Project description:Few studies have assessed the patterns of parasite populations of rodents over a longitudinal gradient in Chile. In this work, the gastrointestinal helminthic fauna of invasive rodents in Chile was examined to assess the association between their presence/absence and abundance with latitude, host sex, and host body condition, and to assess the coexistence and correlation of the abundance between parasite species. Rodents were obtained from 20 localities between 33 and 43°S. Helminths were extracted from the gastrointestinal tract and identified morphologically. Overall, 13 helminth taxa were obtained. The most frequently identified parasite species was Heterakis spumosa, and the most abundant was Syphacia muris, while Physaloptera sp. was the most widely distributed. No locality presented with a coexistence that was different from that expected by chance, while the abundance of five helminthic species correlated with the abundance of another in at least one locality, most likely due to co-infection rather than interaction. Host sex was associated with parasite presence or abundance, and female sex-biased parasitism was notably observed in all cases. Body condition and latitude presented either a positive or negative association with the presence or abundance of parasites depending on the species. It is notable that the likely native Physaloptera sp. is widely distributed among invasive rodents. Further, gravid females were found, suggesting spillback of this species to the native fauna. The low frequency and abundance of highly zoonotic hymenolepid species suggest that rodents are of low concern regarding gastrointestinal zoonotic helminths.

Project description:To determine hypoxia mediated changes in whole blood, normal swiss webster mice were gradually exposed to a chronic hypobaric hypoxic environment up to 8500m, for 2 weeks in vivo. Control, age-matched mice were maintained under normoxic conditions in Kathmandu (c. 1300 mts above sea level). Purpose: To examine and characterize the expression profile of genes expressed at hypobaric hypoxia on Mt. Everest of whole blood in comparison to the control. Methods: At the beginning of the experiment mice were divided into two groups, control (room condition, Kathmandu, Nepal) and hypoxic (hypoxic condition). For conditioning, the hypoxic group was exposed to lower levels of hypobaric hypoxia during our mountaineering expedition to Mt Everest. The oxygen level was decreased according to our climbing protocol from 21% to about 7% over a period of 15 days. Food and water were changed daily during the course of the experiment. After 15 days animals were euthanized after whole blood extraction from V. Cava for further analysis. RNA from whole blood was isolated, processed and used for microarray-based expression profiling. Profiles were generated for genes differentially expressed at control versus hypobaric hypoxia in whole blood using a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0%.We validated the profiles by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: The regional transcriptomes associated with hypobaric hypoxia on Mt. Everest in whole blood were identified. We found 947 genes that were differentially expressed in normobaric hypoxic whole blood compared to control with a 0% FDR and a 2 fold cutoff. Conclusion: Transcriptome level differences exist between control and hypobaric hypoxia in whole blood. Our definition of the synaptic transcriptome provides insight into the functioning of the unique response to hypoxia in whole blood.

Project description:The Norway rat has important impacts on our life. They are amongst the most used research subjects, resulting in ground-breaking advances. At the same time, wild rats live in close association with us, leading to various adverse interactions. In face of this relevance, it is surprising how little is known about their natural behaviour. While recent laboratory studies revealed their complex social skills, little is known about their social behaviour in the wild. An integration of these different scientific approaches is crucial to understand their social life, which will enable us to design more valid research paradigms, develop more effective management strategies, and to provide better welfare standards. Hence, I first summarise the literature on their natural social behaviour. Second, I provide an overview of recent developments concerning their social cognition. Third, I illustrate why an integration of these areas would be beneficial to optimise our interactions with them.

Project description:BackgroundMurine kobuviruses (MuKV) are newly recognized picornaviruses first detected in murine rodents in the USA in 2011. Little information on MuKV epidemiology in murine rodents is available. Therefore, we conducted a survey of the prevalence and genomic characteristics of rat kobuvirus in Guangdong, China.ResultsFecal samples from 223 rats (Rattus norvegicus) were collected from Guangdong and kobuviruses were detected in 12.6% (28) of samples. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial 3D and complete VP1 sequence regions showed that rat kobuvirus obtained in this study were genetically closely related to those of rat/mouse kobuvirus reported in other geographical areas. Two near full-length rat kobuvirus genomes (MM33, GZ85) were acquired and phylogenetic analysis of these revealed that they shared very high nucleotide/amino acids identity with one another (95.4%/99.4%) and a sewage-derived sequence (86.9%/93.5% and 87.5%/93.7%, respectively). Comparison with original Aichivirus A strains, such human kobuvirus, revealed amino acid identity values of approximately 80%.ConclusionOur findings indicate that rat kobuvirus have distinctive genetic characteristics from other Aichivirus A viruses. Additionally, rat kobuvirus may spread via sewage.

Project description:To explore the gene expression prolife in the chroniclly hypoxic myocardium, 8 rats were divided randomly into normoxic (n=4) or chroniclly hypoxic (n=4) group, and were exposed to room air (21% O2) or continued hypoxia (10% O2) for 4 weeks. Heart tissues were collected and RNA sequencing was applied to detect the overall gene expression prolife. Genes with adjusted P-value ≤0.01 (corrected by Benjamini-Hochberg) and |log2_ratio|≥0.585 are identified as differentially expressed genes. RNA sequencing identified a total of 2014 gene with statistical significances, among which 1260 genes were significantlly increased and 754 genes were significantlly decreased. The results showed that gene expression profiling was perturbed in chronically hypoxic myocardium.

Project description:For individuals migrating to or residing permanently at high-altitude regions, environmental hypobaric hypoxia is a primary challenge which induces several physiological or pathological responses. It is well documented that human beings adapt to hypobaric hypoxia via some protective mechanisms, such as erythropoiesis and overproduction of hemoglobin, however little is known on the changes of plasma proteome profiles in accommodation to high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia. In the present study, we investigated differential plasma proteomes of high altitude natives and lowland normal controls by a TMT-based proteomic approach. A total of 818 proteins were identified, of which 137 were differentially altered. Bioinformatics (including GO, KEGG, protein-protein interactions, etc.) analysis revealed the dysregulated proteins were primarily involved in complement and coagulation cascades, anti-oxidative stress and glycolysis. Validations via magnetic Luminex® Assays and ELISA demonstrated that CCL18, C9, PF4, MPO and S100A9 notably up-regulated, and HRG and F11 down-regulated in high altitude natives compared with lowland controls, which were consistent with the proteomic results. Our findings highlight the roles of complement and coagulation cascades, anti-oxidative stress and glycolysis in acclimatization to hypobaric hypoxia and provide a foundation for developing potential diagnostic or/and therapeutic biomarkers for high altitude hypobaric hypoxia-induced diseases.
