Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common herpesvirus that persistently infects a large portion of the world's population. Despite the robust host immune response, HCMV is able to replicate, evade host defenses, and establish latency throughout the lifespan by developing multiple immunomodulatory strategies, making the studies on the interaction between HCMV infection and host response particularly important. HCMV has a strict host specificity that specifically infects humans. Therefore, most of the in vivo researches of HCMV rely on clinical samples. Fortunately, the establishment of humanized mouse models allows for convenient in-lab animal experiments involving HCMV infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq) enables the study of the relationship between viral and host gene expressions at the single-cell level within host cells. In this study, we assessed the gene expression alterations of PBMCs at the single-cell level within HCMV-infected humanized mice, which sheds light onto the virus-host interactions in the context of HCMV infecton of humanized mice and provides a valuable dataset for the related researches.
Project description:Dendritic cells were infected with human cytomegalovirus (CMV) for 4, 8 or 12 hours. Single-cultures of dendritic cells serve as controls. RNA was isolated and processed for next generation sequencing.
Project description:Through RNA sequencing and reactome analyses, we report that type I interferon response is elicited in the spleen of HIV-1-infected humanized mice when compared to mock-infected humanized mice.
Project description:Through RNA sequencing and gene ontology analyses, we report that immune activation is elicited in the spleen of 4 HIV-1-infected humanized mice when compared to 4 mock-infected humanized mice.
Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing of liver cells enriched for Non-Parenchymal cells (NPCs) to see the percentage of humanizaton, the gene signature and the heterogeneity of most types of human NPCs in a humanized liver.
Project description:We report the transcriptome profiles of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (Caviid betaherpesvirus 2 ; GPCMV) infected and uninfected cells. RNA was harvested at an early time post-infection. Data sets from a lung fibroblast cell line (JH4), primary amnion derived cells (1° AECs), and HPV16 E6/E7-transduced amniotic epithelial cells (AECD) is shared.
