Adaptive regulation of pathogenic factors by microRNA-like RNA directed mRNA cleavage in plant pathogenic fungus Valsa mali

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles by regulating the expression of target genes in plant and animal. However, little known about mechanism of fungal miRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) regulating target gene restricts their functional exploration. In this study, multiple omics were used to identify the milRNAs and their target genes in a phytopathogenic fungus Valsa mali. Many candidate pathogenic factors were found to be regulated by milRNA-directed cleavage way. Absence or downregulated expression of Vm-milRNAs promote expression of candidate pathogenic factors during V. mali infection. Vm-milR16 is a significantly downregulated milRNA during V. mali infection, resulting in significantly upregulated expression of three target genes: VmSNF1, VmDODA, and VmHy1. Overexpression of Vm-milR16 significantly reduces the pathogenicity of V. mali. And all the three target genes of Vm-milR16 are required for the full pathogenicity of V. mali. Further analysis revealed that VmSNF1 regulates the pathogenicity by affecting the expression of pectinase genes during V. mali infection. And all the three target genes are essential for oxidative stress response during V. mali-host interaction. Vm-milRNAs may help V. mali to intelligently use limited resources and adaptively regulate pathogenicity by enhancing expression of pathogenic factors and fitness during infection.

micro-like RNAs and their targets engage in DCL2-deleted Valsa mali

Project description:Dicer proteins are mainly responsible for generating small RNAs (sRNAs). In previous study, two DCL proteins in Valsa mali, the pathogenic fungus of apple tree Valsa canker, were found to be associated with the pathogenicity and generation of sRNAs. In this study, we constructed two milRNA libraries using the the wild-type 03-8 (MVm) and Vm-DCL2 deletion mutant (MD2) strains and the differential expression of miRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) were analyzed based on the deep-sequencing of the wild-type and Vm-DCL2 mutant, respectively. In total, by comparing the expression difference of milRNAs between MVm and MD2, it was found that 33 milRNAs were not detected in MD2, 28 milRNAs were both detected in MVm and MD2. By statistical analysis, one and 17 milRNAs showed up-regulated and down-regulated expression in MD2 compared with MVm, respectively (p<0.05). Importantly, 10 milRNAs were not detected in MD2, and identified to be DCL2 dependent milRNAs. We also identified the target genes of these milRNAs using degradome sequencing technology and found they were associated with protein phosphatase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate mutase, etc. The study will lay a foundation for the comprehensive analysis of pathogenic mechanisms of V. mali, and enrich cognition of the generation and function of fungal sRNA.

microRNA-like RNAs exploring and expression profile in plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum

Project description:To explore the presence of milRNA in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon) and evaluate their expression at different propagules, two categories of sRNAs were identified from Fon hyphae and microconidia by using illumina sequencing. A total of 650,960 and 561,114 unique sRNAs were obtained from the hyphae and microconidia samples. With a previously constructed pipeline to search for microRNA, we then identified 74 and 56 miRNA-like small RNAs (milRNAs) candidates in hyphae and microconidia based on the short hairpin structure analysis, respectively. Global expression analysis showed an extensively differential expression of sRNAs between two propagules. Altogether, 78 significantly differently expressed milRNAs were identified in two libraries. Target prediction revealed 2 interesting genes involved in trichothecene and necrosis and ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (NEP1) biosynthesis predicted to be down regulated by Fon-miR7696a-3p and Fon-miR6108a. These two milRNAs were further validated by qRT-PCR and showed a well consistency with sequencing. The negative correlation expression levels between these two milRNAs and their targets genes imply that they might play a role in trichothecene and NEP1 biosynthesis, and this negative regulation for toxin related gene expression are more specific in microconidia. The present study provides the firstly large-scale characterization of milRNAs in Fon and the comparison between hyphae and microconidia propagules gives a clue on how milRNAs involves in toxin biosynthesis. microRNA-like RNAs in hyphae and microconidia were identified and compared

Identification of microRNA-like RNAs in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei by Solexa sequencing

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs capable of negatively regulating gene expression. Trichoderma reesei is an industrial filamentous fungus that can secrete abundant hydrolases for cellulosic biofuels. Recently, microRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) were discovered in several filamentous fungi rather than T. reesei. The purpose of this study was to explore the presence of milRNA in T. reesei, to characterize the differential expression of T. reesei milRNA under cellulose induction, and to reveal the target genes of milRNA involved in cellulase production. Two small RNA libraries of cellulose induction (IN) or non-induction (CON) were generated and sequenced using Solexa sequencing technology. A total of 664,463 and 529,545 unique sequences, representing 1,271 and 1,021 unique small RNAs, were obtained from the IN and CON samples, respectively. Thirteen milRNAs were finally identified in T. reesei using the hairpin structure analysis. The milRNAs profiles obtained in deep sequencing were validated by RT-qPCR assay. The miRanda program predicts a number of potential targets for T. reesei milRNAs, including several hydrolases and carbon catabolite repressor Cre1.The presence and differential expression of T. reesei milRNAs, along with their predicted targets indicate that milRNAs might play a regulatory role in cellulase induction. This work lays foundation for further functional study of fungal milRNAs and their industrial application.

microRNAs and their targets engage in apple-Valsa mali interaction

Project description:miRNAs were important regulators involving in plant-pathogen interactions. However, their roles in apple response to Valsa canker pathogen (Valsa mali, Vm) infection were poorly understood. In this study, we constructed two miRNA libraries using the bark tissues of apple twig (Malus domestica Borkh “Fuji”) inoculated with Vm (IVm) and PDA medium (control, BMd). Among the all miRNAs, 23 miRNAs were specifically isolated in BMd and 39 miRNAs were specifically isolated in IVm. Compared with BMd, the expression of 294 miRNAs decreased, and 172 miRNAs increased in IVm, respectively. We also identified the target genes of these miRNAs using degradome sequencing technology. In total, 353 differentially expressed miRNAs during the pathogen infection were detected to target 1 077 unigenes with 2 251 cleavage sites. Based on GO and KEGG analysis, the genes were found to be mainly related to transcription regulation and signal transduction. We further selected 17 miRNAs and 22 corresponding target genes to detect the expression profiles during pathogen infection. The results indicate that most of them are involved in apple twig-Vm interaction. What’s more, miRNAs and their corresponding target genes seem to regulate the apple twig-Vm interaction by forming many complicated regulation networks. It is worth that a conserved miRNAs mdm-miR482b, which was down regulated in IVm compared with BMd, has 14 potential target genes, and most of them were disease resistance related genes. More important, the feedback regulation of sRNA pathway in apple twig was much more complex and critical in the interaction between apple bark tissue and V. mali. The results provide insights into the crucial functions of miRNAs in the woody plant, apple tree-Vm interaction.

Pro-inflammatory feedback loops define immune responses to pathogenic lentivirus infection

Project description:HIV causes chronic inflammation and AIDS in humans, though the rate of disease progression varies between individuals. Similarly, simian lentiviruses vary in their pathogenicity based on characteristics of both the host (simian species) and virus strain. Here, we profile immune responses in pig-tailed macaques infected with variants of SIV that differ in virulence to understand the immune mechanisms underlying lentiviral pathogenicity. Compared to a minimally pathogenic lentiviral variant, infection with a highly pathogenic variant results in a more delayed, broad, and sustained activation of inflammatory pathways, including an extensive global interferon signature. Conversely, individual cells infected with highly pathogenic lentivirus upregulated fewer interferon-stimulated genes at a lower magnitude, indicating that highly pathogenic lentivirus has evolved to partially escape from interferon responses. Further, we identified distinct gene co-expression patterns and cell-cell communication pathways that implicate CXCL10 and CXCL16 as important molecular drivers of inflammatory pathways specifically in response to highly pathogenic lentivirus infection. Immune responses to highly pathogenic lentivirus infection are characterized by amplifying regulatory circuits of pro-inflammatory cytokines with dense longitudinal connectivity. Our work presents a model of lentiviral pathogenicity where failures in early viral control mechanisms lead to delayed, sustained, and amplifying pro-inflammatory circuits, which has implications for other viral infections with highly variable disease courses.

Mildly pathogenic Rickettsia-macrophage interactions

Project description:The molecular details underlying differences in pathogenicity between Rickettsia species remain to be fully understood. Evidence points to macrophage permissiveness as a key mechanism in rickettsial virulence. Different studies have shown that several rickettsial species responsible for mild forms of rickettsioses can also escape macrophage-mediated killing mechanisms and establish a replicative niche within these cells. However, their manipulative capacity with respect to host cellular processes is far from being understood. A deeper understanding of the interplay between mildly pathogenic rickettsiae and macrophages and the commonalities and specificities of host responses to infection would illuminate differences in immune evasion mechanisms and pathogenicity. We have used quantitative proteomics by SWATH-MS/MS to profile alterations resulting from infection of THP-1 macrophages with three mildly pathogenic rickettsiae: R. parkeri, R. africae, and R. massiliae, all successfully proliferating in these cells. We show that all three species trigger different proteome signatures. Our results reveal a significant impact of infection in proteins categorized as type-I interferon responses, here included several components of the RIG-1-like signaling pathway, mRNA splicing, and protein translation. Moreover, significant differences in protein content between infection conditions anticipate species-specific induced alterations. Indeed, we confirm a distinct impact on host inflammatory responses between species during infection, demonstrating that these species trigger different levels of INF-β, differences in the bioavailability of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL1-β, and in triggering pyroptotic events. This work reveals novel aspects and exciting nuances of macrophage-Rickettsia interactions, adding additional layers of complexity between Rickettsia and host cells constant arms race for survival.
