- W3034895440 abstract "ABSTRACT Alphaviruses are positive-sense RNA viruses that utilize a 5’ cap structure to facilitate translation of viral proteins and to protect the viral RNA genome. Nonetheless, significant quantities of viral genomic RNAs that lack a canonical 5’ cap structure are produced during alphaviral replication and packaged into viral particles. However, the role/impact of the noncapped genomic RNA (ncgRNA) during alphaviral infection in vivo has yet to be characterized. To determine the importance of the ncgRNA in vivo , the previously described D355A and N376A nsP1 mutations, which increase or decrease nsP1 capping activity respectively, were incorporated into the neurovirulent AR86 strain of Sindbis virus to enable characterization of the impact of altered capping efficiency in a murine model of infection. Mice infected with the N376A nsP1 mutant exhibited slightly decreased rates of mortality and delayed weight loss and neurological symptoms, although levels of inflammation in the brain were similar to wild type infection. The mice infected with the D355A nsP1 mutant showed significantly reduced mortality and morbidity compared to mice infected with wild type virus. Interestingly, both capping mutants had roughly equivalent viral titer in the brain compared to wild type virus, illustrating that the changes in mortality were not due to deficits in viral replication or dissemination. Examination of the brain tissue revealed that mice infected with the D355A capping mutant had significantly reduced cell death and immune cell infiltration compared to the N376A mutant and wild type virus. Finally, expression of proinflammatory cytokines was found to be significantly decreased in mice infected with the D355A mutant, suggesting that capping efficiency and the production of ncgRNA are vital to eliciting pathogenic levels of inflammation. Collectively, these data indicate that the ncgRNA have important roles during alphaviral infection and suggest a novel mechanism by which noncapped viral RNA aid in viral pathogenesis. AUTHOR SUMMARY Mosquito transmitted alphaviruses have been the cause of widespread outbreaks of disease which can range from mild illness to lethal encephalitis or severe polyarthritis. In order to successfully replicate, the alphavirus RNA genome needs a 5’ cap structure so that the genome can be translated and produce the viral replication machinery. Despite this, a large number of viral genomes produced during infection do not have a 5’ cap structure, and their role during infection is unknown. Using mouse models of infection and point mutations in the nsP1 protein of Sindbis virus which alter the amount of noncapped genomic RNA (ncgRNA) produced, we found the decreasing the production of ncgRNA greatly reduced morbidity and mortality as well as proinflammatory cytokine expression, resulting in less tissue-damaging inflammation in the brain. These studies suggest that the ncgRNAs contribute to pathogenesis through the sensing of the ncgRNAs during alphaviral infection and are necessary for the development of severe disease." @default.
