Sex-biased expression profile of Schistosoma mansoni microRNAs

ABSTRACT: Schistosoma mansoni is a dioecious species, that is, it has two differentiated sexes. Interestingly, this sexual species evolved from a hermaphrodite ancestor. Indeed, most Platyhelminthes are hermaphrodites. Here we characterize the microRNAs of S. mansoni and quantify their differential expression between males and females. Mice were infected with Schistosoma mansoni 1-2 weeks prior to dissection. RNA from two independent samples were extracted and sequenced with Illumina MiSeq technology and AB SOLiD 4 technology. Reads were mapped to the reference genome and microRNA detected and analyzed.

Adult stem cells in the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni

Project description:RNAseq experiments to identify gene expression changes following gamma irradiation Adult male Schistosoma mansoni (strain: NMRI) were subjected to 200 Gy of gamma irradiation and cultured in vitro for 48hr hours. After 48hr germ line tissues were removed and RNA was extracted from remaining somatic tissues. Samples were processed for RNAseq using Illumina procedures.

Stem cells rejuvinate the schistosome host-parasite interface

Project description:Schistosomes infect more than 200 million of the world's poorest people. These parasites live in the vasculature, producing eggs that spur a variety of chronic, potentially life-threatening, pathologies exacerbated by the long lifespan of schistosomes, that can thrive in the host for decades. How schistosomes maintain their longevity in this immunologically hostile environment is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that somatic stem cells in Schistosoma mansoni are biased towards generating a population of cells expressing factors associated exclusively with the schistosome host-parasite interface, a structure called the tegument. We show cells expressing these tegumental factors are short-lived and rapidly turned over. We suggest that stem cell-driven renewal of this tegumental lineage represents an important strategy for parasite survival in the context of the host vasculature.

Microarray based analysis of temperature and oxidative stress induced messenger RNA in Schistosoma mansoni

Project description:The body’s defense against schistosome infection can take many forms. For example, upon developing acute schistosomiasis, patients often have fever coinciding with larval maturation, migration and early oviposition. As the infection becomes established, the parasite comes under oxidative stress generated by the host immune system. The most common treatment for schistosomiasis is the anti-helmenthic drug praziquantel. Its effectiveness, however, is limited due to its inability to kill schistosomes 2 - 4 weeks post-infection. Clearly there is a need for new anti-schistosomal drugs. We hypothesize that gene products expressed as part of a protective response against heat and/or oxidative stress are potential therapeutic targets for future drug development. Using a 12,166 element oligonucleotide microarray to characterize Schistosoma mansoni genes induced by heat and oxidative stress we found that 1,878 Schistosoma mansoni elements were significantly induced by heat stress. These included previously reported heat-shock genes expressing homologs of HSP40, HSP70 and HSP86. One thousand and one elements were induced by oxidative stress including those expressing homologs of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Seventy-two elements were common to both stressors that could potentially be exploited in the development of novel anti-schistosomal therapeutics. Keywords: Stress response, time course Eight samples performed in duplicate for each temperature and oxidative stresses at time points 0, 30, 60, and 240 min over a common reference sample for each stress

Qualitative and Quantitative proteomic analyses of Schistosoma japonicum Eggs and Egg-derived Secretory-Excretory proteins

Project description:Schistosome parasites lay up to a thousand eggs per day inside the veins of their mammalian hosts. The immature eggs deposited by females against endothelia of venules will embryonate within days. Approximately 30% of the eggs will migrate to the lumen of the intestine to continue the parasite life cycle. Many eggs, however, are trapped in the liver and intestine causing the main pathology associated with schistosomiasis mansoni and japonica, the liver granulomatous response. Excretory/Secretory egg proteins drive much of egg-induced pathogenesis of schistosomiasis mansoni, and Schistosoma japonicum induce a markedly distinct granulomatous response to that of S. mansoni.

Small RNA content in mouse serum upon S.mansoni infection

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA that play important roles in disease processes in animals and are present in a highly stable cell-free form in body fluids. Here we examine the capacity of host and parasite miRNAs to serve as tissue or serum biomarkers of Schistosoma mansoni infection. Sequencing of small RNAs from serum confirmed the presence of miRNAs and revealed 11 parasite-derived miRNAs that were detectable by 8 weeks post S.mansoni infection. Small RNA content in serum of naïve and Schistosoma mansoni infected mice were examined in two different librarys. 1- prepared according to the 290 Illumina small RNA Sample Preparation Kit version 1.5 and sequenced on the GAIIX and 2- prepared according to the TruSeq Small RNA protocol (without size-selecting small 295 RNA) and sequenced on the HiSeq2

Excretory-secretory proteins released by Schistosoma mansoni-resistant, susceptible and naïve Biomphalaria glabrata

Project description:Schistosomiasis is one of the most socioeconomically harmful neglected tropical diseases in the world. It occurs following infection from parasites of the Schistosoma genus, such as Schistosoma mansoni, which must transition within a molluscan and mammalian host to survive. Previous chemical analyses of schistosome-molluscan interactions indicate that schistosomes orientate towards potential hosts partially through chemosensation, displaying a preference for naïve (uninfected) hosts. Recent advances in proteomic techniques enable sophisticated comparative analyses between infected and naïve snail host proteins. This study aimed to compare the snail-conditioned water (SCW) released by F1 resistant, infected and naïve Biomphalaria glabrata to identify potential attractants and deterrents.

Proteomic analysis of two populations of Schistosoma mansoni-derived extracellular vesicles: exosome-like vesicles and microvesicles

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been characterized from many species of parasitic helminths, and recent experimental evidence supports important functions for their cargo in host-parasite relationships. Here, we carried out a detailed proteomic analysis of two populations of EVs – exosome like vesicles (ELVs) and microvesicles (MVs) – from Schistosoma mansoni. We profiled the proteins present in these EVs (including external trypsin-liberated peptides, cargo proteins, integral membrane proteins (IMPs) and peripheral membrane proteins (PMPs) using LC-MS/MS.
