Project description:Our aim was to investigate the interaction between epidermal differentiation and VZV infection. By means of a calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation model and RNA-seq we show VZV infection has a profound effect on differentiating keratinocytes and hijacks the normal process of epidermal gene expression to generate a signature resembling patterns of gene expression seen in both heritable and acquired skin-blistering disorders. Analysis of the viral transcriptome provides evidence that VZV replication in skin is tightly linked to differentiation and critically, that late viral gene expression is associated with cellular differentiation. The experiment was performed on human primary keratinocytes under four conditions: undifferentiated/uninfected, uninfected/differentiated, VZV-infected/undifferentiated and VZV-infected/differentiated.

Project description:Exosomes have emerged as essential extracellular signaling vesicles that can deliver proteins and nucleic acids to cells during normal and disease states. Herein, we studied the effects of exosomes produced by VZV-infected human sensory neurons on cerebrovascular cells. Exosomes were isolated from mock- and VZV-infected sensory neurons and protein and nucleic acid was determined by mass spectrometry and Next-Generation Sequencing. Subsequently, mock- and VZV-derived exosomes were applied to primary human brain vascular adventitial fibroblasts (HBVAFs). Overall, exosomes from VZV-infected sensory neurons impacted the pro-inflammatory phenotype of HBVAF cells. The presence of pathogenic exosomes that could circulate throughout the body provides insight into clinical infections.

Project description:The highly conserved herpesvirus glycoprotein complex, gB/gH-gL, mediates membrane fusion during virion entry and cell-cell fusion. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) characteristically forms multi-nucleated cells, or syncytia, during the infection of human tissues but little is known about this process. The cytoplasmic domain of VZV gB (gBcyt) has been implicated in cell-cell fusion regulation because a gB[Y881F] substitution causes hyperfusion. The gBcyt regulation is necessary for VZV pathogenesis as the hyperfusogenic mutant gB[Y881F] is severely attenuated in human skin xenografts. In this study, gBcyt regulated fusion was investigated by comparing melanoma cells infected with wild type-like VZV or hyperfusogenic mutants. The gB[Y881F] mutant exhibited dramatically accelerated syncytia formation in melanoma cells caused by fusion of infected cells with many uninfected cells, increased cytoskeleton reorganization and rapid displacement of nuclei to dense central structures when compared to pOka using live cell confocal microscopy. VZV and human transcriptomes were concurrently investigated using RNA-seq to identify viral and cellular responses induced when the gBcyt regulation was disrupted by the gB[Y881F] substitution. The expression of four vital VZV genes, ORF61 and glycoproteins, gC, gE and gI, was significantly reduced at 36 hours post infection for the hyperfusogenic mutants. Importantly, hierarchical clustering demonstrated an association of differential gene expression with dysregulated gBcyt-mediated fusion. A subset of Ras GTPase genes linked to membrane remodeling were upregulated in cells infected with the hyperfusogenic mutants. These data implicate the gBcyt in the regulation gB fusion function that, if unmodulated, triggers cellular processes leading to hyperfusion that attenuates VZV infection.

Project description:Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) is a skin-tropic virus that infects epidermal keratinocytes and causes chickenpox. Although common, VZV infection can be life-threatening particularly in the immunocompromised. Therefore, understanding VZV-keratinocyte interactions is important to find new treatments beyond vaccination and anti-viral drugs. In VZV- infected skin, Kallikrein 6 (KLK6), and the ubiquitin-ligase MDM2 are up-regulated concomitant with Keratin 10 (K10) down-regulation. MDM2 binds to K10 targeting it for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Preventing K10 degradation reduced VZV propagation in culture and prevented epidermal disruption in skin explants. K10 knockdown induced expression of the nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 (NR4A1) and enhanced viral propagation in culture. NR4A1 knockdown prevented viral propagation in culture, reduced LC3 levels and increased LAMP2 expression. We therefore describe a novel drug-able pathway whereby MDM2 ubiquitinates and degrades K10 increasing NR4A1 expression allowing VZV replication and propagation.

Project description:Sequence analyses shown that most exons of VZV circVLTs were overlapped with ORFs, except for exon5, which was an ideal mutation position. Using a galK positive/counter selection VZV bacteria artificial chromosome (BAC) system, we replaced upstream (104,765-104,785 Mutation2, pOKA-M2) or downstream (104,785-104,805, Mutation1, pOKA-M1) of circVLTs BSJ exon5 with 20 bp random sequences in VZV genomic DNA level. The code used in this study and extended data are available from the GitHub repository (https://github.com/ShaominYang/VZV_circRNA)

Project description:The alpha-herpesvirus Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), the causative agent of chicken pox, infects most humans worldwide and remains latent in peripheral neuronal cells for life. Its reactivation triggers herpes zoster and sporadic disseminated infection, in particular in the central nervous system (CNS) where it is associated with severe pathologies. VZV replication is efficiently controlled with antivirals, however the emergence of treatment-resistant VZV variants constitutes an increasing healthcare issue, calling for in-depth analysis of molecular VZV-host interactions to foster general knowledge and promote identification of novel therapeutic targets. Here we conducted a mass spectrometry-based survey in neuronal SK-N-BE2 cells, combining proteome analysis of VZV-infected cells with systematic characterization of VZV proteins’ functions through identifying their individual host partners and effects on the host proteome. In this dataset, we systematically assessed proteome changes elicited by the expression of individual viral proteins – the so called “effectome”, which allowed us to gain unprecedented insights in the activity of individual VZV ORFs.
