The hepatitis C viral protein NS5A stabilizes growth-regulatory human transcripts

ABSTRACT: Numerous mammalian proto-oncogene and other growth-regulatory transcripts are upregulated in malignancy due to abnormal mRNA stabilization. In hepatoma cells expressing a hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon, we found that the viral nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), a protein known to bind to viral RNA, also bound specifically to human cellular transcripts that encode regulators of cell growth and apoptosis, and this binding correlated with transcript stabilization. An important subset of human NS5A-target transcripts contained GU-rich elements, sequences known to destabilize mRNA. We found that NS5A bound to GU-rich elements in vitro and in cells. Mutation of the NS5A zinc finger abrogated its GU-rich element-binding and mRNA stabilizing activities. Overall, we identified a molecular mechanism whereby HCV manipulates host gene expression by stabilizing host transcripts in a manner that would promote growth and prevent death of virus-infected cells, allowing the virus to establish chronic infection and lead to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatitis C virus up-regulates B-cell receptor signaling: a novel mechanism for HCV-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders

Project description:B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is essential for the development of B-cells and plays a critical role in B-cell neoplasia. Increasing evidence indicates an association between chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and B-cell lymphoma, however, the mechanisms by which HCV causes B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder are still unclear. Herein, we demonstrate the expression of HCV viral proteins in B-cells of HCV-infected patients and show that HCV up-regulates BCR signaling in human primary B-cells. HCV nonstructural protein NS3/4A interacts with CHK2 and down-regulates its activity, modulating HuR posttranscriptional regulation of a network of target mRNAs associated with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Interestingly, the BCR signaling pathway was found to have the largest number of transcripts with increased association with HuR and was up-regulated by NS3/4A. Our study reveals a previously unidentified role of NS3/4A in regulation of host BCR signaling during HCV infection, contributing to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying HCV-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.

Altering translation allows E. coli to overcome chemically stabilized G-quadruplexes

Project description:G-quadruplex (G4) structures can form in guanine-rich stretches of DNA or RNA and have been found to modulate a variety of cellular processes including replication, transcription, and translation. Most studies on the cellular roles of G4s have focused on eukaryotic systems, with far fewer probing G4s in bacteria. We utilized a chemical-genetic approach to identify genes in Escherichia coli that are important for growth in conditions that stabilize G4s. Our screens reveal translation elongation to be a key process that is impacted by G4 stabilization. Reducing levels of elongation factor Tu or slowing translation elongation with chloramphenicol suppress the effects of G4 stabilization. In contrast, downregulating the levels of certain essential translation termination or ribosome recycling proteins is detrimental to growth in G4-stabilizing conditions. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses demonstrate that ribosome assembly factors and other proteins involved in translation generally are less abundantly expressed under G4-stabilizing conditions. Taken together, the results suggest that RNA G4s present barriers to E. coli growth in G4-stabilizing conditions and reducing the rate of translation can help compensate for G4-related stress.

Inflammation-Induced Stabilization of mRNA in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Project description:<p>During rheumatoid arthritis (RA), TNF activates fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) inducing in a temporal order a constellation of genes, which perpetuate synovial inflammation. Although the molecular mechanisms regulating TNF-induced transcription are well characterized, little is known about the impact of mRNA stability on gene expression and the impact of TNF on decay rates of mRNA transcripts in FLS. To address these issues we performed RNA sequencing and genome-wide analysis of the mRNA stabilome in RA FLS. We found that TNF induces a biphasic gene expression program: initially, the inducible transcriptome consists primarily of unstable transcripts but progressively switches and becomes dominated by very stable transcripts. This temporal switch is due to: a) TNF-induced prolonged stabilization of previously unstable transcripts that enables progressive transcript accumulation over days and b) sustained expression and late induction of very stable transcripts. TNF- induced mRNA stabilization in RA FLS occurs during the late phase of TNF response, is MAPK-dependent, and involves several genes with pathogenic potential such as IL6, CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL8/IL8, CCL2, and PTGS2. These results provide the first insights into genome-wide regulation of mRNA stability in RA FLS and highlight the potential contribution of dynamic regulation of the mRNA stabilome by TNF to chronic synovitis.</p>

Landscape of protein-protein-interactions during hepatitis C virus assembly and release

Project description:Assembly of infectious hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles requires multiple cellular proteins including for instance apolipoprotein E (ApoE). To describe these protein-protein-interactions, we performed an affinity purification mass spectrometry screen (AP-MS) of HCV infected cells. We used functional viral constructs with epitope-tagged envelope protein 2 (E2), protein (p)7 or nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B), as well as cells expressing a tagged variant of ApoE. We also evaluated assembly stage-dependent remodeling of protein complexes by using viral mutants carrying point mutations abrogating particle production at distinct steps of the HCV particle production cascade. Detected were five ApoE binding proteins, 12 p7 binders, seven primary E2-interactors and 24 proteins interacting with NS4B. Cell-derived PREB, STT3B, SPCS2 as well as viral NS2 interacted with both p7 and E2. Only GTF3C3 interacted with E2 and NS4B, highlighting that HCV assembly and replication complexes exhibit largely distinct interactomes. An HCV core protein mutation, preventing core protein decoration of lipid droplets, profoundly altered the E2 interactome. In cells replicating this mutant, E2 interactions with HSPA5, STT3A/B, RAD23A/B and ZNF860 were significantly enhanced, suggesting that E2 protein interactions partly depend on core protein functions. Bioinformatic and functional studies including STRING network analyses, RNA interference, and ectopic expression support a role of Rad23A and Rad23B in facilitating HCV infectious virus production. Both Rad23A and Rad23B are involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD). Collectively, our results provide a map of host proteins interacting with HCV assembly proteins and they give evidence for the involvement of ER protein folding machineries and the ERAD pathway in the late stages of the HCV replication cycle.

IL-3 coordination of myeloblast function by modulating mRNA stability

Project description:The growth factor interleukin-3 (IL-3) promotes the survival and growth of multipotent hematopoietic progenitors and stimulates myelopoiesis. It has also been reported to oppose terminal granulopoiesis and to support leukemic cell growth through autocrine or paracrine mechanisms. We used kinetic microarray, Northern Blotting and bioinformatics analysis of IL-3 dependent myeloblasts to determine whether IL-3 acts in part by regulating the rate of turnover of mRNA transcripts in specific functional pathways. Our results indicate that exposure of myeloblasts to IL-3 causes immediate early stabilization of hundreds of transcripts in pathways relevant to myeloblast function. Examples include transcripts associated with proliferation and leukemic transformation (pik3cd, myb, pim-1), hematopoietic development (cited2), differentiation control (cdkn1a) and RNA processing (BRF1, BRF2). A domain in the 3’-utr of IL-6 that mediates IL-3 responsiveness contains AU-rich elements that bind proteins known to modulate mRNA stability, however a known destabilizing protein (AUF1) is shown not to mediate degradation in the absence of IL-3. These findings support a model of IL-3 action through mRNA stability control and suggest that aberrant stabilization of this network of transcripts could contribute to growth patterns observed in leukemia.

Hepatitis C Virus-induced Differential Transcriptional Traits in Host Cells After Persistent Infection Elimination by Direct-Acting Antivirals In Cell Culture

Project description:Chronic hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) causes liver inflammation and fibrosis, leading to development of severe liver disease, such as cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Approval of direct acting antiviral (DAA) drug combinations has revolutionized chronic HCV therapy, with virus eradication in >98% of the treated patients. The efficacy of these treatments is such that it is formally possible for cured patients to carry formerly infected cells that display irreversible transcriptional alterations directly caused by chronic HCV Infection. Combining differential transcriptomes from two different persistent infection models, we observed a major reversion of infection-related transcripts after complete infection elimination. However, a small number of transcripts were abnormally expressed in formerly infected cells. Comparison of the results obtained in proliferating and growth-arrested cell culture models suggest that permanent transcriptional alterations may be established by several mechanisms. Interestingly, some of these alterations were also observed in the liver biopsies of virologically cured patients. Overall, our data suggest a direct and permanent impact of persistent HCV infection on the host cell transcriptome even after virus elimination, possibly contributing to development of HCC.

Viral lncRNA upregulates multiple A+U-richViral lncRNA upregulates multiple A+U-rich transcripts to promote cell motility and viral dissemination transcripts to promote cell motility and viral dissemination

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs are frequently associated with broad modulation of gene expression and thus provide the cell with the ability to synchronize entire metabolic processes. We used transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to investigate whether the most abundant human cytomegalovirus-encoded lncRNA, RNA2.7, has this characteristic. By comparing RNA2.7 deletion mutants with wild-type virus, RNA2.7 was found to regulate a large number of cellular genes late in infection. Pathway analysis indicated that >100 RNA2.7-regulated cellular genes are associated with promoting cell movement, and ten of the most highly regulated were verified in further experiments. Morphological analysis and live cell tracking showed that RNA2.7 promotes the movement and detachment of infected cells late in infection, and plaque assays using sparse cell monolayers demonstrated that RNA2.7 promotes cell-to-cell dissemination and spread of virus. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that RNA2.7-upregulated mRNAs are relatively A+U-rich, which is a trait associated with transcript instability, and that they are also enriched in motifs associated with mRNA instability. Experiments involving transcriptional inhibition showed that transcripts from four RNA2.7-regulated cellular genes were longer-lived in the presence of RNA2.7. These findings demonstrate that RNA2.7 promotes cell movement and viral dissemination late in infection and indicate that this may be due to general stabilization of A+U-rich transcripts.

Altered m6A Modification of Specific Cellular Transcripts Affects Flaviviridae Infection

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can modulate mRNA fate and thus affect many biological processes. We analyzed m6A modification across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). We found that infection by these viruses in the Flaviviridae family alters m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts, including RIOK3 and CIRBP. During viral infection, the addition of m6A to RIOK3 promotes its translation, while loss of m6A in CIRBP promotes alternative splicing. Importantly, we found that viral activation of innate immune sensing or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response contributes to the changes in m6A modification in RIOK3 and CIRBP, respectively. Further, several transcripts with infection-altered m6A profiles, including RIOK3 and CIRBP, encode proteins that influence DENV, ZIKV, and HCV infection. Overall, this work reveals that cellular signaling pathways activated during viral infection lead to alterations in m6A modification of host mRNAs to regulate infection.

MeRIP-seq for host response to Flaviviridae infection

Project description:The modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) affects rates of translation and degradation of mRNA transcripts. We analyzed m6A across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) using MeRIP-seq. We used the uninfected replicates, among which we would expect little biological variation in methylation, as negative controls to validate statistical methods for the detection of m6A changes in MeRIP-seq data. Applying validated statistical methods, we found that innate immune response to Flaviviridae viruses alters m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts compared to uninfected controls. Finally, we find that these changes in m6A can in turn affect splicing or translation of genes relevant to infection.
