Merkel cell polyomavirus small tumor antigen contributes to immune evasion by interfering with type I interferon signaling [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is linked to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare and aggressive skin cancer. This study investigated the influence of MCPyV T antigens on the host genome using transcriptomics and epigenomics. Results revealed a role for the small Tumor (sT) antigen in subverting type I interferon response and immune evasion, contributing to persistent infection and tumor progression. These findings enhance our understanding of MCPyV pathogenesis and may inform new therapeutic strategies.

Characterization of human Merkel cells and their response to Merkel cell polyomavirus

Project description:Merkel cells are epidermal mechanoreceptor cells responsible for the perception of gentle touch. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and highly aggressive skin cancer. Although MCC histologically resembles Merkel cells, the cell of origin for MCC is unknown. MCC frequently contains integrated Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), a small DNA tumor virus with widespread prevalence. Whether MCPyV can transform Merkel cells is unknown. Here, we describe the isolation and long-term expansion of human Merkel cells from neonatal foreskin. We validated the expression of several Merkel cell-related factors by RNASeq, and assessed the ultrastructure by electron microscopy. Culture of Merkel cell preparations on an artificial basement membrane promoted the formation of structures containing both Merkel and non-Merkel cell populations. To determine whether Merkel cells were susceptible to transformation, we expressed tumor-derived MCPyV T antigens and additional oncogenes. We were unable to demonstrate tumorigenesis in immunodeficient mice, but were able to detect T antigen expression from excised cells weeks after implantation. These results highlight that foreskin-isolated Merkel cells can be propagated extensively, sustain expression of MCPyV T antigens, but are not susceptible to transformation by MCPyV, suggesting that Merkel cells from non-glabrous skin may not be a cell of origin for MCC.

Dynamics of host response to Merkel cell polyomavirus oncogenes

Project description:Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) small tumor antigen (ST), truncated large tumor antigen (TLT), early region (ER), and GFP control inducible vectors were introduced into IMR90 human lung embryonic fibrobrasts. After induction, cells were extracted and sequenced in triplicate every 4 hours for the first 24 hours, then every 8 hours until 48 hours. The purpose of this experiment was to identify the dynamic host response to MCPyV oncogenes, using both differential expression analysis and transcriptional network reconstruction, and to provide a systems-level understanding of the initial steps toward Merkel cell carcinoma.

Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of human Merkel cells and Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Merkel cell carcinoma is supposed to be derived from Merkel cells after infection by Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) and other poorly known events. A transcriptional profiling with cDNA microarrays was performed on cells from MCV+ Merkel cell carcinomas and isolated normal Merkel cells. This microarray revealed numerous significantly upregulated genes and down-regulated genes. The extensive list of genes identified in these experiments provides a large body of potentially valuable information of Merkel cell carcinoma carcinogenesis and could represent a source of potential targets for cancer therapy. Two-conditions experiment, MCV vs Normal Merkel Cell. Biological replicates : 4 MCV (Cy5), 1 control = pool of Normal Merkel cells from 3 liftings

Merkel cell polyomavirus small T antigen promotes pro-glycolytic metabolic perturbations required for transformation

Project description:Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is an etiological agent of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a highly aggressive skin cancer. The MCPyV small tumor antigen (ST) is required for maintenance of MCC and can transform normal cells. To gain insight into cellular perturbations induced by MCPyV ST, we performed transcriptome analysis of normal human fibroblasts with inducible expression of ST. MCPyV ST dynamically alters the cellular transcriptome with increased levels of glycolytic genes, including the monocarboxylate lactate transporter SLC16A1 (MCT1). Extracellular flux analysis revealed increased lactate export reflecting elevated aerobic glycolysis in ST expressing cells. Inhibition of MCT1 activity suppressed the growth of MCC cell lines and impaired MCPyV-dependent transformation of IMR90 cells. Both NF-κB and MYC have been shown to regulate MCT1 expression. While MYC was required for MCT1 induction, MCPyV-induced MCT1 levels decreased following knockdown of the NF-κB subunit RelA, supporting a synergistic activity between MCPyV and MYC in regulating MCT1 levels. Several MCC lines had high levels of MYCL and MYCN but not MYC. Increased levels of MYCL was more effective than MYC or MYCN in increasing extracellular acidification in MCC cells. Our results demonstrate the effects of MCPyV ST on the cellular transcriptome and reveal that transformation is dependent, at least in part, on elevated aerobic glycolysis.

Cellular Transcriptional Responses to Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigens

Project description:Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is clonally integrated in over 80% of Merkel cell carcinomas and mediates tumor development through the expression of viral oncoproteins large T (LT) and small T antigens (sT). Viral integration is associated with signature mutations in the T antigen locus that result in deletions of carboxy-terminal replicative functions of the LT antigen. Despite these truncations, the LT LxCxE retinoblastoma (Rb) pocket protein family-binding domain is retained, and the entire sT isoform is maintained intact. To investigate the ability of MCV oncoproteins to regulate host gene expression, we performed microarray analysis on cells stably expressing tumor-derived LT, tumor-derived LT along with sT, and tumor-derived LT with a mutated Rb interaction motif. Gene expression alterations in the presence of tumor-derived LT could be classified into three main groups: genes that are involved in the cell cycle (specifically the G1/S transition), genes involved in DNA replication, and genes involved in cellular movement. The LxCxE mutant LT largely reversed gene expression alterations detected with the wild type LT, while co-expression of sT did not significantly affect these patterns of gene expression. LxCxE-dependent upregulation of cyclin E and CDK2 correlates with increased proliferation in tumor-derived LT expressing cells. We conclude that in hTERT-immortalized human fibroblasts the LXCXE motif of tumor-derived LT enhances cellular proliferation and upregulates cell cycle and immune signaling gene transcription. RNA was isolated from BJ-hTERT cell lines and hybridized to an Illumina chip for global gene expression analysis
