Project description:We performed RNA-seq to compare the epithelial transcriptomic response to GII.3 HuNoV infection to gamma-irradiated inactivated HuNoV (gGII.3) and media controls in parental HIE lines (J2 and J4) and genetically modified HIOs (J2STAT1-KO and J4FUT2-KI), which support enhanced viral replication due to STAT1 knockout and FUT2 knock-in, respectively. HIEs were harvested and analyzed at 24 hours post-infection/treatment.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the third most common cancer in the US, with 15% of cases displaying Microsatellite Instability (MSI) secondary to Lynch Syndrome (LS) or somatic hypermethylation of the MLH1 promoter. A cohort of rhesus macaques from our institution developed spontaneous mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) CRC with a notable fraction harboring a pathogenic germline mutation in MLH1. DNA methylation and transcriptome analysis was used to evaluate the rhesus macaque as a model organism to study carcinogenesis, develop immunotherapies and vaccines, and implement chemoprevention approaches pertinent to sporadic MSI-H and LS CRC in humans.
