The impact of Zika virus exposure on the placental proteomic profile

ABSTRACT: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has caused severe unexpected clinical outcomes in neonates and adults during the recent outbreak in Latin America, particularly in Brazil. Congenital malformations associated with ZIKV have been frequently reported; nevertheless, the mechanism of vertical transmission and the involvement of placental cells remains unclear. In this study, we applied quantitative proteomics analysis in a floating explant model of chorionic villi of human placental tissues incubated with ZIKV and with ZIKV pre-adsorbed with anti-ZIKV envelope protein. The regulation of specific proteins was measured using immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase assays. Altered levels of proteins were involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory processes, and the integrin-cytoskeleton complex. Antibody-opsonized ZIKV particles differentially modulated the pattern of protein expression in placental cells; this phenomenon may play a pivotal role in determining the course of infection and the role of mixed infections. These data fill gaps in our understanding of ZIKV in the placenta and help identify infection control targets.

Project description:Previously we have shown that extravillous cytotrophoblast (EVT) outgrowth and migration on a collagen gel explant model were restricted by exposure to decidual natural killer cells (dNK). This study investigates the molecular causes behind this phenomenon. Genome wide DNA methylation of exposed and unexposed EVT was assessed using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array (450K array). The array identified 444 differentially methylated CpG loci in dNK-treated EVT compared to medium control (P<0.05). The represented genes from these loci had critical biological roles in cellular development, cellular organization and maintenance by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Furthermore, 23 mobility-related genes were identified by IPA from dNK-treated EVT. Among these genes, CLDN4 (encoding claudin-4) and FUT4 (encoding fucosyltranferase IV) were chosen for follow-up studies because of the biological relevance found in the research on tumor cells. The results showed that the mRNA and protein expressions of both CLDN4 and FUT4 in dNK-treated EVT were significantly reduced, and were inversely correlated with DNA methylation. Knocking down CLDN4 and FUT4 by siRNA reduced trophoblast invasion, possibly through the altered MMP-2 and/or MMP-9 expression and activity. Taken together, dNK alter EVT mobility at least partially in association with an alteration of DNA methylation profile. Hypermethylation of CLDN4 and FUT4 reduce protein expressions. CLDN4 and FUT4 are representative genes that participate in modulating trophoblast mobility. This studied analyzed 17 samples of placental villous explant cultre exposed to different growth conditions. 6 Control samples (biological replicates) were cultured and unexposed to any other cells. 5 samples (biological replicates and from the same placentas as the controls) were cultured and exposed to conditions containing decidua natural killer cells trapped inside hollow fibres (thus only the factors secreted by the cells could interact with the explant culture and not the cells themselves. 6 samples (biological replicates and from the same placentas as the controls) were cultured and exposed to media containing IL-15. The DNA from the villous explants was isolated, bisulfite converted and run on the array.

Project description:Estrogen-related receptor M-NM-3 (ERRM-NM-3) serves a critical O2-dependent regulatory role in differentiation of human cytotrophoblasts to syncytiotrophoblast. In this study, we investigated expression of genes encoding tissue kallikreins (KLK1) and voltage-gated K+ channels (KV7) during differentiation of human trophoblasts in culture and the roles of ERRM-NM-3 and O2 tension in their regulation. Expression of KLK1 and the KV7 channel subunits, KCNQ1, KCNE1, KCNE3, KCNE5, increased during differentiation of cultured human trophoblast cells in a 20% O2 environment. Notably, together with ERRM-NM-3, expression of KLK1, KCNQ1, KCNE1, KCNE3 and KCNE5 was markedly reduced when cells were cultured in a hypoxic environment (2% O2). Moreover, upon transduction of trophoblast cells with shRNAs for endogenous ERRM-NM-3, KLK1, KCNQ1, KCNE1 and KCNE3 expression was significantly decreased. Promoter and site-directed mutagenesis studies in transfected cells identified putative ERRM-NM-3 response elements (ERREs) within the KLK1 and KCNE1 5'-flanking regions required for ERRM-NM-3 -stimulated transcriptional activity. Binding of endogenous ERRM-NM-3 to these ERREs increased during trophoblast differentiation in culture and was inhibited by hypoxia. The KV7 blocker linopirdine reduced hCG secretion and aggregation of cultured human trophoblasts, suggesting a possible role of KV7 channels in cell fusion and differentiation. Illumina gene expression arrays of cultured human trophoblast cells revealed several genes upregulated during syncytiotrophoblast differentiation and downregulated upon ERRM-NM-3 knockdown involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, and synthesis of steroid and peptide hormones required for placental development and function. Collectively, these findings suggest that ERRM-NM-3 mediates O2-dependent expression of genes involved in human trophoblast differentiation, function and vascular homeostasis. Illumina whole genome gene expression array analysis was performed on human trophoblasts before culture, or 72 h after infection with recombinant lentiviruses expressing ERRM-NM-3 shRNA, or a control, nonsilencing shRNA. RNA from three independent experiments using placental tissues from three abortuses was extracted by miRNeasyM-BM-. Mini Kit (Qiagen, Maryland, USA). RNA was labeled and hybridized to an Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 BeadChip, according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol.
