Relative timing of type I interferon response and virus replication determines disease outcome during MERS-CoV infection

ABSTRACT: Type 1 interferons (IFN-I) generally protect mammalian hosts from virus infections, but in some cases, IFN-I is pathogenic. Because IFN-I is protective, it is commonly used to treat virus infections for which no specific approved drug or vaccine is available. The Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is such an infection, yet little is known about the role of IFN-I in this setting. Here we show that IFN-I signaling is protective during MERS-CoV infection. Blocking IFN-I signaling resulted in delayed virus clearance, enhanced neutrophil infiltration and impaired MERS-CoV-specific T cell responses. Notably, IFN-I administration within 1-day post infection (before virus titers peak) protected mice from lethal infection, despite a decrease in ISG (interferon stimulated gene) and inflammatory cytokine gene expression. In contrast, delayed IFN-I treatment failed to effectively inhibit virus replication, increased infiltration and activation of monocyte-macrophages and neutrophils into the lungs and enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, resulting in fatal pneumonia in an otherwise sub-lethal infection. Together, these results suggest that the relative timing of the IFN-I response and maximal virus replication is key in determining outcomes, at least in infected mice. By extension, IFN-I or combination therapy may need to be used cautiously to treat virus infections in clinical settings.

Interferon signaling in the nasal epithelium distinguishes among lethal and common cold respiratory viruses and is critical for viral clearance

Project description:All respiratory viruses establish primary infections in the nasal epithelium, where efficient innate immune induction may prevent dissemination to the lower airway and thus minimize pathogenesis. Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) cause a range of pathologies, but the host and viral determinants of disease during common cold versus lethal HCoV infections are poorly understood. We model the initial site of infection using primary nasal epithelial cells cultured at air-liquid interface (ALI). HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63 and human rhinovirus-16 are common cold-associated viruses that exhibit unique features in this model: early induction of antiviral interferon (IFN) signaling, IFN-mediated viral clearance, and preferential replication at nasal airway temperature (33ºC) which confers muted host IFN responses. In contrast, lethal SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV encode antagonist proteins that prevent IFN-mediated clearance in nasal cultures. Our study identifies features shared among common cold-associated viruses, highlighting nasal innate immune responses as predictive of infection outcomes and nasally-directed IFNs as potential therapeutics.

Type-I interferon signatures in SARS-CoV-2 infected Huh7 cells

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global health emergency. A key feature of COVID-19 is dysregulated Interferon-response. Type-I interferon (IFN-I) is one of the earliest antiviral innate immune responses following viral infection and plays a significant role in pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, using a proteomics-based approach, we identified that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces delayed and dysregulated IFN-I signaling in Huh7 cells. We demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 is able to inhibit RIG-I mediated IFN- production. Our results also confirm the recent findings that IFN-I pretreatment is able to reduce susceptibility of Huh7 cells to SARS-CoV-2, but not post-treatment. Senescent Huh7 cells in spite of showing accentuated IFN-I response were more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and SARS-CoV-2 effectively inhibited IFIT1 in these cells. Proteomic comparison between SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV revealed a distinct differential regulatory signature of interferon-related proteins emphasizing that therapeutic strategies based on observations in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV should be used with caution. Our findings provide a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 regulation of cellular interferon response and a perspective on its use as a treatment. Characterization of the role of different interferon stimulated genes on the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis may direct novel antiviral strategies.

Cytokine stimulation systems approach demonstrates differences in innate and pro-inflammatory host responses between genetically distinct MERS-CoV isolates.

Project description:Background: The recent emergence of a novel coronavirus in the Middle East (designated MERS-CoV) is a reminder of the zoonotic potential of coronaviruses and the severe disease these etiologic agents can cause in humans. Clinical features of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) include severe acute pneumonia and renal failure that is highly reminiscent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by SARS-CoV. The host response is a key component of highly pathogenic respiratory virus infection. Here, we computationally analyzed gene expression changes in a human airway epithelial cell line infected with two genetically distinct MERS-CoV strains obtained from human patients, MERS-CoV-EMC (designated EMC) and MERS-CoV-London (designated LoCoV). Results: Using topological techniques, such as persistence homology and filtered clustering, we characterized the host response system to the different MERS-CoVs, with LoCoV inducing early kinetic changes, between 3 and 12 hours post infection, compared to EMC. Robust transcriptional changes distinguished the two MERS-CoV strains predominantly at the late time points. Combining statistical analysis of infection and cytokine-stimulated treatment transcriptomics, we identified differential innate and pro-inflammatory responses between the two virus strains, including up-regulation of extracellular remodeling genes following LoCoV infection and differential pro-inflammatory responses between the two strains. Conclusions: These transcriptional differences may be the result of amino acid differences in viral proteins known to modulate innate immunity against MERS infection. Triplicate wells of Calu-3 2B4 cells were infected with Human Coronavirus EMC 2012 (HCoV-EMC) or time-matched mock infected. Cells were harvested at 0, 3, 7, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-infection (hpi), RNA extracted and transcriptomics analyzed by microarray.

CRISPR screens identify candidate host factors for SARS and MERS coronavirus infection

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are zoonotic pathogens that can cause severe respiratory disease in humans. Identification of the host factors that are necessary for viral infection and virus-induced cell death is critical to our understanding of the viral life cycle and can potentially aid the development of new treatment options. Here, we report CRISPR screen results of both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infections in derivatives of the human hepatoma cell line Huh7. Our screens identified the known entry receptors ACE2 for SARS-CoV and DPP4 for MERS-CoV. Additionally, the SARS-CoV screen uncovered several components of the NF-κB signaling pathway (CARD10, BCL10, MALT1, MAP3K7, IKBKG), while the MERS-CoV screen revealed the polypyrimidine tract-binding protein PTBP1, the ER scramblase TMEM41B, furin protease and several transcriptional and chromatin regulators as candidate factors for viral replication and/or virus-induced cell death. Together, we present several known and unknown coronavirus host factors that are of interest for further investigation.

MIB-MS analysis of MERS-CoV and SARS-COV-2 infected cells.

Project description:Host kinases play essential roles in the host cell cycle, innate immune signaling, the stress response to viral infection, and inflammation. Previous work has demonstrated coronaviruses specifically target kinase cascades to subvert host cell responses to infection and rely upon host kinase activity to phosphorylate viral proteins to enhance replication. Given the number of kinase inhibitors that are already FDA approved to treat cancers, fibrosis, and other human disease, they represent an attractive class of compounds to repurpose for host targeted therapies against emerging coronavirus infections. To further understand the host kinome response to betacoronavirus infection we employed multiplex inhibitory bead mass spectrometry (MIB-MS) following MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infection of human lung epithelial cell lines. Our MIB-MS analyses revealed activation of mTOR and MAPK signaling following MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively.

SARS-CoV-2 Evades immune detection in Alveolar Macrophages

Project description:Respiratory infections, like the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus, target the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract. However, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are tissue-resident macrophages located within the alveoli of the lung and they play a key role in the early phases of an immune response to respiratory infections. We expect that AMs are the first immune cells to encounter the SARS-CoV-2 and therefore their reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection will have a profound impact upon the outcome of the infection. Interferons (IFNs) are antiviral cytokines and the first cytokine produced upon viral infection. Here, we challenge AMs with SARS-CoV-2 and to our surprise find that the AMs are incapable of recognising SARS-CoV-2 and produce IFN. This is in contrast to respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus and Sendai virus. Callenge of AMs with those viruses resulted in a robust IFN response. The absence of IFN production by AMs upon challenge could explain the initial asymptotic phase of SARS-CoV-2 infections and argues against the AMs as the source of proinflamatory cytokines later in infection.

The N-terminal Region of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Accessory Protein 8b is Essential for Enhanced Virulence of an Attenuated Murine Coronavirus

Project description:Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a beta coronavirus that emerged in 2012, causing severe pneumonia and renal failure. MERS-CoV encodes five accessory proteins. Some of them have been shown to interfere with host antiviral immune response. However, the roles of protein 8b in innate immunity and viral virulence was rarely studied. Here, we introduced individual MERS-CoV accessory protein genes into the genome of an attenuated murine coronavirus (Mouse hepatitis virus, MHV), respectively and found accessory protein 8b could enhance viral replication in vivo and in vitro, and increase the lethality of infected mice. RNA-seq analysis revealed that protein 8b could significantly inhibit type I interferon production (IFN-I) and innate immune response in mice infected with MHV expressing protein 8b. We also found that MERS-CoV protein 8b could initiate from multiple internal methionine sites and at least three protein variants were identified. Residues 1-23 of protein 8b was demonstrated to be responsible for increased virulence in vivo. In addition, the inhibitory effect on IFN-I of protein 8b might not contribute to its virulence enhancement as aa1-23 deletion did not affect IFN-I production in vitro and in vivo. Next, we also found that protein 8b was localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi membrane in infected cells, which was disrupted by C-terminal region aa 88-112 deletion. This study will provide new insight into the pathogenesis of MERS-CoV infection.

Transcriptomic analysis of the Novel Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (African green monkey, Vero E6 cells)

Project description:We will use the EMC/2012 strain of the novel beta Coronavirus called Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). It was initially passaged on Vero E6 cells in Saudi Arabia before being sequenced at the Erasmus Medical College in Rotterdam, Netherlands by Dr Ron Fouchier. We propose to perform a time course of infection of hCoV-EMC on MRC5 cells (Human Lung origin) and Vero cells (African Green Monkey Kidney cells). Both cell lines readily grow and replicate the virus. Importantly these cell lines show signs of Cytopathic effect (CPE), such as cell rounding and release from the petri dish that coincide with time points high virus replication demonstrating the effects of virus replication on the cells. Transcriptomic analysis will be performed after infection with MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV (Urbani strain) to compare the host gene induction that occurs during infection. MRC5 and Vero E6 cells will be infected at an MOI of 0.1 and 3 and RNA harvested from cells at 24 and 48 post infection. RNA will be processed for library creation and sequenced on an Illumina Hiseq. Sequencing reads will be analyzed and compared across the time course and between each virus to identify common response pathways induced during infection as well as unique pathways specific to each virus.
