Project description:The innate immune response is the first line of defense against pathogens, and factors that control this cellular response represent targets for treating both infectious and inflammatory diseases. Here, we reveal a novel role for the human helicase SETX, also previously implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS4) and ataxia with oculomotor apraxia (AOA2), in controlling the magnitude of the antiviral response. Cells depleted for SETX and AOA2 patient-derived SETX-null cells show increased expression of antiviral mediators in response to infection. Mechanistically, this effect is achieved through SETX-mediated inhibition of RNAPII transcription of antiviral genes, and depends on SETX helicase activity. Our results suggest that SETX helps maintain the delicate balance between controlling viral infection and avoiding the potentially detrimental effects of an excessive antiviral response. More broadly, the observation that SETX can regulate the transcriptional activity of specific genes may have important implications for disorders where SETX function is compromised. A549 cells that were transfected with either control non-targeting or SETX-specific siRNAs were infected with the Influenza A virus (A/PR/8/34(ΔNS1) strain) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 for 4 hours. Nuclei were then extracted and used to prepare Global Run-On Sequencing (GRO-seq) libraries.
Project description:Mice were immunized with either formalin fixed Influenza A/PR/8/34 (Killed PR8), the 2006-2007 seasonal influenza vaccine, the 2007-2008 seasonal influenza vaccine, a sublethal infection (live PR8) or mock immunized (PBS). Array data was used to distinguish the immunogens from each other and predict which of the three inactivated vaccines would be protective against A/PR/8/34 challenge.

Array data was used to distinguish the immunogens from each other and predict which of the three inactivated vaccines would be protective against A/PR/8/34 challenge. two replicates of each peptide was printed on 1 CIM_10kv3 peptide microarray. One microarray were tested for each sample. Image was qualified using in-house metrics for quality assurance.
