The immediate-early protein BRLF1 plays important roles in lytic infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), in which it activates lytic viral transcription and replication. However, knowledge of the influence of BRLF1 on cellular gene expression and transcriptional reprogramming during the early lytic cycle remains limited. In the present study, deep RNA-sequencing analysis identified all differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and alternative splicing in B lymphoma cells subjected to wild-type and BRLF1-deficient EBV primary infection. The BRLF1-dependent cellular DEGs were annotated, and major differentially enriched pathways were related to DNA replication and transcription, immune and inflammatory responses, cytokine-receptor interactions and chemokine signaling and metabolic processes. Furthermore, analysis of BRLF1-binding proteins by mass spectrometry shows that BRLF1 binds to and cooperates with several transcription factors and components of the spliceosome and then influences both RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. The RTA-binding RRE motifs or specific motifs of unique cooperative transcription factors in viral and cellular DEG promoter regions indicate that BRLF1 employs different strategies for regulating viral and cellular transcription. Thus, our study characterized BRLF1-dependent cellular and viral transcriptional profile during primary infection and then revealed the comprehensive virus-cell interaction and alterations of transcription during EBV primary infection and lytic replication.
