RNA-seq of blood taken from patients suffering from sleeping sickness and infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Project description:Shotgun sequencing of sleeping sickness patient blood. WARNING: these results cannot be compared with those from trypanosome poly(A)+ mRNA, because the poly(A) selection introduces substantial bias, including loss of long mRNAs. Details will appear in the publication. These are additional sequencing runs that match some from E-MTAB-5293

Quantitative comparison of CSF proteins from T. b. gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense HAT patients

Project description:The host central nervous system (CNS) response to infection with Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.) gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense parasites, the causing agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), is a poorly explored area. The two parasites are responsible for respectively a chronic and an acute form of HAT. In both cases, however, the disease progresses from a haemolymphatic first stage (S1) to a meningo-encephalitic second stage (S2) due to the penetration of parasites into the CNS. In the present study, we investigated and compared the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from S2 patients affected by either T. b. gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense HAT, using a mass spectrometry quantitative proteomics approach. Gene ontology and pathway analyses on the 222 quantified proteins, revealed a predominant activation of the innate immune and the acute phase responses in rhodesiense HAT. These results were further confirmed through the verification of the over-expression of two proteins involved in these mechanisms, C-reactive protein (CRP) and orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), in 126 S2 HAT patients suffering from either the chronic or the acute form of HAT. Both proteins were significantly increased (p<0.0001) in the CSF of rhodesiense HAT patients. These findings contribute in better understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of late stage HAT caused by T. b. gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense and pave the way for further investigations on the clinical significance of CRP and ORM1.

Rat infection with Trypanosoma rhodesiense clinical isolates

Project description:Rats (four per isolate) were infected with Trypansooma rhodesiense taken from the CNS of two different patients from Lwala. Blood was taken at parasitaemias ranging from 3-20 E7. The results can be compared with those from human patient samples.

Proteomics analysis of biological fluids of sleeping sickness patients

Project description:Background: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also called sleeping sickness, is one of 20 in WHO’s list of ‘Neglected Tropical Diseases’, for which, less than 3,500 cases are reported each year. The disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Even though the clinical symptoms are well described, physiological aspects of the disease remain unclear. Diagnosis of the disease is difficult, requiring a lumbar puncture to determine the disease stage and guide treatment. Identifying new markers for disease stage has been a challenge for many years. Methods and Findings: In our study, a liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry tandem approach (LC-MS/MS) provides a new way to establish the proteomic profile of patients in stages 1 and 2 of the disease. The biological fluids (serum, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and saliva) of three uninfected controls, three patients with stage 1 disease, and four patients with stage 2 disease, are analyzed. In addition, quantification of samples from 14 controls, 23 patients with stage 1 disease and 43 patients with stage 2 disease by ELISA completes this analysis, and highlights two potential new markers, neuroserpin and moesin, with the latter present in urine — an easily accessed fluid. Conclusion: These result suggest that quantifying proteins present in biological fluids by LC-MS/MS) could provide new biomarkers for the diagnosis and stage discrimination of HAT.

Neutrophil metalloproteinase driven spleen architecture breakdown hampers plasma cell generation and infection control of trypanosomiasis.

Project description:Recent blood transcriptomic analysis of rhodesiense sleeping sickness patients has revealed that neutrophil signature genes and activation markers constitute the top indicators of trypanosomiasis-associated inflammation. Here, we used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the diversity of neutrophils in the spleen. We show that Trypanosoma brucei infection results in expansion and differentiation of four splenic neutrophil subpopulations, including Mki67+Birc5+Gfi1+Cebpe+ proliferation-competent precursors, two intermediate immature subpopulations and Cebpb+Spi1+Irf7+Mcl1+Csf3r+ inflammation reprogrammed mature neutrophils. Transcriptomic scRNA-seq profiling identified the largest immature subpopulation by Mmp8/9 positive tertiary granule markers.

Serum microRNA expression prior to motion sickness stimulus

Project description:Motion Sickness increases risk of performance deficits and safety of flight concerns. The etiology of motion sickness is poorly understood. Here, we attempted to quantify the physiological effects of motion sickness on static balance and determine the genetic predictors associated with these effects.
