项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection of primary cells results in massive alterations in normal cellular metabolism and regulation of cellular pathways that govern cell death, nucleic acid replication, cellular membrane homeostasis, cytoskeleton integrity, and intracellular trafficking of proteins. Numerous studies have documented the widespread dysregulation of cellular gene transcription following HCMV infection arguing that major changes in cellular phenotypes are controlled at a transcriptional level. However, crude regulation of essential and highly coordinated cellular functions such as protein transport and membrane homeostasis could result in a cellular environment that would also limit the production of infectious virus. Our recent studies have demonstrated that HCMV miRNAs regulate the secretory/endocytic pathway during infection by targeting genes encoding-key components of these pathways, thus providing another layer of HCMV regulation of cellular functions. Regulation of these pathways by HCMV miRNA results in inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the reorganization of intracellular membranes to facilitate efficient production of infectious virus. In this project, the specific genes in the secretory/endocytic pathway targeted by HCMV miRNAs will be identified by a comprehensive approach combining PAR-CLIP methodology with informatics followed by rigorous validation. Initially, the role of validated miRNA targets in the regulation of trafficking in the endocytic an secretory pathways will be defined, followed by investigation of the role of these miRNA targets in cytokine trafficking and secretion, membrane reorganization, and infectious virus assembly. Validation of the role of these cellular targets of HCMV miRNAs in regulation of the secretory/endocytic pathways of the infected cells and their phenotypic effects on cytokine secretion and virus assembly will be accomplished by engineering recombinant HCMVs expressing specific combinations of shRNAs targeting genes within these pathways. It is anticipated that these studies will elucidate the role of these regulatory RNAs in the outcome of HCMV infection of the cell as well as defining a new and novel mode of regulation of essential cellular pathways leading to a cellular environment optimized for assembly of infectious virions.

描述（由应用提供）：人类巨细胞病毒（HCMV）原代细胞的感染导致正常细胞代谢的大规模改变以及控制细胞死亡，核酸复制，细胞膜稳态，细胞骨骼内整体的细胞途径的调节，以及蛋白质内的细胞内传输。许多研究记录了HCMV感染后细胞基因转录的宽度失调，表明细胞表型的重大变化是在转录水平上控制的。然而，对必需和高度协调的细胞功能（例如蛋白质转运和膜稳态）进行粗调节可能会导致细胞环境，这也会限制传染病的产生。我们最近的研究表明，HCMV miRNA通过靶向编码这些途径的基因组件来调节感染过程中的秘密/内吞途径，从而提供了另一层的HCMV调节细胞功能。通过HCMV miRNA对这些途径的调节导致抑制促炎性细胞因子的释放以及细胞内膜的重组，以促进有效产生感染性病毒。在该项目中，将通过将Par-CLIP方法与信息信息结合使用，然后进行严格验证的综合方法来识别由HCMV miRNA靶向的分泌/内吞途径中的特定基因。最初，将定义了经过验证的miRNA靶标在内吞一条秘密途径中的运输调节中的作用，然后研究这些miRNA靶标在细胞因子运输和分泌，膜重组和感染性病毒中的作用。验证HCMV miRNA的这些细胞靶标在调节感染细胞的秘密/内吞途径中的作用及其对细胞因子分泌和病毒组装的表型作用，将通过工程性重组HCMV来实现，从而表达这些途径内SHRNAS靶向基因的特定组合。预计这些研究将阐明这些调节性RNA在细胞HCMV感染结果中的作用，并确定一种新的新型调节模式，从而使必需的细胞途径的新模式，导致为传染病的组装优化的细胞环境。
