In the case of parasites, host switching also plays a prominent role in the evolutionary process. These changes are rooted in genetic variation and gene flow where genes may be deleted, mutated (sequence), duplicated, rearranged and/or translocated and then transmitted through vertical gene transfer. However, the introduction of new genes is not driven only by Mendelian inheritance and mutation but also by the introduction of DNA from outside a lineage in the form of horizontal gene transfer between donor and recipient organisms. Once introduced and integrated into the biology of the recipient, vertical inheritance then perpetuates the newly acquired genetic factor, where further functionality may involve co-option of what has become a pre-existing physiological capacity. Upon sequencing the <em>Trichinella spiralis</em> (Clade I) genome, a cyanate hydratase (cyanase) gene was identified that is common among bacteria, fungi, and plants, but rarely observed among other eukaryotes. The sequence of the <em>Trichinella</em> cyanase gene clusters with those derived from the Kingdom Plantae in contrast to the genes found in some Clade III and IV nematodes that cluster with cyanases of bacterial origin. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the <em>Trichinella</em> cyanase was acquired during the Devonian period and independently from those of other nematodes. These data may help inform us of the deep evolutionary history and ecological connectivity of early ancestors within the lineage of contemporary <em>Trichinella</em>. Further, in many extant organisms, cyanate detoxification has been largely superseded by energy requirements for metabolism. Thus, deciphering the function of <em>Trichinella</em> cyanase may provide new avenues for treatment and control.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37941,"journal":{"name":"Food and Waterborne Parasitology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405676622000129/pdfft?md5=15deba4f5bbda42a49c4ced29c078991&pid=1-s2.0-S2405676622000129-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46463546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some advances achieved recently revealed that the infection by <em>Cryptosporidium parvum</em> induces cytoskeleton remodeling and actin reorganization through the implication of several intracellular signals involving, for example, PI3K, Src, Cdc42 and GTPases. It has also been reported that the infection by <em>C. parvum</em> leads to the activation of NF-κβ, known to induce anti-apoptotic mechanisms and to transmit oncogenic signals to epithelial cells. Despite the growing evidence about the hijacking of cellular pathways, potentially being involved in cancer onset, this information has rarely been linked to the tumorigenic potential of the parasite. However, several evidences support an association between <em>Cryptosporidium</em> infection and the development of digestive neoplasia. To explore the dynamics of <em>Cryptosporidium</em> infection, an animal model of cryptosporidiosis using corticoid dexamethasone-treated adult SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice, orally infected with <em>C. parvum</em> or <em>Cryptosporidium muris</em> oocysts was implemented. <em>C. parvum</em>-infected animals developed digestive adenocarcinoma. When mechanisms involved in this neoplastic process were explored, the pivotal role of the Wnt pathway together with the alteration of the cytoskeleton was confirmed. Recently, a microarray assay allowed the detection of cancer-promoting genes and pathways highly up regulated in the group of <em>C. parvum</em> infected animals when compared to non-infected controls. Moreover, different human cases/control studies reported significant higher prevalence of <em>Cryptosporidium</em> infection among patients with recently diagnosed colon cancer before any treatment when compared to the control group (patients without colon neoplasia but with persistent digestive symptoms). These results suggest that <em>Cryptosporidium</em> is a potential oncogenic agent involved in cancer development beyond the usual suspects.

Transmission occurs by the fecal-oral route following ingestion of thick-walled oocysts that can contaminate, persist, and resist disinfection in water and food. Sodium hypochlorite, peroxides, ozone, formaldehyde, and ammonia are suitable disinfectants against <em>Cryptosporidium</em> oocysts. Effective concentrations of these chemicals can be toxic and not practical for downstream research use of non-viable oocysts. Oocyst inactivation approaches such as UV light, heat, and treatments with ethanol or methanol are generally more accessible for routine lab use, yet their applicability in <em>Cryptosporidium</em> assay development is limited. The aims of this study were to evaluate methods of inactivation of <em>Cryptosporidium</em> oocysts that can be readily applied in the laboratory and test the utility of whole inactive oocysts in quantitative PCR (qPCR). Experiments were performed on <em>C. parvum</em> oocysts subjected to heat (75 °C/10 min) or treated with increasing concentrations of ethanol and methanol over time. Viability assays based on propidium iodide (PI) staining, <em>in vitro</em> excystation, and infection of the Hct-8 cell line were used to evaluate the efficacies of the treatments. Excystation of sporozoites was not impaired with 24 h exposures of oocysts to 50% ethanol or methanol, even though significant PI incorporation was observed. Concentrations of ≥70% of these chemicals were required to completely inhibit excystation and infection of Hct-8 cells <em>in vitro</em>. Inactivated oocysts stored for up to 30 days at 4 °C retained cyst wall integrity and antigenicity as observed by light microscopy and immunofluorescence. Moreover, non-viable oocysts applied directly in qPCR assays of the COWP gene were useful reference reagents for the identification and quantification of <em>Cryptosporidium</em> in spiked water samples. In summary, we have established a practical approach to inactivate <em>C. parvum</em> oocysts in the laboratory that is suitable for the development of detection or diagnostic assays targeting the parasite.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37941,"journal":{"name":"Food and Waterborne Parasitology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f5/25/main.PMC9249555.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40567124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
