ABSTRACT: Analysis of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in various primary cells and immortalized cell lines, following type 1 interferon (IFN) treatment. Some cell types become resistant to HIV-1 infection following type 1 interferon treatment (such as macrophages, THP-1, PMA-THP-1, U87-MG cells and to a lesser extent, primary CD4+ T cells) while others either become only partially resistant (e.g., HT1080, PMA-U937) or remain permissive (e.g., CEM, CEM-SS, Jurkat T cell lines and U937); for more information see (Goujon and Malim, Journal of Virology 2010) and (Goujon and Schaller et al., Retrovirology 2013). We hypothesized that the anti-HIV-1 ISGs are differentially induced and expressed in restrictive cells compared to permissive cells and performed a whole genome analysis following type 1 IFN treatment in cell types exhibiting different HIV-1 resistance phenotypes. 48 samples; design: 9 cell lines, primary CD4+ T cells and primary macrophages, untreated and IFN-treated; 2 replicate experiments per cell line; 3 replicate experiments per primary cell type

Project description:We have used RNA immunoprecipitation to identify the set of mRNAs that HIV-1 Tat interacts with in T-cells. We have also performed measurements of relative RNA abundance to determine if Tat binding is associated with an increase in RNA abundance in Tat-expressing T-cells and during HIV infection of primary T-cells. We have also used RNA IP and ChIP-Chip to compare the RNAs with which Tat interacts with to the RNAs that RISC interacts with and the genes associated with pTEF-b.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human CEM cells comparing control untreated CEM cells with either 2h or 4.5h cluvenone-treated CEM cells. Two-timepoint experiment, CEM vs. Cluvenone-Treated CEM (2h and 4.5h). Biological replicates: 4 control, 4 2h-treated, 4 4.5h-treated, independently grown and harvested. Pooled controls. One replicate per array.
Project description:Herein expression trends of host miRNA were measured in HIV-1 latently infected and persistent replication cells, as well as the control cells. HIV-1 latency infection was established by infecting CEM-SS lymphocytes with HIV-1 Bru strain. After selection and long-term culture, the chronically infected cell showed the characteristics of latency definition: 1. The provirus was intergrated in to the host genome.2. No viral expression could be detected during culture.3 .Cell stimulators, such as TNFa,PMA, etc, reactivate the viral expression. As expected, miRNA trend was different in HIV-1 latency when compared to the control or HIV-1 replication. A subset of miRNAs is enriched in HIV-1 latency model. The observation reinforces the concept of active HIV-1 interplay with host small RNAs that modulate HIV-1 infection mode. In this study, the in vitro steady cell culture was used to explore the miRNA transcription signatures in HIV-1 infection. miRNA profiles were performed and compared among normal control,HIV-1 latency and HIV-1 replication .
Project description:Microparticles (MPs) comprise the major source of systemic RNA including microRNA (miRNA), the aberrant expression of which appears to be associated with stage, progression and spread of many cancers. We have shown MPs to transfer multidrug resistance proteins accross both haematological and and non-haematological cancers. using microarray miRNA profiling analysis we now analyze changes in miRNA profiles of both cancer types following microparticle transfer. We identified certain upregulated miRNAs in both cancer types. Total RNA was extracted and pooled from duplicate experiments for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays from (i) the parental drug sensitive leukaemia (CEM) or breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, (ii) their Multidrug Resistant strains leukaemia (VLB100) or breast cancer ( DX cells), (iii) the microparticles isolated from the resistant cells: VLBMP or DXMP, and (iv) the cocultured samples: sensitive cell co-incubated with MPs from their resistant cells ( leukaemia: CEM+VLBMP) or(breast cancer: MCF-7+DXMP). We sought to examine the miRNA profiles of the drug sensitve cells after MP transfer from drug resistant cells across leukaemia nd breact cancer cell lines.
Project description:To investigate type I interferon regulated genes in CD8+ T cells, we used microarray analyses after stimulation of primary murine T cell cultures. Negatively sorted T cells from naive C57Bl/6 mice were incubated with PBS or anti-CD3 in presence or absence of type I interferon (IFN-4a, 500U/mL). After 6h total RNA was extracted from the primary T cell cultures and microarrays were performed after RNA quality control. Among significantly regulated genes, we identified NK cell receptor ligands to be affected by exposure to type I interferon. 10^6 negatively sorted CD8+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody in the presence or absence of IFN-4a. Additionally, CD8+ cells were mock treated with PBS in the presence or absence of IFN-4a. After 6h, total RNA was extracted from cell suspensions and microarray analyses were performed. All experiments were carried out in triplicates.
Project description:To expand knowledge of the effects of interferon at the proteomic level, we treated HepG2 cells with IFN-alpha and IFN-lambda for 24 hours. HepG2.2.15 cells, a model for HBV infection, were also examined versus controls. MTT assays showed that optimized IFN levels (100 ng/ml) did not induce apoptosis relative to untreated controls. Including controls, more than 6,000 proteins were identified. Five replicates each of IFN-alpha treatment, IFN-lambda treatment, and control were performed, allowing confident identification of differentially expressed proteins. While a number of publications suggest that no interferon effect is evident upon HBV infection, our own results strongly suggest otherwise. Differential alterations of the proteasome were noted when comparing HBV infection against IFN-treatment. We also note that differential effects upon IFN treatment significantly overlapped with transcriptomic datasets when upregulation was examined. However, proteins downregulated upon IFN treatment show little overlap with these transcriptomic datasets.
Project description:Approximately 50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) have a sustained virologic response (SVR) to treatment with pegylated interferon (pegINF)-α and ribavirin. Non-response to treatment is associated with constitutively increased expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the liver. Treatment of patients with acute hepatitis C (AHC) is more effective, with SVR rates >90%. We investigated mechanisms of the different responses of patients with CHC and AHC to pegIFN-α therapy. We analyzed IFN signaling and ISG expression in liver samples from patients with acute hepatitis C (AHC), patients with chronic hepatitis (CHC), and individuals without hepatitis C (controls) using microarray, immunohistochemical, and protein analyses. Findings were compared with those from primary human hepatocytes stimulated with IFN-α or IFN-γ, as reference sets. Expression levels of 100s of genes, primarily those regulated by IFN-γ, were altered in liver samples from patients with AHC compared with controls. Expression of IFN-γ–stimulated genes was induced in liver samples from patients with AHC, whereas expression of IFN-α–stimulated genes was induced in samples from patients with CHC. In an expression analysis of negative regulators of IFN-α signaling, we did not observe differences in expression of SOCS1 or SOCS3 between liver samples from patients with AHC and those with CHC. However, USP18 (another negative regulator of IFN-α signaling), was upregulated in liver samples of patients with CHC that did not respond to therapy, but not in AHC. In conclusion, differences in expression of ISGs might account for the greater response of patients with AHC, compared to those with CHC, to treatment with pegINF-α and ribavirin. Specifically, USP18 is upregulated in liver samples of patients with CHC that do not respond to therapy, but not in patients with AHC. (Interferon-γ Stimulated Genes, but not USP18, are Expressed in Livers of Patients with Acute Hepatitis C; Dill MT, Makowska Z et al, Gastroenterology 2012 (in press)) Primary human hepatocytes from 2 donors were analyzed. From each donor there are 5 samples: untreated cells, cells treated with interferon alpha (1000 IU/ml) for 6 and 24 hours and cells treated with interferon gamma (1000 IU/ml) for 6 and 24 hours.
Project description:The cellular response to interferon (IFN) is essential for antiviral immunity, IFN-based therapy and IFN-related disease. The plasma membrane (PM) provides a critical interface between the cell and its environment, and is the initial portal of entry for viruses. Nonetheless, the effect of IFN on PM proteins is surprisingly poorly understood, and has not been systematically investigated in primary immune cells. Here, we use multiplexed proteomics to quantify IFNα-stimulated PM protein changes in primary human CD14+ monocytes and CD4+ T cells from five donors, quantifying 606 and 482 PM proteins respectively. Comparison of cell surface proteomes revealed a remarkable invariance between donors in the overall composition of the cell surface from each cell type, but a marked donor-to-donor variability in the effects of IFNα. Furthermore, whereas only 2.7% of quantified proteins were consistently upregulated by IFNα at the surface of CD4+ T cells, 6.8% of proteins were consistently upregulated in primary monocytes, suggesting that the magnitude of the IFNα response varies according to cell type. Amongst these differentially regulated proteins, we found the viral target Endothelin-converting enzyme 1 (ECE1) to be an IFNα-stimulated protein exclusively upregulated at the surface of CD4+ T cells. We therefore provide a comprehensive map of the cell surface of IFNα-stimulated primary human immune cells, including previously uncharacterised interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) and candidate antiviral factors.
Project description:BRD9 was identified in a genome-wide screen for genes regulating the response to interferon (IFN) in a A549 based reporter cell line. Subsequent experiments determined an involvement of BRD9 in the transcriptional regulation of Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression following stimulation with IFN-a2. The aim of this proximity-labelling experiments was to gain a more mechanistic understanding of BRD9 recruitment during the IFN signal transduction using A549 cells stably transduced with BRD9-TurboID and mCherry-TurboID fusion proteins. The BRD9 interactome in the absence of IFN- a2 was determined. We found that following IFN-a2 treatment, STAT2 significantly associates with BRD9-TurboID.
