Cross-species comparative analysis of Dicer proteins during Sindbis virus infection

ABSTRACT: The role of RNA silencing as a defense mechanism against viruses remains to be formerly established in mammalian somatic cells. Here, we determined the antiviral properties of human and Drosophila Dicer proteins in a heterologous setup. We expressed human Dicer (hDicer) in Drosophila, and Drosophila Dicer-2 in human cells, and measured the impact on the response to Sindbis virus (SINV) infection. In flies, hDicer presents a low processing activity, but partially rescues a Dcr2 null mutation in flies. Expression of Dicer-2 in HEK293 cells allows the processing of SINV RNA into 21-nt-long small RNAs. Nevertheless, instead of conferring a protective effect against SINV, Dicer-2 expression increases viral replication in HEK293 cells. We present evidence that this effect is due to a competition with the interferon pathway. Our results therefore suggest that adding functionial RNA silencing machinery in IFN-competent differentiated mammalian cells can be detrimental for antiviral defense.

A Dicistrovirus-specific inducible antiviral response in Drosophila

Project description:The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a good model to unravel the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity, and has led to some important discoveries on the sensing and signalling of microbial infections. The response of drosophila to virus infections remains poorly characterized, and appears to involve two facets. On one hand RNA interference (RNAi) involves the recognition and processing of dsRNA into small interfering (si) RNAs by the host ribonuclease Dicer-2 (Dcr-2), whereas on the other hand an inducible response controlled by the evolutionarily conserved JAK/STAT pathway contributes to the antiviral host defence. In order to clarify the contribution of the siRNA and JAK/STAT pathways to the control of viral infections, we have compared the resistance of flies wild-type or mutant for Dcr-2 or the JAK kinase Hopscotch (Hop) to infections by seven RNA or DNA viruses belonging to different families. Our results reveal a unique susceptibility of hop mutant flies to infection by DCV and CrPV, two members of the Dicistroviridae family. Genome-wide microarray analysis confirmed that different sets of genes were induced following infection by DCV (GSE2828) or two unrelated RNA viruses, FHV and SINV. Overall, our data reveal that RNAi is an efficient antiviral mechanism, operating against a large range of viruses, including a DNA virus. By contrast, the antiviral contribution of the JAK/STAT pathway appears to be virus-specific. For each experimental challenge (FHV, 48 or 72 hours after infection; SINV, 4 or 8 days after infection), three biologically independent samples composed of 45 male Oregon R flies were used. Infection has been performed by injecting viral stocks prepared in Tris solution. Injection of the same volume of Tris has been used as control. Infected flies were then incubated for 48 or 72 hours in the case of FHV and 4 days or 8 days in the case of SINV.

Identification of RNase L-dependent, 3M-bM-^@M-2-end-modified, 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. Taking advantage of large scale sequencing, we cloned and sequenced small RNAs from both mock and SINV-infected mammalian cells (HEK 293 and VERO). We identified a novel population of viral small RNAs (vsRNAs) that accumulate as 20 to 30 nt species during infection. We assessed that this viral small RNA population is modified in 3'end and derived from the activation of the cellular antiviral endoribonuclease RNaseL. Altogether our results indicate a potential role for the SINV-derived small RNAs in the host defense mechanism.

Detection of small RNAs generated during early infection of human HEK 293 cells by the alphavirus Sindbis virus

Project description:A time course of infection of the alphavirus Sindbis virus (SINV) was used to investigate the presence of viral specific vsRNA and the changes in miRNAs profiles in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293) by high throughput DNA sequencing. Deep sequencing of small RNAs early in SINV infection (4 and 6 hpi) showed low abundance (0.8%) of viral specific RNAs (vsRNAs) , with a random uniform distribution not typical of Dicer products, suggesting they arise from non-specific degradation. Sequencing showed little variation of cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) at 4 and 6 hpi compared to uninfected cells. Twelve miRNAs exhibiting some minor differential expression by sequencing, showed insignificant modulation by Northern blot analysis. RNA was isolated from mock infected and SINV inoculated HEK 293 cells at 4hpi and 6hpi cDNA libraries were generated for the small RNA (sRNA) content of the cells and sequenced using Illumina GA II, which yielded between 29.1M and 30.5M reads per sample

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

Project description: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.

Increased viral tolerance mediates by antiviral RNA interference in bat cells

Project description:Bats harbor highly virulent viruses that can infect other mammals, including humans, posing questions about their immune tolerance mechanisms. Bat cells employ multiple strategies to limit virus replication and virus-induced immunopathology, but the coexistence of bats and fatal viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in bat cells and discovered that they have an enhanced antiviral RNAi response, producing canonical viral small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) upon Sindbis virus (SINV) infection that were missing in human cells. Disruption of Dicer function resulted in increased viral load for three different RNA viruses in bat cells, indicating an interferon-independent antiviral pathway. Furthermore, our findings reveal the simultaneous engagement of Dicer and pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), such as retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), with double-stranded RNA, suggesting that Dicer attenuates the interferon response initiation in bat cells. These insights advance our comprehension of the distinctive strategies bats employ to coexist with viruses.

DEAD box RNA helicase 5 and 17 are novel host factors for Sindbis virus infection.

Project description:The DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicases DDX5 and DDX17 play a role in many aspects of cellular RNA biology, including metabolism, translation, splicing, transcription regulation, ribosome biogenesis, mRNA nuclear export, and miRNA processing. Moreover, both RNA helicases were found to either promote or inhibit viral replication upon several RNA virus infections. Here we show that DDX5 depletion by siRNA or CRISPR/Cas9 has a negative impact on Sindbis virus (SINV) infection at the viral protein, RNA and infectious particle level. Moreover, we demonstrate that DDX5 which is predominately nuclear in uninfected conditions, re-localizes to the cytoplasm upon infection where it interacts with the viral RNA and with the SINV capsid protein. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of DDX5 interactome in mock and SINV infected HCT116 cells confirmed its interaction with DDX17 and identified PNPT1 as a new DDX5 partner. Of note, while PNPT1 localization remains mostly unchanged in mock and infected cells, DDX17 re-localizes to the cytoplasm with DDX5 upon SINV infection and interacts with SINV capsid protein. Finally, depletion of DDX17 further reduces SINV infection in a DDX5-depleted background suggesting a cumulative proviral effect of DDX5 and 17 proteins on SINV.
