Transcriptome Analysis of Porcine Immune Cells Stimulated by Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) and Caesalpinia sappan Extract

ABSTRACT: The current level of knowledge on transcriptome responses triggered by Caesalpinia sappan (CS) extract in porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection is limited. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to detect significant genes and pathways involved in CS extract supplementation responsiveness of PBMCs after PRRSV infection. RNA sequencing was conducted on PBMCs, which were isolated from six weaned piglets. The resultant transcriptional responses were examined by mRNA sequencing. Differential expression analysis identified 263 and 274 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the PRRSV and CTRL groups, and the PRRSV+CS and CTRL groups, respectively. Among these, ZNF646 and KAT5 emerged as the most promising candidate genes, potentially influencing the interaction between PRRSV-infected PBMCs and CS extract supplementation through the regulation of gene networks and cellular homeostasis during stress. Two pathways were detected to be associated with CS extract supplementation responsiveness: the cellular response to stress pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway. Consequently, our study reveals a novel mechanism underlying cellular stress response and the NF-κB signaling pathway in PRRSV-infected PBMCs, and identifies a potential application of CS extract for activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. In conclusion, by supplementing CS extract in PBMC cells infected with PRRSV, we found that CS extract modulates PRRSV infection by inducing cellular stress, which is regulated by the NF-κB signaling pathway. This induced stress creates an adverse environment for PRRSV survival. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the therapeutic targets and pathogenesis of PRRSV infection. Importantly, our results demonstrate that CS extract has the potential to be a candidate for modulating PRRSV infection.

Project description:Colitis is the common pathological lesion of inflammatory bowel diseases, the major chronic inflammatory diseases of intestinal tracts in humans. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of ginger extract and its component zingerone in mice with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. Mice were administered with TNBS and/or various amounts of ginger and zingerone by an intrarectal route. The severity of colitis was evaluated by colonic weight/length ratio, macroscopic lesion, and histological examination. The mechanisms of ginger and zingerone were further elucidated by DNA microarray, ex vivo imaging, and immunohistochemical staining. Our data showed that treatment with ginger extract and zingerone ameliorated TNBS-induced colonic inflammation and injury in a dose-dependent manner. Pathway analysis of ginger- and zingerone-regulated gene expression profiles showed that ginger and zingerone significantly regulated cytokine-related pathways. Network analysis showed that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were key molecules involved in the expression of ginger- and zingerone-affected genes. Ex vivo imaging and immunohistochemical staining further verified that ginger and zingerone suppressed TNBS-induced NF-κB activation and decreased the NF-κB and IL-1β protein levels in the colon. In conclusion, our data showed that ginger improved the TNBS-induced colitis in mice via modulation of NF-κB activity and IL-1β signaling pathway. Moreover, zingerone might be the active component of ginger responsible for the amelioration of colitis induced by TNBS. A total of 24 mice was randomly divided into four groups of six mice: mock, mice were given with 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS, mice were given with 250 mg/kg TNBS in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS/ginger, mice were administered with mixtures containing 250 mg/kg TNBS and various amounts of ginger extract in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS/zingerone, mice were given with mixtures containing 250 mg/kg TNBS and various amounts of zingerone in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol. Mice were sacrificed seven days later for histochemical staining, RNA extraction, and ex vivo imaging.

Project description:Aim： Use microarray analysis to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of aristolochic acid (AA), a major active component of plants from the Aristolochiaceae family, in normal human kidney (HK-2) cells. Methods： HK-2 cells were treated with AA for 24 hours and cell viability was measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Complementary DNA microarrays were used to investigate the gene expression pattern of HK-2 cells exposed to AA and the results of this study were in triplicate. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay was used to verify the microarray data for selected nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-regulated genes. Furthermore, subcellular localization of NF-κB p65 was visualized by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy in HK-2 cells. NF-κB activity was examined by luciferase reporter assay in HK-2/NF-κB transgenic cells. Results： AA exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in HK-2 cells and induced alterations in gene expression profiles related to DNA damage response, stress response, etc. In addition, 9 biological pathways associated with immunomodulatory functions were down-regulated in AA-treated HK-2 cells. Network analysis revealed that NF-κB played a central role in the network topology. Among NF-kB-regulated genes, 8 differentially expressed genes were verified by real-time RT-PCR. The inhibition of NF-κB activity by AA was further confirmed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy and by NF-κB luciferase reporter assay. Conclusion： Our data revealed that AA could suppress NF-κB activity in normal human cells, perhaps partially accounting for the reported anti-inflammatory effects of some plants from the genus Aristolochia. HK-2 cells were grown in keratinocyte serum-free basal medium (Gibco) supplemented with 5 ng/ml of recombinant epidermal growth factor and 50 μg/ml of bovine pituitary extract without antibiotics in 5 % CO2 at 370C. HK-2 cells were seeded in 25-T flasks and incubated for 24 h before aristolochic acid treatment. Aristolochic acid (10 90 μM) were added to HK-2 cells for 24 h. The control cells received equal amounts of water only.
