Genomic analysis of the host response to hepatitis B virus infection.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected humans and chimpanzees suggest that control of HBV infection involves the cells, effector functions, and molecular mediators of the immune response. The objective of the current study was to identify, in the liver of acutely HBV-infected chimpanzees, the spectrum of virus-induced and immune response-related genes that regulate the infection. The results demonstrate that HBV does not induce any genes during entry and expansion, suggesting it is a stealth virus early in the infection. In contrast, a large number of T cell-derived IFN-gamma-regulated genes are induced in the liver during viral clearance, reflecting the impact of an adaptive T cell response that inhibits viral replication and kills infected cells, thereby terminating the infection.

Genomic analysis of the host response to hepatitis C virus infection.

Project description:We have examined the progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections by gene expression analysis of liver biopsies in acutely infected chimpanzees that developed persistent infection, transient viral clearance, or sustained clearance. Both common responses and outcome-specific changes in expression were observed. All chimpanzees showed gene expression patterns consistent with an IFN-alpha response that correlated with the magnitude and duration of infection. Transient and sustained viral clearance were uniquely associated with induction of IFN-gamma-induced genes and other genes involved in antigen processing and presentation and the adaptive immune response. During the early stages of infection, host genes involved in lipid metabolism were also differentially regulated. We also show that drugs that affect these biosynthetic pathways can regulate HCV replication in HCV replicon systems. Our results reveal genome-wide transcriptional changes that reflect the establishment, spread, and control of infection, and they reveal potentially unique antiviral programs associated with clearance of HCV infection.

High-Resolution Evolutionary Analysis of Within-Host Hepatitis C Virus Infection.

Project description:BackgroundDespite recent breakthroughs in treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we have limited understanding of how virus diversity generated within individuals impacts the evolution and spread of HCV variants at the population scale. Addressing this gap is important for identifying the main sources of disease transmission and evaluating the risk of drug-resistance mutations emerging and disseminating in a population.MethodsWe have undertaken a high-resolution analysis of HCV within-host evolution from 4 individuals coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). We used long-read, deep-sequenced data of full-length HCV envelope glycoprotein, longitudinally sampled from acute to chronic HCV infection to investigate the underlying viral population and evolutionary dynamics.ResultsWe found statistical support for population structure maintaining the within-host HCV genetic diversity in 3 out of 4 individuals. We also report the first population genetic estimate of the within-host recombination rate for HCV (0.28 × 10-7 recombination/site/year), which is considerably lower than that estimated for HIV-1 and the overall nucleotide substitution rate estimated during HCV infection.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that population structure and strong genetic linkage shapes within-host HCV evolutionary dynamics. These results will guide the future investigation of potential HCV drug resistance adaptation during infection, and at the population scale.

Genome-wide analysis of host mRNA translation during hepatitis C virus infection

Project description:Sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation followed by microarray analysis was used to identify translationally-regulated mRNAs (mRNAs associated with ribosomes) from JFH1-infected and uninfected Huh-7.5.1 cells. Huh7 cells were infected with HCV JFH-1 strain. Controls consisted in non-infected cells and infected cells treated with an anti-protease. 3 days after infection, cell lysates were subjected to sucrose-gradient centrifugation in order to isolate polysome-free RNAs from polysome-bound (translated) RNAs. The non-polysomal, polysomal as well as cytosolic (non fractionned) RNAs, from infected, non-infected, and infected-treated cells were subject sur microarray analysis.

Genome-wide analysis of host mRNA translation during hepatitis C virus infection.

Project description:In the model of Huh-7.5.1 hepatocyte cells infected by the JFH1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) strain, transcriptomic and proteomic studies have revealed modulations of pathways governing mainly apoptosis and cell cycling. Differences between transcriptomic and proteomic studies pointed to regulations occurring at the posttranscriptional level, including the control of mRNA translation. In this study, we investigated at the genome-wide level the translational regulation occurring during HCV infection. Sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation followed by microarray analysis was used to identify translationally regulated mRNAs (mRNAs associated with ribosomes) from JFH1-infected and uninfected Huh-7.5.1 cells. Translationally regulated mRNAs were found to correspond to genes enriched in specific pathways, including vesicular transport and posttranscriptional regulation. Interestingly, the strongest translational regulation was found for mRNAs encoding proteins involved in pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA translation, and protein folding. Strikingly, these pathways were not previously identified, through transcriptomic studies, as being modulated following HCV infection. Importantly, the observed changes in host mRNA translation were directly due to HCV replication rather than to HCV entry, since they were not observed in JFH1-infected Huh-7.5.1 cells treated with a potent HCV NS3 protease inhibitor. Overall, this study highlights the need to consider, beyond transcriptomic or proteomic studies, the modulation of host mRNA translation as an important aspect of HCV infection.

Hepatitis C virus: life cycle in cells, infection and host response, and analysis of molecular markers influencing the outcome of infection and response to therapy.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global health burden accounting for around 170 million chronic infections worldwide. Since its discovery, which dates back to about 30 years ago, many details of the viral genome organization and the astonishing genetic diversity have been unveiled but, owing to the difficulty of culturing HCV in vitro and obtaining fully susceptible yet immunocompetent in vivo models, we are still a long way from the full comprehension of viral life cycle, host cell pathways facilitating or counteracting infection, pathogenetic mechanisms in vivo, and host defences. Here, we illustrate the viral life cycle into cells, describe the interplay between immune and genetic host factors shaping the course of infection, and provide details of the molecular approaches currently used to genotype, monitor replication in vivo, and study the emergence of drug-resistant viral variants.

Host Genetic Determinants of Hepatitis B Virus Infection.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still a major health problem worldwide. Recently, a great number of genetic studies based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genome-wide association studies have been performed to search for host determinants of the development of chronic HBV infection, clinical outcomes, therapeutic efficacy, and responses to hepatitis B vaccines, with a focus on human leukocyte antigens (HLA), cytokine genes, and toll-like receptors. In addition to SNPs, gene insertions/deletions and copy number variants are associated with infection. However, conflicting results have been obtained. In the present review, we summarize the current state of research on host genetic factors and chronic HBV infection, its clinical type, therapies, and hepatitis B vaccine responses and classify published results according to their reliability. The potential roles of host genetic determinants of chronic HBV infection identified in these studies and their clinical significance are discussed. In particular, HLAs were relevant for HBV infection and pathogenesis. Finally, we highlight the need for additional studies with large sample sizes, well-matched study designs, appropriate statistical methods, and validation in multiple populations to improve the treatment of HBV infection.

Hepatitis E virus: host tropism and zoonotic infection.

Project description:Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is an understudied but important pathogen. HEV typically causes self-limiting acute viral hepatitis, however chronic infection with neurological and other extrahepatic manifestations has increasingly become a significant clinical problem. The discovery of swine HEV from pigs and demonstration of its zoonotic potential led to the genetic identification of very diverse HEV strains from more than a dozen other animal species. HEV strains from pig, rabbit, deer, camel, and rat have been shown to cross species barriers and infect humans. Zoonotic HEV infections through consumption of raw or undercooked animal meat or direct contact with infected animals have been reported. The discovery of a large number of animal HEV variants does provide an opportunity to develop useful animal models for HEV. In this mini-review, we discuss recent advances in HEV host range, and cross-species and zoonotic transmission.

Suppression of Interferon-α Treatment Response by Host Negative Factors in Hepatitis B Virus Infection.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection remains a major global public health issue for which there is still lacking effective curative treatment. Interferon-α (IFN-α) and its pegylated form have been approved as an anti-HBV drug with the advantage of antiviral activity and host immunity against HBV infection enhancement, however, IFN-α treatment failure in CHB patients is a challenging obstacle with 70% of CHB patients respond poorly to exogenous IFN-α treatment. The IFN-α treatment response is negatively regulated by both viral and host factors, and the role of viral factors has been extensively illustrated, while much less attention has been paid to host negative factors. Here, we summarized evidence of host negative regulators and parameters involved in IFN-α therapy failure, review the mechanisms responsible for these effects, and discuss the possible improvement of IFN-based therapy and the rationale of combining the inhibitors of negative regulators in achieving an HBV cure.
