Project description:The impact of global climate change on the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases is the subject of extensive debate. The transmission of mosquito-borne viral diseases is particularly complex, with climatic variables directly affecting many parameters associated with the prevalence of disease vectors. While evidence shows that warmer temperatures often decrease the extrinsic incubation period of an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus), exposure to cooler temperatures often predisposes disease vector mosquitoes to higher infection rates. RNA interference pathways are essential to antiviral immunity in the mosquito; however, few experiments have explored the effects of temperature on the RNAi machinery. Total small RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, etc.) were isolated and sequenced from the heads of sensor strain Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, or from the whole bodies of CHIKV-infected Aedes albopictus mosquitoes 8 hours post infection. Mosquitoes were grown at 18C or 28C in replicates of 1 (Ae. aegypti) or 3 (Ae. albopictus).

Project description:We report a global survey of viral small RNAs (vsmRNAs) from >200 Aedes aegypti samples to identify many mosquito viruses that actively infect this prominent arboviral vector. Ae. aegypti viruses in the Americas were abundant, with some displaying geographical boundaries. Viruses infecting Asian Ae. aegypti were similar to those in the Americas and revealed the first wild example of dengue vsmRNAs. African Ae. aegypti displayed vsmRNAs from viruses unique to these African strains. Academic lab colonies generally lacked viruses, yet two commercial strains were deeply infected by a tombus-like virus that is related to plant viruses. Comparing matched viral long RNAs to vsmRNAs revealed viral transcripts evading the mosquito RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. By infecting mosquito cells with Ae. aegypti homogenates, we generated stably infected cell lines which produced vsmRNAs that were comparable to native mosquito vsmRNA patterns. Lastly, we demonstrate that these stably infected mosquito cells producing vsmRNAs can exert gene silencing of reporters bearing viral sequence segments, providing a potential explanation for how Ae. aegypti can tolerate the persistence of viral infections. This vsmRNA genomics approach in Ae. aegypti can add to existing vector surveillance approaches by discovering new viruses that persist in mosquito populations.

Project description:Under physiological conditions, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present simultaneously in the extracellular compartment together with cytokines. Thus, we hypothesized that EVs in combination with cytokines induce different responses of monocyte cells compared to EVs or cytokines alone. Human monocyte U937 cells were incubated with EV-containing or EV-free CCRF human T-cell supernatant, with or without the addition of TNF. U937 cells cultured in EV-free supernatant, supernatant containing CCRF t-cell derived EVs, TNF or both. Each treatment option was measured in 3 replicates.

Project description:Globally invasive Aedes aegypti mosquitoes disseminate numerous arboviruses that impact human health. One promising method to control Ae. aegypti populations is transinfection with the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, a symbiont that naturally infects ~40-52% of insects but is normally absent from Ae. aegypti. Transinfection of Ae. aegypti with the wMel Wolbachia strain induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), allowing infected individuals to rapidly invade native populations. Further, wMel Wolbachia-infected females display refractoriness to medically relevant arboviruses. Thus, wMel Wolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti are being released in several areas to replace native populations, thereby suppressing disease transmission by this species. Wolbachia is reported to have minimal effects on Ae. aegypti fertility, but its influence on other reproductive processes is unknown. Female insects undergo several post-mating physiological and behavioral changes required for optimal fertility. Post-mating responses (PMRs) in female insects are typically elicited by receipt of male seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) transferred with sperm during mating, but can be modified by other factors, such as adult age, nutritional status, and microbiome composition. To assess how Wolbachia infection influences Ae. aegypti female PMRs, we collected wMel Wolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti from the field in Medellín, Colombia and introduced the bacterium into our laboratory strain. We found that Wolbachia influences female fecundity, fertility, and re-mating incidence. Further, we observed that Wolbachia significantly extends longevity of virgin females. Changes in female PMRs are not due to defects in sperm transfer by infected males, or sperm storage by infected females. Using proteomic methods to examine the seminal proteome of infected males, we found that Wolbachia infection has a moderate effect on SFP composition. However, we identified 125 Wolbachia proteins that are paternally transferred to females by infected males. Surprisingly, the CI factor proteins (Cifs), were not detected in the ejaculates of Wolbachia-infected males. Our findings indicate that Wolbachia infection of Ae. aegypti alters female post-mating responses, potentially influencing control programs that utilize Wolbachia-infected individuals.

Project description:With the goal to identify miRNAs and other small RNAs involved in EV-mediated oligodendrocyte-neuron communication, we performed deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of small RNAs derived from EVs isolated from culture supernatants of primary mouse oligodendrocytes by differential centrifugation. Oligodendrocytes were cultured and EVs harvested under serum-free conditions in presence of B27 supplement. We found that RNA isolated from EVs harvested from cells under serum-replacement conditions contains miRNA contaminants carried into the sample by defined media components.
