Altered m6A Modification of Specific Cellular Transcripts Affects Flaviviridae Infection

ABSTRACT: 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.

Transcriptional and Translational Dynamics of Zika and Dengue Virus Infection

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are members of the Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses and cause severe disease in humans. ZIKV and DENV share over 90% of their genome sequences, however the clinical features of Zika and dengue infections are very different reflecting tropism and cellular effects. Here, we used simultaneous RNA sequencing and ribosome footprinting to define the transcriptional and translational dynamics of ZIKV and DENV infection in human neuronal progenitor cells (hNPCs). The gene expression data showed induction of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS) and the translation-activating PIM1 kinase indicating an increase in RNA translation capacity. The data also reveal activation of different cell stress reponses, with ZIKV triggering a BACH1/2 redox program, and DENV activating the ETF/CHOP endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress program. The RNA translation data highlight activation of polyamine metabolism through changes in key enzymes and their regulators. This pathway is needed for eIF5A hypusination and has been implicated viral translation and replication. Concerning the viral RNA genomes, ribosome occupancy readily identifies highly translated open reading frames and a novel upstream ORF (uORF) in the DENV genome. Together, our data highlight both the cellular stress response and also the activation of RNA translation and polyamine metabolism during DENV and ZIKV infection.

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.

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.

RNA sequencing of Aedes mosquitoes infected with Zika virus (ZIKV) or Dengue virus (DENV)

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV), a pathogen of global health concern, is transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. However, the molecular interactions between the vector and the virus remain largely unexplored. We demonstrated that ZIKV and dengue virus (DENV) have similar tropism and infection kinetics in two mosquito strains with different degrees of susceptibility to infection. Comparison of Aedes aegypti’s molecular responses to ZIKV and DENV infection indicated that around 40% of the mosquito’s infection-responsive transcriptome is virus-specific. Regulated genes also included key factors of the mosquito’s anti-viral immunity, pointing to the possible involvement of the Toll innate immune pathway. Comparison of ZIKV and DENV infection-responsive transcriptome data to those for yellow fever virus and West Nile virus identified 26 genes likely to play key roles in virus infection of Aedes mosquitoes. Through reverse genetic analyses, we showed that the Toll and the Jak/Stat innate immune pathways mediate increased resistance to ZIKV infection, and the virus use vATPase and inosine-5’-monophosphate dehydrogenase as mosquito’s host factors.

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.

N6-methyladenosine modification is not a general trait of positive-sense RNA viral genomes

Project description:<p>Despite the nuclear localization of the m6A machinery, the genomes of multiple exclusively-cytoplasmic RNA viruses, such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and dengue (DENV), are reported to be extensively m6A-modified. However, these findings are mostly based on m6A-seq, an antibody-dependent technique with a high rate of false positives. Here, we addressed the presence of m6A in CHIKV and DENV RNAs. For this, we combined m6A-seq and the antibody-independent SELECT and nanopore direct RNA sequencing techniques with functional, molecular, and mutagenesis studies. Following this comprehensive analysis, we found no evidence of m6A modification in CHIKV or DENV transcripts. Furthermore, depletion of key components of the host m6A machinery did not affect CHIKV or DENV infection. Moreover, CHIKV or DENV infection had no effect on the m6A machinery’s localization. Our results challenge the prevailing notion that m6A modification is a general feature of cytoplasmic RNA viruses and underscore the importance of validating RNA modifications with orthogonal approaches.</p>

N6-methyladenosine modification is not a general trait of viral RNA genomes [Dengue]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal RNA modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, is described to be abundantly present in the genomes of cytoplasmic-replicating RNA viruses. Yet, how the host nuclear m6A writer has access to the viral RNAs in the cytoplasm and what are the associated biological consequences remain unknown. Here, we comprehensively addressed these questions by combining antibody-dependent (m6A-seq) and antibody-independent (SELECT and nanopore direct RNA sequencing) methods on the cytoplasmic-replicating Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) RNA, and found no evidence of m6A modifications. Moreover, depletion of m6A modification machinery components did not affect CHIKV infection, and CHIKV infection did not alter their cellular localization. Consistent with these observations, no m6A modifications were found in the RNA genome of the dengue virus (DENV), another cytoplasmic-replicating virus. Our results challenge the idea that m6A modification is a general trait of cytoplasmic-replicating RNA viruses and stress the need of confirming antibody-dependent detection of m6A modifications with orthogonal antibody-independent methods.
