Project description:Reactivation of latent HCMV is a significant infectious complication of organ transplantation, and current therapies target viral replication once reactivation of transcriptionally silent, latent virus has already occurred. The specific molecular pathways that activate viral gene expression are not well understood. Our studies aim to identify these factors, with the goal of developing novel therapies that prevent transcriptional reactivation in transplant recipients. MCMV is a valuable model for studying latency and reactivation of CMV induced by organ transplantation. We previously demonstrated that transplantation of MCMV-latently infected kidneys into allogeneic recipients induces transcriptional reactivation of immediate early (IE) gene expression within 48 hr. We used microarrays to profile global mouse kidney gene expression associated with transcriptional reactivation of MCMV immediate early gene expression at 48 hr after transplant of MCMV latently infected kidneys into allogeneic recipients. We identified differentially expressed genes and pathways associated with both early acute rejection and reactivation of MCMV. control vs. allograft

Project description:How type I / II interferons (IFNs) prevent periodic re-emergence of latent pathogens in tissues of diverse cell-types remains unknown. Using homogenous neuron cultures latently-infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV), we show that extrinsic type I or II IFN act directly on neurons to induce unique gene expression signatures and inhibit the reactivation-specific burst of viral genome-wide transcription called Phase I. Surprisingly, IFNs suppressed reactivation only during a limited period early in Phase I preceding productive virus growth. Sensitivity to type II IFN was selectively lost if viral ICP0, which normally accumulates later in Phase I, was expressed prior to reactivation. Thus, IFNs suppress reactivation by preventing initial expression of latent genomes but are ineffective once Phase I viral proteins accumulate and limit IFN action. This demonstrates that inducible reactivation from latency is only transiently sensitive to IFNs. Moreover, it illustrates how latent pathogens escape host immune control to periodically replicate by rapidly deploying an interferon-resistant state.

Project description:Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), an important pathogen of cattle, establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurons within trigeminal ganglia (TG) after acute infection. The BoHV-1 latency-reactivation cycle, like other -herpesvirinae subfamily members, is essential for viral persistence and transmission. Notably, cells within pharyngeal tonsil (PT) also support a quiescent or latent BoHV-1 infection. The synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, which mimics the effects of stress, consistently induces BoHV-1 reactivation from latency allowing early stages of viral reactivation to be examined in the natural host. Based on previous studies, we hypothesized that stress-induced cellular factors trigger expression of key viral transcriptional regulatory genes. To explore this hypothesis, RNA-sequencing studies compared viral gene expression in PT during early stages of dexamethasone-induced reactivation from latency. Strikingly, RNA encoding infected cell protein 4 (bICP4), which is translated into an essential viral transcriptional regulatory protein, was detected 30 minutes after dexamethasone treatment. Ninety minutes after dexamethasone treatment bICP4 and to a lesser extent bICP0 RNA were detected in PT. All lytic cycle viral transcripts were detected within three hours after dexamethasone treatment. Surprisingly, the latency related (LR) gene, the only viral gene abundantly expressed in latently infected TG neurons, was not detected in PT during latency. In TG neurons, bICP0 and the viral tegument protein VP16 are expressed before bICP4 during reactivation suggesting distinct viral regulatory genes mediate reactivation from latency in PT versus TG neurons. Finally, these studies confirm PT is a biologically relevant site for BoHV-1 latency, reactivation from latency, and virus transmission.

Project description:HIV latency is a major obstacle to curing infection. Current strategies to eradicate HIV aim at increasing transcription of the latent provirus. In the present study we observed that latently infected CD4+ T cells from HIV-infected individuals failed to produce viral particles upon ex vivo exposure to SAHA (vorinostat), despite effective inhibition of histone deacetylases. To identify steps that were not susceptible to the action of SAHA or other latency reverting agents, we used a primary CD4+ T cell model, joint host and viral RNA sequencing, and a viral-encoded reporter. This model served to investigate the characteristics of latently infected cells, the dynamics of HIV latency, and the process of reactivation induced by various stimuli. During latency, we observed persistence of viral transcripts but only limited viral translation. Similarly, the reactivating agents SAHA and disulfiram successfully increased viral transcription, but failed to effectively enhance viral translation, mirroring the ex vivo data. This study highlights the importance of post-transcriptional blocks as one mechanism leading to HIV latency that needs to be relieved in order to purge the viral reservoir.

Project description:Abstract: The transcriptional program associated with herpesvirus latency and the viral genes regulating entry into and exit from latency are poorly understood and controversial. Here, we developed and validated a targeted enrichment platform and conducted large-scale transcriptome analyses of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. We used both an experimental hematopoietic cell model of latency, and cells from naturally infected, healthy human subjects (clinical) to define the breadth of viral genes expressed. The viral transcriptome derived from experimental infection was highly correlated with that from clinical infection, validating our experimental latency model. These transcriptomes revealed a broader profile of gene expression during infection in hematopoietic cells than previously appreciated. Further, using recombinant viruses that establish a non-reactivating, latent-like or replicative infection in CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors (HPCs), we defined classes of low to moderately expressed genes that are differentially regulated in latent vs. replicative states of infection. Most of these genes have yet to be studied in depth. By contrast, genes that were highly expressed, were expressed similarly in both latent and replicative infection. From these findings, a model emerges whereby low or moderately expressed genes may have the greatest impact on regulating the switch between viral latency and replication. The core set of viral genes expressed in natural infection and differentially regulated depending on the pattern of infection provides novel insight into the HCMV transcriptome associated with latency in the host and a resource for investigating new virus-host interactions underlying persistence. Significance: Herpesviruses have an extraordinarily complex relationship with their host, persisting for the lifetime of the host by way of a latent infection. Reactivation of replication is associated with significant disease risk, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. We characterize in depth transcriptional profiles of HCMV latency. We show that a broad and concordant viral transcriptome is found in both an experimental model of latency and in asymptomatically infected individuals. We further define genes that are differentially regulated during latent and replicative states- candidates for key regulators controlling the switch between latency and reactivation. This work will help understand the persistence of complex DNA viruses and provides a path towards developing antiviral strategies to control herpesvirus entry into and exit from latency.

Project description:Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation of latent infection following immune dysregulation remains a serious risk for patients, often causing significant morbidity and mortality. Herein, we demonstrate the CMV-encoded GPCR, US28, in coordination with cellular Ephrin receptor A2 (EphA2), attenuates MAPK signaling, thereby limiting viral replication in latently-infected primary monocytes. To define the underlying mechanism by which US28 modulates MAPK signaling during latency, we used two unbiased approaches to: 1) profile kinome changes in response to US28 expression, and 2) define US28 interacting partners that could influence its function(s). First, we evaluated changes in the cellular kinome in response to US28 expression in THP-1 monocytic cells compared to control cells using multiplexed kinase inhibitor beads coupled with mass spectrometry (MIB-MS) to quantitatively measure kinase expression and abundance. Next, we leveraged proximity labeling technology, whereby we inserted the biotin ligase gene, birA, conjugated to a C-terminal hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tag in-frame with the US28 ORF to generate TB40/E-mCherry-US28-bioID-HA. We then infected fibroblasts with US28-bioID-HA, added biotin 18 h prior to harvesting the cells at 48 h post-infection (hpi), and analyzed the biotin-conjugated proteins following streptavidin capture by affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS).

Project description:Despite effective treatment, HIV can persist in latent reservoirs, which represent a major obstacle towards HIV eradication. Targeting and reactivating latent cells is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of HIV infected cells. Here, we used a primary model of HIV latency and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize transcriptional heterogeneity during HIV latency and reactivation. Our analysis identified transcriptional programs leading to successful reactivation of HIV expression. We further validated our results using primary CD4+ T cells isolated from HIV+ individuals.

Project description:We proposed that the frequency of EBV reactivation may be crucial for its pathogenic role and highly recurrent EBV reactivations exert a profound influence on genome instability. Recurrent reactivations were induced in the EBV-latently infected NPC cells (NA cells) by treating with 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and sodium n-butyrate (SB) once per passage periodically. Genome-wild oligoarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technology was applied to investigate the copy-number aberrations in response for different frequencies of EBV reactivation. The results showed that the NR15 cells, NA cells with the highest frequency (15 times) of reactivation, exhibit extensive genomic copy-number alterations (CNAs) mostly involving chromosome 3p, 3q, 8p, 8q, 9p and 9q, whereas limited number of CNAs were observed both in NR1 cells where only the initial reactivation take place and NP15 cells which were culture in parallel with NR15 cells without EBV-reactivation. We concluded that it is the highly recurrent reactivations of EBV, but neither just a primary reactivation nor EBV-latent infection, may intimately involve in carcinogenesis of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells with the progressive genome instabilities and the accumulation of genetic mutations. Keywords: array-based comparative genomic hybridization, reactivation of EBV, incidence, frequency, recurrent, genome instability, copy-number alterations, carcinogenesis, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Experiment Overall Design: Samples of four sources were analyzed. The NP1 cells denoted the EBV-latently infected nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines, NA cells, with low-passage-number and mock-treated. The NR1 denoted the NA cells harboring one time of EBV reactivation. The NR15 cells denoted the NA cells harboring fifteen times of EBV reactivation. The NP15 cells denoted the NA cells cultured in parallel with NR15 (experienced 15 times of passages) without EBV-reactivation. Genomic DNAs extracted from NP15, NR1 and NR15 cells were used as experimental samples and subjected to Cy5-labeling reactions. Genomic DNAs extracted from NP1 cells were used as the common reference samples subjected to Cy3-labeling reactions. All three experiments were verified by dye-swap design where the targets labeling conditions were exchanged, NP1 labeled with Cy5, and NP15, NR1 or NR15 labeled with Cy3.
