Project description:To investigate the effect of a particular gene on CVA6 replication, we established a CVA6-infected RD cell line. We then performed gene expression analysis using RNA-seq data of cells from the infected and uninfected groups.

Project description:IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology. In this study, we focused on non-hematopoietic cells in the submandibular gland of IgG4-RD patients. Through single-cell RNA sequencing, our aim was to unravel the contributions of these cells to the development and progression of IgG4-RD.
Project description:Among the non-polio enterovirus (NPEV) Echovirus-30 (E-30) is responsible for extensive global outbreaks of meningitis in children. To gain access to the central nervous system (CNS), E-30 first have to cross one of the two main barriers, the epithelial blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (BCSFB) or the endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB). Previously it has been shown that several meningitis causing bacteria preferentially infect human choroid plexus papilloma cells (HIBCPP) in a polar fashion from the basolateral cell side. Here, we investigated the polar infection with E-30 of HIBCPP cells. Both, apical and basolateral infections caused a significant decrease of the transepithelial resistance (TEER) of HIBCPP cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, to reach the same TEER decrease the multiplicity of infection (MOI) of the apical infection had to be 20 times higher than the basolateral infection. In line with this finding the number of infected cells at respective time-points after basolateral infection was significantly higher compared to apical infection. Cytotoxic effects of E-30 on HIBCPP cells during basolateral infection were observed following prolonged infection, and appeared more drastically compared to the apical infection. Evaluation of massive analysis of cDNA ends (MACE) RNA data comparing basolateral versus apical infection, revealed a distinct pattern of up- and down-regulated genes depending on the side of infection. Especially, the down-regulation of ITGα5 upon basolateral infection can be correlated with a more drastic impact of E-30 on the HIBCPP cells when compared to apical infection, leading to structural changes. Also, type 3 interferon genes might be a factor involved in the polar effect of E-30 on HIBCPP. Altogether, the data highlights the polar effect of E-30 in HIBCPP cells as an important factor for an efficient infection.
Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma is a pediatric tumor of skeletal muscle that expresses the myogenic basic helix-loop-helix protein MyoD but fails to undergo terminal differentiation. Prior work has determined that DNA binding by MyoD occurs in the tumor cells, but myogenic targets fail to activate. Using MyoD chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing and gene expression analysis in both primary human muscle cells and RD rhabdomyosarcoma cells, we demonstrate that MyoD binds in a similar genome-wide pattern in both tumor and normal cells but binds poorly at a subset of myogenic genes that fail to activate in the tumor cells. Binding differences are found both across genomic regions and locally at specific sites that are associated with binding motifs for RUNX1, MEF2C, JDP2, and NFIC. These factors are expressed at lower levels in RD cells than muscle cells and rescue myogenesis when expressed in RD cells. MEF2C is located in a genomic region that exhibits poor MyoD binding in RD cells, whereas JDP2 exhibits local DNA hypermethylation in its promoter in both RD cells and primary tumor samples. These results demonstrate that regional and local silencing of differentiation factors contributes to the differentiation defect in rhabdomyosarcomas.

Project description:We report here the analysis of TRPS1 chromatin binding by ChIP-Seq in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells. We use here parental and TRPS1-KO RD cells. RD cells and RD-TRPS1-KO cells were cultured in growth medium and chromatin was prepared. TRPS1 DNA binding in RD cells and RD-TRPS1-KO cells using a selfmade antibody (referenced in Elster et al.) was determined by ChIP-seq.
Project description:The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as pivotal factors in regulating and participating in virus-host interactions.Therefore, we used the RNA sequencing to determine the expression profiles of lncRNAs in Coxsackievirus B5 (CV-B5) infected human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell and SH-SY5Y cell. Our results identified that in the differentially expressed lncRNAs a total of 508 up-regulated and 760 down-regulated lncRNAs in RD cell, with 46.2% were lincRNAs, 28.6% were anti-sense lncRNAs, 24.1% were sense overlapping lncRNAs, and 1.0% were sense intronic lncRNAs. Moreover, 792 lncRNAs were significantly increased and 811 lncRNAs were greatly decreased in SH-SY5Y cell including 48.6% were lincRNAs, 34.7% were anti-sense lncRNAs, 16.0% were sense overlapping lncRNAs, and 0.8% were sense intronic lncRNAs. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway showed that the differentially expressed lncRNAs participated in the occurrence of disease in RD cell and associated with signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cell after CVB5 infection respectively.Our results reveal that lncRNAs can become a possible novel molecular target for the prevention and treatment of CV-B5 infection, and provided information for distinguishing neurogenic CV-B5 disease.
