摘要: Genome assemblies provide a powerful basis of comparative multi-omics analyses that offer insight into parasite pathogenicity, host-parasite interactions, and invasion biology. As a unique intracellular nematode, Trichinella consists of two clades, encapsulated and non-encapsulated. Genomic correlation of the distinct differences between the two clades is still unclear. Here, we report an annotated draft reference genome of non-encapsulated Trichinella, T. pseudospiralis, and perform comparative multi-omics analyses with encapsulated T. spiralis. Genome and methylome analyses indicate that, during Trichinella evolution, the two clades of Trichinella exhibit differential expansion and methylation of parasitism-related multi-copy gene families, especially for the DNase II members of the phospholipase D superfamily and Glutathione S-transferases. Further, methylome and transcriptome analyses revealed divergent key excretory/secretory (E/S) genes between the two clades. Among these key E/S genes, TP12446 is significantly more expressed across three life stages in T. pseudospiralis. Overexpression of TP12446 in the mouse C2C12 skeletal muscle cell line could induce inhibition of myotube formation and differentiation, further indicating its key role in parasitism of T. pseudospiralis. This multi-omics study provides a foundation for further elucidation of the mechanism of nurse cell formation and immunoevasion, as well as the identification of pharmacological and diagnostic targets of trichinellosis. Xiaolei Liu, Yayan Feng, et al. report an annotated draft reference genome of the non-encapsulated Trichinella pseudospiralis, and perform comparative multi-omics analyses with encapsulated T. spiralis. Overexpression of TP12446, a key excretory/secretory gene, in a mouse C2C12 skeletal muscle cell line could induce inhibition of myotube formation and differentiation. These results provide insight into the mechanism of nurse cell formation and immunoevasion, as well as the identification of potential pharmacological and diagnostic targets for trichinellosis.
