Abstract

Fasciola hepatica is a global parasite of livestock which also causes a neglected zoonosis in humans. The parasite's communication with the host during its complicated lifecycle is based on an ingenious enzymatic apparatus which includes a variety of peptidases. These enzymes are implicated in parasite migration, pathogenesis of the disease, and modification of host immune response. Although the dynamics of proteolytic machinery produced by intra-mammalian F. hepatica life stages has been previously investigated in great detail, peptidases of the eggs so far received little scientific attention. In this study, we performed a comparative RNA-seq analysis aimed at identification of peptidases expressed in F. hepatica eggs, cultured at 37 °C to represent gall bladder retained eggs, for different time periods and employed mass spectrometry in order to identify and quantify peptidases translated in F. hepatica egg lysates. We demonstrated that F. hepatica eggs undergo significant molecular changes when cultured at the physiological temperature of the definitive host. Egg transcriptome is subject to numerous subtle changes while their proteome is even more variable. The peptidase profile is considerably modified on both transcriptome and proteome level. Finally, we measured and classified proteolytic activities in extracts from F. hepatica eggs using a library of fluorogenic substrates and peptidase class-selective inhibitors. Activities of threonine peptidases were detected constantly, while the cysteine peptidases prevailing in freshly laid eggs are substituted by aspartic peptidase and metallopeptidase activities in the later stages of egg development.

摘要

肝片形吸虫是一种全球性的家畜寄生虫,也会在人类中引起被忽视的动物源传染病。寄生虫在其复杂的生命周期中与宿主的交流依赖于一种巧妙的酶机制,其中包括多种肽酶。这些酶参与寄生虫的迁移、疾病的发病机制和宿主免疫反应的调节。尽管哺乳动物期肝片形吸虫产生的蛋白水解机制的动态已经被详细研究过,但卵中的肽酶迄今为止还没有得到太多的科学关注。在这项研究中,我们进行了一项比较 RNA-seq 分析,旨在鉴定在 37°C 培养的代表胆囊保留卵的肝片形吸虫卵中表达的肽酶,并使用质谱法鉴定和定量翻译为肝片形吸虫卵裂解物的肽酶。我们证明了肝片形吸虫卵在其最终宿主的生理温度下培养时会发生显著的分子变化。卵转录组发生了许多细微的变化,而其蛋白质组则更加多变。肽酶谱在转录组和蛋白质组水平上都发生了相当大的改变。最后,我们使用荧光底物文库和肽酶类选择性抑制剂测量和分类肝片形吸虫卵提取物中的蛋白水解活性。苏氨酸肽酶的活性一直存在,而在新鲜产卵中占主导地位的半胱氨酸肽酶在卵发育的后期被天冬氨酸肽酶和金属肽酶活性所取代。
