Identification of genes critical for resistance to infection by West Nile virus using RNA-Seq analysis

ABSTRACT: Background: West Nile virus is an emerging infection of biodefense concern and there are no available treatments or vaccines. Here we used a high-throughput method based on a novel gene expression analysis, RNA-Seq, to give a global picture of differential gene expression by primary human macrophages of 10 healthy donors infected in vitro with WNV. Results: From a total of 50 million reads per sample, we employed a Bayesian hierarchical mixture model to identify 4,026 transcripts that were differentially expressed after infection. Both predicted and novel gene changes were detected, as were gene isoforms, and while many of the genes were expressed by all donors, some were unique. Knock-down of genes not previously known to be associated with WNV resistance identified their critical role in control of viral infection. Conclusions: Our study distinguishes both common gene pathways as well as novel cellular responses. Such analysis will be valuable for translational studies of susceptible and resistant individuals -- and for targeting therapeutics -- in multiple biological settings.

A Mouse Model of Chronic West Nile Virus Infection

Project description:Here, we characterize the RIX line CC(032x013)F1, which serves as a mouse model of chronic WNV infection. While studies using C57BL/6 mice have shown that WNV RNA can persist in the CNS up to 3 months post infection in a limited fraction of mice (Appler et al., 2010), to date there is a lack of a robust mouse model of chronic West Nile virus infection that can be used to elucidate the immune responses associated with this viral persistence and chronicity of symptoms described in human patients. Here, we characterize this line in comparison with lines showing either no disease symptoms or significant disease, and suggest a mechanism by which WNV infection can become chronic through alterations in immune responses. Microarrays were performed on spleen samples from mice collected at days 7,12,21,28 post-infection with west nile virus or from time-matched mock-infected animals.

Serum predictors of susceptibility to infection with West Nile virus

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne RNA flavivirus and the cause of more than 31,000 cases in the USA from 1999-2011 including 1, 262 fatalities. WNV infections are typically asymptomatic, but some patients, especially the elderly and immunocompromised, may experience severe neurological disease and even death. Control of WNV infection by the immune system is multifactorial. We profiled antibody, cytokine responses and gene expression from a stratified cohort of WNV subjects to define immune responses that contribute to disease severity and outcome. Differential gene expression by human PBMCs from asymptomatic and severe patients with WNV infection were generated by microarray.

Global gene expression in response to West Nile virus in mouse spleen and liver

Project description:Purpose of this experiment was to further understand how innate immune defenses impact host response and West Nile virus tissue tropism. This study examined host-transcriptional response to West Nile virus in permissive and nonpermissive tissues using wildtype mice and mice with genetically altered interferon signaling pathways. Age-matched six to twelve week old mice were inoculated subcutaneously in the left rear footpad with 100 PFU of West Nile virus isolate TX 2002-HC (WNV-TX) in a 10 microL inoculum diluted in Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with 1% heat-inactivated FBS. Mice were monitored daily for morbidity and mortality. Expression oligonucleotide arrays were performed on RNA isolated from spleen and liver tissues from strain and time-matched mock infected mice (n=2) and WNV-TX infected wild type (WT; n=3; day 4 post-infection), Ips-1-/-(n=3; day 4 post-infection), Ifnar-/- (n=3; day 2 post-infection), and Ips-1-/-xIfnar-/- (DKO; n=3; day 4 post-infection) mice.

Gene Expression Analysis in the Thalamus and Cerebrum of Horses Experimentally Infected with West Nile Virus

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to further our understanding of gene expression in the central nervous system (thalamus and cerebrum) after exposure to West Nile virus. To that end, three different analyses were performed. The first examined differences in gene expression between horses not vaccinated and exposed to WNV and normal control horses (exposure). The second examined differences in gene expression between horses not vaccinated and exposed to WNV and horses vaccinated and exposed to WNV (survival). And the third examined differences between the nonvaccinated cerebrum and nonvaccinated thalamus of horses exposed to WNV (location). Six conditions- Gene expression in the thalamus and cerebrum of three different groups of horses (Non-vaccinated horses exposed to West Nile virus, Vaccinated horses exposed to West Nile virus, normal horses not exposed to West Nile virus). Biological replicates- 6 normal cerebrums, 6 normal thalamus, 6 vaccinated and exposed cerebrums, 6 vaccinated and exposed thalamus, 6 non-vaccinated and exposed cerebrum, 6 non-vaccinated and exposed thalamus.

Profiling the successful response to infection with West Nile virus

Project description:Individual variations in immune status and function determine responses to infection and contribute to disease severity and outcome. Patients exhibit considerable variation in clinical responses to infection with West Nile virus. We have undertaken a comprehensive characterization of the immune responses of a stratified cohort of patients with a history of West Nile virus infection to identify key mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility. We provide molecular profiles of cellular mechanisms of primary human immune cells defined through multifaceted interrogation including multiplexed gene expression analysis integrated with highly sensitive multidimensional flow cytometry. The availability of reliably curated patient cohorts and data-sharing and data mining techniques of high-throughout investigations should accelerate identification of critical elements of immune resistance to important pathogens Differential gene expression by human PBMCs and macrophages from asymptomatic and severe patients with WNV infection or Poly I:C were generated by microarray.

Microarray Analysis of West Nile Virus infected Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Project description:Low-level infection is believed to play a role in the degradation of the outer blood retinal barrier, which is composed of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. By investigating immunopathogenic West nile virus (WNV) infected RPE via microarray, we sought to find key genes involved in a low-level viral infection, which are vital for normal immune responses. We infected primary human RPE cells and an human RPE cell line with WNV and extracted RNA to hybridize onto Affymetrix arrays. We were interested in the global expression of differentially regulated genes in WNV infected RPE cells, at 24h post infection. We were also interested in seeing the differences in response between infected primaries and the infected ARPE19 cell line.

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne RNA flavivirus which has caused more than 31,000 cases in the USA from 1999-2011 including 1,262 fatalities. WNV infections are typically asymptomatic, but some patients, especially the elderly and immunocompromised, may experience severe neurological disease and even death. Control of WNV infection by the immune system is multifactorial. We profiled antibody and cytokine responses from a stratified cohort of WNV subjects to define immune responses that contribute to disease severity. While antibody levels were not significantly different between asymptomatic and severely ill subjects in our cohort, subjects with severe infections had lower levels of serum IL-4. Further, we detected 158 genes that were differentially expressed by asymptomatic and severely infected cohorts and using cluster analysis correlated WNV susceptibility with IL-4 related gene expression pathways. Our results suggest an important contribution for IL4 in more severe responses to WNV.
