项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A long standing question in the field of vector biology is how pathogens gain access from the midgut of an insect vector to other organs in the hemocoel, bypassing cellular and non-cellular barriers as well as host defense mechanisms. Although different pathogens may have devised alternative methods to reach other tissues, all are faced with the same barriers. We propose to characterize a growth factor signaling mechanism used by an insect pathogen that can be applicable to pathogens such as malaria parasites and vector-borne viruses. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a large family of polypeptide growth factors widespread in multicellular organisms and are key regulators in cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and cell motility. In Drosophila, a single fgf, branchless, regulates tracheal cell motility, determining the pattern of its branches. Baculoviruses are large DNA-containing viruses that, similar to other eukaryotic viruses, encode genes that affect the development of their host. Most baculoviruses encode an fgf homolog, vfgf, with similar biochemical properties to the cellular homologs, however, the role of vfgf during virus infection is unknown. The specific mechanism used by baculoviruses to spread infection beyond the primary site of infection, midgut epithelial cells, has not been defined in detail, but tracheolar cells have been implicated as conduits for virus propagation beyond the midgut. We hypothesize that the virus utilizes vfgf to stimulate motility of uninfected tracheolar cells to spread infection systemically. We will characterize a vfgf-knockout baculovirus in insect hosts. Specifically, (1) the infectivity and virulence of vfgf- knockout and vfgf-overexpressing viruses will be determined using 4 insect species at different developmental stages; and (2) we will determine the mechanisms by which baculoviruses traverse the midgut barrier by examining the effect of vFGF on motility and morphology of tracheolar cells servicing the midgut using scanning confocal and transmission electron microscopy. We expect that our results will contribute valuable information to pathogen-vector interactions and pathogenesis. Many insect-vectored pathogens carry human and animal diseases. The specific mechanisms of how the pathogens travel from the insect midgut to the other tissues enabling their transmission are not known. The proposed studies will determine the mechanism used by an insect pathogen to move through its host, develop tools to study other insect pathogens, and in the long run, lead to the development of new strategies to control human pathogen transmission.
描述(由申请人提供):媒介生物学领域一个长期存在的问题是病原体如何从昆虫媒介的中肠进入血液中的其他器官,绕过细胞和非细胞屏障以及宿主防御机制。尽管不同的病原体可能已经设计出了到达其他组织的替代方法,但它们都面临着同样的障碍。我们提出表征昆虫病原体使用的生长因子信号机制,可以适用于病原体,如疟疾寄生虫和媒介传播的病毒。成纤维细胞生长因子(FGFs)是广泛存在于多细胞生物中的一大多肽生长因子家族,是细胞分化、细胞增殖和细胞运动的关键调节因子。在果蝇中,一个单一的fgf,无分支,调节气管细胞的运动,决定其分支的模式。杆状病毒是含dna的大型病毒,与其他真核病毒类似,它们编码影响宿主发育的基因。大多数杆状病毒编码fgf同源物vfgf,其生化特性与细胞同源物相似,然而,vfgf在病毒感染过程中的作用尚不清楚。杆状病毒将感染传播到原发感染部位(中肠上皮细胞)之外的具体机制尚未得到详细定义,但管状细胞被认为是病毒在中肠以外传播的管道。我们假设病毒利用vfgf刺激未感染的气管细胞的运动性以全身传播感染。我们将在昆虫宿主中描述一种vfgf敲除杆状病毒。具体而言,(1)利用4种不同发育阶段的昆虫来测定vfgf敲除病毒和过表达vfgf病毒的传染性和毒力;(2)我们将利用扫描共聚焦和透射电子显微镜检查vFGF对服务于中肠的气管管细胞的运动和形态的影响,从而确定杆状病毒穿越中肠屏障的机制。我们期望我们的结果将为病原体-载体相互作用和发病机制提供有价值的信息。许多虫媒病原体携带人类和动物疾病。病原体如何从昆虫中肠传播到使其传播的其他组织的具体机制尚不清楚。拟议的研究将确定昆虫病原体在其宿主中移动的机制,开发研究其他昆虫病原体的工具,并从长远来看,导致开发控制人类病原体传播的新策略。
