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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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).

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)

Systems analysis of viral infection in the embryonic central nervous system (CNS)

Project description:A new mouse model for congenital Zika infection in a wildtype, immunocompetent background employing intraplacental infection resulted in productive infection of embryonic brains and features of microcephaly during early development (E10.5-16.5). Gross morphological characterization showed translational relevance for understanding the viral neuropathogenesis and Zika-associated microcephaly in humans. Thus, an integrated, multi-omics (RNA-sequencing, proteomics) analysis of fetal brain tissues was performed to understand pathways perturbed by viral infection in developing brains. These analyses identified virus-induced defects in cell cycle progression and neurodevelopment, in S-phase DNA replication and NEUROD2/TBR2 transcription factor cascades, respectively. Among the most significant responses was induction of innate immune programs in ZIKV-infected brains, including immunoproteasome activation and MHC-I antigen display associated with immune cell infiltration and neuronal death during early development. Identification of specific components within major pathways contributing to viral infection-induced effects on neurodevelopment provides novel targets for therapeutic intervention against neurotropic infections and ZIKV-associated microcephaly specifically.

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.

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

Project description: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.

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.
