Project description:ZIC2 is required for the maintenance of KSHV latency in human host cells. To understand the molecular action of ZIC2, we map ZIC2 binding sites across the KSHV genome in BCBL-1 cells using ChIP-Seq analysis.
Project description:KSHV K8 is required for KSHV DNA replication and is found to be an RNA binding protein. To understand the molecular mechanism of K8 in regulation of DNA replication, we examine the binding RNAs of K8 protein in BCBL-1 cells using CLIP-Seq analysis.
Project description:Expression profiling of latently infected cells using a custom tiling microarray HUVEC and TIME cells were infected BCBL-1-derived KSHV. Mock infected HUVEC and TIME cells served as controls for each of these two stably infected cells, respectively. BJAB cells served as uninfected controls for the BCBL-1 cells. KSHV-infected cells are induced to enter lytic cycle with valproate or Adenovirus-RTA. Cells were harvested at indicated time points and analyzed. Three condition experiment: mock infected, latently infected cells and lytically infected. Three cell types (BJAB cells served as uninfected controls for the BCBL-1 cells).

Project description:Purpose: miR-Seq was utilised to identify miRNAs which are altered during the course of KSHV lytic replication at 0, 16 and 24 hours post reactivation in TREx-BCBL1-RTA cells. Methods: Virus lytic replication was induced via addition of 2 µg/mL doxycycline hyclate (Sigma-Aldrich). Total RNA was extracted from TREx-BCBL-1s at 0, 16 and 24 hours post lytic induction. Small RNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Small RNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina). Quality filtered (Q < 20), and adapter trimmed reads (Trimmomatic v0.39) [59] were aligned to the GRCh38/hg38 assembly of the human genome using Bowtie2 (V 2.4.2).
Project description:[original title] Mock or latently infected KSHV cells (BCBL, SLK and HFF) vs common reference (mixture of RNA from both infected and uninfected cells). Expression profiling of latently infected cells using a custom tiling microarray. SLK and HFF cells were infected and selected for rKSHV.219. Mock infected SLK and HFF cells served as controls for each of these two stably infected cells, respectively. BJAB cells served as uninfected controls for the BCBL-1 cells. Biological replicates were harvested and analyzed.

Project description:Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) ORF57 is a viral RNA-binding protein essential for viral lytic gene expression. ORF57 binds to target RNA directly via interaction with cellular cofactors. To investigate the entire repertoire of ORF57-associated RNAs we performed UV cross-linking immunoprecipitatin (CLIP) experiment using an affinity-purified, highly specific anti-ORF57 antibody in KSHV-infected primariy effusion lymphoma BCBL-1 cells undegoing lytic virus replication.
