ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. The role of CD11c-plus DCs in the corneal response to to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection was investigated by depleting them prior to infection.
Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. The role of CD11c-plus DCs in the corneal response to to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection was investigated by depleting them prior to infection. Bone marrow cells from CD11c-DTR (C.FVB-Tg(Itgax-DTR/EGFP)57Lan/J) mice were transferred intravenously to irradiated BALB/cJ host mice. After 6 weeks, the bone marrow chimeric host mice were injected with diphtheria toxin (DT) to deplete CD11c-positive cells. Two days after injection, the mice were subjected to a standard corneal infection protocol using HSV-1.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine which genes are differentially regulated virus infection in RAW264.7 cells. Cells were infected with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) for 6h. Then the differentially regulated genes were analyzed, focusing on F-box proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases. RAW264.7 cells were infected with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV, MOI=1) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1, MOI=5) for 6h. Equal amounts of RNA were assayed for gene expression using Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine what are the effects of Src deficiency on innate antiviral response upon virus infection in RAW264.7 cells. Wild type and Src-/- RAW264.7 cells were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) for 6h. Then the differentially regulated genes were analyzed. Wild type and Src-/- RAW264.7 cells were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, MOI=1) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1, MOI=5) for 6h. Equal amounts of RNA were assayed for gene expression using Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays.
Project description:The neurogenic niches within the central nervous system serve as essential reservoirs for neural precursor cells (NPCs), playing a crucial role in neurogenesis. However, these NPCs are particularly vulnerable to infection by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). In the present study, we investigated the changes in the transcriptome of NPCs in response to Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. Using bulk RNA-Seq, the transcriptomes of HSV-1-infected NPCs were compared to those of uninfected samples at different time points in the presence or absence of antivirals.
Project description:We found that the germline transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4) is upregulated upon infection with wild-type herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). The goal of this experiment was to compare the cellular transcriptome of HEK293T cells that were infected with HSV-1 (KOS strain), or transfected with a plasmid encoding human DUX4.
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how RNA poymerase II (Pol II) occupancy changed in response to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection using ChIP-seq of Pol II. ChIP assays were performed 4 hours after cells were infected (or mock infected) with HSV-1. Because host cell Pol II transcribes the HSV-1 genome, the ChIP-seq data also reveal polymerase occupancy on the viral genome.

Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the whole transcriptional profile (RNA-seq) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected and mock infected human fibroblast KMB17 strain at 48 hours post infection.There is increasing evidence that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in diverse pathogenesis processes; however, their roles in virus infection remain unclear. Here, we profiled global changes of circRNAs, genes and microRNA (miRNAs) under herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection by RNA-seq. Numerous dysregulated transcripts comprised of 536 circRNAs, 3,885 genes and 207 miRNAs were found during viral infection. The dysregulated genes were enriched to NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway and pathways of apoptosis, cell cycle progression and cell death, all of which may be implicated in viral pathogenesis and cellular immunity. Further integration analysis of circRNAs, genes and miRNAs reveals putative involvement of circRNAs in viral pathogenesis and antiviral immunity by circRNA-miRNA-gene regulatory axis. This work provides a comprehensive view for dysregulated circRNAs induced by HSV-1 and their interplay with miRNAs and genes, thus offering new insights into the mechanisms of interactions between HSV-1 and its host.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine what are the effects of TAO3 deficiency on innate antiviral response upon virus infection in RAW264.7 cells. Wild type and Tao3−/− RAW264.7 cells were infected with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) for 6h. Then the differentially regulated genes were analyzed.
