The viral transcription group determines the HLA class I cellular immune response against human respiratory syncytial virus.

ABSTRACT: The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated killing of virus-infected cells requires previous recognition of short viral antigenic peptides bound to human leukocyte antigen class I molecules that are exposed on the surface of infected cells. The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response is critical for the clearance of human respiratory syncytial virus infection. In this study, naturally processed viral human leukocyte antigen class I ligands were identified with mass spectrometry analysis of complex human leukocyte antigen-bound peptide pools isolated from large amounts of human respiratory syncytial virus-infected cells. Acute antiviral T-cell response characterization showed that viral transcription determines both the immunoprevalence and immunodominance of the human leukocyte antigen class I response to human respiratory syncytial virus. These findings have clear implications for antiviral vaccine design.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of noncoding RNAs that have gained increased attention. DNA virus infections have been reported to induce modifications in cellular circRNA transcriptomes and express viral circRNAs. However, the identification and expression of cellular and viral circRNAs are unknown in the context of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a human RNA virus with no effective treatments or vaccines. Here, we report a comprehensive identification of the cellular and viral circRNAs induced by RSV infection in A549 cells with high-throughput sequencing. In total, 53,719 cellular circRNAs and 2,280 differentially expressed cellular circRNAs were identified. Trend analysis further identified three significant expression pattern clusters, which were related to the antiviral immune response according to gene enrichment analysis. Subsequent results showed that not only RSV infection but also poly(I·C) treatment and another RNA virus infection induced the upregulation of the top 10 circRNAs from the focused cluster. The top 10 circRNAs generally inhibit RSV replication in turn. Moreover, 1,254 viral circRNAs were identified by the same circRNA sequencing. The induced expression of viral circRNAs by RSV infection was found not only in A549 cells but also in HEp-2 cells. Additionally, we profiled the general characteristics of both cellular and viral circRNAs such as back-splicing signals, etc. Collectively, RSV infection induced the differential expression of cellular circRNAs, some of which affected RSV infection, and RSV also expressed viral circRNAs. Our study reveals novel layers of host-RSV interactions and identifies cellular or viral circRNAs that may be novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers.

Project description:Ethnopharmacological relevanceLicorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Leguminosae) has been used in herbal medicine and food supplement worldwide for centuries. Licorice is a common ingredient of several prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine which have been proved to inhibit infection of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV). There are two preparations of licorice, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata. However, it is unknown whether licorice or which preparation of licorice is effective against HRSV, nor is its active constituent.Aim of the studyWe tested the hypothesis that Radix Glycyrrhizae can effectively decrease HRSV-induced plaque formation in respiratory mucosal cell lines. We also tried to find out the active constituent.Materials and methodsAnti-HRSV activities of hot water extracts of preparations of licorice, glycyrrhizin and 18?-glycyrrhetinic acid (18?-GA), the active constituents of licorice, were examined by plaque reduction assay in both human upper (HEp-2) and low (A549) respiratory tract cell lines. Abilities of crude licorice to inhibit viral replication and to stimulate IFN-? were evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively.ResultsRadix Glycyrrhizae and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata dose-dependently inhibited HRSV-induced plaque formation in both HEp-2 and A549 cell lines (p<0.0001). The effect of Radix Glycyrrhizae was better than that of Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata on HEp-2 cells. However, there was no difference of their anti-HRSV effects on A549 cells. Besides, glycyrrhizin was ineffective at all. Nevertheless, 18?-GA showed a potent anti-HRSV activity. Radix Glycyrrhizae was more effective when given before viral inoculation (p<0.0001) which may be due to its inhibition of viral attachment on (p<0.0001) and penetration (p<0.0001) into the host cells. The anti-HRSV activity of Radix Glycyrrhizae was further confirmed by RT-PCR and qRT-PCR. 300 ?g/ml Radix Glycyrrhizae markedly decreased the viral amounts within the cells and in the suspension. Radix Glycyrrhizae might further stimulate mucosal cells to secrete IFN-? to counteract viral infection.ConclusionsBoth Radix Glycyrrhizae and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata are effective against HRSV infection on airway epithelial cells. Radix Glycyrrhizae inhibited HRSV mainly by preventing viral attachment, internalization, and by stimulating IFN secretion. 18?-GA may be one of its active constituents.
