+
 
+
              <h3>RESULT</h3>
+
<p style="text-indent:2em">

              <h3>RESULT</h3>
+
    <p style="text-indent:2em">
+
As figures shown above, the green fluorescence intensities driven by GAM1 promoter were increased dose-dependently in the presence of E. coli at MOIs from 2 to 32. The fluorescence expressed by Ac5 promoter was not influenced at the same condition. These results demonstrated GAM1-GFP reporter system can used in the mosquito cells as a biosensor in response of different concentrations of bacteria.
+
</p>
+
 
+
<h3>CONCLUSION</h3>
+
    <p style="text-indent:2em">
+
Taken together, we created a GFP reporter system driven under AMP promoter by Toll signaling. The expression of GFP can be induced by bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. The green fluorescence observed under microscope further proved the concept of GE mosquito cells as a pathogen surveillance tool.

To demonstrate in adult mosquitoes, we collaborated with iGEM Team NCHU_Taichung to microinject DNA into Aedes aegypti. We prepared the plasmid of GAM1-GFP-polyA / pSB1C3 and heat-killed E. coli. A member who works in Entomology Department of National Chung Hsing University take us to the mosquito lab and helped us inject the materials to the midgut of Aedes aegypti.

HIV is a huge epidemic around the world which can cause AIDS in infected people. To identify HIV is very difficult for people in limited-resource countries and individuals who wants privacy. An easy-to-use, cheap and portable testing device is urgently need around the world.
+
</p>
+
<br />
+
<p style="text-indent:2em">
+
To further engineer the mosquito to recognize HIV, we designed and created a synthetic HIV-specific receptor composed of <a href=https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P01730>human CD4</a> extracellular domain (1-396 aa) and <a href=https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P08953>Drosophila Toll</a> transmembrane and intracellular domains (808-828 aa and 829-1097 aa, respectively) based on UniProt protein database.

The DNA sequences of human CD4 and Drosophila Toll domains were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (IDT). The DNAs were cloned onto pSB1C3 and confirmed by sequencing. The fusion protein of CD4-Toll was further assembled with polyA and driven by Ac5 promoter.

            <h4> Ac5 promoter with strong activity </h4>
+
<p style="text-indent:2em">
+
To test the gene expression driven by Ac5 promoter, we cultured a mosquito Aedes albopictus C6/36 cell line and transfected cells with the plasmid of Ac5-GFP-polyA (K2543004). GFP positive cells and intensity were analyzed 2 days after transfection.

              <h3>RESULT</h3>

As data shown here, Ac5 is a strong and constitutive promoter which can drive GFP to high expression level in mosquito cells. And we can transfect more than 50% of GFP positive cell with liposome-mediated DNA delivery.

            <h4> Signal driven by CD4-Toll chimera and blocked by HIV </h4>
+
<p style="text-indent:2em">
+
To test feasibility of fusion CD4-Toll chimera, we acquired the plasmid of Drosomycin promoter-luciferase from world-renowned insect geneticist, Dr. Jean-Luc Imler and conducted the luc reporter assay with Ac5-CD4-Toll-polyA in the mosquito cells.

+
              <h3>RESULT</h3>
+
<p style="text-indent:2em">
+
The result indicated that luciferase activity driven by Drosomycin promoter can be triggered by CD4-Toll chimera. The activity was decreased in the presence of gp120 of HIV. The finding demonstrates the possibility that GE mosquito created by our project could be applied to detect HIV virus in infected human blood.

Description

Mosquito Toll-Amp signaling plays an important roll in response to and regulating blood infectious pathogens.


To genetically engineer mosquitoes as blood testing tools, we’ve collected DNA materials as BioBrick parts for future assembly.


First, we designed a universal pathogen blood testing kit consisting of BioBrick parts of GAM1 promoter, GFP and polyA, as well as Ac5 promoter as a positive expression control.


Second, we designed a HIV viral blood testing kit consisting of BioBrick parts of Ac5 promoter, CD4 extracellular domain, Drosophila transmembrane and intracellular domains, and poly A, as well as Ac5-GFP-polyA as a positive expression control.
