Documenting Trematode Larvae in Marine Sponges

Documenting Trematode Larvae in Marine Sponges.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Parasitic trematode larvae (cercariae and metacercariae) were discovered in a nearshore sponge habitat on Summerland Key, FL. This is a life cycle study of these consecutive larval stages in the sponge microenvironment. The goal of this research is to elucidate information on the life cycle of these trematodes by (1) identifying the trematode taxa present in the sponge microenvironment, (2) identifying the invertebrate host organism(s) preferred by each taxon, and (3) documenting the...
Show moreParasitic trematode larvae (cercariae and metacercariae) were discovered in a nearshore sponge habitat on Summerland Key, FL. This is a life cycle study of these consecutive larval stages in the sponge microenvironment. The goal of this research is to elucidate information on the life cycle of these trematodes by (1) identifying the trematode taxa present in the sponge microenvironment, (2) identifying the invertebrate host organism(s) preferred by each taxon, and (3) documenting the hostparasite histology. This presentation shows a combination of light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs documenting the histology of trematodes in sponges. In future analyses, 18s rDNA sequencing will be used as a preliminary screening of the taxa present in sponge tissues, and oligonucleotide probes will be developed to detect these parasites in the invertebrate symbionts of the sponges. This combination of microscopy and molecular approaches will elucidate linkages between developmental stages and provide information on the pathway(s) these parasites use to reach their final host(s). These larval stages are important to study in trematode life cycles because they develop into endoparasites of vertebrates; which in this case are likely fish which eat the sponge. Reef fishes such as Acanthostracion quadricornis (scrawled cowfish), Holocanthus ciliaris (queen angelfish), and Holocanthus tricolor (rock beauty) opportunistically consume sponges of this particular genus (Spongia). Much is known about the health impacts of adult trematodes in fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals; however, there is little data directly linking diet choices with infection. Trematodes have not been reported in sponges in previous literature.

ESTABLISHING A SPONGE HYBRIDOMA FOR THE IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF A MARINE NATURAL PRODUCT

ESTABLISHING A SPONGE HYBRIDOMA FOR THE IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF A MARINE NATURAL PRODUCT.

Abstract/Description
Marine sponges are one of the most prolific sources of chemical compounds with pharmaceutical importance. To establish a supply of such compounds large enough for clinical development, in vitro production methodology was investigated. Since all sponge cells do not divide in culture, it was hypothesized that the fusion of rapidly dividing cells of a sponge that does not produce any compounds of interest with cells of a nondividing but compound-producing sponge would result in a hybridoma that...
Show moreMarine sponges are one of the most prolific sources of chemical compounds with pharmaceutical importance. To establish a supply of such compounds large enough for clinical development, in vitro production methodology was investigated. Since all sponge cells do not divide in culture, it was hypothesized that the fusion of rapidly dividing cells of a sponge that does not produce any compounds of interest with cells of a nondividing but compound-producing sponge would result in a hybridoma that produces the compound of interest. In this study, hybridomas have been produced with cells of two marine sponges, Axinella corrugata, which produces the antitumor compound stevensine, and Geodia neptuni, which divides rapidly in a nutrient medium optimized for sponge cell culture. Successful hybridization and subsequent cell division and in vitro stevensine production may unlock the potential for sustainable mass production of other sponge-derived compounds.

Abstract/Description
Marine sponges are economically and environmentally valuable, but restoration, commercial, and biomedical demands exceed what wild populations and aquaculture can provide. In vitro culture of sponge cells is a promising alternative, but has remained elusive until recent breakthroughs involving improved nutrient medium M1 in two-dimensional culture.

Show moreMarine sponges are economically and environmentally valuable, but restoration, commercial, and biomedical demands exceed what wild populations and aquaculture can provide. In vitro culture of sponge cells is a promising alternative, but has remained elusive until recent breakthroughs involving improved nutrient medium M1 in two-dimensional culture. The advantages of three-dimensional over two-dimensional cell culture have been increasingly recognized. Here we report the successful 21-day culture of cells from the marine sponge Geodia neptuni using multiple three-dimensional cell culture methods: FibraCel© disks, thin hydrogel layers, gel micro droplets, and spheroid cell culture. These methods performed comparably to two-dimensional control cultures, and each method offers advantages for restoration or in vitro applications using sponge cells. Further optimization of these methods may lead to the ability to culture fully functioning sponges from dissociated, cryopreserved cells, which will reduce the need for wild harvest of sponge tissues for commercial, restoration, and biomedical purposes.
