Project description:Ostertagia ostertagi is considered one of the most economically important bovine parasites. As an alternative for anthelmintic treatment, an experimental host-protective vaccine was previously developed based on ASP-proteins derived from the adult worms. Intramuscular injection of this vaccine, combined with QuilA as adjuvant, significantly reduced the faecal egg counts by 59 %. However, the immunological mechanisms triggered by the vaccine are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, the differences in immune responses at the site of infection, i.e. the abomasal mucosa, between ASP/QuilA-vaccinated animals and QuilA-vaccinated control animals were investigated on a transcriptomic level, using a whole genome bovine micro-array, combined with histological analysis. Sixty nine genes were significantly impacted in animals protected by the vaccine, 48 of which were upregulated. A correlation study between the parasitological parameters and gene transcription levels showed that the transcription levels of two of the upregulated genes, granulysin (GNLY) and granzyme B (GZMB) negatively correlated to cumulative faecal egg counts and total worm counts, respectively. Both genes also positively correlated to each other, and to another upregulated gene, the IgE receptor subunit FCER1A. Surprisingly, these three genes also correlated significantly to CMA1, a mast cell marker, and to cell counts for mast cells and cells previously described as globule leukocytes. Furthermore, immunohistochemical data showed that GNLY was present in the granules of globule leukocytes and that it was secreted in the mucus. Overall, the results suggest a potential role of granule exocytosis by globule leucocytes, potentially IgE-mediated, in the vaccine induced protection against O. ostertagi

Project description:Parasitic nematodes of humans, animals and plants cause significant economic losses worldwide. Control of these pathogens is currently challenging due to the widespread problem of nematode anthelmintic resistance. Unfortunately, most efforts to develop anti-nematode vaccines for use in animals and humans have not succeeded. However, one effective (dead) anti-nematode vaccine (Barbervax) has been developed to protect livestock animals against the socioeconomically important parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus (barber’s pole worm). This vaccine contains a major native antigen, termed H11. In its native form, H11 alone consistently induces high immunoprotection (75-95%) in animals, but recombinant forms thereof do not. Here, to test the hypothesis that post-translation modification of H11 is responsible for achieving the immunoprotection. We explored the N-glycoproteome and N-glycome of H11 using high-resolution mass spectrometry and assessed the roles of N-glycosylation in protective immunity against H. contortus. We demonstrated that N-glycans are a predominant protective component that induces protection and an associated IgG antibody response in immunised animals. We also showed that anti-H11 IgG antibodies confer specific, passive immunity in naïve animals. This study is the first detailed investigation of the relevance of protein glycosylation in protective immunity against a parasitic nematode, and should have important implications for developing vaccines against metazoan parasites.

Project description:Ostertagia ostertagi is considered one of the most economically important bovine parasites. As an alternative for anthelmintic treatment, an experimental host-protective was previously developed based on ASP-proteins derived from the adult worms. Intramuscular injection of this vaccine, combined with QuilA as adjuvant, significantly reduces the faecal egg counts by 60-85%. However, the immunological mechanisms triggered by the vaccine are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, the differences in immune responses at the site of infection, i.e., the abomasal mucosa, between ASP/QuilA-vaccinated animals and QuilA-vaccinated control animals were investigated on a transcriptomic level, using a whole genome bovine microarray, combined with histological analysis. Sixty-nine genes were signicantly impacted in animals protected by the vaccine, 48 of which were upregulated. A correlation study between the parasitological parameters and gene transcription levels showed that the transcription levels of two of the upregulated genes, granulysin (GNLY) and granzyme B (GZMB), negatively correlated to cumulative faecal egg counts and total worm counts, respectively. Both genes also positively correlated to each other, and to another upregulated gene, the IgE receptor subunit FCER1A. Surprisingly, these 3 genes also correlated significantly to CMA1, a mast cell marker, and to cell counts for mast cells and cells previously described as globule leukocytes. Furthermore, immunohistochemical data showed that GNLY was present in the granules of globule leukocytes and that it was secreted in the mucus. Overall, the results suggest a potential role of granule exocytosis by globule leucocytes, potentially IgE-mediated, in the vaccine induced protection against O. ostertagi. 12 helminth‐free Holstein crossbred calves at 7‐10 months of age were randomly divided in 2 groups of 6 animals. All animals were immunized three times intramuscularly in the neck with a three‐week interval. One group received 750 μg of QuilA with Tris‐buffer instead of antigen (negative control). The other group received ~30 μg of the native ASP fraction per immunization in combination with 750 μg of QuilA adjuvant. After the final immunization, the animals were challenged with a trickle infection of 30,000 infective L3 larvae (1,000 L3/day for 30 days, 5 days a week during a period of 6 weeks). 3 weeks after the last challenge infection, all animals were sacrified and total RNA from fundic abomasa was extracted. A total of 12 microarrays were used. Only biological replicates were used.

Project description:Cooperia oncophora is an economically important gastrointestinal nematode in ruminants. Acquired resistance to Cooperia oncophora infection in cattle develops rapidly as a result of prior infections. Naïve cattle, when given a primary infection of high-dose infective L3 larvae, develop a strong immunity to subsequent reinfection. Compared to primary infection, reinfection resulted in a marked reduction in worm establishment. In order to understand molecular mechanisms underlying the development of acquired resistance, we characterized the transcriptomic responses of the bovine small intestine to a primary infection and reinfection. A total of 23 pathways were significantly impacted during infection. The vitamin D receptor activation was strongly induced only during reinfection, suggesting that this pathway may play an important role in the development of acquired resistance via its potential roles in immune regulation and intestinal mucosal integrity maintenance. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) was strongly induced during reinfection but now during primary infection. As a result, several canonical pathways associated with NOS2 were impacted. The genes involved in eicosanoid synthesis, including prostaglandin synthase 2 (PTGS2 or COX2), remained largely unchanged during infection. The rapid development of acquired resistance may help explain the lack of relative pathogenicity by Cooperia oncophora infection in cattle. Our findings will undoubtedly facilitate understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the development of acquired resistance, which could have an important implication in vaccine design. The transcriptomic profiles of the bovine small intestine in response to both a primary infection and a drug-attenuated reinfection were compared. The data were analyzed using the same condition and procedure. The gene expression profiles of calves 14 days after a primary Cooperia oncophora infection and a drug-attenuated reinfection were compared to their respective age-matched controls (naive controls and drug-drenched worm-free controls)

Project description:Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV), a negative-stranded RNA virus, is the etiological agent of the vector-borne zoonotic disease, Rift Valley Fever (RVF). In both humans and livestock, protective immunity can be achieved through vaccination. Earlier and more recent vaccine trials in cattle and sheep demonstrated a strong neutralizing antibody and total IgG response induced by the RVFV vaccine, MP-12. From previous work, protective immunity in sheep and cattle vaccinates normally occurs from 7 to 21 days after inoculation with MP-12. While the serology and protective response induced by MP-12 has been studied, little attention has been paid to the underlying molecular and genetic events occurring prior to the serologic immune response. To address this, we isolated RNA from whole blood from vaccinates over a time course of 21 days before and after inoculation during a recent vaccine trial with MP-12. This RNA time course was deeply sequenced by RNASeq and bioinformatically analyzed. Our results revealed time-dependent activation or repression of numerous gene ontologies and pathways related to immune response and regulation. Additional analyses identified a correlative relationship between specific genes related to immune activity and protective immunity prior to serologic detection of antibody response. These data provide an important proof of concept for identifying molecular and genetic components underlying the immune response to vaccination and protection prior to serologic detection.

Project description:Comparative microarray analysis of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus expression profiles of larvae pre-attachment and feeding adult female stages on Bos indicus and B. taurus cattle Global analysis of gene expression changes in R. microplus during larval, pre-attachment and early adult stages of its life cycle feeding on Bos indicus and Bos taurus cattle were compared using gene expression microarray analysis. Among the 13 601 R. microplus transcripts from BmiGI Version 2 we identified 297 up and 17 down regulated transcripts were differentially expressed between R. microplus feeding on tick resistant cattle [Bos indicus (Brahman)] compared to R. microplus feeding on tick susceptible cattle [Bos taurus (Holstein-Friesian)]. These include genes encoding enzymes involved in primary metabolism, and genes related to stress, defence, cell wall modification, cellular signaling, receptor and cuticle. Microarrays were validated by qRT-PCR analysis of selected transcripts including the validation of three housekeeping genes. The analysis of all tick stages under survey suggested a coordinated regulation of defence proteins, proteases, and protease inhibitors to achieve successful attachment and survival of R. microplus on different host breeds particularly Bos indicus cattle.
