SUMMARY

2

Cryptosporidium species are worldwide spread apicomplexan protozoan. These parasites

3

constitute a significant risk to humans and animals. They cause self-limited diarrhea in

4

immunocompetent hosts and a life threatening disease in immunocompromised hosts.

5

Interestingly, Cryptosporidium parvum has been related to digestive carcinogenesis in

6

humans. Consistently with a potential tumorigenic role of this parasite, in an original

7

reproducible animal model of chronic cryptosporidiosis based on dexamethasone-treated or

8

untreated adult SCID mice, we formerly reported that C. parvum (strains of animal and

9

human origin) is able to induce digestive adenocarcinoma even in infections induced with

10

very low inoculum. The aim of this study was to further characterize this animal model and to

11

explore metabolic pathways potentially involved in the development of C. parvum-induced

12

ileo-caecal oncogenesis. We searched for alterations in genes or proteins commonly involved

13

in cell cycle, differentiation or cell migration, such as β-catenin, Apc, E-cadherin, Kras and

14

p53. After infection of animals with C. parvum we demonstrated immunohistochemical

15

abnormal localization of Wnt signaling pathway components and p53. Mutations in the

16

selected loci of studied genes were not found after high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore,

17

alterations in the ultrastructure of adherens junctions of the ileo-caecal neoplastic epithelia of

18

C. parvum infected mice were recorded using transmission electron microscopy. In

19

conclusion, we found for the first time that the Wnt signaling pathway, and particularly the

20

cytoskeleton network seems to be pivotal for the development of C. parvum-induced

21

neoplastic process and cell migration of transformed cells. Furthermore, this model is a

22

valuable tool to contribute to the comprehension of the host-pathogen interactions associated

23

to the intricate infection process due to this parasite, which is able to modulate host

24

cytoskeleton activities and several host-cell biological processes and that remains a significant

25

cause of infection worldwide.

INTRODUCTION

3

Cryptosporidium species are worldwide spread apicomplexan parasitic protists. The infection

4

results from the ingestion of Cryptosporidium oocysts through the consumption of fecally

5

contaminated food or water or through direct person-to-person or animal-to-person contact

6

(Chalmers and Katzer, 2013). This ubiquitous, intracellular parasite constitutes a significant

7

health risk to humans and animals. It causes self-limited diarrhea in immunocompetent

8

persons and a life threatening disease in immunocompromised persons (Ramirez et al., 2004).

9

Contaminated water is the major source of Cryptosporidium infections for humans. Large-

10

scale outbreaks of human cryptosporidiosis were reported, often implicating contaminated

11

drinking or recreational water (Ramirez et al., 2004,Rowan, 2011,Yoder and Beach, 2010).

12

The ingestion of as few as ten oocysts can cause infection in immunocompetent persons

13

(Okhuysen et al., 1999). This low infection threshold, together with the well-known resistance

14

of Cryptosporidium oocysts to chlorine disinfection at concentrations typically applied in

15

drinking water plants, facilitate the waterborne transmission of cryptosporidiosis (Rowan,

16

2011,Yoder and Beach, 2010).

17

Nevertheless, key aspects of cryptosporidiosis remain unclear. For this reason, to contribute to

18

the understanding of the dynamics of the infection, we formerly developed an animal model

19

of cryptosporidiosis using dexamethasone-treated or untreated adult SCID mice orally

20

infected with Cryptosporidium parvum or C. muris oocysts. Unexpectedly, we observed that

21

C. parvum-infected SCID mice developed digestive adenocarcinoma (Certad et al., 2007).

22

Low or high grade intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive adenocarcinoma associated with

23

numerous C. parvum life stages were detected in the digestive tract of SCID mice, including

24

stomach, ileo-caecal region and intrahepatic biliary tree (Certad et al., 2012,Certad et al.,

25

2010a,Certad et al., 2010b,Certad et al., 2007). A highly significant correlation was found

26

between the extension of cryptosporidiosis and the severity of neoplastic lesions (Certad et al.,

27

2010b).

28

Further analysis allow us to show that different strains of C. parvum isolated from either

29

animals or humans, induced digestive neoplasia in this rodent model (Certad et al.,

30

2012,Certad et al., 2010a,Certad et al., 2010b,Certad et al., 2007), even in infections induced

31

with very low inoculum sizes (1 – 10 oocysts) (Benamrouz et al., 2012). On the other hand, in

32

the same experimental model, the species C. muris with gastric tropism (infecting mice and

3

Accepted manuscript Disease Models & Mechanisms DMM

1

humans) did not induce that type of epithelial cell transformation independently of the grade

2

of immunosupression (Certad et al., 2010b).

3

Consistently, different evidences have shown direct or indirect association between

4

cryptosporidiosis and cancer in different human populations: In a study among HIV-infected

5

subjects known to be highly susceptible to Cryptosporidium infections, the incidence of

6

colorectal cancer was found to be higher than in the general population (Patel et al., 2008).

7

Another study reported that the risk of developing a colon carcinoma is significantly elevated

8

among AIDS patients presenting cryptosporidiosis (Shebl et al., 2012). A possible association

9

between human cryptosporidiosis and liver cancer was suggested in children with X-linked

10

hyper-IgM syndrome (Tomizawa et al., 2004). Two epidemiological studies in Poland

11

reported a frequency of 18% and 12.6% of cryptosporidiosis in patients with colorectal cancer

12

of recent diagnosis before any immunosuppressive treatment (Sulżyc-Bielicka et al.,

13

2012,Sulzyc-Bielicka et al., 2007).

14

As well, it has been shown experimentally that C. parvum infection alters gene profile

15

expression of the host cell. These altered genes include those associated to apoptosis such as

16

BCL2 and the c-Myc proto-oncogene (Liu et al., 2009), proinflammatory signaling cascades

17

and cytoskeletal dynamics (Deng et al., 2004). Nevertheless, even if we can hypothesize that

18

the acquired transformed phenotype of Cryptosporidium infected epithelial cells is a

19

consequence of modulation of cell signaling by the parasite, to our knowledge, no data about

20

the mechanism of C. parvum induced neoplasia are available.

21

The present work belongs to a series of experiments exploring the ability of C. parvum to

22

induce neoplastic changes in the digestive epithelium of the animal model. The aim of this

23

study was to further characterize this animal model and to explore metabolic pathways

24

potentially involved in the development of ileo-caecal neoplasia induced by C. parvum

25

infection, which is to our knowledge the first parasitic protiste able to induce epithelial

26

invasive neoplasia in mammals (Benamrouz et al., 2012,Certad et al., 2012,Certad et al.,

27

2010a,Certad et al., 2010b,Certad et al., 2007). We searched for alterations in genes or

28

proteins commonly involved in cell cycle, differentiation or cell migration, such as β-catenin

29

and Apc (components of the Wnt signaling pathway), the Kras oncogene and p53 by

30

molecular and immunohistochemical approaches.

RESULTS

2

Development of intraepithelial neoplasia and adenocarcinoma

3

The histopathological study showed the development of neoplasia of different grades of

4

severity.

5

adenocarcinoma. A total of 27 Dex-treated SCID mice were successfully infected with

6

different strains of C. parvum (IOWA: 20 mice, TUM1: 4 mice and IIaA15G2R1 human

7

isolate: 3 mice).

8

At histological examination of the ileo-caecal region we observed LGIEN in 2/19 mice. The

9

detected lesions were characterized by slight modified mucosal architecture, including

10

irregular glands lined by cells with slight atypias and containing minimal mucin or depletion.

11

In 8/19 animals, we discovered exophytic adenomas showing an increasing architectural

12

distortion, glandular crowding and major cellular atypias (HGIEN). In 8/19 mice,

13

adenocarcinoma processes invading the submucosae though the muscularis mucosae were

14

observed. In 1/19 mouse we observed a well differentiated adenocarcinoma invading the inner

15

layer of the muscularis. In general, lesions showed a gradual progression from LGIEN to

16

HGIEN and invasive well-differentiated adenocarcinoma progressing into the lamina propria

17

(intramucosal carcinoma), into the submucosa and through the muscularis-mucosae into the

18

subserosa. The severity of lesions increased steadily according to the delay P.I.. Those

19

neoplastic lesions were accompanied by a diffuse inflammatory cell infiltrate, particularly in

20

mice infected with TUM1 and II2A15G2R1 strains. In summary, the incidence of ileo- caecal

21

neoplasia was present in 19/19 (100%) infected animals euthanatized after 40 days P. I.

22

Apc labeling

23

In the mucosa of ileo-caecal regions of uninfected control mice, Apc cytoplasmic

24

immunoreactivity was detected in all animals. In 100% of infected animals presenting

25

LGIEN, HGIEN or adenocarcinoma, gradual decrease of the intensity of cytoplasmic Apc

26

labeling after infection with diverse C. parvum strains was recorded in the lesions, while

27

contiguous normal mouse tissue showed a staining pattern similar to that seen in normal tissue

28

(Fig. 1). The decrease of Apc labeling was observed after 25 days P.I and was found in lesions

29

with either intraepithelial neoplasia or invasive adenocarcinoma (Table 1). An association

30

between loss of Apc labeling and a longer time P.I. was extremely significant (p
