Transcriptomic analysis of Organs Following Stem Cell Therapy for Dengue (Denv 2) Infection

ABSTRACT: Dengue virus can infect and cause systemic damage in many organs, resulting in organ failure. Here, we present a novel report showing a tailored stem cell-based therapy which can aid in viral clearance and rescue liver and blood vessels cells from further damage during dengue infection by administering combination of hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells and dental pulp stem cells in a dengue virus-infected BALB/c mouse model. To analyze the molecular level changes induced by DENV infection and stem cell treatment in dengue-infected mice, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) using MiSeq next-generation sequencing was employed in this study. Transcriptomics analysis was performed comparing gene expression patterns in different experimental groups. Methods: Liver mRNA profiles of 21-day-old healthy, Dengue virus infected, and dengue infected plus stem cells treated BALB/C mice were generated by sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Miseq V3 150. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were assembled and analyzed using Tuxedo software. The results were analyzed using Cuffdiff to identify differentially expressed genes and transcripts. The relative expression of genes was determined based on FPKM (total fragments per kilobase of exon per million mapped reads) values Results: After analysis, it was found that 59 genes were significantly up-regulated in the DVI group, and in the DVI-SCT group, 47 of the genes were successfully corrected to the level similar to that of control group, while the remaining genes showed down-regulation Conclusion: In the recent years, the incidence of dengue has continued to increase, but there is currently no rapid and effective treatment available. This study demonstrates stem cell therapy as a promising management to reduce the global burden of dengue.

Project description:Background. Dengue caused by dengue virus (DENV) serotypes -1 to -4 is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the tropical and sub-tropical countries worldwide. Yet many of the pathophysiological mechanisms of host responses during DENV infection remain largely unknown and incompletely understood. Methods. Using a mouse model, the miRNA expressions in liver during DENV-1 infection was investigated using high throughput miRNA sequencing. The differential expression of miRNAs were then validated by qPCR, followed by target genes prediction. The identified miRNA targets were subjected to gene ontology (GO) annotation and pathway enrichment analysis to elucidate the potential biological pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with DENV-1 infection. Results. A total of 224 and 372 miRNAs out of 433 known mouse miRNAs were detected in the livers of DENV-1-infected and uninfected mice, respectively; of these, 207 miRNAs were present in both libraries. The miR-148a-3p and miR-122-5p were the two most abundant miRNAs in both groups. Thirty-one miRNAs were found to have at least 2-fold change in upregulation or downregulation, in which seven miRNAs were upregulated and 24 miRNAs were downregulated in the DENV-1-infected mouse livers. The miR-1a-3p was found to be the most downregulated miRNA in the DENV-1-infected mouse livers, with a significant fold change of 0.10. To validate the miRNA sequencing result, the expression pattern of 12 miRNAs, which were highly differentially expressed or most abundant, were accessed by qPCR and nine of them correlated positively with the one observed in deep sequencing. In silico functional analysis revealed that the adaptive immune responses involving TGF-beta, MAPK, PI3K-Akt, Rap1, Wnt and Ras signalling pathways were modulated collectively by 23 highly differentially expressed miRNAs during DENV-1 infection. Conclusion. This study provides the first insight into the global miRNA expressions of mouse livers in response to DENV-1 infection in vivo and the possible roles of miRNAs in modulating the adaptive immune responses during DENV-1 infection.
