Characterizing the transcriptomic response of mice infected with A/Anhui/01/2013 (H7N9), A/Netherlands/219/2003 (H7N7), and A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1), and a pandemic H1N1 human virus, A/Mexico/4482/2007 (H1N1)

ABSTRACT: Modulating the host response is a promising approach to treating influenza, a virus whose pathogenesis is determined in part by the host response it elicits. Though the pathogenicity of emerging H7N9 influenza virus has been reported in several animal models, these studies have not included a detailed characterization of the host response following infection. To this end, we characterized the transcriptomic response of BALB/c mice infected with H7N9 (A/Anhui/1/2013) virus and compared it to the responses induced by H5N1 (A/Vietnam/1203/2004), H7N7 (A/Netherlands/219/2003) or H1N1 (A/Mexico/4482/2009) viruses. We found that responses to the H7 subtype viruses were intermediate to those elicited by H5N1 and H1N1 early in infection, but that they evolved to resemble the H5N1 response as infection progressed. H5N1, H7N7 and H7N9 viruses were pathogenic in mice, and this pathogenicity correlated with increased cytokine response, decreased lipid metabolism and decreased coagulation signaling. This three-pronged signature has previously been observed in mice infected with pathogenic H1N1 strains such as the 1918 virus, indicating that it may be predictive of pathogenicity across multiple influenza strains.

Project description:While pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A viruses were responsible for numerous severe infections in humans, these viruses do not typically cause corresponding severe disease in mammalian models. However, the generation of a virulent 2009 H1N1 virus following serial lung passage in mice has allowed for the modeling of human lung pathology in this species. Genetic determinants of mouse-adapted 2009 H1N1 viral pathogenicity have been identified, but the molecular and signaling characteristics of the host response following infection with this adapted virus have not been described. Here, we compared the gene-expression response following infection of mice with A/CA/04/2009 (CA/04) or the virulent mouse-adapted strain (MA-CA/04). Microarray analysis revealed that increased pathogenicity of MA-CA/04 was associated with: (1) early and sustained inflammatory and interferon response that could be driven in part by interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) and increased NFM-oM-^AM-+B activation, as well as inhibition of the negative regulator TRIM24, (2) early and persistent infiltration of immune cells, including inflammatory macrophages, and (3) the absence of activation of lipid metabolism later in infection, that may be mediated by nuclear receptors inhibition, including PPARG, HNF1A and 4A, with pro-inflammatory consequences. Further investigation of these signatures in the host response to other H1N1 viruses of varied pathogenicity confirmed their general relevance for virulence of influenza virus and suggested that lung response to MA-CA/04 virus was similar to that following lethal H1N1 r1918 influenza virus. This study links for the first time differential activation of IRFs, nuclear receptors, and macrophage infiltration with influenza virulence in vivo. Six-to-eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were anesthetized and inoculated with 50 M-NM-<l of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Mock) or with 10^6 pfu of virus in a 50 M-NM-<l volume. Nine animals per condition group were used for tarray analysis, two or three animals per time point. There were seven condition groups: A/California/04/2009, MA1-A/California/04/2009, A/Mexico/4482/09, A/Brisbane/59/07, A/New Jersey/8/76, the reconstructed 1918 virus and timeM-bM-^@M-^Smatched mocks.
