Maximal interferon induction in the absence of influenza NS1 is infrequent owing to requirements for replication and export

ABSTRACT: Influenza A virus exhibits high rates of replicative failure due to a variety of genetic defects. As such, most viral particles cannot complete the life cycle. However, despite this failure, this virus is incredibly successful in the suppression of innate immune detection and the production of interferons, succeeding at remaining undetected in >99% of cells in tissue-culture models of infection. As the same variation that leads to replication failure can, by chance, inactivate the major innate immune antagonist in influenza A virus, NS1, what features prevent these events from triggering massive amounts of interferon production? By studying how genetic and phenotypic variation in a viral population lacking NS1 correlates with interferon production, we have built a model of the "worst-case" failure from an improved understanding of the steps at which NS1 acts in the viral lifecycle to prevent triggering of an innate immune response. In doing so, we find that NS1 prevents the detection of de novo innate immune ligands, and protects against both defective viral genomes, bearing large deletions, and viral products exported from the nucleus. Taken together, the highest level of stimulation we observe ( 97% of infected cells), requires a high level of replication in the presence of defective viral genomes with NS1 and NS1 alone from the NS segment bearing an inactivating mutation. This is incredibly unlikely to occur within the standard variation found within a viral population, and would generally require direct, artificial, intervention to achieve at an appreciable rate. Thus from our study, we procure at least a partial explanation for the seeming contradiction between high rates of replicative failure and the rarity of the interferon response to influenza infection.

Project description:Baris Hancioglu, David Swigon & Gilles Clermont. A dynamical model of human immune response to influenza A virus infection. Journal of Theoretical Biology 246, 1 (2007). We present a simplified dynamical model of immune response to uncomplicated influenza A virus (IAV) infection, which focuses on the control of the infection by the innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is represented by interferon-induced resistance to infection of respiratory epithelial cells and by removal of infected cells by effector cells (cytotoxic T-cells and natural killer cells). Adaptive immunity is represented by virus-specific antibodies. Similar in spirit to the recent model of Bocharov and Romanyukha [1994. Mathematical model of antiviral immune response. III. Influenza A virus infection. J. Theor. Biol. 167, 323-360], the model is constructed as a system of 10 ordinary differential equations with 27 parameters characterizing the rates of various processes contributing to the course of disease. The parameters are derived from published experimental data or estimated so as to reproduce available data about the time course of IAV infection in a naïve host. We explore the effect of initial viral load on the severity and duration of the disease, construct a phase diagram that sheds insight into the dynamics of the disease, and perform sensitivity analysis on the model parameters to explore which ones influence the most the onset, duration and severity of infection. To account for the variability and speed of adaptation of the adaptive response to a particular virus strain, we introduce a variable that quantifies the antigenic compatibility between the virus and the antibodies currently produced by the organism. We find that for small initial viral load the disease progresses through an asymptomatic course, for intermediate value it takes a typical course with constant duration and severity of infection but variable onset, and for large initial viral load the disease becomes severe. This behavior is robust to a wide range of parameter values. The absence of antibody response leads to recurrence of disease and appearance of a chronic state with nontrivial constant viral load.
