Abstract
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 involved. Here, we conducted a dual RNA-seq time course analysis of filarial worm 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 development of infective-stage larva.
Using the
The data presented herein provide the research community with information to design wet lab experiments and select candidates for future study to more fully dissect the whole set of molecular interactions of both organisms in this mosquito-filarial worm symbiotic relationship. Furthermore, characterization of the transcriptional program over the complete life cycle of the parasite, including stages within the mosquito, could help devise novel targets for control strategies.

However, due to experimental limitations, molecular studies of parasite-host systems have been predominantly one-sided investigations focusing on either of the partners involved. Here, we conducted a dual RNA-seq time course analysis of filarial worm 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 development of infective-stage larva.</p></sec><sec><title>Methodology/Principal Findings</title><p>Using the <italic>Brugia malayi</italic>–<italic>Aedes aegypti</italic> system, we report parasite gene transcription dynamics, which exhibited a highly ordered developmental program consisting of a series of cyclical and state-transitioning temporal patterns.

Previous studies examining host-parasite systems have examined the effects of the genotype of the host or the parasite on the relationship, but due to limitations of technology, have rarely examined interactions between the two genotypes. Here, we utilized a dual RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) approach to examine the entirety of the known transcriptomes and their interactions in the dynamic process of filarial worm development in the mosquito. In addition, the unprecedented sequencing depth achieved with this technology allowed us to compare, for the first time, parasite gene expression of larval developmental stages within the intermediate host with those life cycle stages found within the mammalian definitive host. These data provide a strong foundation for understanding how <italic>Brugia malayi</italic> interacts with its vector's transcriptome temporally during its complex life cycle and also simultaneously provides information on how <italic>Aedes aegypti</italic> responds to filarial worm infection. These data are extremely valuable for future studies of the underlying mechanisms of this mosquito-filarial worm relationship.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>Financial support for this study was provided by National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant # AI019769.

LF results from infection with several species of mosquito-borne filarial nematodes, including <italic>Wuchereria bancrofti</italic>, <italic>Brugia malayi</italic>, or <italic>Brugia timori</italic>; but <italic>W. bancrofti</italic> is responsible for 90% of LF infections worldwide. Mosquitoes belonging to a number of different genera, including <italic>Culex</italic>, <italic>Aedes</italic>, <italic>Mansonia</italic>, <italic>Anopheles</italic>, and <italic>Armigeres</italic>, can serve as competent vectors. In susceptible mosquitoes, ingested microfilariae (mf) traverse the midgut epithelium and migrate to the indirect flight muscles. Migration to the head and proboscis occurs after a series of larval molts to the infective third stage (L3), which occurs in thoracic muscle cells. The L3 is then passed to the vertebrate host when the infected mosquito takes a bloodmeal <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Aliota1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Erickson1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>.</p><p>The ability of certain mosquito species to ingest mf of filarial worm parasites and to support their development after ingestion is an important determinant of filarial parasite transmission <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Erickson2" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>. Interactions between mosquitoes and filarial worms can range from an almost benign commensal relationship between organisms <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Aliota1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>, to a fatal competition resulting in death of the host <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Chellappah1" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>, or to a fatal competition resulting in death of the parasite <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Yamamoto1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>. Larval development within individual flight muscle cells therefore implies a highly intimate interaction between host and parasite, and often times the number of L3s developing from ingested mf is not constant <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Aliota1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Pichon1" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Bartholomay1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>. For mf to successfully reach the L3 stage, host tissue must provide all of the nutritional needs of the rapidly growing nematodes, while simultaneously surviving the mechanical damage caused by nematode migration and development. As a result, infection processes accompany histological changes in host muscle fibers, ranging from depletion of glycogen granules to swelling and disintegration of nuclei or mitochondria (likely altering the metabolism of these organelles) to a complete cellular degeneration following the exit of L3s <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Beckett1" ref-type="bibr">[10]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Beckett2" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>.</p><p>It is well accepted that the study of inter-species interactions are fundamental to understanding the biology of vector-borne parasites <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Matthews1" ref-type="bibr">[12]</xref>–<xref rid="pntd.0002905-Castillo1" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>, and the filarial worms that cause LF are no exception. In humans, the interactions these parasites engage in with host tissue and the immune system dictate the pathobiology of LF <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Pfarr1" ref-type="bibr">[15]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Bennuru1" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>. And as mentioned, the interactions between filarial worms and their mosquito intermediate hosts determine the course of parasite development to the infective-stage. Previous efforts to understand factors that influence the developmental success of filarial worms in their mosquito vectors have led to a deeper appreciation of the complexity of the parasite-host interplay (e.g., <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Aliota1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Erickson1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Aliota2" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>); however, the inability to make quantitative, molecular-level observations of the parasite and the host, simultaneously, during infection continues to limit our ability to develop a coherent understanding of the fine-grained details mediating filarial worm-mosquito interactions. Past studies have been essentially one-sided investigations focusing on either of the partners. And, most have focused on host factors while failing to take parasite activity into explicit consideration. As a consequence, filarial worm molecular processes underlying development in, and interaction with, the mosquito host tissue remain poorly described. By its very nature, parasite biology cannot be understood without integrating it with that of the host, nor can the host response be adequately explained without considering parasite activity.</p><p>Accordingly, we initiated transcriptome profiling studies to assess the whole set of molecular interactions of both organisms involved in the dynamic symbiotic processes of filarial worm development in the mosquito. Advances in sequencing-based approaches to quantitative transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) facilitated direct, integrated analysis of mixed-species samples obtained from <italic>in vivo</italic> infections <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Westermann1" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>, in which host tissue samples often contained minute quantities of parasite material. With the increase in sequencing depth, RNA-seq offered improved levels of sensitivity and dynamic range of detection, without the need of predefined species-specific probes (or selective amplification of parasite RNA) and reliance on hybridization of targeted oligonucleotides (e.g., northern blotting, RT-PCR and microarrays). Here, we present a time-resolved dual RNA-seq analysis of <italic>B. malayi</italic>-<italic>Aedes aegypti</italic> interactions, which investigated the temporal organization of transcriptional events in both nematode and mosquito tissue from the establishment of infection to after infective-stage parasites had completed development in the mosquito. We report that parasite gene transcription dynamics exhibited a highly ordered developmental program consisting of a series of cyclical and state-transitioning temporal patterns, and we contextualized this parasite developmental program in relation to the concurrent dynamics of the host tissue transcriptome. Furthermore, we critically evaluated parasite gene expression changes during the heteroxenous life-cycle of <italic>B. malayi</italic> by comparing mRNA abundance in larval stages within the intermediate host relative to developmental stages within the mammalian definitive host in order to provide information on the transcriptomic features underpinning the mosquito-borne parasitic lifestyle.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods" id="s2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="s2a"><title>Ethics statement</title><p>This study was carried out in strict accordance with recommendations set forth in the National Institutes of Health <italic>Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals</italic>.

To identify parasite and host genes that were differentially transcribed between any of the time points (within each time-series), we used nested interaction models, and conducted an ANOVA-like test for any differences by testing for multiple coefficients being equal to zero. Using full interaction models, we then assessed host genes that responded differently at any of the time points in the infected host relative to the uninfected host. Similarly, we tested parasite genes for differential transcription at any of the time points in the susceptible host (LVP) relative to the refractory host (RED).

RNA-seq expression profiles of <italic>B. malayi</italic> indicated that, between days one and two, transcriptional induction was prominent among gene clusters P1, P5 and P6 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>). GO categories associated with glycolysis, mitochondrial hydrogen-transporting ATP synthase, signal peptidase complex, DNA replication, and phosphoric diester hydrolase activity were overrepresented in these clusters. These data suggest that filarial worms respond transcriptionally to their changing metabolic and energy needs in the intracellular environment of their new host during re-initiation of larval development. Induction of genes involved in DNA replication likely is important for supporting increased cell division required for tissue differentiation. During this period, a decreasing trend was observed in clusters P13 and P14, and in the latter group, the pattern extended to day three. Genes with nucleic acid or zinc ion binding activity were highly represented in these clusters, many of which are C2H2-type zinc finger proteins that may serve as <italic>trans</italic> regulators of gene expression <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Razin1" ref-type="bibr">[45]</xref>.</p><p>In the mosquito host, a proportion of both parasitized and non-parasitized muscle fibers show signs of structural abnormality. Within the first two days after infection, nuclear and mitochondrial enlargement occurs, and the number of affected fibers, the proportion of organelles involved, and the degree of damage progressively increases as larval development proceeds. Although the proportion is very low, severe damage and cellular degeneration, likely caused by migrating mf, also appear early in infection, but without a progression in the number of affected fibers (see <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Beckett2" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>). The mosquito host response profile, representing transcript levels of infected animals relative to the uninfected controls, indicated that gene clusters HR1 and HR2 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>), containing groups of stress response genes, such as small heat shock proteins with alpha-crystallin domains, displayed impulse-like patterns with acute dynamics during early infection. The distinct temporal pattern of induction among these genes, peaking at days one, six and eight, suggested a close link between the kinetics of the transcriptional response and the degree of cellular damage and mechanical disruption the host experiences as parasites penetrate into and out of muscle fiber, or actively ingest host cell contents.</p><p>Middle to late L1 development, from day three to the first molt that occurs between day four and five, is characterized by numerous mitotic divisions, lengthening of the body, and differentiation of internal structures, including a well-defined intestine and a divided-type esophagus (the anterior region muscular, the posterior glandular) that is formed around the pharyngeal thread of the mf <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Laurence1" ref-type="bibr">[46]</xref>. <italic>B. malayi</italic> gene clusters P7 and P8 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>), enriched with genes implicated in ion channel activity and transmembrane transport, exhibited transcriptional increase between days two and four, and their abundance levels were maintained on subsequent days. In addition, transient transcription increases were observed among clusters P2, P3 and P9 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>), in which GO categories involved in calcium ion binding, response to stress, serpin activity, cuticle, metallopeptidase and steroid hormone receptor activity were overrepresented. Interestingly, these clusters showed a second peak during second stage larvae (L2) development, forming a cyclical pattern with respect to molting events. By filtering on the direction (increase or decrease) and magnitude of transcript abundance changes over time points, we identified genes showing strong periodic patterns where transcript levels oscillated between high levels during intermolt periods and low levels during ecdysis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4B</xref>). Given our sampling rate, we could discern three groups with distinct kinetics, reaching their maximum levels at different times (C1–3).</p><p>Genes with pulsatile transcription dynamics identified in the present study included a number of structural and regulatory components (such as cuticular collagens, cuticle-digesting proteases and nuclear receptor transcription factors) that have been predicted to participate in various aspects of the molting process <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Frand1" ref-type="bibr">[42]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Ghedin1" ref-type="bibr">[47]</xref>. <italic>B. malayi</italic>, like all nematodes, progresses through its life stages via molts, each of which involves synthesis and secretion of a new cuticle, followed by separation and shedding of the old cuticle. From intracellular signaling to extracellular execution, molting requires a series of complex molecular reactions under tight spatiotemporal regulation at the level of the hypodermis. Also, equally critical to successful molting is a precise coordination of tissue development throughout the animal <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Monsalve1" ref-type="bibr">[48]</xref>.

These expression changes, extending mostly over the six to seven day period, likely reflect long-term chronic effects of filarial worm infection, part of which may represent a compensatory host response to energy and nutrient imbalances caused by intracellular parasite development. Overrepresented GO terms in this cluster included oxidoreductase activity, purine nucleotide binding, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity, cAMP biosynthesis process, and gluconeogenesis. Because parasite-host interactions inherently involve two interconnected biological systems with a net flow of energy and nutrients, a metabolic perturbation likely is inevitable in the host <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Kafsack1" ref-type="bibr">[49]</xref>. It has been reported that in <italic>Ae. aegypti</italic>, filarial worm-infected muscle fibers show a large decrease in the amount of glycogen granules <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Lehane1" ref-type="bibr">[44]</xref>, and our data point to a transcriptional induction in the pathway of gluconeogenesis, by which cells synthesize glucose from metabolic precursors, such as glycogen. Data further suggest that this shift in metabolic state likely involved regulation at the level of cAMP synthesis and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity, the latter of which controls a rate-limiting step of the pathway. Another notable feature of the infected host tissue transcriptome was the observed expression changes in glutathione transferase and glutathione peroxidase, whose main functions are to inactivate toxic products of oxygen metabolism. Induction of these antioxidative enzymes could be functioning to enhance protection from oxidative damage, or alternatively, this also may change the redox state of the host cell environment to favor parasite survival <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Ranson1" ref-type="bibr">[50]</xref>.</p></sec><sec id="s3d"><title>Gene transcription dynamics from L2 to L3</title><p>By day five, the first molt is complete, which marks the transition between L1 and L2.

The lumen of the rectum is then formed within the anal vesicle just before the molt to the third stage <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Laurence1" ref-type="bibr">[46]</xref>.

During the middle to late L2 stage, the body wall consists of cuticle, chords (differentiated small dorso-ventral chords and broad lateral chords) and muscle components. A slight loosening of the cuticle at the head and tail is typically observed at day seven. By day eight, most larvae have either completed the second molt or are in the process of molting. Within a day or two, L3 migrate from the thoracic muscles through the head to the labium of the proboscis, from which they exit the mosquito during blood-feeding to infect the mammalian host. During L2 development in <italic>B. malayi</italic>, a diverse set of genes in clusters P2, P3 and P9, with oscillatory expression patterns, exhibited their second peak of transcription (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>). Clusters P4, P10 and P11, on the other hand, showed state-transitioning patterns with transcriptional induction between days five and seven. These likely represent specific processes that were initiated during the L2 developmental period. Overrepresented GO categories in these clusters included cysteine-type peptidase activity, structural constituent of cuticle and glycolysis. Subsequently, between days seven and eight, transcript levels increased in cluster P12, in which gene sets associated with cuticle components, transmembrane transport and chloride transport were enriched. Together, these clusters encompassed a large array of functional categories, as well as genes with unknown function. Although the magnitude of change was comparatively small, clusters P15 and P16 showed a decreasing trend over the period of L2 development (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g004">Figure 4A</xref>). Enrichment of genes implicated in ribosome, translation and nucleic acid binding in these clusters suggested that genes involved in basal cellular activity were expressed in lower levels during late L2 and L3 compared to those at earlier stages (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g005">Figure 5</xref>). Overall, these data suggest a considerable change in the organism's transcript composition and a relatively uneven distribution of transcript abundances (as supported by the decrease in Shannon Diversity Index <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Martnez1" ref-type="bibr">[54]</xref> between days six and eight; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g007">Figure 7</xref>) in the second stage during which high levels of cellular differentiation and tissue development occur.

In <italic>Caenorhabditis elegans</italic>, a mutation in β-spectrin resulted in retarded growth and paralysis, suggesting that it is required for normal nematode development <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Hammarlund1" ref-type="bibr">[59]</xref>. Of particular interest is the presence of putative transcriptional regulators in this list, such as nuclear hormone receptor and C2H2 type Zinc finger protein <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Wilson1" ref-type="bibr">[60]</xref>. Although their specific function in <italic>B. malayi</italic> has not been elucidated, these could be involved in the control of key developmental pathways that are initiated during early larval development in the mosquito. Among the transcripts that showed an increasing trend in non-developing or dying worms, was a calpain gene that encodes a member of the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent cysteine protease family. Calpain activation is an integral component of necrosis, and has been implicated in apoptotic cell death <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Golstein1" ref-type="bibr">[61]</xref>, which is consistent with the refractory host environment of the RED strain preventing filarial worm development, and the resultant death of the parasite (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pntd-0002905-t001">Table 1</xref>). However, because of the extensively divergent genetic backgrounds between RED and LVP, the host genetic factors that confer this lethal environment could not be reasonably inferred from the between-strain differences in the host tissue transcriptome.</p><fig id="pntd-0002905-g008" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pntd.0002905.g008</object-id><label>Figure 8</label><caption><title>Functional composition of parasite transcripts that were different during infection of susceptible vs. refractory mosquitoes.</title><p><italic>Brugia malayi</italic> genes showing time dependent transcriptional changes (relative to day one) that are different during infection of <italic>Aedes aegypti</italic> LVP with respect to RED (i.e., log fold-change during infection of LVP – log fold-change during infection of RED). *Putative transcription factors predicted by DBD database <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Wilson1" ref-type="bibr">[60]</xref>.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="pntd.0002905.g008"></graphic></fig></sec><sec id="s3f"><title>Mosquito-stage transcriptome of <italic>B. malayi</italic></title><p>To further investigate the transcriptomic features of this heteroxenous parasite in the context of host transitions, we extended our analysis to include our previously reported RNA-seq profiles (see <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Choi1" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>) and comparatively analyzed the mosquito stages (L1, L2, and L3) relative to the mammalian stages (egg, microfilaria, L4, adult male, and adult female). To facilitate this comparison, read count data from individual libraries were combined per stage to construct expression profiles enriched for (or representative of) each life-cycle stages (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g009">Figure 9A</xref>). Sample relations based on multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) revealed a biologically plausible pattern where expression profiles of successive stages were overall more similar to each other. From these profiles, genes differentially transcribed in the mosquito stages relative to the mammalian stages were identified (p<0.01). Of the 413 significant genes, 200 genes displayed transcriptional induction predominantly during the mosquito stages (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pntd-0002905-g009">Figure 9B</xref>). Overrepresented among these genes were GO terms, such as proteolysis, cell adhesion, oxidation-reduction process, and malate metabolic process, as well as several Molecular Function terms that appear consistent with the above-mentioned Biological Process terms (p<0.01; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pntd.0002905.s001">Dataset S1</xref>). Peptidases and peptidase inhibitors, including cathepsins, serpins and cystatins were also strongly represented, which was in agreement with previous studies giving support to their possible role in essential developmental processes or specific interactions with the host <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Song1" ref-type="bibr">[62]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Gregory1" ref-type="bibr">[63]</xref>.

A closer look at individual metabolic genes indicated a highly specific induction among the key components of anaerobic mitochondrial pathways, such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GenBank:Bm1_25195), malic enzyme/malate dehydrogenase (GenBank:Bm1_04060, GenBank:Bm1_08150, GenBank:Bm1_46465, GenBank:Bm1_53540), and pyruvate dehydrogenase (GenBank:Bm1_26945) <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Khler1" ref-type="bibr">[64]</xref>, <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Behm1" ref-type="bibr">[65]</xref>. Adult filarial worms are homolactate fermenters that primarily produce lactate via cytosolic pathways when glucose is in excess <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Barrett1" ref-type="bibr">[66]</xref>. Our data suggested that anaerobic mitochondrial metabolism involving malate dismutation is likely activated during parasite development in the mosquito, increasing the total yield of ATP per mole of glucose metabolized. A developmental regulation in energy metabolism as such could represent an important adaptive strategy for survival when glucose concentrations become limiting in the host milieu <xref rid="pntd.0002905-Barrett2" ref-type="bibr">[67]</xref>.
