Genome-wide Screening Identifies Unique Host-Directed Drugs and Pro-viral Signalling Pathways for SARS-CoV-2

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense RNA virus that was responsible for the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. Although the current disease burden is less severe, there are limited treatment options, and a looming threat of the emergence of variants and future pandemics. To address these challenges, we performed genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens in a novel human lung cell line NCI-H23ACE2, as well as in HEK293TACE2 cells, with SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan strain, and identified several host-dependency factors including NRAS, KAT5, HTR3E and GNL3L. Drugs targeting some of these dependency factors, donepezil, dH-ergocristine, trametinib and sorafenib, showed effective pan-coronaviral inhibition in cell lines. Trametinib also showed inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in primary human airway tissue model (ALI). We also demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 inhibits IFN-β induction through an NRAS/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway dependent mechanism. Our study highlights the efficiency of a bilateral approach of gene silencing and antiviral screening to identify host-dependency factors and effective antivirals.

Pseudoknot RNA degraders – directed and irreversible degradation of SARS-CoV-2 genome as an antiviral strategy

Project description:We demonstrate that the pseudoknot binder MTDB selectively degrades coronaviral pseudoknots in vitro, in cells and in a SARS-CoV-2 infection mouse model, which means it has great potential to be used as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic.

RNA sequencing of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 N proteins expressing cell lines

Project description:SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the causative agents of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are genetically related positive-sense RNA viruses that may cause similar pathophysiology. Despite host could activate interferon responses upon coronaviral infection to suppress virus replication, both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have evolved strategies to inhibit interferon response. Here, we constructed SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 N proteins expressing cell lines (HEK293T-N and HEK293T-2N) and performed RNA sequencing analysis, showing that both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV N proteins could inhibit expression of early growth response gene 1 (EGR1) to suppress interferon response. Moreover, EGR1 could degrade N proteins of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 in a lysosome-dependent manner, and inhibit viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings revealed the important role of EGR1 in host innate immune response against SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, which would contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of human coronaviruses and development of antiviral therapies. In addition, we demonstrated that both N proteins could upregulate expression of nervous development-related genes, which may be associated with the neurological symptoms of COVID-19 and SARS patients.

Systematic genome-scale identification of host factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection across models yields a core single gene dependency; ACE2

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 depends on host cell components for replication, therefore the identification of virus-host dependencies offers an effective way to elucidate mechanisms involved in viral infection. Such host factors may be necessary for infection and replication of SARS-CoV-2 and, if druggable, presents an attractive strategy for anti-viral therapy. We performed genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens in Vero E6 cells and 4 human cell lines including Calu-3, Caco-2, Hek293 and Huh7 to identify genetic regulators of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our findings identified only ACE2, the cognate SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor, as a common host dependency factor across all cell lines, while all other host genes identified were cell line-specific, including known factors TMPRSS2 and CTSL. Several of the discovered host-dependency factors converged on pathways involved in cell signalling, lipid metabolism, immune pathways and chromatin modulation. Notably, chromatin modulator genes KMT2C and KDM6A in Calu-3 cells had the strongest impact in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection when perturbed. Overall, the network of host factors that have been identified will be broadly applicable to understanding the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on human cells and facilitate the development of host-directed therapies.

Gene expression profiling of HBEpCs and Caco-2 cells during infection with WT SARS-CoV-2 or a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 deficient in PLpro deISGylation activity

Project description:Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) regulates diverse cellular processes, including antiviral immunity, through its conjugation to proteins, a process known as ISGylation. Several pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, subvert ISGylation by encoding deISGylating enzymes. However, the direct targets and physiological consequences of coronaviral deISGylation remain poorly defined. Here, we engineered a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 harboring a mutant Nsp3 (Nsp3mut) with impaired papain-like protease (PLpro) deISGylating activity. Caco-2 and human bronchial epithelial (HBEpC) cells were infected with either wild-type or Nsp3mut SARS-CoV-2. Comparative transcriptomic profiling revealed that Nsp3mut infection led to a stronger induction of IFN- and ISG-related gene signatures compared to wild-type virus infection in both cell types. These results show that loss of PLpro-mediated deISGylation restores efficient antiviral innate immune responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Profile of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus whose success as a pathogen relies on its ability to repurpose host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to form its own RNA interactome. Here, we developed and applied a robust ribonucleoprotein capture protocol to uncover the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome. We report 109 host factors that directly bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNAs including general antiviral factors such as ZC3HAV1, TRIM25, and PARP12. Applying RNP capture on another coronavirus HCoV-OC43 revealed evolutionarily conserved interactions between viral RNAs and host proteins. Network and transcriptome analyses delineated antiviral RBPs stimulated by JAK-STAT signaling and proviral RBPs responsible for hijacking multiple steps of the mRNA life cycle. By knockdown experiments, we further found that these viral-RNA-interacting RBPs act against or in favor of SARS-CoV-2. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive list of RBPs regulating coronaviral replication and opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions.

Transcriptional response to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Viral pandemics pose an imminent threat to humanity. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, requires the urgent development of anti-viral therapies. Because of its recent emergence, there is a paucity of information regarding viral behavior and host response following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we offer an in-depth analysis of the host response to SARS-CoV-2 as it compares to other respiratory infections. Cell and animal models of SARS-CoV-2 infections, in addition to transcriptional profiling of a COVID-19 lung biopsy consistently revealed a unique and inappropriate inflammatory response defined by elevated chemokine expression in the absence of Type I and III interferons. Our identification of a muted transcriptional response to SARS-CoV-2 supports a model in which initial failure to rapidly respond to infection results in prolonged viral replication and an influx of proinflammatory cells that induce alveolar damage and manifest in COVID-19 lung pathology.
