Differentially regulated splice variants and systems biology analysis of Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus-infected lymphatic endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: Alternative RNA splicing greatly increases proteome diversity, and the possibility of studying genome-wide alternative splicing (AS) events becomes available with the advent of high-throughput genomics tools devoted to this issue. Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of KS, a tumor of lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) lineage, but little is known about the AS variations induced by KSHV. We analyzed KSHV-controlled AS using high-density microarrays capable of detecting all exons in the human genome. Splicing variants and altered exon-intron usage in infected LEC were found, and these correlated with protein domain modification. The different 3’ UTR used in new transcripts also help isoforms to escape microRNA-mediated surveillance. Exome-level analysis further revealed information that cannot be disclosed using classical gene-level profiling: a significant exon usage difference existed between LEC and CD34+ precursor cells, and KSHV infection resulted in LEC-to-precursor, dedifferentiation-like exon level reprogramming. Our results demonstrate the application of exon arrays in systems biology research, and suggest the regulatory effects of AS in endothelial cells are far more complex than previously observed. This extra layer of molecular diversity helps to account for various aspects of endothelial biology, KSHV life cycle and disease pathogenesis that until now have been unexplored. 5 samples were analyzed. 3 were KSHV infected lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), and 2 were non-infected control samples.

Comparison of the transcriptome of K-LEC spheroids to control LEC spheroids

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions.The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognisable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells expressing markers of the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells as well as other cell types. The effects of KSHV infection of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) cultured in 3D matrix for three days were assayed using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips. There are n=3 of 1. control LEC spheroids (LEC), 2. KSHV infected LEC spheroids (K-LEC)

The profile of cellular and KSHV microRNAs in KSHV infected lymphatic endothelial cells (6 and 72 hours post infection)

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions. The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognizable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells, most commonly the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells (LEC and BEC), plus surrounding stroma. The effects of KSHV infection of LECs were assayed using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips at 6 and 72 hours post infection. There were n=4 each of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) following 6 hours of culture, LEC following 6 hours post KSHV infection, LEC following 72 hours of culture, and LEC following 72 hours post KSHV infection.
