Project description:Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a virus infecting swine and causes swine abortion. Previously, non-structural protein 11 (Nsp11) from PRRSV was shown to have inhibitory function to type I IFN signaling. In this project, we want to see in addition to type I IFN, whether other cellular pathways are influenced by Nsp11 systemtically. A cell line stably expressing PRRSV Nsp11 was established, designated as MARC-Nsp11 cells, and an RNA microarray was conducted using these cells and WT MARC-145 cells MARC-145 and MARC-Nsp11 cells were seeded one day prior to experiments and total cellular RNAs were extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen) and purified by RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). The quantity and quality of RNA were determined using an Align 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo, Alto, CA, USA), and the RNA integrity was determined above 7. The RNA samples were then subjected to microarray using Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix UK Ltd, High Wycombe, UK) at the Keck Biotechnology Center, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL). The microarray was repeated twice in duplicates each.
Project description:We found that fuse ΔLMP1 to MAVS could strengthen MAVS mediated inhibition of PRRSV replication in MARC-145 cells. To better understand the biological function of the fusion protein ΔLMP1-MAVS, overall gene expression of MARC-145 cells transfected with ΔLMP1-MAVS or MAVS was evaluated by mRNA-seq. The result showed that ΔLMP1-MAVS upregulated a number of genes associated with innate immune responses to viral infection, including plenty of interferon-stimulated genes. This study provides reference date to research the working mechanism of ΔLMP1-MAVS.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to monitor the evolution pattern of Shaan virus in depending host cells by viral transcriptome sequencing analysis of MARC145, A549, HEK293, and HRT18 cells infected with Shaan virus. Methods: The original isolate of Shaan virus (B16-40, Genbank accession no. MG230624.1) was passaged in MARC-145 cells. Low-passaged virus was obtained from the virus 4 times serially passaged in MARC-145 cells. The shaan virus which was 44 times serially passaged in MARC-145 cells was used for high-passaged virus. The prepared low- (p4) and high passaged shaan virus (p44) in MARC-145 cells were inoculated in triplicate to different host cells, HEK-293, A549, and HRT18 cell lines at M.O.I of 0.5 for 2 hours. The infected cells were incubated with the maintenance medium for each cell line for 24hrs. The infected cell pellets were resuspended to 250µl with fresh medium, to extract RNA for the high-throughput sequencing. The RNA samples were sequenced with illumine TruSeq Strand Total RNA LT kit and illumine NovaSeq6000 plaform form Macrogen, Inc (Seoul, Korea) for high throughput sequencing. The raw reads were trimmed with BBDuk and mapped the isolate Bat-ParaV/B16-40 (Genebank accession number. MG230624.1) with Bowtie 2 using Geneious program 2021.2.2. Transcript expression level in cells infected with shaan virus were calculated based on annotation on a reference shaan virus. Result: The total reads counts were between 50,285,454 and 76,298,278. The reference mapping of the trimmed reads with a reference genome (Genbank accession no. MG230624.1) showed different coverage values. The mapped reads were normalized and expressed as Transcript per Million (TPM) value. There were no noticeable differences of TPM values of each gene between the cells infected with low- and high-passaged shaan virus. However, the nucleocapsid (N) and matrix (M) gene-associated transcripts were shown to be differently measured among the host cells. Conclusion: In this regard, we tried to investigate certain selected mutation patterns by host switching using shaan virus isolate in MARC-145 cells. Therefore, this study provided potential evidence for host-specific selective mutation patterns by cell types as well as host of cells for shaan virus evolution.
