Project description:Fasciola hepatica, commonly known as liver fluke, is a trematode which causes Fasciolosis in ruminants and humans. The outer tegumental coat of F. hepatica is a complex metabolically active biological matrix that is continually exposed to the host immune system. It is highly glycosylated and parasite-derived immunogenic oligosaccharide motifs and glycoproteins are currently being investigated as novel vaccine candidates. We selectively enriched for FhTeg mannosylated glycoprotein subsets using lectin affinity chromatography and identified 369 proteins by mass spectrometric analysis.

Project description:Liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) infection is both a welfare and productivity issue in sheep farming. Death can result from acute infection, and deaths are becoming more frequent as anthelmintic resistance increases. New control strategies are desirable, and vaccination is a good option. Previous studies have shown an experimental vaccine based on a F. hepatica protein, cathepsin L1, (rmFhCL1) may be a viable aid to control liver fluke in cattle/sheep, however efficacy is variable. A trial was conducted on sheep immunized with rmFhCL1 following infection with F. hepatica to understand the immune response changes induced by vaccinination at a molecular level . Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated at four different time points for RNA-Seq analysis. Genes differentially expressed between vaccinated and control animals were identified. Their functional roles were studied using in silico methods.

Project description:Purpose: The miRnome of the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has historically been assembled with limited omic's resources using specific life stages. The goals of this study is to quanity the known and published miRNAs and determine novel miRNAs across three intra-mammlian life stages. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from newly ecysted juveniles 24h post excystment, juveniles at 21d post infection in rats and adult worms during hepatic infection in sheep. Total RNA of each sample was prepared for miRNA sequencing library. Sequenced reads were cleaned and quanitified for F. hepatica mature miRNAs from miRBase version 21 and published miRNAs from Ricafrente et al 2021 using Bowtie tool. Cleaned reads were additionally analysed for novel miRNAs using MiRDeep2 tool in conjunction with the F. hepatica genome and mature miRNAs from F. hepatica, S. japonicum, S. mansoni and C.elegans. Known/published and novel miRNA read counts were normalised to CPM. Results: Of all miRNAs known/published and novel, 124 miRNAs now make up the F. hepatica miRnome. Each life stage exhibited a unique miRNA profile, from which NEJs were the most differentially expressed compared to juveniles and adult. Conclusions: Our study is the first to comparatively assess the miRNA profiles of the intrammalian life stages of F.hepatica simultaneously, from which the miRnome has now been expanded from 77 to 124.

Project description:The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is an economically important pathogen of livestock. Fasciolosis in humans is an important re-emerging zoonosis, with 180 million people at risk. Development of novel control strategies requires an understanding of parasite virulence and tissue invasion, and of how the parasite evades and modulates the immune response during early infection. A combination of immunological and proteomic analyses was employed to investigate the peritoneal fluid of sheep infected with F. hepatica to characterise early tissue invasion and liver pathogenesis. At 18 days post-infection (dpi), histopathology of sheep liver showed white necrotic foci/tracts indicative of F. hepatica migration. Within the peritoneal fluid of infected animals, specific F. hepatica antigen FhCL1 antibodies coincided with an intense innate and adaptive cellular immune response, with increasing numbers of total leukocytes and a marked eosinophilia (49%). Cytokine qPCR analysis revealed IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-23 and TGFβ were elevated but not statistically significant at 18 dpi compared to uninfected sheep indicating that whilst the immune response is developing it has not polarised to the Th2 type associated with chronic fasciolosis. Proteomic analysis of the peritoneal fluid identified 178 proteins, with 25 proteins more highly expressed in the infected animals, based on fold changes in protein concentration compared to the uninfected animals. Components of the liver extracellular matrix, including collagen, periostin and the adhesion protein, VCAM-1, exhibited increased expression associated with early fasciolosis, which may be important in signalling host immune responses to tissue damage. In early F. hepatica infection cellular infiltration with marked eosinophilia, adaptive immune responses and products of liver pathology are evident in the peritoneum. Although cytokine responses are developing they are mixed and not yet polarised to a Th2-type. We have characterised biomarkers of parasite-induced liver damage which could be exploited for diagnosis, and vaccine development aimed at reducing/preventing liver pathology.

Project description:Trematodes such as the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica and the rumen fluke Calicophoron daubneyi are endemic throughout Europe where they tyically infect sheep and cattle. Adult fluke shed thousands of eggs which possess a tougher outer eggshell composed of cross-linked eggshell precursor (or vitelline) proteins. Fasciola hepatica usues di-tyrosine crosslinking (typcial of most trematode species) whilst the crosslinks formed in C. daubneyi eggshells appear to be different, based on histochemical data. Here, the composition of the eggshell of both species was investigated by mass spectrometry.
