EFFECTS of BLOOD FEEDING on the TRANSCRIPTOME of the MALPIGHIAN TUBULES in the ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO AEDES ALBOPICTUS Thesis EFFECTS OF BLOOD FEEDING ON THE TRANSCRIPTOME OF THE MALPIGHIAN TUBULES IN THE ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO AEDES ALBOPICTUS Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master in Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carlos J. Esquivel Palma, B.S. Graduate Program in Entomology The Ohio State University 2015 Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. Peter M. Piermarini, Advisor Dr. David L. Denlinger Dr. Andrew P. Michel Copyright by Carlos J. Esquivel Palma 2015 Abstract Mosquitoes are one of the major threats to human health worldwide. They are vectors of protozoans, arboviruses, and filarial nematodes that cause diseases in humans and animals. The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is a vector of medically important arboviruses such as dengue fever, chikungunya fever, yellow fever, eastern equine encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis, and West Nile fever. Control of these diseases often involves control of the mosquito vectors with chemical insecticides. However, the use of a limited number of chemicals with similar modes of actions has led to resistance in several mosquito species. The development of new insecticides with novel modes of action is considered a promising strategy to overcome resistance. The Piermarini lab has recently shown that the renal (Malpighian) tubules of mosquitoes are promising physiological targets to disrupt for killing mosquitoes via a novel mode of action. The Malpighian tubules play a critical role in the acute processing of blood meals, by mediating the rapid excretion of water and ions derived from the ingested blood. However, the physiological roles of Malpighian tubules during the chronic processing of blood meals after the initial diuresis is complete (~1-2 h after feeding) are not known. Therefore, the goal of this thesis was to characterize the transcriptomic dynamics of Malpighian tubules at 3 h, 12 h, and 24 h after blood feeding using next generation sequencing (RNA-Seq). ii In Chapter 2, we generated single-end sequences of cDNA libraries derived from Malpighian tubules of non-blood fed and blood fed A. albopictus (adult females) and mapped them to the existing genome of Aedes aegypti. We found molecular evidence for a dramatic functional transition occurring in the tubules after blood feeding by focusing on transcripts that showed sustained up- or down- regulation; i.e., two or more consecutive periods of differential expression. In brief, our results suggest that the Malpighian tubules switch from a tissue dedicated to salt and water excretion to one more focused on the detoxification and excretion of metabolic wastes associated with blood meal processing (e.g., heme, ammonia). In Chapter 3, we generated paired-end sequences of cDNA libraries derived from Malpighian tubules of non-blood fed and blood fed A. albopictus and assembled the first de novo transcriptome for mosquito Malpighian tubules. The data provide insights into functional processes enriched in the Malpighian tubules of non-blood fed mosquitoes and confirm the dramatic molecular changes we found in Chapter 2. In addition, we conducted physiological and biochemical assays on mosquitoes and isolated Malpighian tubules, respectively, under non-blood fed and blood fed mosquitoes to confirm whether the transcriptomic changes manifested in functional changes. As predicted by the molecules changes, we demonstrated that blood fed mosquitoes have a lower capacity to excrete urine compared to non-blood fed mosquitoes, and that Malpighian tubules from blood fed mosquitoes have a higher GST activity and amount of uric acid compared to tubules from non-blood fed mosquitoes. iii This study provides new insights into the molecular physiology of Malpighian tubules and their roles in the chronic processing of blood meals. In particular, this work provides 1) the first demonstration that blood feeding affects the Malpighian tubules, 2) the first Malpighian tubule transcriptome in mosquitoes, and 3) identifies potential insecticide targets that could be used to disrupt the renal processing of blood meals in mosquitoes. iv Dedication This work is dedicated to my parents for their unconditional love and support, to my sisters Dalia and Alice, and brother Nery, to my lovely family that trusted in me, and prays for me every day, and to a very special person that came to my life just at the right moment, Rian L. v Acknowledgments I would like to thank: Dr. Luis Cañas and Nuris Acosta for the invaluable opportunity that they provided me, my advisor Dr. Peter M.

China Received March 24, 2014; Accepted June 23, 2014; Epub June 15, 2014; Published July 1, 2014 Abstract: Objective: Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated to differenti- ate into female endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) in vivo. Our previous studies demonstrated that BMSCs can differentiate in the direction of EECs when co-cultured with endometrial stromal cells in vitro. Here, we obtain and analyse differential proteins and their relevant pathways in the process of BMSCs differentiating into EECs by iso- baric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomic analysis. Methods: A 0.4-µm pore size indirect co- culture system was established with female mice endometrial stromal cells (EStCs) restricted in the upper Transwell chamber and BMSCs in the lower well plate. After indirect co-culture for several days, the BMSCs were revealed to progressively differentiate towards EECs in vitro. Then, four groups were divided according to different co-culture days with single culture groups of BMSCs as controls.

  • (HMGB1) Deletion Leads to Small Heart and Glycolipid Metabolic
    Yu et al. Cell Death Discovery (2020) 6:106 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41420-020-00340-9 Cell Death Discovery ARTICLE Open Access Cardiomyocyte-restricted high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) deletion leads to small heart and glycolipid metabolic disorder through GR/PGC-1α signalling Peng Yu 1, Ming Liu2,BaoliZhang3,YingYu2,EnyongSu3,ShiyaoXie3,LeiZhang3,XueYang3,HongJiang 3, Ruizhen Chen3, Yunzeng Zou3 and Junbo Ge3 Abstract Cardiac growth and remodelling are key biological processes influencing the physiological performance of the heart, and a previous study showed a critical role for intracellular HMGB1 in vitro. However, the in vivo study, which used conditional Hmgb1 ablation, did not show a significant effect on cellular or organic function. We have demonstrated the extracellular effect of HMGB1 as a pro-inflammatory molecule on cardiac remodelling. In this study, we found that HMGB1 deletion by cTnT-Cre in mouse hearts altered glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function and glycolipid metabolism, eventually leading to growth retardation, small heart and heart failure. The subcellular morphology did not show a significant change caused by HMGB1 knockout. The heart showed significant elevation of glycolysis, free fatty acid deposition and related enzyme changes. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a list of differentially expressed genes that coincide with glucocorticoid receptor function in neonatal mice and a significant increase in inflammatory genes in 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; adult mice. Cardiac HMGB1 knockout led to a series of changes in PGC-1α, UCP3 and GyK, which were the cause of metabolic changes and further impacted cardiac function. Ckmm-Cre Hmgb1fl/fl mice did not show a specific phenotype, which was consistent with the reported negative result of cardiomyocyte-specific Hmgb1 deletion via MHC-Cre.

ABSTRACT Microtubules, protein polymers of α/β-tubulin dimers, form the structural framework for many essential cellular processes including cell shape formation, intracellular transport, and segregation of chromosomes during cell division. It is known that tubulin-GTP hydrolysis is closely associated with microtubule polymerization dynamics. However, the precise roles of GTP hydrolysis in tubulin polymerization and microtubule depolymerization, and how it is initiated are still not clearly defined. We report here that tubulin-GTP hydrolysis can be triggered by conformational change induced by the depolymerizing kinesin-13 proteins or by the stabilizing chemical agent paclitaxel. We provide biochemical evidence that conformational change precedes tubulin-GTP hydrolysis, confirming this process is mechanically driven and structurally directional.

  • Ecological Studies on Mango Leaf Webber (Orthaga Exvinaceahamp.)
    Internat. J. agric. Sci. Vol.2 No.2 July 2006 : (308-311) 308 Ecological studies on mango leaf webber (Orthaga exvinacea Hamp.) in Andhra Pradesh as a basis for IPM M. Kannan*1 and N. Venugopala Rao Department of Entomology, S.V. Agricultural College, TIRUPATI (A.P.) INDIA ABSTRACT The influence of ecological factors viz., biotic (Host plant) and abiotic factors (weather parameters) on the abundance and population fluctuation of leaf webber, Orthaga exvinacea (Hamp.) on mango under the conditions of Chittoor district were worked out. Peak incidence was observed during first fortnight of November (19.4 webs/tree). However, gradual increase was observed from the first fortnight of July (2.6 webs/tree) and declined during second fortnight of January (3.2 webs/tree). Correlation studies between incidence and weather parameters showed positive relationship with minimum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall and negative relationship with maximum temperature. None of the varieties was free from infestation. The infestation ranged from 7.80 to 29.47 webs/tree, 5.82 to 22.55 leaves/web and 1.92 to 29.47 larvae/tree. Variety Neelum showed less infestation, while Bangalore showed severe infestation and other varieties viz., Neeleghan, Cherakurasam, Mulgova, Rumani, Baneshan and Swarnajahangir have moderate infestation. Result of the study also revealed that older mango trees (15 and above years old) were more susceptible (18.26, 348.75, 121.61 webs/tree, webbed leaves/tree and larva/ tree, respectively) to leaf webber damage than young trees (0-5 years old). Key Words: Mango leaf webber, Ecological studies, Varietal susceptibility, Abiotic factors INTRODUCTION Impact of abiotic factors on population dynamics of leaf webber Mango, Mangifera indica is an important fruit crop of India.

  • (KPNA7), a Divergent Member of the Importin a Family of Nuclear Import
    Kelley et al. BMC Cell Biology 2010, 11:63 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2121/11/63 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Karyopherin a7 (KPNA7), a divergent member of the importin a family of nuclear import receptors Joshua B Kelley1, Ashley M Talley1, Adam Spencer1, Daniel Gioeli2, Bryce M Paschal1,3* Abstract Background: Classical nuclear localization signal (NLS) dependent nuclear import is carried out by a heterodimer of importin a and importin b. NLS cargo is recognized by importin a, which is bound by importin b. Importin b mediates translocation of the complex through the central channel of the nuclear pore, and upon reaching the nucleus, RanGTP binding to importin b triggers disassembly of the complex. To date, six importin a family members, encoded by separate genes, have been described in humans. Results: We sequenced and characterized a seventh member of the importin a family of transport factors, karyopherin a 7 (KPNA7), which is most closely related to KPNA2. The domain of KPNA7 that binds Importin b (IBB) is divergent, and shows stronger binding to importin b than the IBB domains from of other importin a family members. With regard to NLS recognition, KPNA7 binds to the retinoblastoma (RB) NLS to a similar degree as KPNA2, but it fails to bind the SV40-NLS and the human nucleoplasmin (NPM) NLS. KPNA7 shows a predominantly nuclear distribution under steady state conditions, which contrasts with KPNA2 which is primarily cytoplasmic. Conclusion: KPNA7 is a novel importin a family member in humans that belongs to the importin a2 subfamily. KPNA7 shows different subcellular localization and NLS binding characteristics compared to other members of the importin a family.

INTRODUCTION Mirid bugs of the tribe Termatophylini are known to inhabit inflorescences, moth larval galleries or rolled bark. They are known to feed on thrips, besides feeding on nectar and pollen (Cassis, 1995; Cassis et al., 2011; Yasunaga et al., 2001). Three species of the genus Termatophylidea Reuter and Poppius were reported to attack on the cacao thrips, occupying the niche shared by anthocorids. It is assumed that these mirids are obligate predators and feed exclusively on thrips.
