Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dengue viruses are biologically transmitted among humans through the bite of infected female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. However, gene-based processes occuring in viral infected mosquitoes are not clear yet. Next-generation sequencing based transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) is a powerful technique for assessing the differential expression of genes. Using this technique, we compared gene expression patterns among mosquito individuals infected with 1) Dengue virus, 2) asymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia, and 3) neither of these, using Aedes aegypti samples collected from the Philippines. Before the RNAseq analysis, we screened Dengue virus or Wolbachia positive individuals using PCR or RT-PCR assays. Through the RNAseq analysis, we found 69 genes, which are potentially related to biological process concurring in Dengue infected mosquito bodies. These genes are estimated to be related to many biological functions such as serine-type endopeptidase activity, ATP binding, and odorant binding protein.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

世界的にデング熱患者が急増しているが,有効なワクチンはなく,予防策は蚊に刺されないようにすることのみである。本研究により,デングウイルスを媒介するネッタイシマカ体内でのデングウイルス感染やボルバキアによるウイルス感染抑制に関する遺伝子群とその機能を推定することができた。このような遺伝子レベルの制御メカニズムが今後さらに集積すれば,将来的にはデングウイルスに感染しない(しにくい)蚊を「遺伝子ドライブ」によるゲノム編集で作成するための有用な情報となる可能性がある。
