The tumor virus landscape of AIDS-related lymphomas

ABSTRACT: Immunodeficiency dramatically increases susceptibility to cancer as a result of reduced immune surveillance and enhanced opportunities for virus-mediated oncogenesis. While AIDS-related lymphomas (ARLs) are frequently associated with known oncogenic viruses, many cases contain no known transforming virus. To discover novel transforming viruses, we profiled a set of ARL samples using whole transcriptome sequencing. We determined that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was the only virus detected in the tumor samples of this cohort, suggesting that if unidentified pathogens exist in this disease, they are present in fewer than 10% of cases or undetectable by our methods. To evaluate the role of EBV in ARL pathogenesis, we analyzed viral gene expression and found highly heterogeneous patterns of viral transcription across samples. We also found significant heterogeneity of viral antigen expression across a large cohort, with many patient samples presenting with restricted type I viral latency, indicating that EBV latency proteins are under increased immunosurveillance in the post-CART era. Furthermore, EBV infection of lymphoma cells in HIV-positive individuals was associated with a distinct host gene expression program. These findings provide insight into the joint host-virus regulatory network of primary ARL tumor samples and expand our understanding of virus-associated oncogenesis. Our findings may also have therapeutic implications, as treatment may be personalized to target specific viral and virus-associated host processes that are only present in a subset of patients.

The three-dimensional structure of the EBV genome plays a crucial role in regulating viral gene expression in EBVaGC [RNA-seq]

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes lifelong asymptomatic infection by replication of its chromatinized episomes with the host genome. EBV exhibits different latency-associated transcriptional repertoires, each with distinct three-dimensional structures. CTCF, Cohesin and PARP1 are involved in maintaining viral latency and establishing episome architecture. Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) represents 1.3% to 30.9% of all gastric cancers globally. EBV-positive gastric cancers exhibit an intermediate viral transcription profile known as "Latency II", expressing specific viral genes and noncoding RNAs. In this study, we investigated the impact of PARP1 inhibition on CTCF/Cohesin binding in Type II latency. We observed destabilization of the binding of both factors, leading to a disrupted three-dimensional architecture of the episomes and an altered viral gene expression. Despite sharing the same CTCF binding profile, Type I, II, and III latencies exhibit different 3D structures that correlate with variations in viral gene expression. Additionally, our analysis of H3K27ac-enriched interactions revealed differences between Type II latency episomes and a link to cellular transformation through docking of the EBV genome at specific sites of the Human genome, thus promoting oncogene expression. Overall, this work provides insights into the role of PARP1 in maintaining active latency and novel mechanisms of EBV-induced cellular transformation.

Ceramide Promotes Lytic Reactivation of Epstein-Barr Virus in Gastric Carcinoma

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has a lifelong latency period after initial infection. Rarely, however, when the EBV immediate early gene BZLF1 is expressed by a specific stimulus, the virus switches to the lytic cycle to produce progeny viruses. We found that EBV infection reduced levels of various ceramide species in gastric cancer cells. As ceramide is a bioactive lipid implicated in the infection of various viruses, we assessed the effect of ceramide on the EBV lytic cycle. Treatment with C6-ceramide (C6-Cer) induced an increase in the endogenous ceramide pool and increased production of the viral product as well as BZLF1 expression. Treatment with the ceramidase inhibitor ceranib-2 induced EBV lytic replication with an increase in the endogenous ceramide pool. The glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor Genz-123346 inhibited C6-Cer-induced lytic replication. C6-Cer induced ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation, c-JUN expression, and accumulation of the autophagosome marker LC3B. Treatment with MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 or autophagy initiation inhibitor 3-MA suppressed C6-Cer-induced EBV lytic replication. In contrast, the autophagosome-lysosome fusion inhibitor chloroquine induced BZLF1 expression. Transfection with siCREB reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and C6-Cer-induced BZLF1 expression. On the other hand, siJUN transfection did not affect BZLF1 expression. Our results show that increased endogenous ceramide and glycosyl ceramide (GlyCer) following C6-Cer treatment induce EBV lytic replication in gastric cancer cells via ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation and autophagosome accumulation.

Expression data from CCL185 carcinoma cell line transiently infected with EBV

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) is associated with malignancies from lymphoid and epithelial origin. In many cases, an incomplete EBV association is noted and confoundswhate role the virus plays in oncogenesis. A number of viral proteins have been shown to interact with epigenetic factors to regulate both viral and host gene expression. Thus, we hypothesize that EBV may inadvertantly induce epigenetic alterations to the host genome that are maintained upon loss of the virus. If proven, these results would broaden EBV's role in tumorigenesis and provide a mechanism for how a tumor virus can act in a "hit-and-run" fashion. We examined EBV-induced epigenetic alterations in a setting of viral redundancy and loss. With mounting evidence that EBV can induce epigenetic alterations, we developed a transient infection model where a clonal derivative (designated cl3) from the CCL185/A549 cell line was infected with a recombinant EBV carrying neomycin resistance cassette in place of the BDLF3 open reading frame. Infected cells were passaged ten times, and then selection pressure was removed for an additional ten passages to allow for viral loss. Three transiently-infected EBV-negative clones were identified by single cell cloning (designated 10-9, 10-10, and 10-14). Uninfected parental clone and cells transfected with pcDNA3 plasmid were passaged alongside the transiently-infected clones. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate.

Comparative Analysis of Gammaherpesvirus Circular RNA

Project description:Recent studies have identified circular RNAs (circRNAs) expressed from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) human DNA tu- mor viruses. To gain initial insights into the potential relevance of EBV circRNAs in virus biology and disease, we assessed the circRNAome of the interspecies homologue rhesus macaque lymphocryptovirus (rLCV) in a naturally occurring lymphoma from a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus macaque. This analysis revealed rLCV orthologues of the latency-associated EBV circular RNAs circRPMS1_E4_E3a and circEBNA_U. Also identified in two samples displaying unusually high lytic gene expres- sion was a novel rLCV circRNA that contains both conserved and rLCV-specific RPMS1 exons and whose backsplice junctions flank an rLCV lytic origin of replication (OriLyt). Analysis of a lytic infection model for the murid herpesvirus 68 (MHV68) rhadinovirus identified a cluster of circRNAs near an MHV68 lytic origin of replication, with the most abundant of these, circM11_ORF69, spanning the OriLyt. Lastly, analysis of KSHV la- tency and reactivation models revealed the latency associated circRNA originating from the vIRF4 gene as the predominant viral circRNA. Together, the results of this study broaden our appreciation for circRNA repertoires in the Lymphocryptovirus and Rhadinovirus genera of gammaherpesviruses and provide evolutionary support for vi- ral circRNA functions in latency and viral replication.

Nuclear lamina binds the EBV genome during latency and regulates viral gene expression [Hi-C]

Project description:Approximately 90% of the world population is infected with EBV and carries the virus in a silent, asymptomatic state for life. In immunocompromised individuals, EBV infection can cause B-cell transformation and malignancies. One approach to control EBV infectivity is by changing the expression of viral genes. We are interested in how epigenetics contributes to regulating the gene expression patterns adopted by EBV during latency. The host’s hijacking is a well know strategy adopted by viruses to modify the epigenome, the transcriptome and the proteome of the host with the aim to survive and remain silent in the host. We observed that in B cells, EBV infection mimics antigen-mediated activation, resulting in the induction of specific proteins named Lamin A/C. Lamins have multiple and central roles: they provide nuclear physical support, anchor the heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery and seem to play a role in several nuclear functions requiring the chromatin structure rearrangement. The interaction with lamins has already been studied in the context of EBV lytic reactivation, but their role in the control of the EBV latency states and as epigenetic regulators of different EBV genes expression profiles has not been investigated. The binding of the Lamin AC to important regulatory regions of EBV genome was assessed through ChIP-Seq, and gene expression (RNA-Seq) profiles were evaluated in wild type and Lamin AC KO cell lines. Differences in protein and RNA expressions in B cells activated by using both EBV and a simulation of the immune response were analyzed. Our data suggest two main conclusions: lamins might contribute to the epigenetic control of EBV genes expression during latency changing the interaction of the host structural proteins with key regulatory regions in the viral genome and a possible mechanism with who EBV modifies the nucleus and hijacks cellular mechanisms.
