Apobec-Mediated Retroviral Hypermutation In Vivo is Dependent on Mouse Strain [RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Retroviruses cause lifelong infections resulting from their ability to thwart innate immunity. The Apobec family of cytidine deaminases are part of the innate immune response that recognizes and mutates foreign nucleic acids, including those from multiple viruses. Multiple retroviral antagonists of Apobecs have been identified, including mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-encoded Rem protein. Previous experiments have shown that Rem-null MMTV or closely related TBLV proviruses from BALB/c tumors accumulate G-to-A and C-to-T mutations typical of Apobecs compared to wild-type proviruses expressing Rem. The difference in mutations between Rem-expressing and non-expressing MMTV strains largely disappeared in mice lacking the Apobec family member, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). These results suggested that Rem is an AID antagonist. In this study, we attempted to study AID-mediated mutations of TBLV proviruses lacking Rem expression obtained from tumors in C57BL/6 (B6) wild-type and AID-knockout backgrounds. Surprisingly, no differences in G-to-A mutations were observed in TBLV proviruses regardless of Rem expression, yet such mutations were significantly reduced in proviruses obtained from mA3/AID-double knockout mice relative to those from wild-type B6 or AID-knockout mice. Many cellular mRNAs involving the innate immune response, but not Apobecs, were elevated in the absence relative to the presence of Rem expression on the B6 AID-knockout background. These results revealed that Apobec-mediated mutagenesis is dependent on mouse strain and suggested a second means of Rem-dependent immune evasion.
