Project description:We conducted a high-throughput drug repositioning screen using the LOPAC®1280 and the ReFRAME drug libraries to identify existing drugs that harbor antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, in a Vero E6 cell-based assay. We additionally performed RNA sequencing on control and SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 cells to study the biological changes after SARS-CoV-2 infection and to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying the positive hits identified from our high-throughput screen. Vero E6 cells were either mock-infected or infected with SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020 (MOI = 0.3) with three replicates. Cells were harvested 24 hours after infection, and total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen® RNeasy® Plus Mini Kit. The quality of the extracted RNA was assessed with the Agilent® 2100 Bioanalyzer. Libraries were prepared from total RNA following ribosome RNA depletion using standard protocol according to Illumina®. Total RNA sequencing was then performed on the Illumina® NextSeq system; 150bp paired-end runs were performed and 100 million raw reads per sample were generated.
Project description:RNA sequencing was performed on control and SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 cells, with or without remdesivir treatment to study the biological changes after SARS-CoV-2 infection and to evaluate the effectiveness of remdesivir on the gene expression level. 500,000 Vero E6 cells were seeded in 6-well plates. The following day, the cell medium was replaced with fresh medium supplemented with either DMSO or 1 µM remdesivir, and cells were either mock-infected or infected with SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020 (MOI=0.3), with three replicates per experimental condition. Cells were harvested 24 hours after infection, and total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen® RNeasy® Plus Mini Kit. The quality of the extracted RNA was assessed with the Agilent® 2100 Bioanalyzer.

Project description:Many events in viral infection are regulated through post-translational modification. In the case of positive-sense RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 which encodes two viral proteases, proteolytic cleavage of both viral and cellular proteins is crucial for productive viral infection. In this work we study proteolysis in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection of ACE2-A549 and Vero E6 cells, infected at a multiplicity of infection of 1, with samples harvested at 0,6,12 and 24h post-infection. Neo-N-termini and lysine residues were labelled at the protein level with TMTpro reagents prior to tryptic digestion. For unenriched samples, the trypsin-digested material was then fractionated offline, and analysed by LC-MS/MS for the study of total protein abundance over the infection timecourse. For enriched samples, unblocked neo-N-termini generated by tryptic digested were labelled with undecanal and depleted, yielding a sample enriched for blocked neo-N-termini (TMTpro, N-terminal acetylation, and pyroGlu). The enriched samples were similarly fractionated offline and analysed by LC-MS/MS. Please note this is one of several linked datasets. This dataset contains data from Vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2, prior to enrichment.
Project description:In our study, we found that SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions infection induced high levels of autophagy and apoptosis in infected cells. To further investigate the underlying regualtion of SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions infection in infected cells, ACE2-expressing HEK293T-hACE2 and Vero E6 cells were treated with Mock or SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions for RNA-Seq analysis to exame the expression of autophagy- and apoptosis-related genes. Our results indicate that the majority of autophagy- and apoptosis-promoting genes were significantly increased in SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions treated HEK293T-hACE2 and Vero E6 cells. In contrast, the subset of autophagy- and apoptosis-suppressing genes was significantly decreased in SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions-treated HEK293T-hACE2 and Vero E6 cells than Mock-treated HEK293T-hACE2 and Vero E6 cells. Meanwhile, SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirions infection enhanced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in infected cells.
