Endogenous retroviruses drive KRAB zinc-finger protein family expression for tumor suppression

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Alexandre Coudray

Gene expression aberration is a hallmark of cancers, but the mechanisms underlying such aberrations remain unclear. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are genomic repetitive elements that potentially function as enhancers. Since numerous HERVs are epige ...

A modeling approach to estimate the solar disinfection of viral indicator organisms in waste stabilization ponds and surface waters

Tamar Kohn, Michael Jon Mattle

Sunlight is known to be a pertinent factor governing the infectivity of waterborne viruses in the environment. Sunlight inactivates viruses via endogenous inactivation (promoted by absorption of UVB sunlight by the virus) and exogenous processes (promoted ...

Dynamics of HIV Latency and Reactivation in a Primary CD4+T Cell Model

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Istvan Bartha

HIV latency is a major obstacle to curing infection. Current strategies to eradicate HIV aim at increasing transcription of the latent provirus. In the present study we observed that latently infected CD4+ T cells from HIV-infected individuals failed to pr ...

De novo DNA methylation of endogenous retroviruses is shaped by KRAB-ZFPs/KAP1 and ESET

Didier Trono, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Sonia Verp, Marc Samuel Friedli

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) undergo de novo DNA methylation during the first few days of mammalian embryogenesis, although the factors that control the targeting of this process are largely unknown. We asked whether KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1) is i ...

Direct and Retrograde Transduction of Nigral Neurons with AAV6, 8, and 9 and Intraneuronal Persistence of Viral Particles

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors of serotypes 6, 8, and 9 were characterized as tools for gene delivery to dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra for future gene therapeutic applications in Parkinson's disease. While vectors of all th ...

Analysis of HIV-1 Expression Level and Sense of Transcription by High-Throughput Sequencing of the Infected Cell

Jacques Rougemont

Next-generation sequencing offers an unprecedented opportunity to jointly analyze cellular and viral transcriptional activity without prerequisite knowledge of the nature of the transcripts. SupT1 cells were infected with a vesicular stomatitis virus G env ...

Studies on lentiviral-mediated transgenesis

Marc-Olivier Sauvain

Transgenic animals are essential research tools, whether to address basic biological questions or to develop preclinical models of human diseases. Their generation through the injection of naked plasmid DNA into the male pronucleus of a fertilized oocyte h ...
