Project description:We have used RNA-seq to examine mRNAs from chicken spleen and bursa of Fabricius of three different condition (non-immunized and non-heat-stressed (24 ± 1℃ for 3 h), immunized (Newcastle disease vaccine) and non-heat-stressed, and immunized and heat-stressed (36 ± 1℃ for 3 h)). To clarify how chicken immune systems responded to heat stress with and without immunization.
Project description:The NDV GM strain was used to infect DEF cells with 1moi, while an uninfected group was set up as a control. Changes in transcript levels of different genes after NDV infection of duck cells were identified by high-throughput sequencing. It is hoped to reveal the unique antiviral mechanism of waterfowl in resisting NDV infection.
Project description:Cellular proteins in central nervous system involved in avian neurotropic virus infection remains completely unknown. To investigate host gene expression profile in NDV infected SPF chicken brains, The microarray initial analysis was performed at LC-Bio (Hangzhou, China). A 44K Agilent chicken whole genome chip (43,803 probes) (Agilent Technologies, USA) was used for gene microarray analysis from F48E9-, LaSota-infected and mock-infected brains through intraocular-nasal routes.The chicken brains were collected at 5 day post infection. The significance analysis was used to evaluate the differences in gene expression. P and fold change (FC) values represent the alteration tendency of gene expression between experimental and control groups. The genes (FC>2) were input in Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis for DEGs.
Project description:To investigate the role of gene expression during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection.The NDV GM strain was used to infect DEF cells with 1moi, while an uninfected group was set up as a control.
Project description:B lymphocytes from the chicken Bursa of Fabricius were isolated and cultured in the presence of CD40L. Cells were infected with a GFP fluorescent reporter virus of the very virulent Marek's disease virus (vvMDV) strain RB-1B (RB-1B_UL47-GFP, see doi: 10.1073/pnas.1424420112). After 24h viable infected (GFPpositive) and uninfected (GFPnegative) B-cells were sort purified from these cultures. Viable B cells, purified from uninfected cultures served as control. 3x10^6 cells per sample were subjected to RNA isolation and microarray analysis. Goal of the experiment was to elucidate the reaction of chicken B cells, primary target cells of MDV upon infection with this virus.
Project description:Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has emerged as an oncolytic agent in several cancers. Previous study has shown that NDV exerts cytolytic activity in glioma, however, the underlying mechanism has not been fully uncovered. Here the cytolytic activity of NDV in glioma and the associated mechanisms have been demonstrated. Infection with NDV inhibits cell proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis in LN229 cells. Further investigation showed that cytoplasmic organelle damage and cytoplasmic vacuolation were observed in LN229 cells after NDV infection. JC-1 staining assay proved that NDV caused cell apoptosis of LN229 cells by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction. We next speculated that NDV caused LN229 cells death through inducing necroptosis, but not ferroptosis, since the Fe2+ level did not alter after NDV infection. Furthermore, the NDV-caused cell death in LN229 cells was blocked by necroptosis inhibitor Nec1. Besides, RNA-seq analysis identified the different expression genes in NDV-infected LN229 cells. OASL, an antiviral gene, has been found to be directly induced by NDV infection. We also found that knockdown of OASL enhanced NDV infection-induced LN229 cells necroptosis. In summary, two aspects about cytolytic activity of NDV in glioma have been demonstrated. NDV presented cytolytic activity in glioma cells through inducing necroptosis. Additionally, targeting OASL may provide new strategy for enhancing necroptosis of glioma cells after NDV infection.
Project description:We used a chicken immune-targeted gene array to analyse the differences in gene expression in the bursa of Fabricius from genetically resistant and susceptible animals infected with Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV).
