Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Several members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate immune pathways including the antiviral type I interferon (IFN-I) system. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of IFN-I regulation upon West Nile virus infection using TRIM6 knockout (TRIM6-KO) human airway epithelial cells (A549). Methods: RNAs were extracted from wild-type (WT) and TRIM6KO A549 cells infected with WNV or mock-treated. RNA quality was assessed by visualization of 18S and 28S RNA bands using an Agilent BioAnalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, CA); the electropherograms were used to calculate the 28S/18S ratio and the RNA Integrity Number. Poly-A+ RNA was enriched from total RNA (1 μg) using oligo dT-attached magnetic beads. First and second strand synthesis, adapter ligation, and amplification of the library were performed using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Illumina, Inc). Library quality was evaluated using an Agilent DNA-1000 chip on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Quantification of library DNA templates was performed using qPCR and a known-size reference standard. Cluster formation of the library DNA templates was performed using the TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina) and the Illumina cBot workstation using conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Paired end 50 base sequencing by synthesis was performed using TruSeq SBS kit v3 (Illumina) on an Illumina HiSeq 1500 using protocols defined by the manufacturer. The alignment of NGS sequence reads was performed using the Spliced Transcript Alignment to a Reference (STAR) program, version 2.5.1b, using default parameters. We used the human hg38 assembly as a reference with the UCSC gene annotation file. The –quantMode GeneCounts option of STAR provided read counts per gene, which were input into the DESeq2 (version 1.12.1) differential expression analysis program to determine expression levels and differentially expressed genes. Processed data are presented as reads per kilobase transcript per million (RPKM). Results: Using next generation sequencing, we identified VAMP8 as a factor involved in this TRIM6-mediated antiviral response. In support, VAMP8 knockdown resulted in reduced Jak1 and STAT1 phosphorylation and impaired induction of several ISGs following WNV infection or IFNβ treatment. Conclusions: Our results provide evidence that TRIM6 contributes to the antiviral response against WNV and identified VAMP8 as a novel regulator of the IFN-I system
Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the global gene expression induced by OGG1-BER product 8-oxoG in mouse airways. Methods: RNA extracted from individual mouse lungs (experimental group: n=5) were pooled and a total 1 μg RNA was used for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analyses on an Illumina HiSeq 1000 sequencing system. Sequence analysis were performed in duplicate. First- and second-strand synthesis, adapter ligation and amplification of the library were performed using the Illumina TruSeq Sample Preparation Kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Illumina). Library quality was evaluated by using an Agilent DNA-1000 chip on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Library DNA templates were quantitated by qPCR using known reference starndards. Cluster formation of the library of DNA templates was performed using the TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina) and the Illumina cBot workstation. Paired-end, 50-base sequencing was performed with a TruSeq SBS kit v3 (Illumina) on the Illumina HiSeq 1000 by protocols defined by the manufacturer. Base call conversion to sequence reads was performed using CASAVA-1.8.2. Sequence data were analyzed with the Bowtie2, Tophat2 and GFOLD programs. Processed data are presented as reads per kilobase transcript per million (RPKM), normalized to the experimental control (RNA from saline-challenged lungs) and reported as fold change (test/control). Results: We mapped an average of 24.76 million sequence reads per sample and identified 23,337 transcripts in total RNA extracted from lungs of Balb/cJ mice as described in Methods. Approximately 10% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the saline-challenged control and 8-oxoguanine-challeged mouse lungs, with a fold change ≥3.0. We validated the expression changes of 7 selected pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines of interest for our studies by qRT-PCR. Hierarchical clustering followed by Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships database (PANTHER) analysis of differentially expressed genes. Results showed overrepresentation of various biological functions (GO terms) including immune system process (GO:0002376; p=5.24e-12) among others. Pathway analysis (PANTHER) indicated that the most overrepresented pathway was inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine (P00031, p=<0.01). In addition to gene expression analysis, we confirmed OGG1•8-oxoG-dependent RAS activation in lungs by active RAS pull-down assays, airways neutrophil accumulation by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) differential cell counts and airway inflammation by histological examination (H&E staining) of lung sections. Conclusions: This is the first study at the whole-transcriptome level to show induction of innate immune response gene expression in mouse lungs after exposure to OGG1-BER product 8-oxoG.

Hierarchical clustering followed by Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships database (PANTHER) analysis of differentially expressed genes was done using GENE-E online software from Broad Institute (http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/GENE-E/). Results from PANTHER analysis of upregulated transcripts (fold change ≥3.0) showed overrepresentation of various biological functions (GO terms) including developmental process (GO:0032502, P=4.58E-33), system development (GO:0048731, P=9.16E-33), cellular process (GO:0009987, P= 5.52E-31), cell adhesion (GO:0007155, P= 8.63E-28) among others. Pathway analysis (PANTHER) indicated that the most overrepresented pathways were: cadherin signaling (P00012, P=6.62E-07), wnt signaling (P00057, P= 5.81E-06), integrin signaling (P00034, P= 1.09E-05) among others. In addition to gene expression analysis, we confirmed airway remodeling by histological examination (Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's trichrome staining) of lung sections at seven days from the last challenge (day 11). Conclusions: This is the first study showing a link between gene expression at whole-transcriptome level induced by chronic OGG1-BER (mimicked by multiple challenges with 8-oxoG) and airway remodeling, supported by histological structural changes in lungs.

RNA was isolated at 5 post-infection using method II of (Hinton 1989). rRNA subtraction was performed with the bacterial RiboMinus Kit (Ambion) according to manufacturer instructions. cDNA was prepared using the NEBNext strand specific kit (New England BioLabs) according to manufacturer instruction for libraries with 300-450 bp insert size with the following modifications. Illumina adaptors sequences based on TruSeq HT Sample Prep Kits were purchase from Integrated DNA Technologies and used in the ligation step. TruSeq-1 and TruSeq-2 primer were used for PCR enrichment of adaptor ligated DNA. Library size was verified with a Bioanalyzer using an Agilent High Sensitivity DNA kit. The concentration of each library was determined using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit for Illumina platforms. Sequencing was performed by the NIDDK Genomics Core facility using a MiSeq system with the MiSeq 2 x 250 bp Sequencing Kit (Illumina). Result: RNA-seq data revealed that the expression of only six late genes, which decreased from 2 to 4.8-fold, were significantly affected in the T4motBam infection relative to T4 wt at 5 min after infection. The expression of early and middle genes did not change. Conclusion: MotB is a bactericidal DNA-binding protein that improves the fitness of T4 infections.

Project description:Purpose: Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) is a member of the PIAS family of protein and function as a transcriptional coactivator of Notch, Androgen Receptor (AR), p53, Estrogen Receptor (ER), and Smad3/4 . Despite Zmiz1 critical role in angiogenesis, its role in lymphatic vasculature is unknown. Here, we use HDLECs cell line to profile transcriptional changes upon Zmiz1 knockdown using siRNA. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from control and Zmiz1 siRNA transfected HDLECs using GeneJET RNA Purification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, K0732) following the manufacturer instructions. RNA concentration and RNA integrity (RIN) number were determined using Qubit RNA High Sensitivity Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Q32852) and Bioanalyzer RNA 6000 Nano assay kit (Agilent, 5067-1511) respectively. RNA library was prepared using TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2 (Illumina, RS-122-2001) according to the manufacturer instructions. mRNA library was quantified using Qubit dsDNA High Sensitivity Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Q32851) and verified using the Bioanalyzer DNA1000 assay kit (Agilent, 5067-1505). Verified samples were sequenced using the NextSeq1000/2000 P2 Reagents (200 Cycles) v3 (Illumina, 20046812) on a Nextseq1000/2000. Sequenced reads were aligned to the human (hg19) reference genome with RNA-Seq alignment tool (STAR aligner). The aligned reads were used to quantify mRNA expression and determine differentially expressed genes using the RNA-Seq Differential Expression tool (version 1.0.1). Both alignment and differential expression analysis were performed using the tools in the illumina BaseSpace Sequence Hub. Results: We found 2,228 differentially expressed genes of which 1,115 genes were upregulated while 1,113 genes were downregulated. Downregulated genes were enriched in biological processes such as lymph vessel development, cell migration and heart valve development. Conclusions: We identify Zmiz1 regulates Prox1 in lymphatic endothelial cells
