Molecular Basis of Neurovirulence of Flury Rabies Virus Vaccine Strains: Importance of the Polymerase and the Glycoprotein R333Q Mutation

The molecular mechanisms associated with rabies virus (RV) virulence are not fully understood. In this study, the RV Flury low-egg-passage (LEP) and high-egg-passage (HEP) strains were used as models to explore the attenuation mechanism of RV. The results of our studies confirmed that the R333Q mutation in the glycoprotein (G_R333Q) is crucial for the attenuation of Flury RV in mice. The R333Q mutation is stably maintained in the HEP genome background but not in the LEP genome background during replication in mouse brain tissue or cell culture. Further investigation using chimeric viruses revealed that the polymerase L gene determines the genetic stability of the G_R333Q mutation during replication. Moreover, a recombinant RV containing the LEP G protein with the R333Q mutation and the HEP L gene showed significant attenuation, genetic stability, enhancement of apoptosis, and immunogenicity. These results indicate that attenuation of the RV Flury strain results from the coevolution of G and L elements and provide important information for the generation of safer and more effective modified live rabies vaccine.Rabies virus (RV) belongs to the genus Lyssavirus of the family Rhabdoviridae and causes a fatal neurological disease in humans and animals (6). The RV genome is a nonsegmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA encoding five structural proteins: nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G), and large polymerase (L). Among these, the G protein is a major contributor to RV pathogenicity (7, 31, 33). The G protein facilitates fast virus entry and transsynaptic spread and regulates the rate of virus replication, together with other viral elements (8, 30, 39). The G protein of nonpathogenic RV strains can trigger apoptosis, while the RV G of pathogenic strains induces less or no apoptosis (35, 59). The amino acid residue at position 333 of the G protein (G333) of some fixed strains has been shown to be an important determinant of virulence in adult mice (5). Strains that have arginine or lysine at position G333 kill adult mice, whereas mutants with other amino acids at this site cause a nonlethal infection (1, 5, 25, 36, 49, 53). However, the pathogenicity of RV strains is not solely determined by substitutions at the G333 position. Other substitutions in the G protein, such as N194K, have also been shown to affect viral pathogenicity in mice (10, 21, 50). In addition, other viral elements, such as the N, P, M, and L genes, the trailer sequence in the noncoding region, and the pseudogene, were also reported to modulate RV pathogenicity (12, 46, 57, 58). How these viral elements regulate the pathogenicity of RV remains to be fully explored, and further investigation is needed to understand the molecular basis of RV pathogenicity.Attenuated Flury RV low-egg-passage (LEP) and high-egg-passage (HEP) strains were established through serial passage in chicken brain, chicken embryos, and culture cells using a Flury RV isolated from a girl who died of rabies (23, 24). LEP has Arg at position G333 and kills adult mice after intracerebral (i.c.) inoculation, while HEP has Gln at G333 and causes only mild signs in adult mice. It has been demonstrated that HEP could regain lethality in adult mice by a single amino acid change at G333 from Gln to Arg (49), which indicated that Arg at position G333 is a key determinant of pathogenicity of Flury RV in adult mice. However, whether the Arg at G333 is indispensable for the lethal phenotype of LEP has not been demonstrated.In the current study, LEP and HEP Flury RV strains were used as models to investigate the mechanism of attenuation. We found that both G and L contribute to the attenuation of Flury RV. Substitution of Arg with Gln at G333 (G_R333Q) eliminated LEP neuroinvasiveness but not the virus'' lethal phenotype in adult mice after i.c. inoculation. The G_R333Q mutation could be kept stable only in the genome background of HEP but not in that of LEP during replication. The L gene contributes to the attenuation and enhanced immunogenicity of Flury RV by promoting the stabilization of the G_R333Q mutation during virus replication in brain tissues or cells.     

狂犬病病毒N蛋白主要抗原区的表达及SPA-ELISA抗体检测方法的建立

为有效监测免疫狂犬病疫苗后的抗体水平,以狂犬病病毒N蛋白的主要抗原表位所在区域N1蛋白为包被抗原,建立了SPA-ELISA抗体检测方法。用RT-PCR方法分别扩增出狂犬病病毒Flury LEP株N基因及其N1区域 (1 000~1 353 bp),将二者分别克隆至原核表达载体pGEX-6P-1中,并将重组的表达载体分别转化至大肠杆菌BL21(DE3) 中,经1 mmol/L IPTG诱导后进行免疫印迹分析。结果表明,重组的RV N和RV N1均以包涵体形式表达。与表达全长RV N相比,RV N1的表达量显著高于前者,且该重组蛋白同样具有良好的反应原性。用纯化的重组RV N1作为诊断抗原建立了检测犬RV抗体的间接ELISA方法。通过优化反应条件,确定抗原最佳包被量是2 mg/L,血清的最佳稀释度为1∶100,Protein A-HRP的稀释度为1∶4 000。用建立的ELISA方法对102份临床血清样品进行检测,与商品化试剂盒相比,二者的符合率为94.1％。试验结果表明基于主要抗原表位所在区域N1蛋白的SPA-ELISA方法可有效用于犬RV抗体水平的检测,为检测RV免疫抗体的ELISA试剂盒的研制奠定了基础。     

The glycoprotein and the matrix protein of rabies virus affect pathogenicity by regulating viral replication and facilitating cell-to-cell spread

While the glycoprotein (G) of rabies virus (RV) is known to play a predominant role in the pathogenesis of rabies, the function of the RV matrix protein (M) in RV pathogenicity is not completely clear. To further investigate the roles of these proteins in viral pathogenicity, we constructed chimeric recombinant viruses by exchanging the G and M genes of the attenuated SN strain with those of the highly pathogenic SB strain. Infection of mice with these chimeric viruses revealed a significant increase in the pathogenicity of the SN strain bearing the RV G from the pathogenic SB strain. Moreover, the pathogenicity was further increased when both G and M from SB were introduced into SN. Interestingly, the replacement of the G or M gene or both in SN by the corresponding genes of SB was associated with a significant decrease in the rate of viral replication and viral RNA synthesis. In addition, a chimeric SN virus bearing both the M and G genes from SB exhibited more efficient cell-to-cell spread than a chimeric SN virus in which only the G gene was replaced. Together, these data indicate that both G and M play an important role in RV pathogenesis by regulating virus replication and facilitating cell-to-cell spread.     

Effect of strain differences on the potency testing of rabies vaccines in mice

Antigenic differences between several strains of rabies virus, namely CVS, SAD and Flury (LEP) strains, were studied in cross-challenge experiments or cross-neutralization tests performed on sera of mice immunized with vaccines containing each strain. A typical wild fox virus strain was also included as challenge virus. The strain differences affected the relative potencies of the three vaccines in the European Pharmacopoeia mouse protection test for veterinary rabies vaccines, in that higher antigenic values were obtained when the vaccine strain was homologous to the challenge virus. This observation was confirmed by neutralizing antibody induction in mice.     

Inactivated Rabies Vaccine Produced from the Flury LEP Strain of Virus Grown in BHK-21 Suspension Cells

Suspension cultures of BHK-21 cells maintained at 32 to 33 C were infected with the Flury LEP strain of rabies virus. By using a cell concentration of 2.0 x 10(6) to 2.5 x 10(6) cells per ml infected at a multiplicity of 0.05, high titers of extracellular virus were reached in 96 to 120 h, and potent inactivated vaccines were prepared from culture fluids harvested between 96 to 168 h. The addition of 1% bovine serum to the maintenance medium resulted in an increase in virus yields and vaccine potency. Estimation of the number of infected cells by immunofluorescent procedures proved a rapid and reliable guide to the virus content of suspension cultures.     

Rescue of rabies virus from cloned cDNA and identification of the pathogenicity-related gene: glycoprotein gene is associated with virulence for adult mice

In order to identify the viral gene related to the pathogenicity of rabies virus, we tried to establish a reverse genetics system of the attenuated RC-HL strain, which causes nonlethal infection in adult mice after intracerebral inoculation. A full-length genome plasmid encoding the complete antigenomic cDNA of the RC-HL strain and helper plasmids containing cDNAs of the complete open reading frame of the N, P, and L genes, respectively, were constructed. After transfection of these plasmids into BHK-21 cells infected with the T7 RNA polymerase-expressing vaccinia virus, infectious rabies virus with almost the same biological properties as those of the wild-type RC-HL strain was rescued. Using this reverse genetics system of the RC-HL strain, we generated a chimeric virus with the open reading frame of the glycoprotein gene from the parent Nishigahara strain, which kills adult mice after intracerebral inoculation, in the background of the RC-HL genome. Since the chimeric virus killed adult mice following intracerebral inoculation, it became evident that the open reading frame of the glycoprotein gene is related to the pathogenicity of the Nishigahara strain for adult mice.     

G-2548A polymorphism of the leptin gene is correlated with extreme obesity in Taiwanese aborigines

We examined the genetic associations of the G-2548A polymorphism in the promoter of the leptin (LEP) gene and the Gln223Arg (Q223R) polymorphism of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene with obesity. Two hundred twenty-six obese aboriginal subjects (BMI > or = 27 kg/m2) and 182 aboriginal subjects with normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2) participated in this study. The polymorphisms of LEP G-2548A and LEPR Q223R were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism, and their anthropometric characteristics were measured. Levels of leptin, triglycerides, and cholesterol were measured after overnight fasting. We found that the frequencies of the LEP G/G homozygote (22.6%) with Mendelian recessive (chi2 = 7.89, p = 0.005) and codominant (chi2 = 7.93, p = 0.02) models to be higher in the extremely obese subjects (BMI > or = 35 kg/m2) than in normal weight subjects (6.9%) but not in moderately obese subjects (35 > BMI > or = 27 kg/m2). There was no difference in genotypic frequency of the LEPR Q223R polymorphism between the extreme obese and control groups. We suggest that the LEP -2548 G/G homozygote plays a genetic recessive role in the development of extreme obesity in Taiwanese aborigines.     

Biological and biochemical differences between variants of spleen focus-forming virus can be localized to a region containing the 3' end of the envelope gene.

Two variants of the spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV), SFFVP and SFFVA, induce acute erythroleukemia in mice but differ in their effects on erythroid cells as well as in the posttranslational modification of the product of their envelope genes. To localize the region of the SFFV envelope gene responsible for these differences, we utilized a recombinant virus containing the 3' half of the SFFVP env gene, where the vast majority of the differences between SFFVP and SFFVA reside, and the SFFVP long terminal repeat (LTR) on an SFFVA background. Analysis of the recombinant virus indicates that it is capable of inducing all of the biological effects previously associated with SFFVP, including the ability to proliferate and differentiate without the need for erythropoietin. In addition, the env gene product of the recombinant virus can be detected on the cell surface, a property previously associated only with SFFVP. Although the recombinant virus also contains LTR sequences from SFFVP, we do not believe it is likely that the four LTR nucleotides that are unique to SFFVP are responsible for the biological or biochemical differences observed. These results strengthen the argument that the SFFVP env gene product acts at the cell surface to alter the hormonal requirements for erythroid cell growth and differentiation.     

Rabies virus (RV) glycoprotein expression levels are not critical for pathogenicity of RV

Previous comparisons of different rabies virus (RV) strains suggested an inverse relationship between pathogenicity and the amount of glycoprotein produced in infected cells. In order to provide more insight into this relationship, we pursued an experimental approach that allowed us to alter the glycoprotein expression level without altering the glycoprotein sequence, thereby eliminating the contribution of amino acid changes to differences in viral virulence. To this end, we constructed an infectious clone of the highly pathogenic rabies virus strain CVS-N2c and replaced its cognate glycoprotein gene with synthetic versions in which silent mutations were introduced to replace wild-type codons with the most or least frequently used synonymous codons. A recombinant N2c variant containing the fully codon-optimized G gene and three variants carrying a partially codon-deoptimized G gene were recovered on mouse neuroblastoma cells and shown to express 2- to 3-fold more and less glycoprotein, respectively, than wild-type N2c. Pathogenicity studies in mice revealed the WT-N2c virus to be the most pathogenic strain. Variants containing partially codon-deoptimized glycoprotein genes or the codon-optimized gene were less pathogenic than WT-N2c but still caused significant mortality. We conclude that the expression level of the glycoprotein gene does have an impact on pathogenicity but is not a dominant factor that determines pathogenicity. Thus, strategies such as changes in codon usage that aim solely at altering the expression level of the glycoprotein gene do not suffice to render a pathogenic rabies virus apathogenic and are not a viable and safe approach for attenuation of a pathogenic strain.
