Project description:This laboratory is focusing on to clarify the biologic relevance of a virulence factor known as trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of the Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). We are working with an enzyme able to directly transfer sialyl residues among macromolecules known as the trans-sialidase. It constitutes a virulence factor from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of the Chagas' Disease the American trypanosomiasis. We described the ability of this virulence factor to induce thymocyte apoptosis in vivo that happens after silayl residue mobilization. The apoptosis is mediated by the thymic epithelial cells in the nurse cell complex. By employing the microarray approach we wish to analyze the gene expression induced in the thymus after TS treatment. Examination of differential expression in thymocytes between male and female mice of genes related to glycosylation. RNA samples (in triplicate) purified from thymocytes were analyzed by Glyco-gene Chip analysis.

Project description:This laboratory is focusing on to clarify the biologic relevance of a virulence factor known as trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of the Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). The impact of hormones in the thymus is observed by gene expression profiling. Differences in the responses of the thymic epithelial cells to androgens is observed using the GLYCOv2 chips, comparing samples treated vs untreated with testosterone. At present we have analyzed by the glyco chips the differential expression of genes among sexes in thymocytes taken from female vs male mice. To have a full picture of the differences in gene expression in the thymus, thymic epithelial cells have to be analyzed. At present we have pinpointed the primary culture of these cells and their in vitro stimulation with androgens. Thus we analyzed the differential expression among testosterone treated and untreated cells.

Project description:Chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of heart failure in Latin American countries. About 30% of Trypanosoma cruzi-infected individuals develop this severe symptomatic form of the disease, characterized by intense inflammatory response accompanied by fibrosis deposition in the heart. We performed a microarray analysis of a mouse model of this disease and identified >5% alterations of gene expression in the heart. Most of the upregulations were associated with immune-inflammatory responses (chemokines, adhesion molecules, cathepsins and MHC molecules) and fibrosis deposition (extracellular matrix components, lysyl oxidase and Timp1). Our results indicate potentially relevant factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease that may provide new therapeutic targets in chronic Chagas’ disease.

Project description:Chagas’ disease, one of the major public health concerns in Latin America, is caused by the haemophlagelated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). In the past few years congenital transmission of T. cruzi has become more important, and partly responsible for the “globalization of Chagas’ disease”. The congenital transmission, although with low rates, represents the main route of transmission in non-endemic countries and endemic countries without vectorial transmission, and represents one third of the new cases each year. Diverse pathogens, including T. cruzi, are able to cross the placental barrier and infect both the placenta and fetus. However, the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction between T. cruzi and the placenta has been scarcely studied. The use of microarray analysis to determine expression profiles constitutes a powerful tool in order to identify genes and pathways related to the host response to infections. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomic response of human placental chorionic villi explants (HPCVE) challenged with T. cruzi trypomastigotes at low (105) and high (106) concentrations for 2 and 24 hours

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that causes human Chagas’ disease, a leading cause of heart failure in Latin America. Using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays we screened phenotypically diverse human cells (foreskin fibroblasts, microvascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells) for a common transcriptional response signature to T. cruzi. A common feature was a prominent type I interferon response, indicative of a secondary response to secreted cytokines. Using transwell plates to distinguish cytokine-dependent and -independent gene expression profiles in T. cruzi-infected cells, a core cytokine-independent response was identified in fibroblasts and endothelial cells that featured metabolic and signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, amino acid catabolism and response to wounding. Significant downregulation of genes involved in mitotic cell cycle and cell division predicted that T. cruzi infection impedes cell cycle progression in the host cell.

Project description:As Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, multiplies in the cytoplasm of nucleated host cells, infection with this parasite is highly likely to affect host cells. We performed an exhaustive transcriptome analysis of T. cruzi-infected HeLa cells using an oligonucleotide microarray containing probes for greater than 47,000 human gene transcripts. In comparison with uninfected cells, those infected with T. cruzi showed greater than threefold up-regulation of 41 genes and greater than threefold down-regulation of 23 genes. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of selected, differentially expressed genes confirmed the microarray data. Many of these up- and down-regulated genes were related to cellular proliferation, including seven up-regulated genes encoding proliferation inhibitors and three down-regulated genes encoding proliferation promoters, strongly suggesting that T. cruzi infection inhibits host cell proliferation, which may allow more time for T. cruzi to replicate and produce its intracellular nests. These findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular T. cruzi infection influences the host cell, leading to pathogenicity. Keywords: infection response
