A complex structural transcriptome of VZV, which numerous novel transcripts, transcript isoforms, and unknown splice events are found during cell infection. Circular RNA (circRNA), a newly important component of the transcriptome, is increasing discoveries of circRNA function in mammalian cells. However, VZV encoded circRNA remains unexplored.

Project description:During primary infection, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is spread via lymphocytes to skin, where it induces a rash and establishes latency in sensory ganglia. A live, attenuated varicella vaccine (vOka) was generated by using the VZV Oka strain (pOka), but the molecular basis for vOka attenuation remains unknown. Little is known concerning the effects of wild-type or attenuated VZV on cellular gene regulation in the host cells that are critical for pathogenesis. In this study, transcriptional profiles of primary human T cells and fibroblasts infected with VZV in cell culture were determined by using 40,000-spot human cDNA microarrays. Cellular gene transcription in human skin xenografts in SCID mice that were infected with VZV in vivo was also evaluated. The profiles of cellular gene transcripts that were induced or inhibited in infected human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs), T cells, and skin in response to pOka and vOka infection were similar. However, significant alterations in cellular gene regulation were observed among the three differentiated human cell types that were examined, suggesting specific differences in the biological consequences of VZV infection related to the target cell. Changes in cellular gene transcription detected by microarray analysis were confirmed for selected genes by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis of VZV-infected cells. Interestingly, the transcription of caspase 8 was found to be decreased in infected T cells but not in HFFs or skin, which may signify a tissue-specific antiapoptosis mechanism. The use of microarrays to demonstrate differences in effects on host cell genes in primary, biologically relevant cell types provides background information for experiments to link these various response phenotypes with mechanisms of VZV pathogenesis that are important for the natural course of human infection.

In this study we demonstration that VZV derived circRNAs are biologically functional and contributed to viral pathogenesis. Using deep RNA-seq following RNase R treatment, we identified and charactered 35, 076 and 54 human and VZV pOka strain circRNAs respectively from VZV infected neuroblastoma cell (SH-SY5Y).

Project description:We applied the high-throughput interaction assay SORTCERY to measure thousands of protein-peptide binding affinities and used the data to parameterize models of the peptide-binding landscape for three members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. We applied the models to design peptides that bound with high affinity and specificity to just one of Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, or Bfl-1. We designed additional peptides that bound selectively to two out of three of these proteins. The raw data provided are the multiplexed fastq files that serve as inputs to our analysis pipeline. Additional detail is available in our corresponding publication and at the following github repository. https://github.com/KeatingLab/sortcery_design

Project description:The highly conserved herpesvirus glycoprotein complex, gB/gH-gL, mediates membrane fusion during virion entry and cell-cell fusion. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) characteristically forms multi-nucleated cells, or syncytia, during the infection of human tissues but little is known about this process. The cytoplasmic domain of VZV gB (gBcyt) has been implicated in cell-cell fusion regulation because a gB[Y881F] substitution causes hyperfusion. The gBcyt regulation is necessary for VZV pathogenesis as the hyperfusogenic mutant gB[Y881F] is severely attenuated in human skin xenografts. In this study, gBcyt regulated fusion was investigated by comparing melanoma cells infected with wild type-like VZV or hyperfusogenic mutants. The gB[Y881F] mutant exhibited dramatically accelerated syncytia formation in melanoma cells caused by fusion of infected cells with many uninfected cells, increased cytoskeleton reorganization and rapid displacement of nuclei to dense central structures when compared to pOka using live cell confocal microscopy. VZV and human transcriptomes were concurrently investigated using RNA-seq to identify viral and cellular responses induced when the gBcyt regulation was disrupted by the gB[Y881F] substitution. The expression of four vital VZV genes, ORF61 and glycoproteins, gC, gE and gI, was significantly reduced at 36 hours post infection for the hyperfusogenic mutants. Importantly, hierarchical clustering demonstrated an association of differential gene expression with dysregulated gBcyt-mediated fusion. A subset of Ras GTPase genes linked to membrane remodeling were upregulated in cells infected with the hyperfusogenic mutants. These data implicate the gBcyt in the regulation gB fusion function that, if unmodulated, triggers cellular processes leading to hyperfusion that attenuates VZV infection.

Project description:To identify host factors that influence the immunogenicity of the attenuated VZV pOka vaccine strain and the efficacy of VZV vaccination, we immunized 39 individuals aged 50 to 75 years, including 9 monozygotic twin pairs. We measured VZV-specific T cell frequencies by IFN-γ–specific ELISpot, and VZV-specific antibody titers by ELISA. Whole gene expression arrays were performed on vaccinees before (n=28) and one (n=18) or three days (n=10) after vaccination. Cell-specific gene expression profiles were generated by deconvolution using previously described algorithms. Only very few neutrophil- and lymphocyte-related genes changed in expression from day 0 to 1. Significant changes for monocyte-related genes were found, but even here the number of probes with a significant change was low after adjusting for false discovery. When expression changes in monocyte-derived genes were analyzed for their correlation with T cell responses, we identified 493 probes corresponding to 479 genes that correlated with generation of VZV-specific effector T cells and 641 probes corresponding to 621 genes that correlated with the subsequent contraction phase with p<0.05. Interestingly, these two sets of genes were significantly overlapping, i.e., the same changes that were positively or negatively correlated with expansion inversely predicted contraction; their effects therefore cancelled out in determining net benefit in memory cell generation.
