RESUMEN

Biomphalaria spp. snails are intermediary hosts of Schistosoma mansoni, etiologic agent of intestinal schistosomiasis, one of the most important neglected tropical diseases. Biomphalaria straminea is an important intermediary host that possess a different phenotype to parasite infection but shows a large geographic distribution and high capacity of new ecologic niche invasion. Our purpose was to characterize for the first time the differentially expressed proteome in B. straminea during two times intervals after primary and secondary exposure to S. mansoni. The hemolymph was collected at 1 and 15 days after primary and secondary exposure of snails to the parasite. Total proteins were extracted and digested with trypsin. LC-MS/MS label-free quantification was performed and analyzed using Maxquant and Perseus software. Proteins were identified and annotated using Blast2GO tools. After 1 day of exposure, most of upregulated proteins are hemoglobin type 2, C and H type lectins, molecules related to cell adhesion, and response to oxidative stress. After 15 days, we found a similar pattern of upregulated proteins but some fibrinogen-related proteins (FREPs) and TEPs homologs were downregulated. Regarding the differentially expressed proteins during secondary response, the principal immune-related proteins upregulated were C and H type lectins, cellular adhesion molecules, biomphalysin, and FREP3. We noted a several upregulated biological processes during both responses that could be the one of the key points of efficacy in the immune response to parasite. Our data suggests different immune mechanisms used by B. straminea snails challenged with S. mansoni.

RESUMEN

For many years, the immune response of invertebrates was considered to lack any mechanism of memory. However, the study of their response has shown a kind of acquired immunity, which is not so well understood given the lack of knowledge of the invertebrate defense system. This event can be called "innate immune memory." Recent studies using Biomphalaria glabrata snails have reported this phenomenon, relating it to an increase in humoral products, but no focus was given to hemocyte response or to other species of snails. In this study, we focus on hemocyte dynamics and some humoral factors in the species B. glabrata and B. straminea, the most widespread species in Brazil, sensitized and non-sensitized to the Schistosoma mansoni worm. We report a change in the prevalent hemocyte type after sensitization, through an increase in the proportion of granulocytes, as well as a change in the total number of hemocytes caused by a second exposure to the parasite. We also showed that melanization is not a key factor in Biomphalaria snail defense and varies little after the second exposure event. The data reported in this article confirm the effect of immune priming on these snails and suggest that the increase of humoral products shown in the literature is accompanied by variation in hemocytes after sensitization.
