Expression profile of adult Drosophila melanogaster expressing a self-replicating RNA of Sindbis virus

ABSTRACT: Alphaviruses establish a persistent infection in arthropod vectors, which is essential for effective transmission of the virus to vertebrate hosts. The development of persistence in insects is not well understood, although it is thought to involve the innate immune response. Using a transgenic fly system (SINrep) expressing a self-replicating viral genome, we have previously demonstrated the antiviral response of the Drosophila Imd (Immune Deficiency) and Jak-STAT innate immunity pathways. In the current study, microarray analysis of SINrep flies in comparison to control GFP flies aims to detect genes that are sensitive to Sindbis viral RNA replication.

Both SINrep and GFP adult flies were harvested 3 days post eclosion for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We look for genes significantly altered in the presence of viral RNA replication.

The cytokine DIEDEL and a viral homologue suppress deleterious IMD-dependent gene expression in drosophila

Project description:Viral infection in Drosophila triggers inducible gene expression, but the function of many of these genes and the biological significance of their induction remain poorly understood. Here, we report the functional characterization of the gene Diedel, which is strongly induced following some viral infections and encodes a 12kDa circulating protein. Diedel mutant flies have reduced viability and succumb rapidly to infection with Sindbis virus. This phenotype is associated with deregulated expression of IMD target genes and is rescued by mutations in the genes imd or IKKg, indicating that Diedel functions as an immunosuppressor cytokine targeting the IMD pathway. Homologues of Diedel are found in the genome of several DNA viruses, providing the first example of virokines in insects. Our results reveal that, besides RNA interference and apoptosis, an NF-kB pathway of inducible defense exerts evolutionary pressure on insect viruses. For each experimental condition (non infected and SINV infected), two biologically independent samples composed of 45 males of w1118 or Diedelcfm null mutant flies were used. Infection has been performed by injecting viral stocks prepared in Tris solution. Flies were then incubated for days at 29Â°C.

The effects of Sindbis viral vectors on neuronal function

Project description:Viral vectors are attractive tools to express genes in neurons. Transduction of neurons with a recombinant, replication-deficient Sindbis viral vector is a method of choice for studying the effects of short-term protein overexpression on neuronal function. However, to which extent Sindbis by itself may affect neurons is not fully understood. We assessed effects of neuronal transduction with a Sindbis viral vector on the transcriptome and proteome in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures, and analyzed the electrophysiological properties of individual CA1 neurons, at 24h and 72h after viral vector injection. Whereas Sindbis caused substantial gene expression alterations, changes at the protein level were less pronounced. Alterations in transcriptome and proteome were predominantly limited to proteins involved in mediating anti-viral innate immune responses. Sindbis transduction did not affect the electrophysiological properties of individual neurons: the membrane potential, excitability and synaptic currents were similar between transduced and nontransduced CA1 neurons up to 72h after Sindbis injection. We conclude that Sindbis viral vectors are suitable for studying short-term effects of a protein of interest on electrophysiological properties of neurons, but not for studies on the regulation of gene expression.

Transcription profiling of Aedes infected with alphavirus, Sindbis (MRE16 Malaysian strain)

Project description:The midgut of hematophagous insects is the initial site of infection by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) and plays a crucial role in vector competence. To further understand processes that occur in the midgut in response to infection by an arbovirus, DNA microarrays were used to analyze gene expression changes following infection by the alphavirus, Sindbis (MRE16 Malaysian strain). Midgut transcription profiles from mosquitoes fed blood containing 108 pfu/ml of virus were compared with those from mosquitoes ingesting blood meals having no virus. Transcription profiles from both experimental groups were analyzed at 1, 4, and 8 days post feeding. Among the many transcription changes observed by microarray analysis, the most dramatic involved three genes that had twenty-five to forty-fold increases in transcript levels in virus infected mosquitoes at 4 days post infection . These genes were synaptic vesicle protein-2 (SV2), potassium-dependent sodium/calcium exchanger (NCKX), and a homologue of C. elegans Unc-93, a putative component of a two-pore potassium channel. We speculate that these changes represent changes in vesicle transport processes. In addition to these observations, transcript changes were observed in infected mosquitoes that suggested involvement of Toll and JNK immune cascades as a response to viral infection

Identification of Interactions between Sindbis Virus Capsid Protein and Cytoplasmic vRNA as Novel Virulence Determinants

Project description:Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses that represent a significant threat to public health at a global level. While the formation of alphaviral nucleocapsid cores, consisting of cargo nucleic acid and the viral capsid protein, is an essential molecular process of infection, the precise interactions between the two partners are ill-defined. A CLIP-seq approach was used to screen for candidate sites of interaction between the viral Capsid protein and genomic RNA of Sindbis virus (SINV), a model alphavirus. The data presented in this report indicates that the SINV capsid protein binds to specific viral RNA sequences in the cytoplasm of infected cells, but its interaction with genomic RNA in mature extracellular viral particles is largely non-specific in terms of nucleotide sequence. Mutational analyses of the cytoplasmic viral RNA-capsid interaction sites revealed a functional role for capsid binding early in infection. Interaction site mutants exhibited decreased viral growth kinetics; however, this defect was not a function of decreased particle production. Rather mutation of the cytoplasmic capsid-RNA interaction sites negatively affected the functional capacity of the incoming viral genomic RNAs leading to decreased infectivity. Furthermore, cytoplasmic capsid interaction site mutants are attenuated in a murine model of neurotropic alphavirus infection. Collectively, the findings of this study indicate that the identified cytoplasmic interactions of the viral capsid protein and genomic RNA, while not essential for particle formation, are necessary for genomic RNA function early during infection. This previously unappreciated role of capsid protein during the alphaviral replication cycle also constitutes a novel virulence determinant.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila infected with Drosophila C virus reveals a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection

Project description:The response of drosophila to bacterial and fungal infections involves two signaling pathways, Toll and Imd, which both activate NF-kB family members. We have studied the global transcriptional response of flies to infection with drosophila C virus. Viral infection induced a set of genes distinct from those regulated by the Toll or Imd pathways, and triggered activation of a STAT binding activity. Genetic experiments showed that the JAK kinase Hopscotch was involved in the control of the viral load in infected flies, and was required, though not sufficient, for the induction of some virus-regulated genes. Our results indicate that in addition to Toll and Imd, a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection.

Viral small RNAs in Sindbis virus-infected mammalian cells

Project description:Small RNAs play a critical role in host-pathogen interaction. In insects, for instance, small RNA-mediated silencing or RNA interference (RNAi) represents the main antiviral defense system. However, the antiviral role of RNAi has not been clearly proven in higher vertebrates. On the contrary, it is well established that the cell response relies on the recognition of viral RNAs by host pattern recognition receptors (PRR) to trigger the activation of the interferon pathway. Based on this evidence, we wished to contribute to this research field by identifying and characterizing small non-coding RNAs produced in mammalian cells upon RNA virus infection. We focused on Sindbis virus (SINV), the prototypical arbovirus, which by definition, is able to infect both vertebrate hosts and invertebrate vectors and triggers the interferon pathway or RNAi, respectively.
