Expression of EBV miRNAs in numerous EBV-positive cell lines

ABSTRACT: EBV-positive cell lines were assayed for expression of EBV miRNAs. The names of the miRNAs are from miRBase from Fall 2007. Microarray probes are tandem complements of the mature miRNA sequence. We assayed Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), primary effusion lymphoma, and lymphoblastoid cell lines. We also assayed primary B cells that were infected with the B95-8 strain of EBV, which was found to express EBV miRNAs as early as 20 hours post infection. We have found PTLD and BLs from HIV-positive donors both express EBV miRNAs. These types of cell lines have not previously been found to express viral miRNAs. We have found that cells that support type I and type II latency express only the BART miRNAs, whereas cells that support type III latency express BART and BHRF1 miRNAs. Furthermore, BL cell lines that spontaneously lose EBV express levels of the viral miRNAs that are at least 5-fold lower than cell lines that do not lose EBV. In total, 48 samples have been assayed and included in this study. EBV-negative control samples are not included in this data set, but raw and processed data may be requested from the contributors. These EBV-negative cell lines include the Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, BJAB and Akata-negative, the gastric carcinoma cell line, AGS, and uninfected primary B cells. Of the 48 samples, we have assayed 22 different EBV-positive cell lines and 4 different time points after infection of primary B cells with EBV. Replicates of the majority of cell lines is included in this data set. Replicates are from independent RNA isolations that were then hybridized to individual microarrays.

Project description:Phenotype-driven forward genetic experiments are among the most powerful approaches for linking biology and disease to genomic elements. Although widely used in a range of model organisms, positional cloning of causal variants is still a very laborious process. Here, we describe a novel universal approach, named fast forward genetics that combines traditional bulk segregant techniques with next-generation sequencing technology and targeted genomic enrichment, to dramatically improve the process of mapping and cloning multiple mutants in a single experiment. In a two-step procedure the mutation is first roughly mapped by ‘light’ sequencing of the bulk segregant pool, followed by genomic enrichment and deep-sequencing of the mutant pool for the linked genomic region. The latter step allows for simultaneous fine-mapping and mutation discovery. We successfully applied this approach to three Arabidopsis mutants, but the method can in principle be applied to any model organism of interest and is largely independent of the genome size. Moreover, we show that both steps can be performed in multiplex using barcoded samples, thereby increasing efficiency enormously. Inducible overexpression of the RETINOBLASTOMA-RELATED (RBR-OE) gene in Arabidopsis roots causes the complete differentiation of stem cells and premature differentiation of daughter cells, leading to a full exhaustion of the primary root meristem. In order to identify regulators of RBR function in cell differentiation, RBR-OE plants in the Columbia background (Col0) were treated with EMS mutagenesis and a set of genetic suppressors of RBR-OE, which restores root growth capacity, were isolated. In this study, we used one the identified suppressor lines, which segregated as a recessive mutation. Mapping populations were generated by outcrossing to Ler ecotype. Seedlings from the F2 population were grown for 15 days post germination (dpg). A pool of 60 seedlings each with a clear suppressor phenotype (homozygous for suppressor mutation) and of 60 seedlings showing RBOE phenotype (Heterozygous for the suppressor mutation) were prepared and genomic DNA was isolated with the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit from QIAGEN according to manufacturer's protocol. The other two, mutants 136 and 193 were obtained in fluorescence based mutant screen and a QCmarker based mutagenesis, respectively. Mutants were generated by chemical mutagenesis (EMS) in Colombia (Col) genetic background. Mutants were subsequently crossed to the Landsberg (Ler) ecotype to create the mapping populations. Bulk-segregant pools of about 200 mutant as well as wild-type plants were generated for every mutant line.
