Inter and intra-lineage genetic diversity of Zika virus differs for American isolates

ABSTRACT: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. ZIKV infections are associated with neurodevelopmental deficiencies termed Congenital Zika Syndrome. ZIKV strains are grouped into three phylogenetic lineages: East African, West African, and Asian, which contains the American lineage. RNA virus genomes exist as genetically-related sequences. The heterogeneity of these viral populations is implicated in viral fitness, and genome diversity is correlated to virulence. This study examines genetic diversity of representative ZIKV strains from all lineages utilizing next generation sequencing (NGS). Inter-lineage diversity results indicate that ZIKV lineages differ broadly from each other; however, intra-lineage comparisons of American ZIKV strains isolated from human serum or placenta show differences in diversity when compared to ZIKVs from Asia and West Africa. This study describes the first comprehensive NGS analysis of all ZIKV lineages and posits that sub-consensus-level diversity may provide a framework for understanding ZIKV fitness during infection.

Inter- and intra-lineage genetic diversity of wild-type Zika viruses reveals both common and distinctive nucleotide variants and clusters of genomic diversity

Project description:ZIKV strains belong to three phylogenetic lineages: East African, West African, and Asian/American. RNA virus genomes exist as populations of genetically-related sequences whose heterogeneity may impact viral fitness, evolution, and virulence. The genetic diversity of representative ZIKVs (N=7) from each lineage was examined using next generation sequencing (NGS) paired with downstream Shannon entropy calculation and single nucleotide variant (SNV) analysis. This comprehensive analysis of ZIKV genetic diversity provides insight into the genetic diversity of ZKIV and repository of SNV positions across lineages.

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.

RNASeq of African green monkey (Vero) cells infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 with different Zika virus (ZIKV) mutants (American WT, African-like, uORF1-KO and uORF2-PTC1) generated by reverse genetics

Project description:Vero cells were infected with the different Zika virus (ZIKV) mutants (American WT, African-like, uORF1-KO and uORF2-PTC1) generated by reverse genetics at MOI:3 to assess their viral transcriptome. Samples were harvested at 24 hours post-infection (h p.i.) by flash-freezing, without cycloheximide pre-treatment. Ribosomal RNA was removed using Illumina's RiboZero kit, and RNA was hydrolysed and then gel purified to select fragments 25-35nt long. Fragments were cloned into adapters using the TruSeq small RNA adapter kit and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq.

Immunoprofiling of CD14+ blood monocytes upon Zika virus infection

Project description:Blood CD14+ monocytes are the frontline immunomodulators categorized into classical, intermediate or non-classical subsets, subsequently differentiating into M1 pro- or M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages upon stimulation. While Zika virus (ZIKV) rapidly establishes viremia, the target cells and immune responses, particularly during pregnancy, remain elusive. Furthermore, it is unknown whether African- and Asian-lineage ZIKV have different phenotypic impacts on host immune responses. Using human blood infection, we identified CD14+ monocytes as the primary target for African- or Asian-lineage ZIKV infection. When immunoprofiles of human blood infected with ZIKV were compared, a classical/intermediate monocyte-mediated M1-skewed inflammation by African-lineage ZIKV infection was observed, in contrast to a non-classical monocyte-mediated M2-skewed immunosuppression by Asian-lineage ZIKV infection. Importantly, infection of pregnant women’s blood revealed enhanced susceptibility to ZIKV infection. Specifically, Asian-lineage ZIKV infection of pregnant women’s blood led to an exacerbated M2-skewed immunosuppression of non-classical monocytes in conjunction with global suppression of type I interferon-signaling pathway and an aberrant expression of host genes associated with pregnancy complications. 30 ZIKV+ sera from symptomatic pregnant patients also showed elevated levels of M2-skewed immunosuppressive cytokines and pregnancy complication-associated fibronectin-1. This study demonstrates the differential immunomodulatory responses of blood monocytes, particularly during pregnancy, upon infection with different lineages of ZIKV.

A single amino acid substitution in the capsid protein of Zika virus contributes to the African lineage-specific virulence phenotypes

Project description:The re-emerged Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause severe neurological complications termed congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in infants born to ZIKV-infected mothers. However, increasing evidence shows the ancestral African lineage ZIKV displays more virulent phenotype than the contemporary Asian ZIKV in multiple cell and animal models. However, the viral determinants and underlying mechanism of this lineage specific virulence phenotype remain largely unknown. In the present study, phylogenetic analysis and sequence alignment identified a panel of lineage specific amino acid substitutions between African and Asian ZIKVs. Then, these amino acid substitutions were introduced into an infectious clone of Asian ZIKV by standard reverse genetic technology. Further characterization in vitro demonstrated that the recovered mutant virus with a lysine to arginine substitution at position 101 of capsid (C) protein (termed K101R) produced larger plaques in BHK-21 cells, and replicated more efficiently and induced more severe cytopathic effects (CPE) in multiple cells including human neuronal precursor cells (NPCs). More importantly, the K101R mutant virus replicated more efficiently in mouse brain tissues, and induced stronger inflammatory responses, leading to higher mortality than the wild type (WT) virus in neonatal mice. Despite no effect on RNA binding affinity of recombinant C protein to viral RNA, structural modeling and biochemical assays showed that the K101R substitution increased the viral protease cleavage efficiency of full C protein. Taken together, our study identified a single amino acid substitution K101R in the capsid protein responsible for the well-characterized virulence enhancement phenotypes, highlighting the importance of viral determinants for the co-circulating of two lineages 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.
