Project description:Viral infections of the central nervous system cause acute or delayed neuropathology and clinical consequences ranging from asymptomatic courses to chronic, debilitating diseases. The outcome of viral encephalitis is partially determined by genetically programmed immune response patterns of the host. Experimental infection of mice with Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) causes diverse neurologic diseases, including TMEV-induced demyelinating disease (TMEV-IDD), depending on the used mouse strain. The aim of the present study was to compare initial transcriptomic changes occurring in the brain of TMEV-infected SJL (TMEV-IDD susceptible) and C57BL/6 (TMEV-IDD resistant) mice. Animals were infected intracerebrally with TMEV and sacrificed 4, 7 or 14 days post infection (dpi). Control animals of both strains were inoculated with vehicle only and sacrificed at 7 dpi. RNA was isolated from brain tissue and analyzed by whole transcriptome sequencing. Selected differences were confirmed on a protein level by immunohistochemistry. In mock-infected mice SJL and C57BL/6 mice, >200 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected. Following TMEV-infection, the number of DEGs increased to >700. Infected C57BL/6 mice showed a higher expression of transcripts related to antigen presentation MHCI I, innate antiviral immune responses and cytotoxicity, compared to infected SJL animals. Many of those genes were also upregulated in SJL mice upon infection, but the response was weaker or delayed, which could be responsible for failure of viral clearance in this mouse strain. SJL mice showed prolonged elevation of MHC II and chemotactic genes, compared to C57BL/6 mice, which presumably facilitates the induction of chronic demyelinating disease. In addition, elevated expression of several genes associated with immunomodulatory or –suppressive functions was observed in SJL mice. The exploratory study confirms previous observations in the model and provides an extensive list of immunologic parameters potentially contributing to different outcomes of viral encephalitis in two mouse strains.

Project description:Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) induces different diseases in the central nervous system (CNS) and heart, depending on the mouse strains and time course, where cytokines play a key role for viral clearance and immune-mediated pathology (immunopathology). In SJL/J mice, TMEV infection causes chronic TMEV-induced demyelinating disease (TMEV-IDD) in the spinal cord around 1 month post infection (p.i.). Unlike other immunopathology models, both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines can play dual roles in TMEV-IDD. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play a beneficial role in viral clearance while they also play a detrimental role in immune-mediated demyelination. Anti-inflammatory cytokines suppress not only protective anti-viral immune responses but also detrimental autoreactive immune responses. On the other hand, in C3H mice, TMEV infection induces a non-CNS disease, myocarditis, with three phases: phase I, viral pathology with interferon and chemokine responses; phase II, immunopathology mediated by acquired immune responses; and phase III, cardiac fibrosis. Although the precise mechanism how a single virus, TMEV, induces the distinct diseases in different organs is unclear, principal component analysis (PCA) of transcriptome data allows us to identify the key factors contributing to distinct immunopathology. The PCA demonstrated that in vitro infection of a cardiomyocyte cell line could reproduce the transcriptome profile of phase I in TMEV-induced myocarditis; distinct interferon/chemokine-related responses were induced in vitro in infected cardiomyocytes, but not in infected neuronal cells. In addition, the PCA of in vivo CNS transcriptome data showed that decreased lymphatic marker expression was associated with inflammation in TMEV infection. Here, dysfunction of lymphatic vessels may contribute to immunopathology by delaying clearance of cytokines and immune cells from the inflammatory site, although this might confine the virus at the site, preventing virus spread via lymphatic vessels. On the other hand, in the heart, dysfunction of lymphatics was associated with reduced lymphatic muscle contractility by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, TMEV infection could induce different cytokine expressions as well as lymphatic vessel dysfunction by the distinct mechanism between the CNS and heart, which might contribute to organ-specific immunopathology.

Project description:Goal: Determine the role of microglia in the antiviral response during neurotropic picornavirus infection of C57BL/6J and SJL/J mice and whether absence of microglia would affect CD4 and CD8 T cell functions. Methods: Brains from C57BL/6J and SJL/J mice treated with PLX5622 (to deplete microlgia) or control diet were harvested at 6 days post TMEV-infection. CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were obtained using Easy Sep Mouse CD4+ T cell isolation Kit and Easy Sep Mouse CD8+ T cell isolation Kit (Stemcell). RNA was obtained using RNeasy (QIAGEN) and Illumina TruSeq stranded RNA Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold was then utilized to prepare cDNA library for RNA-seq. Results: Our results demonstrate strain-specific effects of the CSF1R-microglia axis in the context of neurotropic viral infection as well as inherent differences in microglial antigen presentation and subsequent T cell crosstalk that contribute to susceptibility to neurotropic picornavirus infection.

Project description:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an infectious disease characterized by severe reproductive deficiency in pregnant sows, respiratory symptoms in piglets, and high mortality. In this study, we employed Affymetrix microarray chip technology to compare the gene expression profiles of lung tissue samples from Dapulian (DPL) pigs (a Chinese indigenous pig breed) and Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire (DLY) pigs after infection with PRRSV. During infection with PRRSV, the DLY pigs exhibited the range of clinical features that typify the disease, while the DPL pigs exhibited only mild signs of the disease. The percentage of CD8+ T cells in the DPL pigs was significantly higher than that in the DLY pigs at 21 days post-infection (dpi) (p< 0.05). Interleukin (IL) 1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-2 levels showed significant differences between the DPL and DLY pigs at 0 and 7 dpi (p< 0.01). For IL-10, the DLY pigs had significantly higher values than the DPL pigs at 0 and 7 dpi (p< 0.01). Significant differences were apparent between the DPL and DLY pigs in terms of their tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon (IFN)-gamma (IFN-γ) levels at 0 and 7 dpi (p< 0.01). Microarray data revealed 16 differentially expressed genes in the lung tissue samples from the DLY and DPL pigs (q≤5%), of which LOC100516029 and LOC100523005 were up-regulated in the PRRSV-infected DPL pigs, while the other 14 genes were down-regulated in the PRRSV-infected DPL pigs compared with the PRRSV-infected DLY pigs. The expression levels of 10 of the 16 genes, namely CCDC84, C6ORF52, THYMOSIN, PRVE, HSPCB, CYP2J2, AMPD3, TOR1AIP2, PTGES3, and ACOX3, were validated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. This study provides a platform for further investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential immune responses to PRRSV infection in different breeds or lines of pig. We investigated the response of lung tissues from Dapulian (DPL) pigs (a Chinese indigenous pig breed) and Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire (DLY) pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (strain JXA1) by using the Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array.

Project description:Platelets have been immunologically associated with viral and immune-mediated diseases such as Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) and Experimental autoim-mune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the role of platelets in Theiler’s murine encephalo-myelitis virus (TMEV)-induced myocarditis and inflammatory demyelination disease (IDD) is still unknown. We determine whether platelets were associated with TMEV infection and whether glycoprotein Ib alpha chain (GPIbα/CD42b) antibody injection could affect the pathogenicity of TMEV-induced myocarditis and TMEV-IDD. We conducted a mechanistic experiment by injecting TMEV-infected mice with the anti-GPIbα antibodies 0 and 5 days p.i. (“Early” group) or 18 and 22 days p.i. (“Late” group). Using in silico and in vivo approaches, we found platelets and platelet-related genes were associated with TMEV infection. Platelet depletion in Early and Late mice reduced fibrotic area in the heart, inflammatory demyelinating lesions with lower viral persistence in the CNS and altered antiviral antibody responses. Thus, platelets contribute to the pathogenesis of TMEV infection by promoting fibrosis and CNS inflammation. Platelet-depletion treatment might open new therapeutic approaches for TMEV-induced myocarditis and TMEV-IDD.

We investigated the response of lung tissues from Dapulian (DPL) pigs (a Chinese indigenous pig breed) and Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire (DLY) pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (strain JXA1) by using the Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array. Sixteen healthy 30-day-old weaned DPL pigs were selected from the Jiaxiang Dapulian farm, Jining City, China, and 15 healthy 30-day-old weaned DLY pigs were obtained from a commercial farm with high standards of animal health. These pigs were free from PRRSV, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), pseudorabies virus (PRV), and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) as determined by ELISA tests for serum antibodies; the absence of PRRSV was also confirmed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Pigs were randomly assigned into two groups and reared in separate places: the PRRSV-infected group consisted of 11 DPL and 10 DLY pigs, and the control group consisted of five DPL and five DLY pigs. Infections in the pigs proceeded via inoculation with 2 ml of a viral suspension of PRRSV (at a tissue culture infectious dose of 105) by dripping the solution into the nasal cavity of each pig. The control group was treated with an identical volume of PBS by the same method. Rectal temperatures and clinical examinations on the pigs were recorded daily during the experiment. Anticoagulant-treated blood and untreated blood samples were collected separately at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days post-infection (dpi) from the infected and control groups for assaying CD4+, CD8+, cytokine (interleukin (IL) 1 beta (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and immunoglobulin G (IgG) protein levels. Lung samples for microarray analysis and real-time qRT-PCR analysis were collected from six infected DLY and DPL pigs (three pigs for each breed) immediately post-slaughter at 28 dpi. Total RNA was isolated from lung tissue samples and purified using an RNeasy Mini kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA was prepared using the GeneChip (AFF-900623) one cycle target for the labeling and control reagents, and the labeled RNA was hybridized in an Affymetrix Hybridization Oven 640 for sequencing.

Project description:Studies of mucosal infections have mainly focused on the acute phase at single timepoints, whilst little is known about the host recovery phase. We characterised temporal changes to colonic epithelial cells during the late steady-state, clearance and recovery phases of Citrobacter rodentium infection in C57BL/6 mice. Changes to immuno-metabolism and innate immunity peaked at 10-13 days post infection (DPI) and recovered from 17 DPI. Multiple DNA sensing receptors (ZBP1, STING), pyroptotic (Caspase-1 and -8, GSDMD) and necroptotic (RIPK3, MLKL) proteins were enriched; Ripk3, but not Mlkl, knockout mice presented exacerbated diarrhoea and pathology at 10 DPI. We defined a new “host recovery” phase, characterised by IFN responses and manifested by high abundance of the immunoproteasome and MHC class II subunits, which is unresolved 4 weeks following pathogen clearance. These findings represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of mucosal surfaces recovery from infection.
