Key result
Echovirus 30 infection in human glioma cells and mice brains induced immune response-related genes and inhibited genes functioning in neural tissue development and function.
Why the study?
Echovirus 30 causes serious neurological infections, but its molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis are not fully understood.
Transcriptome sequencing reveals that Echovirus 30 infection induces immune response genes and inhibits neural development genes in glioma cells and mouse brains, providing insight into its neurological pathogenesis.
Suggests echovirus 30 as oncolytic candidate for gliomas; leaves open translation to human trials.
Echovirus 30 (E30) causes various diseases, such as viral encephalitis; aseptic meningitis; hand, foot, and mouth diseases; and acute flaccid paralysis. Related neurological infections are most concerning. However, the molecular mechanisms of E30 pathogenesis are not fully understood. There is a growing research interest in E30 as a cause of neurological disease. The aim of this study was to describe E30 infection, especially the changes in differential factor expressions after infection, in human glioma (U251) cells and mice brains using transcriptome sequencing analysis. Clear changes in the gene expression of factors associated with the defense response to viruses, inflammation-related signaling pathways, and neurological complication-related pathways were observed. Our results suggest that after E30 infection, the genes related to immune response were induced in the human glioma cells and mice brains, whereas genes functioning in the development and function of neural tissue were inhibited. Overall, this study successfully established E30 infection of U251 and mouse brain tissue, profiled the infection-induced changes in cellular and organizational transcriptomes, and revealed the molecular level changes during E30 infection.
