Project description:In order to explore the effects of SIRT2 on the liver metabolic function of mice under metabolic stress, we constructed SIRT2 knockout mice.
Project description:B16F10, a murine melanoma cel line is cytolytic to JEV infection. We have identified a B16F10 cell line variant which is non-cytolytic to JEV infection. This variant cell line has two types of cells, one which is persistently infected JEV and another which is resistant to JEV infection. The JEV-resistant cells (B16F10r) were seperated from the presistently infected cells by single cell cloning. To understand the mechanism of JEV resistance microarray analysis was caried out to Identify and characterize genes differentially expressed during in uninfected/JEV-infected B16F10 and B16F10r cells.
Project description:JEV is a neurotropic pathogen that causes lethal encephalitis in humans. The high susceptibility and massive proliferation of JEV in neurons lead to neuronal damage and dramatical inflammation in central nerves system (CNS). However, the mechanisms by which JEV preferentially infects neurons and induces massive neuroinflammation are largely unknown. Here, we found that JEV mainly distributed in cerebral cortex, striatum and thalamus in brain of infected mice, indicating the tissue or cell type bias. Cells in these regions of JEV-infected mice showing different symptoms (mild, moderate and severe) were isolated and subjected to scRNA-seq. 88000 single cells were obtained based on top differentially expressed genes, and 34 clusters and 10 major cell types were identified. As demonstrated by scRNA-seq and flow-cytometry assay, activated microglia cells and infiltrating immune cells including monocyte & macrophage, T cells and NK cells which are responsible for inflammatory response were increased in JEV-infected brain in a symptom severity-dependent manner. Furthermore, the subclusters of these cells and the cell-cell interaction network were analyzed. More communications between individual cells and significant increase in ligand receptor pairs associated with tight junctions, chemokines and antigen-presenting molecules were shown in JEV-infected mouse brain, suggesting upregulation of cellular permeability, inflammation and antiviral response. To identify which subtype(s) of neurons is/are targeted by JEV, 27874 neuronal cells were reclustered to 15 subsets. By analyzing the correlation between the expression of JEV E gene and neuronal genes, we found that Baiap2high neurons are highly permissive to JEV.
Project description:Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the leading cause of epidemic encephalitis worldwide. JEV-induced neuroinflammation is characterized by profound neuronal cells damage accompanied by activation of glial cells. Albeit long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been emerged as important regulatory RNAs with profound effects on various biological processes, it is unknown how lncRNAs regulate JEV-induced inflammation. Here, using microarray approach, we identified 618 lncRNAs and 1007 mRNAs differentially expressed in JEV-infected mice brain.

Project description:To investigate the transcriptomic characteristics of CD11b+F4/80+ cells in the brain of JEV- infected WT and Vegfr-3ΔLBD/ΔLBD mice, we sorted the CD11b+F4/80+ cells from the brain of WT and Vegfr-3ΔLBD/ΔLBD mice post 5 days of JEV infection by FACS. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different cells.
Project description:CHME3 cells grown on six-wells were infected with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) (P20778 strain), and total RNA was isolated from cells at 6, 24 and 48 h of post infection. MicroRNA expression was significantly altered in JEV-infected human microglial cells. A time-dependent change in microRNA profile was noted. Bioinformatics analysis identified anti-correlation between differentially expressed miRNAs and the gene expression at different time point which ultimately affected several signalling pathways in microglia cells. Brain-enriched microRNAs and a set of microRNA previously designated as NeurimmiRs were also differentially expressed in response to JEV infection.
Project description:Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and causes acute encephalitis with high mortality rate in humans. Despite the demonstration of difference in neuroinvasiveness between JEV strains, little is known about host gene response upon infection of virulent and attenuated JEV strains. To understand the pathogenesis mechanism of JEV infection, we performed a comparative genome-wide microarray analysis (Affymetrix, mouse genome 430 2.0 with 45101 probe sets) of genes expressed in the mice brains three days post intracerebrally inoculated with JEV strains of different neurovirulence. We found that the virulent strain of JEV (RP-9) tended to affect the host gene expression more profoundly than the attenuated one (RP-2ms), as 961 vs. 665 and 655 vs. 509 genes were at least two-fold upregulated and downregulated by RP-9 and RP-2ms, respectively. In order to understand the host defense response against JEV, we further analyzed the microarray data with special focus on immune response. The expression levels of selected genes were further verified by quantitative RT-PCR at 1-, 3- and 5-day post JEV infection. The differentially regulated genes reported here likely contribute to the neurovirulent phenotype by modulating the host immunity, viral replication and/or cytotoxicity.
