Transcriptional Profiling of Meq-dependent Genes in Marek’s Disease Resistant and Susceptible Inbred Chicken Lines

ABSTRACT: Marek’s disease (MD) is an economically significant disease in chickens caused by the highly oncogenic Marek’s disease virus (MDV). Understanding the genes and biological pathways that confer MD genetic resistance should lead towards the development of more disease resistant commercial poultry flocks or improved MD vaccines. MDV Meq, a bZIP transcription factor, is largely attributed for viral oncogenicity though only a few host target genes have been described, which has impeded our understanding of MDV-induced tumorigenesis. Given the importance of Meq in MDV-induced pathogenesis, we explored the role of Meq in genetic resistance to MDV. Using global transcriptome analysis to compare the host response between birds challenge with either wild type MDV or a recombinant lacking Meq, we identified a number of specific genes and pathways associated with either MD resistance. Integrating prior information from ChIP-seq, microarray analysis, and SNPs exhibiting allele-specific expression (ASE) in response to MDV infection from two inbred layer lines that differ greatly in MD genetic resistance, we were able to provide a evidence for 35 genes that SNPs within transcription factor binding sites can affect transcription factor binding and gene expression in an allele-specific manner.

Integrated analyses of genome-wide DNA occupancy and expression profiling identify key genes and pathways involved in cellular transformation by Marek's disease oncoprotein, Meq

Project description:Marek’s disease (MD) is an economically significant disease in chickens caused by the highly oncogenic Marek’s disease virus (MDV). A major unanswered question is the mechanism of MDV-induced tumor formation. Meq, a bZIP transcription factor discovered in the 1990s, is critically involved in viral oncogenicity but only a few of its host target genes have been described impeding our understanding of MDV-induced tumorigenesis. Using ChIP-seq and microarray analysis, a high confidence list of Meq-binding sites in the chicken genome and a global transcriptome of Meq-responsive genes was generated. Meq binding sites were found to be enriched in the promoter regions of up-regulated genes, but not in those of down-regulated genes. ChIP-seq was also performed for c-Jun, a known heterodimeric partner of Meq. Close location of binding sites of Meq and c-Jun was noted, suggesting cooperativity between these two factors in modulating transcription. Pathway analysis indicated that Meq transcriptionally regulates many genes that are part of several signaling pathways include the ERK/MAPK, Jak-STAT, and ErbB pathways that are critical for oncogenesis and/or include signaling mediators involved in apoptosis. Meq activates oncogenic signaling cascades by transcriptionally activating major kinases in the ERK/MAPK pathway and simultaneously repressing phosphatases, as verified using inhibitors of MEK and ERK1/2 in a cell proliferation assay. This study provides significant insights into the mechanistic basis of Meq-dependent cell transformation.

Host transcriptome profiling analysis induced by Md5BAC △meq△pp38, Md5BAC △LORF9, Md5BAC △UL23 recombinant viruses

Project description:Marek’s disease virus (MDV) induces immunosuppression and neoplastic disease in chickens. The virus is controllable via an attenuated meq deletion mutant virus which has the disadvantage of retaining the ability to induce lymphoid organ atrophy. To overcome this deficiency and produce more vaccine candidates, a recombinant MDV was generated from the highly virulent Md5BAC strain, in which both meq and a cytolytic replication related gene, pp38, were deleted. In addition, LORF9 and UL23 genes were separately deleted. Gene expression profiling analysis were compared between these recombinant viruses and the CVI988/Rispens vaccine strain and the Md5BAC wild strain using data obtained from RNA-seq.

Nuclear Factor Kappa B is central to Marek’s Disease lymphomagenesis

Project description:Chicken Marek’s disease (MD) is a unique naturally occurring model for human herpesvirus-induced lymphomas that over-express the “Hodgkin’s disease antigen” (TNFRSF-8; CD30) on the lymphoma’s neoplastically-transformed cells. We used transcriptomics, proteomics, computational systems biology and reductionist molecular biology to identify the differences between the CD30(hi) lymphoma cells and the non-transformed CD30(lo) MD lymphoma cells. We propose specific mechanisms of neoplastic transformation, genetic resistance to lymphomagenesis and impact of lymphoma microenvironment on CD30(hi) cell development. We demonstrate that: a) in situ, CD30(lo) cells are pre-neoplastic and we identify the proteome involved in transformation as well as potential mechanisms that may be controlled by MDV oncogene Meq; b) MD herpesvirus, (via its Meq oncogene) can drive a feed forward loop that induces CD30 transcription and overexpression, increased CD30 signaling, which then activates NFκB and, in turn, increases Meq transcription; c) Meq transcriptional repression or activation from the CD30 promoter generally correlates with a polymorphism in the CD30 promoter between MD-resistant and -susceptible chicken genotypes and so a herpesvirus has evolved to utilize NFκB as a direct transcriptional activator for its oncogene.

Marek's Disease Virus Infection Induces Differential Chromatin Marks and Tissue-specific effects in inbred chicken lines

Project description:Marek’s disease (MD) is a viral neoplastic disease in chickens caused by the MD virus (MDV). Successful vaccination strategies against MD have resulted in a progressive increase in the virulence of MDV and therefore, the understanding of genetic resistance to MD is considered crucial to the long-term control of the disease. Here we examine whether MDV infection induces changes in the epigenetic status of genes and whether this response is dependent on the host genotype. We generated genome-wide histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation maps in thymus tissues from chicken lines with varying resistance to MD. Differential chromatin marks were observed on several genes previously implicated in MD such as MX1, MMP2 and CTLA-4 and also on novel genes such as EAF2, IGF2BP1 and GAL. We also detected bivalent domains on transcriptional regulators such as BCL6, CITED2 and EGR1 that have particular functions in immune response. Moreover, novel putative roles for GAL and CITED2 in the mechanism of MD progression were uncovered. We also found tissue-specific effects of MDV infection with certain genes exhibiting differential marks only in spleen. Our results suggest widespread epigenetic changes are induced by MDV infection extent of which is determined by the level of MD resistance of the host.

Genome-wide copy number variant analysis in inbred lines of chickens with different susceptibility to Marek’s disease

Project description:Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncovirus causing tumor disease known as Marek’s disease (MD) in chicken. Breeding of chickens genetically resistant to MD is considered a vital augment to better control MD. To find the mechanism underlying the genetic resistance to MD, a genomic structural variation, copy number variation (CNV), was examined in inbred MD-resistant and -susceptible chicken lines by using the comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technique. A total of 45 copy number variation regions (CNVRs) were found spanning across 3,297,038 bp in length of the chicken genome in 4 lines of chickens. Ten CNVRs were selectively confirmed with quantitative real-time PCR. The comparison between the resistant and susceptible chicken lines revealed 28 differentially presented CNVRs, which are functionally involved in immune response, cell proliferation in midbrain, G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway, and protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Two CNVRs that are related with MD-resistance and –susceptibility were also found transmitted to descendent recombinant congenic lines that differ in susceptibility to MD. A positive correlation was identified between the CNVRs and gene expression, indicating the importance of gene expression dosage in disease resistance. We also found the overlapping between the CNVR region and the Marek’s disease trait related quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In conclusion, our data provided additional information elucidating one of possible mechanisms underlying of genetic resistance to MD. The findings may eventually lead to better strategies for genetic improvement of resistance to MD in poultry. L63: highly resistant to MD; L72: highly susceptible to MD; RCS-L: moderate resistant to MD; RCS-M: moderate susceptible to MD
