Double-Stranded RNA-Activated Protein Kinase Regulates early innate immune responses during RSV Infection

ABSTRACT: Respiratory Syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of childhood viral bronchiolitis and lung injury. Inflammatory responses significantly contribute to lung pathologies during RSV infections and bronchiolitis but the exact mechanisms have not been completely defined. The double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) functions to inhibit viral replication and participates in several signaling pathways associated with innate inflammatory immune responses. Using a functionally defective PKR (PKR-/-) mouse model, we investigated the role of this kinase in early events of RSV-induced inflammation. Our data showed that bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of infected PKR-/- mice had significantly lower levels of several innate inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Histological examinations revealed that there was less lung injury in infected PKR-/- mice as compared to the wild type. A genome-wide analysis showed that several early anti viral and immune regulatory genes were affected by PKR activation. These data suggest that PKR is a signaling molecule for immune responses during RSV infections.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Genotypes and Disease Severity in Young Children Hospitalized with Bronchiolitis

Project description:Background: There is limited data on how different RSV genotypes and associated viral loads influence disease phenotypes. We characterized the genetic variability of RSV strains during five non-consecutive respiratory seasons, and evaluated the role of RSV subtypes, genotypes and viral loads on clinical disease severity. Methods: Healthy infants hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis were prospectively enrolled and nasopharyngeal samples obtained within 24h of hospitalization for RSV load quantitation by PCR, typing and genotyping. Parameters of disease severity were assessed, and multivariate models constructed to identify virologic and clinical factors predictive of clinical outcomes. Results: From March 2004 to April 2011, we enrolled 253 patients (56.5 % males; median age 2.1 (1.1-4.0) months). RSV A infections predominated over RSV B (69% vs. 31%; p<0.001) and showed greater genotype variability. The most common genotypes were RSV A/GA2, A/GA5 and RSV B/BA. Infants infected with RSV GA5 had higher viral loads compared with GA2 or BA infection (p<0.01), independent of duration of symptoms. After adjusting for other covariates, RSV A/GA5 infections were associated with longer hospital stay. Conclusions: RSV A infections were more frequent than RSV B infections and displayed greater genetic variability. Infections with GA5 were independently associated with clinical disease severity.

TGF-beta treated airway epithelium

Project description:Despite being exposed to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection multiple times in our lives, infants, older-adults, and immunocompromised patients are vulnerable to RSV-associated severe diseases, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Respiratory viral infections are known to promote pulmonary fibrosis formation, which are often associated with a cellular remodeling process epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, there is no information on whether RSV causes EMT in bronchial epithelial cells. Our results suggest that RSV-infection does not induce EMT in three different in vitro lung models: epithelial A549 cell line, primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells, and pseudostratified airway epithelium. Interestingly, RSV infection increased cell surface area and perimeter in the infected airway epithelium, which is distinct from the TGF-β1 driven cell elongation. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis also revealed that RSV infection is not involved in cell motility and locomotion. Thus, our results suggest that RSV infection does not induce EMT in the airway epithelium

Comparative Analysis of Genes Induced by Respiratory Syncytial Virus and DsRNA in Human Epithelial Cells

Project description:Epithelial cells are the primary target of respiratory viral infections and play a pivotal role in virus-induced lung inflammation and in anti viral immune response. A common signal for the presence of viral infections and induction of inflammation is recognition of double stranded RNA (dsRNA). Thus far, there has not been a high-throughput transcrptome analysis of RSV- or dsRNA-induced genes in primary human bronchial epithelial cells (PHBE), nor there has been a comparison between dsRNA- and RSV-induced genes. To establish the transcriptome profiles and to determine the contribution of dsRNA in the induction of inflammation during respiratory virus infection, we compared the gene expression profiles of PHBE cells that were infected with RSV or were treated with dsRNA. Our transcriptome analysis showed that RSV infection and and dsRNA treatment induced up-regulation of 2024 and 159 genes in PHBE respectively. Comparison of genes revealed that RSV and dsRNA commonly induced 80 genes in PHBE cells. The common up-regulated genes were functionally grouped in multiple response pathways involved in inflammation and immune responses. Interestingly, there were several previously unreported genes that were up-regulated in primary human epithelial cells that are relevant to a TH2 allergic phenotype. This comparison of a high-throughput gene expression study offers a comprehensive view of transcriptional changes induced by dsRNA and RSV, and importantly compares dsRNA-induced genes with RSV-induced genes in PHBE cells.

Macropahge-specific Irf3 prevents viral inflammation

Project description:Viral inflammation contributes to pathogenesis and mortality during respiratory virus infections. We recently uncovered Irf3, a critical component of innate antiviral immune responses, interacts with pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-kB, and inhibits its activity. Irf3, using this mechanism, suppresses inflammatory gene expression in virus-infected cells and mice. In this study, we evaluated the cells responsible for Irf3-mediated suppression of viral inflammation using newly engineered conditional Irf3Δ/Δ mice. Irf3Δ/Δ mice, upon respiratory virus infection, showed increased susceptibility and mortality. Irf3 deficiency caused enhanced inflammatory gene expression, lung inflammation, immunopathology, and damage, which were accompanied by increased infiltration of pro-inflammatory macrophages. Deletion of Irf3 in macrophages (Irf3-MKO) displayed, similar to Irf3Δ/Δ mice, increased inflammatory responses, macrophage infiltration, lung damage, and lethality, indicating Irf3 in these cells suppressed lung inflammation. RNA-seq analyses revealed enhanced NF-kB-dependent gene expression along with activation of inflammatory signaling pathways in infected Irf3MKO lungs. Targeted analyses revealed activated MAPK signaling in Irf3MKO lungs. Therefore, Irf3 inhibited inflammatory signaling pathways in myeloid cellsmacrophages to prevent viral inflammation and pathogenesis.

Activation of STAT3-mediated ciliated cell survival protects against severe infection by respiratory syncytial virus

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) selectively targets ciliated cells in human bronchial epithelium and can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia mostly in infants. To identify molecular targets of intervention during RSV infection in infants, we investigate how age regulates RSV interaction with the bronchial epithelium barrier. Employing precision-cut lung slices and air-liquid interface cultures generated from infant and adult human donors, we found robust RSV virus spread and extensive apoptotic cell death only in infant bronchial epithelium. In contrast, adult bronchial epithelium showed insignificant barrier damage and limited RSV infection. Single nuclear RNA-sequencing revealed age-related insufficiency of an anti-apoptotic STAT3 activation response to RSV infection in infant ciliated cells, which was exploited to facilitate virus spread via the extruded apoptotic ciliated cells carrying RSV. Activation of STAT3 and blockade of apoptosis rendered protection against severe RSV infection in infant bronchial epithelium. Lastly, apoptotic inhibitor treatment of a neonatal mouse model of RSV infection ameliorated infection and inflammation in the lung. Taken together, our findings identify a STAT3-mediated anti-apoptosis pathway as a target to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

Xuanfei Formula Attenuates RSV Infection

Project description:RSV, a leading cause of severe respiratory illnesses in vulnerable populations, lacks effective, affordable treatments for pediatric use. The potential of traditional Chinese medicine for relieving viral symptoms prompted this investigation into Xuanfei Formula (XFF) as an anti-RSV agent. This study employed H&E staining, cytokine profiling, and RSV titer quantification in BALB/c mice to evaluate the impact of XFF on RSV infection. Strikingly, immediate post-treatment observation showed a precipitous drop in both serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and pulmonary RSV-N gene copies in comparison to infected controls, suggesting XFF’s direct anti-RSV action. Transcriptome analyses were used to pinpointed the underlying mechanism behind formula’s immune-independent anti-RSV, a leading cause of severe respiratory illnesses in vulnerable populations, lacks effective, affordable treatments for pediatric use.
