Project description:Baculovirus-encoded proteins can be efficiently produced following infection of different Drosophila cell lines. Epitope-tagged proteins produced in baculovirus-infected cells provide genome-wide profiles of the histone variant H2Av that are comparable to those produced by stably transformed cell lines. Keywords: Chromatin affinity-purification on microarray All experiments were done using strepavidin or FLAG pulldown DNA cohybridized with total input DNA to the same array. Two channels per array, Cy5 and Cy3, were used in each experiment.

Project description:The human Adeno-Associated Virus serotype 2 (WT AAV2) is a common non-pathological virus and its recombinant form (rAAV) is widely used as gene therapy vector. However, it has been shown that WT AAV2 and recombinant AAV display significantly different characteristics, especially regarding infection rate, with a near perfect infectivity and better encapsidation rate of WT AAV2. Even though rAAVs are routinely produced in the Baculovirus/Sf9 cell system, WT AAV2 has never been produced in this context. To understand the infectivity and encapsidation rate differences between WT AAV2 and rAAV, we tried to produce WT AAV2 in baculovirus/Sf9 cells system hypothesizing that the WT AAV2 may be considered as a normal recombinant AAV transgene. Through our attempts to produce WT AAV2 in Baculovirus/Sf9, we found that WT AAV2 p5 promoter, which controls the expression of large Rep proteins in mammalian cells, was active in this system. p5 promoter activity in the baculovirus/Sf9 cell system led to the expression of Rep78 that finally excises WT AAV2 genome from the baculovirus genome during the earliest phase of baculovirus stock production. The p5 promoter expression kinetics and the specific strand RNA-Seq analysis of the WT AAV2, rAAV Rep2/Cap2 cassettes in the baculovirus context was performed. We demonstrate that the WT AAV2 native promoters, p5, p19 and p40 are all active and lead to the expression of different proteins and peptides. In addition, this study demonstrates that the baculovirus brings at least some of the helper functions needed in the AAV replication/life cycle.

Project description:Baculovirus expression systems have been widely used to produce recombinant mammalian proteins owing to the lack of viral replication in vertebrates. Although several lines of evidence have demonstrated impacts of baculovirus infection in mammalian hosts, genome-wide effects have not been fully elucidated. Here, we provide comparative transcriptome profiles of baculovirus and host-immune response genes in recombinant baculovirus-infected mammalian and insect cells. Specifically, to decipher the impacts of baculovirus infection in mammalian cells, we conducted total RNA-seq on human 293 cells and insect Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus. We found that baculovirus genes were rarely expressed under the control of baculoviral promoters in 293 cells. Although some baculovirus early genes, such as PE38 and IE-01, showed limited expression in 293 cells, baculoviral late genes were mostly silent. We also found modest induction of a small number of mammalian immune response genes associated with Toll-like receptors, cytokine signaling, and complement in baculovirus-infected 293 cells. These comprehensive transcriptome data will contribute to improving recombinant baculovirus as tools for gene delivery, gene therapy, and vaccine development.

Project description:Baculovirus-insect cell culture technology is applied for the production of veterinary and human vaccines‚ gene delivery vectors‚ and biopesticides. The current study investigated systemic cell – virus interactions under different cell culture conditions resulting in differing in virus occlusion bodies (OB)/cell yields for HearNPV infected Hzea cells. 22 microarrays were used. While mRNA levels for most genes decreased, a core set of 14 genes consistently increased in all 11 different infection conditions studied‚ suggesting a conserved up regulation pattern of these genes upon baculovirus infections. KEGG pathway analysis found strongest responses by the genes for the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Topors in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway‚ GAPDH in the glycolytic pathway‚ and host DNA ligase and DNA helicase in the replication process. Weighted co expression network analysis determined a module and 5 hub genes that strongly correlated to OB/cell yields. The endoplasmic reticulum functional group was particularly reduced in low producing systems. Total virus mRNA and viral genome levels had positive correlations to OB/cell yields. Virus genes were expressed in a similar temporal pattern regardless of the cell lines‚ media or infection cell densityies used. The virus Chitinase gene and Superoxide dismutase gene may be particularly important for high productivities. Overall this genome-scale expression study of different infection conditions provides insights into host insect cell responses to baculovirus infections and suggests gene expression changes that are likely important for high virus yields.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) as small non-coding RNAs play important roles in many biological processes such as development, cell signalling and immune response. Studies also suggest that miRNAs are important in host–virus interactions where the host limits virus infection by differentially expressing miRNAs that target essential viral genes. Here, we identified conserved and new miRNAs from Spodoptera frugiperda cells (Sf9) using a combination of deep sequencing and bioinformatics as well as experimental approaches. S. frugiperda miRNAs share common features of miRNAs in other organisms, such as uracil (U) at the 59 end of miRNA. The 59 ends of the miRNAs were more conserved than the 39 ends, revealing evolutionary protection of the seed region in miRNAs. The predominant miRNAs were found to be conserved among arthropods. The majority of homologous miRNAs were found in Bombyx mori, with 76 of the 90 identified miRNAs. We found that seed shifting and arm switching have happened in this insect’s miRNAs. Expression levels of the majority of miRNAs changed following baculovirus infection. Results revealed that baculovirus infection mainly led to an overall suppression of cellular miRNAs. We found four different genes being regulated by sfr-miR-184 at the post-transcriptional level. The data presented here further support conservation of miRNAs in insects and other organisms. In addition, the results reveal a differential expression of host miRNAs upon baculovirus infection, suggesting their potential roles in host–virus interactions. Seed shifting and arm switching happened during evolution of miRNAs in different insects and caused miRNA diversification, which led to changes in the target repository of miRNAs.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a promising cell source for regenerative medicine and can be genetically modified with viral vectors, yet how hMSCs respond to viral vector transduction remains poorly understood, leaving the safety concerns unaddressed. Hereby we explored the responses of hMSCs against an emerging DNA viral vector, baculovirus (BV), and uncovered that BV transduction perturbed the transcription of 816 known genes associated with several signaling pathways.

Project description:Sequence analysis of the Lymantria dispar multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV) genome identified an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 548-amino-acid (62-kDa) protein that showed 35% amino acid sequence identity with vaccinia virus ATP-dependent DNA ligase. Ligase homologs have not been reported from other baculoviruses. The ligase ORF was cloned and expressed as an N-terminal histidine-tagged fusion protein. Incubation of the purified protein with [alpha-32P]ATP resulted in formation of a covalent enzyme-adenylate intermediate which ran as a 62-kDa labeled band on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. Loss of the radiolabeled band occurred upon incubation of the intermediate with pyrophosphate, poly(dA) . poly(dT)12-18, or poly(rA) . poly(dT)12-18, characteristics of a DNA ligase II or III. The protein was able to ligate a double-stranded synthetic DNA substrate containing a single nick and inefficiently ligated a 1-nucleotide (nt) gap but did not ligate a 2-nt gap. It was able to ligate short, complementary overhangs but not blunt-ended double-stranded DNA. In a transient DNA replication assay employing six plasmids containing the LdMNPV homologs of the essential baculovirus replication genes, a plasmid containing the DNA ligase gene was neither essential nor stimulatory. All of these results are consistent with the activity of type III DNA ligases, which have been implicated in DNA repair and recombination.

Project description:The protozoan parasite Theileria parva infects and transforms bovine lymphocytes inducing uncontrolled proliferation. The transforming schizont resides free in the host cell cytoplasm and it is assumed that proteins released from the parasite contribute to host cell transformation and parasite persistence. The identification and characterisation of parasite genes encoding candidate secreted proteins constitutes a first step towards elucidating this complex process. In earlier work, it was shown that the genes encoding subtelomere-encoded variable secreted proteins (SVSPs) are located at the subtelomeres of all four T. parva chromosomes and, with 85 members, form the largest Theileria gene family. The majority of predicted proteins contain signal peptides, suggesting secretion into the host cell cytoplasm. We analysed SVSP expression in T. parva-transformed cell lines established in vitro by infection of T or B lymphocytes with cloned T. parva parasites. Preliminary microarray followed by quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed mRNA expression for a wide range of SVSP genes. The pattern of mRNA expression was neither influenced by the cell type transformed by T. parva, nor by the animal background. Instead, the pattern of SVSP mRNA expression was largely defined by the parasite genotype and found to be relatively stable when monitored in vitro over a period of two months. Experiments using antibodies raised against the SVSP TP03_0882 provided first evidence for protein expression. Interestingly, results indicate that SVSP expression in cell lines established from a cloned parasite is limited to only a small percentage of parasites, suggesting SVSP expression by individual parasites is restricted. Expression of epitope-tagged TP03_0882 in mammalian cells revealed nuclear translocation and localisation to different nuclear compartments, including nucleoli, nucleoplasm and other nuclear bodies. Nuclear translocation to the mammalian cell nucleus was shown to involve two different types of nuclear localisation signals present in the conserved C-terminal region of TP03_0882. This first characterisation, opens up possibilities for future studies on the regulation of gene expression and the biological role of these enigmatic proteins.
