Project description:Heldt2012 - Influenza Virus Replication
The model describes the life cycle of influenza A virus in a mammalian cell including the following steps: attachment of parental virions to the cell membrane, receptor-mediated endocytosis, fusion of the virus envelope with the endosomal membrane, nuclear import of vRNPs, viral transcription and replication, translation of the structural viral proteins, nuclear export of progeny vRNPs and budding of new virions. It also explicitly accounts for the stabilization of cRNA by viral polymerases and NP and the inhibition of vRNP activity by M1 protein binding. In short, the model focuses on the molecular mechanism that controls viral transcription and replication.
This model is described in the article:

Abstract:
Influenza viruses transcribe and replicate their negative-sense RNA genome inside the nucleus of host cells via three viral RNA species. In the course of an infection, these RNAs show distinct dynamics, suggesting that differential regulation takes place. To investigate this regulation in a systematic way, we developed a mathematical model of influenza virus infection at the level of a single mammalian cell. It accounts for key steps of the viral life cycle, from virus entry to progeny virion release, while focusing in particular on the molecular mechanisms that control viral transcription and replication. We therefore explicitly consider the nuclear export of viral genome copies (vRNPs) and a recent hypothesis proposing that replicative intermediates (cRNA) are stabilized by the viral polymerase complex and the nucleoprotein (NP). Together, both mechanisms allow the model to capture a variety of published data sets at an unprecedented level of detail. Our findings provide theoretical support for an early regulation of replication by cRNA stabilization. However, they also suggest that the matrix protein 1 (M1) controls viral RNA levels in the late phase of infection as part of its role during the nuclear export of viral genome copies. Moreover, simulations show an accumulation of viral proteins and RNA toward the end of infection, indicating that transport processes or budding limits virion release. Thus, our mathematical model provides an ideal platform for a systematic and quantitative evaluation of influenza virus replication and its complex regulation.
With the current parameter set, the model reproduces an infection at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. Figure 2A of the paper is reproduced here, with parameters kDegRnp and kSynP changed to zeros.
Initial conditions and parameter changes that were used to obtain specific figures in the article can be found in Table A2.
The model has the correct value for kAttLo as 4.55e-04. The value of this parameter mentioned as 4.55e-02 in Table 1 of the paper is incorrect. This is checked with the author.

Project description:The outcome of viral infection is extremely heterogeneous at the cellular level, and infected cells only sometimes activate innate immunity. Here we assess how the genetic variation inherent in viral populations contributes to this heterogeneity. We do this by developing a new approach to determine both the cellular transcriptome and full-length sequences of all viral genes in single influenza-infected cells. Infections that activate an innate-immune response in single cells are associated with viral defects that include amino-acid mutations, internal deletions, and failure to express key genes. However, immune activation remains stochastic in cells infected by virions with these defects, and sometimes occurs even in cells infected by virions that express unmutated copies of all genes. Our work shows that the genetic variation present in influenza virus populations substantially contributes to but does not fully explain the heterogeneity in infection outcome and immune activation in single infected cells.

Project description:Influenza infection is a worldwide health and financial burden posing a significant risk to the immune-compromised, obese, diabetic, elderly, and pediatric populations. We identified increases in glucose metabolism in the lungs of pediatric patients infected with respiratory pathogens. Using quantitative mass spectrometry we found metabolic changes occurring after influenza infection in primary human respiratory cells, and validated infection associate increases in c-Myc, glycolysis, and glutaminolysis. We confirmed these findings with a metabolic drug screen and high throughput titering that identified the PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 as a regulator of infectious virus production. BEZ235 treatment ablated the transient induction of c-Myc, restored PI3K/mTOR pathway homeostasis measured by 4E-BP1 and p85 phosphorylation, and reversed infection-induced changes in glucose and glutamine metabolism. Importantly, BEZ235 reduced infectious progeny but had no effect on viral entry or the early stages of viral replication. In a lethal infection model, BEZ235 significantly increased survival while reducing viral titer and respiratory distress. Here we show metabolic reprogramming of host cells by influenza virus exposes targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Abstract
To orchestrate context-dependent signaling programs poxviruses encode two dual-specificity enzymes, the F10 kinase and the H1 phosphatase. These signaling mediators are essential for poxvirus production, yet their substrate profiles and systems level functions remain enigmatic. Using a phosphoproteomic screen of cells infected with wildtype, F10, and H1 mutant viruses we systematically defined the viral signaling network controlled by these enzymes. Quantitative cross-comparison revealed 33 F10 and/or H1 phosphosites within 17 viral proteins. Using this proteotype dataset to inform genotype-phenotype relationships we found that H1-deficient virions harbor a hidden hyper-cleavage phenotype driven by reversible phosphorylation of the virus protease I7 (S134). Quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling further revealed that the phosphorylation-dependent activity of the viral early transcription factor, A7 (Y367), underlies the transcription-deficient phenotype of H1 mutant virions. Together these results highlight the utility of combining quantitative proteotype screens with mutant viruses to uncover novel proteotype-phenotype-genotype relationships that are masked by classical genetic studies.

Project description:Viral infection is usually studied at the population level by averaging over millions of cells. However, infection at the single-cell level is highly heterogeneous, where most infected cells give rise to none or few viral progeny while some cells produce thousands. Analysis of HSV-1 infection by population averaged measurements has taught us a lot about the course of viral infection, but has also produced contradictory results, such as the concurrent activation and inhibition of type I interferon signaling during infection. Here, we combine live-cell imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize viral and host transcriptional heterogeneity during HSV-1 infection of primary human cells. We find extreme variability in the level of viral gene expression among individually infected cells and show that they cluster into transcriptionally distinct sub-populations. We find that anti-viral signaling is initiated in a rare group of abortively infected cells, while highly infected cells undergo cellular reprogramming to an embryonic-like transcriptional state. This reprogramming includes the re-localization of b-catenin into the host nucleus and viral replication compartments and is required for late viral gene expression and progeny production. These findings uncover the transcriptional differences in cells with variable infection outcomes and shed new light on the manipulation of host pathways by HSV-1.

Project description:Viral infection can dramatically alter a cell's transcriptome. However, these changes have mostly been studied by bulk measurements on many cells. Here we use single-cell mRNA sequencing to examine the transcriptional consequences of influenza virus infection. We find extremely wide cell-to-cell variation in production of viral gene transcripts -- viral transcripts compose less than a percent of total mRNA in many infected cells, but a few cells derive over half their mRNA from virus. Some infected cells fail to express at least one viral gene, and this gene absence partially explains variation in viral transcriptional load. Despite variation in total viral load, the relative abundances of viral mRNAs are fairly consistent across infected cells. Activation of innate immune pathways is rare, but some cellular genes co-vary in abundance with the amount of viral mRNA. Overall, our results highlight the complexity of viral infection at the level of single cells.

Project description:Virus and host factors contribute to cell-to-cell variation in viral infection and determine the outcome of the overall infection. However, the extent of the variability at the single cell level and how it impacts virus-host interactions at a systems level are not well understood. To characterize the dynamics of viral transcription and host responses, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to quantify at multiple time points the host and viral transcriptomes of human A549 cells and primary bronchial epithelial cells infected with influenza A virus. We observed substantial variability of viral transcription between cells, including the accumulation of defective viral genomes (DVGs) that impact viral replication. We show a correlation between DVGs and viral-induced variation of the host transcriptional program and an association between differential induction of innate immune response genes and attenuated viral transcription in subpopulations of cells. These observations at the single cell level improve our understanding of the complex virus-host interplay during influenza infection.

Project description:The influenza virus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet, the impact of intracellular viral invasion and the cellular response diversity remain uncharacterized. By massively parallel single-cell RNA-seq we comprehensively mapped the host lung response to in-vivo influenza infection in wild-type and Irf7-knockout mice across nine immune and non-immune cell types. We found an unexpected high prevalence of infected cells in all cell types, showed that infection is a characteristic property of cell types that is independent of type-I interferon activity, and demonstrated that all cell types responded primarily with a robust generic transcriptional response. Analysis of the viral and host transcriptomes in the same single cell enabled us to resolve the heterogeneity of bystander (exposed but uninfected) as compared to viral-infected cells. Our results highlight novel markers specific for influenza-infected as opposed to bystander cells, opening new avenues for targeted therapy aimed exclusively at infected cells.

Project description:APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F are cell-encoded restriction factors that have evolved to counteract virus infections. When packaged into HIV-1 particles, A3G and A3F impair reverse transcription and induce the hypermutation of viral DNA. We employed a next generation sequencing approach to identify the RNAs that these proteins bind in HIV-1 infected cells and HIV-1 virions. We then analysed the mechanism of packaging of APOBEC3 in detail.
