Project description:In addition to directly inhibiting viral proteins, some antiviral drugs inhibit virus replication through regulation of host gene expression. Here we test whether antiviral activity of antivirals is independent of modulating gene expression in infected host cells.

Project description:Classical antiviral therapy inhibit viral proteins and are subject to resistance. To counteract this emergence, alternative strategy has been developed that target cellular factors. We hypothesized that such approach could also be useful to identify broad antivirals. Influenza A virus was used as a model for viral diversity and need for therapy against unpredictable viruses as recently underlined by the H1N1 pandemic. We proposed to identify a gene-expression signature associated with infection with different influenza A virus subtypes which could help to identify potential antiviral drugs with broad spectrum. Cellular gene expression response to infection with five different human and avian influenza viruses strains was analyzed and 300 genes were determined as differentially expressed between infected and non-infected samples. Strikingly, only a few genes were induced by infection and related to immune response. A more concise list was used to screen connectivity map, a database of drug-associated gene expression profiles, for molecules with inverse profiles than the signature of infection. We hypothesized that such compounds would induce an unfavorable cellular environment for influenza virus replication. Eight potential antivirals including ribavirin were identified, and six inhibited influenza viral growth in vitro. The new pandemic H1N1 virus, which was not used to define the gene expression signature of infection, was inhibited by five of the eight identified molecules, demonstrating that this strategy could help to identify broad spectrum antivirals. This is the first study showing that a gene expression based-screening can be used to identify antivirals. Such approaches could accelerate the drug discovery progress and could be extended to other pathogens. A549 (human lung epithelial cells) were infected with 5 different influenza A strains (A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2), A/Lyon/969/09 (H1N1 SOI-V), A/Turkey/582/2006 (H5N1), A/Finch/England/2051/94 (H5N2), and A/Chicken/Italy/2076/99 (H7N1)) or mock infected. Five independant replicates were done and hybridized on a different microarray. The overall design is thus composed of 5 mock samples, and 5x5 infected samples.

Project description:Targeted protein degradation (TPD), as exemplified by proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), is a prominent paradigm in drug discovery. In this study, we applied conventional and novel PROTAC approaches to develop broad-spectrum antivirals (targeting key host factors for many different viruses) and virus-specific antivirals (targeting unique viral proteins). With respect to host-directed antivirals, we identified a small molecule degrader, FM-74-103, with pan-antiviral activities, as shown by inhibiting both RNA and DNA viruses. FM-74-103 elicits the selective degradation of human GSPT1, a translation termination factor, which further shuts down translation initiation. With respect to virus-specific antivirals, we developed viral RNA oligonucleotide-based bifunctional molecules (Destroyers). We provided proof-ofprinciple that RNA mimics of viral promoter sequences can be used as molecular glues to recruit viral polymerase (vPOL) and target it for degradation. Collectively, this study shows that TPD can be exploited to rationally design and develop the next generations of antivirals.

Project description:We conducted a high-throughput drug repositioning screen using the LOPAC®1280 and the ReFRAME drug libraries to identify existing drugs that harbor antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, in a Vero E6 cell-based assay. We additionally performed RNA sequencing on control and SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 cells to study the biological changes after SARS-CoV-2 infection and to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying the positive hits identified from our high-throughput screen. Vero E6 cells were either mock-infected or infected with SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020 (MOI = 0.3) with three replicates. Cells were harvested 24 hours after infection, and total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen® RNeasy® Plus Mini Kit. The quality of the extracted RNA was assessed with the Agilent® 2100 Bioanalyzer. Libraries were prepared from total RNA following ribosome RNA depletion using standard protocol according to Illumina®. Total RNA sequencing was then performed on the Illumina® NextSeq system; 150bp paired-end runs were performed and 100 million raw reads per sample were generated.

Project description:Targeted protein degradation (TPD) has emerged as a promising new drug development paradigm. We leveraged this strategy to develop a new class of small molecule antivirals that induce proteasomal degradation of viral proteins. Telaprevir, a ‘reversible-covalent’ inhibitor that binds to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease active site was conjugated to ligands that recruit the CRL4CRBN ligase complex, yielding compounds that can both inhibit and induce the degradation of the HCV NS3/4A protease. We developed an optimized degrader, DGY-08-097, that potently inhibits HCV in a cellular infection model and demonstrate that protein degradation contributes to its antiviral activity. Finally, we show that this new class of antiviral agents can overcome viral variants that confer resistance to traditional enzymatic inhibitors such as telaprevir. Overall, our work provides proof-of-concept that targeted protein degradation may provide a new paradigm for the development of antivirals with superior resistance profiles.

Project description:The rapid repurposing of antivirals is particularly pressing during pandemics. However, rapid assays for assessing candidate drugs typically involve in vitro screens and cell lines that do not recapitulate human physiology at the tissue and organ levels. Here, we show that a microfluidic bronchial-airway-on-a-chip lined by highly differentiated human bronchial-airway epithelium and pulmonary endothelium can model viral infection, strain-dependent virulence, cytokine production, and the recruitment of circulating immune cells. In chips infected with pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), clinically relevant doses of the antimalarial drug amodiaquine inhibited infection, but clinical doses of hydroxychloroquine and other antiviral drugs that inhibit the entry of pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 in cell lines under static conditions did not. We also show that amodiaquine showed substantial prophylactic and therapeutic activities in hamsters challenged with native SARS-CoV-2. The human airway-on-a-chip may accelerate the identification of therapeutics and prophylactics with repurposing potential.
