ABSTRACT: To elucidate the functional role of chicken IRF7 against avian influenza virus (AIV) infection, we generated inducible IRF7 knockout DF-1 cell lines and performed in vitro infection using low pathogenic AIVs (LPAIVs) followed by RNA-seq.
Project description:To elucidate the functional role of chicken IRF7 against avian influenza virus (AIV) infection, we generated inducible IRF7 overexpression DF-1 cell lines that could fine control the IRF7 expression level and performed in vitro infection using low pathogenic AIVs (LPAIVs) followed by RNA-seq.
Project description:In this study, an integrative high-throughput functional genomics approach was applied by combining overexpression and knockdown assays with RNA-seq; this side-by-side approach was taken in an effort to obtain corroboration and complementary support in the identification of potential genes that are under the control of IRF7. Transcriptiome analysis of Poly(I:C) induced IRF7 overexpression & knockdown DF-1 cell lines and their respective controls
Project description:The spontaneously immortalised chicken DF-1 cell line is rapidly replacing its progenitor primary chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) in studies on avian viruses but no comprehensive study has as yet been reported comparing their immune phenotype. We conducted microarray analysis of the DF-1 and CEF, in both normal and stimulated conditions using recombinant chicken chIFN-α and the CEF-adapted infectious bursal disease virus vaccine strain PBG98.
Project description:We utilize the natural cell line model (LMH and DF1) with different susceptibiltiy to H9N2 avian influenza virus to find out more and new potential key factors of influencing AIV infection and replication via a high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
Project description:Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian paramyxovirus that causes major economic losses to the poultry industry around the world, with NDV pathogenicity varying due to strain virulence differences. However, the impact of intracellular viral replication and the heterogeneity of host responses among cell types are unknown. Here, we investigated the heterogeneity of lung tissue cells in response to NDV infection in vivo and that of chicken embryo fibroblast cell line DF-1 to NDV infection in vitro using single-cell RNA sequencing.
Project description:Background:Dendritic cells (DCs), have the most important antigen presenting ability and played an irreplaceable role in recognizing and clearing virus. Antiviral responses must rapidly defend against infection while minimizing inflammatory damage, but the mechanisms that regulate the magnitude of response within an infected cell are not well understood. MicroRNA, small non-coding RNAs, that can regulate dendritic cells to inhibit the infection and replication of avian influenza virus. Here, we global analyses how avian DCs response to H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) and provide a potential mechanism of how avian microRNA defending H9N2 AIV replication. Results: Here, we global analyses how avian DCs response to H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) and provide a potential mechanism of how avian microRNA defending H9N2 AIV replication. First, we found that both active and inactive H9N2 AIV enhance the ability of DCs to present antigens and activate T lymphocytes. Next, total microarray analyses suggested that H9N2 AIV stimulation involved in protein localization, nucleotide binding and leukocyte transendothelial migration and MAPK signal pathways. Moreover, we construct 551 transcription factor (TF)-microRNA-mRNA loops based on the above analyses. Furthermore, we found that HA fragment could not activate DCs, while truncated HA highly increased the immune function of DCs by activating ERK and STAT3 signal pathway. Last, our insight research not only gained that gga-miR1644 might target to MBNL2 to enhanced avian DCs in inhibiting virus replication, but also suggested that gga-miR6675 target to the NLS of PB1 to trigger the silencing of PB1 genes and lead to inhibition of H9N2 avian influenza viral replication. All together, our innovative research will shed new light on the roles of avian microRNA in evoking avian DCs and inhibiting virus replication, which will suggest new strategies to combat avian influenza virus.
