Project description:Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis. These intracellular bacteria establish infection by affecting cell function in both the vertebrate host and the tick vector, Ixodes scapularis. Previous studies have characterized the tick transcriptome and proteome in response to A. phagocytophilum infection. However, in the post-genomic era, the integration of omics datasets through a systems biology approach allows network-based analyses to describe the complexity and functionality of biological systems such as host-pathogen interactions and the discovery of new targets for prevention and control of infectious diseases. This study reports for the first time a systems biology integration of metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data to characterize essential metabolic pathways involved in the response of tick cells to A. phagocytophilum infection. The results showed that infection affected protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and glucose metabolic pathways in tick cells. These results supported tick-Anaplasma co-evolution by providing new evidence of how tick cells limit pathogen infection, while the pathogen benefits from the tick cell response to establish infection. The results suggested that A. phagocytophilum induces protein misfolding to limit the tick cell response and facilitate infection, but requires protein degradation to prevent ER stress and cell apoptosis to survive in infected cells. Additionally, A. phagocytophilum may benefit from the tick cellâs ability to limit bacterial infection through PEPCK inhibition leading to decreased glucose metabolism, which also results in the inhibition of cell apoptosis that increases infection of tick cells. These results support the use of this experimental approach to systematically identify tick cell pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in tick-pathogen interactions Two samples with two replicates each were analyzed. Samples included Ixodes scapularis ISE6 cells uninfected (control) and infected with Anaplasma phagocytophilum human NY18 isolate.

Project description:Adiponectin-mediated pathways contribute to mammalian homeostasis; however, little is known about adiponectin and adiponectin receptor signaling in arthropods. In this study, we demonstrate that Ixodes scapularis ticks have an adiponectin receptor-like protein (ISARL) but lack adiponectin, suggesting activation by alternative pathways. ISARL expression is significantly upregulated in the tick gut after Borrelia burgdorferi infection, suggesting that ISARL signaling may be co-opted by the Lyme disease agent. Consistent with this, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of ISARL significantly reduced the B. burgdorferi burden in the tick. RNA-seq-based transcriptomics and RNAi assays demonstrate that ISARL-mediated phospholipid metabolism by phosphatidylserine synthase I is associated with B. burgdorferi survival. Furthermore, the tick complement C1q-like protein 3 interacts with ISARL, and B. burgdorferi facilitates this process. This study identifies a new tick metabolic pathway that is connected to the life cycle of the Lyme disease spirochete.

Project description:Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that impact human and animal health worldwide. Tick saliva contains multiple biomolecules capable of disrupting host immunity, occasionally causing emergent tick-borne allergies like the alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS). Current results highlight a knowledge gap in characterizing tick salivary biomolecules, without alpha-Gal modifications, that influence host response to alpha-Gal and may be implicated in the AGS. This study aimed to functionally characterize biomolecules antigen p23 (A0A0K8RKR7) and metalloprotease (A0A0K8RCY8) based on their role in Ixodes ricinus tick feeding and reproduction, determined after gene knockdown by RNA interference and further transcriptomics analysis. Silencing the expression of antigen p23 and metalloprotease did not result in any significant differences in tick engorgement and egg batch weights compared to the GFP control group. Transcriptomics analysis revealed a total of 438 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in the antigen p23-silenced group, including 149 upregulated and 78 downregulated genes. GSEA analysis following antigen p23 gene knockdown identified significantly upregulated pathways associated with protein production and suppressed routes mostly correlated with ion transport, lipid metabolism, catalytic activity, protein modification, and G-protein activity. Partially silencing metalloprotease in tick midguts led to the identification of 182 DEGs, comprising 104 upregulated and 78 downregulated genes. Ablation of endogenous metalloprotease led to the upregulation of several biological and functional pathways associated with RNA splicing and significantly suppressed routes connected with detoxification, protein modification, catalytic activity and molecule binding. These findings provide valuable insights into tick physiology, providing a foundation for further research on tick-host interactions and AGS pathogenesis.
