RNASeq was used to evaluate the Epstein-Barr virus transcriptome. A pipeline was developed for the analysis of EBV specific transcripts and applied to EBV positive Burkitt's lymphoma cells exhibiting type I latency. PolyA fractions of whole cell RNA was sequenced using 74b single-end reads on an Illumina GA2x machine.

View SamplesCertain peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) have been associated with viral infection, particularly infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). However, a comprehensive virome analysis across PTCLs has not previously been reported, and viral gene expression profiles have been studied only in certain PTCL subtypes. In this study we utilized published RNA-seq data sets from seven different PTCL studies as well as new RNA-seq data from our laboratory to screen for virus association, to analyze viral gene expression, and to assess B- and T-cell receptor diversity paradigms across these tumor types. In addition to identifying EBV in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL), two PTCL subtypes with well-established EBV associations, we also detected EBV in several cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and we found evidence of infection by the oncogenic viruses KSHV and HTLV-1 in isolated PTCL cases. In AITLs, EBV gene expression analysis showed expression of immediate early, early and late lytic genes, suggesting either abortive lytic replication and/or productive infection in a subset of the EBV infected infiltrating B-lymphocytes. Deconvolution of immune cell subpopulations demonstrated a greater B-cell signal in AITLs than in other PTCL subtypes, consistent with a larger role for B-cell support in the pathogenesis of AITL. T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoires reconstructed from RNA-seq data demonstrated increased BCR diversity in AITLs, consistent with a possible EBV-driven polyclonal response. These findings indicate potential alternative roles for EBV in PTCLs in addition to the canonical oncogenic mechanisms associated with EBV latent infection. The findings also suggest the involvement of other viruses in T-cell lymphoma pathogenesis and demonstrate immunological alterations associated with these cancers.

View SamplesThe Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), the most common HIV/AIDS-associated tumor worldwide. Involvement of the oral cavity portends a poor prognosis for patients with KS, but mechanisms for KSHV regulation of the oral tumor microenvironment are largely unknown. Infiltrating fibroblasts are found with KS lesions, and KSHV establishes latent infection within human primary fibroblasts in vitro, but contributions for KSHV-infected fibroblasts to the KS microenvironment have not been previously characterized. In the present study, we used Illumina microarray to detect the global gene profile altered in KSHV-infected primary human fibroblasts (PDLF and HGF) isolated from the oral cavity.

View SamplesWe confirmed immune response as the key mechanism and provided solid evidence for novel genes (e.g., FCAR and CUX1) and distinct biological processes (e.g., endocytosis, cytokine production and apoptosis) as potentially new important factors/mechanisms contributing to chronic periodontitis pathogenesis. Overall design: We performed an RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) study of peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) in 5 non-smoking moderate to severe CP (case) subjects vs. 5 controls. We replicated the DEx transcripts/isoforms using an independent microarray dataset. We also pathway-based analysis on the identified/replicated DEx transcripts/isoforms using DAVID performed (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery).
