Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular pathogen, possesses the peculiar developmental cycle involving biological conversion in host cells. In this study, aiming at revealing the regulatory mechanism of Chlamydial developmental cycle, transcriptional analysis (RNAseq) of Chlamydia in host cells was performed. There were few reports about RNA-seq analysis of obligate intracellular pathogens at that time. Prior to the RNA-seq analysis, we attempted enrichment of Chlamydial mRNA and depletion of host/Chlamydial rRNA in samples. Although novel transcribed regions including ncRNA were not identified, we obtained important information regarding about dealing with RNA of obligate intracellular pathogens toward RNA-seq. The RNA-seq of Chlamydia is ongoing in the continuous project.
