Replication of a cytopathic strain of bovine viral diarrhea virus activates PERK and induces endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis of MDBK cells.

ABSTRACT: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling is an adaptive cellular response to the loss of ER Ca(2+) homeostasis and/or the accumulation of misfolded, unassembled, or aggregated proteins in the ER lumen. ER stress-activated signaling pathways regulate protein synthesis initiation and can also trigger apoptosis through the ER-associated caspase 12. Viruses that utilize the host cell ER as an integral part of their life cycle would be predicted to cause some level of ER stress. Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family. BVDV and related flaviviruses use the host ER as the primary site of envelope glycoprotein biogenesis, genomic replication, and particle assembly. We are using a cytopathic strain of BVDV (cpBVDV) that causes cellular apoptosis as a model system to determine how virus-induced ER stress contributes to pathogenesis. We show that, in a natural infection of MDBK cells, cpBVDV activates the ER transmembrane kinase PERK (PKR-like ER kinase) and causes hyperphosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2 alpha, consistent with the induction of an ER stress response. Additionally, we show that initiation of cellular apoptosis correlates with downregulation of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein, induced expression of caspase 12, and a decrease in intracellular glutathione levels. Defining the molecular stress pathways leading to cpBVDV-induced apoptosis provides the basis to study how other ER-tropic viruses, such as hepatitis C and B viruses, modulate the host cell ER stress response during the course of persistent infection.

Project description:BackgroundBovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) infection is widespread in cattle worldwide, causing important economic losses. Pathogenesis of the disease caused by BVDV is complex, as each BVDV strain has two biotypes: non-cytopathic (ncp) and cytopathic (cp). BVDV can cause a persistent latent infection and immune suppression if animals are infected with an ncp biotype during early gestation, followed by a subsequent infection of the cp biotype. The molecular mechanisms that underscore the complex disease etiology leading to immune suppression in cattle caused by BVDV are not well understood.ResultsUsing proteomics, we evaluated the effect of cp and ncp BVDV infection of bovine monocytes to determine their role in viral immune suppression and uncontrolled inflammation. Proteins were isolated by differential detergent fractionation and identified by 2D-LC ESI MS/MS. We identified 137 and 228 significantly altered bovine proteins due to ncp and cp BVDV infection, respectively. Functional analysis of these proteins using the Gene Ontology (GO) showed multiple under- and over- represented GO functions in molecular function, biological process and cellular component between the two BVDV biotypes. Analysis of the top immunological pathways affected by BVDV infection revealed that pathways representing macropinocytosis signalling, virus entry via endocytic pathway, integrin signalling and primary immunodeficiency signalling were identified only in ncp BVDV-infected monocytes. In contrast, pathways like actin cytoskeleton signalling, RhoA signalling, clathrin-mediated endocytosis signalling and interferon signalling were identified only in cp BDVD-infected cells. Of the six common pathways involved in cp and ncp BVDV infection, acute phase response signalling was the most significant for both BVDV biotypes. Although, most shared altered host proteins between both BVDV biotypes showed the same type of change, integrin alpha 2b (ITGA2B) and integrin beta 3 (ITGB3) were down- regulated by ncp BVDV and up- regulated by cp BVDV infection.ConclusionsThis study shows that, as we expected, there are significant functional differences in the host proteins that respond to cp or ncp BVDV infection. The combined use of GO and systems biology network modelling facilitated a better understanding of host-pathogen interactions.
