Helminth Infection Reactivates Latent γ-herpesvirus Via Cytokine Competition at a Viral Promoter

ABSTRACT: Mammals are co-infected by multiple pathogens that interact through unknown mechanisms. We found that helminth infection, characterized by the induction of the cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) and the activation of the transcription factor Stat6, reactivated murine gammaherpesvirus infection in vivo. IL-4 promoted viral replication and blocked the antiviral effects of interferon-g (IFNg) by inducing Stat6 binding to the promoter for an important viral transcriptional transactivator. IL-4 also reactivated human Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus from latency in cultured cells. Exogenous IL-4 plus blockade of IFNg reactivated latent murine gammaherpesvirus infection in vivo, suggesting a ‘two-signal’ model for viral reactivation. Thus chronic herpesvirus infection, a component of the mammalian virome, is regulated by the counterpoised actions of multiple cytokines on viral promoters that have evolved to sense host immune status.

Thus chronic herpesvirus infection, a component of the mammalian virome, is regulated by the counterpoised actions of multiple cytokines on viral promoters that have evolved to sense host immune status. All of the RNA from virus-pos cells and 50 ng of RNA from virus-neg cells was prepared for RNA-seq using ScriptSeq v2 RNA-seq library preparation kit (Epicentre). Index Primers (Epicentre) were added and samples underwent Duplex-Specific thermostable nuclease (DSN) (Evrogen) treatment to remove ribosomal RNA. Samples were pooled and sequenced on HiSeq.

Nanoparticle exposure of persistently herpesvirus-infected cells reactivates latent virus and restores a signature observed during acute virus infection in vitro and in vivo

Project description:Both inhalation of environmental (nano)particles (NP) and persistent herpesvirus-infection have been implicated to contribute to the development of chronic lung disease. We hypothesized that the combination of NP exposure and virus infection leads to a different outcome than each factor alone. To test this hypothesis, we applied different carbonaceous NP in the model system of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68), which serves as a small animal model for gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis in vitro and in vivo. NP exposure of latently infected cells induced lytic virus production, while virus growth after de novo infection was not affected. To investigate the effect of pulmonary NP exposure in vivo, latently infected mice were instilled with carbonaceous NP or left untreated. After 24 hours, lung tissue was harvested for analysis. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated an increase in lytic viral proteins after exposure to NP. Simultaneously, gene expression analysis revealed a signature with considerable parallels to the one seen during acute infection. Analysis of the metabolome demonstrated an enrichment of phospholipids in latently infected mice after short-time exposure to NP, matching profoundly with the pattern observed during acute virus infection. Furthermore, the effect of NP exposure on virus reactivation could also be observed in human cells latently infected with Epstein-Barr-Virus (EBV). Our results indicate that the combination of NP exposure and persistent herpesvirus infection restores a molecular signature found in acute virus infection, boosts production of lytic viral proteins, and induces an inflammatory response in the lung – a pattern which might finally result in tissue damage and fibrotic alterations.

Lung emphysema can be elicited by nanoparticle triggered, p38 MAPK mediated virus reactivation

Project description:Environmental particle inhalation and persistent herpesvirus infection are omnipresent and associated with chronic lung diseases. Previously, we showed that pulmonary exposure to soot-like carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNP) or fibre-shaped engineered double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) induced an increase of lytic virus protein expression in latently murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infected mouse lungs, with a similar pattern as acute infection suggesting virus reactivation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying herpesvirus reactivation as well as herpesvirus reactivation associated disease exacerbation caused by particle exposure remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of environmental relevant repeated particle exposure and herpesvirus reactivation mechanistically, and therapeutically. In the MHV-68 mouse model, we identified elevated lung inflammation and emphysema-like injury after repetitive CNP exposure. We further uncovered that CNP reactivated latent herpesvirus mainly in CD11b+ macrophages. Mechanistically, ERK1/2, JNK and p38 MAPK were rapidly activated after CNP and DWCNT exposure in persistently MHV-68 infected bone marrow-derived macrophages, followed by upregulation of viral gene expression and increased viral titer but without generating a pro-inflammatory transcriptional signature. Pharmacological inhibition of p38 activation abrogated CNP but not DWCNT triggered virus reactivation. In vivo, p38 inhibitor pretreatment of latently infected mice also attenuated CNP exposure induced MHV-68 reactivation. Our findings suggest that particle pollution is an environmental challenge to trigger herpesvirus reactivation and related chronic lung disease by activating latent herpesvirus via p38 MAPK dependent signalling. Pharmacological p38 inhibition might serve as a protective target to alleviate particle exposure related chronic lung disease exacerbations.

Herpesvirus infection reduces Pol II occupancy of host promoters but spares viral promoters

Project description:In mammalian cells, widespread acceleration of cytoplasmic mRNA degradation is linked to impaired RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. This mRNA decay-induced transcriptional repression occurs during infection with gammaherpesviruses including Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68), which encode an mRNA endonuclease that initiates widespread RNA decay. Here, we show that MHV68-induced mRNA decay leads to a genome-wide reduction of Pol II occupancy at mammalian promoters. Viral genes, despite the fact that they require Pol II for transcription, escape this transcriptional repression. Protection is not governed by viral promoter sequences; instead, location on the viral genome is both necessary and sufficient to escape the transcriptional repression effects of mRNA decay. We hypothesize that the ability to escape from transcriptional repression is linked to the localization of viral DNA in replication compartments, providing a means for these viruses to counteract decay-induced viral transcript loss.

Differentially expressed human and viral miRNAs across a panel of B-cell lines, including primary effusion lymphomas

Project description:To identify differentially expressed human and viral miRNAs across a panel of B-cell lines, including several primary effusion lymphomas (PEL). Gammaherpesvirus and host cell microRNAs (miRNAs) together modulate gene expression in normal and malignant cells. Using microRNA microarrays, we determined the expression of mature viral and host cellular miRNAs in a series of B cell tumours that include Kaposiâs Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infected Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected Burkittâs lymphoma (BL) cell lines. We show that 35 host miRNAs were constitutively expressed in all the B cell lymphomas and differences in viral miRNA expression were evident between herpesvirus positive tumour types. Furthermore, we show that in PEL, miR-221 and miR-222 expression is defective due to a lack of transcript expression rather than mutation in the miRNA encoding loci. Absence of miR-221 and miR-222 resulted in the enhanced expression of the known target gene p27 (CDKN1B) and reintroduction of miR221 in PEL reduces p27 protein expression. miRNA expression profiling of a panel of 25 B-cell line samples.

Cytomegalovirus Late Transcription Factor Target Sequence Diversity Orchestrates Viral Early to Late Transcription

Project description:Herpesviruses have a group of genes earmarked for expression late in the infection. Beta- and gammaherpesviruses utilize a six-member set of viral late transcription factors to selectively activate these genes by binding to a DNA sequence signature in gene promoters. We made an unexpected discovery that differences in sequence signature configures the late gene expression program for human cytomegalovirus, a beta-herpesvirus of global public health importance. Diversity in signature patterns expands promoter targets and pre-sets amount of individual promoter output. A unique palindromic sequence signature is linked to the activation of back-to-back promoters at multiple locations in the viral genome. We deduce that diversity in late transcription factor targets functionally orchestrates the productive rollout of the late-stage infection. This may be a generalizable feature adopted by beta- and gammaherpesvirus subfamilies.

Identification of novel STAT6-regulated proteins in mouse B cells by comparative transcriptome and proteome analysis

Project description:IL-4/STAT6-regulated transcriptome and proteome were compared in primary B cells isolated from wild-type and STAT6-deficient mice. B cells were purified from the spleen and stimulated in vitro with anti-CD40 and LPS or anti-IgM-F(ab)2 in the presence or absence of IL-4. Transcriptome analysis was performed with oligonucleotide microarrays. Global relative quantification of proteins was achieved by gel-enhanced label-free liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis revealed that IL-4-induced changes of the transcriptome were almost completely dependent on STAT6. In contrast, the quantitative proteome analysis revealed that the expression of many IL-4-regulated proteins changes even in the absence of STAT6. The top 75 proteins with changes in abundance levels induced by IL-4 in a STAT6-dependent manner were also found to be regulated at the transcriptional level. Most of these proteins were not previously known to be regulated by STAT6 in B cells. We confirmed the MS-based quantitative proteome data by flow cytometric and Western blot analysis of selected proteins. This study provides a framework for further functional characterization of STAT6-regulated proteins in B cells that might be involved in germinal center formation and class switch recombination.

Gammaherpesvirus infection alters transfer RNA splicing and triggers tRNA cleavage

Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are fundamental for both cellular and viral gene expression during viral infection. Moreover, mounting evidence supports a noncanonical role for tRNA cleavage products in the control of gene expression during diverse conditions of stress and infection. We previously reported that infection with the model murine gammaherpesvirus, MHV68, leads to altered tRNA transcription, suggesting that tRNA regulation may play an important role in mediating viral replication or the host response. To better understand how viral infection alters tRNA expression, we combined Ordered Two Template Relay (OTTR) with tRNA-specific bioinformatic software called tRAX to profile full-length tRNAs and fragmented tRNA-derived RNAs (tDRs) during infection with the model gammaherpesvirus, MHV68. We find that OTTR-tRAX is a powerful sequencing strategy for combined tRNA/tDR profiling, and reveal that MHV68 infection triggers pre-tRNA and mature tRNA cleavage, resulting in the accumulation of specific tDRs. Fragments of virally-encoded tRNAs (virtRNAs), as well as virtRNA base modification signatures are also detectable during infection. We further dissected the biogenesis pathway of an MHV68-induced cleavage product from a pre-tRNA. Our data shows that pre-tDR-Tyr expression is dependent on the tRNA splicing factor, TSEN2, and that pre-tDR-Tyr expression is inhibited by the kinase, CLP1, which regulates tRNA splicing. Significantly, our findings suggest that CLP1 kinase is required for infectious gammaherpesvirus production, offering new insight into the importance of tRNA processing during viral infection.

Latent gammaherpesvirus 68 infection induces distinct transcriptional changes in different organs

Project description:Previous studies identified a role for latent herpesvirus infection in cross-protection to infection and exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases. Here, we compared the gene expression signature from livers, spleens and brains of mice infected with wild-type gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68), a mutant virus defective in the establishment of latency (ORF73.stop) or mockulum. We identified over 600 genes differentially expressed in organs of mice latently infected with MHV68 and found distinct sets of genes linked to different pathways were altered in spleen compared to liver. Several of the most differentially expressed latency-specific genes (e.g. IFNγ, Cxcl9, Ccl5) are associated with known latency-specific phenotypes. RNA was extracted from livers, spleens and brains of 7-9 week old male C57Bl/6 mice infected with gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68), a virus defective in establishment of latency (ORF73.stop) or mockulum. RNA from 3-4 mice per treatment was pooled and analyzed by M430 2.0 Affymetrix Gene Chip. Three biologic replicates were analyzed for all conditions, except mock livers, for which four biologic replicates were analyzed.
