TMEM259 alleles modulate respiratory syncytial virus infection and ER-stress-triggered apoptosis

ABSTRACT: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a main cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Susceptibility factors for severe RSV bronchiolitis in previously healthy children are unclear. We analyze genetic variants in 5,141 genes involved in virus sensing, interferon (IFN) signaling and effector functions in a population of n=101 previously healthy infants with severe RSV bronchiolitis. Comparing allele frequencies of the patient cohort with the exome aggregation consortium dataset (ExAC) our analysis reveals 94 non-synonymous coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to 79 potential risk genes. Follow up of genes expressed in human lung cells show that TMEM259 (also known as membralin), a protein involved in regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and neuronal cell survival, restricts RSV infection. Analysis of engineered human airway cells endogenously expressing the TMEM259 major allele or the rs77868901 minor variant shows allele-dependent modulation of RSV infection and ER-stress induced apoptosis, but not IFN activity nor induction of IFN stimulated genes. TMEM259 abundance and polymorphisms modulate RSV infection likely by modulating the ER stress response and apoptosis. This data may aid future risk stratification and development of prevention and treatment strategies for RSV.

Activation of STAT3-mediated ciliated cell survival protects against severe infection by respiratory syncytial virus

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) selectively targets ciliated cells in human bronchial epithelium and can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia mostly in infants. To identify molecular targets of intervention during RSV infection in infants, we investigate how age regulates RSV interaction with the bronchial epithelium barrier. Employing precision-cut lung slices and air-liquid interface cultures generated from infant and adult human donors, we found robust RSV virus spread and extensive apoptotic cell death only in infant bronchial epithelium. In contrast, adult bronchial epithelium showed insignificant barrier damage and limited RSV infection. Single nuclear RNA-sequencing revealed age-related insufficiency of an anti-apoptotic STAT3 activation response to RSV infection in infant ciliated cells, which was exploited to facilitate virus spread via the extruded apoptotic ciliated cells carrying RSV. Activation of STAT3 and blockade of apoptosis rendered protection against severe RSV infection in infant bronchial epithelium. Lastly, apoptotic inhibitor treatment of a neonatal mouse model of RSV infection ameliorated infection and inflammation in the lung. Taken together, our findings identify a STAT3-mediated anti-apoptosis pathway as a target to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

TGF-beta treated airway epithelium

Project description:Despite being exposed to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection multiple times in our lives, infants, older-adults, and immunocompromised patients are vulnerable to RSV-associated severe diseases, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Respiratory viral infections are known to promote pulmonary fibrosis formation, which are often associated with a cellular remodeling process epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, there is no information on whether RSV causes EMT in bronchial epithelial cells. Our results suggest that RSV-infection does not induce EMT in three different in vitro lung models: epithelial A549 cell line, primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells, and pseudostratified airway epithelium. Interestingly, RSV infection increased cell surface area and perimeter in the infected airway epithelium, which is distinct from the TGF-β1 driven cell elongation. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis also revealed that RSV infection is not involved in cell motility and locomotion. Thus, our results suggest that RSV infection does not induce EMT in the airway epithelium

Single-cell temporal characterization of RSV infection

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a prevalent pathogen globally, can cause severe disease in older adults, and remains the leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in the United States for children during their first year of life. Despite its prevalence worldwide, RSV specific pharmacologic interventions remain unavailable for most infected patients. Although vaccines are available for a subset of adults, further investigation of the molecular interactions between RSV and the host remains essential to understanding this prolific pathogen. To aid our understanding of the host response in both RSV infected cells, and uninfected bystanders, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing.

Blood mRNA profiling to support prognosis of disease severity in respiratory syncytial virus infected infants

Project description:In this study we investigated whether there exists a genomic signature that can accurately predict the course of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in hospitalized young infants. We used early blood microarray transcriptome profiles from 39 infants that were followed until recovery and of which the level of disease severity was determined retrospectively. Applying support vector machine learning on age by sex standardized transcriptomic data, an 84 gene signature was identified that discriminated hospitalized infants with eventually less severe RSV infection from infants that suffered from most severe RSV disease.

An Unexpected Encounter: Respiratory Syncytial Virus Non-Structural Protein 1 Interacts With Mediator Subunit MED25

Project description:Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants worldwide. Non-structural protein NS1 of RSV modulates the host innate immune response by acting as an antagonist of type I and type III interferon (IFN) production and signaling in multiple ways. It is likely that NS1 performs this function by interacting with different host proteins. In order to obtain a comprehensive overview of NS1 interaction partners, we performed three complementary protein-protein interaction screens i.e. BioID, MAPPIT and KISS. The BioID proximity screen was performed during an RSV infection in A549 cells. MED25, a subunit of the Mediator complex, was identified in all 3 performed screening methods as a potential NS1 interacting protein. We confirmed the interaction between MED25 and RSV NS1 by co-immunoprecipitation, not only upon overexpression of NS1, but also with endogenous NS1 during RSV infection. We also demonstrate that the replication of RSV is enhanced in MED25 knockout A549 cells, suggesting a potential antiviral role of MED25 during RSV infection. Mediator subunits function as transcriptional coactivators and are involved in transcriptional regulation of their target genes. Therefore, the interaction between RSV NS1 and cellular MED25 might be beneficial during an RSV infection as this can affect host transcription and the host immune response to infection.

Double-Stranded RNA-Activated Protein Kinase Regulates early innate immune responses during RSV Infection

Project description:Respiratory Syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of childhood viral bronchiolitis and lung injury. Inflammatory responses significantly contribute to lung pathologies during RSV infections and bronchiolitis but the exact mechanisms have not been completely defined. The double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) functions to inhibit viral replication and participates in several signaling pathways associated with innate inflammatory immune responses. Using a functionally defective PKR (PKR-/-) mouse model, we investigated the role of this kinase in early events of RSV-induced inflammation. Our data showed that bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of infected PKR-/- mice had significantly lower levels of several innate inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Histological examinations revealed that there was less lung injury in infected PKR-/- mice as compared to the wild type. A genome-wide analysis showed that several early anti viral and immune regulatory genes were affected by PKR activation. These data suggest that PKR is a signaling molecule for immune responses during RSV infections.

Olfactomedin 4 serves as a marker for disease severity in pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection

Project description:Respiratory viral infections follow an unpredictable clinical course in young children ranging from a common cold to respiratory failure. The transition from mild to severe disease occurs rapidly and is difficult to predict. The pathophysiology underlying disease severity has remained elusive. There is an urgent need to better understand the immune response in this disease to come up with biomarkers that may aid clinical decision making. In a prospective study, flow cytometric and genome-wide gene expression analyses were performed on blood samples of 26 children with a diagnosis of severe, moderate or mild Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection. Differentially expressed genes were validated using Q-PCR in a second cohort of 80 children during three consecutive winter seasons. FACS analyses were also performed in the second cohort and on recovery samples of severe cases in the first cohort. Severe RSV infection was associated with a transient but marked decrease in CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and NK cells in peripheral blood. Gene expression analyses in both cohorts identified Olfactomedin4 (OLFM4) as a fully discriminative marker between children with mild and severe RSV infection, giving a PAM cross-validation error of 0%. Patients with an OLFM4 gene expression level above -7.5 were 6 times more likely to develop severe disease, after correction for age at hospitalization and gestational age. In conclusion, by combining genome-wide expression profiling of blood cell subsets with clinically well-annotated samples, OLFM4 was identified as a biomarker for severity of pediatric RSV infection. Samples were taken of 26 patients with acute RSV infections, divided into mild (n=9), moderate (n=9) and severe (n=8) disease. From moderate and severe diseased patients recovery samples were obtained as well.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe disease mostly in infants; however, mechanisms of age association remain elusive. Here, employing human bronchial epithelium models generated from tracheal aspirate-derived basal stem cells of neonates and adults, we investigate whether age regulates RSV-epithelium interaction to determine disease severity. We show that following RSV infection, only neonatal epithelium model exhibits cytopathy and mucus hyperplasia, and neonatal epithelium has more robust viral spread and inflammatory responses than adult epithelium. Mechanistically, RSV-infected neonatal ciliated cells display age-related impairment of STAT3 activation, rendering susceptibility to apoptosis, which facilitates viral spread. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection of ciliated cells has no effect on STAT3 activation and is not affected by age. Taken together, our findings identify an age-related and RSV-specific interaction with neonatal bronchial epithelium that critically contributes to severity of infection, and STAT3 activation offers a potential strategy to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

Human iPS cell-derived respiratory organoids as a model for respiratory syncytial virus infection

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a seasonal respiratory pathogen that primarily affects young children, potentially causing severe lower respiratory tract disease. Despite the high disease burden, understanding of RSV pathophysiology remains limited. To address this, advanced RSV infection models are needed. While HEp-2 cells are widely used due to their high susceptibility to RSV, they do not accurately reflect the host response of the human respiratory tract. In this study, we evaluated human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived respiratory organoids, which contain respiratory epithelial cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells, for their potential to model RSV infection and support pharmaceutical research. RSV-infected organoids exhibited high viral genome and protein expression, epithelial layer destruction, and increased collagen accumulation. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in culture supernatants also increased post-infection. Furthermore, RSV infection was significantly inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (nirsevimab, palivizumab, suptavumab, or clesrovimab), while ribavirin showed limited efficacy. These findings highlight the utility of respiratory organoids for RSV research.
