Single-cell transcriptional analysis of murine norovirus infection in a human intestinal cell line.

ABSTRACT: Noroviruses are a major agent of acute gastroenteritis in humans, but host cell requirements for efficient replication in vitro have not been established. We engineered a human intestinal cell line (designated mCD300lf-hCaco2) expressing the murine norovirus (MNV) receptor, mouse CD300lf to become fully permissive for MNV replication. To explore the replicative machinery and host response of these cells, we performed a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) transcriptomics analysis of an MNV infection over time. Marked similarities were observed between certain global features of MNV infection in human cells compared to those previously reported in mouse cells by whole population transcriptomics such as downregulation of ribosome biogenesis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell cycle
