Abstract

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are constantly subjected to many biotic stressors including parasites. This study examined honeybees infected with Nosema ceranae (N. ceranae). N. ceranae infection increases the bees energy requirements and may contribute to their decreased survival. RNA-seq was used to investigate gene expression at days 5, 10 and 15 Post Infection (P.I) with N. ceranae. The expression levels of genes, isoforms, alternative transcription start sites (TSS) and differential promoter usage revealed a complex pattern of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation suggesting that bees use a range of tactics to cope with the stress of N. ceranae infection. N. ceranae infection may cause reduced immune function in the bees by: (i)disturbing the host amino acids metabolism (ii) down-regulating expression of antimicrobial peptides (iii) down-regulation of cuticle coatings and (iv) down-regulation of odorant binding proteins.

<abstract>
<p>Honeybees (
<italic>Apis mellifera</italic>
) are constantly subjected to many biotic stressors including parasites. This study examined honeybees infected with
<italic>Nosema ceranae</italic>
(
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
).
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
infection increases the bees energy requirements and may contribute to their decreased survival. RNA-seq was used to investigate gene expression at days 5, 10 and 15 Post Infection (P.I) with
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
. The expression levels of genes, isoforms, alternative transcription start sites (TSS) and differential promoter usage revealed a complex pattern of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation suggesting that bees use a range of tactics to cope with the stress of
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
infection.
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
infection may cause reduced immune function in the bees by: (i)disturbing the host amino acids metabolism (ii) down-regulating expression of antimicrobial peptides (iii) down-regulation of cuticle coatings and (iv) down-regulation of odorant binding proteins.</p>

<p>Honeybees (
<italic>Apis mellifera</italic>
), are critical for agricultural ecosystems, but are exposed to many biotic stressors including bacteria, viruses and fungi.
<italic>Nosema ceranae</italic>
(
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
) is a microsporidian parasite which is one of the most common parasites of the honeybee. It infects the midgut [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
] and has many adverse effects which reduce the health of individual honeybees [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] and of the colony [

infection is associated with several fitness related problems including deterioration of the gut epithelial cells [

,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
], immune suppression [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
] and energetic stress [

,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
].Honeybees have developed many defense mechanisms to deal with parasite infection which include an antimicrobial secretion layer on the gut, and cellular and humoral immune mechanisms [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. The honeybee humoral response has been shown to involve four antimicrobial peptides, abaecin, apidaecin, defensin and hymenoptaecin [

genome sequence was published in 2004 [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
] and an improved version of the genome sequencewas published in 2014 [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. This sequence is valuable for the interpretation of RNA-seq data to study gene expression. RNA-seq may be used [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
] to characterize the whole transcriptome including transcription start sites (TSS), splicing variants and differential promoter usage [

].</p>
<p>The molecular response of the honey bee to infection by
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
has been investigated using RNA-seq, but the focus to date has been on cells of the midgut [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. Digital gene expression has also been used to study the neurogenomic response to
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
in the bee brain [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
].The honey-bee nervous system, trachea and intestine interact to maintain the physiological homeostasis following damage resulting from infection; e.g. intestinal stem cells replace damaged intestinal epithelial cells [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
]. Interestingly, the message for intestinal regeneration come not only from the damaged epithelial cells, but also from adjacent (trachea, muscles) and distant tissues, and the brain (reviewed in [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]).</p>
<p>In this study, RNA-seq was used to investigate gene expression, splice variants, TSSs and differential promoter usage in honeybees infected with
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
at days 5, 10 and 15 P.I. The new version of the bee genome (Amel_4.5_scaffolds.fa) was used to annotate the genes. The study addressed the global transcriptome response of the bee to
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
infection, not the response of specific tissues, and identified many transcripts and pathways involved in the interaction between the honeybee and the parasite.</p>

<p>After about 2 days, the emerging bees were counted, and 30 bees were retained within each box. The two boxes were transferred to the inoculation chamber (25°C) with a 12 hour dark/light (12/12 d/l) cycle.

On days 5, 10 and 15, five bees per box were removed and ground in liquid nitrogen, transferred in micro-tube containing Trizol and stored at -80°C. The number of live/dead bees in both boxes was counted daily and the dead bees were carefully removed. Total RNA was extracted from three bees from each box and at each time point (5, 10 and 15 days post infection, P.I.) using TRIzol (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Milan-Italy) and RNeasy columns (Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed by microcapillary electrophoresis on an Agilent 2001 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) with RNA 6000 Nanochips.

<title>RNA-seq data analysis and functional analysis of differentially expressed genes between control and infected bees</title>
<p>RNA-seq data analysis was performed as reported by Badaoui et al [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. Briefly, sequence visualization and statistical analyses were performed with FASTQC (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/fastqch">http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/fastqch</ext-link>
). Reads were mapped to the latest version of the honeybee reference genome (Amel_4.5_scaffolds.fa) [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]) using TopHat v2.0.10 with default parameters [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. Transcript assembly was performed using Cufflinks v2.2.0 [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. Once the short read sequences were assembled, the output files were merged using the Cuffmerge [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>

<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/">http://hymenopteragenome.org/beebase/</ext-link>
). Differential expression analysis was performed using the Cuffdiff function [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. Three comparisons of gene expression were made between the control and infected bees at days 5, 10 and 15 P.I. For all the analyses, a feature was considered significant if the false discovery rate (FDR) was less than 0.05. The differentially expressed genes at 5, 10 and 15 days P.I were mapped to pathways from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>

<title>Proboscis Extension Reflex assay (PER) to assess hunger levels by sucrose uptake behavior</title>
<p>After day 14, eight bees from each box were captured individually with forceps and each bee was placed individually in a glass vial and chilled on ice for 1 min. The bees were fixed to a long plastic drinking straw with tape around the thorax. Testing began 1h17min after the last bees were attached to the straws. The antennae were touched with a droplet of sucrose and if a bee responded by fully extending the proboscis—a Proboscis Extension Response (PER)—was recorded. Each bee was assayed for PER with a concentration series of 0.1%, 0.3%, 1%, 3%, 10% and 30% sucrose solution. Desensitization with water was done between each sucrose concentration. The number of

<p>The most differentially expressed genes between uninfected and infected bees were classified into three groups according to their transcriptional/post-transcriptional regulation. The first two groups included genes involved in the innate immune response. These genes did not show any evidence of different isoforms and/or post-transcriptional regulation. Examples of these groups include:
<italic>GB48966</italic>
, a
<italic>homeotic protein caudal</italic>
, which operates post-embryonically in the intestine where it regulates antimicrobial peptide levels to maintain the normal gut flora [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
];
<italic>GB51833</italic>
,
<italic>Sodium dependent nutrient amino acid trasporter</italic>
, which contributes to the synthesis of catecholamines for sclerotization pathways involved incuticle colour, wound curing, and immune responses [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
].</p>
<p>Post transcriptional regulation is responsible for expanding protein functional diversity and differs dependent on environmental conditions and developmental stage to expand phenotypic plasticity on the molecular level [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
]. However, the selection of the incorrect splices sites may cause gene dysfunction [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
]. The genes in these first two groups may be under strong selection pressure to prevent the emergence of new isoforms or alternative transcriptional regulation to avoid loss of function.</p>
<p>
<italic>N</italic>

<italic>ceranae</italic>
is amitochondriate, and so has high dependency on host ATP. The energy demands of the parasite increase the energy requirement for the bee, which is seen in the increased hunger of infected bees revealed by the PER test. GB41033, which is involved in the metabolism of the sugar, was highly expressed in infected bees, and is consistent with increased sugar metabolism associated with the higher energy requirement [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
].
<italic>GB42217</italic>
,
<italic>acyl-CoA desaturase 1-like</italic>
, has a role in oxidation-reduction process following infection [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
].</p>
<p>The third group includes genes mainly regulate biochemical and developmental processes, and includes receptors such as serpentine (
<italic>GB45151</italic>
) that regulate the expression of multiple classes of developmental genes [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
], SLC6 (GB51834) that transport a whole suite of molecules across cell membranes [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
] and hedgehog (
<italic>GB45300</italic>
) which is required for normal regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation during embryonic stages [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
].</p>
<p>This third group genes includes immune function genes and shows abundant examples of alternative splicing. There are many examples where the immune system has been shown to use diverse mechanisms of gene regulation to increase the versatility of response, including alternative splicing, different TSS and promoter usage [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
], for example, in vertebrates alternative splicing of CD44, a protein involved in T cell homing, is crucial for T cell function [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
].The transcription factors p63, p73 and p53, implicated in cell response to stress and development, and encodes multiple proteins as a result of post transcriptional regulation [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
]. Diverse post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms seen for genes involved in bee immune response, cell signals and development may increase the immune repertoire to respond to infection.</p>
<p>Alternative promoter usage was found for 8 genes at days 5 and 10P.I in comparison with uninfected controls, but none were seen at day 15 P.I. This suggests that alternative promoter usage is important for bee-
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranae</italic>
interaction as seen in previous studies where differential promoter usage has been associated with the diversity of gene expression pattern to deal with different pathogen challenges [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
].That no alternative promoter usage was found at day 15 P.I and that a small number of differentially expressed genes is seen at this time point compared with time points 5 and 10 P.I. may suggest that the host and parasite are becoming adjusted to each other. It has been reported that genes with alternative promoters use are also more likely to be differentially expressed [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
]. Genes related to human cancer which have altered expression have on average 2 promoters compared with an average of 1.5 promoters for the other human genes [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
].</p>
<p>The overrepresentation of the splice variants, 30%-53% of genes between 5 and 10 days PI respectively of differentially expressed genes, seen following infection, suggests that extending protein diversity is important for bees to deal with the
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranea</italic>
infection. Therefore, start site and post-transcriptional regulation is potentially important for tuning the response of the bee to
<italic>N</italic>
.
<italic>ceranea</italic>
infection, possibly by controlling the strength and the duration of the response [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
]. This is in accordance with findings reported for Drosophila melanogaster [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
] and mammals [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
] where splice variants play an important role in dealing with infection. Interestingly, alternative TSSs have been associated with stable differences in behavior in honeybees [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
].</p>
<p>Genes involved in the “metabolic pathways” (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0173438.s005">S5 Table</xref>
) have higher expression at day 5 P.I than days 10 and 15 P.I. This suggests an increased energy demand placed on the bee by

which is shown by the genes GB53306, GB43825, GB51751, GB54097, GB55242, and GB42616in this pathway having increased levels of expression in infected bees. Lysosome has been implicated in antifungal and antiviral activity [

<p>Except SP36 and SPH42, all these genes showed alternative splicing and differential TSS (

<p>Therefore, in addition to placing additional energy demands on the host

<p>Honeybees have many immune pathways and defense mechanisms consisting of both cellular and humoral immune response [

<p>Two genes coding for the major components of pathogen recognition (PGRPs) were modulated in this study: peptidoglycan recognition protein S1 (

may also change the behavior of bees by altering olfactory acuity. Three genes coding for (
<italic>Obp14</italic>
,
<italic>Obp18</italic>
and
<italic>Obp3</italic>
), were down-regulated at day 5 P.I. compared with controls, two (

,
<italic>obp17</italic>
) at day 10 P.I and two (
<italic>obp14</italic>
,
<italic>obp3</italic>
) at day 15 P.I. The odor binding proteins are not restricted to olfaction and they have other functions, including the adaptation to different environments [

]. Changes in expression of odor binding proteins following

,
<italic>LOC724772</italic>
, leucine-rich repeat neuronal protein 3 (
<italic>LOC724187</italic>
), neuropeptide and neurotransmitter transporter 8, were modulated at day 5 P.I but not at days 10 and 15 P.I. Slitis part of a large network of genes involved in tissue regeneration and has been shown to be down regulated following infection by Nosema [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
]. Changes in expression of genes involved in neuronal development have also been reported following infestation with the Varroa mite [
<xref rid="pone.0173438.ref088" ref-type="bibr">88</xref>
].Therefore bee parasites may affect behavior either to enhance their survival or to promote the spread within the colony.</p>

infection are seen on expression of genes involved in three key processes:1) energetic stress which is reflected in elevated hunger levels, 2) the modulation of the metabolic pathways, particularly immune function and 3) changes in behavior mediated through altered olfactory or hygiene related gene expression. These observed changes could be associated with the host responding to clear the infection, and with the infecting
