   <oaf:description>Abstract Background Fasciola gigantica, the tropical liver fluke,
32
                    infects buffaloes in Asian and African countries and causes significant economic
33
                    losses and poses public health threat in these countries. However, little is
34
                    known of the transcriptional response of buffaloes to infection with F.
35
                    gigantica. The objective of the present study was to perform the first
36
                    transcriptomic analysis of buffalo liver infected by F. gigantica. Understanding
37
                    the mechanisms that underpin F. gigantica infection in buffaloes will contribute
38
                    to our ability to control this parasite. Methods We challenged buffaloes with
39
                    500 viable F. gigantica metacercariae and collected liver samples through a time
40
                    course at 3, 42 and 70Â days post-infection (dpi). Then, we performed gene
41
                    expression analysis on liver samples using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) Illumina
42
                    technology and confirmed the RNA-Seq data by quantitative RT-PCR analysis.
43
                    Results Totals of 496, 880 and 441 differentially expressed transcripts were
44
                    identified in the infected livers at 3, 42 and 70 dpi, respectively. Gene
45
                    Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis
46
                    revealed that transcriptional changes in the liver of infected buffaloes evolve
47
                    over the course of infection. The predominant response of buffaloes to infection
48
                    was mediated by certain pathways, such as MHC antigen processing and
49
                    presentation, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), transforming growth factor beta
50
                    (TGF-β), and the cytochrome P450. Hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes and bile
51
                    secretion were also affected. Conclusions Fasciola gigantica can induce
52
                    statistically significant and biologically plausible differences in the hepatic
53
                    gene expression of infected buffaloes. These findings provide new insights into
54
                    the response of buffaloes to F. gigantica over the course of infection, which
55
                    may be useful in determining pathways that can modulate host-parasite
56
                    interaction and thus potentially important for clearance of the
57
                    parasite.</oaf:description>
