Project description:RNAseq analysis of A549-TRIM28 KO cells that were infected with low pathogenic laboratory strain PR8 (H1N1) Differentially expressed genes in infected vs. non-infected cells Project: A549_TRIM28_KO
Project description:CX3CR1pos monocytes are mobilized upon infection and undergo monocyte-to-macrophage transition in inflamed tissues. Using scRNA-seq of CD11c+ cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) infected with IAV (PR/8, H1N1 ,we demonstrate that, during severe viral pneumonia, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) pass co-ordinated trajectories of pro-inflammatory-to-tissue-healing phenotypes, before differentiating into tissue-resident alveolar macrophages, that retain a long-term tissue-protective phenotype.
Project description:Many genes have been implicated in WAT lipid metabolism, including tripartite motif containing 28 (Trim28), a gene proposed to primarily influence adiposity via epigenetic mechanisms in embryonic development. We set out to determine if adipose specific deletion of Trim28 led to changes in adipose tissue function and molecular phenotype. We performed transcriptomics analysis on adipose tissue taken from WT and adipose specific Trim28 KO mice to investigate their molecular phenotype, and to identify pathways altered in KO animals.
Project description:Although accumulating evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in multiple biological processes, considerably less is known regarding their functions in influenza A virus (IAV) replication. Here, lncRNA expression profiles were determined by RNA sequencing in three pairs of influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1)-infected or uninfected A549 cells.
Project description:Background: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a segmented negative-stranded RNA virus that brings a potentially serious threat to public health and animal husbandry. Mast cells play an important role in both the inherent and adaptive immune response. Previous studies have indicated that mast cells support the productive replication of H1N1, H5N1, and H7N2. To date, the distinct molecular mechanism behind the pathogenesis in mast cells among the three different viruses has been poorly understood. Methods: We investigated the genomic profiles in detail and the dynamic change of genomes regulated by different subtypes of IAV in mouse mast cells using microassays in order to the distinct molecular mechanism behind the pathogenesis in mast cells among the three different viruses. Mouse mast cells (P815) were infected at a multiplicity of infection of 1 (infectious viruses/cell) and incubated for 12 hr before collection of total RNA and microarray anlaysis using the Affymetrix platforms. Any two of the three IAV-infected groups were compared to detect genomic distinct. Based on the results of microassays, the further verification was performed by real-time PCR and western blotting. Here, the mRNA levels of 5-HT, PKG and HIF-1 in P815 cells following H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 infection were determined by real-time PCR. The protein levels of exosomes in P815 cells following H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 infection were detected by western blotting. Results: Compared with any two of the three IAV-infected groups, much more differentially expressed genes (DEGs), cellular functions and signaling pathways were confirmd in H1N1 or H7N2 group, and H7N2 group showed the highest levels. However, few DEGs were detected as well as various cellular functions and signaling pathways were dramatically suppressed in H5N1 group. With an in-depth study on H1N1 and H7N2 group, we demonstrated the 5-HT signaling pathway and cGMP/PKG signaling pathway terms were enriched in P815 cells infected by H1N1 while HIF-1 signaling pathway terms were enriched in P815 cells infected by H7N2 virus. Furthermore, RT-qPCR results also showed significantly increased mRNA of 5-HT and PKG in H1N1-infected P815 cells as well as HIF-1 in H7N2-infected P815 cells. Besides, exosomes were highly secreted from H1N1-infected or H7N2-infected P815 cells. Conclusions: H1N1 and H7N2 viruses could result in a variety of DEGs in mast cells and activate various cellular functions and signaling pathways while H5N1 virus cause the few DEGs in mast cells as well as suppression of cellular functions and signaling pathways. Furthermore, 5-HT signaling pathway and cGMP/PKG signaling pathway were preferentially activated in P815 cells infected by H1N1 while HIF-1 signaling pathway were preferentially activated in P815 cells infected by H7N2 virus. In addition, exosomes were also preferentially secreted from H1N1-infected or H7N2-infected P815 cells that are potentially pivotal in innate immunity to fight IAV infection. The study provides novel information and insight into the distinct of molecular mechanism of H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 viruses in mast cells from the perspective of genomic profiles.
Project description:Purpose: To explore the roles of host lncRNAs during IAV infection Methods:profiling whole transcriptional alterations using RNA-seq in neutrophil samples from 3 patients infected with IAV in the acute stage and their matched recovery-stage samples Results:We identified a total of 404 differentially expressed genes (FC>2, p<0.05), including 234 up-regulated and 170 down-regulated genes,in each patient sample Conclusion:Our study is the first profile of the transcriptome of IAV-infected patients' neutrophils
Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) infection can cause the often-lethal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of the lung. Concomitantly, acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently noticed during IAV infection, correlating with an increased mortality. The aim of this study was to elucidate the interaction of IAV with human kidney cells and, thereby, to assess the mechanisms underlying IAV-mediated AKI. We demonstrate productive replication of low and highly pathogenic IAV strains on primary and immortalized nephron cells. Comparison of our transcriptome and proteome analysis of H1N1-type IAV-infected human primary distal tubular cells (DTC) with existing data from H1N1-type IAV-infected lung and primary trachea cells revealed enrichment of specific factors responsible for regulated cell death in primary DTC, which could be targeted by specific inhibitors
Project description:To find the different host response during H5N1 and H1N1 infection, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes differentially expressed in mouse lungs infected by H5N1 and H1N1 virus. BALB/c mice were infected with live H5N1 virus , live H1N1 virus, or inactivated H5N1 virus or allantoic fluid (AF) for 24 h.
