Project description:<p>Parasites can manipulate host behavior to facilitate parasite transmission. One such host-pathogen interaction occurs between the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis (O. sinensis) and the ghost moth Thitarodes xiaojinensis. O. sinensis is involved in the mummification process of infected host larvae. However, the underlying molecular and chemical mechanism for this phenomenon is unknown. We characterized the small molecules regulating host behavior and the altered metabolites in infected and mummified host larvae. Lipid-related metabolites, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) were identified in infected and mummified larvae. Decreased levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and elevated choline levels were observed in the brains of both the infected and mummified larvae. The aberrant activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and relative mRNA expression of ACE2 (acetylcholinesterase) may mediate the altered transformation between ACh and choline, leading to the brain dysfunction of mummified larvae. Caspofungin treatment inhibited the mummification of infected larvae and the activity of AChE. These findings indicate the importance of ACh in the mummification of host larvae after O. sinensis infection.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Lipidome data</strong> is reported in the current study <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS9930' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS9930</strong></a>.</p><p><strong>Metabolome data</strong> is reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS9929' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS9929</strong></a>.</p>

Project description:Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) are among the most common intracranial tumors. Despite a frequently benign course, aggressive behavior occurs for unexplained reasons, especially in functional PitNET. Tumor behavior is known to be under the influence of the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the relationship between TME cells and aggressive tumor behavior has not been adequately explored in PitNET. We used single-cell RNA sequencing and other analyses to comparatively characterize the transcriptome of seven gonadotroph and three lactotroph PitNET and correlate it with clinical behavioral patterns. In our lactotroph PitNET samples, we detect a highly proliferative gene profile with significantly increased expression levels in tumors with aggressive behavioral patterns within a bulk RNA-seq cohort of 134 PitNET samples. We also report high intratumoral heterogeneity in both gonadotroph and lactotroph PitNET and detect gene expression programs belonging to epithelial, endocrine and immunological functional networks in both subtypes. Direct comparison of the lymphoid compartment of both subtypes reveals increased CD4+ T cell abundances in gonadotroph and increased CD4-/CD8- double negative T cell and natural killer T cell abundances in lactotroph PitNET. Also notable is the presence of proliferative lymphocytes, whose occurrence in the bulk RNA-seq cohort positively correlates with more aggressive tumor behavior. Increased CD8+ T cell and natural killer (NK) cell abundancies, however, correlate significantly with reduced aggressiveness indicating anti-tumoral effects. Our study expands the knowledge of the differences in cellular composition of functional and non-functional PitNET subtypes and lays the foundation for further studies on the influence of lymphoid cells on the variable aggressive behavior of PitNET. Regarding the treatment of drug-resistant lactotroph PitNET, proliferative lymphocytes, CD8+ T and NK cells could represent potentially valuable targets for the development of new cancer immunotherapies in the future.

Project description:The first GSSM of V. vinifera was reconstructed (MODEL2408120001). Tissue-specific models for stem, leaf, and berry of the Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar were generated from the original model, through the integration of RNA-Seq data. These models have been merged into diel multi-tissue models to study the interactions between tissues at light and dark phases.
