“…Virus titer in the cell supernatant was measured using an agar overlay plaque assay as previously described. 50 In brief, the samples were serially diluted (10-fold) and overlaid onto a monolayer of HeLa cells. Following 1-h incubation, the medium was replaced with complete DMEM containing 0.75% agar.…”

Cytoplasmic translocation, aggregation, and cleavage of TDP-43 by enteroviral proteases modulate viral pathogenesis

We have previously demonstrated that infection by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a positive-stranded RNA enterovirus, results in the accumulation of insoluble ubiquitin-protein aggregates, which resembles the common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. The importance of protein aggregation in viral pathogenesis has been recognized; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain ill-defined. Transactive response DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is an RNA-binding protein that has an essential role in regulating RNA metabolism at multiple levels. Cleavage and cytoplasmic aggregation of TDP-43 serves as a major molecular marker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration and contributes significantly to disease progression. In this study, we reported that TDP-43 is translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during CVB3 infection through the activity of viral protease 2A, followed by the cleavage mediated by viral protease 3C. Cytoplasmic translocation of TDP-43 is accompanied by reduced solubility and increased formation of protein aggregates. The cleavage takes place at aminoacid 327 between glutamine and alanine, resulting in the generation of an N-and C-terminal cleavage fragment of~35 and~8 kDa, respectively. The C-terminal product of TDP-43 is unstable and quickly degraded through the proteasome degradation pathway, whereas the N-terminal truncation of TDP-43 acts as a dominant-negative mutant that inhibits the function of native TDP-43 in alternative RNA splicing. Lastly, we demonstrated that knockdown of TDP-43 results in an increase in viral titers, suggesting a protective role for TDP-43 in CVB3 infection. Taken together, our findings suggest a novel model by which cytoplasmic redistribution and cleavage of TDP-43 as a consequence of CVB3 infection disrupts the solubility and transcriptional activity of TDP-43. Our results also reveal a mechanism evolved by enteroviruses to support efficient viral infection. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a small, positive-stranded RNA enterovirus. 1 The single open reading frame of CVB3 is translated into a viral polypeptide that is subsequently cleaved by two virus-encoded proteases 2A and 3C to generate structural and non-structural proteins. 2 In addition to processing viral polyprotein, 2A and 3C target host proteins important for maintenance of protein translation and transcription, antiviral activity, and cellular architecture and signaling, contributing to virus-induced pathogenesis. [3][4][5] Although enteroviral replication takes place exclusively in the cytoplasm, viral infection has been demonstrated to lead to cytoplasmic translocation of nuclear proteins. 6 For example, heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein D (hnRNP D) has been shown to translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during enteroviral infection. 5,7,8 Moreover, hnRNP D is cleaved by 3C and has an antiviral function against enteroviral infection. 5,7,8 Cytoplasmic translocation after enteroviral infection has also been demonstrated for several other hnRNPs (A1, C, and K)...

“…In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that the infection processes of morbilliviruses are closely related with autophagic flux [16,17]. However, the coxsackievirus B3, herpes simplex virus and influenza A virus have been shown to induce autophagosome formation but block the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes [48–50]. More importantly, MeV infection induces successive autophagic signalling, leading to a sustained increase in autophagic flux [16].…”

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute and highly contagious disease in small ruminants that causes significant economic losses in developing countries. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that both autophagy and apoptosis are important cellular mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis, and they participate in the host response to pathogens. However, the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy in host cells during PPRV infection has not been clarified. In this study, autophagy was induced upon virus infection in caprine endometrial epithelial cells (EECs), as determined by the appearance of double- and single-membrane autophagy-like vesicles, LC3-I/LC3-II conversion, and p62 degradation. We also found that PPRV infection triggered a complete autophagic response, most likely mediated by the non-structural protein C and nucleoprotein N. Moreover, our results suggest that autophagy not only promotes the replication of PPRV in EECs but also provides a potential mechanism for inhibiting PPRV-induced apoptosis. Inhibiting autophagosome formation by wortmannin and knocking down the essential autophagic proteins Beclin-1 and ATG7 induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in EECs in PPRV infection. However, inhibiting autophagosome and lysosome fusion by NH4Cl and chloroquine did not increase the number of apoptotic cells. Collectively, these data are the first to indicate that PPRV-induced autophagy inhibits caspase-dependent apoptosis and thus contributes to the enhancement of viral replication and maturity in host cells.

Nanoparticles increase human bronchial epithelial cell susceptibility to respiratory syncytial virus infection via nerve growth factor-induced autophagy

Cytotoxic and neuroinflammatory effects of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2‐NP) in human airways are mediated by nerve growth factor (NGF), which is also implicated in the pathophysiology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to TiO2‐NP results in increased susceptibility to RSV infection and exacerbation of airway inflammation via NGF‐mediated induction of autophagy in lower respiratory tract cells. Human primary bronchial epithelial cells were exposed to TiO2‐NP for 24 h prior to infection with recombinant red RSV (rrRSV). Expression of NGF and its TrkA and p75NTR receptors was measured by real‐time PCR and fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS). Autophagy was assessed by beclin‐1 expression analysis. Cell death was studied by FACS after annexin V/propidium iodide staining. rrRSV infection efficiency more than doubled in human bronchial cells pre‐exposed to TiO2‐NP compared to controls. NGF and its TrkA receptor were upregulated in RSV‐infected bronchial cells pre‐exposed to TiO2‐NP compared to controls exposed to either rrRSV or TiO2‐NP alone. Silencing NGF gene expression with siRNA significantly inhibited rrRSV infection. rrRSV‐infected cells pre‐exposed to TiO2‐NP also showed increase in necrotic cell death and reduction in apoptosis, together with 4.3‐fold increase in expression of the early autophagosomal gene beclin‐1. Pharmacological inhibition of beclin‐1 by wortmannin resulted in increased apoptotic rate along with lower viral load. This study shows that TiO2‐NP exposure enhances the infectivity of RSV in human bronchial epithelial cells by upregulating the NGF/TrkA axis. The mechanism of this interaction involves induction of autophagy promoting viral replication and necrotic cell death.
