RESUMO

Nematomorph parasites manipulate terrestrial arthropods to enter streams where the parasites reproduce. These manipulated arthropods become a substantial prey subsidy for stream salmonids, causing cross-ecosystem energy flow. Diverse nematomorph-arthropod associations underlie the energy flow, but it remains unknown whether they can mediate the magnitude and temporal attributes of the energy flow. Here, we investigated whether distinct phylogenetic groups of nematomorphs manipulate different arthropod hosts and mediate seasonal prey subsidy for stream salmonids. The results of our molecular-based diagnoses show that Gordionus and Gordius nematomorphs infected ground beetle and orthopteran hosts, respectively. The presumable ground beetle hosts subsidized salmonid individuals in spring, whereas the presumable orthopteran hosts did so in autumn. Maintaining the two distinct nematomorph-arthropod associations thus resulted in the parasite-mediated prey subsidy in both spring and autumn in the study streams. Manipulative parasites are common, and often associated with a range of host lineages, suggesting that similar effects of phylogenetic variation in host-parasite associations on energy flow might be widespread in nature.

RESUMO

A single-round DNA aptamer selection for mammalian cells was successfully achieved for the first time using a capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based methodology called polymer-enhanced capillary transient isotachophoresis (PectI). The PectI separation yielded a single peak for the human lung cancer cell line (PC-9) complexed with DNA aptamer candidates, which was effectively separated from a free randomized DNA library peak, ensuring no contamination from free DNA in the PC-9-DNA aptamer complex fraction. The DNA aptamer candidates obtained after a single-round selection employing counter selection with HL-60 were proven to bind selectively and form kinetically stable complexes with PC-9 cells. Interestingly, most aptamer candidates showed high binding ability (Kd = 70-350 nM) with different extents of binding on the cell surface. These facts proved that a single-round selection for mammalian cells by PectI is feasible to obtain various types of aptamer candidates, which have high-affinity even for non-overexpressed but unique targets on the cell surface in addition to overexpressed targets.
