Project description:The transmission of the most virulent human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, relies on the survival in the contrasting environments of the human host and mosquito vector. One of the most fascinating adaptations to this lifestyle is the specific silencing of individual rDNA genes in the human host that are de-repressed following host-to-vector transmission. In this study, we characterized the epigenetic signatures of active and silent rDNA loci and found that rDNA silencing relies on aerobic glycolysis, the sole energy-generating pathway in the human host. We show that disruption of NAD+ regeneration during lactate fermentation promotes rDNA de-repression and identify Sir2 as the mediator between fluctuating NAD+ levels and a functional transcriptional outcome. Hence, rDNA activation appears to be coupled to the metabolic state of the parasite as it transitions from aerobic glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration during host-to-vector transmission.

Project description:Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) encodes the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S RNA components of ribosomes, accounting for up to 70% of cellular transcription. Despite its central role in cellular function and known association with cancer and aging, quantifying rDNA instability in mammals remains challenging due to its repetitive organization and inherent heterogeneity. In this study, we developed murine rDNA FISH probes and genomic tools tailored for laboratory strains. The results confirmed the locations of rDNA clusters, uncovered marked inter-/intra-strain and inter-cell heterogeneity at rDNA loci in inbred mice and unstressed cells, and identified sources of spontaneous, replication-associated DNA double-strand breaks within rDNA. Focused mini-screens using DNA repair-deficient cells uncovered distinct contributions of homologous recombination, non-homologous end-joining, and the ATM-mediated DNA damage response in safeguarding rDNA stability. Together, these findings and tools provide a robust framework for assessing rDNA instability in mammalian cells and animal models with applications in aging and cancer research.

Project description:Schistosoma japonicum is one of the remarkable platyhelminths that are endemic in the South Asian countries. The parasite is dioecious and can parasitize inside host blood stream for many years. Rapid reproduction by producing large number of eggs and count-react or active manipulating host anti-parasite responses are the strategies that benefit the long term parasitization of the parasite. Currently, Praziquantel is the only commercial drug that is effective against the worms but not the eggs of parasite in the host and no vaccine available to prevent human or animal schistosomiasis. Development of novel antiparasite reagents and immune-prevention measures rely on the deciphering of parasite biology. The decoding of the genomic sequence of the parasite has made it possible to dissect the biological functions of genes that govern the development of the parasite inside the hosts. In this study, the polyadenylated RNA from male and female S. japonicum was isolated and deep sequenced. By comparative analysis on the transcriptomic differences of the two sexes of the parasite, potential genes or gender-specific biological pathways can be targeted. Messenger RNA from male and female S. japonicum parasite was selectively purified from total RNA using oligo-(dT) conjugated magnetic beads. Complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized guided by oligo-(dT) as a primer.

Project description:Parasite biology, by its very nature, cannot be understood without integrating it with that of the host, nor can the host response be adequately explained without considering the activity of the parasite. However, due to experimental limitations, molecular studies of parasite-host systems have been predominantly one-sided investigations focusing on either of the partners. Here we conduct a joint dual RNA-seq time course analysis of filarial parasite and host mosquito to better understand the parasite processes underlying development in, and interaction with, the host tissue from the establishment of infection to the emergence of infective-stage larva. Using the Brugia malayi-Aedes aegypti system, we report the parasite gene transcription dynamics, which exhibit a highly ordered developmental program consisting of a series of cyclical and state-transitioning temporal patterns. And, we contextualize these parasite data in relation to the concurrent dynamics of the host transcriptome. Comparative analyses using uninfected tissues and different host strains reveal the influence of parasite development on the host gene transcription as well as the influence of host environment on the parasite gene transcription. Furthermore, we critically evaluate the life-cycle transcriptome of B. malayi by comparing developmental stages in the mosquito relative to those in the mammalian host, providing insight into gene expression changes underpinning the mosquito-borne parasitic lifestyle of this heteroxenous parasite.

Time-course mRNA profiles of filarial parasite Brugia malayi and host mosqutio Aedes aegypti were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx.
