Endogenous retroviruses mediate IFN-independent protection against HSV-2 infection

ABSTRACT: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genomic sequences that originated from retroviruses and are present in most eukaryotic genomes. Both beneficial and detrimental functions are attributed to ERVs, but whether ERVs contribute to antiviral immunity is not well studied. Here, we used herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection as a model and found that mice deficient in Toll-like receptor 7 (Tlr7-/-) that have high systemic levels of infectious ERVs are resistant to intravaginal HSV-2 infection, compared with wildtype C57BL/6 (B6) mice. We deleted the endogenous ecotropic murine leukemia virus (Emv2) locus on the Tlr7-/- background (Emv2-/-Tlr7-/-) and found that Emv2-/-Tlr7-/- mice lose protection against HSV-2 infection. Intravaginal application of purified ERVs prior to HSV-2 infection delays disease in both B6 and highly susceptible interferon-alpha receptor-deficient (Ifnar1-/-) mice. We did not observe enhanced type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling in the vaginal tissues from Tlr7-/- mice or B6 mice treated with purified ERVs, and instead found enrichment in genes associated with extracellular matrix organization. Together, our results revealed an IFN-independent modulation of the vaginal epithelium by ERVs that protects mice against vaginal HSV-2 infection and delays disease.

Effect of NK1.1+ cell depletion on vaginal neutrophil gene expression during HSV-1 infection

Project description:Depletion of NK1.1+ cells from mice prior to intravaginal HSV-1 infection results in severely increased genital disease and mucosal tissue damage. We determined that this loss of host protection in the absence of NK1.1+ cells was dependent on neutrophils, suggesting that NK1.1+ cells may be modulating neutrophil behavior during infection. To obtain an unbiased view of the transcriptional changes occuring in neutrophils that might explain this difference in disease outcomes, we performed sequencing of total RNA from neutrophils isolated from vaginas of intact or NK1.1 depleted mice 5 days after HSV-1 infection.

Mucosal CCL28 Chemokine Improves Protection against Genital Herpes through Mobilization of Antiviral Effector Memory CCR10+CD44+ CD62L-CD8+ T Cells and Memory CCR10+B220+CD27+ B Cells into the Infected Vaginal Mucosa

Project description:Four major mucosal-associated chemokines, CCL25, CCL28, CXCL14, and CXCL17, play an important role in protecting mucosal surfaces from infectious pathogens. However, their role in protection against genital herpes remains to be fully explored. The CCL28 is a chemoattractant for the CCR10 receptor-expressing immune cells and is produced homeostatically in the human vaginal mucosa (VM). In this study, we investigated the role of the CCL28/CCR10 chemokine axis in mobilizing protective antiviral B and T cell subsets into the VM site of herpes infection. We report a significant increase in the frequencies of HSV-specific memory CCR10+CD44+CD8+ T cells, expressing high levels of CCR10, in herpes-infected asymptomatic (ASYMP) women compared with symptomatic women. Similarly, a significant increase in the CCL28 chemokine (a ligand of CCR10), was detected in the VM of herpes-infected ASYMP C57BL/6 mice, associated with the mobilization of high frequencies of HSV-specific effector memory CCR10+CD44+CD62L-CD8+ TEM cells and memory CCR10+B220+CD27+ B cells in the VM of HSV-infected ASYMP mice. Inversely, compared with wild-type C57BL/6 mice, the CCL28 knockout (CCL28-/-) mice (1) appeared to be more susceptible to intravaginal infection and reinfection with HSV type 2, and (2) exhibited a significant decrease in the frequencies of HSV-specific effector memory CCR10+CD44+CD62L-CD8+ TEM cells and of memory CD27+B220+ B cells in the infected VM. These findings suggest a critical role of the CCL28/CCR10 chemokine axis in the mobilization of antiviral memory B and T cells within the VM to protect against genital herpes infection and disease.

Acid ceramidase of macrophages traps herpes simplex virus in multivesicular bodies and protects from severe disease

Project description:Macrophages have important protective functions during infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). However, molecular mechanisms that restrict viral propagation and protect from severe disease are unclear. Here we found that macrophages take up HSV-1 via endocytosis and transport the virions into multivesicular bodies (MVBs). In MVBs, acid ceramidase (aCDase) converts ceramide into sphingosine and increases the formation of sphingosine-rich intraluminal vesicles (ILVs). Once HSV-1 particles pass MVBs, sphingosine-rich ILVs bind to HSV-1 particles, which restricts fusion with the limiting endosomal membrane and prevents cellular infection. Lack of aCDase in macrophage cultures or in Asah1–/– mice results in replication of HSV-1 and Asah1–/– mice died soon after systemic or intravaginal inoculation. The treatment of macrophages with sphingosine enhancing compounds blocks HSV-1 propagation, suggesting a therapeutic potential of this pathway. In conclusion, we demonstrate that aCDase loads ILVs with sphingosine, which prevents HSV-1 capsids from penetrating into the cytosol.

TRIM28 silences endogenous retroviruses in neural progenitor cells

Project description:Here we show that in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) TRIM28 silences transcription of two groups of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): IAP1 and MMERVK10C. Derepression of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs was associated with a loss of H3K9me3 and resulted in transcriptional upregulation and reverse transcription. These findings demonstrate a unique dynamic transcriptional regulation of ERVs in NPCs. Analysis of upregulation of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs

SETDB1 Represses Endogenous and Exogenous Retroviruses in B Lymphocytes [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Genome stability relies on epigenetic mechanisms that enforce repression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Current evidence suggests that distinct chromatin-based mechanisms repress ERVs in cells of embryonic origin (histone methylation-dominant) versus more differentiated cells (DNA methylation-dominant). However, the latter aspect of this model has not been tested. Remarkably, and in contrast to the prevailing model, we find that repressive histone methylation catalyzed by the enzyme SETDB1 is critical for suppression of specific ERV families and exogenous retroviruses in committed B-lineage cells from adult mice. The profile of ERV activation in SETDB1-deficient B cells is distinct from that observed in corresponding embryonic tissues, despite the loss of repressive chromatin modifications at all ERVs. We provide evidence that, upon loss of SETDB1, ERVs are activated in a lineage-specific manner depending on the set of transcription factors available to target proviral regulatory elements. These findings have important implications for genome stability in somatic cells, as well as the interface between epigenetic repression and viral latency.
