Project description:Diagnosis of acute respiratory viral infection is currently based on clinical symptoms and pathogen detection. Use of host peripheral blood gene expression data to classify individuals with viral respiratory infection represents a novel means of infection diagnosis. We used microarrays to capture peripheral blood gene expression at baseline and time of peak symptoms in healthy volunteers infected intranasally with influenza A H3N2, respiratory syncytial virus or rhinovirus. We determined groups of coexpressed genes that accurately classified symptomatic versus asymptomatic individuals. We experimentally inoculated healthy volunteers with intranasal influenza, respiratory syncytial virus or rhinovirus. Symptoms were documented and peripheral blood samples drawn into PAXgene tubes for RNA isolation.

Project description:Assessment of host gene expression is an emerging tool for the diagnosis of human infections. We compared nasal and blood samples for evaluation of the host transcriptomic response in children with acute respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), symptomatic and asymptomatic picornavirus (PV) infection, and virus-negative asymptomatic controls (Ctrls). RNA was extracted from nasal and blood samples and analyzed by microarray. Despite generally lower quality of nasal RNA, the number of genes detected in each sample type was equivalent. Nasal gene expression signal derived mainly from epithelial cells but also included a leukocyte contribution that was higher in samples from symptomatic children. The number of genes with increased expression in virus-infected children was comparable in nasal and blood samples, while nasal samples also had large numbers of genes with decreased expression, including many genes associated with ciliary function and assembly. Compared to symptomatic children, those with asymptomatic PV had fewer genes with increased or decreased expression in both sample types. Genes with increased expression in comparisons of symptomatic children versus Ctrls included genes associated with components of innate immunity and apoptosis. Children with RSV but not PV also had increased expression of genes related to the cell cycle. Using nested leave-one-pair-out cross-validation and supervised principal components analysis, we defined sets of genes whose expression patterns accurately classified subjects, with high area-under-the-curve values in receiver operating characteristic analysis. Our results support use of nasal samples to augment pathogen-based tests to diagnose viral respiratory infection.

Project description:The impact of respiratory virus infections on global health is felt not just during a pandemic but for many, endemic seasonal infections pose an equal and ongoing risk of severe disease. Moreover, vaccines and antiviral drugs are not always effective or available for many respiratory viruses. We investigated how induction of effective and appropriate antigen independent innate immunity in the upper airways can prevent spread of respiratory virus infection to the vulnerable lower airways. Activation of Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2), when restricted to the nasal turbinates results in prompt induction of innate immune-driven anti-viral responses through action of cytokines, chemokines and cellular activity in the upper but not the lower airways. We define how nasal epithelial cells and recruitment of macrophages work in concert and play pivotal roles to limit progression of influenza virus to the lungs and sustain protection for up to seven days. These results reveal underlying mechanisms of how control of viral infection in the upper airways can occur and also support the implementation of strategies that can activate TLR2 in nasal passages to provide rapid protection, especially for at-risk populations, against severe respiratory infection when vaccines and antiviral drugs are not always effective or available.

Project description:<p>A prospective multi-year clinical translational study including three cohorts of term infants experiencing their first Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season. All infants are less than or equal to nine months of age at study entry. The three subject cohorts represent the full spectrum of RSV disease severity and include a birth cohort, a cohort of infants hospitalized for RSV disease and infants evaluated at ambulatory settings for RSV infection. All infants are followed longitudinally and evaluated at recognition of acute RSV infection and twice during convalescence. Innate and adaptive immune status are comprehensively measured in association with clinical, environmental, viral, and bacteriologic factors. Genome-wide expression is assessed in the nasal airways, and in sorted peripheral blood lymphocytes. The study goal is to Identify host responses to RSV infection and factors associated with severe disease. </p>

Project description:The nasal epithelium is the primary initial site of SARS-CoV-2 entry in the human body. Since much of the molecular detail defining coronavirus entry and replication was derived from non-nasal cell lines, it remains unclear how SARS-CoV-2 overcomes the physical nasal mucus and periciliary mucin layers to infect and spread through the nasal epithelium. Using air-liquid interface cultured primary nasal epithelial cells, we observed that SARS-CoV-2 attaches to motile cilia during the initial stage of infection. Depletion of cilia inhibited SARS-CoV-2, as well as respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza virus infection, suggesting a widely-used ciliary mechanism for respiratory viral entry. Using electron and immunofluorescence microscopy, we further observed that SARS-CoV-2 progeny virions attached to airway microvilli 24 hours post infection and triggered the formation of apically extended and highly branched microvilli that organize viral egress from the microvillar base back into the mucus layer, supporting a model of virus dispersion throughout airway tissue via mucociliary transport. Chemical perturbation of microvillus formation severely impaired viral egress and subsequent spread. Phosphoproteomic analyses indicate that virally-triggered microvillar branching is linked to the p21-activated kinase 1 and 4 (PAK1/4) signaling pathway and viral infection is impaired by PAK1/4 kinase inhibitors. Our work provides insight into the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 and potentially many respiratory viruses penetrate the physical nasal epithelium barrier, a first line of defense against pathogens, thus revealing a new view of the motile cilia and microvilli as critical host factors required for viral entry and egress.

Project description:Rationale: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Streptococcus pneumoniae are major respiratory pathogens. Co-infection with RSV and S. pneumoniae is associated with severe and often fatal pneumonia but the molecular basis for this remains unclear. Objectives: To determine if interaction between RSV and pneumococci enhances pneumococcal virulence. Methods: We used confocal microscopy and western blot to identify the receptors involved in direct binding of RSV and pneumococci, the effects of which were studied in both in vivo and in vitro models of infection. Human ciliated respiratory epithelial cell cultures were infected with RSV for 72h and then challenged with pneumococci. Pneumococci were collected after 2h exposure and changes in gene expression determined using qRT-PCR. Results: Following incubation with RSV or purified G protein, pneumococci demonstrated a significant increase in the inflammatory response and bacterial adherence to human ciliated epithelial cultures and markedly increased virulence in a pneumonia model in mice. This was associated with extensive changes in the pneumococcal transcriptome and significant upregulation in the expression of key pneumococcal virulence genes, including the gene for the pneumococcal toxin, pneumolysin. We show that mechanistically this is due to RSV G glycoprotein binding penicillin binding protein 1a. Conclusion: The direct interaction between a respiratory virus protein and the pneumococcus resulting in increased bacterial virulence and worsening disease outcome is a new paradigm in respiratory infection.

Project description:Viral respiratory infections significantly affect young children, particularly extremely premature infants, resulting in high hospitalization rates and increased health-care burdens. Despite posing substantial health risks, airway immune responses in early life remain largely unexplored. Nasal epithelial cells, the primary defense against respiratory infections, are vital for understanding nasal immune responses and serve as a promising target for uncovering underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms. Using a trans-well pseudostratified nasal epithelial cell system, we examined age-dependent developmental differences and antiviral responses to influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus through systems biology approaches. Our studies revealed differences in innate-receptor repertoires, distinct developmental pathways, and differentially connected antiviral network circuits between neonatal and adult nasal epithelial cells. Consensus network analysis identified unique and shared cellular networks for influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus, emphasizing highly relevant virus-specific pathways. This research highlights the importance of nasal epithelial cells in innate antiviral immune responses and offers novel insights that should enable a deeper understanding of age-related differences in nasal epithelial cell immunity following respiratory virus infections.
