Zebrafish early transcriptional response to viral haemorrhagic septicemia rhabdovirus (VHSV) challenge vs2
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We describe here the transcripts induced after infection of zebrafish with viral haemorrhagic septicemia rhabdovirus (VHSV). Two days after infection, differentially expressed transcript levels from selected immune-related zebrafish genes were studied in both fins and internal organs (pooled spleen, head kidney and liver). VHSV-induced gene expression in zebrafish fins and organs was measured at 2 days after infection. Four independent experiments were performed for each treatment and their corresponding controls
Project description:In order to explore the relative importance of adult zebrafish innate and adaptive immune responses to different kinds of infections, we compared the gene expression profile of VHSV-challenge-survivors, bacterial infection survivors and control non infected zebrafish. VHSV -infection-survivors zebrafish were divided in two groups of 12 individuals, first group was infected with VHSV (samples named A) and second group was mock-infected (samples named B). Two days after challenge, zebrafish of each group were divided in four subgroups (3 fishes per group) and head kidney and spleen of each individual were sampled. For each group, internal organs of three fishes were pooled, so four biological replicates were generated . Zebrafish surviving a natural infection caused by Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio fluvialis (samples named C) were divided in four groups (3 fishes per group) and head kidney and spleen were extracted. Finally, 12 healthy zebrafish were used as control group (samples named D) and processed in the same way as group C.
Project description:We describe here transcripts induced after infection of zebrafish with Spring Viremia Carp Virus (SVCV). Two days after infection, differentially expressed transcript levels from selected immune-related zebrafish genes were studied in internal organs (pooled spleen, head kidney). Also, transcripts from resistant fishes to viral infection one month after inoculation were studied. Three different experiments were performed to get three biological replicates. Fishes were divided into two groups in each experiment. First group was infected by immersion with SVCV 10^7 pfu/ml, second group was used as a control of non-infected fishes. 6 fishes per group were sacrificed two days post infection, whereas the rest of the infected fishes from the three experiments were maintained for 30 days in the aquariums and then survivors (six for experiment) were sacrificed. This submission includes three biological replicate groups for the non-infected fish and the two days post-infected fish, and two biological replicate groups for the 30 days post-infected fish.
Project description:Immune responses in higher vertebrates are classically separated into innate and adaptive (or specific) immunity. However, important gaps of knowledge about how adaptive responses are generated in lower vertebrates still remain unsolved. In order to explore the relative importance of adaptive and innate immune responses, we have studied zebrafish transcriptional responses to an infection with the Spring Viraemia of Carp virus (SVCV) in rag1-/- zebrafish mutants compared to wild type zebrafish by using both genome wide and immunological-targeted gene expression microarrays. Both wild type (wt) and mutant (rag1) zebrafish were divided in two groups with 3 individuals per group. First group was infected with 10^5 pfu per ml of SVCV, second group was mock-infected. Two days after challenge zebrafish were sampled, head kidney and spleen of each fish were extracted and pooled between each group. The experiment was repeated once to obtain two biological replicates.

Project description:We describe for the first time transcripts induced after infection of zebrafish with VHSV. Two days after infection, differentially expressed transcript levels from selected immune-related zebrafish genes were studied using qRT-PCR in both fins and internal organs (pooled spleen, head kidney and liver).

Project description:We describe here transcripts induced after intraperitoneal injection of rainbow trout with 2 different viruses, both belonging to strain 23.75 of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV): a deleted Nv gene (dNV) virus and a wild type (wt) virus. Two days after infection, differentially expressed transcript levels from selected immune-related trout genes were studied in internal organs (spleen and head kidney). Fishes were divided in two groups (3 fishes per group). The first group was intraperitoneally injected with 100000 pfu per trout of dNV VHSV, while the second group was injected with 100000 pfu/trout of wt VHSV. All fishes were sacrificed two days post infection.
Project description:In zebrafish, there are interactions between black pigment cells (melanophores) and yellow pigment cells (xanthophores) for pigment-pattern formation. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of these interactions remains largely unknown. We used microarray for identifying the molecular basis of these interactions by comparing gene expression between melanophores and xanthophores. Zebrafish pigment cells were collected from adult-fish fins by centrifugal separation or using cell sorter. melanophores vs. xanthophores
Project description:Due to the common presence of a non-virion NV gene absent from other fish rhabdoviruses, NV-coding rhabdoviruses, such as the viral haemorrhagic septicemia (VHSV), were placed into a new Novirhabdovirus genus. Because conflicting results do exist on the importance of NV for VHSV trout pathogenicity and the NV function is still unclear, the effects of intraperitoneal injection of recombinant NV protein were studied by using home-designed immune-related microarrays from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The results were compared with parallel experiments using bacterial flagellins, a well know mammalian agonist of toll receptors (tlr5) with adjuvant activity recently described also in fish Four experimental groups were formed with four biological replicates each, 16 samples in total. First one was injected with NV recombinant protein in PBS, second one was a control group injected with PBS, the third group was injected with bacterial flagellins in PBS and the fourth group was injected with polihistidine peptide as a reference group because the recombinant proteins have a polihistidine tail. There is a technical replicate within each array.
Project description:The function of the non-virion protein (NV) of the Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) has been long questioned but it still remains unknown. We report here the differences in gene expression profiles of trouts infected with deleted NV VHSV or wild type VHSV so that it could shed some light on the issue. Eight fingerlings of rainbow trout were used for the experiment. Four of them were injected with deleted NV VHSV and the rest were injected with wild type VHSV as a control. Head kidney and spleen of each trout were collected 2 days post-injection and total RNA was extracted.
