Project description:Gene expression analysis of tumors isolated from mice after they received treatments with Sindbis Virus vectors for 1 week. The hypothesis tested changes in the transcriptome profiles of tumors isolated from Sindbis virus vectors treated and untreated mice. Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing of MOSEC.Fluc.p11 tumors
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) on targeted locus in Sindbis genome to determine frequency changes of artificial microRNAs expressed by viruses after passaging in cancer and normal cells Methods: RNA was harvested in Trizol 488 (Thermo Fisher). RNA was extracted using the manufacturer’s protocol and quantified by nanodrop. Sequencing was done by SeqMatic on a MiSeq v3 platform generating 75bp reads. Adapters were trimmed using Trimmomatic and adapter-free reads represent artificial microRNAs encoded by Sindbis virus in a sample. Results: We have identified changes in artificial microRNA frequency after passaging virus pool in cancer and normal cells and have identified microRNAs increasing viral fitness in cancer cells. Conclusions: Our study represents artificial microRNAs which target pathways that can aid oncolytic viral replication in cancer cells.
Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the brain pathology upon infection of mice with neuroinvasine Sindbis virus (SVNI) and the affect of treatmant wuth the glucosylceramide inhibitor GZ-161 . For this purpose, C57BL/6 mice wasinfected with SVNI and treted or not with GZ-161. 5 days post infection, brains were harvested and total RNA was extracted. RNA-seq libraries were constructed and sequencing of 100bp paired-end was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system. Sequencing yielded about 30M reads per sample that were mapped to the mouse genome
