Characterization of the small RNA content of Trypanosoma cruzi extracellular vesicles

ABSTRACT: A growing body of evidence in mammalian cells indicates that secreted vesicles can be used to mediate intercellular communication processes by transferring various bioactive molecules, including mRNAs and microRNAs. Based on these findings, we decided to analyze whether T. cruzi-derived extracellular vesicles contain RNA molecules and performed a deep sequencing and genome-wide analysis of a size-fractioned cDNA library (16–40 nt) from extracellular vesicles secreted by noninfective epimastigote and infective metacyclic trypomastigote forms. Our data show that the small RNAs contained in these extracellular vesicles originate from multiple sources, including tRNAs. In addition, our results reveal that the variety and expression of small RNAs are different between parasite stages, suggesting diverse functions. Taken together, these observations call attention to the potential regulatory functions that these RNAs might play once transferred between parasites and/or to mammalian host cells.

Small RNAs profiles (16-40 nt) of epimastigote-derived extracellular vesicles, metacyclic trypomastigote-derived extracellular vesicles and metacyclic trypomastigote parental cells.

Phosphoproteome and proteome of T. cruzi metacyclogenesis

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis is a natural process that occurs inside triatomine insect vector and corresponds to the differentiation of non-infective epimastigotes into infective metacyclic trypomastigotes. Here, centered on LC-MS/MS approach, a large scale phospho (proteome) study was carried out aiming to quantitatively understand the metacyclogenesis. Cells were colected along metacyclogenesis totalizing six points, stress 2 hours, adhered 12, 24 and 48 hours, and metacyclic trypomastigote from two biological replicates. After extraction, total protein were digested, fractioned and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The samples for phosphoproteomics were processed for phosphopeptide enrichment prior to the analysis.

Transcriptome analysis of the Trypanosoma cruzi life-cycle

Project description:To generate a high quality, annotated gene expression database of T. cruzi trypomastigotes(TRP), amastigotes (AMA), epimastigotes (EPI), and metacyclic trypomastigotes (MET). The global assessment of transcript abundances in each life-cycle stage of T. cruzi will identify stage-regulated genes and provide an essential element of an integrated database of T. cruzi genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic data. RNAs from 3 biological replicates from a single time point in each stage will be subjected to DNA microarrays containing probes for the complete, annotated T. cruzi genome, as it is currently known. The arrays for this project will be provided by the Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center (PFGRC) at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and will contain long oligonucleotides complementary to every annotated gene in the newly sequenced T. cruzi genome. The resulting data and analysis results will be deposited in TcruziDB (http://TcruziDB.org). Keywords: Gene expression comparisons between the four life-cycle stages of T. cruzi

RIP-Seq and RNA-Seq of an RNA-binding protein secreted by Listeria monocytogenes which activates RIG-I signaling

Project description:Secreted bacterial RNAs have recently emerged as a novel host-pathogen interaction mode. Naked RNA molecules are highly labile in the extracellular environment and must be protected by packaging into membrane vesicles or into complexes with RNA binding proteins. RNA secretion through membrane vesicles has been shown for several bacterial species but, surprisingly, proteins that bind and stabilize bacterial RNAs in the extracellular environment have not been reported yet. Here, we show that the bacterial pathogen L. monocytogenes secretes a small RNA binding protein that we named Zea. We show that Zea binds and stabilizes a subset of L. monocytogenes RNA, causing its accumulation in the extracellular medium. Zea modulates L. monocytogenes in vivo. Furthemore, Zea binds the mammalian non-self-RNA innate immunity sensor RIG-I and potentiates RIG-I-signaling during infection. This study provides a mechanism for the stability of extracellular RNA and unveils how secreted bacterial RNAs participate in the host-pathogen crosstalk.

Exosomes secreted by a nematode parasite transfer small RNAs to mammalian cells and regulate genes of the innate immune system [Litomosoides sigmodontis]

Project description:In mammalian systems, extracellular small RNAs can operate in a paracrine manner to communicate information between cells, relying on transport within vesicles. “Foreign” small RNAs derived from bacteria, plants and parasites have also been detected in mammalian body fluids, sparking interest in whether these could mediate inter-species communication. However, there is no mechanistic framework for RNA-mediated interspecies communication and the active movement of RNA via vesicles has not been shown outside of mammals. Here we demonstrate that specific microRNAs and Y RNAs are packaged into vesicles secreted by a gastrointestinal nematode, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which naturally infects mice. Total RNA was extracted from the serum of mice infected with Litomosoides sigmodontis at 60 days post infection
