Project description:The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne Flavivirus and can be transmitted through an infected mosquito bite or through human-to-human interaction by sexual activity, blood transfusion, breastfeeding or perinatal exposure. After the 2015-2016 outbreak in Brazil, a strong link between ZIKV infection and microcephaly emerged. ZIKV specifically targets human neural progenitor cells, suggesting that proteins encoded by ZIKV bind and inactivate host cell proteins leading to microcephaly. Here, we present a systematic annotation of interactions between human proteins and the seven non-structural ZIKV proteins corresponding to a Brazilian isolate. The interaction network was generated by combining tandem-affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry with yeast two-hybrid screens. We identified 150 human proteins, involved in distinct biological processes, as interactors to ZIKV non-structural proteins. Our interacting network is composed of proteins that have been previously associated with microcephaly in human genetic disorders and/or animal models. This study builds on previously published interacting networks of ZIKV and genes related to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly to generate a catalog of human cellular targets of ZIKV proteins implicated in processes related to microcephaly in humans. Collectively, this data can be used as a resource for future characterization of ZIKV infection biology and help create a basis for the discovery of drugs which may disrupt the interaction and reduce the health damage to the fetus.

Project description:Zika Virus (ZIKV) infection has been associated with fetal abnormalities by compromising placental integrity. Flavivirus have shown deregulation of the host proteome, specially extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Our hypothesis is that ZIKV infection of placental tissue deregulates specific ECM proteome, allowing a mechanism of persistent infection and loss of placental integrity. Using nine different placental samples from Puerto Rico collected during 2016 ZIKV epidemic, we compared the proteome of five ZIKV infected samples with uninfected controls. Quantitative proteomics was performed using tandem mass tag TMT10plex™ Isobaric Label Reagent Set followed by Q Exactive™ Hybrid Quadrupole Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry. Identification of proteins was performed by Proteome Discover 2.1, and protein fold change in both groups was compared using Limma software. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed with STRING and Ingenuity Pathway using both the fold change and p-value. TMT analysis showed that ZIKV infected placentas had 94 reviewed differentially abundant proteins, 32 More abundant and 62 Less abundant. STRING analysis results indicate that 45 of the deregulated proteins are cellular components of the ECM and 16 play a role in its structure and organization. Some of the significantly More abundant proteins were Fibrinogen, Vitronectin and Fibronectin. The results we observed in the samples from naturally infected pregnant women may contribute to the understanding of the mechanism (s) employed by ZIKV during placental infection and give insight on novel targets used to disrupt placental function.

Project description:Purpose: While type I interferons (IFN) are important for control of viral replication, we see that, upon infection of Ifnar-/- females were crossed to Ifnar+/- males with ZIKV, only Ifnar+/- fetuses are resorbed or develop severe growth restriction. To identify how IFN may be altering placenta development, we performed RNAsequencing on infected and uninfected Ifnar-/- and Ifnar+/- placentas. Methods: Ifnar-/- females were crossed to Ifnar+/- males and infected intravaginally with Cambodian ZIKV at E5.5. Placentas were harvested from infected and uninfected pregnant dams at E10.5. Results/ Conclusions: Comparison of ZIKV-infected Ifnar-/- and Ifnar+/- shows an elevated interferon stimulated gene (ISG) signature in Ifnar+/- placentas but does not reveal any underlying developmental defects that may be causing defects in placenta development.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) compromises the placental integrity infecting the fetus. However, the mechanisms associated with ZIKV penetration into the placenta leading to fetal infection, are unknown. Cystatin B (CSTB), the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO (AXL) have been implicated in inflammation. The purpose of this work iis work aims to investigate CSTB, RAGE, and AXL receptor expression in ZIKV infected placental tissues at term. The hypothesis is that in ZIKV-infected placenta, there is overexpression of CSTB and increased inflammation affecting the RAGE and AXL receptor expression. Pathological analyses of 22 placentas were performed to determine changes caused by ZIKV infection. Quantitative proteomics, immunofluorescence, and Western Blot analysis were performed to analyze proteins and pathways affected by ZIKV infection in frozen placenta. Pathological The pathological analysis confirmed decreased size of capillaries, hyperplasia of Hofbauer cells, disruption in the trophoblasts layer, and cell agglutination associated to with ZIKV infection of placental tissue. ZIKV infection was mostly localized to the trophoblast layer. There was a significant decrease in the expression of CSTB, RAGE and AXLCSTB, RAGE and AXL expression in ZIKV positive placenta. This downregulation can impair immune responses and facilitate virus penetration into the placenta. Results are consistent with our previous studies and literature of on ZIKV infection by activation ofng Inflammasome and Pyroptosis through caspase 1 upregulation and affecting the cellular structure, tissue remodeling, and cell differentiation by upregulation of tubulin beta and heat shock protein 27.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has caused severe unexpected clinical outcomes in neonates and adults during the recent outbreak in Latin America, particularly in Brazil. Congenital malformations associated with ZIKV have been frequently reported; nevertheless, the mechanism of vertical transmission and the involvement of placental cells remains unclear. In this study, we applied quantitative proteomics analysis in a floating explant model of chorionic villi of human placental tissues incubated with ZIKV and with ZIKV pre-adsorbed with anti-ZIKV envelope protein. The regulation of specific proteins was measured using immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase assays. Altered levels of proteins were involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory processes, and the integrin-cytoskeleton complex. Antibody-opsonized ZIKV particles differentially modulated the pattern of protein expression in placental cells; this phenomenon may play a pivotal role in determining the course of infection and the role of mixed infections. These data fill gaps in our understanding of ZIKV in the placenta and help identify infection control targets.

Project description:Zika virus is a global public health emergency due to its association with microcephaly, Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuropathy, and myelitis in children and adults. A total of 87 countries have had evidence of autochthonous mosquito-borne transmission of Zika virus, distributed across four continents, and no antivirus therapy or vaccines are available. Therefore, several strategies have been developed to target the main mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti, to reduce the burden of different arboviruses. Among such strategies, the use of the maternally-inherited endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis has been applied successfully to reduce virus susceptibility and decrease transmission. However, the mechanisms by which Wolbachia orchestrate resistance to ZIKV infection remains to be elucidated. In this study, we apply quantitative isobaric mass spectrometry-based proteomics to quantify proteins and identify pathways altered during ZIKV infection; Wolbachia infection; co-infection with Wolbachia/ZIKV in the Ae. aegypti. We show that Wolbachia regulates proteins involved in ROS production, regulates humoral immune response, and antioxidant production. The reduction of ZIKV polyprotein in the presence of Wolbachia in the mosquitoes was determined by mass spectrometry and corroborates the idea that Wolbachia helps to block ZIKV infections in Ae. aegypti. The present study offers a rich resource of data to help elucidate mechanisms by which Wolbachia orchestrate resistance to ZIKV infection in Ae. aegypti.

Project description:Background: The developing field of osteoimmunology supports importance of an interferon(IFN) response pathway in osteoblasts. Clarifying osteoblast-IFN interactions is important because IFN is used as salvage anti-tumor therapy but systemic toxicity is high with variable clinical results. In addition, osteoblast response to systemic bursts and disruptions of IFN pathways induced by viral infection may influence bone remodeling. ZIKA virus(ZIKV) infection impacts bone development in humans and IFN response in vitro. Consistently, initial evidence of permissivity to ZIKV has been reported in human osteoblasts. Hypothesis: Osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV and responsive to IFN. Methods: Multiple approaches were used to assess whether Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV infection and exhibit IFN-mediated ZIKV suppression. Proteomic methods were used to evaluate impact of ZIKV and IFN on Saos-2 cells. Results: Evidence is presented confirming Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV and support IFN-mediated suppression of ZIKV. ZIKV and IFN differentially impact the Saos-2 proteome. Both ZIKV and IFN suppress proteins associated with microcephaly/pseudo-TORCH syndrome (BI1, KIF20 and UBP18), and ZIKV induces potential entry factor PLVAP. Conclusions: Transient ZIKV infection influences osteoimmune state, and IFN and ZIKV activate distinct proteomes in Saos-2 cells, which could inform therapeutic, engineered, disruptions.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes microcephaly and has been linked to other brain abnormalities. How ZIKV impairs brain development and function remains elusive. Here we systematically profiled transcriptomes of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and astrocytes exposed to Asian ZIKVC, African ZIKVM, and Dengue virus (DENV). DENV causes distinct gene expression changes; and ZIKV has a broader impact on the expression of gene involved in DNA replication and repair. While overall expression profiles are similar, ZIKVC, but not ZIKVM, induces upregulation of viral response genes. Upon ZIKV infection, astrocytes exhibit more prominent transcriptome changes than hNPCs, particularly enriching genes related to inflammatory response and cytokine production pathways. Our analyses reveal cell-type- and strain-specific molecular signatures associated with ZIKV infection, and identify astrocytes as a major direct target of ZIKV. Further investigation of ZIKV-host interactions based our transcriptomic datasets may help to illuminate neural virulence determinants of ZIKV in patients.

Project description:Background: Maternal iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The effect is thought to be mediated by the placenta but there is no comprehensive assessment of placental response to maternal ID. Additionally, whether the influence of maternal ID on the placenta differs by fetal sex is unknown. Objectives: Our primary aim was to identify gene and protein signatures of ID mouse placentas at mid-gestation. A secondary objective was to profile the expression of iron genes in mouse placentas across gestation. Methods: We used a real-time PCR based array to determine the mRNA expression of all known iron genes in mouse placentas at embryonic day (E) 12.5, E14.5, E16.5, and E19.5 (n=3 placentas/time point). To determine the effect of maternal ID, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomics in male and female placentas from ID and iron adequate mice at E12.5 (n=8 dams/diet). Results: In female placentas, six genes including transferrin receptor (Tfrc) and solute carrier family 11 member 2 were significantly changed by maternal ID. An additional 154 genes were altered in male ID placentas. Proteomic analysis quantified 7662 proteins in the placenta. Proteins translated from iron responsive element (IRE) containing mRNAs were altered in abundance; ferritin and ferroportin 1 decreased while TFRC increased in ID placenta. Less than 4% of the significantly altered genes in ID placentas occurred both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that the impact of maternal ID on placental gene expression in mice is limited in scope and magnitude at mid-gestation. We provide strong evidence for IRE-based transcriptional and translational coordination of iron gene expression in the mouse placenta. Finally, we discover sexually dimorphic effects of maternal ID on placental gene expression, with more genes and pathways altered in male compared with female mouse placentas.

Project description:Zika is a vector-borne disease caused by an arbovirus (ZIKV) and overwhelmingly transmitted by Ae. aegypti. This disease is linked to adverse fetal outcomes, mostly microcephaly in newborns, and other clinical aspects such as acute febrile illness and neurologic complications, for example Guillain-Barré syndrome. One of the actual most promising strategies to mitigate arbovirus transmission involves releasing Ae. aegypti mosquitoes carrying the maternally inherited endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia pipientis. The presence of Wolbachia is associated with a reduced susceptibility to arboviruses and a fitness cost in mosquito life-history traits as fecundity and fertility. However, the mechanisms by which Wolbachia influences metabolic pathways leading to differences in egg production remains poorly known. In order to investigate the impact of co-infections on the reproductive tract of the mosquito, we applied a quantitative proteomic strategy based on an isobaric labeling to investigate the influence of Wolbachia wMel and ZIKV infection in Ae. aegypti ovaries. For what we know, this is the most complete proteome of Ae. aegypti ovaries reported so far, with a total of 3913 proteins identified. We were able to quantify a total of 1044 Wolbachia proteins in complex sample tissue of Ae. aegypti ovary employing mass spectrometry-based quantitative methods. Furthermore, we describe and discuss proteins and pathways altered in Ae. aegypti during ZIKV infections, Wolbachia infections, co-infection Wolbachia/ZIKV, and compared with no infection, focusing on immune and reproductive aspects of Ae. aegypti.
