Project description:Plasmodium vivax causes 25-40% of malaria cases worldwide, yet research on this human malaria parasite has been neglected. Nevertheless, the recent publication of the P. vivax reference genome now allows genomics and systems biology approaches to be applied to this pathogen. We show here that whole genome analysis of the parasite can be achieved directly from ex vivo-isolated parasites, without the need for in vitro propagation. A single isolate of P. vivax obtained from a febrile patient with clinical malaria from Peru was subjected to whole genome sequencing (30X coverage). This analysis revealed over 18,261 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 6,257 of which were further validated using a tiling microarray. Within core chromosomal genes we find that one SNP per every 985 bases of coding sequence distinguishes this recent Peruvian isolate, designated IQ07, from the reference Sal1 strain obtained in 1970. This full-genome sequence of a P. vivax isolate, the second overall and first of an uncultured patient isolate, shows that the same regions with low numbers of aligned sequencing reads are also highly variable by genomic microarray analysis. Finally, we show that the genes containing the largest ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous SNPs encode two AP2 transcription factors and the P. vivax multidrug resistance-associated protein (PvMRP1), an ABC transporter shown to be associated with quinoline and antifolate tolerance in P. falciparum. This analysis provides a new data set for comparative analysis with important potential for identifying markers for global parasite diversity and drug resistance mapping studies.

Project description:Vir/pvpir genes, a multigene family in Plasmodium vivax that are a part of a larger superfamily of genes called the pir (Plasmodium interspersed repeat) genes have been reported earlier to be possibly involved in cytoadherence and evasion of splenic clearance. Plasmodium vivax, historically characterized as a "benign" malaria parasite, has been associated with clinical outcomes including hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, and cerebral malaria in India and several global regions. It constitutes an economic burden and presents a public health challenge alongside other Plasmodium species. Here, we present a part of global transcriptomic studies by custom designed microarray, that compare the transcriptome of the parasite responsible for severe Plasmodium vivax manifestations, specifically hepatic dysfunction and cerebral malaria from India, with an emphasis on the vir/pvpir genes, some of which are reported to play a role in cytoadherence. 23 patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria (Uncomplicated=6, Hepatic dysfunction=12 and Cerebral malaria=5) were subjected to microarray hybridization and the data so obtained showed a wide range of vir/pvpir subtelomeric subfamilies have been differentially expressed. Upregulation has been seen in 24 vir/pvpir genes in cerebral malaria samples (n=5) and 28 genes in hepatic dysfunction samples (n=12) belonging to different subfamily in at least 50% of the patient samples. Out of the upregulated vir/pvpir genes in cerebral malaria manifestation, members of vir subfamily E and pvpir H are maximum in number whereas in hepatic dysfunction manifestation, members of vir subfamily E and C comprise a significant proportion.
