Project description:Leishmania infantum (Kinetoplastida:Trypanosomatidae) is the etiological agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean basin. The motile promastigote stage infects the hematophagous sand fly vector host and amastigotes survives and multiplies within phagocytes of the mammalian host. Promastigotes are routinely cultured in liquid undefined media and are considered to mimic the environment within the sand fly gut. We have put this to the test by high-throughput gene expression profiling by shotgun DNA microarrays generated in our laboratory. This has been possible thanks to RNA amplification.
Project description:The DEAD/H RNA helicase LINF_220021200 (DEVH1) gene from Leishmania infantum (Kinetoplastida:Trypanosomatidae) was cloned in the pTEX expression plasmid vector for trypanosomatids. Leishmania infantunm promastigotes were transfected and a knock-in L. infantum promastigote cell line was selected with geneticin (G418). A pTEX control promastigote line was also generated. Then, three independent biological replicate cultures of each pTEX-DEVH1 and pTEX promastigote lines were performed in the presence of the selective agent. The parasites were harvested on day 7 (stationary phase). Total mRNA samples were obtained. Cyanine dye-labelled samples were obtained from the knock-in and the control line (Cy5 and Cy3, respectively) and they were hybridized with custom whole-genome L. infantum DNA microarrays. This platform is included in GEO (GPL6781) and has also been repeatedly used in different experiments from 2009. Hybridization analysis allowed for finding differentially expressed genes due to the effect of induced over-expression of the DEVH1-encoding gene in the knock-in promastigote line compared to the control line. Genes involved in parasite infectivity and survival such as the HASP/SHERP gene cluster and an amastin gene or redox homeostasis genes are significantly down-regulated in the pTEX-DEVH1 knock-in promastigote line, whereas genes related to growth are up-regulated. This is in agreement with previous experimental data supporting that L. infantum DEVH1 knock-in promastigotes are able to recover the growth rate when stress conditions are removed.

Project description:We acquired the largest bacterial proteomic resource, covering 303 species, 119 genera, and five phyla. The proteome coverage is, on average, over 50%. Additionally, we acquired further datasets for bacterial identification algorithm validation: i) 303 species at a 30-minute gradient (38 samples per day throughput), ii) 303 species at a 10-minute gradient (80 samples per day throughput), iii) reproducibility dataset, iv) genus-specific Pseudomonas spp. dataset (94 Pseudomonas spp. strains), v) genus-specific Bacillus spp. dataset (28 Bacillus cereus s.l. strains), vi) food routine dataset (60 dairy product isolates), and vii) clinical routine dataset (570 clinical isolates).
