摘要:

为揭示不同种和不同宿主来源的巴尔通体(Bartonella spp.)转录水平差异及其对进化关系的影响,本研究以来自4种巴尔通体种(汉赛巴尔通体、科勒巴尔通体、克氏巴尔通体和五日热巴尔通体)和3种宿主(家猫、猕猴和人)的共27株巴尔通体菌株为研究对象,利用Illumina高通量测序技术进行转录组测序,分析不同种和不同宿主来源菌株间的基因表达差异,并比较转录组与基因组水平的系统发育分析结果的异同。结果表明,不同种和不同宿主来源的巴尔通体菌株间的基因转录水平存在明显差异,并筛选到12个可能与宿主特异性识别相关的基因(virB10bepCvirB4等);此外,转录组核心基因(core genes)的核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism, SNPs)位点序列的系统发育树显示菌株呈明显的物种聚集性。通过进一步分析发现,宿主因素对巴尔通体遗传分化具有一定的作用,而地理因素对巴尔通体遗传分化的作用相对较小,与基因组核心基因SNPs位点序列的系统发育分析结果一致。本研究通过差异转录组分析揭示了巴尔通体物种间的遗传分化和系统发育关系,发现不同种和不同宿主来源的菌株间存在规律性差异。这些差异与传统基因组分析结果一致,表明转录组数据可有效用于物种间的遗传分化研究。

Abstract:

To reveal the differences in transcript levels of Bartonella spp. from different species and hosts and their impacts on phylogenetic relationships, we focus on 27 strains from four Bartonella species (B. henselae, B. koehlerae, B. clarridgeiae and B. quintana) and three hosts (Felis catus, Homo sapiens and Macaca mulatta) to conduct the transcriptome sequencing using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Gene expression differences between strains from different species and hosts are analyzed, and the results of phylogenetic analysis at the transcriptome and genome levels are compared. The results show significant differences in gene transcription between strains from different species and hosts. Twelve genes are screened, including virB10, bepC and virB4, which may facilitate host-specific recognition. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis based on SNPs within the core genes of the transcriptome demonstrate species-specific clustering patterns among strains. Further analysis indicate that host factors influence the genetic divergence of strains, while geographic factors exert a small impact on this process. These findings are congruent with the phylogenetic analysis of SNPs in the core genes of the genome. Our study uses differential transcriptome analysis to reveal the genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships of Bartonella species. And the observed regular differences between strains from different species and hosts are found to correspond with the results of traditional genome analysis. Thus, our results indicate the utility of transcriptome data in efficiently investigating the genetic divergence between species.
