Project description:To examine the fundamental immunity in bats, particularly the status of their innate immune system in the basal healthy state, we profile Pteropus alecto bat tissue with Deep NGS coverage. This is coupled to a paired experiment where bats were stimulated in vivo with various PRR ligands to activate immune pathways.

Project description:We report transcript abundance in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) upon Rickettsia parkeri infection and treatment with type I interferon (IFN-I). Infections and IFN-I treatment were performed in parallel between WT BMDMs and BMDMs lacking genes encoding interferon-responsive factor (IRF) transcription factors, including IRF1, IRF5, and double mutant cells lacking both IRF3 and IRF7. Control cells were uninfected and not treated with IFN-I. The abundance of transcripts between these cells can be compared in order to identify genes specifically regulated by each IRF upon IFN-I treatment.

Project description:Transcription factor paralogs may share a common role (e.g. Hox) in staged or overlapping expression in specific tissues. In other examples, members have distinct roles in a range of embryologic, differentiation or response pathways (e.g. Tbx, Pax). For the Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) family of transcription factors, mice deficient in Irf1, Irf2, Irf3, Irf4, Irf5, Irf7, Irf8 or Irf9, have defects in the immune response but display no embryologic abnormalities. Mice deficient for Irf6 have not been reported, but in humans, mutations in IRF6 cause two Mendelian orofacial clefting syndrome, and genetic variation in IRF6 confers risk for isolated cleft lip and palate. Mice deficient for Irf6 have abnormal skin, limb and craniofacial development. Histological and gene expression analyses indicate that the primary defect is in keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation. This study describes a novel role for an IRF family member in epidermal development. Experiment Overall Design: Skin from E17.5 mice was removed and flash frozen for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Bats are natural reservoirs for a large range of emerging viruses that cause lethal diseases in humans and domestic animals, but remain asymptomatic in bats. Understanding the host-pathogen interactions relies on the availability of relevant models including susceptible cells, derived from viral target tissues. To obtain bat cell types pertinent for the study of viral infection, we applied somatic reprogramming approach to Pteropus primary cells as initial substrates. Using the novel combination of three transcription factors: ESRRB, CDX2 and c-MYC, we generated reprogrammed cells exhibiting stem cells features.

Project description:We previously identified a subset of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), including Irf7, Irf1, Oas1a and Oas1b, upregulated by a West Nile virus (WNV) infection in wildtype mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) after viral proteins had inhibited type 1 interferon (IFN)-mediated JAK-STAT signaling and also in WNV-infected STAT1-/-, STAT2-/-, IFNAR-/-, IRF3-/-, IRF7-/-, and IRF3/7-/- MEFs. In this study, ISG upregulation by WNV infection was inhibited in RIG-I/MDA5-/- but not in single knockout MEFs. ISGs upregulation was detected in WNV-infected IRF1-/- and IRF5-/- but was minimal in IRF3/5/7-/- MEFs, suggesting redundant IRF involvement. ISG upregulation by WNV infection in IFNAR-/- MEFs was confirmed by RNA-seq. We previously showed that a single proximal interferon stimulated response element (ISRE) in the Oas1a and Oas1b promoters bound the ISGF3 complex during IFN-dependent upregulation. In this study, we used wild-type and mutant promoter luciferase reporter constructs to identify critical regions in the Oas1b and Ifit1 promoters for IFN-independent transcriptional regulation. Two ISREs were required for both promoters. Mutation of these ISREs in an Ifit1 promoter DNA probe reduced in vitro complex formation. An NF-κB inhibitor decreased Ifit1 promoter activity in cells and in vitro complex formation. IRF3 and p50 binding was detected by ChIP for four upregulated ISGs with two proximal ISREs in their promoters. The data indicate that IFN-independent ISG expression of some ISGs is upregulated by two ISREs functioning cooperatively and the binding of a complex consisting of IRF3, 5, and/or 7 and an NF-κB component(s) as well as other as yet unknown factors.

Project description:The interferon regulatory factors IRF3 and IRF7 are key players in the regulation of type I and III IFN genes. In this study, we analyzed the role of IRF3 and IRF7 for the host response to influenza A virus infections in Irf3-/-, Irf7-/- and Irf3-/-Irf7-/- knock-out mice.

Project description:To investigate the role of the IRF family in the regulation of interferon stimulated genes, we conducted CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing of Irf3, Irf7 or Irf9 in sgScd2 Th1 cells. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of control, sgScd2, sgScd2/sgIrf3, sgScd2/sgIrf7 or sgScd2/sgIrf9 Th1 cells.

Project description:Bats are reservoirs of a number of highly pathogenic human viruses, yet they remain relatively asymptomatic during infection. Whether this viral resistance is due to a unique immune system is unknown. An evolutionarily conserved feature of vertebrate antiviral immunity is the interferon (IFN) response, which triggers cellular defenses through interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression. While bats encode an intact IFN system, global ISG expression patterns in bat cells are not well characterized. Here, we used RNA-Seq to assess the transcriptional response to IFNα in cells derived from the bat Pteropus alecto (black flying fox). We show induction of more than 100 transcripts, most of which are canonical ISGs observed in other species. Kinetic gene profiling revealed that P. alecto ISGs fall into two unique temporal subclusters with similar early induction kinetics but distinct late-phase declines. In contrast to bat ISGs, human ISGs generally remained elevated for longer periods following IFN treatment, suggesting host-based differences in gene regulatory mechanisms. Notably, we also identified a small group of non-canonical bat ISGs, including an enzymatically active RNASEL. These studies provide insight into the innate immune response of an important viral reservoir and lay a foundation for studies into the immunological features that may underlie a unique virus-host relationship in bats.
