Serum Proteomics of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Patients

ABSTRACT: Dabie bandavirus, also termed as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), was first isolated in China in 2010. At this time, the virus was found to have spread to South Korea, Japan, and other countries. A high case fatality rate is reported for SFTS, ranging from 12–50% within various sources. Several omics for clinical studies among SFTS patients as well as studies of cultured SFTSV have attempted to characterize the relevant molecular biology and epidemiology of the disease. However, a global serum proteomics analysis among SFTS patients has not yet been reported to date. Thrombocytopenia and multiple organ failure are the major immediate causes of death among SFTS patients. In this study, serum proteomic changes related to thrombocytopenia, abnormal immune response, and inflammatory activation were documented in SFTS patients. These findings provide useful information forunderstanding the clinical manifestations of SFTS.

Project description:Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) infected with a lethal dose of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-strain WE (LCMV-WE) provide a model for Lassa fever virus infection of man. Like Lassa fever in human beings, disease begins with flu-like symptoms but can progress to morbidity fairly rapidly. Previously, we profiled the blood transcriptome of LCMV-infected monkeys (M. Djavani et al. J. Virol. 2007: PMID 17522210) showing distinct pre-viremic and viremic stages that discriminated between virulent and benign infections. In the present study, changes in liver gene expression from macaques infected with virulent LCMV-WE were compared to gene expression in uninfected monkeys as well as to monkeys that were infected but not diseased. We observed gene expression changes that occurred before the viremic stage of the disease, and could potentially serve as biomarkers that discriminate between exposure to a hemorrhagic fever virus and exposure to a benign virus. Based on a functional pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes, virulent LCMV-WE had a much broader effect on liver cell function than non-virulent virus. During the first few days of infection, virulent virus impacted gene expression associated with the generation of energy, such as fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism, with the complement and coagulation cascades, and with steroid metabolism, MAPK signaling and cell adhesion. For example, the energy profile resembled that of an organism entering starvation: acetyl-CoA carboxylase, a key enzyme of fatty acid synthesis, was shut down and gene products involved in gluconeogenesis were up-regulated. In conclusion, this study identifies several potential gene markers of LCMV-WE-associated liver disease and contributes to the database of gene expression changes correlated with LCMV pathogenesis in primates. 6 groups: uninfected controls, LCMV-WE infected (pre-viremic; day 1 to day 3), LCMV-WE infected (viremic; day 4 to day 7), LCMV-WE infected (post-viremic; day 8 to day 12), LCMV-Armstrong (LCMV-ARM; non-virulent strain) infected, and LCMV-ARM/LCMV-WE infected but not diseased. Each sample is from the liver of a different rhesus macaque.

Project description:The chimpanzee is the only model other than man for investigating the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis types A through E. Studies of the host response, including microarray analyses, have relied on the close relationship between these two primate species: chimpanzee samples are commonly tested with human-based reagents. In this study, the host response to two dissimilar viruses, hepatitis E virus (HEV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), was compared in multiple experimentally-infected chimpanzees. Affymetrix U133+2.0 human microarray chips were used to assess the entire transcriptome in serial liver biopsies obtained over the course of the infections. The comparison utilized a permutational t-test-based analysis of selected time points. More specifically, baseline samples were compared with post-inoculation samples that were strategically chosen based on their relationship to viremia, and probe sequences were aligned to the human and chimpanzee genome sequences to assess their relative sensitivity for detecting differentially expressed genes. Regardless of the viral infection, the alignment of differentially expressed genes to the human genome sequence resulted in a larger number of genes being identified when compared with alignment to the chimpanzee genome sequence. This probably reflects the lesser refinement of gene annotation for chimpanzees. In general, the two viruses demonstrated very distinct temporal changes in host response genes, although both RNA viruses induced genes that were involved in many of the same biological systems, including interferon-induced genes. The host response to HCV infection was more robust than the response to HEV infection. Three chimpanzees were inoculated intravenously with the hepatitis C virus: chimp 1628 was infected with < 100 infectious doses (ID) of the H77 strain (genotype 1a) (30); chimp 1417 was infected with an unknown titer, in serum, of the HC-J6 strain (genotype 2a) (31); chimp 1422 was infected with an unknown titer, in serum, of the T.N. strain (genotype 1a) (35). Four chimpanzees (CH1616, CH1618, CH1374 and CH1375) were inoculated intravenously with 0.5 ml of the HEV SAR55 strain (genotype 1) at approximately 10^6 ID. Grouping of the biological replicates was based on viremia: groups consisted of the first positive week (and the second positive week for HCV), the peak positive week, the last positive week, the first negative week and the fourth negative week. There were 3 biological replicates for HCV. The 4 replicates for HEV were both biological and technical. For chimp 1417, 7 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 17. For chimp 1422, 8 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 13. For chimp 1628, 8 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 19. For chimp 1374, 6 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 8. For chimp 1375, 4 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 8. For chimp 1616, 5 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 7. For chimp 1618, 6 samples were taken between weeks 0 and 8. Normalized probe set level data not provided for individual Sample records. Processed data is available on Series record.

Project description:Background & Aims: New therapies for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are urgently needed since current treatments rarely lead to cure. We evaluated whether the oral small molecule toll-like receptor (TLR7) agonist GS-9620 could induce durable anti-viral efficacy in woodchucks chronically infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV), a hepadnavirus closely related to human hepatitis B virus (HBV). Methods: After evaluating the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tolerability of oral GS-9620 in uninfected woodchucks, adult woodchucks chronically infected with WHV (n=7 per group) were dosed with GS-9620 or placebo for 4 or 8 weeks with different treatment schedules. Results: GS?9620 treatment induced rapid, marked and sustained reduction in serum viral DNA (mean maximal 6.2 log10 reduction), and hepatic WHV DNA replicative intermediates, WHV cccDNA and WHV RNA, as well as loss of detectable serum WHV surface antigen (WHsAg). GS-9620 treatment also induced a sustained antibody response against WHsAg in a subset of animals. Strikingly, treatment reduced the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from 71% in the placebo group to 8% in GS-9620-treated woodchucks with sustained viral load reduction. GS-9620 treatment was associated with reversible increases in serum liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia, and induced intrahepatic CD8+ T cell, NK cell, B cell and interferon (IFN) response transcriptional signatures. Conclusions: The data demonstrate that short duration, finite treatment with the oral TLR7 agonist GS-9620 can induce a sustained antiviral response in the woodchuck model of CHB, and support investigation of this compound as a therapeutic approach to attain a functional cure in CHB patients. Liver biopsies were taken at various time points pre-treatment, during treatment and post-treatment from placebo-treated group and GS9620-treated group (5mg/kg QW). Total RNAs were extracted and analyzed by RNA-Seq. The number of animals analyzed at each time-point for each group was as follows: group 1 (placebo) day -14, n=7; day 43, n=7; day 71, n=7; day 120, n=7; day 250, n=7; group 5 (5 mg/kg QW) day -14, n=7; day 23, n=6; day 57, n=5; day 78, n=4; day 250, n=5.

Project description:We have previously shown that Heparin (Hep) significantly inhibited Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection and binding in both Vero and a human neural cell line, SK-N-SH, in vitro. Therefore, in this study we intended to gain insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action of Hep against clinical EV71 infection in SK-N-SH cells. Instead of stating a long list of gene functions and pathways, we tried to select for EV71-induced genes that were exclusively affected by antiviral activity of Hep through a multi-level comparison and characterization. Overall, our microarray analysis may suggest that Hep might exert its anti-EV71 activity in SK-N-SH cells, at least in part, through the following mechanisms: i. Reduction of the down-regulation effect of EV71 on TOX that would lead to an increased population of effective, mature T-cells and NK-cells; ii. Reduction of the up-regulation effect of EV71 on GIP, that in turn, would reduce recruiting different GPCRs, leading to a reduced viral infection in host cells; iii. Partially neutralization of the EV71-mediated apoptosis through expression of CARP2 that acts as an anti-apoptosis ubiquitin protein ligase (E3). EV71 is a neurovirological virus that can sometimes cause severe and fatal CNS complications in infected patients. Since still there is no approved drug for prophylaxis of EV71-casued disease, discovering a molecular drug target(s) for EV71 infection would be crucial. This was the first study to report direct assessment of mechanisms of action of antivirals against EV71 infection. SK-N-SH cells were infected with a clinical EV71 isolate followed by treatment with 125 µg/mL of Hep. At 72 hours post infection, antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of Hep at 125 µg/mL in 12-well plates were carried out at the same time as RNA extraction. This way, we could ensure that we would assess transcript profiles of the host cells under the same condition and time as assessment of antiviral activity and cytotoxicity for the same replicates. Changes in expression profiles of the host cells were comparatively assessed under four conditions: cell control (neither infection nor treatment, designated CC), treated only with Hep (compound control, designated Cyto), EV71-infected cells treated with Hep (treatment, designated H), and infected with EV71 without treatment with Hep (virus control, designated V). All experiments were applied in triplicate, and totally twelve GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays were purchased from Affymetrix and processed. Then, the following five contrasts were made: Hep vs. CC; VC vs. CC; Cyto vs CC; Hep vs. VC; and Hep vs. Cyto. For each contrast, only samples from the two target groups were included. The statistical parameters of ANOVAs, p values, multiple test corrections, and fold changes were calculated within each contrast. Then, a multi-level selection and analysis procedure was employed in order to attribute changes in the gene transcription level to antiviral activity of Hep.
