Pp65 mutant human cytomegalovirus infected human fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Abstract: We have identified a cytomegalovirus virion protein capable of modulating the rapid induction of an interferon-like response in cells that follows virus binding and penetration. Functional genomics revealed a role for the major cytomegalovirus structural protein, pp65 (ppUL83), in counteracting this response. The underlying mechanism involves a differential impact of this structural protein on the regulation of interferon response factor 3 (IRF-3). In contrast, NF-{kappa}B is activated independent of pp65, and neither STAT1 nor STAT3 becomes activated by either virus. pp65 is sufficient to prevent the activation of IRF-3 when introduced alone into cells. pp65 acts by inhibiting nuclear accumulation of IRF-3 and is associated with a reduced IRF-3 phosphorylation state. Thus, this investigation shows that the major structural protein of cytomegalovirus is committed to the modulation of the IRF-3 response, a primary mediator of the type I interferon response. By subverting IRF-3, the virus escapes throwing a central alarm devoted to both immediate antiviral control and regulation of the immune response. Polyadenylated RNA from 107 confluent HFs was purified by using Oligotex (QIAGEN, Valencia, Calif.) from Trizol (Invitrogen)-extracted total RNA. This RNA was prepared, reverse transcribed, labeled with Cy3-dUTP or Cy5-dUTP (Amersham, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom) by random primed synthesis with DNA pol I Klenow (Amersham Life Science, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio), and hybridized to spotted, human cDNA microarrays as previously described. Sequence-verified human cDNA microarrays (HE and HG series, 31,000 spots; HD51 series, 17,000 spots) were produced at Stanford. Images were collected by using a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner, manually flagged to eliminate poor spots and analyzed by GenePix Pro 2.0 (Axon, Union City, Calif.). A replicate experimental design type is where a series of replicates are performed to evaluate reproducibility or as a pilot study to determine the appropriate number of replicates for a subsequent experiments.

Project description:The data from these cell lines is described in figure 2 of the mansucript "Systemic and cell-type specific gene expression patterns in scleroderam skin" by Whitfield et al. (2003) PNAS. Aortic smooth muscle cells and microvascular endothelial cells were obtained from Clonetics and cultured in the recommended media; Hs578T myofibroblast-like cells were grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with phenol red, glutamine (2 mM) and 5% fetal calf serum; HeLa S3 epithelial cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and cultured as described in Whitfield et al., MBC, (2002). Normal, morphea and scleroderma fibroblasts were derived from normal, morphea and scleroderma skin biopsies taken by Dr. Kari Connolly at UCSF. In all cases, RNA was prepared from cells 48 hrs after changing the culture media to avoid the induction of serum responsive genes. Poly(A) RNA from each cell line was reverse-transcribed into Cy5-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA and reference RNA reverse-transcribed into Cy3-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA using standard methods. Cells grown in culture were analyzed on cDNA microarrays containing 40,512 elements representing 28,384 UniGene clusters (UniGene Build No. 155, released 9-28-2002) manufactured in the Stanford Microarray Facility (http://www.microarray.org). Equal amounts of Cy5- and Cy3-labeled cDNA were hybridized to spotted cDNA microarrays and scanned using a GenePix 4000A Scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Detailed protocols are available at http://brownlab.stanford.edu/protocols.html/. Data were extracted by superimposing a grid over each array using GenePix 3.0 software (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Spots of poor quality, determined by visual inspection, were excluded from further analysis. A cell type comparison design experiment design type compares cells of different type for example different cell lines. Keywords: cell_type_comparison_design
