Substitution of I222L-E119V in neuraminidase from highly pathogenic avian influenza H7N9 virus exhibited synergistic resistance effect to oseltamivir in mice.

ABSTRACT: That the high frequency and good replication capacity of strains with reduced susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) in highly pathogenic avian influenza H7N9 (HPAI H7N9) virus made it a significance to further study its drug resistance. HPAI H7N9 viruses bearing NA I222L or E119V substitution and two mutations of I222L-E119V as well as their NAIs-sensitive counterpart were generated by reverse genetics for NA inhibition test and replication capability evaluation in vitro. The attenuated H7N9/PR8 recombinant viruses were developed to study the pathogenicity and drug resistance brought by the above substitutions to mice. The IC₅₀ fold change of oseltamivir to HPAI H7N9 with NA222L-119V is 306.34 times than that of its susceptible strain, and 3.5 times than the E119V mutant virus. HPAI H7N9 bearing NA222L-119V had good replication ability with peak value of more than 6log₁₀ TCID₅₀/ml in MDCK cells. H7N9/PR8 virus bearing NA222L-119V substitutions leaded to diffuse pneumonia, significant weight loss and fatality in mice. NA E119V made H7N9/PR8 virus resistant to oseltamivir, and I222L-E119V had synergistic resistance to oseltamivir in mice. Due to the good fitness of drug resistant strains of HPAI H7N9 virus, it is necessary to strengthen drug resistance surveillance and new drug research.

Project description:The H7N9 virus attaches itself to the human cell receptor protein containing the polysaccharide that terminates with sialic acid. The mutation of neuraminidase at residue E119 has been explored experimentally. However, there is no adequate information on the substitution with E119V in peramivir at the intermolecular level. Therefore, a good knowledge of the interatomic interactions is a prerequisite in understanding its transmission mode and subsequent effective inhibitions of the sialic acid receptor cleavage by neuraminidase. Herein, we investigated the mechanism and dynamism on the susceptibility of the E119V mutation on the peramivir-neuraminidase complex relative to the wildtype complex at the intermolecular level. This study aims to investigate the impact of the 119V substitution on the neuraminidase-peramivir complex and unveil the residues responsible for the complex conformations. We employed molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and extensive post-MD analyses in the study. These extensive computational investigations were carried out on the wildtype and the E119V mutant complex of the protein for holistic insights in unveiling the effects of this mutation on the binding affinity and the conformational terrain of peramivir-neuraminidase E119V mutation. The calculated total binding energy (ΔGbind) for the peramivir wildtype is -49.09 ± 0.13 kcal/mol, while the E119V mutant is -58.55 ± 0.15 kcal/mol. The increase in binding energy (9.46 kcal/mol) is consistent with other post-MD analyses results, confirming that E119V substitution confers a higher degree of stability on the protein complex. This study promises to proffer contributory insight and additional knowledge that would enhance future drug designs and help in the fight targeted at controlling the avian influenza H7N9 virus. Therefore, we suggest that experimentalists collaborate with computational chemists for all investigations of this topic, as we have done in our previous studies.
