FUNGAL AND PARASITIC INFECTIONSLocalization and RNA Interference-Driven Inhibition of a Brugia malayi-Encoded Interleukin-5 Receptor Binding ProteinRojelio Mejia,a Sasisekhar Bennuru,a Yelena Oksov,b Sara Lustigman,b Gnanasekar Munirathinam,c Ramaswamy Kalyanasundaram,c Thomas B. NutmanaaLaboratory of Parasitic Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Illnesses, Bethesda, Maryland, USA Lindsay F. Kimball Investigation Institute, New York Blood Center, New York, New York, USA Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Illinois, Rockford, Illinois, USAb cA molecule we termed Brugia malayi IL-5 receptor (IL-5R) binding protein (BmIL5Rbp; also referred to as Bm8757) was identified from B. malayi filarial worms and found to inhibit human interleukin-5 (IL-5) binding to its human receptor competitively. Following the expression and purification of a recombinant BmIL5Rbp and generation of BmIL5Rbp-specific rabbit antibody, we localized the molecule on B. malayi worms via immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy. RNA interference (RNAi) was utilized to inhibit BmIL5Rbp mRNA and protein production. BmIL5Rbp was shown to localize for the cuticle of Brugia malayi and to become released in its excretory/secretory items. RNAi inhibited BmIL5Rbp mRNA production by 33 , reduced the surface protein expression by ;50 , and suppressed the release of BmIL5Rbp within the excretory/secretory solutions. RNAi has been applied effectively to knock down the mRNA and protein expression of BmIL5Rbp in the early larval stages of B. malayi and offered a proof of principle for the local inhibition from the human IL-5R.Alpha-Fetoprotein Protein Formulation These findings give proof that a parasite-encoded IL-5R antagonist may well locally inhibit a crucial host innate immune activation of IL-5 on eosinophils.SPARC, Human (HEK293, His) ABSTRACT Keyword phrases Brugia malayi, RNAi, host-parasite defense, interleukin-Filarial parasites are vector-borne nematodes which might be accountable for .PMID:25046520 200 million infections, the most pathogenic of that are caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi (two with the causative agents of lymphatic filariasis), Onchocerca volvulus (the causative agent of onchocerciasis, or “river blindness”), and Loa (the causative agent of loiasis, or “the Africa eye worm”). The vectors for Brugia malayi would be the mosquitos in the Mansonia and Aedes species. Infection occurs when larvae within the third stage (L3) are introduced into the skin, after which they migrate by means of the dermis into either deep or superficial lymphatics, exactly where they continue their improvement.
