Project description:Extranodal NK/T-cell, nasal type (hereinafter, nasal T/NK lymphoma), is a distinct clinicopahtologic entity highly associated with EBV. Among nasal T/NK lymphoma, some cases are developed from the long-lasting EBV infection termed chronic active EBV (CAEBV) infection.The clonal expansion of EB infected T- or NK cell are seen in patients with both nasal T/NK lymphoma and CAEBV infection, suggesting that two diseases might partly share the similar mechanism by which EBV affect host cellular genes. Question has thus arisen why a subset of patients with CAEB infection develop into nasal T/NK lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate the virus-host interaction in EBV-associated lymphoma.

Project description:Nasal T/NK lymphoma is a unique subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is aggressive and incurable closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)3. The clonal expansion of EB infected T- or NK cell is also seen in patients with chronic active EBV (CAEBV) infection, suggesting that two diseases might partly share a similar mechanism by which EBV affect host cellular genes. In order to understand the pathogenesis of EBV-associated T/NK lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) and design new therapies, we employed a novel EBV DNA microarray to compare patterns of EBV expression in SNK/T cells established from EBV-associated T/NK LPD. Keywords: parallel sample

Project description:Capture-based whole-genome sequencing of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was performed in hematological malignancies such as EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, and chronic active EBV infection.
Project description:The contribution of chronic antigen stimulation to the occurrence of lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) with the gamma-delta T-cell lineage is unclear, despite the fact that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive T-cell LPD is derived from antigen-stimulated cytotoxic T-cells. Given the possible association of antigen stimulation with the development of cytotoxic T-cell LPD, we compared gene expression patterns in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive gamma-delta T-cell lines derived from patients with nasal T-cell lymphoma and chronic active EBV infection and those in gamma-delta T-cells from healthy volunteers. Three EBV-positive gamma-delta T-cells lines, SNT cells (SNT-8, SNT-13 and SNT-15), were used in this study. SNT-8 was established from patients with nasal T-cell lymphoma and SNT-13, -15 were established from patients with chronic active EBV infection (Zhang Y, et al., Br J Cancer 94:599-608, 2006). All the SNT cells exhibits common rearrangement of Vgamma9-JgammaP and Jdelta3 genes. The gamma-delta T-cells obtained from healthy volunteers were expanded ex vivo by 1 microM of zoledronate (ZOL) plus IL-2 for 14 days incubation.

Experiment Overall Design: We compared gene expression profiling in 3 EBV-positive positive gamma-delta T-cells lines with those in gamma-delta T cells obtaied from a healthy volunteer. Global gene expression was analyzed using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 2.0 Plus GeneChip Set. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was done using GeneSifter® (VizXLabs). Values of P<0.05 were considered to be a statistically significant difference.
Project description:Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous gamma-herpesvirus that persists as a chronic, asymptomatic infection in over 90% of the adult human population. EBV infections are mainly asymptomatic and subside due to a vigorous host T cell response with the virus transitioning to latency in a subset of memory B cells. Failure to control latent EBV infection can result in a variety of EBV-associated malignancies, including lymphoproliferative diseases in immunocompromised people. Studies in both experimental models and humans suggest that NK cells are critical in the host defense against EBV. In this study we utulized scRNA-seq to better understand the phenotype of NK cells that respond to EBV-infected B cells. We generated a panel of EBV+ lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV+ LCL) and performed coculture experiments with primary NK cells and their autologous EBV+ LCL using 10x Genomics scRNA-seq. Subsequent analyses following alignment and data processing were completed in Python.
