Project description:Purpose: Parasites of the genus Eimeria, and the closely related human pathogen Cyclospora cayetanensis, cause enteric disease in livestock and people worldwide. These coccidian parasites must undergo maturation (sporulation) before becoming infectious. Understanding oocyst maturation would benefit attempts to reduce the harm they cause to veterinary and human health. No animal model exists to study C. cayetanensis and the parasite cannot be grown in culture. We assessed transcription in maturing oocysts of Eimeria acervulina, a widespread chicken parasite, in order to identify markers of viability and those that may differentiate immature and mature oocysts. We also investigated predicted gene function and determined which of this parasite’s genes also occur in C. cayetanensis. Methods: E. acervulina oocysts were collected from chickens (3 biological replicates) and allowed to sporulate for 24 hours. RNA was extracted from oocysts that were collected every four hours and subjected to RNA-Sequencing. Data were screened for constitutively expressed genes throughout the time course. We also identified differentially expressed genes between immature and mature oocysts. We performed functional characterization of constitutively -expressed and significantly differentially-expressed genes and also biochemical pathway analysis. RT–qPCR validation on selected constitutively and differentially-expressed genes was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: RNA-Seq yielded ~2 billion paired-end reads, 92% of which mapped to the E. acervulina genome. The ~6,900 annotated genes underwent temporally-coordinated patterns of gene expression. Fifty-three constitutively expressed genes each contributed >1,000 TPM throughout, including those encoding cation-transporting ATPases, an oocyst wall protein, a palmitoyltransferase, membrane proteins, and hypothetical proteins. These genes were enriched for 285 gene ontology (GO) terms and 13 genes were associated with a total of 17 KEGG pathways, defining housekeeping processes and functions important throughout sporulation. Expression of more than 40% of these genes (2,928) differed in sporulated vs. unsporulated oocysts; of these, nearly two-thirds (1,843) increased their expression over time. Eight genes expressed most in unsporulated oocysts, and encoding proteins promoting oocyst maturation and development, could be assigned to 37 GO terms and 5 KEGG pathways. Fifty-six genes underwent significant upregulation in sporulated oocysts, each contributing at least 1,000 TPM. Of these, 40 were annotated by 215 GO assignments and 9 were associated with 18 KEGG pathways, encoding products involved in respiration, carbon fixation, energy utilization, invasion, motility, and stress and detoxification responses. Several RT-qPCR assays confirmed RNA-Seq as a valid means to estimate gene expression. Conclusions: Sporulation orchestrates coordinated changes in the expression of many coccidian genes, most especially those important to metabolic activity. These data elucidate the biology of coccidian development, provide means to evaluate the maturity of parasite cohorts, and may prove useful in predicting infectiousness. Moreover, because many of these genes have homologues in C. cayetanensis, they may prove useful as biomarkers for infectiousness.

Project description:Eimeria parasites cause enteric disease in livestock and the closely related Cyclospora cayetanensis causes human disease. Oocysts of these coccidian parasites undergo maturation (sporulation) before becoming infectious.

RNA-Sequencing yielded ~2 billion paired-end reads, 92% of which mapped to the E. acervulina genome. The ~6,900 annotated genes underwent temporally-coordinated patterns of gene expression. Fifty-three genes each contributed >1,000 transcripts per million (TPM) throughout the study interval, including cation-transporting ATPases, an oocyst wall protein, a palmitoyltransferase, membrane proteins, and hypothetical proteins. These genes were enriched for 285 gene ontology (GO) terms and 13 genes were ascribed to 17 KEGG pathways, defining housekeeping processes and functions important throughout sporulation. Expression differed in mature and immature oocysts for 40% (2,928) of all genes; of these, nearly two-thirds (1,843) increased their expression over time. Eight genes expressed most in immature oocysts, encoding proteins promoting oocyst maturation and development, were assigned to 37 GO terms and 5 KEGG pathways. Fifty-six genes underwent significant upregulation in mature oocysts, each contributing at least 1,000 TPM. Of these, 40 were annotated by 215 GO assignments and 9 were associated with 18 KEGG pathways, encoding products involved in respiration, carbon fixation, energy utilization, invasion, motility, and stress and detoxification responses. Sporulation orchestrates coordinated changes in the expression of many genes, most especially those governing metabolic activity. Establishing the long-term fate of these transcripts in sporulated oocysts and in senescent and deceased oocysts will further elucidate the biology of coccidian development, and may provide tools to assay infectiousness of parasite cohorts. Moreover, because many of these genes have homologues in C. cayetanensis, they may prove useful as biomarkers for risk.

Project description:MiRNAs are essential mediators of many biological processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks during exercise and subsequent recovery period. Here we monitored the transcriptome changes by microarray analysis of the whole blood of eight highly trained athletes after 30 min of moderate exercise followed by 30 min and 60 min of recovery period. We combined expression profiling and bioinformatics and analysed metabolic pathways enriched with differentially expressed mRNAs and then mRNAs which are known to be validated targets of differentially expressed miRNAs. Finally we revealed four dynamically regulated networks comprising differentially expressed miRNAs and their known target mRNAs with anti-correlated expression profiles over time. The data suggest that hsa-miR-21-5p regulated TGFBR3, PDGFD and PPM1L mRNAs. Hsa-miR-24-2-5p was likely to be responsible for MYC and KCNJ2 genes and hsa-miR-27a-5p for ST3GAL6. The targets of hsa-miR-181a-5p included ROPN1L and SLC37A3. All these mRNAs are involved in processes highly relevant to exercise response, including immune function, apoptosis, membrane traffic of proteins and transcription regulation. We have identified four miRNA-mRNA networks dynamically regulated following exercise. This work is the first study to monitor miRNAs and mRNAs in parallel into recovery period. The results provide a novel insight into the regulatory role of miRNAs in stress adaptation. Each subject performed a treadmill test with an incremental step protocol until exhaustion. Blood samples were taken from the antecubital vein using indwelling catheter before (T1), immediately after ramp test to exaustion (T2) and after 30 min of recovery (T3). Two weeks later, athletes participated in the main exercise, consisting of running at 80% VO2 peak for 30 min on a treadmill. Blood samples were taken from the antecubital vein using indwelling catheter before (T4), immediately after running at 80% VO2 peak for 30 min on a treadmill (T5), after 30 min (T6) and 60 min (T7) of recovery.

Project description:BackgroundExosomes are involved in cell-to-cell communication, neovascularization, cancer metastasis, and drug resistance, which all play an important role in the occurrence and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because there are few mechanistic studies about the function of exosomes in HCC, the goals of this study were to identify exosome-related genes in HCC, to establish a reliable prognostic model for HCC, and to explore underlying mechanisms.MethodsThe exoRBase and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases were used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analyses were used to identify DEGs closely related to the overall survival of patients with HCC. An exosome-related prognostic model was then constructed in TCGA and validated in the International Cancer Genome Consortium database. A nomogram was developed to predict survival. CIBERSORT was used to estimate the abundance of different types of immune cells. Immunotherapy-related DEGs were used to predict the effect of immunotherapy.ResultsForty-eight exosome-related DEGs were obtained; of them, five [exportin 1 (XPO1), lysosomal thiol reductase (IFI30), F-box protein 16 (FBXO16), calmodulin 1 (CALM1), MORC family CW-type zinc finger 3 (MORC3)] were selected to construct a predictive model. Patients with HCC were then divided into low- and high-risk groups using the best cut-off value, as determined by the X-tile software. Prognosis was significantly poorer in the high-risk than in the low-risk group (P=0.009; hazard ratio =2.65). Features related to exosomes were found to positively regulate immune response. Further analysis showed a higher risk score was associated with higher expression of immune checkpoint molecules, including programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2), T cell Ig and ITIM domain (TIGIT), and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1).ConclusionsThis study has identified a novel signature based on exosome-related genes that has potential as a prognostic biomarker for HCC. Our research provides an immunological perspective for the development of precision treatment for HCC.
