Parasite specific 7SL-derived small RNA is an effective target for diagnosis of active trypanosomiasis infection

Project description:Human and animal African trypanosomiasis (HAT & AAT, respectively) remain a significant health and economic issue across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control of AAT and potential eradication of HAT requires affordable, sensitive and specific diagnostic tests that can be used in the field. Small RNAs in the blood or serum are attractive disease biomarkers due to their stability, accessibility and available technologies for detection. Using RNAseq, we have identified a trypanosome specific small RNA to be present at high levels in the serum of infected cattle. The small RNA is derived from the non-coding 7SL RNA of the peptide signal recognition particle and is detected in the serum of infected cattle at significantly higher levels than in the parasite, suggesting active processing and secretion. We show effective detection of the small RNA in the serum of infected cattle using a custom qRT-PCR assay. Strikingly, the RNA can be detected before microscopy detection of parasitaemia in the blood, and it can also be detected during remission periods of infection when no parasitaemia is detectable by microscopy. However, RNA levels rapidly drop following treatment with trypanocides, demonstrating accurate prediction of active infection. While the small RNA sequence is conserved between different species of trypanosome, nucleotide differences within the sequence allow generation of highly specific assays that can distinguish between infections with Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax. Finally, we demonstrate effective detection of the small RNA directly from serum, without the need for pre-processing, with a single step qRT-PCR assay. Our findings identify a species-specific trypanosome small RNA that can be detected at high levels in the serum of cattle with active parasite infections. This provides the basis for the development of a cheap, non-invasive and highly effective diagnostic test for trypanosomiasis.

Circulating Tumor Cell(CTC) Isolation and Genonic varation Detection from Liquid Samples of Lung Cancer

Project description:We developed an enrichment-free, metabolic-based assay for rapid detection of tumor cells in the pleural effusion and peripheral blood samples. All nucleated cells are plated on microwell chips that contain 200,000 addressable microwells and then screened the chips. After candidate tumor cells were identified, retrieved single tumor cells with micromanipultor. To detection and analysis molecular characterization of these circulating tumor cells, we performed single cell whole genome amplification with multiple displacement amplification (MDA) technology and whole exome sequencing.

A domino effect in drug action: From metabolic assault towards parasite differentiation

Project description:Glycolysis is the sole free-energy source for the deadly parasite Trypanosoma brucei and is therefore a possible target pathway for anti-trypanosomal drugs. Plasma-membrane glucose transport exerts high control over trypanosome glycolysis and hence the transporter is a promising drug target. Here we show that at high inhibitor concentrations, inhibition of trypanosome glucose transport causes cell death. Most interestingly, sublethal concentrations initiate a domino effect in which network adaptations enhance inhibition.

Identification of sequence-specific promoters driving polycistronic transcription initiation by RNA Polymerase II in trypanosomes

Project description:Protein coding genes in the trypanosome genome are organized in polycistronic transcription units (PTUs). How RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) initiates PTU transcription has not been resolved and the current model favors initiation driven by chromatin epigenetic marks, rather than core-promoters. Here, we identify sequence-specific core promoters by functional characterization of ChIP-Seq Pol II accumulation-peaks. Sequences located between oppositely orientated PTUs contained two independent and distinct core promoters, driving unidirectional transcription. Detailed analysis of one promoter identified 75 bp, necessary and sufficient to fully drive reporter expression, and containing short functional motifs. Analysis of further promoters suggested activity and initiation is regulated and both, focused and dispersed transcription patterns were found. Thus, in contrast to the model of unregulated and promoter-independent transcription initiation, sequence-specific promoters determine the initiation of RNA Pol II transcription of protein coding genes in trypanosomes. These findings resolve the discrepancy between trypanosomes and other eukaryotes in how Pol II initiates protein-coding gene transcription.
