The cytokine DIEDEL and a viral homologue suppress deleterious IMD-dependent gene expression in drosophila

ABSTRACT: Viral infection in Drosophila triggers inducible gene expression, but the function of many of these genes and the biological significance of their induction remain poorly understood. Here, we report the functional characterization of the gene Diedel, which is strongly induced following some viral infections and encodes a 12kDa circulating protein. Diedel mutant flies have reduced viability and succumb rapidly to infection with Sindbis virus. This phenotype is associated with deregulated expression of IMD target genes and is rescued by mutations in the genes imd or IKKg, indicating that Diedel functions as an immunosuppressor cytokine targeting the IMD pathway. Homologues of Diedel are found in the genome of several DNA viruses, providing the first example of virokines in insects. Our results reveal that, besides RNA interference and apoptosis, an NF-kB pathway of inducible defense exerts evolutionary pressure on insect viruses. For each experimental condition (non infected and SINV infected), two biologically independent samples composed of 45 males of w1118 or Diedelcfm null mutant flies were used. Infection has been performed by injecting viral stocks prepared in Tris solution. Flies were then incubated for days at 29Â°C.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila infected with Drosophila C virus reveals a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection

Project description:The response of drosophila to bacterial and fungal infections involves two signaling pathways, Toll and Imd, which both activate NF-kB family members. We have studied the global transcriptional response of flies to infection with drosophila C virus. Viral infection induced a set of genes distinct from those regulated by the Toll or Imd pathways, and triggered activation of a STAT binding activity. Genetic experiments showed that the JAK kinase Hopscotch was involved in the control of the viral load in infected flies, and was required, though not sufficient, for the induction of some virus-regulated genes. Our results indicate that in addition to Toll and Imd, a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection.

Expression profile of adult Drosophila melanogaster expressing a self-replicating RNA of Sindbis virus

Project description:Alphaviruses establish a persistent infection in arthropod vectors, which is essential for effective transmission of the virus to vertebrate hosts. The development of persistence in insects is not well understood, although it is thought to involve the innate immune response. Using a transgenic fly system (SINrep) expressing a self-replicating viral genome, we have previously demonstrated the antiviral response of the Drosophila Imd (Immune Deficiency) and Jak-STAT innate immunity pathways. In the current study, microarray analysis of SINrep flies in comparison to control GFP flies aims to detect genes that are sensitive to Sindbis viral RNA replication. Both SINrep and GFP adult flies were harvested 3 days post eclosion for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We look for genes significantly altered in the presence of viral RNA replication.

Polysome purified mRNA in control and RACK1 silenced in human hepatocarcinoma cells

Project description:Fighting viral infections is hampered by the scarcity of viral targets and their variability resulting in development of resistance. Viruses depend on cellular molecules for their life cycle, which are attractive alternative targets, provided that they are dispensable for normal cell functions. Using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, we identify the ribosomal protein RACK1 as a cellular factor required for infection by internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-containing viruses. We further show that RACK1 is an essential determinant for hepatitis C virus translation and infection indicating that its function is conserved among distantly related human and fly viruses. Inhibition of RACK1 does not affect Drosophila or human cell viability and proliferation, and RACK1-silenced adult flies are viable, indicating that this protein is not essential for general translation. Our findings demonstrate a specific function for RACK1 in selective mRNA translation and uncover a new target for the development of broad antiviral intervention. 4 Controls 4 RACK1 silenced cells

Differences in cytokine production in human macrophages and in virulence in mice are attributable to the PA protein of H5N1 influenza viruses

Project description:Background. The pathogenesis of influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (hearafter, "H5N1") infection in humans is not completely understood, although hypercytokinemia is thought to play a role. We previously reported that most H5N1 viruses induce high cytokine responses in human macrophages, whereas some H5N1 viruses induce only a low level of cytokine production similar to that induced by seasonal viruses. Methods. To identify the viral molecular determinants for cytokine induction of H5N1 viruses in human macrophages, we generated a series of reassortant viruses between the high cytokine inducer A/Vietnam/UT3028II/03 clone 2 (VN3028IIcl2) and the low inducer A/Indonesia/UT3006/05 (IDN3006), and evaluated cytokine expression in human macrophages. Results. Viruses possessing the acidic polymerase (PA) gene of VN3028IIcl2 exhibited high levels of hypercytokinemia-related cytokine expression in human macrophages, compared with IDN3006, but showed no substantial differences in viral growth in these cells. Further, the PA gene of VN3028IIcl2 conferred enhanced virulence in mice. Conclusions. These results demonstrate that the PA gene of VN3028IIcl2 affects cytokine production in human macrophages and virulence in mice. These findings provide new insights into the cytokine-mediated pathogenesis of H5N1 infection in humans. Human monocyte-derived macrophages were mock-infected, or infected with IDN3006, VN3028IIcl2, or IDN3006/cl2PA at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2. At 6 hours post-infection (hpi), the cells were harvested and subjected to microarray analysis (three technical replicates per each group).

Microarray analysis of IFN-response

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN-α/β) is the first line of defense against viral infection. Mouse models have been pivotal to our understanding of IFN-α/β in immunity, although validation of these findings in humans has not been possible. We investigated a previously healthy child with fatal susceptibility to the live-attenuated measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. By targeted resequencing we identified a homozygous mutation in the high-affinity interferon-α/β receptor (IFNAR2), which rendered cells unresponsive to IFN-α/β and led to unrestricted replication of IFN-attenuated viruses. Reconstitution of patient cells with wild-type IFNAR2 restored IFN-α/β responsiveness and viral resistance. Despite the failure to control vaccine viruses, the patient showed no evidence of susceptibility to conventional viral pathogens in vivo and adaptive immunity appeared normal. Human IFNAR2 deficiency therefore reveals an essential role for IFN-α/β in resistance to attenuated viruses, but significant and unexpected redundancy overall in antiviral immunity. Total RNA isolated from IFNAR2-deficient patient (in triplicate) and control (three independent control lines) fibroblasts treated with IFNalpha, IFNbeta or IFNgamma (1000 IU/mL) for 10h

A Dicistrovirus-specific inducible antiviral response in Drosophila

Project description:The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a good model to unravel the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity, and has led to some important discoveries on the sensing and signalling of microbial infections. The response of drosophila to virus infections remains poorly characterized, and appears to involve two facets. On one hand RNA interference (RNAi) involves the recognition and processing of dsRNA into small interfering (si) RNAs by the host ribonuclease Dicer-2 (Dcr-2), whereas on the other hand an inducible response controlled by the evolutionarily conserved JAK/STAT pathway contributes to the antiviral host defence. In order to clarify the contribution of the siRNA and JAK/STAT pathways to the control of viral infections, we have compared the resistance of flies wild-type or mutant for Dcr-2 or the JAK kinase Hopscotch (Hop) to infections by seven RNA or DNA viruses belonging to different families. Our results reveal a unique susceptibility of hop mutant flies to infection by DCV and CrPV, two members of the Dicistroviridae family. Genome-wide microarray analysis confirmed that different sets of genes were induced following infection by DCV (GSE2828) or two unrelated RNA viruses, FHV and SINV. Overall, our data reveal that RNAi is an efficient antiviral mechanism, operating against a large range of viruses, including a DNA virus. By contrast, the antiviral contribution of the JAK/STAT pathway appears to be virus-specific. For each experimental challenge (FHV, 48 or 72 hours after infection; SINV, 4 or 8 days after infection), three biologically independent samples composed of 45 male Oregon R flies were used. Infection has been performed by injecting viral stocks prepared in Tris solution. Injection of the same volume of Tris has been used as control. Infected flies were then incubated for 48 or 72 hours in the case of FHV and 4 days or 8 days in the case of SINV.

Cross-species analysis of viral nucleic acid interactors identifies TAOKs as immune regulators

Project description:The cell intrinsic antiviral response of multicellular organisms developed over millions of years and critically relies on the ability to sense and eliminate viral nucleic acids. Here we used an affinity proteomics approach in evolutionary distant species (human, mouse and fly) to identify proteins that are conserved in their ability to associate with diverse viral nucleic acids. This approach revealed a conserved core of proteins targeting viral genetic material and species-specific interactants. Functional characterization of the influence of 181 candidates on replication of 6 distinct viruses in human cells and flies identified 128 nucleic acid binding proteins with an impact on virus growth. We identified the family of TAO kinases (TAOK1, -2 and -3) as dsRNA-interacting antiviral proteins and show their requirement in type-I interferon induction. Depletion of TAO kinases in mammals or flies led to an impaired response to virus infection characterized by a reduced induction of interferon stimulated genes in mammals and impaired expression of srg1 and diedel in flies. Overall, our study reveals a by far larger interaction space between viral genetic material and host factors than anticipated so far, attesting to the ancestral roots of innate immunity and to the lineage-specific pressures exerted by viruses.
