Hamster organotypic modeling of SARS-CoV-2 lung and brainstem infection.

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic of COVID-19 since its emergence in December 2019. The infection causes a severe acute respiratory syndrome and may also spread to central nervous system leading to neurological sequelae. We have developed and characterized two new organotypic cultures from hamster brainstem and lung tissues that offer a unique opportunity to study the early steps of viral infection and screening antivirals. These models are not dedicated to investigate how the virus reaches the brain. However, they allow validating the early tropism of the virus in the lungs and demonstrating that SARS-CoV-2 could infect the brainstem and the cerebellum, mainly by targeting granular neurons. Viral infection induces specific interferon and innate immune responses with patterns specific to each organ, along with cell death by apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Overall, our data illustrate the potential of rapid modeling of complex tissue-level interactions during infection by a newly emerged virus.

Non-Productive Infection of Glial Cells with SARS-CoV-2 in Hamster Organotypic Cerebellar Slice Cultures.

Project description:The numerous neurological syndromes associated with COVID-19 implicate an effect of viral pathogenesis on neuronal function, yet reports of direct SARS-CoV-2 infection in the brain are conflicting. We used a well-established organotypic brain slice culture to determine the permissivity of hamster brain tissues to SARS-CoV-2 infection. We found levels of live virus waned after inoculation and observed no evidence of cell-to-cell spread, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 infection was non-productive. Nonetheless, we identified a small number of infected cells with glial phenotypes; however, no evidence of viral infection or replication was observed in neurons. Our data corroborate several clinical studies that have assessed patients with COVID-19 and their association with neurological involvement.

Organotypic Human Lung Bud Microarrays Identify BMP-dependent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Lung Cells

Project description:Although lung disease is the primary clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients, how SARS-CoV-2 induces lung pathology remains elusive. Here we describe a high-throughput platform to generate self-organizing ad commensurate human lung buds derived from hESCs cultured on micropatterned substrates. Lung buds resemble human fetal lungs and display proximo-distal patterning of alveolar and airway tissue directed by KGF. These lung buds are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2 and endemic coronaviruses and can be used to track cell type-specific cytopathic effects in hundreds of lung buds in parallel. Transcriptomic comparisons of infected lung buds and postmortem tissue of COVID-19 patients identified an induction of BMP signaling pathway. BMP activity renders lung cells more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its pharmacological inhibition impairs infection by this virus. These data highlight the rapid and scalable access to disease-relevant tissue using lung buds that recapitulate key features of human lung morphogenesis and viral infection biology.

Organoid modeling of lung-intrinsic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Current study of the mechanistic underpinnings of infectious disease is limited by an absence of human in vitro model systems which recapitulate the full spectrum of epithelial and immune responses induced by host-pathogen interactions. To address this gap, we describe a holistic, three-dimensional, air-liquid interface (ALI) lung organoid method from adult tissue comprising epithelial and stromal architecture along with a full complement of resident innate and adaptive immune cells. This novel system allows the study of the intrinsic tissue-resident immune function of the lung without requiring additional immune reconstitution from lung-extrinsic sources. Using SARS-CoV-2 infection of these 3D human lung ALI organoids, we demonstrate the ability of the endogenous immune system of the lung to mount a coordinated response including cytokine production, chemotaxis, adaptive CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses, and antibody production. Further, this immune response is dampened by inhibitors of viral replication and augmented in vaccinated individuals. Together, we describe the successful generation of human lung organoids that preserve the diversity of stromal and tissue-resident immune populations and SARS-CoV-2 infection thereof. This en bloc system demonstrates the sufficiency of lung to independently initiate anamnestic responses without a peripheral lymphoid component, as applicable to physiologic modeling of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and the broad study of pulmonary disease.

Nasal irrigation efficiently attenuates SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection, transmission and lung injury in the Syrian hamster model.

Project description:Recently, a new variant lineage of SARS-CoV-2, namely Omicron, became the dominant global circulating strain. The multiple antigenic mutations of Omicron largely decrease the efficiency of current vaccines and neutralizing antibodies, which highlights the need for more potent and reachable medical countermeasures. Here, we hypothesize that direct viral clearance by nasal irrigation might be a convenient and alternative option, and perform proof-of-concept experiments in the Syrian hamster model. Interestingly, Omicron shows a different dynamic in the changes of viral RNA, viral titers, and proinflammatory cytokines in nasal rinsing samples when compared with the prototype. Meanwhile, the levels of viral load and proinflammatory cytokines in nasal rinsing samples can indicate the severity of lung injury. Of note, daily nasal irrigation efficiently attenuates inflammation and lung injury in Omicron-infected hamsters by decreasing the viral loads in the respiratory tract organs. Moreover, daily nasal irrigation effectively suppresses viral transmission by close contact.

Development of a Hamster Natural Transmission Model of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Project description:The global pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to an international thrust to study pathogenesis and evaluate interventions. Experimental infection of hamsters and the resulting respiratory disease is one of the preferred animal models since clinical signs of disease and virus shedding are similar to more severe cases of human COVID-19. The main route of challenge has been direct inoculation of the virus via the intranasal route. To resemble the natural infection, we designed a bespoke natural transmission cage system to assess whether recipient animals housed in physically separate adjacent cages could become infected from a challenged donor animal in a central cage, with equal airflow across the two side cages. To optimise viral shedding in the donor animals, a low and moderate challenge dose were compared after direct intranasal challenge, but similar viral shedding responses were observed and no discernible difference in kinetics. The results from our natural transmission set-up demonstrate that most recipient hamsters are infected within the system developed, with variation in the kinetics and levels of disease between individual animals. Common clinical outputs used for the assessment in directly-challenged hamsters, such as weight loss, are less obvious in hamsters who become infected from naturally acquiring the infection. The results demonstrate the utility of a natural transmission model for further work on assessing the differences between virus strains and evaluating interventions using a challenge system which more closely resembles human infection.
