Genome-wide RNA-seq and Epigenetic analysis of human monocyte derived macrophage responses to Zika virus infection

ABSTRACT: Interpretation of genome-wide investigations of host-pathogen interactions are often obscured by analyses of mixed populations of infected and uninfected cells. Thus, we developed a system whereby we simultaneously characterize and compare genome-wide transcriptional and epigenetic changes in pure populations of virally-infected and neighboring uninfected cells to identify viral-regulated host-responses. Using patient-derived unmodified Zika viruses (ZIKV) infecting primary human macrophages, we reveal that ZIKV suppresses host transcription by multiple mechanisms. ZIKV infection causes both targeted suppression of type I interferon responses and general suppression by reducing RNA polymerase II protein levels and DNA occupancy. Simultaneous evaluation of transcriptomic and epigenetic features of infected and uninfected cells provide a powerful method for identifying coincident evolution of dominant pro-viral or anti-viral mechanisms.

Characterization of m6A modifications in the contemporary Zika virus genome and host cellular transcripts

Project description:Purpose and Methods: To profile m6A modifications on both the viral genome RNA and cellular transcripts, we used Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) on ZIKV SZ1901-infected human hepatocarcinoma cell line Huh7. Results and conclusions: Using MeRIP-seq, we identified a unique m6A map in the genome of ZIKV strain SZ1901 that is different from all previous isolates. Our study describes unique viral and host m6A profiles in contemporary ZIKV-infected Huh7 cells, highlighting the complexity and importance of m6A modification during viral infection.

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.

Single cell analysis reveals differential impact of Zika virus on the host antiviral landscape

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that caused an epidemic in the Americas in 2016 and is linked to severe neonatal birth defects, including microcephaly and spontaneous abortion. To better understand the host response to ZIKV infection, we adapted the 10x Genomics Chromium single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) assay to simultaneously capture viral RNA and host mRNA. Using this assay, we profiled the antiviral landscape in a population of human moDCs infected with ZIKV at the single cell level. The bystander cells, which lacked detectable viral RNA, expressed an antiviral state that was enriched for genes coinciding predominantly with a type I interferon (IFN) response. Within the infected cells, viral RNA negatively correlated with type I IFN dependent and independent genes (antiviral module). We modeled the ZIKV specific antiviral state at the protein level leveraging experimentally derived protein-interaction data. We identified a highly interconnected network between the antiviral module and other host proteins. In this work, we propose a new paradigm for the antiviral response to a specific virus, combining an unbiased list of genes that highly correlate with viral RNA on a per cell basis with experimental protein interaction data. Our ZIKV-inclusive scRNA-seq assay will serve as a useful tool to gaining greater insight into the host response to ZIKV and can be applied more broadly to the flavivirus field.

Analysis of Gene Expression in the Recovered Mouse Brain following Zika Virus Infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. ZIKV can be transmitted from pregnant woman to fetus and causes microcephaly and neuronal defects. Patients infected with ZIKV showed increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines compared to healthy individuals and neurological changes even after recovery. However, the detailed mechanism of how neuronal defects occurs after recovery from ZIKV infection has never been investigated in vivo. Here, we found that viral RNA loads were highest in mouse brain tissue 7 days after ZIKV infection and were equivalent to uninfected controls after 21 days, suggesting that mice recovered after 21 days of ZIKV infection. To explore the pathological mechanisms of neuronal defects after recovery from ZIKV infection, we performed RNA-sequencing in mouse cerebral cortex obtained 7 days and 21 days after ZIKV infection.

Zika virus remodelled ER membranes contain an array of proviral factors involved in redox pathways

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a global health issue, yet neither antiviral therapy nor vaccine are available. ZIKV is an enveloped RNA virus, replicating in the cytoplasm in close association with ER membranes with the help of host cell factors that are poorly characterized. Here, we isolated ER membranes from ZIKV-infected cells and determined their proteome. 46 host cell factors were enriched in ZIKV remodeled membranes, several of these proteins having a role in redox pathways. 4 proteins were characterized in detail. Thioredoxin Reductase 1 (TXNRD1) contributing to folding of disulfide bond containing proteins and modulating ZIKV secretion; aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3), regulating capsid protein abundance and thus, ZIKV assembly; biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) involved in ZIKV induced lipid peroxidation and promoting stability of non-structural proteins having transmembrane domains; Adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY) promoting m6A methylation of ZIKV RNA and thus immune evasion. These results highlight the involvement of redox enzymes in ZIKV life cycle and their recruitment to virally remodeled ER membranes.

Zika Virus Non-Coding RNAs Antagonize Antiviral Responses by PKR-Mediated Translational Arrest (Ribo-Seq)

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes severe outbreaks in human populations. ZIKV infection leads to the accumulation of small non-coding viral RNAs (known as sfRNAs) that are crucial for evasion of antiviral responses and for viral pathogenesis. However, the mechanistic understanding of how sfRNAs function remains incomplete. Here, we use recombinant ZIKVs and ribosome profiling of infected human cells to show that sfRNAs block translation of antiviral genes. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that specific RNA structures present in sfRNAs trigger PKR activation, which instead of limiting viral replication, enhances viral particle production. Although ZIKV infection induces mRNA expression of antiviral genes, translation efficiency of type I interferon and interferon stimulated genes were significantly downregulated by PKR activation. Our results reveal a novel viral adaptation mechanism mediated by sfRNAs, where ZIKV increases its fitness by repurposing the antiviral role of PKR into a proviral factor.

Identification of AGO-associated viral interfering RNAs in Zika virus infected neural stem cells

Project description:Viral interfering RNA (viRNA) has been identified from several viral genomes via directly deep RNA sequencing of the virus-infected cells, including zika virus (ZIKV). Once produced by endoribonuclease Dicer, viRNAs, similar to microRNAs, are loaded onto Argonaute (AGO) family proteins of the RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) to pair with their RNA targets and then initiate cleavage of the target genes. However, identities of functional ZIKV viRNAs and their viral RNA targets remain largely unknown. By combining AGO-associated RNA sequencing, deep sequencing analysis in ZIKV-infected neural stem cells (NSCs), and miRanda target scanning, we have defined 29 ZIKV derived viRNA profiles in NSCs, and established the complex interaction networks between the viRNAs and their viral targets. Our recent study has shown that ZIKV capsid protein interacted with Dicer and antagonized its endoribonuclease activity depending on its histidine (H) at the 41st amino acid. Accordingly, the rescued ZIKV-H41R mutant virus, compared to wild-type ZIKV, no longer suppressed Dicer enzymatic activity and consequently failed to inhibit miRNA biogenesis in NSCs. As a result, much higher levels of viRNAs generated from the ZIKV-H41R virus-infected NSCs, suggesting Dicer-dependent viRNA production. Knockdown of individual RNAi machinery in ZIKV-infected NSCs suggests that viRNA is a limiting factor of ZIKV infection in NSCs. The mapping of viRNAs to their RNA targets is paving a way to further investigate how viRNAs play the role in anti-viral mechanisms or even other unknown biological functions.

Immunoprofiling of CD14+ blood monocytes upon Zika virus infection

Project description:Blood CD14+ monocytes are the frontline immunomodulators categorized into classical, intermediate or non-classical subsets, subsequently differentiating into M1 pro- or M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages upon stimulation. While Zika virus (ZIKV) rapidly establishes viremia, the target cells and immune responses, particularly during pregnancy, remain elusive. Furthermore, it is unknown whether African- and Asian-lineage ZIKV have different phenotypic impacts on host immune responses. Using human blood infection, we identified CD14+ monocytes as the primary target for African- or Asian-lineage ZIKV infection. When immunoprofiles of human blood infected with ZIKV were compared, a classical/intermediate monocyte-mediated M1-skewed inflammation by African-lineage ZIKV infection was observed, in contrast to a non-classical monocyte-mediated M2-skewed immunosuppression by Asian-lineage ZIKV infection. Importantly, infection of pregnant women’s blood revealed enhanced susceptibility to ZIKV infection. Specifically, Asian-lineage ZIKV infection of pregnant women’s blood led to an exacerbated M2-skewed immunosuppression of non-classical monocytes in conjunction with global suppression of type I interferon-signaling pathway and an aberrant expression of host genes associated with pregnancy complications. 30 ZIKV+ sera from symptomatic pregnant patients also showed elevated levels of M2-skewed immunosuppressive cytokines and pregnancy complication-associated fibronectin-1. This study demonstrates the differential immunomodulatory responses of blood monocytes, particularly during pregnancy, upon infection with different lineages of ZIKV.
