Project description:JEV is a neurotropic pathogen that causes lethal encephalitis in humans. The high susceptibility and massive proliferation of JEV in neurons lead to neuronal damage and dramatical inflammation in central nerves system (CNS). However, the mechanisms by which JEV preferentially infects neurons and induces massive neuroinflammation are largely unknown. Here, we found that JEV mainly distributed in cerebral cortex, striatum and thalamus in brain of infected mice, indicating the tissue or cell type bias. Cells in these regions of JEV-infected mice showing different symptoms (mild, moderate and severe) were isolated and subjected to scRNA-seq. 88000 single cells were obtained based on top differentially expressed genes, and 34 clusters and 10 major cell types were identified. As demonstrated by scRNA-seq and flow-cytometry assay, activated microglia cells and infiltrating immune cells including monocyte & macrophage, T cells and NK cells which are responsible for inflammatory response were increased in JEV-infected brain in a symptom severity-dependent manner. Furthermore, the subclusters of these cells and the cell-cell interaction network were analyzed. More communications between individual cells and significant increase in ligand receptor pairs associated with tight junctions, chemokines and antigen-presenting molecules were shown in JEV-infected mouse brain, suggesting upregulation of cellular permeability, inflammation and antiviral response. To identify which subtype(s) of neurons is/are targeted by JEV, 27874 neuronal cells were reclustered to 15 subsets. By analyzing the correlation between the expression of JEV E gene and neuronal genes, we found that Baiap2high neurons are highly permissive to JEV.

Project description:Mild vs. severe psoriasis vulgaris is often distinguished by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index. It is widely assumed that severe psoriasis involves higher levels of skin inflammation, but comparative molecular profiles of mild vs. severe disease have not been previously performed. In this study, we used gene arrays to phenotype North American patients with mild psoriasis vs. severe psoriasis.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a complex multifactorial biological phenomenon that plays essential roles in aging, and aging-related diseases. During this process, the senescent cells undergo gene expression altering and chromatin structure remodeling. However, studies on the epigenetic landscape of senescence using integrated multi-omics approaches are limited. In this research, we performed ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and ChIP-seq on different senescent types to reveal the landscape of senescence and identify the prime regulatory elements.

Project description:In addition to manipulating cellular homeostasis and survivability, autophagy also plays a crucial role in numerous viral infections. In this study, we discover that Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection results in the accumulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II (LC3-II) protein and GFP-LC3 puncta in vitro and an increase in autophagosomes/autolysosomes in vivo. The fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes is essential for virus replication. Knockdown of autophagy-related genes reduced JEV replication in vitro, as indicated by viral RNA and protein levels. We also note that JEV infection in autophagy-impaired cells displayed active caspases cleavage and cell death. Moreover, we find that JEV induces higher type I interferon (IFN) activation in cells deficient in autophagy-related genes as the cells exhibited increased phosphorylation and dimerization of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) aggregation. Finally, we find that autophagy is indispensable for efficient JEV replication even in an IFN-defective background. Overall, our studies provide the first description of the mechanism of the autophagic innate immune signaling pathway during JEV infection.

Project description:The cause of acute encephalitis/meningoencephalitis in pediatric patients remains often unexplained despite extensive investigations for large panel of pathogens. To explore a possible viral implication, we investigated the virome of cerebrospinal fluid specimens of 70 febrile pediatric inpatients with clinical compatible encephalitis/meningoencephalitis. Using viral metagenomics, we detected and genetically characterized three novel human Torque teno mini virus (TTMV) species (TTMV-G1-3). Phylogenetically, TTMV-G1-3 clustered in three novel monophyletic lineages within genus Betatorquevirus of the Anelloviridae family. TTMV-G1-3 were highly prevalent in diseased children, but absent in the healthy cohort which may indicate an association of TTMV species with febrile illness. With 2/3 detected malaria co-infection, it remains unclear if these novel anellovirus species are causative agents or increase disease severity by interaction with malaria parasites. The presence of the viruses 28 days after initiating antimalarial and/or antibiotic treatment suggests a still active viral infection likely as effect of parasitic and/or bacterial co-infection that may have initiated a modulated immune system environment for viral replication or a defective virus clearance. This study increases the current knowledge on the genetic diversity of TTMV and strengthens that human anelloviruses can be considered as biomarkers for strong perturbations of the immune system in certain pathological conditions.

Project description:While SARS-CoV-2 infection has pleiotropic and systemic effects in some patients, many others experience milder symptoms. We sought a holistic understanding of the severe/mild distinction in COVID-19 pathology, and its origins. We performed a whole-blood preserving single-cell analysis protocol to integrate contributions from all major cell types including neutrophils, monocytes, platelets, lymphocytes and the contents of serum. Patients with mild COVID-19 disease display a coordinated pattern of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression across every cell population and these cells are systemically absent in patients with severe disease. Severe COVID-19 patients also paradoxically produce very high anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers and have lower viral load as compared to mild disease. Examination of the serum from severe patients demonstrates that they uniquely produce antibodies that functionally block the production of the mild disease-associated ISG-expressing cells, by engaging conserved signaling circuits that dampen cellular responses to interferons. Overzealous and auto-directed antibody responses pit the immune system against itself in many COVID-19 patients and this defines targets for immunotherapies to allow immune systems to provide viral defense.
