Molecular Signatures Associated with ZIKV Exposure in Human Cortical Neural Progenitors and Astrocytes

ABSTRACT: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes microcephaly and has been linked to other brain abnormalities. How ZIKV impairs brain development and function remains elusive. Here we systematically profiled transcriptomes of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and astrocytes exposed to Asian ZIKVC, African ZIKVM, and Dengue virus (DENV). DENV causes distinct gene expression changes; and ZIKV has a broader impact on the expression of gene involved in DNA replication and repair. While overall expression profiles are similar, ZIKVC, but not ZIKVM, induces upregulation of viral response genes. Upon ZIKV infection, astrocytes exhibit more prominent transcriptome changes than hNPCs, particularly enriching genes related to inflammatory response and cytokine production pathways. Our analyses reveal cell-type- and strain-specific molecular signatures associated with ZIKV infection, and identify astrocytes as a major direct target of ZIKV. Further investigation of ZIKV-host interactions based our transcriptomic datasets may help to illuminate neural virulence determinants of ZIKV in patients.

Zika virus infection induces RNAi-mediated antiviral immunity in human neural progenitors and brain organoids

Project description:The re-emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Western Hemisphere has resulted in global public health crisis since 2015. ZIKV preferentially infects and targets human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and causes fetal microcephaly upon maternal infection. hNPCs not only play critical roles during fetal brain development, but also persist in adult brain throughout life. Yet the mechanism of innate antiviral immunity in hNPCs remains largely unknown. Here, we show that ZIKV infection triggers the abundant production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs in hNPCs, but not in the more differentiated progenies or somatic cells. Ablation of key RNAi machinery components significantly enhances ZIKV replication in hNPCs. Furthermore, enoxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is known as an RNAi enhancer, exerts potent anti-ZIKV activity in hNPCs and other RNAi-competent cells. Strikingly, enoxacin treatment completely prevents ZIKV infection and circumvents ZIKV-induced microcephalic phenotypes in brain organoid models that recapitulate human fetal brain development. Our findings highlight the physiological importance of RNAi-mediated antiviral immunity during the early stage of human brain development, uncovering a novel strategy to combat human congenital viral infections through enhancing RNAi.

Transcriptional and Translational Dynamics of Zika and Dengue Virus Infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are members of the Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses and cause severe disease in humans. ZIKV and DENV share over 90% of their genome sequences, however the clinical features of Zika and dengue infections are very different reflecting tropism and cellular effects. Here, we used simultaneous RNA sequencing and ribosome footprinting to define the transcriptional and translational dynamics of ZIKV and DENV infection in human neuronal progenitor cells (hNPCs). The gene expression data showed induction of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS) and the translation-activating PIM1 kinase indicating an increase in RNA translation capacity. The data also reveal activation of different cell stress reponses, with ZIKV triggering a BACH1/2 redox program, and DENV activating the ETF/CHOP endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress program. The RNA translation data highlight activation of polyamine metabolism through changes in key enzymes and their regulators. This pathway is needed for eIF5A hypusination and has been implicated viral translation and replication. Concerning the viral RNA genomes, ribosome occupancy readily identifies highly translated open reading frames and a novel upstream ORF (uORF) in the DENV genome. Together, our data highlight both the cellular stress response and also the activation of RNA translation and polyamine metabolism during DENV and ZIKV infection.

Zika Virus Targets Human Cortical Neural Precursors and Attenuates Their Growth

Project description:The suspected link between infection by Zika virus (ZIKV), a re-emerging flavivirus, and microcephaly, is an urgent global health concern. The direct target cells of ZIKV in developing human fetuses are not clear. Here we show that ZIKV serially passaged in monkey and mosquito cell lines infects human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-derived cortical neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) with much higher efficiency compared to hiPSCs and hNPC-derived immature cortical neurons. Infected hNPCs produces infectious ZIKV particles. Importantly, ZIKV infection increases cell death and dysregulates cell cycle progression, resulted in attenuated hNPC growth. RNA-sequencing analysis of infected hNPCs further reveals transcriptional dysregulation, notably genes in cell cycle pathways. Our results identify human cortical neural precursors as a major and direct target of ZIKV infection and establish a tractable experimental model system to investigate the impact and mechanism of ZIKV on human brain development and a platform to screen therapeutic compounds.

An RNA-centric dissection of host complexes controlling flavivirus infection [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Flaviviruses including dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) cause significant human disease. Co-opting cellular factors for viral protein translation and viral genome replication at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a shared replication strategy, despite different clinical outcomes. While the protein products of these viruses have been studied in depth, how the RNA genomes operate inside human cells is poorly understood. Using comprehensive identification of RNA binding proteins by mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS), we took an RNA-centric viewpoint of flaviviral infection and identified several hundred proteins associated with both DENV and ZIKV genomic RNA inside human cells. Intersection with genome-scale knockout screens assigned putative functional relevance to the RNA-protein interactions. ER RNA binding proteins such vigilin and RRBP1 directly bound viral RNA and each operated at distinct points in the life cycle of flaviviruses. Thus, this versatile strategy can elucidate features of human biology that control pathogenesis of clinically relevant viruses.

ZIKV prevents host mRNA export from the nucleus by disrupting UPF1 function

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus that can have dramatic neurodevelopmental consequences when infection occurs in utero. Previous studies demonstrated that ZIKV downregulates the master regulator of nonsense mediated decay, UPF1. To examine whether this process contributes to disruption of neural development, we investigated the effect of ZIKV infection on UPF1 interaction with host RNA in neural progenitor cells. Here, we show that ZIKV-mediated disruption of UPF1 function in neural progenitor cells causes retention of mRNA in the nucleus, resulting in decreased protein levels of specific transcripts involved in neural differentiation.

Genetic analysis of a Zika Virus Envelope Glycosylation and Non-structural protein 4B P36 Double Mutant

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. Live attenuated vaccines have been successfully used to combat infection by flaviviruses, such as yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis viruses. A Zika virus harboring combined mutations in the envelope protein glycosylation site and in the nonstructural 4B protein amino acid 36 (ZE4B-36) was generated and assessed for stability, attenuation, and protection against infection. To determine the genetic stability of its RNA genome, ZE4B-36 was serially passaged in vitro in Vero cells. Virus harvested from passages (P)1 to P6 was subjected to next generation sequencing and downstream analysis to determine its nucleotide sequence variability. Specifically, single nucleotide variant analysis showed that the ZE4B-36 genome decreased its genetic diversity and resulted in a more stable nucleotide sequence. Thus, in addition to showing attenuation and protection, ZE4B-36 is a stable live attenuated virus that possesses characteristics important for a vaccine to combat Zika disease.
