Повний текст джерелаDengue fever, one of the most widely emerging diseases nowadays with 390 million infections each year (WHO), is caused by Dengue virus in which no official antiviral reagent or vaccine is available. The NS5 protein has an important role in the replication cycle. This protein consists of a S-adenosyl methionine transferase at N-terminal and a RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) at C-terminal. This NS5 RdRp can catalyse for not only synthesis of minus-strand RNA to be used as the template to synthesize additional plus-strand RNA but also synthesizing a complement RNA from a short RNA template without primer (de novo). In this research we present the production and activity test for NS5 protein and N-terminal extended sequence 266-900 from NS5 RdRp of all first four serotypes of Dengue virus and a construct of sequence 273-900 using a new enzymatic assay, using Picogreen as fluorescent reagent. Using this fluorescent reagent also helped determining the optimised conditions to develop a screening assay for inhibitors against dengue polymerase activity. In addition, four flavonoids, Hinokiflavone, Apigenin, Quercetin and Amentoflavone showed approximate IC50 values when testing on all NS5 and polymerase protein constructs of all four serotypes

Повний текст джерелаDengue virus causes dengue fever, which may evolve towards life-threatening hemorrhagic fever. My research projectfocuses on dengue replication, and more precisely on the mechanism of NS5 at the molecular/atomic level. NS5 is a bifunctionalenzyme containing two domains: 1) a methyltransferase domain essential for translation of viral proteins, 2) apolymerase domain synthesizing the viral RNA genome. First, we demonstrated the main role of the polymerase in theconservation of 5' and 3' ends of dengue genome and anti-genome RNAs. Next, I showed the influence of themethyltransferase domain on the activity of the polymerase domain. I also developed a system allowing mechanistic studiesusing pre-steady state kinetics to characterize NS5 in depth. I have made use of this system to determine the catalyticparameters of NS5 towards its substrates. Using the same pre-steady state system, I was able to test the polymerase activityof NS5 with capped and uncapped 5'-triphosphate RNAs of different lengths corresponding to the 5'-end of the dengue RNAgenome. The polymerase activity of NS5 is significantly affected by the presence of the 5'-cap, which allowed me to designan experimental set-up pointing to a minimal physical distance of around 13 nucleotides between the methyltransferase andpolymerase active sites. My work will be useful to characterize the biophysics of NS5 in complex with its RNA and NTPsubstrates, and then to determine the crystal structure of such complex at play during viral RNA synthesis. Knowing thedetailed NS5 mechanism paves the way to inhibit its action and thus design drugs aiming at stopping a viral infection

Повний текст джерелаFrom 50 to 100 million cases of dengue illness occurred every year in the world. Today, dengue virus is a public health problem with its emergence in Europe, particularly in France. DENV infection can be asymptomatic or be responsible for three distinct pathologies: one with flu-like symptoms (DF), another with moderate hemorrhage (DHF) and the last one with severe bleeding leading to shock syndrome (DSS). Host factors have an important role in the development of severe forms but implicated viral virulence factors stay not well described. The aim of this research work was to better understand these viral factors through study of dengue serotype 3 genotype III dynamics of circulation in Africa and through the characterization of three dengue serotype 1 strains in Cambodia. This work highlighted the circulation of variants during epidemics, allowing us to suppose that the presence of variants permits a better dissemination, as well as specific phenotypic and genotypic characteristics in vitro of strains associated with hemorrhagic forms or forms with shock syndrome in humans. These works were completed by the development of an original system of detection of dengue virus and other viruses of genus Flavivirus. This research work allowed identifying potential virulence factor specific to virus, opening the way for research on the role of certain viral proteins in pathogenicity

Повний текст джерелаThe identification of targets of early immune responses associated with control of HIV-1 infection will inform immunogen design for vaccine interventions. The early evolution of transmitted/founder subtype C virus sequences was investigated to determine the location and frequency of immune selection, and the impact of early immune escape mutations on viral replicative capacity. Single-genome amplified env sequences from 26 acutely-infected women were evaluated for conformance to a model of random evolution to elucidate multiplicity of infection. Near fulllength genome sequences from the first six months of infection were generated for five women and sites evolving under immune selection were mapped. CD8+ cytotoxic Tlymphocyte escape mutations in HLA-B-restricted epitopes were introduced into infectious molecular clones of cognate transmitted/founder viruses by site-directed mutagenesis and their impact on viral replicative fitness was evaluated using parallel replication assays. In 77% of women (n=20) a single transmitted/founder variant established infection and two to five variants in the remaining 23% (n=6). Near full-length genome sequencing in five women confirmed single variant/low-diversity transmission and identified fifty-five genome regions evolving under immune selection, 40% of which was attributed to CD8+ cytotoxic Tlymphocyte pressure, 35% to antibody-mediated pressure, 16% to reversion and 9% could not be classified. The rate of sequence diversification and number of sites evolving under immune selection was highest in nef. The majority of evolving CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitopes (82%) contained shuffling/toggling mutations. A novel B*15:10-associated mutation, A164T, combined with a V85A Pol mutation reduced viral replication capacity in one individual. In a second individual, the attenuating HLA-B*58:01-associated mutation, T242N, enhanced viral replication capacity due to pre-existing compensatory polymorphisms in the transmitted/founder virus. A third individual, who had extremely rapid disease progression, was infected with the virus with the highest replication capacity. This thesis describes the complex nature of early immune selection and escape in transmitted/founder viruses. Although attenuating escape mutations were identified in viruses from two individuals, this was not associated with clinical benefit. The extensive variability of epitopes evolving under early selection may implicate many early immune targets as poor candidates for vaccine immunogens; however some early targets may be useful if clinical benefit is conferred through attenuating escape mutations.

Повний текст джерелаThe study of Hepatitis C virus ( HCV) cycle and the discovery of new therapy have been hampered by the lack efficient virus culture systems. We assessed adsorption and replication of HCV on five cell lines. Monkey Vero cells and mosquito AP61 cells were selected for their ability to blind and replicate HCV and to support 4 virus passages. HCV adsorption was studies using Vero cells and quantification of virus RNA by a real time RT-PCR method. This work showed that cellular glycosaminoglycans were involved in HCV adsorption. These molecules were shown to have an important role in the binding of tow other Flaviviridea , Dengue virus and Yellow fever virus which were studies in parralel, as models, by virus titration in cell culture. The important role of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor in HCV adsporption was confirmed ( the viral binding was inhibited by LDL and anti-LDL receptor antibody). The methods descripted in this study might be screening of molecules inhibiting Flaviviridae cell-adsorption

Повний текст джерелаIn the kissing-loop model of HIV-1 genome dimerization, HIV-1 RNA dimerization is initiated by base pairing between the ACS of one RNA monomer and that of an adjacent monomer.
To understand the role of the ACS in HIV-1 replication and HIV-1 genomic RNA dimerization, we replaced the central CGCG261 (or tetramer) of the HIV-1 Lai ACS by other tetramers. Genomic RNAs containing the UUAA tetramer (non-HIV-1 tetramer) were half dimeric, but UUAA genome packaging was unaffected. This was the first evidence that genomic RNA dimerization and packaging can be dissociated (Chapter 2). Destroying stem-loop C reduced genomic RNA dimerzation by ~50%, proviral DNA synthesis by ~85%, and reduced viral infectivity by ~3 logarithmic units. Destroying stem-loop B had similar effects on genome dimerization, reverse transcription, and viral infectivity. We also observed that mutations in stem-loop B and in the DIS hairpin were "non additive" (Chapter 2).
The existence of stem-loop C is supported by phylogenetic evidence, while that of stem-loop B is not, namely, its sequence is completely conserved. We investigated the role of stem B and loop B nucleotides in viral replication, and genomic RNA dimerization. The putative CUCG246/CGAG277 duplex was replaced by 9 alternative complementary sequences, 4 likely to base pair in long (~500 nts) RNAs, as assessed by the algorithm mfold. Among the 4 sequences, 3 preserved genome dimerzation, 1 did not significantly inhibit it, and 2 preserved viral replication. We also asked if 9 deletions or nucleotide substitutions within nucleotide 200 to 242 and/or 282 to 335 could influence genome dimerization. Delta200--226 and Delta236--242 genomic RNAs dimerized relatively poorly despite having neutral or positive influences on stem B, loop B and klh folding (Chapter 3).
Mutations within the Matrix, Capsid, p2 and nucleocapsid genes suppress several functional defects caused by KLD destruction. We tested the effect of these suppressor mutations on genome dimerization and infectiousness of viruses bearing moderate to crippling KLD mutations. Our conclusion is that these suppressor mutations can restore genomic RNA dimerization when DIS is weakened, but not when DIS is denatured or the KLD is destroyed (Chapter 4).

Повний текст джерелаSevere forms of infection with yellow fever virus (YFV) and dengue virus (DENV) are characterized by liver damage, with more severe symptoms observed during YFV infection. The aim of this thesis is to compare YFV and DENV infections in a model of human hepatocytes derived from stem cells (iHeps) in order to identify factors that could explain their difference in pathogenesis.First, we compared YFV tropism to the four DENV serotypes in 2D iHeps. We observed a low spread of DENV compared to YFV in both iHeps and primary hepatocytes. By using chimeric 17D/DENV strains, we demonstrate that this low propagation is linked to a low DENV entry efficiency in hepatocytes. We also studied infection in iHeps spheroids, metabolically closer to primary cells than 2D iHeps. A productive infection was observed with YFV only. The low accessibility of cells inside the spheroids could explained this result. Second, we studied cellular responses induced following infection by different viruses in 2D iHeps using an RNAseq approach. Preliminary results suggest a link between replication rate and the number of activated genes. The interferon response is detected earlier following YFV infection, but DENV induces a greater number of genes implicated in this pathway. Moreover, DENV-1 and DENV-4 up-regulate some genes involved in antigen presentation such as HLA-E and TAP-2, while YFV down-regulates genes encoding chemokines and adhesion molecules. Preliminary analysis of hepatic metabolism pathways reveals inhibition of the coagulation pathway induced by YFV infection, which is not observed during DENV infection. Similar observations have been described in vivo, at the protein level, confirming the relevance of the iHeps model

Повний текст джерелаThe hepatitis C virus genome consists of a linear positive sens (+) single-stranded RNA. RNA-RNA interactions play an essential role in the regulation of the viral cycle.RNA synthesis is performed by the RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp) encoded by the virus. It would be initiated at the 3 'end of the molecule to be replicated. A complementary genomic RNA of negative polarity (-) is first synthesized. It then serves as a matrix for the production of genomic strands. The mechanisms that govern the recruitment of the polymerase and the initiation of RNA synthesis remain poorly understood today.The RNA structures found at the 3 'ends and their roles have therefore been studied during the work of this thesis. At the 3 'end of the (+) RNA, dimerization was shown to be essential for replication of the virus in cellulo. This work made it possible to characterize by gel shift assay and cryo-microscopy the dimerization of the genomic RNAs in solution. At the 3 'end of (-) RNA, the dimerization of two molecules could also be characterized by biochemical and biophysical approaches. Moreover, the presence of a G-quadruplex introduces a conformational reshuffle which proves to be indispensable for an efficient RNA synthesis. Similarly to the genomic strand, the resulting structural dynamics of these interactions appear to be necessary for efficient RNA replication by the RdRp.The results obtained here underline the importance of dimerization and conformational variations at the 3 'ends for RNA replication. These data then open the way to new perspectives on understanding the mechanisms that govern the functioning of HCV polymerase

Повний текст джерелаStudies on virus-host interactions are decisive to enhance our understanding on how African swine fever virus (ASFV) subverts cellular mechanisms, and also to better characterize host nucleus changes enabling this infection. Immunofluorescence studies and immunoblotting analysis of ASFV-infected cells, allowed us to identify the Ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) pathway as the specific DNA damage response (DDR) mechanism activated by ASFV infection. Additionally, the use of ATR kinase-dead cells confirmed that ATR has an essential role for the infection success. The viral intranuclear replication was then pursued using BrdU-pulse experiments, supported on previous reports about ASFV genome presence inside the host nucleus and the proven ATR activation. BrdU-labelled DNA molecules confirmed the active viral replication at early infection times, exclusively within the cell nucleus. Related spatial and morphological nuclear changes during ASFV infection were further addressed, particularly on subnuclear domains and host chromatin epigenetic signatures. Promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), nuclear speckles and Cajal bodies displayed major alterations, accompanied by a repressive nuclear environment. PML knockdown revealed an essential proviral activity for ASFV successful infection. Herein, suggestions on how this work may help in the development of therapeutic strategies against ASFV infections can be found.
ABSTRACT - Estudo espacio-temporal das alterações morfo-funcionais do núcleo celular durante a infeção pelo vírus da peste suína africana - Estudar as interacções vírus-núcleo da célula hospedeira é fundamental para melhor compreendermos a subversão dos mecanismos nucleares pelo Vírus da peste suína africana (VPSA), e como estas facilitam a infecção. Ensaios de imunofluorescência e expressão proteica (imunodetecção) permitiram a identificação da via ATR (Ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related) como mecanismo de reparação de ADN especificamente activado pelo VPSA. Seguidamente, através de células modificadas na expressão de ATR, confirmou-se o papel essencial do ATR para esta infecção. Atendendo às evidências de presença do vírus no núcleo celular e à activação da via ATR, quisemos desvendar a replicação intranuclear do VPSA pelo meio de ensaios pulso-caça de BrdU. Moléculas de ADN marcadas com BrdU confirmaram a replicação viral, exclusivamente no núcleo, na fase precoce da infecção. Seguiu-se o estudo das alterações espaciais e morfológicas do núcleo induzidas pelo VPSA, particularmente as modificações dos sub-domínios nucleares e das assinaturas epigenéticas da cromatina da célula. Domínios PML (Promyelocytic leukaemia), speckles nucleares e corpos de Cajal mostram-se alterados, associando-se a um ambiente nuclear repressivo. Estudos funcionais da proteína PML revelaram o seu papel proviral desta infecção. Nesta tese apresentam-se ainda sugestões acerca do potencial destes estudos para o desenvolvimento de estratégias terapêuticas no combate anti-viral.

Dengue virus (DENV) infection can causes dengue fever and potentially lethal diseases such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Until now, there is no effective vaccine or therapeutic drugs that can be used specifically to block DENV replication in clinic. One of the difficulties of developing anti-DENV drugs is lacking of a suitable platform for compound selection. Thus, we constructed a sequence which contains secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) and dengue NS2B-NS3 cutting site, followed by ligation with vector pEGFP-C1. After transient transfection of pEG(Δ2B3)SEAP into HuH7 and HT29 cells, results showed that the EGFP signals were degraded after few passages of cell culture. According to previous studies, the midgut trypsin activity can affect DENV-2 infection and dissemination in Aedes aegypti. In order to investigate the role of proteases in DENV replication, we used inhibitors that can inhibit trypsin, chymotrypsin or both of them to understand the effect of cellular enzymes on DENV replication. Supplementation of pEG(Δ2B3)SEAP transfected cells with trypsin inhibitor revealed that the dregradation of EGFP signals was inhibited. Furthermore, tosyl phenylalanyl chloromethyl keton (TPCK), which is a chymotrypsin-like protease and NF-κB inhibitor, demonstrated the most significant inhibitory ability. We then used several NF-κB inhibitors to investigate the role of NF-κB during DENV infection. The results revealed that NF-κB not only inhibit DENV-induced autoaphgy, which is acquired for DENV replication, but also decrease the level of DENV-induced cell apoptosis, and the production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were also decreased after inhibition of NF-κB. Taken together, these results suggested that both trypsin-like enzymes and NF-κB activation play important roles in DENV replication, DENV-induced autophagy and apoptosis, and MIF secretion. Combination of protease and NFκB inhibitors may provide an alternative therapeutic strategy for dengue patients.

The unbranched rod-like structure of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is dependent on host RNA polymerase for its replication and transcription. The HDAg mRNA transcribed from HDV genome has a 5’ cap and 3’ poly(A) tail consistent with its role as mRNA for translation of the HDAg which is involved in HDV replication and assembly. Although it is agreed that RNA pol II is involved in the replication to produce HDV genomic RNA, the RNA polymerase involved in the replication to produce HDV antigenomic RNA is not sure. Furthermore, the HDV RNA promoter regions required for the transcription and replication are not clear. In order to identify the promoter region in HDV RNA replication and transcription, first, I constructed HDV mini-genome, and the cis-elements localized in the end of rod-like structure of HDV are important to HDV replication. Second, I constructed RNA recombinant, and the rod-like structure of HDV is required for the genome replication, but not for HDAg-mRNA transcription. According to the results, I constructed the plasmids to produce different HDV RNA fragments that contain HDAg ORF and the potential promoter region. This data showed that the potential RNA promoter region for HDV transcription is located on the top of rod-like structure of HDV. In these results, two experimental systems which were designed to investigate the potential promoter region for HDV replication and transcription were established, and the specific region is remained to be identified.

ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DV) infection is a major problem in public health because it can cause fatal diseases such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Unfortunately, there is no specific antiviral treatment or prophylaxis vaccine because the lack of understanding of pathogenesis. Even the most important question, which cells are infected by virus in humans remains to be determined. Monocytes have long been assumed to be the major virus producer, however, recent reports demonstrated that most DV was found in B cells but not in monocytes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of infected patients. Using B cell line, my research established that DV2 (PL 046) replicated in Raji cells from 4 to 120 hours post infection at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 and that a 1:60,000 dilution of human DV3 immune serum (5 fold beyond the neutralizing titer) yielded antibody dependent enhancement effect. Meanwhile, I investigated DV infection, antibody-enhanced virus infection, and cytokines responses of human primary B cells and compared them with those of monocytes. The presence of replication template (negative strand RNA intermediate), virus antigens (envelope, core and nonstructural proteins), and increasing amount of viruses in infected B cells indicated the DV actively replicated in B cells. Additionally, the levels of virus replication, antibody-enhanced virus replication, and cytokine response observed in B cells are comparable to those in monocytes. The results indicated cells support DV growth and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of DV-induced disease.

Mosquitoes are one of the fatal animals in the world and they act as vectors for several diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika, japanese encephalitis, West Nile fever, and chikungunya. Among these diseases, dengue fever is currently one of the world’s most important tropical diseases. Previous studies have indicated that the non-structural protein 5 (NS5) was able to translocate into the nucleus and influence the dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) infectivity in mammalian cell lines. However, the detail mechanisms of NS5-mediated infectivity remain largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the role of the dengue virus NS5 nuclear localization on DENV replication in the mosquito Aedes aegypti. We showed that dengue virus NS5 was localized in the nucleus only in the case of DENV2 (16681 strain) infection in Aedes aegypti. Next, we investigated the effect of NS5 nuclear localization in viral replication by application of Ivermectin, which was demonstrated to be an inhibitor for NS5 protein nuclear localization. We showed that treatment of Ivermectin resulted in the significant reduction of DENV2 replication and infectivity. We also showed that Caspar splicing was inhibited in the case of NS5 nuclear localization, suggesting the important role of NS5 nuclear localization on host mRNA splicing. In the future, we will further investigate the detail mechanisms underlying the regulation of NS5 nuclear localization on DENV2 replication and immune response modulation.

Dengue virus (DENV) infection has been a global public health challenge for the past 50 years. DENV is transmitted mainly by mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Autophagy was initially described as a key physiological process of cell survival where recently it has been demonstrated that autophagy plays an important role in the innate immunity against the microbes. However, autophagy as an innate immune mechanism has not been described in Ae. aegypti. In this study the autophagy biomarker:, LC3-II, was used to monitor the autophagic flux in Ae. aegypti. This study found that DENV2 infection can persistently induce autophagic flux in mosquitoes. The induction of autophagy by feeding mosquitoes with rapamycin; an autophagy inducer, can enhance DENV2 replication. A significant decrease of DENV2 replication was observed in Ae. aegypti fed with autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine and L-asparagine. Results from this study indicated that DENV 2 infection could induce autophagy machinery in Ae. aegypti which leads to enhanced viral replication in mosquitoes.

Dengue virus (DENV) encodes three structural proteins and seven nonstructural (NS) proteins. Most, if not all, DENV NS proteins are involved in viral replication. NS4B, the largest membrane associated NS protein, contains two membrane-associated domains and three trans-membrane domains (TMD3~TMD5). The role of NS4B in virus life cycle is less known compared to the cytoplasm located NS3 and NS5 proteins, each of which has multiple enzymatic activities. In this thesis, a reverse genetics approach was taken to assess the role of NS4B in DENV life cycle. Mutagenesis analysis was carried out on five conserved proline residues and the Lp45 region (the region between TMD 4 and TMD 5) of NS4B in the context of DENV replicons. The P104 to E, K, or R mutation (in TMD3) as well as the P200 to L mutation (in Lp45) of NS4B was deleterious to viral replication. Alanine scanning of the Lp45 showed that this region of NS4B needed to keep the native sequence for viral replication. Interestingly, some replication competent revertants of P104 and P200 mutants were identified, and these revertants had the #104 or #200 residue substituted to an accessible amino acid(s). Several revertants of the P200L mutant contained an intragenic second site mutation in TMD3, TMD4, or Lp45 of NS4B, and each second site mutation by itself was replication competent and they all had a rescuing effect on P200L mutation. Besides, an NS4A intergenic second site mutation was found to rescue the replication deficiency of NS4B P104E mutation. Some replication competent NS4B mutations were found to have deficiency in infectious virus production. Overall, the reverse genetic studies using the replicon system indicate that NS4B is essential to DENV life cycle and NS4B is likely to have interaction with other NS protein such as NS4A to exert its biological function.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that spatiotemporally target and modulate mRNAs in a post-transcriptional manner. Exploiting reverse genetics approach that engineering viruses by insertion of a tissue-specific miRNA recognition element (MRE) into viral mRNA can restrict viral tissue tropism during infection. It is intriguing to ask whether this miRNA targeting approach can also be applied to flavivirses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA viral genome lacking poly(A) tail. In this study we employed dengue virus (DEN) replicon as a model to investigate whether miRNAs are able to suppress flavivirus replication through the targeting of nonpolyadenylated and highly structured viral mRNA. Because liver infection by DEN may contribute to the virus pathogenesis, we inserted an MRE of hepatic-specific and liver-enriched microRNA-122 (miR-122) into its 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) to test the feasibility of creating a liver-restricted DEN replicon. Our results demonstrate that incorporation of miR-122 target sequence appears to confer upon the DEN replicon an inhibitory susceptibility to endogenous miR-122 or exogenous miR-122-like siRNA, suggesting that DEN can be engineered to exert the desired replication restriction effect to avoid infection of vital tissues/organs and may allow to further successfully construct an engineered DEN vector that was shown to be highly-susceptible to miRNA-mediated gene silencing. This approach provides an additional layer of biosafety and thus has a great potential for use in the rational development of safer flavivirus vaccines

Dengue is an arthropod-borne viral disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, caused by the four dengue virus serotypes (DENV 1–4), which are transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Until now, effective vaccine and positive treatment are not available, and the use of insecticides also leads to resistance in mosquito vectors. Therefore, the alternative strategies for mosquito vector control are needed. Genetic manipulation via RNA interference (RNAi) in the mosquito can permanently reduce vector competence and subsequent transmission of DENV to the human. Recent studies have found that expression of virus-specific double stranded RNAs is a potential way to block the DENV replication and vector competence to virus. In this study, using the mariner (Mos1) transposase and genomic integration system, we generated serial transgenic mosquito lines which express anti-viral microRNAs under the control of A. aegypti poly-ubiquitin (Pub), serine-type enodpeptidase (AAEL001703) and carboxypeptidase A (CPA) promoters. We verified the integration of the transgene in the mosquitoes by qPCR and Southern blot. By using virus challenge with viremic bloodmeal, the viral titer and infection rate was significantly suppressed in the transgenic mosquitoes of CPA>8-miRNA, Pub>8-miRNA and AAEL001703>4-miRNA at day-7 post bloodmeal, compared to those of wild type mosquitoes. Repeat bloodmeal on CPA>8-miRNA provided effective antiviral efficiency at day-14 post infection. Transmission in vitro of virus from CPA>8-miRNA line was significantly diminished when compared to Pub>8-miRNA and control mosquitoes at day-14 post bloodmeal. Our study provides an evidence for DENV control strategy which suppress viral replication via genetic manipulation of miRNA in Aedes aegypti.

Abstract The Dengue virus is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and is transmitted to people through the bite of the mosquitos Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It can cause dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Dengue vaccine is difficult to produce, because there are four serotypes of dengue virus, and the cross-infection of different serotype will have a high risk at the DHF/DSS development. So far, the most important aspect in treatment of DHF is to prevent further fluid loss. RNA interference (RNAi) is a key mechanism of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in which double-stranded, small interfering RNAs trigger a sequence-specific gene-silencing process. Dengue virus is a positive-strand RNA virus, and contains a single RNA genome and translates only a single polyprotein precursor. In this study, we introduce RNAi system against the polyprotein precursor, which can sufficiently inhibit dengue virus replication in mammalian cells. We constructed enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene on pSUPER vector. EGFP signal indicates that the cells were transfected with siRNA vectors successfully and pSUPER vector directs siRNAs synthesis in mammalian cells. The designed siRNAs were derived from the genome of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) membrane glycoprotein (MG), envelope protein (E), and non-structural protein 1 (NS1) regions. First, we used the MG, E or NS1-firefly luciferase fusion to screen effective siRNA targeting sequences separately. Subsequently, BHK-21 (baby hamster kidney-21) cells were transfected with effective siRNA vectors and challenged with DENV-2 for 24 hours. Then we assayed NS1 antigen content of the EGFP-expressing cells by flow cytometry and observed that the percentage of positive cells was significant reduction. Moreover, we fixed the DENV-2-infected BHK-21 cells on the slides for immunofluorescence staining and saw that EGFP-expressing cells had little virus NS1 and E antigens. We also collected the supernatants separately for plague-forming unit (PFU) assay and calculated that the virus titers decreased. Besides, transfecting effective siRNA vectors into BHK-21 cells could reduce the virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) and cell apoptosis. These results suggest that RNAi can block dengue virus replication in mammalian cells and offer a hope for the treatment of dengue virus infection on the therapeutic promise of RNAi

Dengue is a re-emerging disease which is endemic in more than 100 countries throughout Africa, South-East Asia, America, and the Western Pacific. Due to global warming effects, the dengue virus (DV) threat is broadening in the world. The symptoms are febrile illness called dengue fever to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Autophagy, a cellular catabolic system responsible for damaged organelles and misfolded proteins degradation, is reported to facilitate DV replication. A recent study showed that sindbis virus is associated with an autophagy adaptor protein p62 that leads to elimination of virus by autophagy. However, our data here indicate that p62 seems to be required for DV replication. Compared to WT MEF cells, less virus proteins, released DV particles and DV RNA were detected in DV-infected p62-deficient MEF cells. Significant decreased DV protein translation was also observed in p62 knockdown DV-replicon stable expressing cells. This facilitating role of p62 to DV replication is not limited in MEF cells but also in hepatocyes and monocytes. There were no differences in virus cell binding, endocytosis, interferon activation and autophagy induction between DV-infected WT and p62-deficient cells. Lipid accumulation by p62 deficiency also showed no contribution to DV replication. However, DV triggered high NF-κB phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in p62-deficient cells. The reduced DV replication can be rescued by inactivation of NF-κB with inhibitor BAY 11-7082 in p62-deficient cells. Moreover, we found that NF-κB responsible cytokine IL-6 was highly produced in DV-infected p62-deficient cells. The co-localization of p62 with DV prM, E, NS2A and NS3 proteins from confocal microscopy observation indicates that p62 might interact with DV proteins to facilitate virus replication. Our findings uncover a new role of p62 in facilitating DV replication and also provide a potential therapeutic target for dengue infection.

Mosquitoes act as vectors to carry and spread disease to humans, including malaria, chikungunya, West Nile fever, dengue fever, and Zika. Among these diseases, dengue fever is currently one of the world’s most important tropical diseases. According to the statistics from World Health Organization, 390 million individuals were infected each year, with up to 96 million symptomatic infections. Taiwan is also one of the prevalent areas of dengue fever, and a serious outbreak occurred in 2014 and 2015 with more than 50,000 cases. Although dengue vaccines have been developed recently, their effectiveness and safety remain to be further elucidated. Hence, vector control becomes an alternative strategy for dengue control. Signal peptidases, which have been shown to be required for flavivirus replication that convert secretory and some membrane proteins to their mature forms by cleaving their signal peptides. Absence of signal peptides resulted in reduced yield of Flaviviridae family members. In the dengue mosquito vector Aedes aegypti, several signal peptidases have been identified but their functions were largely unknown. To investigate the role of signal peptidases on dengue virus reproduction in Aedes aegypti, two signal peptidases gene, SPCS2 and SEC11, were silenced by reverse genetic approach. Silencing of SPCS2 and SEC11 resulted in significant reduction of dengue virus replication. Interestingly, we showed that two isoforms of dengue virus envelope protein were exhibited in the mosquito midgut, salivary gland and fat body whereas only one isoform of E protein was detected in the saliva. We speculate that two isoforms may be generated by an additional cleavage of E protein, and this cleavage is important for dengue virus replication or transmission. We therefore generated a point mutation on the predicted cleavage site of the E protein indicating that K36 may be the additional cleavage site of E protein. In the future, we will investigate the effects of signal peptidases in the cleavage of E protein.

Dengue virus is a member of the Genus flavivirus belonging to the family Flaviviridae which comprises a single-strained RNA genome of positive polarity. The morphology of virus is spherical, enveloped, and 50 nm (mature virion) or 60 nm (immature virion) in diameter. Dengue virus usually infects host cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis followed by the release of genomic RNA after uncoating of the nucleocapsid. A single polyprotein is translated, which is cleaved into 10 proteins in consequence, within the endoplasmic reticulum during the cycle of viral replication. It has been reported that flavivirus replication occurs in a virus-induced membrane structure. In addition, the replication was initiated by endocytosis of viral particles which were fused with endosomal membranes in the cytoplasm. However, its detail has not been observed and clearly interpreted thus far. In this study, the replication process of dengue virus was investigated in C6/36 mosquito cells by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as confocal laser microscopy. The results showed that dsRNAs appeared around perinuclear regions as early as 6 h post- infection. Subsequently, numerous viral particles formed as a crystalline array in and/or adjacent to a unique structure at 6, 12, or 24 h post-infection. Presumably, the structure containing newly-formed viral particles serves as a “viral factory” in which protein translation, RNA replication, and the early stage of virion assembly may occur. Virions containing nucleocapsid were usually seen at 24 h post- infection. It was likely that virions have appropriately modified during dispensing into vacuoles or vesicle packets. A mature virion is measured 45 nm in diameter, smaller than that (60 nm) from the crystalline array. The mature virions were then transported to the cell surface, i.e., intercellular space, probably via the host secretion system. It suggested that the virus could infect neighboring cells via cell-to-cell transmission which is supposed to be efficient for virus infection between cells. The increase of tetraspanin C189 in C6/36 cells with dengue 2 virus infection was previously identified in our laboratory. In this study, using the immunofluorescen staining, C189 and den-2 virus was further demonstrated colocalizing in the cytoplasm of infected C6/36 cells at 24 h post- infection. It is speculated that C189 participate in regulating assembly, maturation, and/or releasing during infection of the virus in mosquito cells.
