Article Title: Lack of Bax Prevents Influenza A Virus-Induced Apoptosis and Causes Diminished Viral Replication ▿

Journal: Journal of Virology

Influenza A virus replication is dependent upon opposite virus-induced effects on Bax and Bak activity that are unlikely to be interferon related. (A) Influenza A virus replication was analyzed by plaque assay. Virus replication is severely attenuated in Bax KO cells, resulting in a 2-log decrease in PFU/ml compared to the WT. Bak KO cells allow a maximum replication similar to that of the WT, while Bax/Bak DKO cells show a slight elevation of infectious titers during infection. These results indicate that Bax is proviral during infection, while Bak is dispensable for replication. (B) Bax was transiently expressed in all cell types by Lipofectamine 2000 transfection of a C2-Bax-GFP construct prior to infection, and supernatant samples were collected for plaque assay at 48 hpi. Baseline virus replication in each cell type was evaluated using empty C2-GFP plasmid transfection. Bax reconstitution in Bax KO cells resulted in a fivefold increase in infectious titers compared to the control ( P = 0.0007). A minimal effect on the virus titer was seen after Bax overexpression by transient transfection in WT cells compared to empty plasmid controls. (C) Influenza A virus replication was assessed by reverse transcription-PCR. Serial dilutions of stock virus at known concentrations were also analyzed to generate a standard curve to which experimental samples were compared, thus calculating the approximate number of influenza A virus particles/ml in each sample. By 24 hpi, Bax KO, Bak KO, and Bax/Bak DKO cells all showed significantly higher levels of influenza A virus RNA released into the cell culture supernatant than did WT cells. (D) Interferon activity was assessed by infecting mock- and influenza A virus-infected cells with interferon-sensitive, GFP-linked NDV and quantifying the mean GFP expression levels of 10,000 events per condition by FACS analysis. Each assay was run in triplicate, and data are expressed as the ratio of the numbers of influenza A virus-infected to mock-infected cells per cell type. After influenza A virus infection, Bak KO cells exhibited a slight decrease in ratio compared to the WT, representing a 30% increase in interferon activity ( P = 0.002). Bax KO and Bax/Bak DKO cells both showed similar fluorescence changes compared to the WT after infection. Due the high degree of similarity between cell types, these results suggest that the interferon response in infected cells is modulated by viral replication in the presence of Bak and is only slightly modified by Bax activity during influenza A virus infection. As an elevated interferon response typically leads to a reduced virus replication capacity, these results also suggest that it is unlikely that the observed trends in infectious virus titer are due to virus-induced interferon signaling.

doi: 10.1101/2020.03.20.001008

SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected from COVID-19 patient nasopharyngeal swabs by RT-qPCR without an RNA extraction step ( a ) Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab diluents from two confirmed COVID-19 patients were pooled, and using the 2019-nCoV_N3 primer/probe set, the mixture was either i) subjected to RNA extraction using the Qiagen QIAamp Viral RNA Mini kit followed by subsequent testing by RT-qPCR (using the equivalent of 11.3 ul swab diluent) or ii) directly added to the RT-qPCR reaction, with or without a preheating step (five minutes at 70°C, “NP sample + heat”). As a control, the indicated quantities of the CDC 2019-nCoV Positive Control SARS-CoV-2 synthetic RNA was spiked into M6 transport media, purified using the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini kit, and screened by RT-qPCR. NP swab samples from seven additional donors were screened by direct RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 RNA using ( b ) the 2019-nCoV_N1 primer/probe set, ( c ) the 2019-nCoV_N2 primer/probe set, or ( d ) for human RNase P RNA using the RP primer probe set. NP swab samples from donors 1 – 4 were previously shown to contain SARS-CoV-2 RNA by standard clinical RT-qPCR, while donors 5 – 7 were negative. For each primer/probe set, 7 µL ( a ) or 3 µL ( b, c, d ) of NP swab diluent was tested in the RT-qPCR reaction per donor. For the N1 and N2 primer probe sets, the fully synthetic SARS-CoV-2 RNA Control 2 from Twist Bioscience was loaded at serial 10-fold dilutions (A, 3×10 6 copies; B, 3×10 5 copies; C, 3×10 4 copies; D, 3×10 3 copies; E, 3×10 2 copies; F, 3×10 1 copies) as indicated in panels b and c . No template control (NTC) wells were included for each primer/probe set and each was negative. For panels b and c , the correlation coefficients (R 2 ) of the standard curves were 0.999 and 0.995, respectively. The dashed line at cycle 40 in each graph indicates the limit of detection.

SARS-CoV2 genome coverage plots for different amplicon sets. We performed amplicon sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 genome with amplicons ranging from 400 bp (top) to 2000 bp in size (bottom). Amplicon sets are shown as grey bars, with the amplicons in ‘Pool 1’ numbered (see Methods). Read coverage is scaled so that mean coverage is 1000X for all amplicon sets. For each set of amplicons we sequenced a low C q sample (20.3) and a high C q sample (31.2). Each amplicon set is shown in pairs. The upper plot is the C q 20.3 sample; the lower plot is the C q 31.2 sample. The 1200 bp and 2000 bp amplicon sets exhibit relatively even coverage across the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome. However, note that for the high C q 2000 bp amplicon set, all amplicons in ‘Pool 1’ are approximately 1.5-fold higher levels than those in ‘Pool 2’. In contrast to the 1200 bp and 2000 bp amplicon sets, several dropout regions are apparent in the 400 bp and 1500 bp amplicon sets. In all cases, the variation in genome coverage is higher for the sample with higher C q .

High viral load and identical genomes within a single patient with Ebola virus disease. A , Viral load in semen and serum. We measured viral load from extracted RNA using primers in Supplementary Table 2 (Trombley et al, 2010). Samples were quantified against a standard curve (assay limit of detection [LOD]: 1 copy/µL) to determine copies per microliter of extracted RNA. Based on the different extraction methods, we converted these values into copies per milliliter of indicated fluid (blue: serum, n = 6 replicates per sample; orange: semen, n = 3). Asterisk indicates below-assay LOD. B , Quantification of Ebola virus (EBOV) antisense (vRNA) and sense (c/mRNA) RNA in semen samples using strand-specific quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). We designed RT primers for a 2-step RT-qPCR to detect antisense or sense viral RNA separately. Day 180 semen sample was not tested. C , Quantification of EBOV vRNA and c/mRNA in semen samples using single-molecule tagged amplicon sequencing. We uniquely tagged and amplified RNA molecules with random barcodes in a strand-specific manner. We deduplicated reads and counted unique numbers of barcodes. Molecules at day 180 likely represent background amplification. See Supplementary Figure 1 C for quantification in peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) samples. D , Deep sequencing metrics. We performed RNA-seq either without (unbiased) or with hybrid selection using EBOV-specific baits to reduce host RNA background. Lower viral genome coverage is observed in PBL and semen samples due to abundant cellular RNA. E , Phylogeny of the SL4 clade. We combined 1489 publicly available genomes (Diehl et al 2016) with this patient’s viral genome and generated a phylogenetic tree with 1000 bootstrap replicates. The patient sample falls within a SL4 subclade (maroon; 100% bootstrap support) of samples collected near Freetown, Sierra Leone, from late January 2015 through March 2015, representing a likely transmission network. See Supplementary Figure 2 for full tree.
