Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed obligate intracellular parasite which can cause zoonotic toxoplasmosis with great harms. The average death time of mice that infected with Toxoplasma gondii RH strain tachyzoites recovered from the liquid nitrogen was shortened after multiple generations. It has been reported that the parasite is in a state of static virulence during cryopreservation and the virulence of the protozoan parasite can be enhanced after continuous passages in hosts under laboratory conditions. However, no research has been conducted to elucidate its biological mechanism. Herein, we sequenced the T. gondii transcriptome using RNA-Seq technology and performed de novo assembly to investigated the virulence factors expression changes by comparing gene expression profiles between incipiently recovered and completely resuscitated tachyzoites. Transcriptome analysis identified 1,951 differentially expressed transcripts in infected liver, of which 1,752 were significantly downregulated and 199 upregulated. We identified many differentially expressed proteins and genes, including serine/threonine kinase, calnexin, myosin and microtubule-associated protein which have previously been reported to be either involved in cell adhesion, parasite gliding or participate in cell invasion. The great majority of the virulence factors including microneme proteins, rhoptry proteins and dense granule proteins were upregulated in fully recovered tachyzoites. The enhanced virulence of recovered Toxoplasma gondii RH strain from the liquid nitrogen is associated with the up-regulated expression of MICs, ROPs and GRAs. Our data will facilitate future genomic research and in-depth annotation of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain genomes. This study provides a profile of the candidate genes that are suspected to be involved with virulence enhancement of recovered Toxoplasma gondii RH strain tachyzoites. Many further studies should be carried out to confirm the function of the candidate genes. Moreover, the preliminary identification of genes and pathways exhibiting differential expression in complete resuscitation stage may further our general understanding of virulence enhancement in this parasite.

Project description:Parasite gene expression differences have been reported previously between RH-ERP, RH-JSR and GT1. To independently confirm these gene expression differences, we examined the parasite gene expression profiles of RH-ERP, RH-JSR and GT1 through microarray. Three type I strains of Toxoplasma gondii were compared with one array each, and these were used to verify data from previous studies.

Project description:The normally virulent type-I RH parasite is rendered avirulent when lacking ROP5. The avirulent phenotype is a consequence of interaction with the host innate immune system. We sought to understand if ROP5 alters host gene expression in order to escape host defenses. We saw no gene expression differences between host cells infected with wt (RH?ku80) or RH?ku80?rop5 parasites. We have included uninfected HFF samples that were harvested in parallel with the infected samples. Host gene expression in response to infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Two independent samples per sample type. Three sample types: HFF infected with RH?ku80, HFF infected with RH?ku80?rop5, and uninfected HFF.

Project description:Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including N. caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages (e.g. tachyzoites at different times points) of T. gondii VEG strain. The aim is to make comparative transcriptional landscape maps of Neospora and Toxoplasma at different time points at different life cycle stages and compare levels of expression of orthologous genes in these two organisms.

Project description:The in vitro effect of infection with different strains of Toxoplasma gondii was tested 24 hours after infection of Human Foreskin Fibroblasts (HFF) The strains tested include RH, VEG, and transgenic strains of RH overexpressing ROP38 or ROP21 Total RNA of Toxoplasma gondii infected HFF cell was compared to uninfected cells
