Total gene expression analysis of LMP2A/λ-MYC and λ-MYC tumors

ABSTRACT: We have developed a transgenic mouse model for Epstein-Barr virus-associated Burkitt's lymphoma. Transgenic mice that express LMP2A and MYC in B cells develop spontaneous lymph node tumors at different rates. Tumor onset occurs at approximately 40-60 days in LMP2A/λ-MYC mice and at 100-200 days in λ-MYC mice. This study compared total gene expression in the tumor cells from each genotype, as well as in B cells isolated from 3 week old mice prior to tumor onset. Comparison of total gene expression in tumor cells from LMP2A/λ-MYC and λ-MYC transgenic mice identified a short list of differentially expressed genes. Comparison of gene expression in B cells from the spleens of 3 week old mice, in contrast, identified a 10-fold increase in the number of differentially expressed genes. B cells from the spleens of 3 week old LMP2A/λ-MYC (n=5), λ-MYC (n=5), LMP2A (n=3), and WT (n=3) transgenic mice were purified using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) beads purchased from Miltenyi for CD19 positive selection. Total RNA was isolated from these purified B cells, as well as from cervical lymph node tumor cells that developed in LMP2A/λ-MYC (n=7) and λ-MYC (n=5) transgenic mice using RNeasy RNA extraction kit from QIAGEN. Cervical lymph node tumor cells were >90% positive for the B cell marker B220, and were not further purified. Total gene expression was assessed in each sample, along with heart and brain reference samples using MouseRef-8 v2.0 Expression Bead Chips purchased from Illumina. GeneSpring analysis software was used to analyze the expression data and identify significantly differentially expressed genes (fold change >1.5-fold and false discovery rate< 0.05).

Interferon lambda restricts West Nile virus neuroinvasion by enhancing integrity of the blood-brain barrier

Project description:Although type III interferons (IFN), also known as IFN-λ or IL28/IL-29, restrict infection by several viruses, their mechanism of inhibitory action has remained uncertain. We used recombinant IFN-λ and mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (IFNLR1) to evaluate the effect of IFN-λ on infection with West Nile virus (WNV), an encephalitic flavivirus. Cell culture studies in keratinocytes and dendritic cells showed no direct antiviral effect of exogenous IFN-λ even though ISGs were induced. Correspondingly, we observed no differences in WNV burden between wild-type and Ifnlr1-/- mice in the draining lymph node, spleen, and blood. However, we detected earlier dissemination and increased WNV infection in the brain and spinal cord of Ifnlr1-/- mice, yet this was not associated with a direct antiviral effect on infection of neurons. Instead, an increase in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was observed in Ifnlr1-/- mice. Accordingly, treatment of mice with pegylated IFN-λ2 resulted in decreased BBB permeability, reduced WNV infection in the brain without impacting viremia, and improved survival against lethal virus challenge. An in vitro model of the BBB showed that IFN-λ signaling in brain microvascular endothelial cells increased transendothelial electrical resistance, decreased virus movement across the barrier, and modulated tight junction protein localization in a protein synthesis- and STAT1-independent manner. Our data establish a novel indirect antiviral function of IFN-λ in which non-canonical signaling through IFNLR1 tightens the BBB and restricts viral neuroinvasion and pathogenesis. This finding suggests new clinical applications for IFN-λ in treating viral or autoimmune diseases.

Melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles induce lymphangiogenesis and metastasis by a NGFR-dependent mechanism

Project description:Secreted extracellular vesicles are known to influence the tumor microenvironment and promote metastasis. In this work, we have analyzed the involvement of extracellular vesicles in establishing the lymph node pre-metastatic niche by melanoma cells. We found that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from highly metastatic melanoma cell lines spread broadly through the lymphatic system and are taken up by lymphatic endothelial cells reinforcing lymph node metastasis. Melanoma-derived sEVs induce lymphangiogenesis, a hallmark of pre-metastatic niche formation, in vitro and in lymphoreporter mice in vivo. Analysis of involved factors demonstrated that the neural growth factor receptor (NGFR) is secreted in melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles and shuttled to lymphatic endothelial cells inducing lymphangiogenesis and tumor cell adhesion through the activation of ERK and NF-B pathways and ICAM1 expression. Importantly, ablation or inhibition of NGFR in sEVs reversed the lymphangiogenic phenotype, decreased melanoma lymph node metastasis and extended mice survival. Importantly, analysis of NGFR expression in lymph node metastases and matched primary tumors shows that levels of MITF+NGFR+ lymph node metastatic cells are correlated with disease outcome. Our data support that NGFR is secreted in sEVs favoring lymph node pre-metastatic niche formation and lymph node metastasis in melanoma.

IFN-λ signaling protects mice from severe HSV-1 skin disease I

Project description:Type III interferons (IFN-λ) are antiviral and immunomodulatory cytokines that have been best characterized in respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, but the effects of IFN-λ against skin infections have not been extensively investigated. We sought to define the skin-specific effects of IFN-λ against the highly prevalent human pathogen herpes simplex virus (HSV). We infected mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (Ifnlr1-/-), both the IFN-λ and the IFN-αβ receptor (Ifnar1-/- Ifnlr1-/-), or IFN-λ cytokines (Ifnl2/3-/-) and found that IFN-λ restricts the severity of HSV-1 and HSV-2 skin lesions, independent of a direct effect on viral load. Using conditional knockout mice, we found that IFN-λ signaling in both keratinocytes and neutrophils was necessary to control HSV-1 skin lesion severity, and that IFN-λ signaling in keratinocytes suppressed CXCL9-mediated neutrophil recruitment to the skin. Furthermore, depleting neutrophils prevented the development of severe HSV-1 skin lesions in Ifnlr1-/- mice. Altogether, our results suggest that IFN-λ plays an immunomodulatory role in the skin that restricts neutrophil-mediated pathology during HSV infection, and suggest potential applications for IFN-λ in treating viral skin infections.

Rewiring of B cell receptor signaling by Epstein-Barr virus LMP2A

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects human B cells and reprograms them to allow virus replication and persistence. One key viral factor in this process is latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A), which has been described as a B cell receptor (BCR) mimic promoting malignant transformation. However, how LMP2A signaling contributes to tumorigenesis remains elusive. By systematically comparing LMP2A and BCR signaling using quantitative phosphoproteomics and transcriptome profiling, we identified molecular mechanisms through which LMP2A affects B cell biology. Consistent with previous literature, we found that LMP2A mimics a subset of BCR signaling events, including tyrosine-phosphorylation of the kinase SYK, the calcium initiation complex consisting of BLNK, BTK, PLC2, and its downstream transcription factor NFAT. However, the vast majority of LMP2A-induced signaling events markedly differed from those induced by BCR stimulation. These included differential phosphorylation of kinases, phosphatases, adaptor proteins, transcription factors such as NFB and TCF3, as well as widespread changes in the transcriptional output of LMP2A-expressing B cells. LMP2A affected apoptosis and cell cycle checkpoints by dysregulating the expression of apoptosis regulators such as Bcl-xL and the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma-associated protein (RB1). Accordingly, LMP2A cooperated with drivers of Burkitt lymphoma, overexpressed MYC and an oncogenic cyclin D3 mutant, by counteracting the pro-apoptotic effects of MYC and by further inhibiting RB1 function to promote cell growth. Our results indicate that LMP2A rewires rather than mimics BCR signaling, promoting a signaling output that predisposes EBV-infected B cells to hyperproliferation and eventual malignant transformation.
