Systems analysis of viral infection in the embryonic central nervous system (CNS)

ABSTRACT: A new mouse model for congenital Zika infection in a wildtype, immunocompetent background employing intraplacental infection resulted in productive infection of embryonic brains and features of microcephaly during early development (E10.5-16.5). Gross morphological characterization showed translational relevance for understanding the viral neuropathogenesis and Zika-associated microcephaly in humans. Thus, an integrated, multi-omics (RNA-sequencing, proteomics) analysis of fetal brain tissues was performed to understand pathways perturbed by viral infection in developing brains. These analyses identified virus-induced defects in cell cycle progression and neurodevelopment, in S-phase DNA replication and NEUROD2/TBR2 transcription factor cascades, respectively. Among the most significant responses was induction of innate immune programs in ZIKV-infected brains, including immunoproteasome activation and MHC-I antigen display associated with immune cell infiltration and neuronal death during early development. Identification of specific components within major pathways contributing to viral infection-induced effects on neurodevelopment provides novel targets for therapeutic intervention against neurotropic infections and ZIKV-associated microcephaly specifically.

Integrative systems biology characterizes immune-mediated neurodevelopmental changes in murine Zika Virus microcephaly

Molecular Signatures Associated with ZIKV Exposure in Human Cortical Neural Progenitors and Astrocytes

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes microcephaly and has been linked to other brain abnormalities. How ZIKV impairs brain development and function remains elusive. Here we systematically profiled transcriptomes of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and astrocytes exposed to Asian ZIKVC, African ZIKVM, and Dengue virus (DENV). DENV causes distinct gene expression changes; and ZIKV has a broader impact on the expression of gene involved in DNA replication and repair. While overall expression profiles are similar, ZIKVC, but not ZIKVM, induces upregulation of viral response genes. Upon ZIKV infection, astrocytes exhibit more prominent transcriptome changes than hNPCs, particularly enriching genes related to inflammatory response and cytokine production pathways. Our analyses reveal cell-type- and strain-specific molecular signatures associated with ZIKV infection, and identify astrocytes as a major direct target of ZIKV. Further investigation of ZIKV-host interactions based our transcriptomic datasets may help to illuminate neural virulence determinants of ZIKV in patients.

Differentiation enhances Zika virus infection in neuronal brain cells

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging, mosquito-borne pathogen associated with a widespread 2015–2016 epidemic in the Western Hemisphere and a proven cause of microcephaly and other fetal brain defects in infants born to infected mothers. ZIKV infections have been also linked to other neurological illnesses in infected adults and children, including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and meningoencephalitis, but the viral pathophysiology behind those conditions remains poorly understood. Here we investigated ZIKV infectivity in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, both undifferentiated and following differentiation with retinoic acid. We perform RNA seq, and global trancriptome analysis to corroborate the effect of retinoic acid in SH-SY5Y cells. Then we analyze the virus infection in differentiated and undifferntiated cells. We found that multiple ZIKV strains, representing both the prototype African and contemporary Asian epidemic lineages, were able to replicate in SH-SY5Y cells. Differentiation with resultant expression of mature neuron markers increased infectivity in these cells, and the extent of infectivity correlated with degree of differentiation. Enhanced ZIKV infectivity in a neural cell line following differentiation may contribute to viral neuropathogenesis in the developing or mature central nervous system.

Analysis of Gene Expression in the Recovered Mouse Brain following Zika Virus Infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. ZIKV can be transmitted from pregnant woman to fetus and causes microcephaly and neuronal defects. Patients infected with ZIKV showed increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines compared to healthy individuals and neurological changes even after recovery. However, the detailed mechanism of how neuronal defects occurs after recovery from ZIKV infection has never been investigated in vivo. Here, we found that viral RNA loads were highest in mouse brain tissue 7 days after ZIKV infection and were equivalent to uninfected controls after 21 days, suggesting that mice recovered after 21 days of ZIKV infection. To explore the pathological mechanisms of neuronal defects after recovery from ZIKV infection, we performed RNA-sequencing in mouse cerebral cortex obtained 7 days and 21 days after ZIKV infection.

Discovery of Drug Candidates that Inhibit and Eliminate Zika Virus Infection in Fetal and Adult Brain

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infects fetal and adult human brains, and is associated with serious neurological complications including microcephaly and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). To date, no prophylactic or therapeutic treatment is available to prevent or treat ZIKV infection. Here, we performed a high content chemical screen using a library containing FDA-approved drugs or drug candidates. Two compounds, hippeastrine hydrobromide (HH) and amodiaquine dihydrochloride dihydrate (AQ), were discovered to inhibit ZIKV infection in human cortical neuron progenitor cells (hNPCs). HH was further validated to inhibit ZIKV infection and to rescue ZIKV-induced growth and differentiation defects in hNPCs and human fetal-like forebrain organoids. Finally, HH and AQ suppressed ZIKV infection in adult mouse brain in vivo. Strikingly, HH and AQ fully rescued the severe limb paralysis syndrome developed in ZIKV infected adult mice. This study identifies drug candidates for treatment of ZIKV infection and ZIKV-related neurological complications in fetal and adult patients.

Inter and intra-lineage genetic diversity of Zika virus differs for American isolates

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. ZIKV infections are associated with neurodevelopmental deficiencies termed Congenital Zika Syndrome. ZIKV strains are grouped into three phylogenetic lineages: East African, West African, and Asian, which contains the American lineage. RNA virus genomes exist as genetically-related sequences. The heterogeneity of these viral populations is implicated in viral fitness, and genome diversity is correlated to virulence. This study examines genetic diversity of representative ZIKV strains from all lineages utilizing next generation sequencing (NGS). Inter-lineage diversity results indicate that ZIKV lineages differ broadly from each other; however, intra-lineage comparisons of American ZIKV strains isolated from human serum or placenta show differences in diversity when compared to ZIKVs from Asia and West Africa. This study describes the first comprehensive NGS analysis of all ZIKV lineages and posits that sub-consensus-level diversity may provide a framework for understanding ZIKV fitness during infection.

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection. To identify novel antiviral targets and to elucidate the mechanisms by which ZIKV exploits the host cell machinery to support sustained replication, we analyzed the transcriptomic landscape of human microglia, fibroblast, embryonic kidney, and monocyte-derived macrophage cell lines before and after ZIKV infection.

Proteomic profiles of ZIKV-positive placentas of fetuses with microcephaly

Project description:Here we use a proteomic approach to study the role of the placenta in ZIKV-induced microcephaly and the mechanisms of ZIKV to cross the placental barrier. Samples were separated into three groups: an uninfected control group (ZIKV-CZS-), a group of placentas infected by ZIKV with normal neonates (ZIKV+CZS-), and a group of placentas infected by ZIKV that developed microcephaly in newborns (ZIKV+CZS+). Zika virus causes DNA damage and impairs gene expression and mRNA translation during infection of the placenta. Processes related to viral transcytosis, like endocytosis, autophagy and disruption of actin filament were also observed in CZS-infected placentas, which could lead to a higher virus infiltration. Unncontrolled maternal immune response as well as greater expression of cellular adhesion proteins in the decidua could lead to a disruption of tolerance during pregnancy and induction of neurological malformation of the neonates
