MAVS signaling is required for preventing persistent chikungunya heart infection and chronic vascular tissue inflammation

ABSTRACT: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection has been associated with severe cardiac manifestations. However, how CHIKV infection leads to heart disease remains unknown. Here, using C57BL/6 mice we show that cardiac fibroblasts are the main target of CHIKV infection in the heart, and that cardiac tissue infection induces activation of the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway in both infected and non-infected cardiac cells. The loss of IFN-I signaling results in increased CHIKV infection, virus spreading, and apoptosis in cardiac tissue. Importantly, signaling through the mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) is essential for efficient CHIKV clearance from the heart. Indeed, persistent infection in cardiac tissue of MAVS-deficient mice leads to cardiac damage characterized by focal myocarditis and major vessel vasculitis. This study provides mechanistic insight on how CHIKV can lead to cardiac damage, underscoring the importance of monitoring cardiac function in patients with CHIKV infections.

Chikungunya Virus Time Course Infection of Human Macrophages

Project description:Human monocyte-derived macrophage cells were infected with Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) to identify and quantify intracellular transcriptional changes that contribute to the host response to infection with CHIKV. RNA was collected from these cells at 8 and 24 hours post-infection (hpi) and were compared to mock-infected cells. The RNAseq data was then analyzed to determine the genes, functions, and signaling pathways that were significantly affected in an effort to predict existing drugs that could be repurposed as potential therapeutics for CHIKV.

A commensal Clostridium bacteria restricts alphavirus dissemination through a bile acid-type I IFN signaling axis

Project description:The emerging alphavirus chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has infected millions of people. However, the factors modulating disease outcome remain poorly understood. We show that depletion of the gut microbiota in oral antibiotic-treated or germ-free mice leads to greater CHIKV infection and spread within one day of virus inoculation. Perturbation of the gut microbiota alters TLR7-MyD88 signaling in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and blunts systemic production of type I interferon (IFN). Consequently, circulating monocytes express fewer IFN-stimulated genes and become permissive for CHIKV infection. Reconstitution with a single commensal bacterial species, Clostridium scindens, or its derived metabolite, the bile acid deoxycholic acid, can restore pDC- and MyD88-dependent type I IFN responses to restrict systemic CHIKV infection and transmission back to vector mosquitoes. Thus, commensal gut bacteria modulate antiviral immunity and levels of circulating alphaviruses within hours of infection through a bile acid-pDC-IFN signaling axis, which affects virus dissemination and potentially, epidemic spread 3 biological replicates were processed per time point and group

A critical role for STING signaling in limiting pathogenesis of Chikungunya virus

Project description:The stimulator-of-interferon-gene (STING) pathway controls both DNA and RNA virus infection. STING is essential for induction of innate immune responses during DNA virus infection, while its mechanism against RNA virus remains largely elusive. We show that STING signaling is crucial for restricting Chikungunya virus infection and arthritis pathogenesis. Sting-deficient mice (Stinggt/gt) had elevated viremia throughout the viremic stage and viral burden in the feet transiently, along with a normal type I IFN response. Stinggt/gt mice presented much greater foot swelling, joint damage and immune cell infiltration than WT mice. Intriguingly, expression of interferon gamma and its induced Cxcl10 was continuously upregulated by ~7-10-fold, and further elevated in Stinggt/gt mice synchronously with arthritis progression. However, expression of chemoattractants for and activators of neutrophils, Cxcl5, Cxcl7 and Cxcr2 was suppressed in Stinggt/gt joints. These results demonstrate that STING deficiency leads to an aberrant chemokine response that promotes pathogenesis of CHIKV arthritis.

The novel lncRNA ALPHA specifically targets chikungunya virus to control infection

Project description:We set out to determine whether lncRNAs can contribute to additional antiviral immune strategies independently of canonical innate signaling. High-throughput genetic screening of 2200 human lncRNAs led to the identification of the cytoplasmic antiviral lncRNA Antiviral LncRNA Prohibiting Human Alphaviruses (ALPHA) which is transcriptionally induced by alphaviruses and functions independently of IFN to specifically inhibit the replication of CHIKV and its closest relative, O’nyong’nyong virus (ONNV), but not other viruses. Furthermore, we showed that ALPHA interacts with CHIKV genomic RNA and restrains viral RNA replication. Together, our findings reveal that ALPHA and potentially other lncRNAs can mediate non-canonical antiviral immune responses against specific viral pathogens.

Aedes aegypti Aag-2 cells proteome modulation in response to Chikungunya virus infection

Project description:Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a single-stranded positive RNA virus that belongs to the genus Alphavirus and is transmitted to humans by infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus bites. In humans, CHIKV can cause painful symptoms during acute and chronic stages of infection. However, the virus-vector interaction has characteristics that allow a persistent infection, not disturbing the mosquito’s fitness. Here, we aimed to clarify aspects of CHIKV infection in Ae. aegypti Aag-2 cells through label-free quantitative proteomic analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We used MOI 0.1 to infect Aag-2 cells in biological triplicates over 48 h. TEM images show a high load of intracellular viral cargo at 48 hpi, as well as an elongated unusual mitochondria morphology that might indicate a mitochondrial imbalance. Moreover, a total of 196 Ae. aegypti protein groups were up or downregulated upon infection, related to protein synthesis, energy metabolism, signaling pathways and apoptosis. These regulated Aag-2 proteins might have roles in antiviral and/or in pro-viral mechanisms during CHIKV infection, to support the balance between viral propagation and the survival of host cell, leading to the persistent infection.

Chikungunya virus infection disrupts lymph node lymphatic endothelial cell composition and function via MARCO

Project description:Infection with chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes disruption of draining lymph node (dLN) organization, including paracortical relocalization of B cells, loss of the B cell-T cell border, and lymphocyte depletion that is associated with infiltration of the LN with inflammatory myeloid cells. Here, we find that during the first 24 h of infection, CHIKV RNA accumulates in MARCO-expressing lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in both the floor and medullary LN sinuses. The accumulation of viral RNA in the LN was associated with a switch to an antiviral and inflammatory gene expression program across LN stromal cells, and this inflammatory response, including recruitment of myeloid cells to the LN, was accelerated by CHIKV-MARCO interactions. As CHIKV infection progressed, both floor and medullary LECs diminished in number, suggesting further functional impairment of the LN by infection. Consistent with this idea, antigen acquisition by LECs, a key function of LN LECs during infection and immunization, was reduced during pathogenic CHIKV infection.

Altered brain pathways following Chikungunya virus infection

Project description:A kinetic analysis of host proteome modifications in the brain of CHIKV-infected mice sampled before and after the onset of clinical symptoms was performed. The combination of 2D-DIGE and iTRAQ proteomic approaches, followed by mass spectrometry protein identification, revealed 177 significantly differentially expressed proteins. This kinetic analysis was characterized by a dramatic down-regulation of proteins prior the appearance of the clinical symptoms followed by an increase expression of a large part of these proteins in the acute phase of symptoms. Bioinformatic analysis of the protein dataset allowed to identify major biological processes altered during the time course of CHIKV infection such as integrin signaling and cytoskeleton dynamics, endosome machinery and receptor recycling related to virus transport and synapse function, regulation of gene expression, and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This work gives new information on putative mechanisms that could be associated with severe neurological CHIKV infection-mediated disease. It also describes possible markers or targets that can be used to develop diagnostic and/or antiviral tools.
