RNA-seq of hiPSCs-derived NPCs from 3 pairs of dizygotic discordant twins for Congenital Zika syndrome

ABSTRACT: Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), caused by Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, has been associated to impairment of early brain development, particularly related to neural progenitor cells (NPCs) survival and growth. In this work we report in a high-throughput manner (RNA-Seq) the differences in the transcriptomes of hiPSCs(human induced pluripotent stem cells)-derived NPCs from 3 pairs of discordant twins for Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). We found significant differences in the expression levels of genes relevant to the regulation of neural development between the NPCs from CZS-affected and non-affected twins, suggesting that epigenetic differences may contribute to the different susceptibilities of NPCs to ZIKV infection.

Molecular Alterations of Extracellular Matrix in the Brain of Newborns with Congenital Zika Syndrome

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy could cause a set of severe abnormalities in the fetus known as congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Experiments using animal models and in vitro systems significantly contributed to our understanding of the physiopathology of ZIKV infection. However, the molecular basis of CZS is not yet studied in humans. Here, we used a systems biology approach to integrate transcriptomic, proteomic and genomic data from post-mortem brains of neonates with CZS. We observed that collagen genes were greatly reduced in CZS brains at both the RNA and protein levels and that neonates with CZS have several polymorphisms in collagen genes associated with osteogenesis imperfect and arthrogryposis. These findings were validated using immunohistochemistry and collagen staining of ZIKV infected and non-infected samples. Additionally, it was found that cell adhesion genes that are essential for neurite outgrowth and axon guidance were up-regulated and thereby confirmed the neuronal migration defects observed. This work provided new insights into the underlying mechanisms of CZS and revealed host genes associated with CZS susceptibility.

Transcriptional Profile of ZIKV Infection in HTR8 cells and U251 cells

Project description:To identify the various host factors involved in ZIKV infection, we compared the transcriptional profile for ZIKV-infected human first-trimester placenta trophoblast cell (HTR8) and glioblastoma astrocytoma (U251-MG). Our results demonstrated that the common IFN, inflammatory cytokine, and chemokine production were activated upon ZIKV infection of these two cell types while serval DEGs were enriched in distinct biological processes related to the characteristics of cell types. Our findings identified multiple host factors associated with ZIKV pathogenesis and potential treatment of congenital zika syndrome (CZS)

Inter and intra-lineage genetic diversity of Zika virus differs for American isolates

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. ZIKV infections are associated with neurodevelopmental deficiencies termed Congenital Zika Syndrome. ZIKV strains are grouped into three phylogenetic lineages: East African, West African, and Asian, which contains the American lineage. RNA virus genomes exist as genetically-related sequences. The heterogeneity of these viral populations is implicated in viral fitness, and genome diversity is correlated to virulence. This study examines genetic diversity of representative ZIKV strains from all lineages utilizing next generation sequencing (NGS). Inter-lineage diversity results indicate that ZIKV lineages differ broadly from each other; however, intra-lineage comparisons of American ZIKV strains isolated from human serum or placenta show differences in diversity when compared to ZIKVs from Asia and West Africa. This study describes the first comprehensive NGS analysis of all ZIKV lineages and posits that sub-consensus-level diversity may provide a framework for understanding ZIKV fitness during infection.

Serum proteomics of infants in utero exposed to Zika virus without Congenital Zika Syndrome

Project description:In 2015, ZIKV infection attracted international attention during an epidemic in the Americas, when neurological disorders were reported in babies who had their mothers exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy. World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiological data show that 5 to 15% of neonates exposed to ZIKV in the uterus have complications included in abnormalities related to Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). The risk of complications after birth is not well documented, however, clinical evidence shows that 6% of babies exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy have complications present at birth, and this rate rises to 14% when medical monitoring is performed in all exposed babies, regardless of birth condition. Thus, the evaluation and monitoring of all exposed babies are of foremost importance as the development of late complications has been increasingly supported by clinical evidence. The identification of molecular markers in infants exposed to ZIKV without CZS could provide valuable means to improve their clinical monitoring. Here, we used a shotgun-proteomic approach to investigate molecular markers in the serum of infants without CZS symptoms but exposed to ZIKV intrauterine (ZIKV) compared to non-exposed controls (CTRL).

LC-MS/MS - NS-NE - Zika Virus Impairs Neurogenesis and Synaptogenesis Pathways in Human Neural Stem Cells and Neurons

Project description:Growing evidences have associated Zika virus infection with congenital malformations, including microcephaly. Nonetheless, signaling mechanisms that promote the disease outcome are far from being understood, affecting the development of suitable therapeutics. In this study, we applied shotgun mass spectrometry-based proteomics combined with cell biology approaches to characterize altered molecular pathways on neurons and NPCs infected by ZIKV-BR, strain obtained from the 2015 Brazilian outbreak. Assessment of neurons differentiated from iPSC from different donors shows the importance of the host genetic background to the susceptibility of ZIKV infection, also confirmed by cytokine fingerprinting. Additionally, infected cells presented an impairment of neurogenesis and synaptogenesis processes. Moreover, ZIKV-BR infected NPCs showed unique alteration of pathways involved in neurological diseases, cell death and survival and embryonic development compared to ZIKV-AF, showing a human adaptation of the Brazilian viral strain. Taken together, these data explain CNS developmental arrest observed in Congenital Zika Virus syndrome is beyond neuronal cell death.

A single amino acid substitution in the capsid protein of Zika virus contributes to the African lineage-specific virulence phenotypes

Project description:The re-emerged Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause severe neurological complications termed congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in infants born to ZIKV-infected mothers. However, increasing evidence shows the ancestral African lineage ZIKV displays more virulent phenotype than the contemporary Asian ZIKV in multiple cell and animal models. However, the viral determinants and underlying mechanism of this lineage specific virulence phenotype remain largely unknown. In the present study, phylogenetic analysis and sequence alignment identified a panel of lineage specific amino acid substitutions between African and Asian ZIKVs. Then, these amino acid substitutions were introduced into an infectious clone of Asian ZIKV by standard reverse genetic technology. Further characterization in vitro demonstrated that the recovered mutant virus with a lysine to arginine substitution at position 101 of capsid (C) protein (termed K101R) produced larger plaques in BHK-21 cells, and replicated more efficiently and induced more severe cytopathic effects (CPE) in multiple cells including human neuronal precursor cells (NPCs). More importantly, the K101R mutant virus replicated more efficiently in mouse brain tissues, and induced stronger inflammatory responses, leading to higher mortality than the wild type (WT) virus in neonatal mice. Despite no effect on RNA binding affinity of recombinant C protein to viral RNA, structural modeling and biochemical assays showed that the K101R substitution increased the viral protease cleavage efficiency of full C protein. Taken together, our study identified a single amino acid substitution K101R in the capsid protein responsible for the well-characterized virulence enhancement phenotypes, highlighting the importance of viral determinants for the co-circulating of two lineages of ZIKV.

Human Otic progenitor cell models of congenital hearing loss applied to to Zika virus and cytomegalovirus infections

Project description:Congenital hearing loss is a common chronic condition affecting children in both developed and developing nations. In many cases, congenital hearing loss is ultimately attributed to viral infection, most often by cytomegalovirus (CMV), but also in Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). The mechanisms by which CMV and ZIKV virus cause these cranial developmental defects have not been elucidated. Inner ear development has been particularly difficult to study, given the inaccessibility and scarcity of the tissue in animal models or on human autopsy; however, it is now possible to culture stem-cell derived otic progenitor cells (OPCs). Here we describe successful in-vitro infection of OPCs with either CMV or ZIKV. We find that ZIKV infection rapidly and strongly induces the expression of type I IFN and inflammatory genes, while simultaneously decreasing otic cell viability in culture that is at least in part attributable to apoptosis. In contrast, CMV infection did not appear to elicit either of these effects and instead demonstrated a clear dysregulation of the expression of many key genes and pathways associated with inner ear development and function, including Cochlin, NGFR, SOX11 and TGF-β signaling. These findings suggest that ZIKV and CMV infections cause congenital hearing loss through very different pathways; that is, by killing progenitor cells in the case of ZIKV infection, and via disruption of critical developmental pathways in the case of CMV infection. In addition to demonstrating differential hCMV and ZIKV pathogenesis mechanisms in OPCs, this study highlights the advantages of otic progenitor cell models for the study of congenital hearing loss induced by viral infection.

ZIKV infection strongly induces antiviral immune responses in human NPCs

Project description:To investigate the cellular pathologies in human NPCs after ZIKV infection, we performed global transcriptome profiling of the FD, FV, and H&S organoids at 3 and 6 dpi. We found 105 upregulated genes in the FD NPCs, 60 genes in the FV NPCs, and 168 genes in the H&S NPCs, with at least 1.5-fold differences found between ZIKV-infected groups and the control groups at 6 dpi. Among them, 28 genes overlapped in all three regional NPCs. These 28 common genes exclusively referred to the pathways associated with immune responses to viral infection, which could be clustered to the ISG family.

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection. To identify novel antiviral targets and to elucidate the mechanisms by which ZIKV exploits the host cell machinery to support sustained replication, we analyzed the transcriptomic landscape of human microglia, fibroblast, embryonic kidney, and monocyte-derived macrophage cell lines before and after ZIKV infection.
