Pharmacological inhibition of bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins induces NRF-2-mediated inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication and is subject to viral antagonism [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Inhibitors of bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (iBETs), including JQ-1, have been suggested as potential therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, molecular mechanisms underlying JQ-1-induced antiviral activity and its susceptibility to viral antagonism remain incompletely understood. iBET treatment transiently inhibited infection by SARS-CoV-2 variants and SARS-CoV, but not MERS-CoV. Our functional assays confirmed JQ-1-mediated downregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression and multi-omics analysis uncovered induction of an antiviral NRF-2-mediated cytoprotective response as an additional antiviral component of JQ-1 treatment. Serial passaging of SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of JQ-1 resulted in predominance of ORF6-deficient variants. JQ-1 antiviral activity was transient in human bronchial airway epithelial cells (hBAECs) treated prior to infection and absent when administered therapeutically. We propose that JQ-1 exerts pleiotropic effects that collectively induce a transient antiviral state that is ultimately nullified by an established SARS-CoV-2 infection, raising questions about the clinical suitability of iBETs in the context of COVID-19.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 and its variant polymorphisms on host responses and viral pathogenesis

Project description:We and others have previously shown that the SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF6 is a powerful antagonist of the interferon signaling pathway by directly interacting with the Nup98-Rae1 complex at the nuclear pore, and disrupting bi-directional nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking. In this study, we further assessed the role of ORF6 during infection using recombinant SARS-CoV-2 viruses carrying either a deletion or a well characterized M58R loss-of-function mutation in ORF6. We unambiguously show that ORF6 plays a key non-redundant role in the antagonism of IFN signaling by interfering with karyopherin-mediated nuclear import during SARS-CoV-2 infection both in vitro, and in the Syrian hamster model in vivo. In addition, we found that by contributing to the inhibition of cellular mRNA export, ORF6 expression significantly remodels the host cell proteome upon infection. Importantly, we also unravel a previously unrecognized function of ORF6 in the modulation of viral protein expression, which is independent of its function at the nuclear pore. Lastly, we characterized the ORF6 D61L mutation that recently emerged in Omicron BA.2 and BA.4 subvariants and demonstrated that it is able to disrupt ORF6 protein functions at the NPC and to impair SARS-CoV-2 innate immune evasion strategies. Altogether, our findings not only further highlight the key role of ORF6 in the antagonism of the antiviral innate immune response, but also emphasize the importance of studying the role of non-spike mutations to better understand the mechanisms governing differential pathogenicity and immune evasion strategies of SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-CoV-2 Orf6 hijacks Nup98 to block STAT nuclear import and antagonize interferon signaling

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that is a serious global health threat. Evasion of interferon-mediated antiviral signaling is a common defense strategy that pathogenic viruses use to replicate and propagate in their host. In this study, we show that SARS-CoV-2 is able to efficiently block STAT1 and STAT2 nuclear translocation in order to impair transcriptional induction of interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs). Our results demonstrate that the viral accessory protein Orf6 exerts this anti-IFN activity. We found that SARS-CoV-2 Orf6 localizes at the nuclear pore complex (NPC) where it directly interacts with Nup98-Rae1 via its C-terminal domain to impair docking of cargo-receptor complexes and disrupt nuclear import functions. In addition, we show that a methionine-to-arginine substitution at residue 58 impairs Orf6 binding to the Nup98-Rae1 complex and abolishes its IFN antagonistic function. All together our data unravel a new mechanism of viral antagonism in which a virus hijacks the Nup98-Rae1 complex to overcome the antiviral action of IFN.

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.

Prior influenza infection mitigates SARS-CoV-2 disease in Syrian hamsters

Project description:Seasonal infection rates of individual viruses are influenced by synergistic or inhibitory interactions between coincident viruses. Endemic patterns of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza infection overlap seasonally in the Northern hemisphere and may be similarly influenced. We explored the immunopathologic basis of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A (H1N1) interactions in Syrian hamsters. H1N1 given 48 hours prior to SARS-CoV-2 profoundly mitigated weight loss and lung pathology compared to SARS-CoV-2 infection alone. This was accompanied by normalization of granulocyte dynamics and accelerated antigen presenting populations in bronchoalveolar lavage and blood. Using nasal transcriptomics, we identified rapid upregulation of innate and antiviral pathways induced by H1N1 by the time of SARS-CoV-2 inoculation in 48 hour dual infected animals. Dual infected animals also experienced significant transient downregulation of mitochondrial and viral replication pathways. By quantitative RT-PCR, we confirmed reduced SARS-CoV-2 viral load and lower cytokine levels throughout disease course in lung of dual infected animals. Our data confirm that H1N1 infection induces rapid and transient gene expression that is associated with mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary disease. These protective responses are likely to begin in the upper respiratory tract shortly after infection. On a population level, interaction between these two viruses may influence their relative seasonal infection rates.

Distinct mechanisms for TMPRSS2 expression explain organ-specific inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by enzalutamide [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly become a global public health threat due to the lack of effective drugs or vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. The efficacy of several repurposed drugs has been evaluated in clinical trials. Among these drugs, a second second-generation antiandrogen agent, enzalutamide, was proposed because it reduces the expression of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), a key component mediating SARS-CoV-2-driven entry into host cells, in prostate cancer cells. However, definitive evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of enzalutamide in COVID-19 is lacking. Here, we evaluated the antiviral efficacy of enzalutamide in prostate cancer cells, lung cancer cells, human lung organoids and SARS-CoV-2-infected Ad-ACE2-transduced Tmprss2 knockout (Tmprss2-KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. TMPRSS2 knockout significantly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo. Enzalutamide effectively inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in human prostate cells, however, such antiviral efficacy of enzalutamide was lacking in human lung cells and organoids. Although Tmprss2 knockout effectively blocked SARS-CoV-2 infection in ACE2-transduced mice, Accordingly, enzalutamide showed no antiviral activity due to the AR-independent TMPRSS2 expression in mouse and human lung epithelial cells. Moreover, we observed distinct AR binding patterns between prostate cells and lung cells and a lack of direct binding of AR to TMPRSS2 in human lung cells. Thus, our findings do not support the postulated protective role of enzalutamide in treating COVID-19 through reducing TMPRSS2 expression in lung cells.

A Single Intranasal Vaccination with a Rationally Attenuated SARS-CoV-2 Elicits Strong Humoral Immune Response and Is Protective in Syrian Hamsters

Project description:Very few live attenuated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines are currently in pre-clinical or clinical development. We rationally attenuated SARS-CoV-2 (isolate WA1/2020) by removing the polybasic cleavage site within the spike protein and the open reading frames (ORFs) 6-8, and by introducing a pair of mutations into the non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1). The derived virus (WA1-DPRRA-ORF6-8-Nsp1K164A/H165A) became severely attenuated in both the K18-human ACE2 (hACE2) transgenic mice and in Syrian hamsters. Transcriptomic profiling of nasal turbinates and lung tissues of infected Syrian hamsters confirmed that WA1-DPRRA-ORF6-8-Nsp1K164A/H165A attenuated the upregulation of proinflammatory pathways. A single intranasal immunization of just 100 PFU of the WA1-DPRRA-ORF6-8-Nsp1K164A/H165A elicited binding and neutralizing antibody responses in Syrian hamsters and completely protected against SARS-CoV-2-induced weight loss and pneumonia. These data demonstrate the feasibility of rational attenuation of SARS-CoV-2. WA1-DPRRA-ORF6-8-Nsp1K164A/H165A represents a promising live attenuated vaccine candidate.

Global analysis of protein-RNA interactions in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells reveals key regulators of infection

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 relies on cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to replicate and spread, although which RBPs control SARS-CoV-2 infection remains largely unknown. Here, we employ a multi-omic approach to identify systematically and comprehensively which cellular and viral RBPs are involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection. We reveal that the cellular RNA-bound proteome is remodelled upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, having widespread effects on RNA metabolic pathways, non-canonical RBPs and antiviral factors. Moreover, we apply a new method to identify the proteins that directly interact with viral RNA, uncovering dozens of cellular RBPs and six viral proteins. Amongst them, several components of the tRNA ligase complex, which we show regulate SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, we discover that available drugs targeting host RBPs that interact with SARS-CoV-2 RNA inhibit infection. Collectively, our results uncover a new universe of host-virus interactions with potential for new antiviral therapies against COVID-19.
