Cyclophilin polymorphism and virus infection.

ABSTRACT: Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. All stages of their replication cycle depend on support by host-encoded factors. However, sequence variation also exists in host factors mostly in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Several coding and non-coding genetic variants in the PPIA gene encoding for CypA have been described, but there is only limited information about their influence on the course of viral infection. This paper reviews PPIA polymorphisms and what is known about their impact on the replication cycle and course of disease for different viral infections.

Cyclophilin A: a possible host modulator in Chandipura virus infection.

Project description:Chandipura virus (CHPV), belonging to the genus Vesiculovirus of the family Rhabdoviridae, has been identified as one of the causes of pediatric encephalitis in India. Currently, neither vaccines nor therapeutic drugs are available against this agent. Considering that the disease progresses very fast with a high mortality rate, working towards the development of potential therapeutics against it will have a public health impact. Although the use of viral inhibitors as antiviral agents is the most common way to curb virus replication, the mutation-prone nature of viruses results in the development of resistance to antiviral agents. The recent development of proteomic platforms for analysis of purified viral agents has allowed certain upregulated host proteins that are involved in the morphogenesis and replication of viruses to be identified. Thus, the alternative approach of inhibition of host proteins involved in the regulation of virus replication could be explored for their therapeutic effectiveness. In the current study, we have evaluated the effect of inhibition of cyclophilin A (CypA), an immunophilin with peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase activity, on the replication of CHPV. Treatment with cyclosporin A, used in vitro for the inhibition of CypA, resulted in a 3-log reduction in CHPV titer and an undetectable level of CypA in comparison to an untreated control. An in silico analysis of the interaction of the CHPV nucleoprotein with the human CypA protein showed stable interaction in molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Overall, the results of this study suggest a possible role of CypA in facilitating CHPV replication, thus making it one of the potential host factors to be explored in future antiviral studies.

Cyclophilin A protects mice against infection by influenza A virus.

Project description:Our previous studies indicate that Cyclophilin A (CypA) impairs the replication of influenza A virus in vitro. To further evaluate the antiviral functions of CypA and explore its mechanism, transgenic mice with overexpression of CypA by two specific promoters with SPC (CypA-SPC) or CMV (CypA-CMV) were developed. After challenge with the A/WSN/33(H1N1) influenza virus, CypA-SPC and CypA-CMV transgenic mice displayed nearly 2.5- and 3.8-fold stronger disease resistance to virus infection, respectively, compared to wild-type animals. Virus replication, pathological lesions and inflammatory cytokines were substantially reduced in both lines of transgenic mice. In addition, after infection there was an upregulation of genes associated with cell migration, immune function, and organ development; and a downregulation of genes associated with the positive regulation of immune cells and apoptosis in the peritoneal macrophages of CypA-overexpressing transgenic mice (CypA+). These results indicate that CypA is a key modulator of influenza virus resistance in mice, and that CypA+ mice constitutes an important model to study the roles of CypA in the regulation of immune responses and infections.

Interleukin 28B genetic polymorphism and hepatitis B virus infection.

Project description:Interleukin (IL) 28B genetic polymorphism is significantly associated with the sustained virological response rate in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with pegylated interferon-? (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin and with spontaneous hepatitis C virus clearance. However, a consensus on the relationship between IL28B genetic polymorphism and the favorable outcome of chronic hepatitis B virus infection defined by hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion, and/or hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance in patients treated with interferon or PEG-IFN has not been reached. Several reports failed to show a positive association, while some studies demonstrated a positive association in certain subject settings. More prospective studies including large cohorts are needed to determine the possible association between IL28B genetic polymorphism and the outcome of interferon or PEG-IFN treatment for chronic hepatitis B.

Cyclophilin and viruses: cyclophilin as a cofactor for viral infection and possible anti-viral target.

Project description:Cyclophilin (CyP) is a peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase, catalyzing the cis-trans isomerization of proline residues in proteins. CyP plays key roles in several different aspects of cellular physiology including the immune response, transcription, mitochondrial function, cell death, and chemotaxis. In addition to these cellular events, a number of reports demonstrated that CyP plays a critical role in the life cycle of viruses, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). These two viruses are significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but current therapies are often insufficient. CyP may provide a novel therapeutic target for the management and/or cure of these diseases, in particular HCV.

Cyclophilin D promotes disease tolerance to influenza A virus infection by licensing NK cell development and function

Project description:An effective immune response to influenza A virus (IAV) requires two arms: host resistance, which restricts viral replication, and disease tolerance that limits tissue damage caused by the immune response to IAV. Interestingly, fatal influenza infections are more often associated with dysregulated inflammation, rather than an inability to control viral replication, highlighting the importance of mechanisms involved in disease tolerance to IAV. Here, we show that cyclophilin D (CypD), a mitochondrial protein known to regulate cell death and cytokine production, protects against IAV infection through disease tolerance. Mice deficient in CypD (CypD-/-) exhibit enhanced susceptibility to IAV infection, despite comparable myeloid immune responses and intact antiviral immunity. Instead, CypD-/- susceptibility was due to pulmonary tissue damage, caused by a lack of the cytokine IL-22 that protects the lung epithelium. We found the necessary source of IL-22 following IAV infection to be conventional natural killer (NK) cells that failed to reach the airways of infected CypD-deficient mice, as a result of dysregulated lymphopoiesis in the bone marrow. Importantly, following infection, a single administration of recombinant IL-22 in the airways abrogated pulmonary damage and rescued CypD-/- mice. Thus, the CypD/IL-22/NK cell axis is critical in immunity to IAV by promoting disease tolerance, limiting lung tissue damage and maintaining pulmonary function.

Relationship between HLA-DQ Gene Polymorphism and Hepatitis B Virus Infection.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the predominant risk factor for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The association between HBV infection and human leukocyte antigen- (HLA-) DQ polymorphism (rs2856718 and rs7453920) has been demonstrated in other studies; however, the results were controversial or inconclusive. Therefore, to derive a more precise estimation of the association, a meta-analysis was performed. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between HLA-DQ polymorphism (rs2856718 and rs7453920) and HBV infection risk. A total of 11 articles were used to evaluate the effect of the two polymorphisms on risk of HBV infection. The pooled data showed that HLA-DQ rs2856718-G polymorphism showed protection against HBV infection, and rs2856718-A was a risk factor for chronic HBV infection. The pooled risk estimates indicated that HLA-DQ rs7453920-A polymorphism was associated with decreased risk of HBV infection, and rs7453920-G serves as a risk factor in HBV infection. However, these stratified analyses were lacking credibility due to the limitation of correlational study numbers; further investigation on a large population and different ethnicities is warranted.

Hepatitis C virus exploits cyclophilin A to evade PKR.

Project description:Counteracting innate immunity is essential for successful viral replication. Host cyclophilins (Cyps) have been implicated in viral evasion of host antiviral responses, although the mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we show that hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-opts the host protein CypA to aid evasion of antiviral responses dependent on the effector protein kinase R (PKR). Pharmacological inhibition of CypA rescues PKR from antagonism by HCV NS5A, leading to activation of an interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF1)-driven cell intrinsic antiviral program that inhibits viral replication. These findings further the understanding of the complexity of Cyp-virus interactions, provide mechanistic insight into the remarkably broad antiviral spectrum of Cyp inhibitors, and uncover novel aspects of PKR activity and regulation. Collectively, our study identifies a novel antiviral mechanism that harnesses cellular antiviral immunity to suppress viral replication.

PROTAC targeting cyclophilin A controls virus-induced cytokine storm.

Project description:Cytokine storms caused by viruses are associated with elevated cytokine levels and uncontrolled inflammatory responses that can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Current antiviral therapies are not sufficient to prevent or treat these complications. Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a key factor that regulates the production of multiple cytokines and could be a potential therapeutic target for cytokine storms. Here, three proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) targeting CypA were designed. These PROTACs bind to CypA, enhance its ubiquitination, and promote its degradation in both cell lines and mouse organs. During influenza B virus (IBV) infection, PROTAC-mediated CypA depletion reduces P65 phosphorylation and NF-κB-mediated proinflammatory cytokine production in A549 cells. Moreover, Comp-K targeting CypA suppresses excessive secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, reduces lung injury, and enhances survival rates of IBV-infected mice. Collectively, we provide PROTACs targeting CypA, which are potential candidates for the control of cytokine storms.

Cyclophilin A associates with enterovirus-71 virus capsid and plays an essential role in viral infection as an uncoating regulator.

Project description:Viruses utilize host factors for their efficient proliferation. By evaluating the inhibitory effects of compounds in our library, we identified inhibitors of cyclophilin A (CypA), a known immunosuppressor with peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity, can significantly attenuate EV71 proliferation. We demonstrated that CypA played an essential role in EV71 entry and that the RNA interference-mediated reduction of endogenous CypA expression led to decreased EV71 multiplication. We further revealed that CypA directly interacted with and modified the conformation of H-I loop of the VP1 protein in EV71 capsid, and thus regulated the uncoating process of EV71 entry step in a pH-dependent manner. Our results aid in the understanding of how host factors influence EV71 life cycle and provide new potential targets for developing antiviral agents against EV71 infection.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen interacts with and promotes cyclophilin a secretion: possible link to pathogenesis of HBV infection.

Project description:Cyclophilin A (CypA), predominantly located intracellularly, is a multifunctional protein. We previously reported decreased CypA levels in hepatocytes of transgenic mice expressing hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg). In this study, we found that expression of HBV small surface protein (SHBs) in human hepatoma cell lines specifically triggered CypA secretion, whereas SHBs added extracellularly to culture medium did not. Moreover, CypA secretion was not promoted by the expression of a secretion deficient SHBs mutant, suggesting a close association between secretion of CypA and SHBs. Interaction between CypA and SHBs was observed by using coimmunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. Hydrodynamic injection of the SHBs expression construct into C57BL/6J mice resulted in increased serum CypA levels and ALT/AST levels, as well as the infiltration of inflammatory cells surrounding SHBs-positive hepatocytes. The inflammatory response and serum ALT/AST level were reduced when the chemotactic effect of CypA was inhibited by cyclosporine and anti-CD147 antibody. Furthermore, higher serum CypA levels were detected in chronic hepatitis B patients than in healthy individuals. In HBV patients who had received liver transplantation, serum CypA levels declined dramatically after the loss of HBsAg as a consequence of liver transplantation. Taken together, these results indicate that expression and secretion of SHBs can promote CypA secretion, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of HBV infection.
