Identification of candidate rhinovirus C (RV-C) receptors by gene expression analysis

ABSTRACT: Members of rhinovirus C (RV-C) species are more likely to cause wheezing illnesses and asthma exacerbations compared to other rhinoviruses. The cellular receptor for these viruses was heretofore unknown. We measured gene expression (Human Gene 1.0 ST Array, Affymetrix) in two series of experiments involving cells that were either susceptible or not susceptible to RV-C infection. In one experimental series, susceptible cells included whole sinus mucosal tissue specimens (n = 5), epithelial cell suspension from sinus tissue, and nasal epithelium obtained via brushing, while non-susceptible cells included monolayers of primary undifferentiated epithelial cells and transformed cell lines (n = 5). In a second experimental series, we compared three pairs of undifferentiated and fully differentiated (ALI) sinus epithelial cell cultures. We identified a total of 12 genes upregulated in RV-C susceptible cells (represented by 14 probe sets) encoding proteins localized to plasma membrane, and/or with predicted or functionally demonstrated receptor activity, including members of the Human MHC class II, stomatin, guanine nucleotide-binding, type I cytokine and atypical chemokine receptor and cadherin protein families. Sinus and bronchial epithelial tissue samples were obtained from residual surgical specimens. Primary airway epithelial cells were cultured submerged (undifferentiated monolayers) or at air-liquid interface (fully-differentiated). Established cell lines (HeLa, NCI-H358 and WisL) were cultured submerged. Epithelial tissue samples were placed in RNAlater solution (Life Technologies) to stabilize and protect cellular RNA; cultured cells were lysed directly and total RNAs were isolated using TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies). Gene expression was analyzed using the Human Genome 1.0 ST GeneChip arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

Project description:HIV-1 infections of women are mainly acquired through female reproductive tract where cervical and vaginal epithelial cells are the first line of defense. Although HIV-1 does not directly infect epithelial cells, HIV-1 obligatorily interacts with and crosses over epithelial layer to infect susceptible target cells, mainly CD4+ T cells, in the lamina propria to initiate an infection. However, the mechanism and ramification of the interaction of HIV-1 and epithelial cells in vaginal transmission of HIV-1 remain to be elucidated. We hypothesized that cervical epithelial cells are not a passive barrier, but actively respond to HIV-1 to change mucosal milieu and facilitate HIV-1 transmission. We tested this hypothesis by studying the responses of cervical epithelial cells to HIV-1 through profiling genome-wide transcription. We found 1) cervical epithelial cells actively respond to HIV-1. Five hundred forty-three transcripts/genes in cervical epithelial cells were significantly altered in expression at four hours post exposure to HIV-1, of which many relate to important signaling pathways, such as innate immune responses, pattern recognition receptors, apoptosis, biosynthesis, and energy production, 2) HIV-1 increases the expression of CXC Chemokines (IL-8, CXCL1 and CXCL3) in cervical epithelial cells. IL-8 and CXCL1 are potent chemotactic for multinuclear neutrophils (MNP), monocytes and a minority of lymphocytes, and CXCL3 is predominant chemotactic for monocytes, 3) HIV-1 increases the expression of key inflammatory enzymes-COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that are important for homeostatic functions, and COX-2 is a key enzyme to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, key inflammatory mediators, and 4) the increased expression of IL-8 and COX-2 revealed using microarray analysis was mapped into the endocervical epithelial cells of macaques inoculated with inactivated SIV in vivo. Our date lead to a role model of epithelial cells in HIV-1 vaginal transmission, that is the axis of HIV-1, epithelial cells, proinflammatory molecules (IL-8, CXCL1, CXCL3, COX-1 and COX-2), cell recruitment (MNP, monocytes and T cells), and inflammation. This model implies that moderating epithelial proinflammatory response to HIV-1 may be utilized in prevention of HIV vaginal transmission. Human endocervical epithelial cell line, CRL-2615, was inoculated with HIV-1 ME1 and collected 4hrs post exposure. Biologically duplicated mRNAs were prepared after exposure.
