Project description:Bat adenoviruses are a group of recently identified adenoviruses (AdVs) which are highly prevalent in bats yet share low similarity to known AdVs from other species. In this study, deep RNA sequencing was used to analyze the transcriptome at five time points following the infection of a bat AdV in a kidney cell line derived from a myotis bat species. Evidence of AdV replication was observed with the proportion of viral RNAs ranging from 0.01% at 6 h to 1.3% at 18 h. Further analysis of viral temporal gene expression revealed three replication stages; the early stage genes encoding mainly for host interaction proteins, the intermediate stage genes for the DNA replication and assembly proteins, and the late stage genes for most structural proteins. Several bat AdV genes were expressed at stages that differed from their counterpart genes previously reported for human AdV. In addition, single-base resolution splice sites of several genes and promoter regions of all 30 viral genes were fully determined. Simultaneously, the temporal cellular gene expression profiles were identified. The most overrepresented functional categories of the differentially expressed genes were related to cellular immune response, transcription, translation, and DNA replication and repair. Taken together, the deep RNA sequencing provided a global, transcriptional profile of the novel BtAdV and the virus-host interactions, which will be useful for the understanding and investigation of AdV replication, pathogenesis and specific virus-bat interactions in future research. Deep RNA sequencing was used to analyze the transcriptome at five time points(0h,6h,8h, 12h 18h) following the infection of a bat AdV in a bat kidney cell.
Project description:To further understand different gene expression of miR-22 knockout mouse BAT and normal BAT, we have employed BAT samples microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify different genes with miR-22 knockout mouse BAT and normal BAT.comparision with normal BAT,significantly upgene is 522 and downgene is 720 in knockout group.

Project description:SILAC labeled human kidney cells (293 cells) or bat kidney cells (PakiT03cells)were infected with Hendra virus for 8 or 24 hours and compared to uninfected control cells. Protein identification and quantitation relied on a combination of Uniprot lists of proteins and Proteomics Informed by Transcriptomics (PIT) analysis whereby RNA extracted from the same samples was deep sequenced and the sequencing data was used to construct mRNA from which possible ORFS were inferred and used as a search space by MaxQuant.
Project description:To study the gene expression profiles of brown (BAT) and white (WAT) adipose tissues in wild type and LR11-deficeint mice. The four RNA sources, WT scWAT, Lr11 -/- scWAT, WT BAT and Lr11 -/- BAT, were prepared from subcutaneous WAT and BAT from wild-type mice and Lr11 -/- mice, respectively (n=3 each).
