ABSTRACT: ESTABLISHMENT OF LUNG TRANSCRIPTOME OF NON INFECTED AND HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUS (HPAIV) INFECTED CROW USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING (NGS)
Project description:Periodic outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses and the current H1N1 pandemic highlight the need for a more detailed understanding of influenza virus pathogenesis. To investigate the host transcriptional response induced by pathogenic influenza viruses, we used a functional-genomics approach to compare gene expression profiles in lungs from wild-type 129S6/SvEv and interferon receptor (IFNR) knockout mice infected with either the fully reconstructed H1N1 1918 pandemic virus (1918) or the highly pathogenic avian H5N1 virus Vietnam/1203/04 (VN/1203).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling was carried out on lung and ileum samples at 1dpi and 3dpi from chickens infected with either low pathogenic (H5N2) or highly pathogenic (H5N1) avian influenza. Infected birds were compared to control birds at each time point.

Project description:H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus has been spreading to Asia, Eurasia and African coutries. An original or six of recombinant H5N1 subtype influenza viruses with varying survivability were infected to chickens for elucidating genes correlated with pathogenicity.

An original or six of recombinant H5N1 subtype influenza viruses with varying survivability were infected to chickens for elucidating genes correlated with pathogenicity. Two chickens were infected with each 10^6EID50/ head virus intranasally, and their lung was collected from infected chicken at 24 hours after infection.
Project description:We isolated two highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) (CK10 and GS10) with similar genetic background but greatly differ in pathogencity in mice. CK10 is highly pathogenic in mice, whereas GS10 is nonpathogenic. However, the host mechanism of this differecne in pathogenicity is unclear. We used microarray analysis to evaluate the global transcriptional response in the lung of mice infected with CK10 or GS10.
Project description:The mechanisms responsible for the molecular pathogenesis of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) or low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) in avian species remain poorly understood. Thus, global immune response of chickens infected with HPAIV H5N1 (A/duck/India/02CA10/2011) and LPAIV H9N2 (A/duck/India/249800/2010) viruses was studied using microarray to identify crucial host genetic components responsive to these infection. HPAIV H5N1 induced excessive mRNA expression of cytokines (IFNA, OASL, MX1, RSAD2, IFITM5, GBP 1, IL1B, IL18, IL22, IL13, IL12B, CCL4, CCL9, CCL10, CX3CL1 etc) in lung tissues. This excessive cytokine response (cytokine storms) may cause tissue damage and high mortality in chickens. In contrast, the expression levels of most of the cytokines remained unchanged in the lungs of LPAIV H9N2 virus infected chickens. This study indicated the relationship between host cytokines response and their roles in pathogenesis in chickens infected with HPAIVs.
