Project description:Understanding the complexity of the long-lived HIV reservoir during antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains a major impediment for HIV cure research. To address this, we developed single-cell viral ASAPseq to precisely define the unperturbed peripheral blood HIV-infected memory CD4+ T cell reservoir from antiretroviral treated people living with HIV (ART-PLWH) via the presence of integrated accessible proviral DNA in concert with epigenetic and cell surface protein profiling. We identified profound reservoir heterogeneity within and between ART-PLWH, characterized by novel and known surface markers within total and individual memory CD4+ T cell subsets. We further uncovered novel epigenetic profiles and transcription factor motifs enriched in HIV-infected cells that suggest infected cells with accessible provirus, irrespective of reservoir distribution, are poised for reactivation during ART treatment. Together, our findings reveal the extensive inter- and intrapersonal cellular heterogeneity of the HIV reservoir, and establish an initial multiomic atlas to develop targeted reservoir elimination strategies.
Project description:BbMBF1 played crucial roles in mediating response the prolonged thermal stress, a determinant to the environmental fitness of fungal entomopathogens. We characterized for the first time that disruption of BbMBF1 reduced the mycelial tolerance to the 9-h thermal stress under 40°C. The global transcriptome involved in the response to the thermal stress was analyzed by using high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq). Our transcriptional profiles revealed that numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which involved in metabolism, cell transport and cell rescue, were significantly involved in fungal response to the themal stress.

Total RNA obtained from BbMBF1 disruption mutant were compared to that of wild type strain under control conditin (free of thermal stress); 2. Total RNA obtained from BbMBF1 disruption mutant were compared to that of WT strain under 9-h thermal stress at 40°C.
