Project description:The cestodes Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis, as the pathogens of cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis respectively, can cause significant health problems to the host and considerable socio-economic losses as a consequence. Based on the genomic data regarding these two species available in public database recently, we carried out high-throughput mRNA and small RNA transcriptomic sequencing of them and generate enormous transcriptomic datasets. A total of 34,717,856 reads (79.79%) mapped to E. granulosus genome, and 38,882,179 reads (87.61%) mapped to E. multiloculari genome. A total of 24,550 (7,925 known and 16,625 novel transcripts) and 23,771 transcripts (8,432 known and 15,339 novel transcripts) were assembled for E. granulosus and E. multilocularis respectively, and the assembly yielded 11,330 genes (6,815 known and 4,515 novel genes) for E. granulosus and 10,101 genes (7,051 known and 3,050 novel genes) for E. multilocularis, compared with the reference genome data. Bioinformatic analysis identified 6,826 AS events from 3,774 E. granulosus genes (33.31%) and 6,644 AS events in 3,611 E. multilocularis genes (35.75%). A total of 76,674 distinct microRNAs of E. granulosus and 115,742 of E. multilocularis were also obtained from small RNA transcriptome sequencing reads. Of these, there were 20 microRNAs of E. granulosus and 22 microRNAs of E. multilocularis that belonged to 19 and 21 microRNA families common to other metazoan lineages separately. 76 and 90 novel microRNAs so far unique to E. granulosus and E. multilocularis were also identified respectively. This study represents an extensive mRNA and small RNA transcriptome dataset obtained from the deep sequencing of these two cestode species. The findings will facilitate a more fundamental understanding of cestode biology, evolution, the host-parasite interplay, and provide new insights into the pathophysiology of echinococcosis, contributing to the development of improved interventions for disease control.

Project description:Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is a severe zoonotic disease in humans. One of the major metacestode antigens of E. multilocularis is the Em2 or Em2(G11) native purified antigen. The main objective of the current study was to identify and characterize the elusive protein backbone of the specific and immuno-dominant Em2(G11) antigen of E. multilocularis. Two biological replicates were used. Following samples are submitted: European isolate (J2012) - Replicate 1 (Sample F284313): 20200127_08_J2012_1F.raw European isolate (J2012) - Replicate 2 (Sample F284314): 20200127_09_J2012_2F.raw Central Asian isolate (AT17) - Replicate 1 (Sample F284307): 20200127_10_AT17_1F.raw Central Asian isolate (AT17) - Replicate 2 (Sample F284308): 20200127_11_AT17_2F.raw

Project description:Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers. Since prognosis ameliorates with early detection, it is a challenge to develop techniques that could replace or complement the current diagnosis protocols. The study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are present in urine samples has become an attractive alternative. The present study describes the mRNA content of vesicles isolated from voided urine samples within bladder cancer context. To discover a genetic signature of cancer, RNA associated to EVs was analyzed by microarray technique. Total RNA isolated from Extracellular Vesicles obtained from urine of bladder cancer patients was compared with RNA isolated from urinary vesicles of non-cancer patients.

Project description:The larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis, a lethal disease if untreated. To date, drug treatment options are limited, non-curative and need improvement. In this project we investigated the proteomic composition of in vitro generated metacestodes that are the disease-causing stage of the parasite. We analysed the composition of the vesicle tissue (VT), the vesicle fluid (VF), as well as the changes in the surrounding culture medium (CM). Further we compared the composition of VF ex vivo material from infected mice. As antigen B (AgB) subunits were the most prominent proteins in both VFs and CM, we followed up on these specific proteins and assessed the possibility of re-uptake of AgB into the metacestode, by targeted proteomics against HA-tagged AgB.Six proteomic analyses were performed:1_ VF and VT 2_ CM (in vitro samples)3_ VF ex vivo samples from infected mice4_ HA-AgB8 calibration (in vitro samples)5_ HA-AgB8/1 uptake (in vitro samples)6_ HA-AgB8/2 uptake (in vitro samples)

Project description:Alveolar (AE) and cystic (CE) echinococcosis are two parasitic diseases caused by the tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis and E. granulosus sensu lato (s. l.), respectively. Currently, AE and CE are mainly diagnosed by means of imaging techniques, supported by serology and clinical and epidemiological data. However, no viability markers that indicate parasite state during infection are available. Extracellular small RNAs (sRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that can be secreted by cells through association with extracellular vesicles, proteins, or lipoproteins. Circulating sRNAs can show altered expression in pathological states; hence, they are intensively studied as biomarkers of several diseases. Here, we profiled the sRNA transcriptomes in the context of AE and CE to identify novel biomarkers to aid in medical decisions. For this, endogenous and parasitic sRNAs were analysed by sRNA sequencing in sera from disease negative, positive, and treated patients and patients harbouring a non-parasitic lesion. Consequently, 20 differentially expressed sRNAs associated with AE, CE and/or non-parasitic liver lesion were identified. Our results represent an in-depth characterisation of the effect E. multilocularis and E. granulosus s.l. exert on the extracellular sRNA landscape in human infections and provide a set of novel candidate biomarkers for both AE and CE detection.

Project description:We report a comprehensive analysis of the hepatic miRNA transcriptome at one-month post-infection of experimental primary alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a parasitic infection a parasitic infection caused upon ingestion of E. multilocularis eggs. In infected mice, the expression levels of 28 miRNAs were significantly altered. Of these, 9 were up-regulated and 19 were down-regulated as compared to the non-infected controls. We also studied the issue related to functionally mature arm selection preference (5p and/or 3p) from the miRNA precursor and showed that 9 pre-miRNAs exhibited different arm selection preferences in normal versus infected liver tissues. In conclusion, this study provides first evidence that miRNAs are regulated early in primary murine AE. Thus, further research on the regulation of miRNAs during AE is needed, since miRNAs constitute an attractive potential option for development of novel therapeutic approaches against AE.

Project description:Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for about 2% of all cancers. Renal biopsy is the gold standard among the diagnostic tools, but it is invasive and not suitable for all patients. Therefore, new reliable and non-invasive biomarkers for ccRCC detection are required. Secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs), containing RNA molecules that can be transferred between cells, seems to be a general characteristic of malignant transformation. Consistently, cancer-derived EVs are enriched in the blood, urine and various malignant effusions of cancer patients. Therefore, urinary samples can be a non-invasive approach for discovering diagnostic biomarkers. Methods: We enrolled 33 clear-cell RCC (ccRCC) patients and 22 healthy subjects (HS), age and sex-matched, for urine collection and extracellular vesicles isolation by differential centrifugation. Transcriptional profiles of urinary EVs from 12 patients with ccRCC and 11 HS were generated using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 BeadChip oligonucleotide arrays. Microarray analysis led to the identification of RNA that were then validated using RT-qPCR. Results: We showed for the first time that urinary exosomal shuttle RNA (esRNA) was significantly different in ccRCC patients compared to HS and we identified three EVs esRNA involved in the tumor biology that are potentially suitable as non-invasive biomarkers. GSTA1, CEBPA and PCBD1 RNA levels decreased in urinary EVs of patients compared to HS. After 1 month post-operation, the levels of RNA increased to reach the normal level. Conclusions: This study suggests, for the first time, the potential use of the RNA content of urinary EVs to provide a non-invasive first step to diagnose the ccRCC. Total RNA obtained from urinary extracellular vesicles isolated from ccRCC patients and healthy subjects.
