Deep Characterization of the IFN-I/III-Stimulated Proteome in HBV-Transfected or Native HepG2 Cells

ABSTRACT: To expand knowledge of the effects of interferon at the proteomic level, we treated HepG2 cells with IFN-alpha and IFN-lambda for 24 hours. HepG2.2.15 cells, a model for HBV infection, were also examined versus controls. MTT assays showed that optimized IFN levels (100 ng/ml) did not induce apoptosis relative to untreated controls. Including controls, more than 6,000 proteins were identified. Five replicates each of IFN-alpha treatment, IFN-lambda treatment, and control were performed, allowing confident identification of differentially expressed proteins. While a number of publications suggest that no interferon effect is evident upon HBV infection, our own results strongly suggest otherwise. Differential alterations of the proteasome were noted when comparing HBV infection against IFN-treatment. We also note that differential effects upon IFN treatment significantly overlapped with transcriptomic datasets when upregulation was examined. However, proteins downregulated upon IFN treatment show little overlap with these transcriptomic datasets.

Interferons are commonly utilized in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection but are not effective for all patients. A deep understanding of the limitations of interferon treatment requires delineation of its activity at multiple "omic" levels. While myriad studies have characterized the transcriptomic effects of interferon treatment, surprisingly, few have examined interferon-induced effects at the proteomic level. To remedy this paucity, we stimulated HepG2 cells with both I ...[more]

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes both acute and chronic liver inflammation. Approximately 600,000 CHB patients each year die of HBV-related diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, CHB remains a global health concern. Although there have been anti-HBV agents for treating CHB, they have some limitations including viral-drug resistance and adverse effects. Type III IFN or IFN-λ is promising to use as anti-HBV agents because of its anti-viral activities like type I IFNs. In addition, the expression of its receptor, IFNLR1, is limited only in epithelial cells including hepatocytes. Thus, treatment with IFN-lambda results in less side effects compared to IFN-alpha treatment. IFN-lambdas have been shown to inhibit the replication of several viruses including IAV, DENV, EMCV, HIV, HCV, and HBV; however, there have been no studies on the effects of IFN-λ3, the highest activity among other subtypes, on HBV replication. Therefore, this study aims to determine antiviral activities of IFN-λ3 against HBV replication and to investigate its molecular mechanism responsible for suppressing HBV propagation. The results showed that HBV transcripts and amount of intracellular HBV DNA were decreased in HepG2.2.15 cells, stable HBV-transfected hepatoblastoma cell line, treated with IFN-λ3 in a dose-dependent manner. This indicated that IFN-λ3 could inhibit HBV replication. Next, we performed quantitative proteomics to investigate the proteome changes in HepG2.2.15 treated with IFN-λ3. The proteins that changed their expressions were involved in several biological processes such as defense to viral infection, immune responses, cell-cell adhesion, transcription, translation, and metabolism. We further confirmed the proteomics results by immunoblotting assay. Consistent with MS data, it found that the expression of OAS3, SAMHD1 and STAT1 were increased as a result of IFN-λ3 stimulation. These results indicated that proteomics results were reproducible and reliable. Finally, we proposed 3 possible mechanisms involved in suppressing HBV replication including i.) IFN-λ3 induced anti-viral proteins affecting many steps in HBV life cycle ii.) IFN-λ3 promoted antigen processing and antigen presentation and iii.) IFN-λ3 rescued RIG-I signaling to promote both type I and type III IFN production.

Project description:Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is approved as a drug to treat chronic granulomatous disease and osteopetrosis and is also used in hyperimmunoglobulin E syndromes. These primary immunodeficiencies involve defects in neutrophils/polymorphonuclear cells. Neutrophils mature in the bone marrow and then enter the blood where they quickly undergo apoptotic cell death with a half-life of 5-10 hours. Therefore we reasoned that IFN-gamma might exert its effects on neutrophils via prolonged exposure to cells undergoing maturation toward a terminally differentiated state in the marrow rather than by its brief exposure to short-lived circulating cells. To explore this possibility we made use of PLB-985 cells which are a myeloblast-like myeloid cell line that can be differentiated into a mature, neutrophil-like state by treatment with various agents including DMSO. In initial studies we investigated transcription and protein expression in PLB-985 cells undergoing DMSO-mediated maturation in the presence or absence of IFN-gamma and identified several classes of immunity related genes that were differentially expressed in the presence of the drug and could potentially explain the immune supportive properties of IFN-gamma. Next we explored if the effect of IFN-gamma on expression of these genes is dependent on whether the cells are undergoing maturation; to do this we compared the effects of IFN-gamma on cells cultured with and without DMSO. For a subset of genes the expression level changes caused by IFN-gamma were much greater in maturing cells than non-maturing cells. These findings indicate that developmental changes associated with cell maturation can modulate the effects of IFN-gamma and supports our hypothesis that the effects of the drug on developing neutrophils in the bone marrow may be very different from its effects on mature cells in the blood. We also compared the effects on gene expression of applying IFN-gamma either during DMSO mediated PLB-985 cell maturation or after maturation i.e. IFN-gamma was applied to already mature cells. For some genes we found that IFN-gamma applied to mature cells caused large changes in expression similar to those seen when IFN-gamma was applied during maturation, however for other genes no effect was seen when drug was applied to mature cells but large effects were seen when drug was applied during DMSO treatment. This data suggests that, in the former class of genes, the effects of IFN-gamma application during maturation are largely the result of the effects of the drug on cells approaching full maturity but in the latter class of genes the effects of IFN-gamma only become apparent when it is present throughout maturation. This further supports our hypothesis that the effects of IFN-gamma are modulated by developmental changes associated with cell maturation.

Project description:The same entry pathway is shared by HBV and HDV. Both viruses attach to hepatocytes via heparansulfate proteoglycan and utilize sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) for a specifc entry. This specific entry step is inhibited by Myrcludex B, a 47-aa lipopeptide myristoylated at the N-terminus. Here we compared the cellular response in the gene expression level triggerred by both viruses. The microarray data shows that HBV infection leads to a silent response but HDV infection triggers high level of innate response such as inteferon-stimulated genes (ISG) expression. Moreover, the response depends on the hepatic cell lines used for infection. Compared to HepG2 cells, HuH7 can not induce ISG even infected by HDV. Abstract of manuscript: Background & aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and D virus (HDV) co-infections cause the most severe form of viral hepatitis. HDV induces an innate immune response, but it is unknown how the host cell senses HDV and if this defense affects HDV replication. We aim to characterize interferon (IFN) activation by HDV, identify the responsible sensor and evaluate the effect of IFN on HDV replication. Methods: HDV and HBV susceptible hepatoma cell lines and primary human hepatocytes (PHH) were used for infection studies. Viral markers and cellular gene expression were analyzed at different time points after infection. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) required for HDV-mediated IFN activation and the impact on HDV replication were studied using stable knock-down or overexpression of the PRRs. Results: Microarray analysis revealed that HDV but not HBV infection activated a broad range of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in HepG2NTCP cells. HDV strongly activated IFN-β and IFN-λ in cell lines and PHH. HDV induced IFN levels remained unaltered upon RIG-I or TLR3 knock-down, but were almost completely abolished upon MDA5 depletion. Conversely, overexpression of MDA5 but not RIG-I and TLR3 in Huh7.5NTCP cells partially restored ISG induction. During long-term infection, IFN levels gradually diminished in both HepG2NTCP and HepaRGNTCP cell lines. MDA5 depletion had little effect on HDV replication despite dampening HDV-induced IFN response. Moreover, treatment with type I or type III IFNs did not abolish HDV replication. Conclusions: Active replication of HDV induces an IFN-β/λ response, which is predominantly mediated by MDA5. This IFN response and exogenous IFN treatment have only a moderate effect on HDV replication in vitro indicating the adaption of HDV replication to an IFN activated state.
