Profilling of viral and host transcriptome in SARS-CoV-2 infected A549-ACE2 cells with VIC or B.1.1.7 strains.

ABSTRACT: Despite an unprecedented global research effort on SARS-CoV-2, early replication events remain poorly understood. Given the clinical importance of emergent viral variants with increased transmission, there is an urgent need to understand the early stages of viral replication and transcription. We used single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridisation (smFISH) to quantify positive sense RNA genomes with 95% detection efficiency, while simultaneously visualising negative sense genomes, sub-genomic RNAs and viral proteins. Our absolute quantification of viral RNAs and replication factories revealed that SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA is long-lived after entry, suggesting that it avoids degradation by cellular nucleases. Moreover, we observed that SARS-CoV-2 replication is highly variable between cells, with only a small cell population displaying high burden of viral RNA. Unexpectedly, the B.1.1.7 variant, first identified in the UK, exhibits significantly slower replication kinetics than the Victoria strain, suggesting a novel mechanism contributing to its higher transmissibility with important clinical implications.

RNA-seq time-course of Calu-3 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 early-lineage and Alpha variant viruses

Project description:Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), including the globally successful Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant, suggests viral adaptation to enhance human-to-human transmission. Although much effort has focused on characterisation of spike changes, Alpha mutations outside spike likely contribute to adaptation. Here we used RNAseq as well as viral replication assays to show that Alpha isolates more effectively suppress innate immune responses (ISGs as assessed by RNA) in airway epithelial cells, compared to first wave isolates. We found that Alpha has dramatically increased subgenomic RNA and protein levels of N, Orf9b and Orf6, all known innate immune antagonists.

SND1 binds SARS-CoV-2 negative-sense RNA and promotes viral RNA synthesis through NSP9

Project description:Regulation of viral RNA biogenesis is fundamental to productive SARS-CoV-2 infection. To characterize host RNA-binding proteins involved in this process, we biochemically identified proteins bound to genomic and subgenomic SARS-CoV-2 RNAs. We find that the host protein SND1 specifically binds to the 5'-end of negative-sense viral RNA and is required for SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis. SND1-depleted cells form smaller replication organelles and display diminished virus growth kinetics. We discover that NSP9, a viral RNA-binding protein and direct SND1 interaction partner, is covalently linked to the 5'-ends of positive and negative-sense RNAs produced during infection. These linkages occur at replication-transcription initiation sites, consistent with NSP9 priming viral RNA synthesis. Mechanistically, SND1 remodels NSP9 occupancy and alters the covalent linkage of NSP9 to initiating nucleotides in viral RNA. Our findings implicate NSP9 in the initiation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis and unravel an unsuspected role of a cellular protein in orchestrating viral RNA production.

Analysis on Replication and Transcription of SARS-CoV-2 and inhition effect of Remdesivir

Project description:SARS-CoV-2, a betacoronavirus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome, caused the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedent health and socio-economic crisis. Although its general sense mRNA architecture was reported, that of its negative strand was unexplored. We combined poly(A)-mRNA and ribosomal RNA-depleted sequencing to delineate several fine features of both RNA strands. Together with the transcriptome data under the perturbation of anti-viral drug Remdesivir, this project opens new sights into SARS-CoV-2 replication mechanism and may facilitate the anti-viral drug design.

An inhaled therapeutic targeting a conserved RNA structure in SARS-CoV-2

Project description:The Covid-19 pandemic is exacting an increasing toll worldwide, with new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging that exhibit higher infectivity rates and which may partially evade vaccine and antibody immunity. Rapid deployment of non-invasive therapeutic avenues capable of preventing infection by all SARS-CoV-2 variants could complement current vaccination efforts and help turn the tide on the Covid-19 pandemic. Here, we describe a novel therapeutic strategy targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RNA using locked nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotides (LNA ASOs). We identified an LNA ASO binding to the 5’ leader sequence of SARS-CoV-2 ORF1a/b and which disrupts a highly conserved stem-loop structure, with nanomolar efficacy in preventing viral replication in human cells. Daily intranasal administration of this LNA ASO in the K18-hACE2 humanized Covid-19 mouse model potently (98-99%) suppressed viral replication in the lungs of infected mice, revealing strong prophylactic and treatment effects. We found that the LNA ASO is highly efficacious in countering all SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) tested in vitro and in vivo, including B.1.427 (CA), B.1.1.7 (UK), and B.1.351 (SA) variants. LNA ASOs are chemically stable and can be flexibly modified to target different viral RNA sequences. Hence, virus-targeting LNA ASOs represent a promising therapeutic approach to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, especially in areas where vaccine distribution is a challenge, and it may be stockpiled for future coronavirus pandemics.

RNA sequencing of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 N proteins expressing cell lines

Project description:SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the causative agents of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are genetically related positive-sense RNA viruses that may cause similar pathophysiology. Despite host could activate interferon responses upon coronaviral infection to suppress virus replication, both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have evolved strategies to inhibit interferon response. Here, we constructed SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 N proteins expressing cell lines (HEK293T-N and HEK293T-2N) and performed RNA sequencing analysis, showing that both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV N proteins could inhibit expression of early growth response gene 1 (EGR1) to suppress interferon response. Moreover, EGR1 could degrade N proteins of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 in a lysosome-dependent manner, and inhibit viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings revealed the important role of EGR1 in host innate immune response against SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, which would contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of human coronaviruses and development of antiviral therapies. In addition, we demonstrated that both N proteins could upregulate expression of nervous development-related genes, which may be associated with the neurological symptoms of COVID-19 and SARS patients.

Applying defective interfering viral genome bioinformatics for detection of coronavirus subgenomic RNAs

Project description:Coronavirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerases produce subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs) that encode viral structural and accessory proteins. The kinetics and efficiency of sgRNAs production during viral replication in different cell types or sgRNA transcription by individual viral strains or variants are yet to be studied to shed light on fundamental mechanisms necessary for viral replication. User-friendly bioinformatic tools to detect and quantify sgRNA production are urgently needed to study a growing number of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of SARS-CoV-2. Starting from DI-tector, a bioinformatic tool for the detection of viral defective interfering genomes, here we introduced sgDI-tector to identify and quantify sgRNA in SARS-CoV-2 NGS data. This new tool allowed detection of sgRNA without initial knowledge of the transcription-regulatory sequences. As a proof of principle, we analyzed new data sets and successfully detected the nested set of sgRNAs produced with the ranking M>ORF3a>N>ORF6>ORF7a>ORF8>S>E>ORF7b. Our study also compared, for the first time for SARS-CoV-2, the level of sgRNA production with other types of viral RNA products such as defective interfering viral genomes.

SARS-CoV-2 infection rewires host cell metabolism and is potentially susceptible to mTORC1 inhibition

Project description:Viruses hijack host cell metabolism to acquire the building blocks required for viral replication. Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 alters host cell metabolism could lead to potential treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here we profile metabolic changes conferred by SARS-CoV-2 infection in kidney epithelial cells and lung air-liquid interface cultures and show that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases glucose carbon entry into the TCA cycle via increased pyruvate carboxylase expression. SARS-CoV-2 also reduces host cell oxidative glutamine metabolism while maintaining reductive carboxylation. Consistent with these changes in host cell metabolism, we show that SARS-CoV-2 increases activity of mTORC1, a master regulator of anabolic metabolism, in cell lines and patient lung stem cell-derived airway epithelial cells. We also show evidence of mTORC1 activation in COVID-19 patient lung tissue. Notably, mTORC1 inhibitors reduce viral replication in kidney epithelial cells and patient-derived lung stem cell cultures. This suggests that targeting mTORC1 could be a useful antiviral strategy for SARS-CoV-2 and treatment strategy for COVID-19 patients, although further studies are required to determine the mechanism of inhibition and potential efficacy in patients.

Comparative Pathogenesis of Three Human and Zoonotic SARS-CoV Strains in Cynomolgus Macaques

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic was characterized by increased pathogenicity in the elderly due to an early exacerbated innate host response. SARS-CoV is a zoonotic pathogen that entered the human population through an intermediate host like the palm civet. To prevent future introductions of zoonotic SARS-CoV strains and subsequent transmission into the human population, heterologous disease models are needed to test the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics against both late human and zoonotic isolates. Here we show that both human and zoonotic SARS-CoV strains can infect cynomolgus macaques and resulted in radiological as well as histopathological changes similar to those seen in mild human cases. Viral replication was higher in animals infected with a late human phase isolate compared to a zoonotic isolate. Host responses to the three SARS-CoV strains were similar and only apparent early during infection with the majority of genes associated with interferon signalling pathways.This study characterizes critical disease models in the evaluation and licensure of therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV for human use 4 strains, time course, lungs

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA-protein interactome in infected human cells

Project description:Characterizing the interactions that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNAs make with host cell proteins during infection can improve our understanding of viral RNA functions and the host innate immune response. Using RNA antisense purification and mass spectrometry (RAP-MS), we identify up to 104 human proteins that directly and specifically bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNAs in infected human cells. We integrate the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome with proteome abundance changes induced by viral infection and link interactome proteins to cellular pathways relevant to SARS-CoV-2 infections. We demonstrate by genetic perturbation that CNBP and LARP1, two of the most strongly enriched viral RNA binders, restrict SARS-CoV-2 replication in infected cells and provide a global map of their direct RNA contact sites. Pharmacological inhibition of three other RNA interactome members, PPIA, ATP1A1, and the ARP2/3 complex, reduces viral replication in two human cell lines. The identification of host dependency factors and defence strategies as presented in this work will improve the design of targeted therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2.
