Project description:Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread human malaria parasite causing approximately 130-435 million infections annually. It is an economic burden in many parts of the world and poses a public health challenge along with the other Plasmodium sp. The biology of this parasite is very little understood. Emerging evidences of severe complications due to infections by this parasite provides an impetus to focus research on the same. Investigating this parasite directly from the infected patients is the most feasible way to study its biology and any pathogenic mechanisms which may exist. Gene expression studies of this parasite directly obtained from the patients has provided evidence of gene regulation resulting in varying amount of transcript levels in the different blood stages. However, the mechanisms regulating gene expression in malaria parasites are not well understood. Discovery of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) in P. falciparum has suggested that these might play an important role in regulating gene expression. We report here the genome-wide occurrence of NATs in P. vivax parasites from patients with differing clinical symptoms. A total of 1348 NATs against annotated gene loci have been detected using a custom designed strand specific microarray. Majority of NATs identified from this study shows positive correlation with the expression pattern of the sense transcript. Our data also shows condition specific expression patterns of varying S and AS transcript levels. Genes with AS transcripts enrich to various biological processes. This is the first report detailing the presence of NATs from clinical isolates of P. vivax. The data suggests differential regulation of gene expression in diverse clinical conditions and would lead to future detailed investigations of genome regulation. Plasmodium vivax isolates were collected from patients (n = 8) with differing clinical conditions.The patients exhibited symptoms categorized as un-complicated (n =1) or complicated malaria (n = 7). Criteria for determination of complicated disease were based on World Health Organization year 2010 guidelines. Microarray array based transcriptional profiling was carried out to detect prevalence of natural antisense transcripts.

Project description:Human studies of Plasmodium vivax in the bone marrow are scarce. Here, we present a detailed characterization of bone marrow aspirates taken from a P. vivax patient with high parasitaemia on admission and 42 days after treatment. Analysis of miRNAs related to erythropoiesis revealed a distinct series of differentially expressed miRNAs during infection compared to at convalescence. These results suggest that parasites in the bone marrow affect erythropoiesis.

Project description:Malaria parasites transmitted by mosquito bite are remarkably efficient in establishing human infections. The infection process requires ~30 minutes and is highly complex as quiescent sporozoites injected with mosquito saliva must be rapidly activated in the skin, migrate through the body, and infect the liver. This process is poorly understood for Plasmodium vivax due to low infectivity in the in vitro models. To study this skin-to-liver stage of malaria, we developed quantitative bioassays coupled with transcriptomics to evaluate parasite changes linked with mammalian microenvironmental factors. Our in vitro phenotype and RNA-seq analyses revealedkey microenvironmental relationships with distinct biological functions. M ost notable, preservation of sporozoite quiescence by exposure to insect-like factors coupled with strategic activation limits untimely activation of invasion-associated genes to dramatically increase hepatocyte invasion rates. We also report the first transcriptomic analysis of the P. vivax sporozoite interaction in salivary glands identifying 118 infection-related differentially-regulated Anopheles dirus genes. These results provide important new insights in malaria parasite biology and identify priority targets for antimalarial therapeutic interventions to block P. vivax infection.

Project description:Plasmodium vivax causes 25-40% of malaria cases worldwide, yet research on this human malaria parasite has been neglected. Nevertheless, the recent publication of the P. vivax reference genome now allows genomics and systems biology approaches to be applied to this pathogen. We show here that whole genome analysis of the parasite can be achieved directly from ex vivo-isolated parasites, without the need for in vitro propagation. A single isolate of P. vivax obtained from a febrile patient with clinical malaria from Peru was subjected to whole genome sequencing (30X coverage). This analysis revealed over 18,261 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 6,257 of which were further validated using a tiling microarray. Within core chromosomal genes we find that one SNP per every 985 bases of coding sequence distinguishes this recent Peruvian isolate, designated IQ07, from the reference Sal1 strain obtained in 1970. This full-genome sequence of a P. vivax isolate, the second overall and first of an uncultured patient isolate, shows that the same regions with low numbers of aligned sequencing reads are also highly variable by genomic microarray analysis. Finally, we show that the genes containing the largest ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous SNPs encode two AP2 transcription factors and the P. vivax multidrug resistance-associated protein (PvMRP1), an ABC transporter shown to be associated with quinoline and antifolate tolerance in P. falciparum. This analysis provides a new data set for comparative analysis with important potential for identifying markers for global parasite diversity and drug resistance mapping studies.

Project description:This project contains RNA-sequencing reads of Plasmodium vivax derived directly from clinical patients. Here, we aim to characterize the gene expression patterns in patients with various parasite compositions. Patients (n=10) were recruited from two malaria endemic areas in Thailand. Ten RNA samples were treated with DNase, followed by Epicentre Globin-Zero Gold kit to deplete rRNA and globin transcript. The RNA-seq libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq4000 platform to generate approximately 60 million paired-end reads of 150 bp for each sample.

Project description:The apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium vivax reportedly caused 13.8 million cases of vivax malaria in 2015. Much of the unique biology of this pathogen remains unknown. To expand our proteomics interrogation of the blood-stage interaction with its host animal model Saimiri boliviensis, we analyzed the proteome of infected host reticulocytes undergoing transition from the trophozoite to schizont stages. Two biological replicates analyzed using five database search engines identified 1923 P. vivax and 3188 S. boliviensis proteins. This project is part of the Malaria Host-Pathogen Interaction Center (MaHPIC) - a transdisciplinary malaria systems biology research program supported by an NIH/NIAID contract (# HHSN272201200031C; see http://www.systemsbiology.emory.edu). The MaHPIC generates many data types (e.g., clinical, parasitological, metabolomics, functional genomics, lipidomics, proteomics, immune response) and mathematical models, to iteratively test and develop hypotheses related to the complex host-parasite dynamics in the course of malaria in non-human primates, and metabolomics data via collaborations with investigators conducting clinical studies in malaria endemic countries, with the overarching goal of better understanding human disease, pathogenesis, and immunity. Within the MaHPIC, this project is known as 'Integral Supporting Project 05 (S05)'. Curation and maintenance of all data and metadata are the responsibility of the MaHPIC. This dataset was produced by Dave Anderson at SRI International.
