Project description:Small non-coding RNAs have emerged as key players in modulation of viral infection. A unique example is the critical dependence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the liver-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-122, which has surfaced as therapeutic target. Here, we used crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) of the Argonaute (AGO) protein to characterize strengths and specificities of miRNA interactions across 15 viral genomes. Intriguingly, replication of pestiviruses, which are major threats to milk and meat industry, critically depends on cellular miR-17 and let-7 interactions with the viral 3âUTR. Like HCV, miRNA binding enhanced translation and prevented viral RNA degradation. On the cellular transcriptome, pestiviral miR-17 sequestration in vitro and ex vivo conferred reduced AGO binding and functional mRNA de-repression for miR-17 targets. These findings generalize the concept of RNA virus dependence on cellular miRNAs, highlight such interactions as therapeutic targets, and connect functional regulation of the transcriptome in primary cells to miRNA sequestration. Several subseries of analyses were performed. For each sample, subseries to which it belongs are indicated. In the âVirus AGO-CLIPâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on cells infected with virus as indicated. Processed reads were aligned to the host genome (hg18 or BosTau7) and to the respective viral genome. The primary data of interest from this subseries concerns AGO binding to viral RNA, and is given as processed data file âTable S1â. In the âVirus AGO-CLIP: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of BVDV and mock infected MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. In addition, differential analysis of AGO bound miRNAs was performed. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S3 and S4â. In the âAGO-CLIP: tinyLNA-17 vs. Mockâ AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of tinyLNA-17 and mock treated MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S5â. In the âRNA-seq: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, mRNA-seq was performed on two replicates each of MDBK cells infected with different biotypes of BVDV or with miR-17 seed site mutant BVDV. The latter (incl. mock controls) were trans-complemented with the corresponding mutated miR-17. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between selected conditions. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S6â.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus uniquely requires the liver specific microRNA-122 for replication, yet global effects on endogenous miRNA targets during infection are unexplored. Here, high-throughput sequencing and crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) experiments of human Argonaute (Ago) during HCV infection showed robust Ago binding on the HCV 5’UTR, at known and predicted miR-122 sites. On the human transcriptome, we observed reduced Ago binding and functional mRNA de-repression of miR-122 targets during virus infection. This miR-122 “sponge” effect could be relieved and redirected to miR-15 targets by swapping the miRNA tropism of the virus. Single-cell expression data from reporters containing miR-122 sites showed significant de-repression during HCV infection depending on expression level and number of sites. We describe a quantitative mathematical model of HCV induced miR-122 sequestration and propose that such miR-122 inhibition by HCV RNA may result in global de-repression of host miR-122 targets, providing an environment fertile for the long-term oncogenic potential of HCV. AGO HITS-CLIP libraries were generated from mock, LNA or miravirsen treated, or from U3 virus electroporated Huh7.5 cells. Cells were harvested for CLIP 48 hours after small RNA treatment and 17 days after virus electroporation. LNA treatments for U3 virus infected cells was carried out for 48hours. Libraries were generated with a 4nt index read, a common priming sequence, followed by a 5nt degenerate barcode terminiating in a G. Files have been demultiplexed such that the 5nt degenerate barcode has been appended as the first 5 nucleotides of the read.

Project description:Host microRNA (miRNA) dependency is a hallmark of the human pathogen hepatitis C virus (HCV) and was recently also described for the related pestiviruses, which are important livestock pathogens. HCV critically depends on the liver-specific miR-122, whereas the broadly expressed let-7 and miR-17 families bind two sites (S1 and S2) in the pestiviral 3’ untranslated region (UTR). Here, we elucidated the miRNA dependency of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and confirmed its critical dependence on miR-17 and Argonaute 2 (AGO2). Let-7 binding to S1 had only minor effect on virus production but was required for full translational efficiency. Evolutionary selection experiments using seed site randomized genomes revealed that tropism could be re-directed to different miRNAs. AGO cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (AGO-CLIP) and miRNA antagonism demonstrated that these alternative variants bound and depended on the corresponding miRNAs. Furthermore, we identified variants with miRNA independent replication through acquisition of compensatory mutations near the genomic 3’ terminus. Rescue experiments using miRNA mimics demonstrated that miRNA binding and 3’ mutagenesis contribute to replication through mutually exclusive mechanisms. Our findings illustrate that pestiviruses, although capable of miRNA independent replication, took advantage of miRNAs as essential host factors, suggesting a favorable path during evolutionary adaptation.
