Effects of Zika virus infection on the metabolome of pregnant women: a longitudinal study

ABSTRACT: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne +ssRNA virus that can cause abnormal development in human fetal central neuron system and even lead to stillbirth. Despite the popularity of studies in this area recently, there is currently still no sufficient treatment for it. Knowledge on how ZIKV infection impact human metabolisms is still lacking. Untargeted metabolomics can profile the overall change in metabolites after infection, thus provide hypothesis for specific investigations. We here performed a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR)-based untargeted case-control metabolomics study on urine of ZIKV-infected pregnant women. We collected samples monthly from the first trimester till up to 6 months of ZIKV-infected and non-infected individuals and modelled the longitudinal data. We identified 3-aminoisobutyrate and trigonelline with significantly higher levels in the ZIKV-infected patients, while 11 metabolites (fucose, 2-hydroxyglutarate, N-acetyl-glutamine, dimethylamine, 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol, creatinine, lactate, threonine, histidine, pseudouridine, and 1-methylnicotinamide) had significantly lower levels. We also identified 2 metabolites, including glucose and 1-methylnicotinamide, where the trends over time of the intensity levels between the two groups were significantly different. These metabolites suggested further study on tryptophan, NAD+, pyrimidine, and glucose metabolisms. These metabolomic changes may lead us to a better understanding of mechanisms that cause poor fetal outcomes as well as effects of virus infection on human pregnancy.

Profiling whole-tissue metabolic reprogramming during cutaneous poxvirus infection and clearance

Project description:Background Vaccinia virus (VACV) infection induces prominent changes in host cell metabolism. Little is known about the global metabolic reprogramming that takes place in the whole tissue during viral infection. Here, we performed an unbiased longitudinal metabolomics study in VACV-infected mice to investigate metabolic changes in the tissue during infection. We assessed metabolites in homogenized skin over time in the presence or absence of antigen-specific T cells using untargeted mass spectrometry. VACV infection induced several significant metabolic changes, including in the levels of nucleic acid metabolites (reflecting the impact of viral replication on the skin metabolome). Furthermore, monocyte- and antiviral T cell-produced metabolites, including itaconic acid, glutamine, and glutathione, were significantly increased following infection, highlighting the immune response’s contribution to the global skin metabolome. Additional RNA-Seq of infected skin tissue recapitulated transcriptional changes identified via metabolomics. Overall, our study reveals the metabolic balance of viral replication and the antiviral immune response in the skin and identifies metabolic pathways that could contribute to cutaneous poxvirus control in vivo.

Novel Model for Vertical Zika Virus Transmission via Decidual Cell-mediated Infection of Anchoring Villi

Project description:Vertical transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) causes severe fetal defects, but the exact pathogenic mechanism is unclear. We identified up to a 10480-fold higher expression of viral attachment factors AXL, GAS6 and PROS1 and 3880-fold increase in ZIKV infectiousness/propagation in decidual cells (DCs) versus trophoblasts. Moreover, levels of viral attachment factors and ZIKV are significantly increased while expression of innate immune response genes are significantly decreased in first trimester versus term DCs. ZIKV-infected DC supernatants increased cytotrophoblast infection up to 252-fold compared to directly infected cytotrophoblasts. Tizoxanide treatment efficiently inhibited ZIKV infection in both cell types. We conclude that decidual cells may act as reservoirs for trimester-dependent placental transmission of ZIKV, accounting for the higher ZIKV infection susceptibility and more severe fetal sequelae observed in early versus late pregnancy. Moreover, tizoxanide is a promising agent in preventing perinatal ZIKV transmission.

Primed primary metabolism in systemic leaves: a functional systems analysis

Project description:During their co-evolution, plants have learned to counteract bacterial infection by preparing yet uninfected tissues for an enhanced defence response, the so-called systemic acquired resistance or priming response. Primed leaves express a wide range of genes that enhance the defence response once an infection takes place. While hormone-driven defence signalling and generation of defensive metabolites has been well studied, less focus has been set on the reorganization of primary metabolism in systemic leaves. Since primary metabolism plays an essential role for fuelling and optimizing defences in terms of providing energy and chemical building blocks, we investigated medium-term primed changes in primary metabolism at RNA and metabolite levels in systemic leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants that were locally infected with Pseudomonas syringae. While known defence genes were still activated 3-4 days after infection, we also found several parts of primary metabolism to be significantly altered. Nitrogen (N)-metabolism and content of amino acids and other N-containing metabolites were significantly reduced, whereas the organic acids fumarate and malate were strongly increased. We suggest that reduction of N-metabolites in systemic, yet non-infected leaves primes defence against bacterial infection by reducing the nutritional value of systemic tissue. The increased organic acids serve as a quickly available metabolic resource of energy and carbon-building blocks for the production of defence metabolites during subsequent secondary infections.

Neutralizing Antibodies against West Nile Virus from Human B Cells

Project description:<p>West Nile virus (WNV) infection is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause severe neurological illness. We analyzed the humoral response to WNV of subjects infected with WNV at different stages of the infection and at different levels of detail, from single cells to the repertoire level. We integrated single-cell analysis by microengraving with next-generation sequencing and identified four novel WNV neutralizing antibodies with potential use as therapeutics against WNV infection. The results indicate persistence of WNV-specific memory B cells and antibody-secreting cells in post-convalescent subjects and suggest that the antibody response itself does not predict the clinical severity of the disease. </p>

Gene expression timecourse from Dengue virus infected human endothelial cells

Project description:Dengue viruses cause two severe diseases that alter vascular fluid barrier functions, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). While the mechanisms that lead to vascular permeability are unknown, the endothelium plays a central role in regulating fluid and cellular efflux from capillaries. Thus, dysregulation of endothelial cells functions by dengue virus infection may contribute to pathogenesis and severe disease. We used microarrays to investigate the effect of dengue virus infection on gene expression within primary human endothelial cells at various times post infection and identified numerous upregulated antiviral and immune response genes. Early passage primary endothelial cells (HUVECs) were mock infected (no virus) or infected with dengue virus and total RNA collected at 3 timepoints: 12, 24, and 48 hours post infection. Multiple timepoints were analyzed to identify changes in gene expression levels over time. Gene expression from both mock infected and dengue virus infected endothelial cells was evaluated to determine fold induction at each timepoint.

Comparison of host cell gene expression in cowpox, monkeypox or vaccinia virus infected cells reveals virus-specific regulation of immune response genes

Project description:Orthopoxviruses are large DNA viruses which can cause disease in numerous host species. Even though the eradication of variola virus - the causative agent of human smallpox M-bM-^@M-^S succeeded, with the end of vaccinations several other orthopoxviruses emerged as potential threat to human health. For instance, animal-borne monkeypox virus, cowpox virus and closely related vaccinia virus are all capable of establishing zoonotic infections in humans. The disease caused by each virus differs in terms of expression and severity, but we still know little about the reasons for these different phenotypes. They may be explained by the unique repertoire of host cell modulating factors encoded by each virus. In this study, we aimed at characterizing the specific modulation of the host cells gene expression profile by orthopoxvirus infection. In our study we analyzed changes in host cell gene expression of HeLa cells after infection with cowpox virus, monkeypox virus or vaccinia virus and compared these to each other and to the gene expression profile of non-infected cells using Agilent Whole Genome Microarray technology. We could identify major differences in viral modulation of host cell immune response genes, especially an induction of genes involved in leukocyte migration and Toll-like receptor signalling in cowpox and monkeypox virus infected cells. This was not observed following vaccinia virus infection. If these differences contribute to the different clinical manifestation of cowpox, monkeypox and vaccinia virus infections in certain host species remains to be elucidated. We analyzed the gene expression profile of HeLa cells wich were either mock-infected or infected with Vaccinia virus strain IHD-W, Cowpox virus strain Brighton Red or Monkeypox virus strain MSF#6 at a multiplicity of infection of 5. Experiments were performed in duplicate. At 6 h post infection total RNA was isolated from infected cells and used for microarray analysis.

Glycerophospholipid remodeling is critical for orthoflavivirus infection

Project description:Flavivirus infection is tightly connected to host lipid metabolism. Here, we performed shotgun lipidomics of cells infected with neurotropic Zika, West Nile, and tick-borne encephalitis viruses, as well as dengue and yellow fever virus. Early in infection specific lipids accumulated, e.g., neutral lipids in Zika and some lyso-phospholipids in all infections. Ceramide levels increased following infection with viruses that cause a cytopathic effect. In addition, fatty acid desaturation as well as glycerophospholipid metabolism were significantly altered. Importantly, depletion of enzymes involved in phosphatidylserine metabolism as well as phosphatidylinositol biosynthesis reduced orthoflavivirus titers and cytopathic effects while inhibition of fatty acid monounsaturation only rescued from virus-induced cell death. Interestingly, interfering with ceramide synthesis had opposing effects on virus replication and cytotoxicity depending on the targeted enzyme. Thus, lipid remodeling by orthoflaviviruses includes distinct changes but also common patterns shared by several viruses that are needed for efficient infection and replication.

Virus-induced apoptosis in human cerebral organoids occurs primarily in committed neurons and is associated with a limited interferon stimulated gene response

Project description:La Crosse virus (LACV) is the leading cause of pediatric arboviral encephalitis in the USA. Although the hallmarks of disease are infection and apoptosis of neurons, there is limited knowledge of neuronal responses to virus infection at differing neurodevelopmental stages. Here, we infected induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC)-derived human cerebral organoids (COs) containing actively maturing populations of neuronal-lineage cells to examine this process. LACV readily infected COs and caused reduced cell viability. Although neural progenitors and committed neurons were similarly infected, significantly more committed neurons underwent apoptosis. Committed neurons expressed fewer interferon (IFN)-inducible transcripts in response to infection compared to neural progenitors, suggesting a poor anti-viral response. Treatment of infected COs with recombinant IFNs enhanced cell viability, demonstrating a therapeutic potential. This study demonstrates that LACV differentially induces apoptosis in neuronal-lineage cells depending on their stage of maturation and provides analysis for why these cells differ in their responses.
