Project description:Arthropods include chelicerates, crustaceans, and insects that all have open circulation systems and thus require different properties of their coagulation system than vertebrates. Although the clotting reaction in the chelicerate horseshoe crab has been described in details, the overall protein composition of the resulting clot has not been analysed for any of the chelicerates. The largest class among the chelicerates is the arachnids, which includes spiders, ticks, mites, and scorpions. Here, we use a mass spectrometry-based approach to characterize the spider hemolymph clot proteome from the Brazilian whiteknee tarantula, Acanthoscurria geniculate. We focused on the insoluble part of the clot and demonstrated high concentrations of proteins homologous to the hemostasis-related and multimerization-prone von Willebrand factor. These proteins, which include hemolectins and vitellogenin homologous, were previously identified as essential components of the hemolymph clot in crustaceans and insects. Their presence in the spider hemolymph clot suggests that the origin of these proteins’ function in coagulation predates the split between chelicerates and mandibulata. The clot proteome reveals that the major proteinaceous component is the oxygen-transporting and phenoloxidase-displaying abundant hemolymph protein hemocyanin, suggesting that this protein also plays a role in clot biology. In general, many of the identified clot-proteins are related to the innate immune system, and our results support the previously suggested crosstalk between immunity and coagulation in arthropods.

Project description:Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a critical nosocomial pathogen with limited treatment options. Although antibiotic resistance in CRAB is well-characterized, its interactions with host immunity and the contribution of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) to pathogenesis remain poorly understood. We examined a clinical CRAB isolate and compared it with the reference strain A19606. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed complete resistance of CRAB to commonly used antibiotics in clinical practice, while A19606 remained susceptible to most agents. In murine intranasal infection models and bone marrow-derived macrophages, CRAB induced significantly stronger activation of inflammatory signaling pathways and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines relative to A19606. Transcriptomic analysis of infected lung tissue identified differentially expressed genes, enriched for inflammatory response pathways. proteomics showed upregulated proteins in CRAB related to secretion systems. OMVs characterization revealed that CRAB-derived OMVs highly enriched in proteins associated with periplasmic and outer membrane spaces, and more potent in triggering macrophage inflammatory signaling. CRAB displays expansive antibiotic resistance and enhanced pro-inflammatory potential mediated in part by unique OMVs properties. Targeting OMVs formation or host immune modulation may represent effective strategies for combating CRAB infections.

Project description:Background: The Scylla paramamosain is a very important aquaculture crustacean species in the southeast coastal areas of China including Shantou. For the past few years, mud crab cultured in Niutianyang of Shantou suffered from serious diseases, especially the bacterial diseases (such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus). In eukaryotes, small RNAs can regulate gene expression in post-transcription to act on host-pathogen interaction system. Aims: V.parahaemolyticus isolated from Shantou Niutianyang crab culture area was injected to S.paramamosains to carry out an essential analysis on global miRNA expression in diverse tissues between two groups by the Illumina Solex deep sequencing technology. Methodology:To examine the relationship between mud crab miRNA expression and the bacterial pathogen, we collected mixed two pools of equal amounts of RNA from 7 different mud crab tissues (mesenteron, heart, liver, gill, brain, muscle and blood) and sequencing by Illumine/Solexa deep sequencing technology under normal conditions and during infection with V.parahaemolyticus. The high throughput sequencing resulted in 19,144,358 and 18,559,070 raw reads corresponding to 17,496,577 and 16,888,096 high-quality mappable reads for the normal and infected mixed pools, respectively. Stem-loop RT-qPCRs were used to confirm the microRNAs expression in different tissues of two pools. The results show that miRNAs might play a key role in regulating gene expression during mud crab S.paramamosain infection with V.parahaemolyticus. Conclusions: We identified a large number of miRNAs during the mud crab Scylla paramamosain infection with V.parahaemolyticus, some of which are differentially expressed between the treatments and the controls. The study provides an opportunity for further understanding of small RNA function in the regulation of molecular response and gives us clues for further studies of the mechanisms of V.parahaemolyticus infection in mud crab.

Project description:Crab is one of the major source for V. parahaemolyticus outbreak among aquatic products in Northeast Asian due to improperly cooking and wound infection by mishandling. However, there is no report on whole genome sequence of V. parahaemolyticus isolated from contaminated crab, thus no information is available for major virulence factors about V. parahaemolyticus obtained from crab. Therefore, the analysis of transcriptome of isolated V. parahaemolyticus from crab products are necessary to investigate potential risk of foodborne illness by contaminated products.

Project description:The decrease of pH level in the water affects animals living in aquatic habitat, such as crustaceans. The molecular mechanisms enabling these animals to survive this environmental stress remain unknown. To understand the modulatory function of neuropeptides in crustaceans when encountering drops in pH level, we developed and implemented a multifaceted mass spectrometric platform to investigate the global neuropeptide changes in response to water acidification in the Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. Neural tissues were collected at different incubation periods to monitor dynamic changes of neuropeptides under different stress conditions occurring in the animal. Neuropeptide families were found to exhibit distinct expression patterns in different tissues and even each isoform had its specific response to the stress. Circulating fluid in the crabs (hemolymph) was also analyzed after 2-hour exposure to acidification condition, and together with results from tissue analysis, enabled the discovery of neuropeptides participating in the stress accommodation process as putative hormones. Two novel peptide sequences were detected in the hemolymph that appeared to be involved in the stress-related regulation in the crabs.

Project description:Among the 865,918 probes in the Illumina DNA methylation arrays MethylationEPIC BeadChip, a total of 183,509 probes (21.2%) were selected as high-confidence array probes in the crab-eating macaque. Subsequent comparisons revealed that the data from these probes showed good concordance with other DNA methylation datasets of the crab-eating macaque. The selected high-confidence array probes would be useful for high-throughput DNA methylation assays of the crab-eating macaque.
