Project description:Transcriptional profiling of adult males and females of the lymphatic dwelling filarial parasite Brugia malayi Keywords: Gender based transcripts, filaria Three biological replicates of male and female RNA used for hybridization to examine the gender-specifc transcripts
Project description:We report our microarray analysis of Brugia malayi microfilariae-derived miRNA comparing parasite-derived EVs and supernatants Microarray analysis was performed using isolated RNA from three biological replicates of Brugia malayi microfilariae with a focus on the parasite-derived EVs and supernatant
Project description:In this study, we analyzed transcriptomic profiles from ivermectin-treated and -untreated B. malayi adult females using Next Generation RNA Sequencing technology at different concentrations (100 nM, 300 nM and 1 µM) and time points (24, 48, 72 h, and 5 days). Our analysis revealed altered expression of multiple genes involved in meiosis, as well as oxidative phosphorylation which were significantly down-regulated as early as 24 hours post-exposure. RNA interference phenotypes of the orthologs of these down-regulated genes in C. elegans include “maternal sterile”, “embryonic lethal”, “larval arrest”, “larval lethal”, “reduced brood size” and “egg shape variable”. These changes reflect and provide insight into the mechanisms involved in ivermectin-induced reduction in microfilaria output and impaired fertility, embryogenesis, and larval development.
