Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of brain Transcriptome after viral infection with ZIKV (Zika Virus)

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to understand ZIKV induced immune responses in the developing brain at genome-wide level. Methods: Total RNA was isolated from E17.5 mouse brains after viral infection at E14.5. After genomic DNA and ribosomal RNA removal, fractionated RNA were subjected to strand-specific library preparation using NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit. Sequencing was performed on Nextseq500 (Illumina). The sequencing reads that passed quality filters were analyzed with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: After performed Gene Ontology analyses with RNA-seq data, our results revealed a set of genes that are associated with the immune response and apoptosis pathways. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) further show significant enrichments on both the immune system response and apoptosis pathways. Some of these results were also verified with qRT-PCR. Conclusions: Our results suggest that ZIKV infection triggers an aggressive immune response, which has the potential to cause exacerbation of brain damage by enhancing neuronal death and generating vascular abnormalities. Our discovery of massive neuronal death, leaky blood-brain-barrier (BBB), and astrogliosis in ZIKV infected brains is the first study to suggest that ZIKA causes extensive brain damage.

Integrative systems biology characterizes immune-mediated neurodevelopmental changes in murine Zika Virus microcephaly

Project description:A new mouse model for congenital Zika infection in a wildtype, immunocompetent background employing intraplacental infection resulted in productive infection of embryonic brains and features of microcephaly during early development (E10.5-16.5). Gross morphological characterization showed translational relevance for understanding the viral neuropathogenesis and Zika-associated microcephaly in humans. Thus, an integrated, multi-omics (RNA-sequencing, proteomics) analysis of fetal brain tissues was performed to understand pathways perturbed by viral infection in developing brains. These analyses identified virus-induced defects in cell cycle progression and neurodevelopment, in S-phase DNA replication and NEUROD2/TBR2 transcription factor cascades, respectively. Among the most significant responses was induction of innate immune programs in ZIKV-infected brains, including immunoproteasome activation and MHC-I antigen display associated with immune cell infiltration and neuronal death during early development. Identification of specific components within major pathways contributing to viral infection-induced effects on neurodevelopment provides novel targets for therapeutic intervention against neurotropic infections and ZIKV-associated microcephaly specifically.

ZIKV infection of human neurospheres

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with microcephaly and other brain abnormalities; however, the molecular consequences of ZIKV to human brain development are still not fully understood. Here we describe alterations in human neurospheres derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells infected with the strain of Zika virus that is circulating in Brazil. Combining proteomics and mRNA transcriptional profiling, over 500 proteins and genes associated with the Brazilian ZIKV infection were found to be differentially expressed. These genes and proteins provide an interactome map, which indicates that ZIKV controls the expression of RNA processing bodies, miRNA biogenesis and splicing factors required for self-replication. It also suggests that impairments in the molecular pathways underpinning cell cycle and neuronal differentiation are caused by ZIKV. These results point to biological mechanisms implicated in brain malformations, which are important to further the understanding of ZIKV infection and can be exploited as therapeutic potential targets to mitigate it.

Aberrant NAD+ metabolism underlies Zika virus-induced microcephaly

Project description:ZIKV-infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly in newborns, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we reveal extensive and large-scale metabolic reprogramming events in ZIKV-infected mouse brains. We perform a multi-omics study comprising transcriptomics, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics approaches on the brains from ZIKV-infected mice. Our proteomics and metabolomics analyses uncover dramatic alteration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-related metabolic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation, TCA cycle, and tryptophan metabolism. Phosphoproteomics analysis indicates that MAPK and cGMP-PKG signalling may be associated with ZIKV-induced microcephaly. Importantly, we demonstrate the utility of our rich multi-omics datasets with follow-up in vivo experiments which confirm that boosting NAD+ by NAD+ or NR supplementation alleviates cell death and increases cortex thickness in ZIKV-infected mouse brains. NR supplementation increases the brain and body weight as well as improves the survival in ZIKV-infected mice. Our study provides a comprehensive resource of biological data to support future investigations of ZIKV-induced microcephaly, and demonstrates that metabolic alterations can be potentially exploited for developing therapeutic strategies.

Discovery of Drug Candidates that Inhibit and Eliminate Zika Virus Infection in Fetal and Adult Brain

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infects fetal and adult human brains, and is associated with serious neurological complications including microcephaly and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). To date, no prophylactic or therapeutic treatment is available to prevent or treat ZIKV infection. Here, we performed a high content chemical screen using a library containing FDA-approved drugs or drug candidates. Two compounds, hippeastrine hydrobromide (HH) and amodiaquine dihydrochloride dihydrate (AQ), were discovered to inhibit ZIKV infection in human cortical neuron progenitor cells (hNPCs). HH was further validated to inhibit ZIKV infection and to rescue ZIKV-induced growth and differentiation defects in hNPCs and human fetal-like forebrain organoids. Finally, HH and AQ suppressed ZIKV infection in adult mouse brain in vivo. Strikingly, HH and AQ fully rescued the severe limb paralysis syndrome developed in ZIKV infected adult mice. This study identifies drug candidates for treatment of ZIKV infection and ZIKV-related neurological complications in fetal and adult patients.

Transcriptomic reveals the ferroptosis features of host response in a mouse model of Zika virus infection

Project description:Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic flavivirus. The outbreak of ZIKV in 2016 created a global health emergency. However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Methods: We investigated the host response features of in vivo replication in a mouse model of ZIKV infection, by performing a series of transcriptomic and bioinformatic analyses of ZIKV and mock-infected brain tissue. Results: Tissue damage, inflammatory cells infiltration and high viral replication were observed in the brain tissue of ZIKV infected mice. RNA-Seq of the brain indicated the activation of ferroptosis pathways. Enrichment analysis of ferroptosis regulators revealed their involvement in pathways such as mineral absorption, fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid degradation, PPAR signaling pathway, peroxidase and adipokinesine signalling pathway. We then identified 12 interacted hub ferroptosis regulators (CYBB, HMOX1, CP, SAT1, TF, SLC39A14, FTL, LPCAT3, FTH1, SLC3A2, TP53 and SLC40A1) that were related to the differential expression of CD8+ T cells, microglia and monocytes. CYBB, HMOX1, SALT and SLAC40A1 were selected as potential biomarkers of ZIKV infection. Finally, we validated our results using RT-qPCR and outside available datasets. Conclusions: For the first time, we proposed a possible mechanism of ferroptosis in brain tissue infected by ZIKV in mice and identified the four key ferroptosis regulators.

Single substitution in H3.3G34 alters DNMT3A recruitment to cause progressive neurodegeneration [WGBS]

Project description:De novo germline histone H3.3 amino acid substitutions, including H3.3G34R/V, cause severe neurodevelopmental syndromes. To understand how these mutations impact brain development, we generated heterozygous H3.3G34R/V/W direct knock-in mutant mice and identified strikingly distinct developmental defects for each amino acid substitution. H3.3G34R-mutant mice uniquely exhibited progressive microcephaly and neurodegeneration, associated with abnormal accumulation of damage-associated microglia and astrocytes, and concurrent neuronal depletion in postnatal brains. On the mutant H3.3 tail, G34R severely decreased H3K36me2, impairing recruitment of DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A and promoting its redistribution on chromatin. This results in loss of CH methylation at complement and other innate immune genes promoting their sustained expression, and, aberrant CG methylation at neuronal gene promoters and undue silencing. Persistent complement expression in G34R neurons led to excessive synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, and neuronal damage accounting for progressive neurodegeneration. Our study reveals H3.3G34-substitutions have differential impact on chromatin, which underlie the diverse phenotypes observed. Notably, we uncover unappreciated roles for H3K36me2 and DNMT3A-dependent CH-methylation in modulating pruning and neuroinflammation in post-natal brains.
