Project description:The objective of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of uninfected DH82 cells, a canine histiocytic sarcoma cell line, with DH82 cells, persistently infected with the Onderstepoort strain of canine distemper virus in order to identify effects of canine distemper virus infection upon the transcriptome of this tumor cell line and hereby draw conclusions on possible paramyxovirus-induced oncolytic mechanisms
Project description:RNAseq analysis of canine DH-28 tumor cells persistently infected with CDV canine distemper virus, starving and hypoxic conditions. Gene expression changes in infected and control cells were studied. Results: Many differences between infection and controls and different treatments
Project description:The goal of the study was to test whether CBD103 genotype of North American gray wolves impacts the gene expression response to polyI:C or to live canine distemper virus. We established 24 primary cultures of epidermal keratinocytes from skin punches of North American gray wolves, and also generated an immortalized keratinocyte line and a CRISPR/Cas9 edited cell line. We evaluated the gene expression response of cells to either 24 hours challenge with 1 ug/ml polyI:C or to five days challenge with live canine distemper virus (100 TCID50/ml). Every challenged cell culture had a paired null control sample (plated and collected at same time points).
Project description:The objective of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of uninfected and canine distemper virus-infected Schwann cells, olfactory ensheating cells, central nervous system Schwann cell-like glia, and fibroblasts cultured under identical conditions in vitro.
Project description:Canine distemper virus (CDV)-induced demyelinating leukoencephalitis (CDV-DL) in dogs is a translational animal model for human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The aim of this study was to perform an assumption-free microarray analysis of gene expression in different subgroups of CDV-DL as compared to normal controls. Dogs were classified into normal controls (group 1), acute CDV-DL lesions with CDV within the brain but without demyelination and inflammation (group 2), subacute lesions with demyelination but without inflammation (group 3), and subacute to chronic lesions with demyelination and inflammation (group 4).
