Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) have alternative forms known as isomiRs, which differ from each other by a few nucleotides. Next generation sequencing platforms facilitate identification of these isomiRs and recent discoveries regarding their functional importance have increased our understandings of the regulatory complexities of the microRNAome. Observed changes in the miRNA profiles in mosquitoes infected with flaviviruses have implicated small RNAs in the interactions between viruses and their vectors. Here we analysed the isomiR profiles of both uninfected and infected blood fed Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with a major human pathogen, Dengue virus at two time points post-infection. We found noticeable changes to the isomiR expression profile in response to infection and aging. Data analysis revealed a distinct bias towards isomiR production in the mature miRNA as opposed to the star strand. Furthermore, we noticed that only in 40% of Ae. aegypti miRNAs, the most abundant reads for each particular miRNA match the exact sequence reported in the miRbase. The isomiR expression variations between an Ae. aegypti embryonic cell line (Aag2) and whole mosquitoes demonstrated a tissue-specific pattern of isomiR production. Our results illustrated a bias for certain types of isomiRs for each miRNA. The findings presented in this study also provide evidence that isomiR production is not a random phenomenon and may be important in DENV colonisation of its vector.

Project description:Rockefeller and Singapore strain Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes differ in the number of bacteria present in the midgut. Females from each strain were either maintained on 3% sucrose solution, fed a sterile blood meal, or fed a blood meal containing a cocktail of bacteria. Differential transcript abundance was compared between females from each strain/treatment combination and a common reference sample pool. The overall goal was to determine how gene expression in Rockefeller females differs from Singapore females in order to better understand why the gut microbiome differs between the strains.

Project description:As is the case in vertebrates, successful mosquito immune responses depend on a complex and carefully orchestrated network of processes in order to defend the host from a foreign invader and to simultaneously maintain a homeostatic environment. Although commonalities exist between immune response mechanisms across phyla, invertebrates (e.g., mosquitoes) lack anticipatory, adaptive immune responses. However, a number of immune response elements, both cellular and humoral, exist to combat infection. Organisms that successfully invade the mosquito body cavity (hemocoel) potentially are subjected to a variety of mosquito defenses including: melanotic encapsulation, the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) or reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates, or to engulfment by phagocytic cells. These arrays are used to temporally compare and contrast transcriptome profiles associated with these responses, as manifest in the cells (hemocytes) that circulate in the mosquito body cavity. Hemocytes have documented association with phagocytosis and melanization reactions in mosquitoes, and these responses, to a variety of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, have been characterized. Inoculated Escherichia coli elicit a strong phagocytic response, and Micrococcus luteus are rapidly melanized. For transcriptome profiling, inoculated moquitoes are compared to naïve (uninoculated) mosquitoes. Data obtained will begin to clarify the interactive role of hemocyte genes and gene products in orchestrating phagocytic, melanization, and AMP responses against invading bacteria.
