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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

LC-MS/MS - NS-NE - Zika Virus Impairs Neurogenesis and Synaptogenesis Pathways in Human Neural Stem Cells and Neurons

Project description:Growing evidences have associated Zika virus infection with congenital malformations, including microcephaly. Nonetheless, signaling mechanisms that promote the disease outcome are far from being understood, affecting the development of suitable therapeutics. In this study, we applied shotgun mass spectrometry-based proteomics combined with cell biology approaches to characterize altered molecular pathways on neurons and NPCs infected by ZIKV-BR, strain obtained from the 2015 Brazilian outbreak. Assessment of neurons differentiated from iPSC from different donors shows the importance of the host genetic background to the susceptibility of ZIKV infection, also confirmed by cytokine fingerprinting. Additionally, infected cells presented an impairment of neurogenesis and synaptogenesis processes. Moreover, ZIKV-BR infected NPCs showed unique alteration of pathways involved in neurological diseases, cell death and survival and embryonic development compared to ZIKV-AF, showing a human adaptation of the Brazilian viral strain. Taken together, these data explain CNS developmental arrest observed in Congenital Zika Virus syndrome is beyond neuronal cell death.

A key residue in the precursor region of M protein contributes to the neurovirulence and neuroinvasiveness of the African lineage of Zika virus

Project description:The Zika virus (ZIKV) represents an important global health threat due to its unusual association with congenital Zika syndrome. ZIKV strains are phylogenetically grouped into the African and Asian lineages. However, the viral determinants underlying the phenotypic differences between the lineages remain unknown. Here, multiple sequence alignment revealed a highly conserved residue at position 21 of the pre-membrane (prM) protein, which is glutamic acid and lysine in the Asian and African lineages, respectively. Using reverse genetics, we generated a recombinant virus carrying an E21K mutation based on the genomic backbone of the Asian lineage strain FSS13025 (termed E21K). The E21K mutation significantly increased viral replication in multiple neural cells lines with a higher ratio of M to prM production. Animal studies showed E21K exhibited increased neurovirulence in suckling mice, leading to more severe defects in mouse brains through causing more neural cell death and destruction of the hippocampus integrity. Moreover, the E21K substitution enhanced neuroinvasiveness in interferon (IFN) α/β receptor knockout mice, as indicated by the increased mortality, enhanced replication in mouse brains. The global transcriptional analysis showed E21K infection profoundly altered neuron development networks and induced stronger antiviral immune response than WT in both neural cells and mouse brains. More importantly, the reverse K21E mutation based on the genomic backbone of the African strain MR766 caused less mouse neurovirulence. Overall, our findings support the 21st residue of prM functions as a determinant for neurovirulence and neuroinvasiveness of the African lineage of ZIKV.

Molecular Signatures Associated with ZIKV Exposure in Human Cortical Neural Progenitors and Astrocytes

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes microcephaly and has been linked to other brain abnormalities. How ZIKV impairs brain development and function remains elusive. Here we systematically profiled transcriptomes of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and astrocytes exposed to Asian ZIKVC, African ZIKVM, and Dengue virus (DENV). DENV causes distinct gene expression changes; and ZIKV has a broader impact on the expression of gene involved in DNA replication and repair. While overall expression profiles are similar, ZIKVC, but not ZIKVM, induces upregulation of viral response genes. Upon ZIKV infection, astrocytes exhibit more prominent transcriptome changes than hNPCs, particularly enriching genes related to inflammatory response and cytokine production pathways. Our analyses reveal cell-type- and strain-specific molecular signatures associated with ZIKV infection, and identify astrocytes as a major direct target of ZIKV. Further investigation of ZIKV-host interactions based our transcriptomic datasets may help to illuminate neural virulence determinants of ZIKV in patients.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the diversity of the immunological landscape in response to murine coronavirus infection of the central nervous system

Project description:Intracranial (i.c.) infection of susceptible C57BL/6 mice with a neurotropic JHM strain mouse hepatitis virus (a member of the Coronaviridae family) results in acute encephalomyelitis and viral persistence associated with an immune-mediated demyelinating disease. The present study was undertaken to better understand the molecular pathways evoked during innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the chronic demyelinating stage of disease in response to JHMV infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Using single cell RNA sequencing analysis (scRNAseq) on flow-sorted CD45-positive cells (CD45+) enriched from brains and spinal cords of experimental mice, we demonstrate the heterogeneity of the immune response as determined by unique molecular signatures and pathways involved in effective anti-viral host defense. Furthermore, we identify potential genes involved in contributing to demyelination as well as remyelination being expressed by both microglia and macrophages. Collectively, these findings emphasize the diversity of the immune response and molecular networks at defined stages following viral infection of the CNS.

RNA-seq of hiPSCs-derived NPCs from 3 pairs of dizygotic discordant twins for Congenital Zika syndrome

Project description:Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), caused by Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, has been associated to impairment of early brain development, particularly related to neural progenitor cells (NPCs) survival and growth. In this work we report in a high-throughput manner (RNA-Seq) the differences in the transcriptomes of hiPSCs(human induced pluripotent stem cells)-derived NPCs from 3 pairs of discordant twins for Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). We found significant differences in the expression levels of genes relevant to the regulation of neural development between the NPCs from CZS-affected and non-affected twins, suggesting that epigenetic differences may contribute to the different susceptibilities of NPCs to ZIKV infection.
