Proliferative arrest induces neuron differentiation and innate immune responses in control and infectious CJD rat septal neurons

ABSTRACT: Rat postmitotic septal neurons (SEP) engineered to conditionally proliferate at 33oC were arrested at 37.5oC for weeks without cytotoxic effects. Nine independent cDNA libraries were interrogated to broadly evaluate elevations in b-interferon (b-IFN) and prion protein (PrP) found previously by RT/qPCR in arrested uninfected and CJD infected cells. RNA-seq revealed a variety of upregulated innate immune responses in control and CJD infected cells. Proliferating uninfected, and latently infected (CJ-) cells, showed rare RNA-seq differences. However, major quantitative changes became evident post-arrest. In uninfected cells these included anti-proliferative DNA replication/cell xxNeuregulin-1, GDF6, SFRP4 and PrP. Recruitment of many IFN innate immune pathways, complement, cytokines and clusterin were present in both sets but re-arrested cells with high infectivity (CJ+) escaped replication controls and suppressed neuronal differentiation. Moreover, IFN anti-viral stimulated networks (OAS, cytokines, IFN- and metalloproteinases) were also enhanced among the 342 unique CJ+ transcripts, e.g., Il17, ISG15, CXCL10 and RSAD2 (viperin). These data show 1) defensive innate immune molecules and/or pathways are produced by neurons and participate in normal neuronal differentiation; 2) CJD infectious agents that survive in an undetectable latent state can epigenetically prime cells to produce a strong anti-viral response; 3) downregulation of a plethora of proliferative pathways is also imprinted in cells exposed to infection. Several innate-immune transcripts shared with CJ+ myeloid microglia from brain may be physiologically stimulated to identify latent CJD infections that can be clinically silent for >30 years.

Project description:The major inducible 70 kDa heat shock protein (hsp70) is host protective in a mouse model of measles virus (MeV) brain infection. Transgenic constitutive expression of hsp70 in neurons, the primary target of MeV infection, abrogates neurovirulence in neonatal H-2d congenic C57BL/6 mice. A significant level of protection is retained after depletion of T lymphocytes, implicating innate immune mechanisms. Focus of the present work was to elucidate the basis for hsp70-dependent innate immunity using this model. Transcriptome analysis of brains from transgenic (TG) and non-transgenic (NT) mice 5 days after infection identified type 1 interferon (IFN) signaling and macrophage activation/antigen presentation as the main differences linked to survival. The pivotal role for type 1 IFN in hsp70-mediated protection was demonstrated in mice with a genetically disrupted type 1 IFN receptor (IFNAR-/-), where IFNAR-/- eliminated the difference in survival between TG and NT mice. Brain macrophages, not neurons, are the predominant source of type 1 IFN in the virus-infected brain, and in vitro studies provided a mechanistic basis by which MeV-infected neurons can induce IFN-β in uninfected microglia in an hsp70-dependent manner. MeV infection induced extracellular release of hsp70 from mouse neuronal cells that constitutively express hsp70, and extracellular hsp70 induced IFN-β transcription in mouse microglial cells through Toll-like receptors 2 and 4. Collectively, results support a novel axis of type 1 IFN-dependent antiviral immunity in the virus-infected brain that is driven by hsp70. Hsp70 expression in mice enhances gene expression related to antiviral immune response against MeV neurovirulence. We performed microarrays on whole brain tissues in mice to obtain an unbiased picture of how hsp70 alters host innate responses to viral infection. Hsp70-overexpressing transgenic (TG) and non-transgenic (NT) mice were infected with MeV intracranially, and total brain mRNA harvested at 5 and 10 days post infection (d.p.i.) was analyzed, sampling the hemisphere opposite the side of viral inoculation. Analysis includes 6 groups: infected TG at 5 d.p.i. (n=4), infected TG at 10 d.p.i. (n=5), infected NT at 5 d.p.i. (n=4), infected NT at 10 d.p.i. (n=5), uninfected TG at 5 d.p.i. (n=4), and uninfected NT at 5 d.p.i. (n=4).

Project description:Aguilera 2014 - HIV latency. Interaction between HIV proteins and immune response This model is described in the article: Studying HIV latency by modeling the interaction between HIV proteins and the innate immune response. Aguilera LU, Rodríguez-González J. J. Theor. Biol. 2014 Nov; 360: 67-77 Abstract: HIV infection leads to two cell fates, the viral productive state or viral latency (a reversible non-productive state). HIV latency is relevant because infected active CD4+ T-lymphocytes can reach a resting memory state in which the provirus remains silent for long periods of time. Despite experimental and theoretical efforts, the causal molecular mechanisms responsible for HIV latency are only partially understood. Studies have determined that HIV latency is influenced by the innate immune response carried out by cell restriction factors that inhibit the postintegration steps in the virus replication cycle. In this study, we present a mathematical study that combines deterministic and stochastic approaches to analyze the interactions between HIV proteins and the innate immune response. Using wide ranges of parameter values, we observed the following: (1) a phenomenological description of the viral productive and latent cell phenotypes is obtained by bistable and bimodal dynamics, (2) biochemical noise reduces the probability that an infected cell adopts the latent state, (3) the effects of the innate immune response enhance the HIV latency state, (4) the conditions of the cell before infection affect the latent phenotype, i.e., the existing expression of cell restriction factors propitiates HIV latency, and existing expression of HIV proteins reduces HIV latency.
