Project description:Borna Disease Virus (BDV) is a neurotropic virus that persistently infects neurons in the central nervous system of various hosts, including rats. Although BDV is known to be an IFN sensitive virus, determination of the cellular mRNA transcript levels revealed the induction of IFN-stimulated genes in organotypic rat hippocampus slice cultures, raising the question how BDV evades this innate immune response. Using rat Mx protein as a specific marker for IFN-induced gene products, we could show that neurons lack detectable levels of Mx in these BDV infected cultures, whereas astrocytes and microglial cells were Mx positive. Neurons remained Mx negative after treatment of uninfected hippocampus cultures as well as primary dissociated neuronal cultures with high concentrations of IFN-M-NM-1. This non-responsiveness correlated with a lack of a detectable nuclear translocation of pSTAT1 in rat neurons. Consistently, IFN treatment of BDV-infected rat neurons did not prevent the establishment of a viral persistence in the neuronal tissue. However, IFN treatment efficiently prevented vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication, indicating that these cells can mount a weak innate immune response. In contrast, IFN treatment of mouse neurons resulted in the upregulation of Mx1 proteins and inhibition of BDV replication, indicating species-specific differences in the IFN response in neurons between mice and rats. Rat neurons may therefore represent the ideal cell type for BDV to evade the innate immune in the central nervous system. To determine the mRNA levels in the hippocampal slice cultures after BDV infection in Sprague Dawley and Lewis rats Hippocampal slice cultures were prepared from newborn Lewis and SD rats (P0-P2). Half of the samples remained uninfected, whereas the other half was infected with 1000 focus forming units (FFU) of BDV strain He/80. Total RNA from a pool of 12 slice cultures was prepared

Project description:Purpose: Virus infections of the CNS cause important diseases of humans and animals. As in other tissues, innate antiviral responses mediated by type I interferons (IFN) are crucially important in controlling CNS virus infections. Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection of the mouse provides a well-characterised and tractable model to study the pathogenesis of virus encephalitis. The maturity of neuronal populations is an established critical factor determining the outcome of CNS virus infection. Using primary cultures of mouse cortical neurons, we investigated the relationships between neuronal maturation, type I IFN responses and the outcome of SFV infection. Methods: mRNA profiles of immature and mature of primary mouse cortical neurons that were mock or iFNβ treated and mock or SFV infected were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. All 100-base-pair single-end reads were mapped to the reference mouse genome (GRCm38/mm10) using Salmon ultrafast aligner. Mapped reads were quantitated to the gene level estimates and genecount data was imported using the tximport package and differential expression analysis of RNA sequencing data was carried out using the edgeR and limma-voom packages in Bioconductor. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped the 100 bp single end reads to the mouse genome (build mm10) and identified 14,933 genes in the immature and mature primary neurons with different treatments. Transcriptomic profiling revealed 3,666 genes differentially expressed between resting immature and mature cells. Multidimensional scaling plots revealed key differences between immature and mature neurons with different treatments. Immature neurons pre-treated with type I IFN and mock-infected or infected without prior IFN, clustered close to the basal (resting) control samples,indicating limited changes in gene expression under either condition. This was also the case for mature neurons treated with IFNβ. Whereas, immature neurons pre-treated with IFN and then infected, as well as mature neurons pre-treated or not with IFN and then infected underwent more dynamic changes in gene expression Conclusions: Complete transcriptome analysis demonstrated that resting immature neurons lacked the transcriptional competence to mount antiviral responses. They had no detectable transcription of the genes Ddx58 and Ifih1 which encode the key RNA virus cytoplasmic sensors RIG-I and MDA5 and no, or very low, expression of genes encoding key regulators of downstream and associated signalling pathways. Upon infection, immature neurons failed to mount an antiviral response as evidenced by their failure to produce chemokines, IFNs and other cytokines. Treatment of immature neurons with exogenous IFNb prior to infection resulted in antiviral responses and lower levels of virus replication and infectious virus production. In contrast, resting mature neurons expressed Ddx58 and Ifih1 and upon infection generated a robust antiviral response. This was augmented by pre-treatment with IFNb. Infection of mature neurons derived from IFNAR-/- mice did not make an antiviral response and replicated virus to high levels.

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:All major types of interferon (IFN) efficiently inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, HCV replication is not sensitive to IFN? in the hepatoma cell line Huh6, despite an intact signaling pathway. We performed transcriptome analyses between Huh6 and Huh-7 to identify effector genes of the IFN? response and thereby identified the DExD/H box helicase DDX60L as a restriction factor of HCV replication. DDX60L and its homolog DDX60 were both induced upon viral infection and IFN treatment in primary human hepatocytes. However, exclusively DDX60L knockdown increased HCV replication in Huh-7 cells, and rescued HCV replication from type II IFN as well as type I and III IFN treatment, suggesting that DDX60L is an important effector protein of the innate immune response against HCV. DDX60L had no impact on replication of hepatitis A virus (HAV), but severely impaired production of lentiviral vectors, arguing for a potential antiretroviral activity. Detection of endogenous DDX60L protein turned out to be difficult due to instability. DDX60L knockdown did not alter interferon stimulated gene (ISG) induction after IFN treatment, suggesting that it is a direct effector of the innate immune response. It most likely inhibits viral RNA replication, since we found no impact of DDX60L on translation or stability of HCV subgenomic replicons, nor additional impact on entry and assembly of infectious virus. Similar to its homolog DDX60, DDX60L had a moderate impact on retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-dependent activation of innate immunity arguing for additional functions in the sensing of viral RNA. Gene Expression was compared between two cell lines, Huh6 and Huh7, under interferon-gamma or interferon-alpha treatment. We intended to identify genes that are more strongly upregulated in Huh-7 than in Huh6 in response to interferon treatment.

Project description:HIV is able to outpace the innate immune response, including the response mediated by interferon (IFN), to establish a productive infection. However, monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) may be protected from HIV infection by treatment with type I IFN before virus exposure. The ability of HIV to modulate the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response when it encounters a cell that has already been exposed to IFN was investigated.

Project description:<p>We studied a child with life-threatening and recurrent respiratory tract infections, caused by multiple viruses including rhinovirus, influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). We identified in her a homozygous missense mutation in IFIH1 that encodes MDA5 by Whole Exome Sequencing. MDA5-deficiency is a novel inborn error of innate immunity that results in impaired dsRNA-sensing, reduced IFN induction, and susceptibility to the common cold virus.</p>

Project description:Understanding the role of host factors during lethal influenza virus infection is critical to deciphering the events that will determine the fate of the host. One such factor is encoded by the Mx1 gene, which confers resistance to influenza virus infection. Here, we compared pathology and global gene expression profiles in lung tissue from BALB/c (Mx1(-)) and BALB•A2G-Mx1 mice (Mx1(+/+)) infected with the fully reconstructed 1918 pandemic influenza virus with an without interferon-alpha pretreatment. Mx1(+/+) mice showed less tissue damage than Mx(-) animals, and pathology and mortality were further reduced by treating the mice with interferon prior to infection. The goal of the global transcriptional profiling was to identify distinct molecular signatures associated with partial protection, complete protection, and the contribution of interferon to the host response. BALB/c mice carrying a defective allele of the Mx1 resistance gene or congenic Balb.A2G-Mx1 mice carrying the functional Mx1 allele. Half of the animals in each group were intranasally treated with 10,000 units of recombinant human IFN-α A/D (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Animals were anesthetized by IP injection and inoculated intranasally with 3.2 × 10^5 PFU (One hundred times 50% lethal dose (LD50)) of the reconstructed 1918 infectious virus diluted in 50 μl phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or mock infected with PBS. To assess gene expression in response to r1918 virus with and without IFN treatment, lungs were harvested at 12hr, 24hr, and 72hr post-innoculation (n=3 per group at each time point). To assess gene expression in the context of IFN treatment only, lungs were harvested at 8h and 24hr post-treatment (n=3 per group at each time point). To assess gene expression without IFN or virus infection, lungs were harvested from mock-infected animals at 12h, 24h and 72hr from both Balb/c (n=2 per at each time point) and Mx1+/+ (n=3 at each time point).
