Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) can hijack non-neutralizing IgG antibodies to facilitate its uptake into target cells expressing Fc gamma receptors (FcgR) - a process known as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection. Beyond a requirement for FcgR, host dependency factors for this non-canonical infection route remain unknown. To identify cellular factors exclusively required for ADE, here, we performed CRISPR knockout screens in an in vitro system permissive to infection only in the presence of IgG antibodies. Validating our approach, a top hit was FcgRIIa, which facilitates binding and internalization of IgG-bound DENV but is not required for canonical infection. Additionally, we identified host factors with no previously described role in DENV infection, including TBC1D24 and SV2B, both of which have known functions in regulated secretion. Using genetic knockout and trans-complemented cells, we validated a functional requirement for these host factors in ADE assays performed with monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal sera in multiple cell lines and using all four DENV serotypes. We show that TBC1D24 and SV2B promote binding of IgG-DENV complexes to cells without affecting FcgRIIa expression levels. Thus, we identify cellular factors beyond FcgR that are required for ADE of DENV infection. Our findings represent a first step towards advancing fundamental knowledge behind the biology of ADE that can ultimately be exploited to inform vaccination and therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a major emerging disease in tropical and subtropical countries and the influence of host genetics during early phases of infection remains to be fully elucidated. Here we use dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages from healthy individuals to establish inter-individual variability in DENV infection and antibody-mediated enhancement (ADE). We show that host-related factors determine the severity of the infection rate both in DENV-infected DCs and macrophages following ADE. We then correlate the inter-individual variability in infection rates with genome-wide transcript abundance measured by RNA sequencing in DCs following DENV infection. We report 190 host-related transcripts in DCs that correlate markedly with infection rates that form an ubiquitin-mediated antiviral network. Furthermore, these transcripts are enriched for glycolysis, which we show is critical for the early phases of infection. Among virus induced transcripts (i.e. significant correlation only after DENV), we identify DUSP10 as the best indicator of the severity of infection. These results indicate the importance of host genetics in shaping the severity of DENV infection rates in DCs and identify novel potential DENV-susceptibility targets.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) causes widespread mosquito-borne infection. While most symptomatic patients experience mild disease, a fraction progresses to severe dengue (SD)--a life-threatening condition whose pathogenesis remains largely unknown. We integrated virus-inclusive single cell RNA-Seq 2 (viscRNA-Seq 2) with functional assays to determine the immunological hallmarks of SD progression in children’s blood. We show that beyond myeloid cells, in natural infection, B cells harbor replicating DENV capable of infecting permissive cells. Alterations in cell abundance, gene and protein expression and secretion, and cell-cell communications suggesting increased migration and inflammation in SD progressors, yet concurrent: i) impaired interferon responses and antigen presentation, in part DENV-modulated, by antigen presenting cells (APCs) in face of intact uptake; ii) activation, regulation, and exhaustion of effector responses, enhanced IFNγ-responses, and appearance of HLA-DR-expressing NK cells possibly compensating for APCs impairments. These observations reveal the target cells of DENV in human blood and provide insight into SD pathogenesis beyond antibody-mediated enhancement.

Project description:The ability of many viruses to manipulate the host antiviral immune response often results in complex host-pathogen interactions. In order to study the interaction of dengue virus (DENV) with the Aedes aegypti immune response, we have characterized the DENV infection-responsive transcriptome of the immune-competent A. aegypti cell line Aag2. As in mosquitoes, DENV infection transcriptionally activated the cell line Toll pathway and a variety of cellular physiological systems. Most notably, however, DENV infection down-regulated the expression levels of numerous immune signaling molecules and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Functional assays showed that transcriptional induction of AMPs from the Toll and IMD pathways in response to bacterial challenge is impaired in DENV-infected cells. In addition, Escherichia coli, a gram-negative bacteria species, grew better when co-cultured with DENV-infected cells than with uninfected cells, suggesting a decreased production of AMPs from the IMD pathway in virus-infected cells. Pre-stimulation of the cell line with gram-positive bacteria prior to DENV infection had no effect on DENV titers, while pre-stimulation with gram-negative bacteria resulted in an increase in DENV titers. These results indicate that DENV is capable of actively suppressing immune responses in the cells it infects, a phenomenon that may have important consequences for virus transmission and insect physiology.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) infects hundreds of millions of people annually, yet there is only a limited knowledge of the host immune response to dengue. Here, we used a systems biological approach to perform a detailed analysis of the innate immune response to DENV infection in the whole blood samples of acutely infected humans in Bangkok, Thailand. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that genes encoding pro-inflammatory mediators and type I IFN related proteins, were associated with high levels of virus during the first few days of infection. Individuals with low or negative viremia at the late stage of fever were enriched with genes associated with pathways involved in cell cycle, proliferation, cell metabolism and translational control. Meta-analysis showed significant enrichment in genes specific for innate cells (monocytes, macrophages and DCs) in the specimens with high VL and enrichment in genes specific for NK cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells as well as B cells in specimens with low VL. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis revealed an expansion in the numbers of CD14+CD16+ monocytes and depletion of CD14dimCD16++ cells and BDCA-1+ myeloid DC in blood. Consistent with this, in a non-human primate model, infection with DENV boosted the numbers of CD14+CD16+ monocytes in the blood and in secondary lymphoid organs. In vitro, freshly isolated blood monocytes infected with DENV up regulated CD16 and mediated robust differentiation of resting B cells to CD27++CD38++ plasmablasts and IgG and IgM secretion. Taken together, these data provide a detailed picture of the innate response to dengue infection in humans, and highlight an unappreciated role for CD14+CD16+ monocytes in promoting the differentiation of plasmablasts and mediating antibody response to DENV. We analyzed whole blood samples from 28 dengue patients (DF n=18, DHF=10) hospitalized at the Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand during the season of 2009 The specimens were acquired between days 2 and 9 after onset of symptoms (acute illness), and for 19 patients (DF n=13, DHF=6) also at the convalescence at 4 weeks or later after discharge. Additionally, blood was sampled from 9 healthy, non-infected donors to provide controls for transcriptomic and immunological analysis.

Project description:We measured fever-day-specific genome-wide transcript abundance patterns in 105 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples collected from 41 children hospitalized with dengue virus (DENV) infection in Nicaragua, and from 8 healthy controls. DF1 = primary DF; DF2 = secondary DF; DHF = Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever; DSS = Dengue Shock Syndrome. Samples were collected from pediatric patients with DENV infection at the Hospital Infantil Manuel de Jesus Rivera (HIMJR) in Managua, Nicaragua. Enrollment criteria consisted of hospitalized patients younger than 15 years of age whose parents or guardians completed the informed consent process, and for children 6 years and older who provided assent, and who presented with acute febrile illness of less than 7 days duration with one or more of the following symptoms or signs at the time of evaluation: headache, arthralgia, myalgia, retro-orbital pain, positive tourniquet test, petechiae, and signs of bleeding. Children were considered to have dengue if DENV was detected by RT-PCR or by isolation in cell culture, if an IgM ELISA indicated seroconversion between the acute and convalescent sample, and/or if there was a > 4-fold increase in DENV-specific antibodies between the acute and convalescent phase. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood within four hours of collection and stored in Trizol at -80 oC disease_state_design

Project description:Here; we have described and tested a microarray based-method for the screening of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. This DNA microarray assay is specific and sensitive and can detect dual infections with two dengue virus serotypes and single-serotype infections. Other methodologies may underestimate samples containing more than one serotype. This technology can be used to discriminate between the four DENV serotypes. Single-stranded DNA targets were covalently attached to glass slides and hybridised with specific labelled probes. DENV isolates and dengue samples were used to evaluate microarray performance. Our results demonstrate that the probes hybridized specifically to DENV serotypes; with no detection of unspecific signals. This finding provides evidence that specific probes can effectively identify single and double infections in DENV samples. Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a major public health problem globally. Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and includes four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). DENV-2 and DENV-3 have been associated with severe dengue disease, consequently, laboratory testing for DENV is needed to confirm the diagnosis of DENV infection, serotype and to differentiate dengue from other febrile tropical illnesses. In addition, surveillance of mosquitoes infected with DENV is needed to monitor the infection rates within vector mosquito populations harboring specific serotype to provide an early warning sign to predict epidemics. Results In this work we have applied microarray analysis to simultaneously determine the serotype of multiple RNA samples from human or mosquitoes. The proposed microarray method can be used for i) rapid and reliable dengue diagnosis; ii) serotyping and iii) surveillance of mosquitoes infected with dengue. These microarrays were useful to confirm the presence of DENV-2 in 94 serum samples, DENV-3 in three samples from Juchitan, Oaxaca and one case from Juchitan, Oaxaca contained DENV-2 and -3. Moreover by using these microarrays we also determined DENV in pools of gravid females mosquitoes collected in several sites of nineteen Mexican states in 2005. Mosquito pools from 31 cities in the states of Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Tamaulipas and Colima were infected with DENV-2, six cities in Yucatán, Tabasco, Morelos, Tamaulipas, Colima, and Nayarit with DENV-1, three from Tabasco, Veracruz and Oaxaca with DENV 3 and two with two serotypes simultaneously (Ciudad Mante with DENV-1 and DENV-2, and Tavela with DENV-2 and DENV-3). Conclusion Here we show the success of applying microarrays assay to provide a consistently robust qualitative detection of dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) in serum samples from patients or in pools of gravid female mosquitoes collected in the field of nineteen Mexican states. Interestingly, we did not detect any mosquito or serum sample containing DENV-4.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) infection is associated with a range of clinical manifestations, from self-limiting dengue fever (DF) to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Although DENV-specific CD4 T cells are capable of producing inflammatory cytokines and can acquire cytotoxic functions in previously DENV-exposed individuals, much less is known related to DENV-specific CD4 T cells during acute DENV infection and disease. In this study, we set out to characterize the immune signatures of DENV-specific CD4 T cells during acute infection and investigate whether DENV-specific CD4 T cell response differs between DF and DHF. Previous studies suggest that increased IL-10 level in the blood is associated with severe dengue disease. Here we show evidence of DENV-specific IL-10-producing CD4 T cells during acute DENV infection. More specifically, an IL-10+IFN-γ+ double positive (DP) CD4 T cell population was prominent in acute hospitalized DENV cases but disappeared at the convalescent stage. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that these cells were associated with gene signatures that marginally overlapped with previously identified signatures of cytotoxic CD4 T cells and type 1 regulatory T (Tr1)-like cells. However, the majority of the genes differentially expressed by DP cells were not related to cytotoxic CD4 T cells or Tr1-like cells. These genes include IL-21, IL-22, CD86, CD109, and CCR1, which are involved in T cell activation, function, cytokine signaling, and migration. Notably, the magnitude of DP cell response was higher in DHF than DF, whereas the gene expression profile of DP cells was similar between DF and DHF. Finally, our data show that DENV-specific DP cells are largely homogeneous based on the expression of 31 selected markers. Overall, this study reveals unique phenotypes of virus-specific IL-10/IFN-γ co-producing CD4 cells and indicates that the quantity but not quality of these cells may be positively correlated with dengue disease severity.

Project description:Analysis of the host response to dengue virus at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that dengue virus triggers and regulate different pathaway with different kinetics controlling the antiviral, the inflammatory and the apoptotic response in primary human DC. Results provide important information of the response to DC to dengue virus showing that antioxidant genes are early stimulated after denv infection reflecting an early production of reactive oxygen species. Interestingely, we demonstrated that ROS production and antiviral and apoptotic responses intersect since chemical inhibition of ROS impairs antiviral and apoptotic responses in these cells.
