Evolutionary selection of pestivirus variants with altered or no miRNA dependency

ABSTRACT: Host microRNA (miRNA) dependency is a hallmark of the human pathogen hepatitis C virus (HCV) and was recently also described for the related pestiviruses, which are important livestock pathogens. HCV critically depends on the liver-specific miR-122, whereas the broadly expressed let-7 and miR-17 families bind two sites (S1 and S2) in the pestiviral 3’ untranslated region (UTR). Here, we elucidated the miRNA dependency of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and confirmed its critical dependence on miR-17 and Argonaute 2 (AGO2). Let-7 binding to S1 had only minor effect on virus production but was required for full translational efficiency. Evolutionary selection experiments using seed site randomized genomes revealed that tropism could be re-directed to different miRNAs. AGO cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (AGO-CLIP) and miRNA antagonism demonstrated that these alternative variants bound and depended on the corresponding miRNAs. Furthermore, we identified variants with miRNA independent replication through acquisition of compensatory mutations near the genomic 3’ terminus. Rescue experiments using miRNA mimics demonstrated that miRNA binding and 3’ mutagenesis contribute to replication through mutually exclusive mechanisms. Our findings illustrate that pestiviruses, although capable of miRNA independent replication, took advantage of miRNAs as essential host factors, suggesting a favorable path during evolutionary adaptation.

Hepatitis C virus functionally sequesters miR-122 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Hepatitis C virus uniquely requires the liver specific microRNA-122 for replication, yet global effects on endogenous miRNA targets during infection are unexplored. Here, high-throughput sequencing and crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) experiments of human Argonaute (Ago) during HCV infection showed robust Ago binding on the HCV 5’UTR, at known and predicted miR-122 sites. On the human transcriptome, we observed reduced Ago binding and functional mRNA de-repression of miR-122 targets during virus infection. This miR-122 “sponge” effect could be relieved and redirected to miR-15 targets by swapping the miRNA tropism of the virus. Single-cell expression data from reporters containing miR-122 sites showed significant de-repression during HCV infection depending on expression level and number of sites. We describe a quantitative mathematical model of HCV induced miR-122 sequestration and propose that such miR-122 inhibition by HCV RNA may result in global de-repression of host miR-122 targets, providing an environment fertile for the long-term oncogenic potential of HCV. mRNA-seq libraries were generated from mock or J6/JFH1 Clone2 infected Huh7.5 cells. Cells were infected at an MOI of 1-2 and harvested at 72 hours and 96 hours post-infection for CLIP. Libraries were generated using Illumina Truseq technology.

miR-122-dependent binding of TNRC6 to HCV RNA

Project description:The liver-specific microRNA, miR-122, is an essential host factor for replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important infectious cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. miR-122 stabilizes the positive-strand HCV RNA genome and promotes viral RNA synthesis by binding two closely spaced sites (S1 and S2) near the 5’ end of the genome in association with Ago2. Ago2 is essential for both host factor activities, but whether other host proteins are involved is unknown. Using a quantitative proteomics approach, we identified TNRC6A (GW182) and its paralogs (TNRC6B and TNRC6C), as functionally important components of the miR-122/Ago2 host factor complex binding HCV RNA. Depletion of any two TNRC6 proteins reduced HCV replication in Huh-7.5 cells,but did not reduce viral RNA stability or translational activity, but rather dampened miR-122 stimulation of viral RNA synthesis. However, TNRC6 depletion had no effect on replication of HCV in which S2 was mutated so that miR-122 binds only S1, whereas it significantly enhanced replication when S1 was mutated and only S2 bound by miR-122. Consistent with this, we found that TNRC6 proteins preferentially associate with the S1 site, and that the association of Ago2 with S2 is increased in TNRC6-depleted cells. Collectively, these data suggest a model in which TNRC6 proteins, which are known to interact with Ago2, preferentially direct the miR-122/Ago2 complex to S1 while restricting its association with S2, thereby fine tuning the spatial organization of miR-122/Ago2 complexes bound to the viral RNA.

AGO HITS-CLIP libraries were generated from mock, LNA or miravirsen treated, or from U3 virus electroporated Huh7.5 cells. Cells were harvested for CLIP 48 hours after small RNA treatment and 17 days after virus electroporation. LNA treatments for U3 virus infected cells was carried out for 48hours. Libraries were generated with a 4nt index read, a common priming sequence, followed by a 5nt degenerate barcode terminiating in a G. Files have been demultiplexed such that the 5nt degenerate barcode has been appended as the first 5 nucleotides of the read.

A broad RNA virus survey reveals dependence on host miRNAs and specific sequestration modulating the cellular transcriptome

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs have emerged as key players in modulation of viral infection. A unique example is the critical dependence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the liver-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-122, which has surfaced as therapeutic target. Here, we used crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) of the Argonaute (AGO) protein to characterize strengths and specificities of miRNA interactions across 15 viral genomes. Intriguingly, replication of pestiviruses, which are major threats to milk and meat industry, critically depends on cellular miR-17 and let-7 interactions with the viral 3’UTR. Like HCV, miRNA binding enhanced translation and prevented viral RNA degradation. On the cellular transcriptome, pestiviral miR-17 sequestration in vitro and ex vivo conferred reduced AGO binding and functional mRNA de-repression for miR-17 targets. These findings generalize the concept of RNA virus dependence on cellular miRNAs, highlight such interactions as therapeutic targets, and connect functional regulation of the transcriptome in primary cells to miRNA sequestration.
