-MF. Autophagy was evident in SbRLD-MF from electron microscopical studies showing double membrane-bound compartment around amastigote. In SbRLD-MF there is induction of beclin 1, which forms the platform to recruit other interacting molecules to initiate autophagy. Knocking down the beclin 1 transcription factor Nrf2 and subsequent infection with SbRLD showed significantly lower organ parasites as compared to wild type BALB/c mice. Cessation of autophagy in SbRLD-MF at the later stage of infection is coupled with induction of miR-30a, whose binding to 3'UTR of beclin 1 leads to its post-transcriptional attenuation followed by rise in intracellular Ca++ and apoptosis. SbRLD mediated translocation of AP-1 transcription factor to the nucleus induce pri-miR-30a over-expression. Rise in Ca++ causes caspase 8 activtion leading to the cleavage of beclin 1 and initiation of apoptosis in SbRLD-MF. Apoptosis may favor parasite egress for cell to cell transmission. We also found that beclin 1 expression is present in splenocytes of kala-azar patients harbouring SbRLD but not SbSLD. Our results suggest that SbRLD has evolved a unique mechanism for its own benefit which explains, in part, the cause of aggressive pathology. Peritoneal exudate macrophages were isolated from mouse, grown in 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania donovani and total RNA was isolated from cells at 12, 18 and 24 hrs post infection. Leishmania infected macrophage miRNA expression signature was generated. Cells grown on 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania. The main objective of the microarray analysis of mmu-miRNA in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania donovani infected macrophages are as follows: 1. To study how the expression of miRNA varies in either antimony resistant or antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages as compared to the normal macrophages as a function of time. LPS was used as control. 2. To study the expression of those miRNAs which are differentially expressed in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages at each time point post infection. 3. To identify those miRNAs which are responsible for degradation of autophagy initiating protein beclin 1 mRNA
