Abstract
Haemonchus contortus is an important parasite that causes disease that seriously endangers ruminant animals cattle, sheep, goat, and camel. Here, we compared the proeomics analysis of three adult Haemonchus contortus isolates from mouflons (Ovis ammon). A total of 1,299 adult worm proteins were identified, and 461 proteins were quantified, of which 82 (108), 83 (97), and 97 (86) significantly upregulated (downregulated) differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were detected among pairwise comparisons (1-vs.-3, 2-vs.-3, and 2-vs.-1). Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS) and bioinformatic analysis indicated that these DEPs are mainly concentrated in cellular composition, molecular function, biological function, and catabolism pathways. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) classification and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were carried out to screen the DEPs. The main biological processes involved were nucleotide, nucleotide phosphate, ribonucleotide, purine-containing compound, purine ribonucleotide, single-organism, oxoacid, organic, carboxylic, oxoacid metabolic processes and single-organism catabolic processes. The majority of KEGG pathways were found to be related to metabolic pathways, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, biosynthesis of antibiotics, carbon metabolism, and microbial metabolism in diverse environments. Moreover, we also found differences in the expression of some important or novel regulatory proteases, such as serine hydroxymethyl transferase (SHMT), dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (DLD), and transket pyr domain-containing protein (TKPD). In summary, label-free proteomic analysis of adult H. contortus worms displayed significant differences in three different individual isolates, which helps to improve our understanding of the growth and metabolic mechanisms of H. contortus in different individuals and relative natural environments and provides novel drug targets for the treatment of parasitic diseases.

Abstract
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a one-of-a-kind treatment among contemporary bariatric surgical procedures, and its therapeutic effects for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are satisfactory. The present study performed isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis identifying different proteomics between T2DM rats with or without Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, and GTP binding elongation factor GUF1 (Guf1) was first found to be significantly upregulated in rats from the T2DM plus RYGB group. In the cellular lipotoxicity model induced by palmitic acid stimulation of rat pancreatic beta cell line, INS-1, palmitic acid treatment inhibited cell viability, suppressed GSIS, promoted lipid droplet formation, promoted cell apoptosis, and induced mitochondrial membrane potential loss. The effects of palmitic acid on INS-1 cells mentioned above could be partially eliminated by Guf1 overexpression but aggravated by Guf1 knockdown. Last, under palmitic acid treatment, Guf1 overexpression promotes the PI3K/Akt and NF-κB signaling but inhibits the AMPK activation. Guf1 is upregulated in T2DM rats who received RYGB, and Guf1 overexpression improves cell mitochondrial functions, increases cell proliferation, inhibits cell apoptosis, and promotes cell functions in palmitic acid-treated β cells.

Abstract
A protein of Eimeria tenella (encoded by the locus ETH_00028350) homologous to Toxoplasma gondii dense granule protein 9, designated as EtHGRA9 hereafter, was reported to be expressed in all life cycle stages of E. tenella. However, no data are currently available regarding its functional properties. In the present study, a recombinant vector harboring a 741 bp gene segment encoding the mature form of EtHGRA9 was constructed and transfected into leghorn male hepatoma (LMH) cells. Then, transcriptomic analysis of the transfected LMH cells was carried out by using a high-throughput RNA-seq technology. The LMH cells overexpressing EtHGRA9 was validated by means of Western blotting as well as indirect immunofluorescence staining. The results demonstrated that the expression of 547 genes (275 upregulated genes and 272 downregulated genes) was altered by EtHGRA9. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation of the ten genes with differential expression between the two groups was consistent with the transcriptome analysis. According to pathway enrichment analysis for the obtained differentially expressed genes, seven pathways were significantly affected by EtHGRA9, such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, MAPK signaling pathway, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. Our data reveal several possible roles of EtHGRA9 in immune or inflammatory responses, which paves the way for a better understanding of the molecular interplay between E. tenella and its host.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic resistance in retort to environmental pollutants during wastewater treatment still remains elusive. Here, we first to investigate the emergence of antibiotic resistance in an environmental non-pathogenic bacterium, Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana isolated from a lab-scale bioreactor treating wastewater containing streptomycin. The molecular mechanism of antibiotic resistance development was evaluated in its genomic, transcriptional, and proteomic levels. The streptomycin resistant (SR) strain showed strong resistance to streptomycin (MIC > 600 μg/mL) as well to sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, and kanamycin (≥250 μg/mL). A 13.4 kb class-1-integron array consisting of a new arrangement of gene cassette (IS6100-sul1-aadA2-catB3-aacA1-2-aadB-int1-IS256-int) linked with Tn5393c transposon was identified in the SR strain, which has only been reported in clinical pathogens so far. iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS proteomics revealed 22 up-regulated proteins in the SR strain growing under 100 mg L-1 streptomycin, involving antibiotic resistance, toxin production, stress response, and ribosomal protein synthesis. At the mRNA level, elevated expressions of ARGs (strA, strB, and aadB) and 30S-ribosomal protein genes (rpsA and rpsU) were observed in the SR strain. The results highlighted the genomic plasticity and multifaceted regulatory mechanism employed by P. mexicana in adaptation to high-level streptomycin during biological wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Avian coccidiosis caused by Eimeria leads to severe economic losses in the global poultry industry. Although chicken Toll-like receptor 15 (ChTLR15) was reported to be involved in Eimeria infection, the detailed mechanism underlying its role in the inflammatory response remains to be discovered. The present study demonstrated that the mRNA expression levels of ChTLR15, ChMyD88, ChNF-κB, ChNLRP3, ChCaspase-1, ChIL-18 and ChIL-1β and the protein levels of ChTLR15 and ChNLRP3 in cecal tissues of Eimeria-infected chickens were significantly elevated at 4, 12, and 24 h compared with those in noninfected control chickens (p < 0.01). Moreover, the mRNA levels of molecules in the ChTLR15/ChNF-κB and ChNLRP3/ChIL-1β pathways and the protein levels of ChTLR15 and ChNLRP3 in chicken embryo fibroblast cells (DF-1) stimulated by E. tenella sporozoites were consistent with those in Eimeria-infected chickens. Furthermore, overexpression of ChTLR15 in DF1 cells augmented activation of the ChTLR15/ChNF-κB and ChNLRP3/ChIL-1β pathways when stimulated with E. tenella sporozoites, while knockdown of ChTLR15 in DF1 cells showed inverse effects. Taken together, the present study provides evidence that E. tenella sporozoites specifically activate ChTLR15 and then trigger activation of the ChNLRP3/ChIL-1β pathway, which partially mediates inflammatory responses to Eimeria infection.

Abstract
Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is a type I integral membrane protein that is highly conserved in apicomplexan parasites. Previous studies have shown that Eimeria tenella AMA1 (EtAMA1) is critical for sporozoite invasion of host cells. Here, we show that EtAMA1 is a microneme protein secreted by sporozoites, confirming previous results. Individual and combined treatment with antibodies of EtAMA1 and its interacting proteins, E. tenella rhoptry neck protein 2 (EtRON2) and Eimeria-specific protein (EtESP), elicited significant anti-invasion effects on the parasite in a concentration-dependent manner. The overexpression of EtAMA1 in DF-1 cells showed a significant increase of sporozoite invasion. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with LC-MS/MS were used to screen differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in DF-1 cells transiently transfected with EtAMA1. In total, 3953 distinct nonredundant proteins were identified and 163 of these were found to be differentially expressed, including 91 upregulated proteins and 72 downregulated proteins. The DEPs were mainly localized within the cytoplasm and were involved in protein binding and poly(A)-RNA binding. KEEG analyses suggested that the key pathways that the DEPs belonged to included melanogenesis, spliceosomes, tight junctions, and the FoxO and MAPK signaling pathways. The data in this study not only provide a comprehensive dataset for the overall protein changes caused by EtAMA1 expression, but also shed light on EtAMA1’s potential molecular mechanisms during Eimeria infections.

Poult Sci 2020; 98:6472-6482. [PMID: 31509194 PMCID: PMC8913949 DOI: 10.3382/ps/pez532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Sudden death syndrome (SDS), which is a cardiac-related condition commonly observed in chickens selected for rapid growth, causes significant economic losses to the global poultry industry. Its pathogenesis in broilers is poorly understood, and little is known about the proteome of the heart tissue of SDS broilers. A quantitative proteomic approach using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification labeling of peptides was used to characterize the protein expression profiles in the left ventricle of SDS broilers. These proteins were further analyzed by bioinformatics, and two proteins were validated by western blot analysis. We identified 186 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), of which 72 were upregulated, and 114 were downregulated in the SDS group. Functional annotation suggested that 7 DEPs were related to cardiac muscle contraction, and another 7 DEPs were related to cardiac energy metabolism. Protein interaction network predictions indicated that differences in cardiac muscle contraction between SDS and healthy groups were regulated by troponin T, tropomyosin alpha-1 chain, fast myosin heavy chain HCIII, myosin-1B, coronin, and myoglobin, whereas differences in cardiac energy metabolism and biosynthesis of amino acids were regulated by gamma-enolase, phosphoglycerate mutase, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 2, serine/threonine-protein kinase, myoglobin, and alpha-amylase. Our expression profiles provide useful information and new insights into key proteins to elucidate SDS for further studies.
