Project description:The bryophyte was collected and dried. Aqueous extract was prepared and different concentration of the extracts were treat against Ascardia galli, chicken nematode and Trichostrongylus, sheep nematode. Control was maintained for both. The control and treated samples were further processed to study the gene expression by isolating and sequencing mRNA using Illumina next-gen sequencing.

Project description:Worldwide, more than 1 billion people are affected by infestations with soil-transmitted helminths and also in veterinary medicine helminthiases are a severe thread to livestock due to emerging resistances against the common anthelmintics. Proanthocyanidins have been increasingly investigated for their anthelmintic properties, however, except for an interaction with certain proteins of the nematodes, not much is known about their mode of action. To investigate the anthelmintic activity on a molecular level, a transcriptome analysis was performed in Caenorhabditis elegans after treatment with purified and fully characterized oligomeric procyanidins (OPC). The OPCs had previously been obtained from a hydro-ethanolic (1:1) extract from the leaves of Combretum mucronatum, a plant which is traditionally used in West Africa for the treatment of helminthiasis, therefore, also the crude extract was included in the study. Significant changes in differential gene expression were observed mainly for proteins related to the intestine, many of which were located extracellularly or within cellular membranes. Among the up-regulated genes, several hitherto undescribed orthologues of structural proteins in humans were identified, but also genes that are potentially involved in the worms’ defense against tannins. For example, T22D1.2, an orthologue of human basic salivary proline-rich protein (PRB) 2, and numr-1 (nuclear localized metal responsive) were found to be strongly up-regulated. Down-regulated genes were mainly associated with lysosomal activity, glycoside hydrolysis or the worms’ innate immune response. No major differences were found between the groups treated with purified OPCs versus the crude extract. Investigations using GFP reporter gene constructs of T22D1.2 and numr-1 corroborated the intestine as the predominant site of the anthelmintic activity.

Project description:Expulsion of parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes requires diverse effector mechanisms coordinated by a Th2-type response. The evolutionarily conserved JmjC protein ribosomal oxygenase 2 (Riox2, formerly Mina) has been shown to repress IL4, a key Th2 cytokine, suggesting Riox2 may negatively regulate parasite expulsion. Here we report that expulsion of parasitic nematodes was indeed accelerated in Riox2 deficient mice. Unexpectedly, this was associated not with an elevated Th2 but rather an impaired Th1-type response. Further, in vitro T cell differentiation, reciprocal bone marrow chimera and conditional KO experiments demonstrated that retarded parasite expulsion and a normal Th1-type response both required Riox2 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Gene profiling experiments in IECs revealed anti-microbial α-defensin peptides to be the major target of Riox2-dependent repression. In vitro exposure to recombinant α-defensin peptides caused cytotoxic damage to whipworms. These results identify a latent IEC-intrinsic anthelmintic pathway actively constrained by Riox2 and point to α-defensins as important effectors that together with Riox2 would be attractive therapeutic targets for the control of nematode infection.

Project description:Infections and diseases caused by parasitic nematodes have a major adverse impact on the health and productivity of animals and humans worldwide. The control of these parasites often relies heavily on the treatment with commercially available chemical compounds (anthelmintics). However, the excessive or uncontrolled use of these compounds in livestock animals has led to major challenges linked to drug resistance in nematodes. Therefore, there is a need to develop new anthelmintics with novel mechanism(s) of action. Recently, we identified a small molecule, KM08948, with nematocidal activity against the free-living model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we evaluated KM08948’s potential as an anthelmintic in a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study in C. elegans and in the highly pathogenic, blood-feeding Haemonchus contortus (barber’s pole worm), and explored the compound-target relationship using thermal proteome profiling (TPP). First, we synthesised and tested a series of 25 KM08948 analogues for nematocidal activity in both H. contortus (larvae and adults) and C. elegans (young adults), establishing a preliminary nematocidal pharmacophore for both species. We identified several compounds with marked activity against either H. contortus or C. elegans which had greater efficacy than KM08948, and found a significant divergence in compound bioactivity between these two nematode species. We also identified a KM08948 analogue, 25, that moderately inhibited the motility of adult female H. contortus in vitro. Subsequently, we inferred three H. contortus proteins (HCON_00134350, HCON_00021470 and HCON_00099760) and five C. elegans proteins (F30A10.9, F15B9.8, B0361.6, DNC-4 and UNC-11) that interacted directly with KM08948; however, no conserved protein target was shared between the two nematode species. Future work aims to extend the SAR investigation in these and other parasitic nematode species, and validate individual proteins identified here as targets of KM08948. Overall, the present study describes an evaluation of this anthelmintic candidate and highlights some challenges associated with early anthelmintic discovery.

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes are among the most important causes of production loss in farmed ruminants, and anthelmintic resistance is emerging globally. We hypothesized that wild deer could potentially act as reservoirs of anthelmintic-resistant GI nematodes between livestock farms. Adult abomasal nematodes and faecal samples were collected from fallow (n = 24), red (n = 14) and roe deer (n = 10) from venison farms and areas of extensive or intensive livestock farming. Principal components analysis of abomasal nematode species composition revealed differences between wild roe deer grazing in the areas of intensive livestock farming, and fallow and red deer in all environments. Alleles for benzimidazole (BZ) resistance were identified in β-tubulin of Haemonchus contortus of roe deer and phenotypic resistance confirmed in vitro by an egg hatch test (EC50 = 0.149 µg ml(-1) ± 0.13 µg ml(-1)) on H. contortus eggs from experimentally infected sheep. This BZ-resistant H. contortus isolate also infected a calf experimentally. We present the first account of in vitro BZ resistance in wild roe deer, but further experiments should firmly establish the presence of phenotypic BZ resistance in vivo. Comprehensive in-field studies should assess whether nematode cross-transmission between deer and livestock occurs and contributes, in any way, to the development of resistance on livestock farms.

Project description:BackgroundAnthelmintic resistance (AR) in gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) is increasing globally, and farmers are encouraged to adopt sustainable control measures. Haemonchus contortus is increasingly reported in the UK, potentially complicating effective GIN control.MethodsFaecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) were conducted on 13 farms in north Devon, England, UK in 2016. Relative abundance of H. contortus was quantified using peanut agglutinin staining and used to estimate faecal egg count reduction percentages (FECR%) using the eggCounts R package.ResultsOn average, farms had GIN resistance to three anthelmintic classes. No farms had susceptibility to all anthelmintics tested. AR was more prevalent in 2016 than on the same farms in 2013. H. contortus was present on 85% of the farms tested and comprised on average 6% (0%-52%) of GIN eggs before treatment. Resistance or suspected resistance to all anthelmintics tested was observed in this species on different farms.ConclusionThe results demonstrate diversity of AR profiles on farms, apparent progression of AR within a 3-year period, and challenges detecting AR in mixed-species infections. Where possible, interpretation of mixed-species FECRT should take into account the relative abundance of species pre- and post-treatment to identify pragmatic treatment options targeting individual genera.

Project description:This experiment compared gene expression in the duodenum of [1] weaned genetically resistant sheep and weaned genetically susceptible sheep (84 days old) [2] genetically resistant sheep and genetically susceptible sheep that have been naturally challenged once with nematodes (175 days old) and [3] genetically resistant sheep and genetically susceptible sheep that have been naturally challenged twice with nematodes (276 days old). At each time point (T = 84, 175, 276 days) a four factorial design was used with four resistant animals and four susceptible animals. Each animal in the resistant group was compared to each animal in the susceptible group incorporating dye swaps. At T = 84 the platform GPL4072 was used. At T = 175 days the platform GPL4076 was used and at T =276 days the platform GPL4077 was used.
