Project description:B19V NS1 is known to be cytotoxic and involved in the pathogenesis of B19V infection. Our previous data demonstrated that NS1 impaired the cell-cycle progression of the CD36+ EPCs by inducing a stable G2 arrest. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes whose expressions were associated with the NS1-induced G2 arrest. A total of 1045 genes displayed a more than 1.5-fold differential expression in the NS1-transduced cells. Out of 1045 differentially expressed genes, 177 were involved in cell-cycle regulation and 51 were involved in the regulation of cell differentiation. Keywords: RNA CD36+ EPCs were generated from CD34+ stem cells, and transduced with B19V NS1 or control-lentivirus for 12, 24,and 48 hours. Each sample has triplicates. There are 18 samples analyzed.

Project description:The goal of our present work was to understand the influence parvovirus B19 infection may have on the thyroid hormone signaling pathway, as well as the nuclear receptors (NR) pathway overall. We demonstrated that B19 infection of CD36+ erythroid progenitor cells leads to downregulation of the thyroid hormone receptor α isoform. In addition to that we have shown that B19 infection modulates the expression of other members of the NR superfamily such as estrogen and retinoid receptors. CD36+ cells (StemCell Technologies) were mock-infected or infected with B19, 48 hours post infection cells were collected, total RNA was isolated, and cDNA was obtained as described above. TaqMan® array human nuclear receptors fast 96-well plates obtained from Applied Biosystems (Carlsbad, CA) were utilized in order to assess the differences of 92 nuclear receptors’ expression in mock- and B19-infected CD36+ cells. Relative quantity (RQ) values were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method.
Project description:Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection can cause transient aplastic crisis, persistent viremia, and pure red-cell aplasia. In fetuses, B19V infection can result in non-immune hydrops fetalis and fetal death. To systematically investigate the interaction between B19V and erythoid progenetor cells (EPC), microarray was applied to systematically analyze the dynamic transcriptome of CD36+ EPCs during B19V infection.

Project description:We construct two stable UT7/Epo-S1 cell lines which could be inducible expressing B19 NS1 and NS1 TAD2 domain mutation proteins. After treated with or without doxycycline induction, we extract the total RNA for RNA-seq analysis.
Project description:Viral infection is commonly associated with virus-driven hijacking of host proteins. We describe a novel mechanism by which influenza virus impacts host cells through the interaction of influenza NS1 protein with the infected cell epigenome. We show that the NS1 protein of influenza A H3N2 target the transcription elongation PAF1 complex (hPAF1C). We demonstrate that binding of NS1 to hPAF1C results in suppression of hPAF1C-mediated transcriptional elongation. In the following data sets, we show that NS1 colocalizes with hPAF1 on the chromatin of infected cells and that siRNA-mediated reduction of hPAF1 expression results in reduced recruitment of NS1 to the chromatin.

Project description:The NS1 protein of influenza virus counters host antiviral defences primarily by antagonizing the type I interferon (IFN) response. Both the N-terminal dsRNA-binding domain and the C-terminal effector domain are required for optimal suppression of host responses during infection. To better understand the regulatory role of the NS1 effector domain, we used an NS1-truncated mutant virus derived from human H1N1 influenza isolate A/Texas/36/91 (Tx/91) and assessed global transcriptional profiles from two independent human lung cell-culture models.
Project description:To study the role of Dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 in modulation of host cell transcriptome we performed gene expression profiling using data obtained from RNA- sequencing of total RNA from 3 different samples: Huh7 cells (no transfection), Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 empty vector and Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 encoding dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 (pDENV4 NS1).
