Immunization of mice with dengue structural proteins and nonstructural protein NS1 expressed by baculovirus recombinant induces resistance to dengue virus encephalitis.

We have constructed a recombinant baculovirus containing a 4.0-kilobase dengue virus cDNA sequence that codes for the three virus structural proteins, capsid (C) protein, premembrane (PreM) protein, and envelope glycoprotein (E), and nonstructural proteins NS1 and NS2a. Infection of cultured Spodoptera frugiperda cells with this recombinant virus resulted in the production of E and NS1 proteins that were similar in size to the corresponding viral proteins expressed in dengue virus-infected simian cells. Other dengue virus-encoded proteins such as PreM and C were also synthesized. Rabbits immunized with the dengue virus protein products of the recombinant virus developed antibodies to PreM, E, and NS1, although the titers were low, especially to PreM and E. Nevertheless, the dengue virus antigens produced by the recombinant virus induced resistance in mice to fatal dengue encephalitis.     

Complete Genome Sequence of Dengue Virus Serotype 2 Cosmopolitan Genotype Strain in Guangdong,China

Here we report the complete genome sequence of a dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) strain, GZ40, isolated in Guangdong, China, in 2010. A phylogenetic analysis classified GZ40 into the Cosmopolitan genotype, while previous Chinese DENV-2 isolates belong to the Asian I genotype. The reemergence of the Cosmopolitan genotype of DENV-2 in China deserves further investigation.     

A novel dengue vaccine candidate that induces cross-neutralizing antibodies and memory immunity

A novel dengue vaccine candidate comprised of a consensus dengue virus envelope protein domain III (cED III) was developed to fight against dengue virus infection. The amino acid sequence of this novel cED III was obtained by alignment of amino acid sequences from different isolates of the four serotypes of dengue viruses. A proof-of-concept study demonstrated that BALB/c mice immunized with the recombinant cED III developed neutralizing antibodies against all serotypes of dengue virus. Moreover, formulation of recombinant cED III with aluminum phosphate could induce long-lasting antibody responses and anamnestic neutralizing antibody responses following challenge with dengue virus at week 28 after priming. These results demonstrate the possibility of developing a single tetravalent vaccine against dengue viral infections.     

Differential RNA Sequence Requirement for Dengue Virus Replication in Mosquito and Mammalian Cells

Dengue virus cycles between mosquitoes and humans. Each host provides a different environment for viral replication, imposing different selective pressures. We identified a sequence in the dengue virus genome that is essential for viral replication in mosquito cells but not in mammalian cells. This sequence is located at the viral 3′ untranslated region and folds into a small hairpin structure. A systematic mutational analysis using dengue virus infectious clones and reporter viruses allowed the determination of two putative functions in this cis-acting RNA motif, one linked to the structure and the other linked to the nucleotide sequence. We found that single substitutions that did not alter the hairpin structure did not affect dengue virus replication in mammalian cells but abolished replication in mosquito cells. This is the first sequence identified in a flavivirus genome that is exclusively required for viral replication in insect cells.     

Complete genomic sequence of a dengue type 2 virus from the French West Indies

Severe forms of dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome, were not prominent in the Americas until the epidemic of Cuba in 1981. Since that time, they have spread to other countries in Central and South America, correlating with the spread of dengue type 2 viruses related to Southeast Asian strains. We report here the complete genomic sequence of a dengue type 2 virus isolated during the epidemic in La Martinique in 1998. This constitutes the first complete genetic characterization of a dengue virus strain from French West Indies, and also the first molecular identification in this region of a dengue 2 strain phylogenetically related to the emerging American type 2 dengue viruses.

Diverse dengue type 2 virus populations contain recombinant and both parental viruses in a single mosquito host

Envelope (E) protein genes sampled from populations of dengue 2 (DEN-2) virus in individual Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and in serum from dengue patients were copied to cDNA, cloned, and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences of the E genes in more than 70% of the clones differed from the consensus sequence for the corresponding virus population at up to 11 sites, and 24 of the 94 clones contained at least one stop codon. Virus populations recovered up to 2 years apart yielded clones with similar polymorphisms in the E gene. For one mosquito, the clones obtained fell into two genotypes. One group of sequences was closely related to those of viruses recovered from dengue patients in the same locality (Yangon, Myanmar) since 1995 and were classified as Asian 1 genotype. The second group were Cosmopolitan genotype viruses which were also circulating in Yangon in 2000 and which were related to DEN-2 viruses sampled from southern China in 1999. Finally, one clone was identified as a recombinant genome composed of portions of these two "parental" genotypes. This is the first report of recombinant and parental dengue viruses in a single host.     

A serotype-specific epitope of dengue virus 1 identified by phage displayed random peptide library

Abstract From a panel of monoclonal antibodies of dengue viruses, a serotype-specific epitope of dengue virus 1 was screened from a random peptide library displayed on phage. The epitope was the determinant reactive with monoclonal antibody 15F3-1 that was specific to dengue 1. The screening was monitored by a dot blotting procedure, and after three rounds of screening a consensus motif, HRYSWK, was found. This sequence matches the sequence HKYSWK, corresponding to the amino acid residues 885–890 of polyprotein or residues 111–116 of the non-structural protein 1 of dengue virus serotype 1. The linear epitope was confirmed by testing the antigenicity of chemically synthesized 8-branched peptide.     

Newly recognized mosquito-associated viruses in mainland China, in the last two decades

There are four principal arboviruses in mainland China. Two kinds of them are mosquito-borne viruses, namely Japanese encephalitis virus and dengue virus, which lead to Japanese encephalitis, and dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever respectively; the other two are tick-borne viruses, namely tick-borne encephalitis virus and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (also known as Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever virus), which contribute to tick-borne encephalitis and Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever respectively. With exception of these four main arboviruses, many other mosquito-associated viruses have been isolated and identified in recent years. These newly isolated and identified mosquito-associated viruses are probably responsible for human and animal infections and diseases. The purpose of this review is to describe the newly isolated mosquito-associated viruses in mainland China which belong to five viral families, including their virological properties, phylogenetic relationships, serological evidence, as well as to appeal the public health concentration worldwide.

Assessing the suitability for Aedes albopictus and dengue transmission risk in China with a delay differential equation model

Dengue is considered non-endemic to mainland China. However, travellers frequently import the virus from overseas and local mosquito species can then spread the disease in the population. As a consequence, mainland China still experiences large dengue outbreaks. Temperature plays a key role in these outbreaks: it affects the development and survival of the vector and the replication rate of the virus. To better understand its implication in the transmission risk of dengue, we developed a delay differential equation model that explicitly simulates temperature-dependent development periods and tested it with collected field data for the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus. The model predicts mosquito occurrence locations with a high accuracy (Cohen’s κ of 0.78) and realistically replicates mosquito population dynamics. Analysing the infection dynamics during the 2014 dengue outbreak that occurred in Guangzhou showed that the outbreak could have lasted for another four weeks if mosquito control interventions had not been undertaken. Finally, we analyse the dengue transmission risk in mainland China. We find that southern China, including Guangzhou, can have more than seven months of dengue transmission per year while even Beijing, in the temperate north, can have dengue transmission during hot summer months. The results demonstrate the importance of using detailed vector and infection ecology, especially when vector-borne disease transmission risk is modelled over a broad range of climatic zones.     

Biological characteristics of dengue virus and potential targets for drug design

Dengue infection is a major cause of morbidity in tropical and subtropical regions, bringing nearly 40% of the world population at risk and causing more than 20,000 deaths per year. But there is neither a vaccine for dengue disease nor antivirai drugs to treat the infection. In recent years, dengue infection has been particularly prevalent in India, Southeast Asia, Brazil, and Guangdong Province, China. In this article, we present a brief summary of the biological characteristics of dengue virus and associated flaviviruses, and outline the prowess on studies of vaccines and drugs based on potential targets of the dengue virus.

Analysis of a Dengue Model with Vertical Transmission and Application to the 2014 Dengue Outbreak in Guangdong Province,China

There is evidence showing that vertical transmission of dengue virus exists in Aedes mosquitoes. In this paper, we propose a deterministic dengue model with vertical transmission in mosquitoes by including aquatic mosquitoes (eggs, larvae and pupae), adult mosquitoes (susceptible, exposed and infectious) and human hosts (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered). We first analyze the existence and stability of disease-free equilibria, calculate the basic reproduction number and discuss the existence of the disease-endemic equilibrium. Then, we study the impact of vertical transmission of the virus in mosquitoes on the spread dynamics of dengue. We also use the model to simulate the reported infected human data from the 2014 dengue outbreak in Guangdong Province, China, carry out sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number in terms of the model parameters, and seek for effective control measures for the transmission of dengue virus.     

Proper processing of dengue virus nonstructural glycoprotein NS1 requires the N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence and the downstream nonstructural protein NS2a.

Expression of dengue virus gene products involves specific proteolytic cleavages of a precursor polyprotein. To study the flanking sequences required for expression of the dengue virus nonstructural glycoprotein NS1, we constructed a series of recombinant vaccinia viruses that contain the coding sequence for NS1 in combination with various lengths of upstream and downstream sequences. The NS1 products expressed by these viruses in infected CV-1 cells were immune precipitated and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The data show that the 24-residue hydrophobic sequence preceding NS1 was necessary and sufficient for the production of glycosylated NS1 and that this sequence was cleaved from NS1 in the absence of most dengue virus proteins. This finding is consistent with previous proposals that this hydrophobic sequence serves as an N-terminal signal sequence that is cleaved by signal peptidase. The cleavage between the C terminus of NS1 and the downstream protein NS2a occurred when the complete NS2a was present. Recombinant viruses containing NS1 plus 15 or 49% of NS2a produced proteins larger than authentic NS1, indicating that the cleavage between NS1 and NS2a had not occurred. Failure of cleavage was not corrected by coinfection with a recombinant virus capable of cleavage. These results suggest that NS2a may be a cis-acting protease that cleaves itself from NS1, or NS2a may provide sequences for recognition by a specific cellular protease that cleaves at the NS1-NS2a junction.
