  • 5 Michael Schreiber Dissertation V3-NLM Formatted Illustrated
    Determinants of Human Rhinovirus Cellular Tropism in Monocyte-Lineage Cells Michael Schreiber Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Michael Schreiber All rights reserved ABSTRACT Determinants of Human Rhinovirus Cellular Tropism in Monocyte-Lineage Cells Michael Schreiber Human rhinovirus (HRV) is responsible for the majority of common cold infections and asthma exacerbations. HRV predominantly replicates in the epithelial cells of the upper airway, where common cold symptoms are produced. However, HRV also enters the lower airway, encountering the epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages thought to produce inflammatory responses during HRV-induced asthma exacerbations. Notably, alveolar macrophages release inflammatory mediators such as MCP1/CCL2 and RANTES/CCL5 in response to HRV despite the fact that limited if any HRV replication occurs in these cells. The present study seeks to address the mechanism by which alveolar macrophages are susceptible but not permissive to HRV replication and to identify the step in the HRV replication cycle that restricts HRV to abortive replication in macrophages. Evidence presented herein demonstrates that major-group (ICAM-1 tropic) HRV replicate with limited success in cell line-derived macrophages, whereas minor-group (LDLR tropic) HRV do not replicate in these monocyte-lineage cells. In contrast, neither major- nor minor-group HRV replicate in primary human PBMC-derived macrophages. Capsid swap experiments demonstrated that difference in replicative capacity between major- and minor-group HRV is mediated at the level of permissiveness rather than susceptibility. RNA- Seq gene expression studies identified candidate host genes that may act to regulate HRV replication.

In addition to the factors previously reported, we that during the early stage of infection HCV recognizes lipo- discovered that the very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) protein receptors such as SR-BI and LDLR on target cells via mediates HCV entry independent of CD81. Culturing Huh7.5 cells the association of the virus with apolipoprotein E (ApoE) or under hypoxic conditions significantly increased HCV entry as a other related ligands (18). However, the cell lines that have been result of the expression of VLDLR, which was not expressed under widely used for the analysis of HCV infection/replication (i.e., normoxic conditions in this cell line.

Dick Despommier: And I'm Dick Despommier. Vincent: How have you been, Dick? Dick: I’ve been well, Vince. Did you have a good week? Vincent: Have you built any vertical farms? Dick: No. In my dreams. Vincent: Beautiful day. No rain today. Dick: Nope. Vincent: What are we talking about today? Dick: We had a little rain yesterday, though, so that might have jump started a few batches of mosquitoes. Yes, I think so. Vincent: Weather is hard to predict, isn’t it? Dick: It's impossible. Vincent: Dick, I know we are talking about Dengue today but before we do I found a new news item which we should discuss because it’s timely. Every day I scour the internet for articles on viruses. Do you know what most of the returns are about? Computer viruses. Dick: Hah, hah, hah. Vincent: Some of them are about the viruses that infect you which is what we talk about on this podcast. Listen to this headline: Researchers link home foreclosures to West Nile Virus outbreaks. So apparently you know we are having a financial crisis. Everyone seems to know except John McCain. We can't be political in this podcast otherwise people won’t listen to us. In California, a study was done.

    Introduction to Virology I Prof. Vincent Racaniello Department of Microbiology Office: HHSC 1310B vrr1@columbia. edu All living things survive in a sea of viruses • We eat and breathe billions of them regularly ‐breathe 6 liters of air per minute, eat thousands of grams of food and its allied contaminants per day, touch heaven knows what and put our fingers in our eyes and mouths ‐ every milliliter of seawater has more than a million virus particles • We carry viral genomes as part of our own genetic material • Viruses infect our pets, domestic food animals, wildlife, plants, insects • Vira l ifinfec tions can cross species bibarriers, and do so consttltantly (zoonotic infections) ‐ constant probing for new hosts ‐ today's "natural host" for a virus may be a way‐station in its evolution ‐ viral infections influence the evolution of their hosts. MID 29 The number of viruses impinging on us is staggering Startling facts about phage: More than 1030 bacteriophage particles in the world’ s waters! •A bacteriophage particle weighs about a femtogram (10‐15 grams) 1030 X 10‐15= the biomass on the planet of BACTERIAL VIRUSES ALONE exceeds the biomass of elephants by more than 1000‐fold! •The length of a head to tail line of 1030 phages is more than 200 million light years! • Whales are commonly infected with a tiny virus of the Caliciviridae family (rashes, blisters, intestinal problems, diarrhea) –these whale diarrhea viruses can infect humans • Infected whales secrete more than 1013 calciviruses daily!! MID 29 There are ~1016 HIV genomes on the planet today With this number of genomes, it is highly probable that HIV genomes exist that are resistant to every one of the antiviral drugs that we have now, or EVER WILL HAVE! Amazingly, the vast majority of the viruses that infect us have little or no impact on our health or well being We exist because we have a defense system that evolved to fight infections If our immune system is down (e.g.

  • A Nobel Laureate Backs Off from Claiming a 'Smoking Gun' for the Covid-19 Lab-Leak Theory
    A Nobel laureate backs off from claiming a 'smoking gun' for the Covid-19 lab-leak theory By Michael Hiltzik, columnist, LA Times, June 8, 2021 For those concerned with the origins of the virus causing the Covid-19 pandemic, a few words from Nobel laureate David Baltimore last month seemed to settle the debate, decisively in favor of the theory that the virus was man-made before it escaped from a Chinese laboratory. A feature of the virus' genome known as the furin cleavage site "was the smoking gun for the origin of the virus," Baltimore said. Using virologists' shorthand for the virus, SARS2, he continued: "These features make a powerful challenge to the idea of a natural origin for SARS2." Proponents of the lab-leak hypothesis — that is, that the virus escaped from a lab rather than reaching humans as a natural spillover from a wild animal host — could scarcely have hoped for a more substantial endorsement of their views. Baltimore is one of the nation's most eminent scientists, a former president of Rockefeller University and Caltech, where he still serves as president emeritus and remains on the faculty as distinguished professor of biology. His expertise is virology, which places the inquiry into the structure of SARS2 squarely in his professional wheelhouse. He shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discoveries related to “the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell,” as the Nobel citation stated. Baltimore's "smoking gun" quote appeared in a May 5 article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists — not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but a respected publication that has run numerous articles on the Covid-19 pandemic.
