Project description:Theileria annulata is a tick-transmitted apicomplexan parasite that infects and transforms bovine leukocytes into disseminating tumors that cause a disease called tropical theileriosis. Using comparative transcriptomics we identified genes transcriptionally perturbed during Theileria-induced transformation and highlighted a small set of genes associated with leukocyte dissemination. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-down of GZMA and RASGRP1 in macrophages attenuated for dissemination led to a regain in their dissemination in Rag2/gC mice confirming their suppressor roles in vivo. Comparing the transcriptomes of 934 human cancer cell lines to that of Theileria-transformed bovine B cells again highlighted GZMA and RASGRP1 and CRISPR-mediated overexpression of GZMA and RASGRP1 dampened the dissemination potential of human B-lymphomas. The ensemble provide evidence for a novel suppressor function in the dissemination of both T. annulata-transformed bovine leukocytes and human B-lymphomas.

Project description:The experiment investigates bovine gene expression in response to BW720c treatment in uninfected and Theileria annulata-infected cell cultures Theileria annulata, an intracellular parasite of bovine lymphoid cells, induces substantial phenotypic alterations to its host cell including continuous proliferation, cytoskeletal changes and resistance to apoptosis. While parasite induced modulation of host cell signal transduction pathways and NFκB activation are established, there remains considerable speculation on the complexities of the parasite directed control mechanisms that govern these radical changes to the host cell. Our objectives in this study were to provide a comprehensive analysis of the global changes to host cell gene expression with emphasis on those that result from direct intervention by the parasite. By using comparative microarray analysis of an uninfected bovine cell line and its Theileria infected counterpart, in conjunction with use of the specific parasitacidal agent, buparvaquone, we have identified a large number of host cell gene expression changes that result from parasite infection. Our results indicate that the viable parasite can irreversibly modify the transformed phenotype of a bovine cell line. 50% of genes with altered expression failed to show a reversible response to parasite death, a possible contributing factor to initiation of host cell apoptosis. The genes that did show an early predicted response to loss of parasite viability highlighted a sub-group of genes that are likely to be under direct control by parasite infection. Network and pathway analysis demonstrated that this sub-group is significantly enriched for genes involved in regulation of expression and chromatin modification. The results provide evidence that the Theileria parasite has the regulatory capacity to generate widespread change to host cell gene expression in a complex and reversible manner.

Project description:To understand the immune response of cows to the apicomplexan parasite Theileria annulata, we used ex vivo isolate cells derived from two infected calve : Holstein 12886 (Bos taurus), which is known to be susceptible to the disease, and Sahiwal 82H (Bos indicus), which is known to be resistant. The infected bovine macrophages of the two species with Theileria were collected and performed multiome 10X Chromium genomics scRNA-Seq.

Project description:Investigation of parasite (T. annulata) gene expression over the course of the life-cycle (sporozoite->macroschizont->merozoite->piroplasm). The study focused on the expression of known and putative transcription factors, in particular members of the ApiAP2 gene family. Up-stream motifs associated with stage-specifically expressed genes were identified during the course of the analysis. The experiment investigates Theileria annulata gene expression over a differentiation time-course - sporozoite through to piroplasm. 20 samples were analyzed - 4 x sporozoite (replicates), 3 x macroschizont (replicates), 3 x day 4, 3 x day 7, 3 x day 9 (replicates) and 4 x piroplasm (replicates)

Project description:Intracellular pathogens develop elaborate mechanisms to survive within the hostile environments of host cells. Theileria parasites infect bovine leukocytes and cause devastating diseases in cattle in developing countries. Theileria spp. have evolved sophisticated strategies to hijack host leukocytes, inducing proliferative and invasive phenotypes characteristic of cell transformation. Intracellular Theileria parasites secrete proteins into the host cell and recruit host proteins to induce oncogenic signaling for parasite survival. It is unknown how Theileria parasites evade host cell defense mechanisms, such as autophagy, to survive within host cells. Here, we show that Theileria annulata parasites sequester the host eIF5A protein to their surface to escape elimination by autophagic processes. We identified a small-molecule compound that reduces parasite load by inducing autophagic flux in host leukocytes, thereby uncoupling Theileria parasite survival from host cell survival. We took a chemical genetics approach to show that this compound induced host autophagy mechanisms and the formation of autophagic structures via AMPK activation and the release of the host protein eIF5A which is sequestered at the parasite surface. The sequestration of host eIF5A to the parasite surface offers a strategy to escape elimination by autophagic mechanisms. These results show how intracellular pathogens can avoid host defense mechanisms and identify a new anti-Theileria drug that induces autophagy to target parasite removal.

Project description:The invasion of Theileria sporozoites into bovine leukocytes is rapidly followed by the liberation of the parasite from the parasitophorpous vacuole membrane, allowing the parasite to establish its niche within the host cell cytoplasm. Theileria infection induces host cell transformation, characterised by increased host cell proliferation and invasiveness, and the activation of anti-apoptotic genes. This process is strictly dependent on the presence of a viable parasite. Several host cell kinases, including PI3-K, PKA, CK2 and Src-family kinases, are known to be constitutively activated in Theileria infected cells and to contribute to the transformed phenotype. A number of host cell molecules, including the IB kinase and polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), are recruited to the schizont surface, although very little is known about the schizont molecules involved. In this study we used immunofluorescence analysis to detect phosphorylated threonine (p-Thr and p-Thr-Pro) and serine (p-Ser) epitopes on the schizont during host cell cycle progression, revealing extensive schizont surface phosphorylation during host cell interphase. Further, we isolated schizonts from infected macrophages following synchronisation in S-phase or mitosis, and used mass spectrometry to detect phosphorylated schizont proteins. In total, 65 phosphorylated Theileria proteins were detected, 15 of which are potentially secreted or expressed on the surface of the schizont and thus mayight be targets forof host cell kinases. In particular, we describe the cell-cycle stage phosphorylation of two T. annulata surface expressed proteins, TaSP and p104. Phospho-peptides of both proteins were significantly more abundant in schizonts purified from S-phase cells.
