Spatial expression pattern of serine proteases in the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni determined by fluorescence RNA in situ hybridization

Abstract: Background The blood flukes of genus Schistosoma are the causative agent of schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease that infects more than 200 million people worldwide. Proteases of schistosomes are involved in critical steps of host–parasite interactions and are promising therapeutic targets. We recently identified and characterized a group of S1 family Schistosoma mansoni serine proteases, including SmSP1 to SmSP5. Expression levels of some SmSPs in S. mansoni are low, and by standard genome seq… Show more

“…In the case of F. hepatica, the sections were treated with proteinase K (final concentration 2 µg/ml, Roche) for 5 min at 37 °C. Hybridization was performed for 16 h at 42 °C (S. mansoni) and 55 °C (F. hepatica) with RNA probes diluted to 1:200 in a hybridization mixture (5 × SSC, 1 × PBS, 0.1% Torula yeast RNA (Sigma-Aldrich), 50% formamide, 10% dextran sulfate molecular weight 4000 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% Tween 20) according to the modified protocols [45,46]. After hybridization, slides were washed and incubated in blocking solution as described [45,46].…”

“…In situ hybridization (ISH) techniques have been developed for the characterization of host–parasite interactions in human-infective schistosomes. 17 RNAscope is an RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) technology compatible with FFPE tissues. 1,11,18 Our objective was to investigate whether RNAscope could serve as a useful tool to identify H. americana ova in histologic samples.…”
