Transcriptome profile in INT cells following Cryptosporidium parvum infection

ABSTRACT: Cryptosporidium parvum is an important opportunistic parasite pathogen for immunocompromised individuals and a common cause of diarrhea in young children in developing countries. Certain parasite molecules can be delivered into host epithelial cells and may act as effector molecules for parasite intracellular development. This study aims to measure the impact of transfection of a parasite low-protein coding potential RNA transcript, Cdg7_FLc_0990, on the transcriptome profile in intestinal epithelial cells. Human intestinal epithelial INT (FHs 74 Int) cells were grown to 80% confluence and transfected with the Cdg7_FLc_0990 full-length or the empty vector for 48h. Total RNA was collected for the genome-wide analysis. RNA from INT cells following C. parvum infection for 48h and from cell of the non-infected control was also collected for the analysis. The Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression Microarray (G4851B) was used for the genome-wide analysis, which provides full coverage of genes and transcripts with the most up-to-date content, including mRNAs and lincRNAs (http://www.chem.agilent.com/store/en_US/Prod-G4851B/G4851B)

Project description:Purpose: Transcriptome profiling of Crytosporidium parvum infected lung and small intestinal organoids was performed to access the response of epithelial cells upon parasitic infection and to do a temporal analysis of the transcriptome of the parasite inside the organoid lumen. We isolated RNA from infected human lung and small intestinal organoids at 24 and 72 hour post infection. Methods: Organoids were grown in expansion or differentiation media and microinjected with equal amounts of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Media-injected organoids were used as a control .Expanding SI organoids were microinjected at 5-6 days after seeding, differentiated SI organoids were injected at 5 days after inducing differentiation. Lung organoids were incubated for 2 weeks after seeding for microinjection. RNA was extracted from 1-2 matrigel drops containing organoids. RNA was converted to cDNA and libraries were prepared using the CelSeq2 method and sequenced. Samples were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq500 by using 75-bp paired-end sequencing. Methods: Paired-end reads from Illumina sequencing were aligned to the human transcriptome genome and C. parvum transcriptome genome (Iowa strain) by BWA. DeSeq (v1.18.0) was used for read normalization and differential expression analysis (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed using gene lists for type I interferon response and regulation against normalized RNA-seq reads of injected SI and lung organoids using GSEA software v3.0 beta2. Results: At 24 hr post-infection,GO (gene ontology)-term analysis revealed that a substantial number of genes related to ‘cytoskeleton’ and ‘cell mobility’ were up-regulated in lung organoids. This suggests that infection by the parasites and subsequent formation of the intracellular stages within 24 hrs might affects cytoskeleton structures of host cells. After 72 hrs, many genes associated with the type I interferon pathway increased dramatically in lung and intestinal organoids. Results: After 72 hrs, many genes associated with the type I interferon pathway increased dramatically in lung and intestinal organoids. Multiple C. parvum genes were differentially expressed with a large fold change between 24 and 72 hr post-injection.At 24 hr post-infection, most of the enriched genes represented ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA subunits in both intestinal organoids and lung organoids. By contrast, at 72 hr post-infection, multiple oocyst-wall protein genes were up-regulated, confirming that the parasites formed new oocysts within the organoids. Conclusions: RNA sequencing of injected organoids revealed host epithelial responses upon parasite infection in differentiated SI organoids as well as in lung organoids.Upregulation of genes associated with type I interferon immunity in both SI and lung organoids.
