Project description:IRF3 is one of the most critical transcription factor in down stream of pattern recognition receptors (such as toll-like receptor and RIG-I-like receptor) signalling pathway. IRF3 is known to induce the expression of type I IFN gene upon virus infection. To furter examine the role of IRF3 in virus-induced gene expression, we preformed microarray analysis in IRF3-/- peritoneal macrophages infected with VSV, and found that IRF3 suppresses the expression of Il12b gene. Peritoneal macrophages from WT of IRF3-/- B6 mice were infected with VSV(1 M.O.I. ) for 6 hous, and then subjected to microarray analysis.

Project description:Biologic functions involved in innate immune response of macrophages rely on the precise regulation of kinds of immune molecular. In the virus infection procession, the macrophages are activated following a tightly controlled genetic programme where specific sets of genes are up-regulated or down-regulated. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying VSV infection and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Mouse peritoneal macrophages were selected with/without VSV infection for 8 hours for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain expression profiles. We selected macrophages according to VSV infection at two time-points: uninfected macrophage(control) and VSV infected for 8 hour macrophages(VSV).
Project description:By performing m6A-seq analysis on the peritoneal macrophages that derived from ALKBH5-/- mice and littermate mice infected with or without vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), we want to investigate whether ALKBH5 deficiency-mediated m6A RNA methylation contributes to the regulation of its target genes expression. m6A-seq analysis revealed enriched and specific m6A peaks on the transcript of ALKBH5-targeted gene, which were substantially increased in ALKBH5-deficient peritoneal macrophages than that in wild-type cells whatever infected with or without VSV. Meanwhile we didn’t observe up-regulation of m6A signal on VSV in ALKBH5-deficient cells; and also didn't find significant difference of m6A signals on IFN-β mRNA between ALKBH5-deficient and wild type cells whatever infected with or without VSV. These demonstrated that deficiency of ALKBH5 controls viral replication by increasing the m6A modification of ALKBH5 target gene to regulate its expression.
Project description:To investigate whether and what miRNAs expression might be regulated by VSV (vesicular stomatitis virus?) challenge, we analyzed the miRNA expression profile of mouse primary peritoneal macrophages infected with VSV by using an array-based miRNA profiling. After the infection of VSV at MOI 10 for 48 h, the array revealed that many miRNAs were up-regulated in macrophages?
