Project description:Background: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a new causative agent of chronic hepatitis in solid organ transplant recipients in Europe. Factors associated with the occurrence and persistence of chronic HEV infection remain largely unknown but chronic evolution seems to be the consequence of hostM-bM-^@M-^Ys immunological factors rather than of viral factors. Method: In a prospective case-control study, we have determined in whole blood of chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients the host response using microarray technology. Results: Chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients exhibited a specific transcriptional program, in which interferon effectors were prominent. The intensity of expression of each signatureM-bM-^@M-^Ys gene was significantly lower in patients who were subsequently cleared of HEV than in patients who were not. Furthermore, in patients who were cleared of HEV, a higher expression of these genes was associated with a longer delay until HEV clearance. Conclusions: The specific transcriptional program determined in chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients suggests an activation of type I interferon response. Intensity of interferon-stimulated genes expression could be useful to forecast the outcome of infection. High expression of interferon-stimulated genes could signify a dysregulation in the interferon response that might favour the persistence of the HEV infection.

Project description:Since the first reports of hepatitis of unknown aetiology occurring in UK children, over 1000 cases have been reported worldwide, including 268 cases in the UK, with the majority younger than 6 years old. Using genomic, proteomic and immunohistochemical methods, we undertook extensive investigation of 28 cases and 136 control subjects. In five cases who underwent liver transplantation, we detected high levels of adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) in the explanted livers. AAV2 was also detected at high levels in blood from 10/11 non-transplanted cases. Low levels of Adenovirus (HAdV) and Human Herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B), both of which enable AAV2 lytic replication, were also found in the five explanted livers and blood from 15/17 and 6/9 respectively, of the 23 non-transplant cases tested. In contrast, AAV2 was detected at low titre in 6/100 whole bloods from child controls from cohorts with presence or absence of hepatitis and/or adenovirus infection. Our data show an association of AAV2 at high titre in blood or liver tissue, with unexplained hepatitis in children infected in the recent HAdV-F41 outbreak. We were unable to find evidence by electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry or proteomics of HAdV or AAV2 viral particles or proteins in explanted livers, suggesting that hepatic pathology is not due to direct lytic infection by either virus. The potential that AAV2, although not previously associated with disease, may, together with HAdV-F41 and/or HHV-6, be causally implicated in the outbreak of unexplained hepatitis, requires further investigation.

Project description:The natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could be divided in different phases by transaminase and HBV replication levels. However, it remains unknown how the intrahepatic transcriptomes in patients are correlated with the clinical phases. Here, we determined the intrahepatic transcriptomes of chronic hepatitis B patients and examined the role of specific groups of genes, including immune-related genes, in the control of hepatitis B virus infection.

Project description:Philip Aston. A New Model for the Dynamics of Hepatitis C Infection: Derivation, Analysis and Implications. Viruses 10, 4 (2018).
We review various existing models of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and show that there are inconsistencies between the models and known behaviour of the infection. A new model for HCV infection is proposed, based on various dynamical processes that occur during the infection that are described in the literature. This new model is analysed, and three steady state branches of solutions are found when there is no stem cell generation of hepatocytes. Unusually, the branch of infected solutions that connects the uninfected branch and the pure infection branch can be found analytically and always includes a limit point, subject to a few conditions on the parameters. When the action of stem cells is included, the bifurcation between the pure infection and infected branches unfolds, leaving a single branch of infected solutions. It is shown that this model can generate various viral load profiles that have been described in the literature, which is confirmed by fitting the model to four viral load datasets. Suggestions for possible changes in treatment are made based on the model.

Project description:Background: Human hepatitis E virus (HEV) usually causes a self-limiting disease, but especially immunocompromised individuals are at risk to develop a chronic and severe course of infection. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (JAKi) are a novel drug class for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic disease (AIRD). As JAKs play a key role in innate immunity, viral infections and reactivations are frequently reported during JAKi treatment in AIRD patients. The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of JAKis on HEV replication in vivo and in authentic cell culture models ex vivo. Methods: We evaluated liver enzymes of an AIRD patient under JAKi therapy with hepatitis E and HEV infections in a cohort of AIRD patients. Experiments with HEV were performed by infection of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) followed by immunofluorescence staining of viral markers and transcriptomic analysis. Results: Acute hepatitis was observed in a patient with AIRD and concomitant HEV infection. No acute infection could be detected in the AIRD cohort. Infection experiments in PHHs displayed an up to 50-fold increase of progeny virus production during JAKi treatment and transcriptomic analysis revealed induction of antiviral programs during infection. This induction was perturbed in the presence of JAKis, concomitant with elevated HEV RNA levels. Conclusion: Therapeutic JAK inhibition increases HEV replication by modulating the HEV-triggered immune response. Therefore, clinical monitoring of HEV infection during JAKi treatment and in case of elevated liver enzymes should be considered.

Project description:Infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) represents a global problem, with over 20 million people infected annually. No specific antiviral drugs are available for treating HEV infection, necessitating the development of novel targeted therapeutics. Here, we report that the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist ifenprodil, a clinically approved drug used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is an HEV inhibitor in liver-derived cells. In vitro investigation demonstrates that ifenprodil suppresses viral protein expression in a dose-dependent manner in human hepatoma cells by inhibiting early stages of viral infection. We also found that ifenprodil modulates host cell intrinsic biological processes distinct from virus-induced innate immunity, inhibiting HEV RNA accumulation in primary human hepatocytes. Finally, the inhibitory effect of ifenprodil in vivo was also tested in rabbits challenged with the HEV-3ra CHN-BJ-R14 strain. Fecal virus shedding was below the limit of detection in two animals for both ribavirin-treated and ifenprodil-treated rabbits compared to vehicle-treated control animals. Our data demonstrate that ifenprodil is an effective anti-HEV compound with potential as a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of HEV infection.
