Project description:We applied a custom tiled microarray to examine murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) polyadenylated transcript expression in a timecourse of de novo infection of fibroblast cells and following phorbol ester-mediated reactivation from a latently-infected B cell line. During de novo infection, all ORFs were transcribed and clustered into four major temporal groups that were overlapping, yet distinct from clusters based on the phorbol ester-stimulated B cell reactivation timecourse. High-density transcript analysis at two-hour intervals during de novo infection mapped gene boundaries with a 20-nt resolution, including a previously undefined ORF73 transcript and the MHV68 ORF63 homolog of KSHV vNLRP1. ORF6 transcript initiation was mapped by tiled array and confirmed by 5' RACE. The ~1.3 kb region upstream of ORF6 was responsive to lytic infection and MHV68 RTA, identifying a novel RTA-responsive promoter. Transcription in intergenic regions consistent with the previously defined expressed genomic regions was detected during both types of productive infection. We conclude that the MHV68 transcriptome during de novo fibroblast infection and upon phorbol ester-stimulated B cell reactivation is dynamic and distinct, highlighting the need to evaluate further transcript structure and the context-dependent molecular events that govern viral gene expression during chronic infection.

Project description:Murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts were infected with MHV68 and RNA expression was examined over an 18 hour timecourse experiment. Study includes 8 samples isolated at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 18 hours after infection of NIH3T3 fibroblasts with murine gammaherpesvirus 68 at a multiplicity of infection of 10.0.
Project description:Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) is closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and KaposiM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and provides a small animal model to study the pathogenesis of gammaherpesvirus (M-NM-3HV) infections. To completely explore the potential of the MHV-68 system for the investigation of gHV miRNAs, it would be desirable to know the number and expression patterns of all miRNAs encoded by MHV-68. By using small RNA deep sequencing, we systematically investigated the MHV-68 miRNA expression profiles in both lytically and persistently infected cells. In addition to the known nine MHV-68 miRNAs, we identified six novel MHV-68 miRNA genes and analyzed the expression levels of all MHV-68 miRNAs. Furthermore, we also characterized the cellular miRNA expression signatures in MHV-68 infected versus non-infected NIH3T3 fibroblasts and in TPA-treated versus non-treated S11 cells. We found that mmu-mir-15b and mmu-mir-16 are highly upregulated upon MHV-68 infection of NIH3T3 cells, indicating a potential role of cellular miRNAs during MHV-68 infection. Our data will aid to fully explore the functions of gHV miRNAs. A mouse fibroblast cell line infected with/without MHV-68 and a MHV-68 infected mouse B lymphoma cell line treated with/without TPA (4 samples in total) were examined.

Project description:We tested the effects of co-infection on vaccine response to YFV-17D. Groups of mice were divided into either Mock infected or Co-infected groups. Mock infected were housed in a biohazard facility and inoculated with PBS. Co-infected were infected sequentially with murine gammaherpesvirus-68, murine cytomegalovirus, influenza WSN, and Heligmosimoides polygyrus. Both mock and co-infected groups were challenged with Yellow Fever virus (YFV-17D). Day 0 is prior to YFV. Days 3, 7, and 21 were timepoints after YFV.
