Transcription profiling of human EBV- cell lines BL41K3 and BJABK3 expressing a chimeric EBNA-2 protein treated with estrogen to induce expression of ER/EBNA-2 and downstream genes to identify cellular target genes of EBV nuclear antigen 2

ABSTRACT: Two cell lines, BL41K3 and BJABK3, were chosen to perform a comprehensive screen for EBNA-2 target genes. Both cell lines are EBV negative B-cell lines and express a chimeric EBNA-2 protein fused to the hormone binding domain of the estrogen receptor (ER/EBNA-2). The cells are propagated in the absence of hormone 31,36. Estrogen stimulation activates ER/EBNA-2, which in turn activates well known EBNA-2 target genes like CD21. BL41K3 and BJABK3 were cultured in estrogen supplemented medium for 24h and gene expression profiles were established for unstimulated and stimulated cells. Experiment Overall Design: BJABK3: 3 biological replicates, for unstimulated and EBNA-2 induced cells, resp. Experiment Overall Design: BL41K3: 2 biological replicates, for unstimulated and EBNA-2 induced cell, resp.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2) is a key determinant in the EBV-driven B-cell growth transformation process. By activating an array of viral and cellular target genes, EBNA-2 initiates a cascade of events which ultimately cause cell cycle entry and the proliferation of the infected B cell. In order to identify cellular target genes that respond to EBNA-2 in the absence of other viral factors, we have performed a comprehensive search for EBNA-2 target genes in two EBV-negative ...[more]

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection converts resting human B cells into permanently growing lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). The viral Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) plays key role in this process. It preferentially binds to B cell enhancers and establishes a specific viral and cellular gene expression program in LCLs. The cellular DNA binding factor CBF1/CSL serves as a sequence specific chromatin anchor for EBNA2. The ubiquitous expression of this highly conserved protein raises the question whether additional cellular factors might determine EBNA2 chromatin binding selectively in B cells. Here we used CBF1 deficient B cells to identify cellular genes up or downregulated by EBNA2 as well as CBF1 independent EBNA2 chromatin binding sites. Both, CBF1 independent EBNA2 target genes and chromatin binding sites are less frequent than CBF1 dependent EBNA2 functions. CBF1 independent EBNA2 binding sites are highly enriched for EBF1 binding motifs. We show that EBNA2 binds to EBF1 in CBF1 proficient and deficient B cells and requires EBF1 to bind to CBF1 independent binding sites. Our results identify EBF1 as a co-factor of EBNA2 which conveys B cell specificity to EBNA2. In order to test, if EBNA2 can exert any functions in the absence of its DNA adaptor CBF1, a microarray based genome wide screen for EBNA2 target genes in DG75 B cells that are either proficient (wt) or deficient (ko) for CBF1 was performed. CBF1 deficient DG75 cells (SM224.9) cells had been generated by gene targeting using homologous recombination in the somatic B cell line DG75. Both cell lines, the CBF1 proficient DG75 parental cell line and the CBF1 deficient somatic knock-out cell line constitutively express an estrogen receptor (ER) hormone binding domain EBNA2 fusion protein (ER/EBNA2). ER/EBNA2 is retained in the cytoplasm of the cell but is rapidly activated and translocated to the nucleus in response to estrogen. For expression profiling, DG75, DG75 CBF1 ko (SM224.9), DG75 ER/EBNA2 CBF1 wt (SM295 D6) and DG75 ER/EBNA2 CBF1 ko (SM296 D3) cells were cultured in estrogen supplemented media for 24 h, total cellular RNAs were harvested and processed for the hybridization of gene arrays. The cellular system used for this study has been published: Maier S, Santak M, Mantik A, Grabusic K, Kremmer E, Hammerschmidt W, et al. A somatic knockout of CBF1 in a human B-cell line reveals that induction of CD21 and CCR7 by EBNA-2 is strictly CBF1 dependent and that downregulation of immunoglobulin M is partially CBF1 independent.
