Proteomic characterization of Babesia divergens extracellular vesicles

ABSTRACT: Protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia are considered a serious threat to humans and animals worldwide. Babesia parasites are naturally transmitted by ticks and infect the erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) of many vertebrates causing babesiosis. Infectious species include B. divergens, which causes asymptomatic to fatal babesiosis in humans and red water fever in cattle in Europe. To better understand the biology of B. divergens and to develop diagnostic and control strategies for babesiosis, we studied the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released into the environment by B. divergens-infected red blood cells (iRBCs). B. divergens parasites were cultured in human erythrocytes in vitro in a complete medium containing low human vesicle (LHV) serum. Uninfected erythrocytes (uRBC) were also maintained in the LHV complete medium. Bd-derived EVs and uRBC-derived EVs were collected and purified from the supernatants of B. divergens and uRBC cultures, respectively. Proteins were extracted from Bd-derived EVs and uRBC-derived EVs.

Differential transcriptional expression by Babesia bovis during parasite development within bovine erythrocytes and tick hemolymph

Project description:Babesia parasites transition between a mammalian host, where they cause babesiosis, and the tick vector that transmits them. This transition provides an environmental signal resulting in altered gene expression allowing the completion of the parasite’s life cycle. A comparison of the different life stages that occur within mammalian and tick hosts can provide insight into the adaptation of Babesia to these different environments. In this study, we used RNA-Seq to compare gene expression between Babesia bovis blood stages and tick derived kinetes.

Morphological and molecular descriptors of the developmental cycle of Babesia divergens parasites in human erythrocytes

Project description:Human babesiosis, especially caused by the cattle derived Babesia divergens parasite, is on the increase, resulting in renewed attentiveness to this potentially life threatening emerging zoonotic disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology and intra-erythrocytic development of these parasites are poorly understood. This impedes concerted efforts aimed at the discovery of novel anti-babesiacidal agents. By applying sensitive cell biological and molecular functional genomics tools, we describe the intra-erythrocytic development cycle of B. divergens parasites from immature, mono-nucleated ring forms to bi-nucleated paired piriforms and ultimately multi-nucleated tetrads that characterizes zoonotic Babesia spp. This is further correlated for the first time to nuclear content increases during intra-erythrocytic development progression, providing insight into the part of the life cycle that occurs during human infection. High-content temporal evaluation elucidated the contribution of the different stages to life cycle progression. Moreover, molecular descriptors indicate that B. divergens parasites employ physiological adaptation to in vitro cultivation. Additionally, differential expression is observed as the parasite equilibrates its developmental stages during its life cycle. Together, this information provides the first temporal evaluation of the functional transcriptome of B. divergens parasites; information that could be useful in identifying biological processes essential to parasite survival for future anti-babesiacidal discoveries. Two-condition experiment, Untreated vs.Treated B. divergens parasites, cultured in human erythrocytes. Treatment with a piperidinyl-benzimidizalone analogue. Biological replicates: 3 untreated (control) replicates, 3 treated replicates. The 6-sample dataset represents untreated(control) vs pooled_reference samples at various timepoints.

Characterization and proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles recovered from serum of healthy and dogs naturally infected by Babesia canis

Project description:Canine babesiosis, a tick-borne disease, is characterized by protozoan parasites invading red blood cells. It is rapidly expanding in many European countries. Examining extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their protein cargo has the potential to offer crucial insights into the response to Babesia canis infection, presenting opportunities for advancements in veterinary diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In the present study, we have a) isolated small EVs (< 200 nm) from the serum of 15 healthy dogs and 15 dogs naturally infected with B. canis using size-exclusion chromatography (fraction 2 and 3 per each sample), (2) characterized isolated EVs by nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy and Western blot (3) analysed the protein cargo of isolated EVs by mass spectrometry. We hypothesized that there will be a difference in EV characteristics (size, concentration, EV marker proteins) and profiles of luminal proteins between the two experimental groups. Our aim was to characterize proteins that can offer valuable insights into B. canis infection in dogs, thereby unravelling the complex mechanisms of B. canis infection.

Hemolysis in the spleen facilitates erythrocyte turnover

Project description:Red pulp macrophages of the spleen mediate daily turnover of billions of senescent erythrocytes. However, the exact molecules and mechanisms involved in sequestration of senescent erythrocytes, their recognition and ultimately their turnover remain unclear and are currently subject to debate. In this study we provide evidence that the splenic environment is of substantial importance in facilitating erythrocyte turnover through induction of haemolysis. Detailed characterization of human spleen and its red pulp macrophages lead to the identification of a population of erythrocytes devoid of haemoglobin without fully disintegrating, so-called erythrocyte ghosts. By in-vivo imaging and transfusion experiments we established that senescent erythrocytes are subject to haemolysis specifically within the spleen. We show that aged erythrocytes are captured by the extracellular matrix within the red pulp of the spleen and that their retention under low shear conditions is key in driving haemolysis. In contrast to senescent erythrocytes, the erythrocyte ghost shells were found to be prone to recognition and breakdown by red pulp macrophages. As such, these data put forward haemolysis as an efficient mechanism for the turnover of senescent erythrocytes which alters our current understanding on how erythrocyte turnover is regulated.

Phosphorylated protein data of proteomics of spleen infected by Babesia microti

Project description:Babesia is a kind of protozoa parasitic in the red blood cells of some vertebrates. Some species of Babesia can cause human and animal co-infection and do great harm. As the largest immune organ in mammals, spleen plays an important role in resisting Babesia infection. Although the spleen infected by Babesia is seriously damaged, it still initiates the immunomodulatory response actively. In order to further explore the molecular mechanism of immune regulation and self-repair of spleen in response to infection, DIA quantitative proteomics was used to analyze the changes of total protein expression and phosphorylation modification in spleen tissue of mice infected with Babesia microti, so as to explore the self-regulation mechanism of spleen in the process of injury and repair. It provides an important basis for the diagnosis and treatment of babesiosis.
