Project description:Upon activation, specific CD4+ T cells up-regulate the expression of CD11a and CD49d, surrogate markers of pathogen-specific CD4+ T cells. However, using T-cell receptor transgenic mice specific for a Plasmodium antigen, termed PbT-II, we found that activated CD4+ T cells develop not only to CD11ahiCD49dhi cells, but also to CD11ahiCD49dlo cells during acute Plasmodium infection. CD49dhi PbT-II cells, localized in the red pulp of spleens, expressed transcription factor T-bet and produced IFN-γ, indicating that they were type 1 helper T (Th1)-type cells. In contrast, CD49dlo PbT-II cells resided in the white pulp/marginal zones and were a heterogeneous population, with approximately half of them expressing CXCR5 and a third expressing Bcl-6, a master regulator of follicular helper T (Tfh) cells. In adoptive transfer experiments, both CD49dhi and CD49dlo PbT-II cells differentiated into CD49dhi Th1-type cells after stimulation with antigen-pulsed dendritic cells, while CD49dhi and CD49dlo phenotypes were generally maintained in mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi. These results suggest that CD49d is expressed on Th1-type Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T cells, which are localized in the red pulp of the spleen, and can be used as a marker of antigen-specific Th1 CD4+ T cells, rather than that of all pathogen-specific CD4+ T cells.

Project description:CD4+ T cells are critical for defense against the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria. To better understand CD4+ T cell effector mechanisms during malaria, we performed microarray analysis of CD4+ T cells from naïve and infected mice. Comparison of activated (CD44 hi CD62L lo) CD4+ T cells from infected mice to bulk CD4+ T cells from naïve mice revealed a subset of genes that were upregulated by infection with Plasmodium chabaudi. These results help generate a more complete picture of CD4+ T cell function in malaria.

Project description:Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including important human pathogens. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages of the mouse malaria parasite, P. chabaudi AS. The aim is to analyse cir gene expression during Plasmodium chabaudi infection and determine whether host genetic background can influence cir expression. This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/.

Project description:The multiple species of Plasmodium that infect humans are highly polymorphic and induce various infections ranging from asymptomatic state to severe life-threatening diseases such as cerebral malaria. However, how the differences between the parasites affect host immune responses during blood-stage infection remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the CD4+ T-cell immune responses in T-cell receptor-transgenic mice infected simultaneously with P. berghei ANKA (PbA) and P. chabaudi chabaudi AS (Pcc) using PbT-II cells, which recognize a common epitope of these parasites. In the acute phase of infection, CD4+ T-cell responses in PbA-infected mice showed a higher involvement of Th1 cells and a lower proportion of Ly6Clo effector CD4+ T cells than those in Pcc-infected mice. Transcriptome analysis of PbT-II cells indicated that type I interferon (IFN)-regulated genes were expressed at higher levels in both Th1- and Tfh-type PbT-II cells from PbA-infected mice than those from Pcc-infected mice. Moreover, IFN-α levels were considerably higher in PbA-infected mice than in Pcc-infected mice. Inhibition of type I IFN signaling increased PbT-II and Ly6Clo cell numbers and partially reversed the Th1 over Tfh bias of the PbT-II cells in both PbA- and Pcc-infected mice. However, in the memory phase, we did not find a significant difference in the phenotype of PbT-II cells between PbA- and Pcc-primed mice. These observations suggested that the differences in Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T-cell responses between PbA- and Pcc-infected mice were at least partially associated with the difference in type I cytokine production during the early phase of the infection.

Project description:The spleen is considered as the major lymphoid organ involved in generating immune responses to the erythrocytic stages of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, but access to human spleens is not practical and most studies rely on peripheral blood for assessing immune responses. However, the suitability of peripheral blood as a proxy for splenic immune responses is unknown. Here, we have analysed transcriptome activity for whole spleens over 12 days of erythrocytic stage Plasmodium chabaudi infection in C57BL/6 mice. These data will be compared with comparable data taken from whole blood: and previously published: GSE93631

Project description:Analysis of blood samples taken throughout the acute phase of infection from mice infected with avirulent P. chabaudi AS strain or virulent CB strain The influence of parasite genetic factors on immune responses and development of severe pathology of malaria is largely unknown. In this study, we performed genome-wide transcriptomic profiling of whole blood during blood-stage infections of two strains of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi that differ in virulence. We identified several transcriptomic signatures associated with the virulent infection, including signatures for lung inflammation, stronger and prolonged anemia and platelet aggregation. The latter two signatures were detected prior to pathology. The anemia signature indicated deregulation of host erythropoiesis, and the lung inflammation signature was linked to increased neutrophil infiltration, more cell death and greater parasite sequestration in the lungs. This comparative whole-blood transcriptomics profiling of virulent and avirulent malaria infections shows the validity of this approach to inform severity of malarial infection and provide insight into pathogenic mechanisms.

Project description:The role of the liver for survival of blood-stage malaria is only fragmentary understood. In the experimental blood-stage malaria Plasmodium chabaudi, protective vaccination induces self-healing and, thus, survival of otherwise lethal infections. This study investigates the response of the liver, in terms of mRNA and lincRNA expression, to vaccination-induced self-healing infections and lethal P. chabaudi malaria at early patency on day 4 p.i., when parasitized erythrocytes begin to appear in peripheral blood. Using gene expression microarrays, 23 genes were identified to be induced in the liver by >10-fold at p<0.01. More than one third were genes involved in erythropoiesis, as e.g. Kel, Rhag, Ahsp, Ermap, Slc4a1, Cldn13 Gata1, and Gfi1b. Another group of >10-fold expressed genes contain genes involved in natural cytotoxicity, as those encoding the killer cell lectin-like like receptors Klrb1a, Klrc3, Klrd1, Ncr1 and the granzyme B encoding Gzmb. In addition, there were identified a series of genes involved in the control of cell cycle and mitosis, as Ccnb1, Cdc25c, Ckap2l expressed by >10-fold only in vaccination-protected mice, and 22 genes being at least 100% higher expressed in vaccination-protected mice than the corresponding genes significantly expressed in non-vaccinated mice. Furthermore, distinct lincRNA species were changed by >3-fold in livers of vaccination-protected mice, whereas lethal malaria induced different lincRNAs. Our data suggest that protective vaccination accelerates extramedullary erythropoiesis, generation of liver-resident cytotoxic cells, and regeneration from malaria-induced injuries in the liver at early patency, which may be critical for final survival of otherwise lethal blood-stage malaria of P. chabaudi. Mice: Balb/c mice breeded under specified pathogen-free conditions were delivered from central animal facilities of the University of Düsseldorf. The experiments were performed only with female mice aged 10-12 weeks. They were housed in plastic cages, received a standard diet (Woehrlin, Bad Salzuflen, Germany) and water ad libitum. This study was carried out in strict accordance with the German law on animal protection. The keeping of mice as well as the experimental protocol of the study were officially approved by the State-controlled Committee on the Ethics of Animal Experiments of the State Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and were regularly controlled, without being previously announced, by the local authorities. All efforts were undertaken to minimize suffering of mice. P. chabaudi malaria infection: Blood-stage infections of P. chabaudi were kept in outbred mice under sterile conditions by weekly passages of infected blood. A non-clonal line of P. chabaudi is used in our laboratory since 1982, which resembles to P. chabaudi chabaudi. Challenge of Balb/c mice with 10^6 P. chabaudi-infected erythrocytes, Protective vaccination: As a vaccine, host cell plasma membranes were used, which were isolated in the form of ghosts from P. chabaudi-parasitized erythrocytes Approximately 10^6 ghosts were suspended in 100 µl Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) and subcutaneously injected on week 3 and week 1 before infecting with P. chabaudi-parasitized erythrocytes. Control mice were treated in parallel only FCA.
