Project Summary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes significant disease in patients with congenital or acquired immune deficiencies. Elucidating markers of early cancer and understanding tumor composition are essential in improving diagnostics and therapies for EBV diseases. In vitro, EBV infection of B cells induces formation of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) which mimic properties of lymphoproliferative disease and serve as a model to investigate B cell transformation processes. Multiple viral gene products dramatically reprogram the B cell environment, and several host factors critical for maintaining LCL proliferation have been identified; however, host factors leading to LCL outgrowth as well as the distinct cellular substages required for establishment of persistent infection and B cell transformation are less understood. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes is an ongoing challenge due to the refractory nature of primary B cells for genetic manipulation and the observed heterogeneity in viral and cellular gene expression detected through standard bulk transcriptome analysis. To address gaps in our current knowledge, we will use multi-omic single-cell approaches to define B cell molecular signatures and cell markers that delineate early virus-mediated transformation. For these studies, we will investigate a pre-clinical EBV model, rhesus macaque (RM) cells and tumor tissues infected with rhesus lymphocryptovirus (rLCV). By simultaneously measuring immunophenotypes and gene expression, we aim to identify B cell states that successfully navigate infection towards the LCL trajectory. Leveraging these approaches to further analyze rLCV+ lymphoid tissues, we aim to define biological properties of pre-cancerous and cancerous states at the single cell level.
