RESUMO

Multiple functions are associated with HSV-1 latency associated transcript (LAT), including establishment of latency, virus reactivation, and antiapoptotic activity. LAT encodes two sncRNAs that are not miRNAs and previously it was shown that they have antiapoptotic activity in vitro. To determine if we can separate the antiapoptotic function of LAT from its latency-reactivation function, we deleted sncRNA1 and sncRNA2 sequences in HSV-1 strain McKrae, creating ΔsncRNA1&2 recombinant virus. Deletion of the sncRNA1&2 in ΔsncRNA1&2 virus was confirmed by complete sequencing of ΔsncRNA1&2 virus and its parental virus. Replication of ΔsncRNA1&2 virus in tissue culture or in the eyes of WT infected mice was similar to that of HSV-1 strain McKrae (LAT-plus) and dLAT2903 (LAT-minus) viruses. The levels of gB DNA in trigeminal ganglia (TG) of mice latently infected with ΔsncRNA1&2 virus was intermediate to that of dLAT2903 and McKrae infected mice, while levels of LAT in TG of latently infected ΔsncRNA1&2 mice was significantly higher than in McKrae infected mice. Similarly, the levels of LAT expression in Neuro-2A cells infected with ΔsncRNA1&2 virus was significantly higher than in McKrae infected cells. Reactivation in TG of ΔsncRNA1&2 infected mice was similar to that of McKrae and time of reactivation in both groups were significantly faster than dLAT2903 infected mice. However, levels of apoptosis in Neuro-2A cells infected with ΔsncRNA1&2 virus was similar to that of dLAT2903 and significantly higher than that of McKrae infected cells. Our results suggest that the antiapoptotic function of LAT resides within the two sncRNAs, which works independently of its latency-reactivation function and it has suppressive effect on LAT expression in vivo and in vitro.

RESUMO

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infections are among the most frequent serious viral eye infections in the U.S. and are a major cause of viral-induced blindness. HSV-1 infection is known to induce T cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation that play crucial roles in the development of virus-induced inflammatory lesions, leading to eye disease and causing chronic corneal damage. CD80 is a co-stimulatory molecule and plays a leading role in T cell differentiation. Previous efforts to limit lesion severity by controlling inflammation at the cellular level led us to ask whether mice knocked out for CD80 would show attenuated virus replication following reactivation. By evaluating the effects of CD80 activity on primary and latent infection, we found that in the absence of CD80, virus replication in the eyes and virus reactivation in latent trigeminal ganglia were both significantly reduced. However, latency in latently infected CD80-/- mice did not differ significantly from that in wild-type (WT) control mice. Reduced virus replication in the eyes of CD80-/- mice correlated with significantly expanded CD11c gene expression as compared to WT mice. Taken together, our results indicate that suppression of CD80 could offer significant beneficial therapeutic effects in the treatment of Herpes Stromal Keratitis (HSK).IMPORTANCEOf the many problems associated with recurrent ocular infection, reducing virus reactivation should be a major goal of controlling ocular herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection. In this study, we have shown that the absence of CD80 reduces HSV-1 reactivation, which marks the establishment of a previously undescribed mechanism underlying viral immune evasion that could be exploited to better manage HSV infection.

RESUMO

Previously we reported that the HSV-1 latency associated transcript (LAT) specifically upregulates the cellular herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) but no other known HSV-1 receptors. HSV-1 glycoprotein D (gD) binds to HVEM but the effect of this interaction on latency-reactivation is not known. We found that the levels of latent viral genomes were not affected by the absence of gD binding to HVEM. However, reactivation of latent virus in trigeminal ganglia explant cultures was blocked in the absence of gD binding to HVEM. Neither differential HSV-1 replication and spread in the eye nor levels of latency influenced reactivation. Despite similar levels of latency, reactivation in the absence of gD binding to HVEM correlated with reduced T cell exhaustion. Our results indicate that HVEM-gD signaling plays a significant role in HSV-1 reactivation but not in ocular virus replication or levels of latency. The results presented here identify gD binding to HVEM as an important target that influences reactivation and survival of ganglion resident T cells but not levels of latency. This concept may also apply to other herpesviruses that engages HVEM.

RESUMO

We previously reported that knocking out signal peptide peptidase (SPP), a glycoprotein K (gK) binding partner, in mouse peripheral sensory neurons reduced latency-reactivation in infected mice without affecting primary virus replication or eye disease. Since virus replication in the eye plays an essential role in eye disease, we generated a conditional knockout mouse lacking SPP expression in the eye by crossing Pax6 (paired box 6)-Cre mice that have intact Pax6 expression with SPPflox/flox mice. Significantly less SPP protein expression was detected in the eyes of Pax6-SPP-/- mice than in WT control mice. HSV-1 replication in the eyes of Pax6-SPP-/- mice was significantly lower than in WT control mice. Levels of gB, gK, and ICP0 transcripts in corneas, but not trigeminal ganglia (TG), of Pax6-SPP-/- infected mice were also significantly lower than in WT mice. Corneal scarring and angiogenesis were significantly lower in Pax6-SPP-/- mice than in WT control mice, while corneal sensitivity was significantly higher in Pax6-SPP-/- mice compared with WT control mice. During acute viral infection, absence of SPP in the eye did not affect CD4 expression but did affect CD8α and IFNγ expression in the eye. However, in the absence of SPP, latency-reactivation was similar in Pax6-SPP-/- and WT control groups. Overall, our results showed that deleting SPP expression in the eyes reduced primary virus replication in the eyes, reduced CD8α and IFNγ mRNA expression, reduced eye disease and reduced angiogenesis but did not alter corneal sensitivity or latency reactivation to HSV-1 infection. Thus, blocking gK binding to SPP in the eye may have therapeutic potential by reducing both virus replication in the eye and eye disease associated with virus replication.

RESUMO

We previously reported that HSV-1 infectivity in vitro and in vivo requires HSV glycoprotein K (gK) binding to the ER signal peptide peptidase (SPP). Anterograde-retrograde transport via peripheral nerves between the site of infection (i.e., eye) and the site of latency (neurons) is a critical process to establish latency and subsequent viral reactivation. Given the essential role of neurons in HSV-1 latency-reactivation, we generated mice lacking SPP specifically in peripheral sensory neurons by crossing Advillin-Cre mice with SPPfl/fl mice. Expression of SPP mRNA and protein were significantly lower in neurons of Avil-SPP-/- mice than in control mice despite similar levels of HSV-1 replication in the eyes of Avil-SPP-/- mice and control mice. Viral transcript levels in isolated neurons of infected mice on days 2 and 5 post infection were lower than in control mice. Significantly less LAT, gB, and PD-1 expression was seen during latency in isolated neurons and total trigeminal ganglia (TG) of Avil-SPP-/- mice than in control mice. Finally, reduced latency and reduced T cell exhaustion in infected Avil-SPP-/- mice correlated with slower and no reactivation. Overall, our results suggest that blocking SPP expression in peripheral sensory neurons does not affect primary virus replication or eye disease but does reduce latency-reactivation. Thus, blocking of gK binding to SPP may be a useful tool to reduce latency-reactivation.

RESUMO

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) latency-associated transcript (LAT) plays a significant role in efficient establishment of latency and reactivation. LAT has antiapoptotic activity and downregulates expression of components of the type I interferon pathway. LAT also specifically activates expression of the herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM), one of seven known receptors used by HSV-1 for cell entry that is crucial for latency and reactivation. However, the mechanism by which LAT regulates HVEM expression is not known. LAT has two small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) that are not microRNAs (miRNAs), within its 1.5-kb stable transcript, which also have antiapoptotic activity. These sncRNAs may encode short peptides, but experimental evidence is lacking. Here, we demonstrate that these two sncRNAs control HVEM expression by activating its promoter. Both sncRNAs are required for wild-type (WT) levels of activation of HVEM, and sncRNA1 is more important in HVEM activation than sncRNA2. Disruption of a putative start codon in sncRNA1 and sncRNA2 sequences reduced HVEM promoter activity, suggesting that sncRNAs encode a protein. However, we did not detect peptide binding using two chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) approaches, and a web-based algorithm predicts low probability that the putative peptides bind to DNA. In addition, computational modeling predicts that sncRNA molecules bind with high affinity to the HVEM promoter, and deletion of these binding sites to sncRNA1, sncRNA2, or both reduced HVEM promoter activity. Together, our data suggest that sncRNAs exert their function as RNA molecules, not as proteins, and we provide a model for the predicted binding affinities and binding sites of sncRNA1 and sncRNA2 in the HVEM promoter. IMPORTANCE HSV-1 causes recurrent ocular infections, which is the leading cause of corneal scarring and blindness. Corneal scarring is caused by the host immune response to repeated reactivation events. LAT functions by regulating latency and reactivation, in part by inhibiting apoptosis and activating HVEM expression. However, the mechanism used by LAT to control HVEM expression is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that two sncRNAs within the 1.5-kb LAT transcript activate HVEM expression by binding to two regions of its promoter. Interfering with these interactions may reduce latency and thereby eye disease associated with reactivation.

RESUMO

Macrophages are one of the first innate immune infiltrates in the cornea of mice following ocular infection with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Using gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) injections to polarize macrophages into M1 and M2, respectively, and in M1 and M2 conditional knockout mice, we have shown that M1 macrophages play an important role in suppressing both virus replication in the eye and eye disease in HSV-1-infected mice. Autophagy is also important in controlling HSV infection and integrity of infected cells. To determine if blocking autophagy in M1 and M2 macrophages affects HSV-1 infectivity and eye disease, we generated two transgenic mouse strains expressing the HSV-1 γ34.5 autophagy gene under the M1 promoter (M1-γ34.5) or the M2 promoter (M2-γ34.5). We found that blocking autophagy in M1 macrophages increased both virus replication in the eyes and eye disease in comparison to blocking autophagy in M2 macrophages or wild-type (WT) control mice, but blocked autophagy did not affect latency-reactivation. However, blocking autophagy affected fertility in both M1 and M2 transgenic mice. Analysis of 62 autophagy genes and 32 cytokines/chemokines from infected bone marrow-derived macrophages from M1-γ34.5, M2-γ34.5, and WT mice suggested that upregulation of autophagy-blocking genes (i.e., Hif1a, Mtmr14, mTOR, Mtmr3, Stk11, and ULK2) and the inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene in M1-γ34.5 transgenic mice correlated with increased pathogenicity, while upregulation of proautophagy genes (Nrbf2 and Rb1cc1) in M2-γ34.5 macrophages correlated with reduced pathogenicity. The in vivo and in vitro responses of M1-γ34.5 and M2-γ34.5 transgenic mice to HSV-1 infection were independent of the presence of the γ34.5 gene in wild-type HSV-1. Our results suggest that M1 macrophages, but not M2 macrophages, play an important role in autophagy relative to primary virus replication in the eye and eye disease in infected mice. IMPORTANCE Autophagy plays a critical role in clearing, disassembling, and recycling damaged cells, thus limiting inflammation. The HSV-1 γ34.5 gene is involved in neurovirulence and immune evasion by blocking autophagy in infected cells. We found that blocking autophagy in M1 macrophages enhances HSV-1 virus replication in the eye and eye disease in ocularly infected transgenic mice. Our results also show the suppressive effects of γ34.5 on immune responses to infection, suggesting the importance of intact autophagy in M1 but not M2 macrophages in controlling primary infection and eye disease.

RESUMO

The HSV-1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) locus contains two small noncoding RNA (sncRNA) sequences (sncRNA1 and sncRNA2) that are not microRNAs (miRNAs). We recently reported that sncRNA1 is more important for in vitro activation of the herpesvirus entry mediator than sncRNA2, but its in vivo function is not known. To determine the role, if any, of sncRNA1 during herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection in vivo, we deleted the 62-bp sncRNA1 sequence in HSV-1 strain McKrae using dLAT2903 (LAT-minus) virus, creating ΔsncRNA1 recombinant virus. Deletion of the sncRNA1 in ΔsncRNA1 virus was confirmed by complete sequencing of ΔsncRNA1 virus and its parental virus (i.e., McKrae). Replication of ΔsncRNA1 virus in tissue culture or in the eyes of infected mice was similar to that of HSV-1 strain McKrae and dLAT2903 viruses. However, the absence of sncRNA1 significantly reduced the levels of ICP0, ICP4, and gB but not LAT transcripts in infected rabbit skin cells in vitro. In contrast, the absence of sncRNA1 did reduce LAT expression in trigeminal ganglia (TG), but not in corneas, by day 5 postinfection (p.i.) in infected mice. Levels of eye disease in mice infected with ΔsncRNA1 or McKrae virus were similar, and despite reduced LAT levels in TG during acute ΔsncRNA1 infection, McKrae and ΔsncRNA1 viruses did not affect latency or reactivation on day 28 p.i. However, mice infected with ΔsncRNA1 virus were more susceptible to ocular infection than their wild-type (WT) counterparts. Expression of host immune response genes in corneas and TG of infected mice during primary infection showed reduced expression of beta interferon (IFNß) and IFNγ and altered activation of key innate immune pathways, such as the JAK-STAT pathway in ΔsncRNA1 virus compared with parental WT virus. Our results reveal novel functions for sncRNA1 in upregulating the host immune response and suggest that sncRNA1 has a protective role during primary ocular HSV-1 infection. IMPORTANCE HSV-1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) plays a major role in establishing latency and reactivation; however, the mechanism by which LAT controls these processes is largely unknown. In this study, we sought to establish the role of the small noncoding RNA1 (sncRNA1) encoded within LAT during HSV-1 ocular infection. Our results suggest that sncRNA1 has a protective role during acute ocular infection by modulating the innate immune response to infection.

RESUMO

HSV glycoprotein K (gK) is an essential herpes protein that contributes to enhancement of eye disease. We previously reported that gK binds to signal peptide peptidase (SPP) and that depletion of SPP reduces HSV-1 infectivity in vivo. To determine the therapeutic potential of blocking gK binding to SPP on virus infectivity and pathogenicity, we mapped the gK binding site for SPP to a 15mer peptide within the amino-terminus of gK. This 15mer peptide reduced infectivity of three different virus strains in vitro as determined by plaque assay, FACS, and RT-PCR. Similarly, the 15mer peptide reduced ocular virus replication in both BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice and also reduced levels of latency and exhaustion markers in infected mice when compared with control treated mice. Addition of the gK-15mer peptide also increased the survival of infected mice when compared with control mice. These results suggest that blocking gK binding to SPP using gK peptide may have therapeutic potential in treating HSV-1-associated infection.

RESUMO

Ocular HSV-1 infection is a major cause of eye disease and innate and adaptive immunity both play a role in protection and pathology associated with ocular infection. Previously we have shown that M1-type macrophages are the major and earliest infiltrates into the cornea of infected mice. We also showed that HSV-1 infectivity in the presence and absence of M2-macrophages was similar to wild-type (WT) control mice. However, it is not clear whether the absence of M1 macrophages plays a role in protection and disease in HSV-1 infected mice. To explore the role of M1 macrophages in HSV-1 infection, we used mice lacking M1 activation (M1-/- mice). Our results showed that macrophages from M1-/- mice were more susceptible to HSV-1 infection in vitro than were macrophages from WT mice. M1-/- mice were highly susceptible to ocular infection with virulent HSV-1 strain McKrae, while WT mice were refractory to infection. In addition, M1-/- mice had higher virus titers in the eyes than did WT mice. Adoptive transfer of M1 macrophages from WT mice to M1-/- mice reduced death and rescued virus replication in the eyes of infected mice. Infection of M1-/- mice with avirulent HSV-1 strain KOS also increased ocular virus replication and eye disease but did not affect latency-reactivation seen in WT control mice. Severity of virus replication and eye disease correlated with significantly higher inflammatory responses leading to a cytokine storm in the eyes of M1-/- infected mice that was not seen in WT mice. Thus, for the first time, our study illustrates the importance of M1 macrophages specifically in primary HSV-1 infection, eye disease, and survival but not in latency-reactivation.

RESUMO

Previously, we reported that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) ICP22 binds to the CD80 promoter and suppresses its expression in vitro and in vivo. To better understand the impact of ICP22 binding to CD80 on HSV-1 infectivity and pathogenicity, we mapped the region of ICP22 required to bind the CD80 promoter to a 40-amino-acid (aa) region of ICP22. We constructed a recombinant HSV-1 expressing a truncated form of ICP22 that lacks these 40 aa, which does not bind to the CD80 promoter (KOS-ICP22Δ40) and retains the ability to replicate efficiently in rabbit skin cells, in contrast to ICP22-null virus. The replication of this recombinant virus in vitro and in vivo was higher than that of the ICP22-null virus, but virus replication kinetics were lower than those of the wild-type (WT) control virus. Similar to ICP22-null virus, the KOS-ICP22Δ40 mutant virus increased CD80 expression in dendritic cells (DCs) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) expression in CD8+ T cells but not CD4+ T cells in infected mouse corneas. In contrast to the significantly reduced virus replication in the eyes of ocularly infected mice, the levels of latency reactivation were similar between KOS-ICP22Δ40 virus and WT virus. Thus, blocking ICP22 binding to the CD80 promoter using a recombinant virus expressing a truncated ICP22 that lacks CD80 promoter binding appears to reduce virus replication and enhance CD8+IFN-γ+ infiltrates in corneas of infected mice, with no effect on latency reactivation. IMPORTANCE Direct binding of HSV-1 ICP22 to the CD80 promoter downregulates the expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80 but not CD86. In this study, we fine mapped the region of ICP22 required for binding to the CD80 promoter and constructed a recombinant virus containing a deletion in ICP22 that failed to bind to the CD80 promoter. This recombinant virus replicated less efficiently in vitro and in vivo than did the WT control virus, although CD80-expressing CD11c+ cells and IFN-γ-expressing CD8+ T cells were increased. Interestingly, the levels of latency and reactivation in the two viruses were similar despite lower virus replication in the eyes of infected mice. Therefore, blocking the interaction of ICP22 with the CD80 promoter could be used to temper the immune response.

RESUMO

We recently reported the role of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in central nervous system (CNS) demyelination using a model of CNS demyelination involving recombinant herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) that constitutively expresses mouse interleukin 2 (HSV-IL-2). In this investigation, we studied how ILC2s respond to HSV-IL-2 at the cellular level using cytokine and gene expression profiling. ILC2s infected with HSV-IL-2 expressed higher levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IP-10, MIP-2, and RANTES, which include proinflammatory cytokines, than did those infected with parental control virus. In contrast, TH2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-9, which are typically expressed by ILC2s, were not induced upon HSV-IL-2 infection. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of HSV-IL-2 infected ILC2s showed significant upregulation of over 350 genes and downregulation of 157 genes compared with parental virus-infected ILC2s. Gene Ontology (GO) term analysis indicated that genes related to "mitosis" and "inflammatory response" were among the upregulated genes, suggesting that HSV-IL-2 infection drives the excessive proliferation and atypical inflammatory response of ILC2s. This change in ILC2 activation state could underlie the pathology of demyelinating diseases.IMPORTANCE Innate lymphocytes have plasticity and can change functionality; type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can convert to ILC1 or ILC3 cells or change their activation state to produce IL-17 or IL-10 depending on environmental cues. In this study, we investigated the gene and cytokine profiles of ILC2s, which play a major role in HSV-IL-2-induced CNS demyelination. ILC2s infected with HSV-IL-2 displayed a massive remodeling of cellular state. Additionally, ILC2s infected with HSV-IL-2 differed from those infected with parental HSV in cellular and viral gene expression profiles and in cytokine/chemokine induction, and they displayed enhanced activation and proinflammatory responses. These changes in ILC2 activation state could underlie the pathology of demyelinating diseases. These results also highlight the possible importance of pathogens as environmental cues to modify innate lymphocyte functionalities.

RESUMO

After HSV-1 infection, macrophages infiltrate early into the cornea, where they play an important role in HSV-1 infection. Macrophages are divided into M1 or M2 groups based on their activation. M1 macrophages are pro-inflammatory, while M2 macrophages are anti-inflammatory. Macrophage phenotypes can shift between M1 or M2 in vitro and in vivo following treatment with specific cytokines. In this study we looked at the effect of M2 macrophages on HSV-1 infectivity using mice either lacking M2 (M2-/-) or overexpressing M2 (M2-OE) macrophages. While presence or absence of M2 macrophages had no effect on eye disease, we found that over expression of M2 macrophages was associated with increased phagocytosis, increased primary virus replication, increased latency, and increased expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, in mice lacking M2 macrophages following infection phagocytosis, replication, latency, and cytokine expression were similar to wild type mice. Our results suggest that enhanced M2 responses lead to higher phagocytosis, which affected both primary and latent infection but not reactivation.

The immune modulatory protein herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is one of several cellular receptors used by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) for cell entry. HVEM binds to HSV-1 glycoprotein D (gD) but is not necessary for HSV-1 replication in vitro or in vivo Previously, we showed that although HSV-1 replication was similar in wild-type (WT) control and HVEM-/- mice, HSV-1 does not establish latency or reactivate effectively in mice lacking HVEM, suggesting that HVEM is important for these functions. It is not known whether HVEM immunomodulatory functions contribute to latency and reactivation or whether its binding to gD is necessary. We used HVEM-/- mice to establish three transgenic mouse lines that express either human WT HVEM or human or mouse HVEM with a point mutation that ablates its ability to bind to gD. Here, we show that HVEM immune function, not its ability to bind gD, is required for WT levels of latency and reactivation. We further show that HVEM binding to gD does not affect expression of the HVEM ligands BTLA, CD160, or LIGHT. Interestingly, our results suggest that binding of HVEM to gD may contribute to efficient upregulation of CD8α but not PD1, TIM-3, CTLA4, or interleukin 2 (IL-2). Together, our results establish that HVEM immune function, not binding to gD, mediates establishment of latency and reactivation.IMPORTANCE HSV-1 is a common cause of ocular infections worldwide and a significant cause of preventable blindness. Corneal scarring and blindness are consequences of the immune response induced by repeated reactivation events. Therefore, HSV-1 therapeutic approaches should focus on preventing latency and reactivation. Our data suggest that the immune function of HVEM plays an important role in the HSV-1 latency and reactivation cycle that is independent of HVEM binding to gD.

RESUMO

We recently reported that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection suppresses CD80 but not CD86 expression in vitro and in vivo This suppression required the HSV-1 ICP22 gene. We also reported that overexpression of CD80 by HSV-1 exacerbated corneal scarring in BALB/c mice. We now show that this recombinant virus (HSV-CD80) expressed high levels of CD80 both in vitro in cultured rabbit skin cells and in vivo in infected mouse corneas. CD80 protein was detected on the surface of infected cells. The virulence of the recombinant HSV-CD80 virus was similar to that of the parental strain, and the replication of HSV-CD80 was similar to that of control virus in vitro and in vivo Transcriptome analysis detected 75 known HSV-1 genes in the corneas of mice infected with HSV-CD80 or parental virus on day 4 postinfection. Except for significantly higher CD80 expression in HSV-CD80-infected mice, levels of HSV-1 gene expression were similar in corneas from HSV-CD80-infected and parental virus-infected mice. The number of CD8+ T cells was higher, and the number of CD4+ T cells was lower, in the corneas of HSV-CD80-infected mice than in mice infected with parental virus. HSV-CD80-infected mice displayed a transient increase in dendritic cells. Transcriptome analysis revealed mild differences in dendritic cell maturation and interleukin-1 signaling pathways and increased expression of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (Ifit2). Together, these results suggest that increased CD80 levels promote increased CD8+ T cells, leading to exacerbated eye disease in HSV-1-infected mice.IMPORTANCE HSV-1 ocular infections are the leading cause of corneal blindness. Eye disease is the result of a prolonged immune response to the replicating virus. HSV-1, on the other hand, has evolved several mechanisms to evade clearance by the host immune system. We describe a novel mechanism of HSV-1 immune evasion via ICP22-dependent downregulation of the host T cell costimulatory molecule CD80. However, the exact role of CD80 in HSV-1 immune pathology is not clear. In this study, we show that eye disease is independent of the level of HSV-1 replication and that viral expression of CD80 has a detrimental role in corneal scarring, likely by increasing CD8+ T cell recruitment and activation.

RESUMO

High rates of wild-type (WT) herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) latency reactivation depend on the anti-apoptotic activities of latency-associated transcript (LAT). Replacing LAT with the baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis protein (cpIAP) or cellular FLIP (FLICE-like inhibitory protein) gene restored the WT latency reactivation phenotype to that of a LAT-minus [LAT(-)] virus, while similar recombinant viruses expressing interleukin-4 (IL-4) or interferon gamma (IFN-γ) did not. However, HSV-1 recombinant virus expressing cpIAP did not restore all LAT functions. Recently, we reported that a similar recombinant virus expressing CD80 in place of LAT had higher latency reactivation than a LAT-null virus. The present study was designed to determine if this CD80-expressing recombinant virus can restore all LAT functions as observed with WT virus. Our results suggest that overexpression of CD80 fully rescues LAT function in latency reactivation, apoptosis, and immune exhaustion, suggesting that LAT and CD80 have multiple overlapping functions.IMPORTANCE Recurring ocular infections caused by HSV-1 can cause corneal scarring and blindness. A major function of the HSV-1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) is to establish high levels of latency and reactivation, thus contributing to the development of eye disease. Here, we show that the host CD80 T cell costimulatory molecule functions similarly to LAT and can restore the ability of LAT to establish latency, reactivation, and immune exhaustion as well as induce the expression of caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, and Bcl2. Our results suggest that, in contrast to several other previously tested genes, CD80-expressing virus can completely compensate for all known and tested LAT functions.

RESUMO

We previously reported that herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein K (gK) binds to signal peptide peptidase (SPP), also known as minor histocompatibility antigen H13. Binding of gK to SPP is required for HSV-1 infectivity in vitro SPP is a member of the γ-secretase family, and mice lacking SPP are embryonic lethal. To determine how SPP affects HSV-1 infectivity in vivo, the SPP gene was deleted using a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase driven by the ubiquitously expressed ROSA26 promoter. SPP mRNA was reduced by more than 93% in the cornea and trigeminal ganglia (TG) and by 99% in the liver of tamoxifen-injected mice, while SPP protein expression was reduced by 90% compared to the level in control mice. Mice lacking SPP had significantly less HSV-1 replication in the eye as well as reduced gK, UL20, ICP0, and gB transcripts in the cornea and TG compared to levels in control mice. In addition, reduced infiltration of CD45+, CD4+, CD8+, F4/80+, CD11c+, and NK1.1+ T cells was observed in the cornea and TG of SPP-inducible knockout mice compared to that in control mice. Finally, in the absence of SPP, latency was significantly reduced in SPP-inducible knockout mice compared to that in control mice. Thus, in this study we have generated SPP-inducible knockout mice and shown that the absence of SPP affects virus replication in the eye of ocularly infected mice and that this reduction is correlated with the interaction of gK and SPP. These results suggest that blocking this interaction may have therapeutic potential in treating HSV-1-associated eye disease.IMPORTANCE Glycoprotein K (gK) is an essential and highly conserved HSV-1 protein. Previously, we reported that gK binds to SPP, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein, and blocking this binding reduces virus infectivity in vitro and also affects gK and UL20 subcellular localization. To evaluate the function of gK binding to SPP in vivo, we generated SPP-inducible knockout mice and observed the following in the absence of SPP: (i) that significantly less HSV-1 replication was seen in ocularly infected mice than in control mice; (ii) that expression of various HSV-1 genes and cellular infiltrates in the eye and trigeminal ganglia of infected mice was less than that in control mice; and (iii) that latency was significantly reduced in infected mice. Thus, blocking of gK binding to SPP may be a useful tool to control HSV-1-induced eye disease in patients with herpes stromal keratitis (HSK).

RESUMO

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has the ability to delay its clearance from the eye during ocular infection. Here, we show that ocular infection of mice with HSV-1 suppressed expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80 but not CD86 in the cornea. The presence of neutralizing anti-HSV-1 antibodies did not alleviate this suppression. At the cellular level, HSV-1 consistently downregulated the expression of CD80 by dendritic cells (DCs) but not by other antigen-presenting cells. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis of HSV-1-infected corneal cells during a 7-day period reduced CD80 expression in DCs but not in B cells, macrophages, or monocytes. This suppression was associated with the presence of virus. Similar results were obtained using infected or transfected spleen cells or bone marrow-derived DCs. A combination of roscovitine treatment, transfection with immediate early genes (IE), and infection with a recombinant HSV-1 lacking the ICP22 gene shows the importance of ICP22 in downregulation of the CD80 promoter but not the CD86 promoter in vitro and in vivo At the mechanistic level, we show that the HSV-1 immediate early gene ICP22 binds the CD80 promoter and that this interaction is required for HSV-1-mediated suppression of CD80 expression. Conversely, forced expression of CD80 by ocular infection of mice with a recombinant HSV-1 exacerbated corneal scarring in infected mice. Taken together, these studies identify ICP22-mediated suppression of CD80 expression in dendritic cells as central to delayed clearance of the virus and limitation of the cytopathological response to primary infection in the eye.IMPORTANCE HSV-1-induced eye disease is a major public health problem. Eye disease is associated closely with immune responses to the virus and is exacerbated by delayed clearance of the primary infection. The immune system relies on antigen-presenting cells of the innate immune system to activate the T cell response. We found that HSV-1 utilizes a robust and finely targeted mechanism of local immune evasion. It downregulates the expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80 but not CD86 on resident dendritic cells irrespective of the presence of anti-HSV-1 antibodies. The effect is mediated by direct binding of HSV-1 ICP22, the product of an immediate early gene of HSV-1, to the promoter of CD80. This immune evasion mechanism dampens the host immune response and, thus, reduces eye disease in ocularly infected mice. Therefore, ICP22 may be a novel inhibitor of CD80 that could be used to modulate the immune response.

RESUMO

Previously, we reported that the absence of herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) decreases latency but not primary infection in ocularly infected mice. Recently, we reported that similar to the absence of HVEM, the absence of HVEM ligands (i.e., LIGHT, CD160, and B and T lymphocyte attenuator [BTLA]) also decreased latency but not primary infection. Similar to LIGHT, CD160, and BTLA, another member of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, lymphotoxin-α (LTα), also interacts with HVEM. To determine whether LTα decreases latency in infected mice, we ocularly infected LTα-/- mice with latency-associated transcript-positive [LAT(+)] and LAT(-) viruses using similarly infected wild-type (WT) mice as controls. In contrast to WT C57BL/6 mice, LTα-/- mice were highly susceptible to ocular herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection, independent of the presence or absence of LAT. Survival was partially restored by adoptive transfer of CD4+, CD8+, or total T cells. Infected LTα-/- mice had significantly higher corneal scarring than WT mice, and adoptive T cell transfer did not alter the severity of eye disease. In contrast to results in WT mice, the amount of latency was not affected by the absence of LAT. The amount of LAT RNA in LTα-/- mice infected with LAT(+) virus was similar to that in WT mice, and adoptive T cell transfer did not alter LAT RNA levels in LTα-/- infected mice. Increased latency in the absence of LTα correlated with upregulation of HVEM, LIGHT, CD160, and BTLA transcripts as well as with an increase in markers of T cell exhaustion. The results of our study suggest that LTα has antipathogenic and anti-inflammatory functions and may act to protect the host from infection.IMPORTANCE Recently, we evaluated the effects of HVEM and its ligands (LIGHT, CD160, and BTLA) on HSV-1 infectivity. However, the effect of LTα, another member of the TNF superfamily, on HSV-1 latency and eye disease is not known. Here, we demonstrate increased latency and corneal scarring in LTα-/- infected mice, independent of the presence of LAT. In addition, infected mice were highly susceptible to HSV-1 infection, and survival was partially but not significantly restored by adoptive T cell transfer. These results suggest that the absence of LTα affects HSV-1 infectivity differently than the absence of HVEM, LIGHT, CD160, and BTLA.

RESUMO

The herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) latency-associated transcript (LAT) has been shown to inhibit apoptosis via inhibiting activation of proapoptotic caspases. However, the mechanism of LAT control of apoptosis is unclear, because LAT is not known to encode a functional protein, and the LAT transcript is found largely in the nucleus. We hypothesized that LAT inhibits apoptosis by regulating expression of genes that control apoptosis. Consequently, we sought to establish the molecular mechanism of antiapoptosis functions of LAT at a transcriptional level during latent HSV-1 ocular infection in mice. Our results suggest the following. (i) LAT likely inhibits apoptosis via upregulation of several components of the type I interferon (IFN) pathway. (ii) LAT does not inhibit apoptosis via the caspase cascade at a transcriptional level or via downregulating Toll-like receptors (TLRs). (iii) The mechanism of LAT antiapoptotic effect is distinct from that of the baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis (cpIAP) because replacement of LAT with the cpIAP gene resulted in a different gene expression pattern than in either LAT+ or LAT- viruses. (iv) Replacement of LAT with the cpIAP gene does not cause upregulation of CD8 or markers of T cell exhaustion despite their having similar levels of latency, further supporting that LAT and cpIAP function via distinct mechanisms.IMPORTANCE The HSV-1 latency reactivation cycle is the cause of significant human pathology. The HSV-1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) functions by regulating latency and reactivation, in part by inhibiting apoptosis. However, the mechanism of this process is unknown. Here we show that LAT likely controls apoptosis via downregulation of several components in the JAK-STAT pathway. Furthermore, we provide evidence that immune exhaustion is not caused by the antiapoptotic activity of the LAT.
