Project description:The Sendai virus infection model induces global changes involving multiple lung cell types. At 1 week post-infection, there is acute damage to the lung. At 2 weeks post-infection, when the virus had been largely cleared and the lung is undergoing repair, proliferation of endothelial cells and alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells is observed, as well as aberrant appearance Trp63/Sox2-expressing basal-like cells reminiscent of pods or lineage-negative epithelial progenitors observed upon severe H1N1 virus infection. At 7 weeks post-infection, the lung has been largely repaired, though the Trp63/Sox2-expressing basal-like cells remain.
Project description:To investivate the role of mitochondrial-mediate antiviral innate immunity in MEFs, we performed Sendai virus (SeV) infection experiments at the different cultured conditions of the cells. We analyzed the gene expression profile of MEFs that infected or uninfected with SeV either cultured the cells under glucose or galactose medium, and investigate its differences. We found that the both cultured conditions of cells showed normal antiviral responses.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in lungs of C57BL/6J mice that develop chronic airway disease phenotypes after a single Sendai virus infection, compared with mice treated with UV-inactivated virus. Experiment Overall Design: Whole lung RNA was analyzed from 3 mice per condition per time point for days 21 and 49 post infection, Sendai virus versus UV-inactivated virus, C57BL/6J mouse strain.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to determine gene expression changes during Sendai virus infection as the result of expression or inhibition of miR-203 in A549 cells. The gene expression profiling experiment was performed with 4 groups (mock infected, Sendai virus infected, Sendai virus infeceted in the presence of exogenous miR-203, and Sendai virus infected in the presence of miR-203 inhibitor) with 3 biological replicates for each group. Total RNA was purified from A549 cells that were mock infected or infected with Sendai virus (Cantell strain, 5pfu/cell) alone or in the presence of miR-203 mimic or inhibitor for 10 hours.

Project description:QuantSeq of immortalised primary human foetal foreskin fibroblasts (HFFF-TERTs) infected with Sendai Virus (SeV) or mock infected. Experiments were performed in two rounds. In the first round cells were depleted of both CRTC2 and CRTC3 using siRNAs, or treated with a control siRNA. In the second round of experiments HFFF-TERT cells had either CRTC2, CRTC3 or both CRTC2&CRTC3 knocked out using a CRISPR-Cas9 system. Knock-out cells were complemented with either full length CRTC2, full length CRTC3, a version of CRTC2 lacking the N-terminal 50 amino acids (ΔN50), a version of CRTC3 lacking the N-terminal 50 amino acids (ΔN50), both full length CRTC2 and CRTC3, or a vector only control.
