Ferret animal model of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome phlebovirus for human lethal infection and pathogenesis

ABSTRACT: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome phlebovirus (SFTSV), listed in the WHO most dangerous pathogens, has 12-30% fatality rates with a characteristic thrombocytopenia syndrome. With a majority of clinically diagnosed SFTSV patients older than ~50 years, age is a critical risk factor for SFTSV morbidity and mortality. Here, we report an age-dependent ferret model of SFTSV infection and pathogenesis that fully recapitulates the clinical manifestations of human infections. While young adult ferrets (≤2 years old) did not show any clinical symptoms and mortality, SFTSV-infected aged ferrets (≥4 years old) demonstrated severe thrombocytopenia, reduced white blood cells, and high fever with 93% mortality rate. Moreover, significantly higher viral load was observed in aged ferrets. Transcriptome analysis of SFTSV-infected young ferrets revealed strong interferon-mediated anti-viral signaling, whereas inflammatory immune responses were markedly upregulated and persisted in aged ferrets. Thus, this immunocompetent age-dependent ferret model should be useful for anti-SFTSV therapy and vaccine development.

Age-dependent pathogenic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection in ferrets

Project description:While the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in healthy people does not differ significantly among age groups, those aged 65 years or older exhibit strikingly higher COVID-19 mortality compared to younger individuals. To further understand differing COVID-19 manifestations in patients of different ages, three age groups of ferrets are infected with SARS-CoV-2. Although SARS-CoV-2 is isolated from all ferrets regardless of age, aged ferrets (≥3 years old) shows higher viral loads, longer nasal virus shedding, and more severe lung inflammatory cell infiltration and clinical symptoms compared to juvenile (≤6 months) and young adult (1-2 years) groups. Furthermore, direct contact ferrets co-housed with the virus-infected aged group shed more virus than direct-contact ferrets co-housed with virus-infected juvenile or young adult ferrets. Transcriptome analysis of aged ferret lungs reveals strong enrichment of gene sets related to type I interferon, activated T cells, and M1 macrophage responses, mimicking the gene expression profile of severe COVID-19 patients. Thus, SARS-CoV-2-infected aged ferrets highly recapitulate COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms and are useful for understanding age-associated infection, transmission, and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.

Serum Proteomics of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Patients

Project description:Dabie bandavirus, also termed as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), was first isolated in China in 2010. At this time, the virus was found to have spread to South Korea, Japan, and other countries. A high case fatality rate is reported for SFTS, ranging from 12–50% within various sources. Several omics for clinical studies among SFTS patients as well as studies of cultured SFTSV have attempted to characterize the relevant molecular biology and epidemiology of the disease. However, a global serum proteomics analysis among SFTS patients has not yet been reported to date. Thrombocytopenia and multiple organ failure are the major immediate causes of death among SFTS patients. In this study, serum proteomic changes related to thrombocytopenia, abnormal immune response, and inflammatory activation were documented in SFTS patients. These findings provide useful information forunderstanding the clinical manifestations of SFTS.

Development of functional anti-Gn nanobodies specific for SFTSV based on next generation sequencing and proteomics

Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an acute infectious disease caused by novel bunyavirus (SFTSV), with a mortality rate of 6.3% ~ 30%. To date, there is no specific treatment for SFTS. Previously, our studies demonstrate that SFTSV surface glycoprotein (Glycoprotein N, Gn) is a potential target for the development of SFTS vaccine or therapeutic antibodies, and anti-Gn neutralizing antibodies play a protective role in SFTS infection. Compared with traditional antibodies, nanobodies from camelids have various advantages including small molecular weight, high affinity, low immunogenicity and convenient production by gene engineering, etc. In this study, we combined next generation sequencing (NGS) with proteomics technology and bioinformatics analysis to high-throughput screen monoclonal anti-Gn nanobodies from camel immunized with Gn protein. We identified 19 anti-Gn monoclonal nanobody sequences, and selected 6 of them for recombinant protein expression and purification. Among these 6 anti-Gn nanobodies, nanobody 57493 was validated to be highly specific for Gn.

Induction and suppression of Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks antiviral RNA interference responses by arthropod-borne RNA viruses (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne bunyavirus that causes severe clinical symptoms and mortality in humans. Haemaphysalis longicornis tick has been identified as the competent vector for SFTSV transmission. Although antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in insects has been well documented, the degree to which RNAi contributes to antiviral defense in ticks is still largely elusive. In this study, utilizing arthropod-borne RNA viruses, including SFTSV, we find abundant virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are induced in H. longicornis after infection through either microinjection or natural blood-feeding. Furthermore, we identify a Dicer2-like homolog, the core protein of antiviral RNAi pathway, in H. longicornis and knocking down this gene exacerbated virus amplification. To counteract this antiviral RNAi of ticks, viruses have evolved suppressors of RNAi (VSRs). Here, we show that reduced viral replication inversely correlated with the accumulation of vsiRNAs in ticks after infection with recombinant sindbis virus (SINV) expressing heterologous VSR proteins. Elucidating the antiviral RNAi pathway of ticks by model arthropod-borne RNA viruses in vivo is critical to understanding the virus-host interaction, providing a feasible intervention strategy to control tick-borne arbovirus transmission.

A longitudinal sampling study of transcriptomic and epigenetic profiles in patients with thrombocytopenia syndrome

Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a new tick-borne infectious disease caused by a new SFTS virus (SFTSV). Due to its 12%-50% high fatality rate and the possibility of pandemic transmission, as well as no specific antiviral drugs for the treatment so far, SFTSV has been listed as one of the top 10 priority infectious diseases by the World Health Organization. Currently, there are rare studies of transcriptomic analysis for the patients infected with SFTSV, which makes it difficult to deeply understand the life cyle and pathogenicity of this virus. To explore the differences of transcripts after SFTSV infection, we performed a longitudinal sampling study to systematically investigate the chronological changes of viral load and transcriptomic and epigenetic characterization using white blood cells from SFTSV patients. The results showed significant changes in the expression of some genes from onset to recovery of SFTSV infection. Moreover, these differentially expressed genes showed good consistency in the three patients at different stages of treatment, which may contribute to the pathophysiology of SFTSV and thus lead to a breakthrough in SFTSV therapy. Moreover, by m6A-seq, we found some genes that might be regulated by m6A. This study in transcript changes and RNA modification may open a brand new direction to our understanding of SFTSV and play an important role in the drugs discovery for effective treatment.

Molecular signatures of inflammatory profile and B-cell function in SFTS patients

Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome banyangvirus (SFTSV) induces immunopathogenic disease with high fatality rate. Despite serious health concern, the mechanisms underlying clinical manifestations are largely unknown. Here, we applied targeted proteomics and single-cell transcriptomics analyses to examine the differential immune landscape of SFTS patient blood. Serum immunoprofiling distinguished Low-risk and High-risk clusters of SFTS patients with differential inflammatory cytokine levels, which matched with disease severity. Single-cell transcriptomics analysis of SFTS patient blood at different infection state showed pronounced expansion of B cells with the alteration of B-cell subset populations, specifically in fatal patients. Furthermore, plasma cells were the primary reservoir of SFTSV replication with the downregulation of IFN pathway. This study identifies not only the molecular signatures of serum inflammatory profile and B cell lineage population, but also plasma cells as the viral reservoir in SFTSV-induced fatal patients, suggesting the alteration of B cell function linked to SFTS lethal infection.

Absence of host innate immune responses in SARS-CoV-infected ferrets upon subsequent challenge

Project description:To further investigate the underlying mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pathogenesis and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of potential drugs and vaccines it is necessary to use an animal model that is highly representative of the human condition in terms of respiratory anatomy, physiology and clinical sequelae. The ferret, Mustela putorius furo, supports SARS-CoV replication and displays many of the symptoms and pathological features seen in SARS-CoV-infected humans. We have recently established a SARS-CoV infection-challenge ferret platform for use in evaluating potential therapeutics to treat SARS. The main objective of the current study was to extend our previous results and identify early host immune responses upon infection and determine immune correlates of protection upon challenge with SARS-CoV in ferrets. Keywords: time course This study is a simple time course (58 day) examination of host responses in 35 SARS-CoV (TOR2) infected ferrets with the addition of a challenge inoculation of SARS CoV (TOR2) at day 29 post infection. Three mock-infected ferrets are included as negative controls. Due to the unavailability of ferret microarrays, Affymetrix Canine 2.0 oligonucleotide arrays were chosen following sequence analysis of our ferret cDNA library (~5000 clones) and demonstration of high levels of homology (>80%) between dog and ferret.
