Project description:During probing and feeding, an infected mosquito injects both virus and saliva into the host skin. The presence of mosquito saliva in the skin increases arbovirus pathogenesis in the bitten host, however the exact mechanism behind this remains to be determined. It is hypothesized that disease enhancement is dependent on the function of the dermal endothelium, where an increased permeability aids in the influx of virus-susceptible cells to the bite site and therefore more cells for the virus to replicate in. Here, we investigate and compare the effects of saliva from Culex and Aedes species on the human dermal endothelial cell function in vitro. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of Culex saliva on West Nile virus (WNV) pathogenesis in a mouse model. We found that salivary gland extract from anthropophilic mosquito species (Aedes and Cx. pipiens molestus) induce permeability of the human dermal endothelium, while an ornithophilic mosquito species (Cx. pip. pipiens) does not. We identified that this effect is due to the presence of protease(s) in Cx. pipiens molestus saliva. In addition, we show that the presence of Cx. saliva at the WNV inoculation site in vivo leads to more consistent weight loss, increased permeability in the inoculation site, and increased mortality compared to inoculation of WNV alone. Moving forward, identification and characterization of novel salivary proteins from similar but genetically distinct mosquito species will advance the development of intervention methods to combat potential transmission risks and disease severity of emerging mosquito-borne pathogens.

Project description:Culex pipiens pallens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus are important vectors of many diseases, such as West Nile fever and lymphatic filariasis. The widespread use of insecticides to control these disease vectors and other insect pests has led to insecticide resistance becoming common in these species. High throughput screening using SSH and specific microarray platforms was thought to have identified some resistance-related genes. However, limitations of these methods meant that only a few hundred of the many thousand genes could be screened. It wasn’t until the sequencing of the Cx. quinquefasciatus genome in 2010 that it became possible to screen all 18.9 thousand genes in the mosquito genome for anti-insecticidal activity. We used high throughout Illumina sequencing to identify hundreds of Cx. p. pallens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus genes that were differentially expressed in response to pesticide exposure. The identification of these genes is a vital first step for more detailed investigation of the molecular mechanisms involved in insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. In this study, larvae of Cx. pipiens pallens and Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus were collected from field and transported to the laboratory and reared to adulthood to get F1 generation. Then, half of the F1 generation was conducted to pesticide bioassay. RNA extraction and Illumina sequencing were undertaken in another half of the F1 generation. Therefore, Samples used in Illumina sequencing did not contact any insecticides. Twelve Cx. pipiens pallens and Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus lavae were undertaken Illumina RNA sequencing.

Project description:Culex pipiens molestus and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus are the members of Culex pipiens Complex, but they display relatively large differences in behavior and physiological responses. We compared the genes of these mosquitoes to identify those that were differentially expressed in each subspecies. Such genes could play important roles in subspecies-specific blood feeding or oviposition behavior. Culex pipiens molestus and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus females were undertaken Illumina RNA sequencing.

Project description:The vector for West Nile Virus
| PRJNA18751 | ENA
Project description:In recent years, arboviral infections have surged dramatically due to the geographic expansion of Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, their main vector mosquitoes. Despite significant efforts to uncover arbovirus–host interactions and viral protein effector functions in mammals, systematic studies aiming to characterize virus–vector interactions in arthropods are largely missing, and the functions and cellular targets of many arboviral proteins in mosquitoes remain elusive. Here, we applied a multi-omic approach to systematically evaluate the ability of arboviral capsids to interact with the Ae. aegypti proteome. This extensive multi-modal atlas across 12 pathogenic arboviral species spanning three viral genera revealed shared and distinct host factor specificities, uncovering species-, genus- and vector preference-specific patterns of host usage in mosquitoes. Functional phenotypic screening of 110 newly discovered host proteins across three prototypic arboviruses (La Crosse virus, dengue virus and West Nile virus) identified several novel host dependency factors, including a new role for the chromatin-remodeling Brahma complex in orthoflavivirus replication. Using a combination of biochemical and sequencing approaches, we characterized the cellular determinants of these interactions and profiled their functional consequences on the chromatin landscape. Altogether, this study provides a multi-layered repository to categorize and characterize arboviral capsid effector functions in invertebrates, providing important cues on novel mechanisms of transcriptional regulation via capsid-mediated modulation of chromatin accessibility in insects.
