Project description:This study used virological, histological, and global gene expression from an experimental murine model of influenza infection to study the contribution of a specific mutation in the PB1-F2 protein (PB1-F2 N66S) of influenza A to viral pathogenesis. 6-8 week old, wild-type, female, C57Bl/6 mice were inoculated individually with 30 μl (10^4 PFU) of virus (recombinant influenza A/WSN/33 carrying the PB1 gene segment from A/Hong Kong/156/97 (H5N1) or a PB1 mutant recombinant virus resulting in an amino acid change at position 66 in the PB1-F2 protein [N66S]) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing penicillin-streptomycin and bovine serum albumin (PBS-BA-PS). A total of 10^4 PFU of virus was given in all inoculations. Control mice were given PBS-BA-PS. Lung samples were taken for microarray analysis at 12h, 1d, 3d, and 5d post-infection (n=3 animals per group at each time point for virus infected animals; n=2 animals per time point for mock-infected animals).

Project description:Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) is a permanent threat due to its capacity to cross species barriers and generate severe infections and high mortality in humans. Recent findings have highlighted the potential role of PB1-F2, a small accessory influenza protein, in the pathogenesis process mediated by HPAIV in mammals. In this study, using a recombinant H5N1 HPAIV (wt) and its PB1-F2-deleted mutant (ΔF2), we studied the effects of PB1-F2 in a chicken model. Unexpectedly, when using low inoculation dose we observed that the wt-infected chickens had a higher survival rate than the ΔF2-infected chickens, a feature that contrasts with what is usually observed in mammals. High inoculation dose had similar mortality rate for both viruses, and comparison of the bio-distribution of the two viruses indicated that the expression of PB1-F2 allows a better spreading of the virus within chicken embryos. Transcriptomic profiles of lungs and blood cells were characterized at two days post-infection in chickens inoculated with the wild type (wt) or the ΔF2 mutant viruses. In lungs, the expression of PB1-F2 during the infection induced pathways related to calcium signaling and repressed a large panel of immunological functions. In blood cells, PB1-F2 was associated to a gene signature specific for mitochondrial dysfunction and down-modulated leucocytes activation. Finally we compared the effect of PB1-F2 in lungs of chickens and mice. We identified that gene signature associated to tissue damages is a PB1-F2 feature shared by the two species; by contrast, the early inhibition of immune response mediated by PB1-F2 observed in chickens is not seen in mice. In summary, our data suggest that PB1-F2 expression deeply affect the immune host response in chickens in a way that may attenuate pathogenicity, a feature differing from what was previously observed in mammal species.

Project description:RIG-I plays an essential role in the duck innate immune response to influenza infection. RIG-I engages the critical adaptor protein mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) to activate the downstream signaling pathway. The influenza A virus non-structural protein PB1-F2 interacts with MAVS in human cells to inhibit interferon production. As duck and human MAVS share only 28% amino acid similarity, it is not known whether the influenza virus can similarly inhibit MAVS signaling in avian cells. Using confocal microscopy we show that MAVS and the constitutively active N-terminal end of duck RIG-I (2CARD) co-localize in DF-1 cells, and duck MAVS is pulled down with GST-2CARD. We establish that either GST-2CARD, or duck MAVS can initiate innate signaling in chicken cells and their co-transfection augments interferon-beta promoter activity. Demonstrating the limits of cross-species interactions, duck RIG-I 2CARD initiates MAVS signaling in chicken cells, but works poorly in human cells. The D122A mutation of human 2CARD abrogates signaling by affecting MAVS engagement, and the reciprocal A120D mutation in duck 2CARD improves signaling in human cells. We show mitochondrial localization of PB1-F2 from influenza A virus strain A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1; PR8), and its co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation with duck MAVS. PB1-F2 inhibits interferon-beta promoter activity induced by overexpression of either duck RIG-I 2CARD, full-length duck RIG-I, or duck MAVS. Finally, we show that the effect of PB1-F2 on mitochondria abrogates TRIM25-mediated ubiquitination of RIG-I CARD in both human and avian cells, while an NS1 variant from the PR8 influenza virus strain does not.

Project description:Differential expression was determined in Calu-3 cells between mock infected and infection with one of 3 Influenza viruses (wild-type VN1203, VN1203 mutant PB1-F2del, VN1203 mutant PB2-627E) at different times post infection. Purpose: To obtain samples for transcriptional analysis in triplicate using the VN1203 pathogenicity mutants PB1-F2del and PB2-627E. Overview of Experiment: . Time Points: 0, 3, 7, 12, 18 and 24 hrs post infection. . There are two time points for wild type VN1203. . Done in triplicate. . Triplicates are defined as 3 different wells, plated at the same time using the same cell stock for all replicates. . Time-matched mocks were done in triplicate from the same cell stock as the rest of the samples. . Culture medium (the same as what the virus stock is in) was used for the mock infections. Calu-3 cells were infected with A/Vietnam/1203-CIP048_RG3/2004 (H5N1) (PB1-F2 deletion), A/Vietnam/1203-CIP048_RG3/2004 (H5N1) (PB2-627E mutant) or mock infected and samples were collected at 0, 3, 7, 12, 18 and 24 hpi. Calu-3 cells were infected with WT: A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) and samples were collected at 7 and 24 hpi. There are 3 mock and 3 infected replicates for each time point. Expression profiles were determined.

Project description:The influenza A virus (IAV) PB1-F2 protein is a virulence factor contributing to the pathogenesis observed during IAV infections in mammals. In this study, using a mouse model, we compared the host response associated with PB1-F2 with an early transcriptomic signature that was previously associated with neutrophils and consecutively fatal IAV infections. This allowed us to show that PB1-F2 is partly involved in neutrophil-related mechanisms leading to death. Using neutropenic mice, we confirmed that the harmful effect of PB1-F2 is due to an excessive inflammation mediated by an increased neutrophil mobilization. We identified the downstream effects of this PB1-F2-exacerbated neutrophil recruitment. PB1-F2 had no impact on the lymphocyte recruitment in the airways at day 8 pi. However, functional genomics analysis and flow cytometry in broncho-alveolar lavages at 4 days pi revealed that PB1-F2 induced a NK cells deficiency. Thus, our results identify PB1-F2 as an important immune disruptive factor during the IAV infection.

Project description:Influenza A viruses cause important diseases in both human and animal. The PB1-F2 protein is a virulence factor expressed by some influenza viruses. Its deleterious action for the infected host is mostly described in mammals, while the available information is scarce in avian hosts. In this work, we compared the effects of PB1-F2 in avian and mammalian hosts by taking advantage of the zoonotic capabilities of an avian H7N1 virus. In vitro, the H7N1 virus did not behave differently when PB1-F2 was deficient while a H3N2 virus devoid of PB1-F2 was clearly less inflammatory. Likewise, when performing in vivo challenges of either chickens or embryonated eggs, with the wild-type or the PB1-F2 deficient virus, no difference could be observed in terms of mortality, host response or tropism. PB1-F2 therefore does not appear to play a major role as a virulence factor in the avian host. However, when infecting NF-κB-luciferase reporter mice with the H7N1 viruses, a massive PB1-F2-dependent inflammation was quantified, highlighting the host specificity of PB1-F2 virulence. Surprisingly, a chimeric 7:1 H3N2 virus harboring an H7N1-origin segment 2 (i.e. expressing the avian PB1-F2) induced a milder inflammatory response than its PB1-F2-deficient counterpart. This result shows that the pro-inflammatory activity of PB1-F2 is governed by complex mechanisms involving components from both the virus and its infected host. Thus, a mere exchange of segment 2 between strains is not sufficient to transmit the deleterious character of PB1-F2.
