Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is a global respiratory disease, which annually leads to 3-5 million cases of severe illness, resulting in 290,000-650,000 deaths. Additionally, during the past century, four global IAV pandemics have claimed millions of human lives. The epithelial lining of the trachea plays a vital role during IAV infection, both as point of viral entry and replication as well as in the antiviral immune response. Tracheal tissue is generally inaccessible from human patients, which makes animal models crucial for the study of the tracheal host immune response. In this study, pigs were inoculated with swine- or human-adapted H1N1 IAV to gain insight into how host adaptation of IAV shapes the innate immune response during infection. In-depth multi-omics analysis (global proteomics and RNA sequencing) of the host response in upper and lower tracheal tissue was conducted, and results were validated by microfluidic qPCR. Additionally, a subset of samples was selected for histopathological examination. A classical innate antiviral immune response was induced in both upper and lower trachea after infection with either swine- or human-adapted IAV with upregulation of genes and higher abundance of proteins associated with viral infection and recognition, accompanied by a significant induction of interferon stimulated genes with corresponding higher proteins concentrations. Infection with the swine-adapted virus induced a much stronger immune response compared to infection with a human-adapted IAV strain in the lower trachea, which could be a consequence of a higher viral load and a higher degree of inflammation. Central components of the JAK-STAT pathway, apoptosis, pyrimidine metabolism, and the cytoskeleton were significantly altered depending on infection with swine- or human-adapted virus and might be relevant mechanisms in relation to antiviral immunity against putative zoonotic IAV. Based on our findings, we hypothesize that during host adaptation, IAV evolve to modulate important host cell elements to favor viral infectivity and replication.

Project description:Influenza A viruses (IAV) use diverse mechanisms to interfere with cellular gene expression and thus limit the antiviral responses and/or promote viral replication. Although many RNAseq studies have documented IAV-induced changes in host mRNA abundance, few were designed to allow an accurate quantification of changes in host mRNA splicing. Here we show that IAV infection of human lung cells induces widespread alterations of cellular splicing, with an overall increase in exon inclusion and decrease in intron retention. Over half of the mRNAs that show differential splicing undergo no significant changes in abundance or in their 3’ end termination site, suggesting that IAV can directly manipulate cellular splicing independently of other transcriptional changes. Cross-analysis of the alternative splicing profiles of IAV-infected and RED-depleted cells demonstrates a partial phenocopying of the RED-knock down phenotype in infected cells, suggesting that hijacking of the RED factor by IAVs to promote splicing of their own mRNAs could account for a minor subset of splicing changes in infected cells. All our results can be expored through a Shiny user friendly interface (http://virhostnet.prabi.fr:3838/shinyapps/flu-splicing).

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) infection causes acute respiratory disease with potential severe and deadly complications. Viral pathogenesis is not only due to the direct cytopathic effect of viral infections but also to the exacerbated host inflammatory responses. Influenza viral infection can activate various host signaling pathways that function to activate or inhibit viral replication. Our previous studies have shown that a receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA plays an important role in the replication of influenza viruses in vitro, but its biological roles and functional mechanisms in influenza viral infection have not been characterized. Here we show that IAV infection strongly activates TrkA in vitro and in vivo. Using a chemical-genetic approach to specifically control TrkA kinase activity through a small molecule compound 1NMPP1 in a TrkA knock-in (TrkA KI) mouse model, we show that 1NMPP1-mediated TrkA inhibition completely protected mice from a lethal IAV infection by significantly reducing viral loads and lung inflammation. Using primary lung cells isolated from the TrkA KI mice, we show that specific TrkA inhibition reduced viral RNA synthesis in airway epithelial cells (AECs) but not in alveolar macrophages (AMs). Transcriptomic analysis confirmed the cell-type-specific role of TrkA in viral RNA synthesis, and identified distinct gene expression patterns under the TrkA regulation in IAV-infected AECs and AMs. Among the TrkA-activated targets are various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL6, IL-1, IFNs, CCL-5, and CXCL9, supporting the role of TrkA in mediating lung inflammation. Indeed, TrkA inhibitor 1NMPP1 administered after the peak of IAV replication, though had no effect on viral load, was able to decrease lung inflammation and provide partial protection in mice. Taken together, our results have demonstrated for the first time an important biological role of TrkA signaling in IAV infection, identified its cell-type-specific contribution to viral replication, and revealed its functional mechanism in virus-induced lung inflammation. This study suggests TrkA as a novel host target for therapeutics against influenza viral disease.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major respiratory pathogen that causes severe illness and mortality worldwide. IAV critically depends on host factors for multiple functions that are not encoded by the viral genome. Notably, the IAV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) complex lacks intrinsic 7-methylguanosine (m7G) capping activity and instead “snatches” the 5’m7G caps and the adjacent 10-15nts of host transcripts to prime viral mRNA production, allowing viral transcripts to be recognized by the host translation machinery. We developed a new approach to simultaneously assay the 5’ ends of host and viral transcripts in infected cells and identify the host capsnatch origins for viral mRNAs. We used this technique to study the progression of IAV infection in nuclear and cytoplasmic compartiments and determined that the RdRP complex has specific sequence preferences that results in preferential capsnatching and avoidance of sub-populations of host RNAs, which can be reverted by the addition of a cap-snatch inhibitor. Notably, genes avoided by CapSnatch Seq have biological functions enriched for mRNA processing, translation, and viral replication. This selectivity and functional enrichment of avoided genes is conserved among capsnatching viruses including Influenza B Virus and Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus, despite differences in RdRP domains and subcellular locations of RNA substrates. This suggests that this preference convergently arose as a viral strategy to allow cap-snatching viruses to avoid targeting genes necessary for its own replication.

Project description:Viral infections affecting the upper or lower respiratory tract induce mucin production in the epithelial surfaces of the respiratory cells. However, a little is known about how mucins are produced on the surfaces of respiratory epithelial cells and affects viral replication. In the course of the investigation of the cellular responses in the early stage of Influenza A virus (IAV) infection, we found that two miRNAs, miR-221 and miR-17-3p, which target the mRNA of GalNAc transferase 3 (GALNT3), are rapidly down-regulated as early as 1.5 h post-infection. To understand the early host cell responses to the IAV infection, we performed miRNA microarray analysis using a human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line, A549 cells, infected with influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/34 H1N1 (PR8) virus. We isolated the cellular RNAs at 0.5, 1.5 and 4.5 h post-infection and detected significant changes in the global profile of miRNA expression after infection with IAV. mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Each sample was run in duplicate.

Project description:Influenza A Virus (IAV) is a recurring respiratory virus with antiviral therapies of limited use. Understanding host proteins essential for IAV infection can identify targets for alternative host-directed therapies (HDTs). Using affinity purification-mass spectrometry and global phosphoproteomic and protein abundance analyses with three IAV strains (pH1N1, H3N2, H5N1) in three human cell types (A549, NHBE, THP-1), we mapped 332 IAV-human protein-protein interactions and identified 13 IAV-modulated kinases. Whole exome sequencing of patients who experienced severe influenza revealed several genes, including the structural scaffold protein AHNAK, with predicted loss-of-function variants that were also identified in our proteomic analyses. Of our identified host factors, 54 significantly altered IAV infection upon siRNA knockdown, and two factors, COPB1 and AHNAK, were also essential for productive infection by SARS-CoV-2. Finally, 16 compounds targeting our identified host factors suppressed IAV replication, with three targeting ATP6V1A, CDK2 and FLT3 showing pan-antiviral activity across influenza and coronavirus families. This study provides a comprehensive network model of IAV infection in human cells, identifying functional host targets for pan-viral HDT. This project includes the AP-MS data; all global proteomic data (abundance and phosphorylation) has been submitted separately as its own dataset and has its own dataset identifier.

This project includes endogenous IP data from A549 cells and NHBE cells infected with H5N1 IAV validating IAV-host PPIs M2-ATP6V1A and NEP-AHNAK, respectively. M2-ATP6V1A and NEP-AHNAK PPIs were first identified in AP-MS data that is submitted under its own dataset identifier (PXD036077).

Project description:The discovery of noncoding RNAs is reshaping paradigms in molecular biology and virology. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of novel noncoding RNAs, their circular conformation endows these transcripts with critical physiological and pathological roles. Here, we employed circRNAs sequencing technologies, following RNase R treatment on influenza virus-infected human pulmonary epithelial cells to identify and characterize influenza virus-derived circRNAs. Back spicing junctions mapping analysis identified lots of circRNAs from 7 viral gene segment apart from M gene and subsequent experiments confirmed the presence of these IAV-encoded circRNAs in infected cells and mice lung. We found that polymerase genes could encode numerous viral circRNA (vcircRNAs) within infected cells, such as NP and PB1. By vcircRNA overexpression and knockdown with small interfering RNA, we found that these vcircRNAs is required for efficient viral replication. Notably, IAV-derived circRNAs biogenesis was formed with canonical GU/AG splicing mechanism in infected A549 cells. Splicing site mutant viruses displayed a significant decrease in the viral replication in vitro and pathogenicity in mice. Overall, our findings will not only uncover the novel RNA transcripts in IAVs infection cycle, but also provide a new perspective to investigate the crosstalk between host and IAVs from vcircRNAs.
