Project description:Infectious bronchitis is a highly contagious respiratory disease of poultry caused by the coronavius infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Until recently is was thought that coronavirus virions were composed of the structural proteins nucleocapsid, envelope, spike and membrane proteins, but investigations of TGEV and SARS-CoV have shown the proteome of coronavirus virions also includes viral non-structural and group specific proteins as well as host cell proteins. To study the proteome of IBV virions, virus was grown in embryonated chicken eggs and purified by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Purified virus was analysed using sensitive gel-free proteomic techniques to determine the proteome of IBV. Analysis of three preparations of purified IBV yielded a list of 39 proteins commonly associated with the IBV virion. Three of these proteins were the viral structural proteins spike, membrane and nucleocapsid, but none of the viral non-strucutral or groups specific proteins could be identified. The other 35 proteins commonly associated to the IBV virion were all found to be host cell proteins. These proteins were classified into 12 categories using pantherdb (pantherdb.org). These proteins were involved in a diverse range of functions such as cytoskeletal proteins, nucleic acid binding proteins and chaperone proteins. Some of these proteins were unique to this study, whilst others were found to be orthologous to proteins identified in the SARS-CoV protein, and indeed some were also identified in association with virions from a number of other RNA and DNA viruses.
Project description:The underlying molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and outcome of disease to different pathotypes of H5N1 influenza infection in ducks remain unclear. For that, we studied genome wide host gene expression of lung tissues infected with A/duck/India/02CA10/2011(AD2011) H5N1 virus and A/duck/Tripura/103597/2008 (AD2008) H5N1 virus in ducks using custom designed microarray. AD2011 is highly pathogenic whereas AD2008 is low pathogenic to ducks. Comparative analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that 688 genes were commonly expressed, 877 and 1556 genes are uniquely expressed to infection with AD2011 and AD2008 virus isolate, respectively. The up-regulation of cytokines genes OAS, IL1B, IL17, IFITM2, CCL4, CXCR4, STAT3, TGFB1 and TGFB2 in the lungs tissues may cause high mortality in ducks infected with AD2011 virus. The expression of important antiviral immune genes IFIT5, IFITM5, RSAD2, EIF2AK2 (PKR), Mx, β-defensins, TRIM23 and SLC16A3 to AD2008 infection, but not in AD2011 infection, cause the host may fine-tune their innate immune responses and prevent from cytokines storms and tissue damage. Several immune related Gene ontology (GO) terms and immune pathways activated were qualitatively similar but quantitatively different to both virus infections. Based on these findings, we conclude that subtle differences in host immune responses may determine the different outcome of H5N1 infection in ducks.

Project description:The M-bM-^@M-^\Spanish influenzaM-bM-^@M-^] of 1918 claimed an unprecedented number of lives, yet the determinants of virulence for this virus are still not fully understood. Here, we used functional genomics and an in vitro human lung epithelial cell infection model to define the global host transcriptional response to the eight-gene 1918 virus. To better understand the role of the 1918 virus NS1 gene, we evaluated the host response to A/Texas/36/91 (a seasonal isolate of human influenza virus) and a reassortant of A/Texas/36/91 containing the 1918 NS1 gene. A549 cells were infected at a MOI=2 with either A/Texas/36/91 (Tx/91) or A/Texas/36/91 (Tx/91) containing the NS1 gene from r1918 influenza. Virus was allowed to bind to cells for 1 h at 4M-BM-0C in serum-free infection medium supplemented with trypsin (1 g/ml). Mock-infected cells were treated with allantoic fluid instead of virus. Three replicate wells were used for each infection condition at each time point. Cells were harvested for array analysis at 2, 6, and 24hr post-infection. Cells from three individual cultures were pooled for each condition for microarray.
Project description:This study is planned to characterize the proteome profile of HPAI H5N1 virus infected chicken lung tissues to identify the molecular pathogenesis and proteomic determinant associate with disease progression in susceptible host.
Project description:Utilisation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is an important aspect of post-transcriptional regulation of viral RNA. Viruses such as influenza A viruses (IAV) interact with RBPs to regulate processes including splicing, nuclear export and trafficking, while also encoding RBPs within their genomes, such as NP and NS1. But with almost 1000 RBPs encoded within the human genome it is still unclear what role, if any, many of these proteins play during viral replication. Using the RNA interactome capture (RIC) technique, we isolated RBPs from IAV infected cells to unravel the RBPome of mRNAs from IAV infected human cells. This led to the identification of one particular RBP, MKRN2, that associates with and positively regulates IAV mRNA. Through further validation, we determined that MKRN2 is involved in the nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking of IAV mRNA likely through an association with the RNA export mediator GLE1. In the absence of MKRN2, IAV mRNAs accumulate in the nucleus of infected cells, which we suspect leads to their degradation by the nuclear RNA exosome complex. MKRN2, therefore, appears to be required for the efficient nuclear export of IAV mRNAs in human cells.
Project description:Discovery of novel host-virus interactions leads to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying infection and points to potential therapeutic targets at the interface between virus and host proteins. Recently, global, virus-host interaction networks have been mapped using affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) approaches, but these studies do not provide information about dynamic remodeling of host complexes during infection. Here, we describe a novel quantitative proteomics approach in the context of HIV infection to unravel dynamics of the Cullin RING E3 ligase 5 (CRL5) complex, which is hijacked by HIV Vif to degrade the viral restriction factor of the APOBEC3 family. Generating a dynamic and quantitative interaction network of CRL5 under various infection conditions, we identify the E3 ligase ARIH2 as novel regulator of APOBEC3G degradation, which is essential for HIV infectivity in primary CD4+ T-cells. ARIH2 acts in a “tag-team” mechanism that accelerates ubiquitin chain formation on APOBEC3G through CUL5Vif/CBFß by priming the substrate with mono-ubiquitination. Finally, our data suggest a general role for ARIH2 in CRL5 substrate ubiquitination in host cells.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to examine the biological properties of reassortant viruses between the 1918 virus and a contemporary human H1N1 virus to determine the role of hemagglutinin (HA) and the viral RNA polymerase complex of 1918 virus toward pathogenesis and abberant host responses in mice. Six- to eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were anesthetized and inoculated with 50 μl of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Mock) or with 10^6 pfu of virus in a 50 μl volume. There are a total of six biological conditions: wild-type 1918 virus (A/Brevig Mission/1/1918; 1918), wild-type K173 virus (A/Kawasaki/173/2001; K173), three reassortant viruses between 1918 and K173 viruses [1918HA/K173, 1918PB1/K173, and 1918(3P+NP)/K173], and mock-infected control animals. Nine animals per virus group were inoculated, and whole lungs were collected at 1, 3 and 5 days post-inoculation from three animals per virus group per time point. Two of three mice inoculated with 1918 virus and 1918HA/K173 virus died by day 5 post-inoculation. Six animals were inoculated with PBS. Whole lungs from two mock-infected animals per time point were collected and served as the uninfected reference. All samples were processed for lung gene expression analysis using oligonucleotide microarrays. Technical replicates were performed for 9 samples.
Project description:This study used virological, histological, and global gene expression data to compare the virulence of two 2009 pH1N1 isolates from human (A/California/04/2009) and swine (A/swine/Alberta/25/2009) to that of a 1918-like classical swine influenza virus (A/swine/Iowa/1930) in a pig model of infection. The overall goal of this study was to characterize the clinical, histological, virological and global gene expression responses to three distinct influenza A isolates in an experimental pig model of influenza infection. We compared the pathogenesis of two pH1N1 viruses, one derived from a human patient (A/CA/04/09 [CA09]) and the other from swine (A/swine/Alberta/25/2009 [Alb09]), with that of the 1918-like classical swine influenza virus (A/swine/Iowa/1930 [IA30]) in the pig model. Both pH1N1 isolates induced clinical symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, decreased activity, fever, and labored breathing in challenged pigs, but IA30 virus did not cause any clinical symptoms except fever. Although both the pH1N1 viruses and the IA30 virus caused lung lesions, the pH1N1 viruses were shed from the nasal cavities of challenged pigs whereas the IA30 virus was not. Microarray was used to assess global gene expression in the lungs at 3 and 5 days post-infection. Crossbred pigs fwere obtained from a healthy herd free of SIV and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. These studies included two experiments: the classical H1N1 SIV (IA30) study was completed at Kansas State University's biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) facility in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Kansas State University, and the pH1N1 virus study was completed at the Central States Research Center (CSRC), Inc., BSL-3 facility (Oakland, NE), in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at CSRC. In each experiment, 10 pigs were inoculated with noninfectious cell culture supernatant as controls. For the classical H1N1 SIV experiment, 10 4-week-old crossbred pigs were inoculated intratracheally with 10^6 50% tissue culture infective doses (TCID50)/pig of egg-derived IA30 virus. For the pH1N1 virus experiment, 10 4-week-old crossbred pigs were inoculated intratracheally with 10^6 TCID50/pig of either egg-derived CA/09 or Alb/09 virus. Five animals per group were euthanized at 3 and 5 days postinfection (dpi), respectively.
