A broad RNA virus survey reveals dependence on host miRNAs and specific sequestration modulating the cellular transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Small non-coding RNAs have emerged as key players in modulation of viral infection. A unique example is the critical dependence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the liver-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-122, which has surfaced as therapeutic target. Here, we used crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) of the Argonaute (AGO) protein to characterize strengths and specificities of miRNA interactions across 15 viral genomes. Intriguingly, replication of pestiviruses, which are major threats to milk and meat industry, critically depends on cellular miR-17 and let-7 interactions with the viral 3âUTR. Like HCV, miRNA binding enhanced translation and prevented viral RNA degradation. On the cellular transcriptome, pestiviral miR-17 sequestration in vitro and ex vivo conferred reduced AGO binding and functional mRNA de-repression for miR-17 targets. These findings generalize the concept of RNA virus dependence on cellular miRNAs, highlight such interactions as therapeutic targets, and connect functional regulation of the transcriptome in primary cells to miRNA sequestration. Several subseries of analyses were performed. For each sample, subseries to which it belongs are indicated. In the âVirus AGO-CLIPâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on cells infected with virus as indicated. Processed reads were aligned to the host genome (hg18 or BosTau7) and to the respective viral genome. The primary data of interest from this subseries concerns AGO binding to viral RNA, and is given as processed data file âTable S1â. In the âVirus AGO-CLIP: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of BVDV and mock infected MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. In addition, differential analysis of AGO bound miRNAs was performed. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S3 and S4â. In the âAGO-CLIP: tinyLNA-17 vs. Mockâ AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of tinyLNA-17 and mock treated MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S5â. In the âRNA-seq: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, mRNA-seq was performed on two replicates each of MDBK cells infected with different biotypes of BVDV or with miR-17 seed site mutant BVDV. The latter (incl. mock controls) were trans-complemented with the corresponding mutated miR-17. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between selected conditions. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S6â.

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection causes an immune-mediated disease. We have recently shown that SARS-CoV-induced epithelial Calu-3 cytokines could exacerbate and dampen host inflammatory and T cell responses, respectively, through modulating the functions of macrophages and dendritic cells, thereby suggesting that not only are lung epithelial cells the primary cells of SARS-CoV infection, but they also involve in initiating and orchestrating the host innate and adaptive immunity. Comprehensive evaluation of the complex epithelial signaling to SARS-CoV is, thus, crucial for paving the way to better understand SARS pathogenesis and develop the innovative therapeutics against SARS. Here, based on the microarray-based functional genomics, we reported that 2B4 cells, a clonal derivative of Calu-3 cells, elicited a temporal and spatial activation of nuclear factor (NF)kappaB, activator protein (AP)-1 (ATF2/c-Jun), and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3/-7 at 12-, 24-, and 48-hrs post infection (p.i.), respectively, resulting in the activation of many antiviral genes, including interferon (IFN)-Î², -Î»s, SARS-related inflammatory mediators, and various IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). While elevated responses of IFN-Î² and IFN-Î»s were not detected until 48-hrs p.i., as a consequence of a delayed IRF-3/-7 activation, we showed, for the first time, that both types of IFNs exerted previously under-described non-redundant, complementary, and/or synergistic effects on the epithelial defense against SARS-CoV. Collectively, our results highlight the molecular mechanisms of the sequential activation of virus- and IFN-dependent signaling of lung epithelial cells against SARS-CoV and identify novel cellular targets for future studies, aiming at advancing strategies against SARS. DNA microarrays were performed in the Molecular Genomics (MG) Core Facilities at UTMB. The detailed information about the procedures of microarray analysis has been posted on the MG Core Facilities website (genomics@scms.utmb.edu). To characterize the dynamic, spatial, and temporal changes of the gene expression induced by SARS-CoV, confluent 2B4 cells grown in T-75 flasks were infected with SARS-CoV (MOI=0.1) or remained uninfected (as control) for 12, 24, and 48hrs. Because 2B4 cells were also permissive to the productive infection of Dhori virus (DHOV), a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family within the Thogotovirus genus, resulting in robust responses of IFNs and other pro-inflammatory mediators, we also established parallel cultures of DHOV-infected 2B4 cells (MOI=0.1) for the comparative analysis of global gene expression elicited by SARS-CoV- versus DHOV-infected 2B4 cells. To meet the minimal number required for application of statistical algorithms, we performed the study in triplicate at each time point for mock-, SARS-CoV-, and DHOV-infected cultures, yielding a total of 27 arrays. Briefly, supernatants were harvested from differentially treated cultures at 12-, 24-, and 48-hrs p.i. for subsequent analyses of viral yields and cytokine profiling, whereas the cells were subjected to total RNA extraction by using an RNAqueous-4PCR kit and following the protocol recommended by the manufacturer (Ambion, Austin, TX). Purified RNA samples were sent to our core facility for conversion to cDNA, biotin-labeled, and hybridized to 27 Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 âGene Chipsâ each of which contained 54,675 probe set identifiers representing more than ~47,400 transcripts that identify ~38,500 well-characterized genes, and various internal controls (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Mock-infected cells were compared to cells infected with SARS-CoV or DHOV at each time point.

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line with overexpression of p27, because p21 and p27 belong to the same gene family and regulated the same genes specially in cell cycle. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated by p21 and not p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. We chose human primary keratinocytes because they are non-tumorigenic, non-immortalized and epithelial cells, in contrast to human myeloid leukemia K562 cells. Human primary keratinocytes were infected with recombinant adenoviruses expressing the full-length p21 protein. A dramatic increase in p21 in infected keratinocytes was demonstrated by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). As controls, we also infected the keratinocytes with adenovirus carrying the genes for p27 which overexpression was also confirmed by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 24 h after infection and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27 in cell cycle and mitosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter. Finally, we have discussed in our manuscript how p21 can do this regulation by bioinformatic analysis of p21-target genes. The success of this study is to describe a new role of p21 as a transcriptional co-repressor in some systems.

Project description:Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is the major agent that causes severe iridovirus diseases in grouper maricluture. Based on the genomic information, a DNA microarray, containing probes corresponding to 162 putative SGIV open reading frames (ORFs), was constructed to map the viral gene transcriptional profiles over the time course by establishing the models of SGIV-infected GS cells and SGIV-infected grouper. All the data from real-time RT-PCR, RT-PCR and dilution RT-PCR assays were confirmed with the findings of microarrays, which were clustered into groups with the similarity expression profiles by the Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) approach. The microarray analysis showed that SGIV had big differential expression profiles in the special infected cells and organ and the viral DNA replication mechanisms were firstly prevented as an important strategy of the host defense during the natural course infection.Our studies firstly uncover the relative of a marine viral gene expression patterns between in vitro and in vivo infection, which provides a better understanding of SGIV transcription regulation and a greater degree shared with other iridoviruses on their repliaction and pathogenesis. Keywords: time course To further characterize SGIV gene expression patterns and to monitor the gene temporal kinetic transcription program on a genome-wide scale, we monitored viral gene expression profiles in vitro and in vivo infection.For the experiment of infection in vitro, GS cell monolayers cultured in 75cm2 flask were inoculated with 1ml of SGIV (5.0 Ã105.5 TCID50/ml) at 25oC. The mock-infected cells (as reference samples) were treated in the same manner as SGIV-infected cells but with fresh culture medium. Total RNA was isolated from the cells at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-infection (h p.i.), respectively. For the experiment of infection in vivo, Grouper Epinephelus tauvina juveniles with approximately 40-50 g were experimentally infected with 150 Âµl of the SGIV inoculum (5.0Ã105.5 TCID50/ml) and held in tanks supplied with running seawater at 25oC. Control fishes were injected with the same volume of EMEM. Total RNA was harvested from the spleens of 5 fishes randomly selected from the experimental population at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 15 days post-infection (d p.i.). Total RNA from the spleens of 35 mock-infected fishes was used as reference samples. After visual inspection for the presence of image artifacts, such as scratches, dirt, contamination, high region, or overall background on the array, the scanned images were saved as TIF files and further analyzed to generate raw data using SpotDataTM software (CapitalBio). After filtering the low-intensity spots and background-noise value, a global scaling procedure was performed to normalize among the different arrays and the different channels of same arrays using housekeeping gene of piscine 18S RNA which was also spotted in triplicate. To estimate the variance result from dye-bias, a swap-dye strategy was used for the virus-infected and mock-infected samples at 48 h p.i.
