Project description:Transmission of malaria is dependent on the successful completion of the Plasmodium lifecycle in the Anopheles vector. Major obstacles are encountered in the midgut tissue, where most parasites are killed by the mosquito’s immune system. In the present study, DNA microarray analyses have been used to compare Anopheles gambiae responses to invasion of the midgut epithelium by the ookinete stage of the human pathogen Plasmodium falciparum and the rodent experimental model pathogen P. berghei. Invasion by P. berghei had a more profound impact on the mosquito transcriptome, including a variety of functional gene classes, while P. falciparum elicited a broader immune response at the gene transcript level. Ingestion of human malaria-infected blood lacking invasive ookinetes also induced a variety of immune genes, including several anti-Plasmodium factors.

Project description:Gene edited mosquitoes lacking a gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase-like protein, namely (mosGILTnull) have decreased Plasmodium infection, which is linked to impaired ovarian development and immune activation. The transcriptome of A. gambiae mosGILTnull was therefore compared to wild type (WT) by RNA-sequencing to delineate mosGILT-dependent pathways. Compared to WT mosquitoes, mosGILTnull A. gambiae demonstrated altered expression of genes related to oogenesis and 20-hydroxyecdysone synthesis, as well as immune-related genes. In the serendipitous discovery zpg, an essential regulator of germ cell development was found to be one of the most downregulated genes in mosGILTnull mosquitoes. These results provide the crucial missing link between two previous studies on role of zpg and mosGILT in mosquito development. This study further demonstrates that mosGILT has the potential to serve as a target for the biological control of mosquito vectors and to influence the Plasmodium life cycle within the vector.

Project description:The innate immune response to a broad class of pathogens is highly conserved across all eukaryotes and has been studied in great detail at the cellular and transcriptomic level in several insect species. However, the commensurate cellular proteomic response, especially of hemocytes, the primary immune cell population in insects, has remained poorly understood. We report on the comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of a phagocyte subpopulation from Anopheles gambiae, the primary malaria mosquito vector in Sub-Saharan Africa. We leveraged the innate phagocytic response of mosquito granulocytes to achieve targeted enrichment for these cells to facilitate the examination of their proteomic response profiles following sugar feeding, as well as non-infectious and infectious blood feeding with Plasmodium falciparum. A comparative integrative-OMICs analysis of existing transcriptomic profiles combined with these proteomic data permitted the delineation of the functional genome of anopheline granulocytes. We observed that phagocytosis, blood feeding, and P. falciparum infection induced dramatic shifts in granulocyte protein expression indicative of broad changes in cellular proliferation and innate immune response priming. Importantly, we identified a large number of hemocyte immune proteins that respond to blood feeding alone, suggesting that granulocytes may play an integral role in an anticipatory immune response prior to immune challenge.

Project description:We custom-built a bioinformatics pipeline to search for 20E-modifying enzymes in the accessory glands of Anopheles gambiae males, searching for ecdysteroid kinases (EcK), ecdysone oxidases (EO), and ecdysteroid-phosphate phosphatases (EPP). To this end, we generated RNAseq datasets of different An. gambiae tissues dissected from virgin and mated females and males, and produced similar datasets for Anopheles albimanus, a South American species that does not synthetize and transfer ecdysteroids during mating. These analyses led to the identification of one candidate EPP and two potential EcKs (EcK1 and EcK2), which we demonstrated are involved in the activity of a male-specific oxidized ecdysteroid (3D20E). We further determined that 3D20E is specifically produced by the An. gambiae male accessory glands and is transferred to females during copulation, where it triggers a series of post-mating responses.

Project description:The transcriptional profile of four tissues for the multi insecticide Anopheles gambiae (Tiassale) and lab susceptible Anopheles gambiae strain N'Gousso. The malpighian tubules, abodmen integument (containing the fat body epidermal, neuronal, muscle and oenocyte cells), midgut and remaining structures were dissected and compared two ways: (i) each body part against the corresponding whole organism (ii) resistant against corresponding susceptible body parts.
