Evidence for Zoonotic Transmission of a Novel Adenovirus Associated with a Fulminant Pneumonia Outbreak in a Titi Monkey Colony

ABSTRACT: We used the Virochip microarray to detect and discover a novel adenovirus, TMAdV (titi monkey adenovirus). We used custom-commercial microarrays from Agilent Technologies. The microarray platform GPL11662 consists of 62,976 probes, of which 19,058 probes are 70-mer viral oligonucleotides (the union of the V3 and V4 platforms -- please see Wang, et al., PNAS, 2002; Chiu, et al., Clin Infect Dis, 2006; Chiu, et al., PNAS, 2008). For this study, 4 experimental Virochip microarrays derived from tissue and swabs from affected titi monkeys were analyzed. We also used 18 Virochip microarrays derived from sera from healthy random human blood donors as a negative background set for Z-score analysis (see Chiu, et al., Clin Infect Dis, 2006). Raw Agilent microarray .txt files are background normalized and the 19,058 70-mer viral probes are then selected and displayed as columns in the processed data table.

Project description:XMRV, or xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related virus, is a novel gammaretrovirus originally identified in studies that analyzed tissue from prostate cancer patients in 2006 and blood from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in 2009. However, a large number of subsequent studies failed to confirm a link between XMRV infection and CFS or prostate cancer. On the contrary, recent evidence indicates that XMRV is a contaminant originating from the recombination of two mouse endogenous retroviruses during passaging of a prostate tumor xenograft (CWR22) in mice, generating laboratory-derived cell lines that are XMRV-infected. To confirm or refute an association between XMRV and prostate cancer, we analyzed prostate cancer tissues and plasma from a prospectively collected cohort of 39 patients as well as archival RNA and prostate tissue from the original 2006 study. Despite comprehensive microarray, PCR, FISH, and serological testing, XMRV was not detected in any of the newly collected samples or in archival tissue, although archival RNA remained XMRV-positive. Notably, archival VP62 prostate tissue, from which the prototype XMRV strain is derived, tested negative for XMRV on re-analysis. Analysis of viral genomic and human mitochondrial sequences revealed that all previously characterized XMRV strains are identical and that the archival RNA had been contaminated by an XMRV-infected laboratory cell line. These findings reveal no association between XMRV and prostate cancer, and underscore the conclusion that XMRV is not a naturally acquired human infection. The Virochip microarray (version 5.0, Viro5AGL-60K platform) was used to screen RNA extracts from prostate tissue for XMRV to determine whether there is an association between the virus and prostate cancer. We used the ViroChip microarray to screen 22 archived prostate biopsies extracted in 2006 and 39 prospectively collected prostate biopsies for the virus, Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus (XMRV). We used custom-commercial microarrays from Agilent Technologies. The microarray platform GPL11662 consists of 62,976 probes [PMID 21779173], including all of the viral probes from the previous v2.0 (MV), v3.0 (V3) and v4.0 (V4) designs [PMIDs 18768820, 16983602, 16609730, 12429852, 9843981]. For this study, 61 experimental ViroChip microarrays derived from prospectively collected RNA extracted prostate tissue and frozen RNA from archived prostate from a 2006 study were analyzed. Additionally, two XMRV-positive control microarrays from the cell line, 22Rv1, were hybridized, for a total of 63 ViroChip microarrays. Some RNA extracts were enriched for polyadenylated (polyA) transcripts prior to hybridization.
