bats are speculated to be ancestral hosts of Middle-East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus (CoV). MERS-CoV causes disease in humans with thirty-five percent fatality, and has evolved proteins that counteract human antiviral responses. Since bats experimentally infected with MERS-CoV do not develop signs of disease, we tested the hypothesis that MERS-CoV would replicate less efficiently in bat cells than in human cells because of its inability to subvert antiviral responses in bat cells. We infected human and bat (<italic>Eptesicus fuscus</italic>) cells with MERS-CoV and observed that the virus grew to higher titers in human cells. MERS-CoV also effectively suppressed the antiviral interferon beta (IFNβ) response in human cells, unlike in bat cells. To determine if IRF3, a critical mediator of the interferon response, also regulated the response in bats, we examined the response of IRF3 to poly(I:C), a synthetic analogue of viral double-stranded RNA. We observed that bat IRF3 responded to poly(I:C) by nuclear translocation and post-translational modifications, hallmarks of IRF3 activation. Suppression of IRF3 by small-interfering RNA (siRNA) demonstrated that IRF3 was critical for poly(I:C) and MERS-CoV induced induction of IFNβ in bat cells. Our study demonstrates that innate antiviral signaling in <italic>E. fuscus</italic> bat cells is resistant to MERS-CoV-mediated subversion.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Moratelli, R" uniqKey="Moratelli R">R.

MERS-CoV causes disease in humans with thirty-five percent fatality, and has evolved proteins that counteract human antiviral responses. Since bats experimentally infected with MERS-CoV do not develop signs of disease, we tested the hypothesis that MERS-CoV would replicate less efficiently in bat cells than in human cells because of its inability to subvert antiviral responses in bat cells. We infected human and bat (<italic>Eptesicus fuscus</italic>) cells with MERS-CoV and observed that the virus grew to higher titers in human cells. MERS-CoV also effectively suppressed the antiviral interferon beta (IFNβ) response in human cells, unlike in bat cells. To determine if IRF3, a critical mediator of the interferon response, also regulated the response in bats, we examined the response of IRF3 to poly(I:C), a synthetic analogue of viral double-stranded RNA. We observed that bat IRF3 responded to poly(I:C) by nuclear translocation and post-translational modifications, hallmarks of IRF3 activation. Suppression of IRF3 by small-interfering RNA (siRNA) demonstrated that IRF3 was critical for poly(I:C) and MERS-CoV induced induction of IFNβ in bat cells. Our study demonstrates that innate antiviral signaling in <italic>E. fuscus</italic> bat cells is resistant to MERS-CoV-mediated subversion.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>bat</kwd><kwd>IRF3</kwd><kwd>MERS-CoV</kwd><kwd>interferon</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-viruses-11-00152"><title>1.

Bats have been called global reservoirs of deadly coronaviruses (CoVs) [<xref rid="B3-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] and over 200 different viruses have been isolated or detected in bats [<xref rid="B1-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>], with new viruses being detected on a regular basis. Over nine hundred coronavirus sequences from bats have been reported [<xref rid="B4-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] and recently, coronaviruses thought to have spilled-over from bats have caused serious disease in humans and agricultural animals. These include severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV, Middle-East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS) coronavirus [<xref rid="B5-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="B6-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="B7-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="B8-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="B9-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="B10-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="B11-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="B12-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. The spill-over of these viruses to susceptible hosts, including humans and agricultural animals, often results in severe disease.</p><p>MERS-CoV causes severe respiratory illness in humans, including a cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Since September 2012, the World Health Organization has been notified of 2249 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection, with at least 798 deaths. Twenty-seven countries have reported cases of MERS-CoV [<xref rid="B13-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. SARS-CoV caused a pandemic in 2003–2004 that killed ten percent of the over 8000 infected individuals [<xref rid="B7-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>] and PEDV was responsible for over $300 million in losses to the US swine industry in 2013–2014 [<xref rid="B14-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. In many cases, infections with SARS- and MERS-CoVs lead to severe illness, including death, as only supportive care is available.</p><p>Insectivorous vespertilionid bats from the suborder Yangochiroptera have been proposed as an ancestral source of MERS-CoV as several closely related coronaviruses have been described in these bats [<xref rid="B8-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="B15-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="B16-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="B17-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="B18-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Although virus-host interactions for MERS-CoV are being studied in human cells [<xref rid="B19-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="B20-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>,<xref rid="B21-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>,<xref rid="B22-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B23-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>], little information exists on how MERS-CoV interacts with cells from an ancestral and/or potential reservoir host, such as bats. Moreover, we do not understand the type of innate immune response that is mounted by bat cells against MERS-CoV.</p><p>The innate immune response is the first line of defense against invading pathogens, including viruses. When the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of a virus are sensed by a cell, the cell activates various signaling pathways to counteract the ensuing infection. During coronavirus infection and subsequent virus replication, the cell recognizes viral nucleic acid through cellular receptors or pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and mounts an antiviral response. This response is mediated through interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), a key transcription factor involved in antiviral interferon signaling. IRF3 exists as a monomer in the cytoplasm of human cells. When PRRs are activated in a cell in response to viral nucleic acids, cellular kinases such as TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) phosphorylate IRF3, which then dimerizes and translocates to the nucleus of the cell. Once in the nucleus, phosphorylated IRF3 binds to its response elements in the promoters of antiviral interferon genes and enhances the expression of interferons, such as interferon beta (IFNβ) (reviewed here [<xref rid="B24-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]).</p><p>Interferons are key molecules that activate interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) such as 2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase 1(OAS1) and interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx1 in infected and neighboring cells (reviewed here [<xref rid="B25-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]). ISGs inhibit virus replication in these cells through various mechanisms [<xref rid="B26-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. For example, OAS1 inhibits virus replication by selectively degrading viral RNA in combination with RNase L [<xref rid="B27-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]. </p><p>Viruses have evolved different mechanisms to counteract the antiviral interferon responses (reviewed here [<xref rid="B28-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>,<xref rid="B29-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]). Like other viruses, coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and PEDV have evolved different strategies to inhibit interferon signaling in host cells [<xref rid="B23-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="B30-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>,<xref rid="B31-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>,<xref rid="B32-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>]. MERS-CoV structural and accessory proteins inhibit interferon production in human cells, predominantly through the inhibition of IRF3-mediated signaling [<xref rid="B23-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. However, we do not know if MERS-CoV can subvert interferon signaling in bat cells in a similar manner.</p><p>Most studies on MERS-CoV-host interactions have been performed in human cells by ectopically expressing MERS-CoV proteins. Little research has been done to study the virus in human cells, largely due to containment requirements. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have looked at the effect of MERS-CoV infection on IRF3-mediated innate immune responses in bat cells. Since vespertilionid bats have been speculated as evolutionary hosts of MERS-CoV [<xref rid="B8-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="B15-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="B33-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>,<xref rid="B34-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>], we tested the hypothesis that MERS-CoV cannot effectively shut-down interferon responses in cells from these bats. To test our hypothesis, we infected big brown bat (vespertilionid bat; <italic>Eptesicus fuscus</italic>) kidney [<xref rid="B35-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>] and human lung cells with MERS-CoV. We observed that MERS-CoV propagated to higher levels in human cells than bat cells. Consistent with other studies, human cells infected with MERS-CoV did not express transcripts for IFNβ. In contrast, when Efk3 cells from big brown bats were infected with MERS-CoV, they expressed robust amounts of IFNB transcripts. Moreover, small interfering RNA (siRNA) mediated knock-down of and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of IRF3 demonstrated that IRF3 is critical for poly(I:C) and MERS-CoV-induced antiviral IFNβ response in bat cells.</p><p>Our data suggest that the IRF3 signaling pathway in big brown bat cells is resistant to virus-mediated subversion and is critical to limiting MERS-CoV replication. This and other antiviral signaling pathways warrant further investigation to identify adaptations that allow bats to mount an antiviral response to a viral infection. Understanding cellular and molecular virus-host interactions in reservoir hosts may help in predicting factors that contribute to the emergence of these viruses from their natural host.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-viruses-11-00152"><title>2.

To test if IRF3 is critical for an IFN response in big brown bat cells, we treated Efk3 cells with poly(I:C), a synthetic double-stranded analogue of viral RNA and observed the cellular location of IRF3 by immunofluorescent microscopy.

This suggests that, at least in some bat species, the effects of infection are not as dramatic as in humans. Munster et al. reported an interferon response in MERS-CoV infected fruit bats [<xref rid="B10-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>], but did not explore the mechanisms that might be involved.

We had compared these cell lines previously [<xref rid="B38-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>], showing that they differed in their response to poly(I:C), a surrogate of double-stranded viral RNA. We found that as compared to MRC5 cells, the virus grew poorly in Efk3 cells and that this was likely due to continued IRF3-mediated IFNβ expression in bat cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f001">Figure 1</xref>A,B,F). To rule out the possibility that MRC5 and Efk3 cells were unique in their response to MERS-CoV and did not represent the human and bat response, we examined additional human lung and liver cell lines (CaLu3, A549, and Huh7), and Tb1-Lu (bat lung), the only other commercially available vespertilionid bat cell line. The virus replicated in Huh7 and CaLu3 at lower levels than in in MRC5 cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f001">Figure 1</xref>C). However, in these cells, viral replication was greater than in bat cells. In addition, in contrast to EfK cells, human cell lines tested did not respond with increases in IFNβ gene expression when infected with MERS-CoV. While some A549 cells displayed a limited cytopathic effect at later time points (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f002">Figure 2</xref>), MERS-CoV did not replicate to any significant extent in these cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f001">Figure 1</xref>C). This is consistent with other reports that A549 cells lack DPP4, the putative receptor for MERS-CoV, and are therefore not susceptible to productive viral infection [<xref rid="B51-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]. Tb1-Lu cells were also not susceptible to MERS-CoV (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f001">Figure 1</xref>D). These results are consistent with those of Yang et al., who showed that Tb1-Lu cells do not express DPP4 and are only susceptible to MERS-CoV if transfected to express exogenous DPP4 [<xref rid="B52-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>].</p><p>Widagdo et al. mapped the distribution of DPP4, the putative receptor for MERS-CoV in the bat <italic>Eptesicus serotinus</italic>.

There is indeed a need to explore the role of IRF3 in persistent infections.</p><p>We noted that after poly(I:C) treatment, there was a degradation of IRF3 in MRC5 cells, unlike in big brown bat cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f004">Figure 4</xref>A,B; ncsiRNA and poly(I:C) treatment groups). Saitoh et al. have shown that peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) negatively regulates IRF3 in human cells. Pin1 selectively ubiquitinates and marks phosphorylated human IRF3 for degradation, thus limiting IRF3 mediated signaling [<xref rid="B66-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>]. We did not observe a similar degradation of IRF3 in big brown bat cells. Preliminary data indicate that IRF3 in poly(I:C) treated Efk3 cells degrades slower than poly(I:C) treated MRC5 cells. Although we have not detected IFNα in big brown bat kidney cells, a delayed or absent negative feedback mechanism in bat cells might explain why cells from some bat species have been reported to have an unusual constitutive expression of IFNα [<xref rid="B58-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>], which is speculated to prime the bat antiviral responses. More work is needed to confirm the role of IRF3 in constitutive and tonic IFN expression in bats. As we build our capacity to culture immune cells in vitro from big brown bats, we will develop tools to study IRF3-Pin1 interactions in immune relevant cells. </p><p>Knock-down of IRF3 in MERS-CoV-infected big brown bat cells decreased IFNβ transcripts with a concomitant increase in levels of MERS-CoV (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f005">Figure 5</xref>A,B), suggesting that IRF3 signaling was responsible for suppressing replication of the virus in Efk3 cells. However, there could be other signaling molecules or transcription factors in bat cells that activate IFNβ expression and more studies are required to completely dissect the IFNβ expression pathway in bats. Knocking down IRF3 in MRC5 cells did not have an effect on the levels of IFNβ transcript or MERS-CoV replication (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f005">Figure 5</xref>A,B). This is probably because MERS-CoV can effectively shut down IRF3-mediated expression of IFNs in human cells [<xref rid="B19-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="B20-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>,<xref rid="B23-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] and the inclusion of siRNA did not significantly further suppress it. We observed more OAS1 transcripts in cells that expressed higher levels of IFNβ transcripts. OAS1 is an ISG and its expression is largely driven by IFN expression. This data further supports our observation that IRF3 is critical for IFN and subsequent downstream gene expression in big brown bat cells.</p><p>Although there was an increase in the MERS-CoV titer in IRF3 knocked down/out bat cells as compared to wildtype bat (Efk3) cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f005">Figure 5</xref>A,E), IRF3 knockout bat cells did not support MERS-CoV propagation to the same extent as MRC5 cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f005">Figure 5</xref>E) 48 h after infection. Our data indicate that IRF3 is critical for IFNβ production in big brown bat cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="viruses-11-00152-f004">Figure 4</xref>A–C), but it is possible that these cells have alternate and yet unknown ISGs that are expressed independent of IRF3 and IFNβ expression. DeWitte-Orr et al. have shown that long double-stranded RNA can induce an antiviral response independent of IRF3 [<xref rid="B67-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>]. De La Cruz-Rivera et al. have shown that <italic>Pteropus alecto</italic> kidney cells display an atypical RNASEL induction along with a unique ISG expression profile when infected with vesicular stomatitis virus and yellow fever virus [<xref rid="B68-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>]. Similar adaptations may exist in insectivorous bat cells that allow them to co-exist with viruses that can otherwise inhibit these defensive responses in human cells. Further studies using siRNA-mediated knockdowns and CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockouts of known pathways will allow us to identify if bat cells indeed have alternate and novel mechanisms to control virus replication. As more bat cells become commercially available, it will be interesting to test these cells for MERS-CoV susceptibility and downstream signaling events. It will also be interesting to test the role of tonic interferon signaling and basal levels of ISG expression in bat cells. Next generation transcriptomic studies and a better coverage of the big brown bat (<italic>E. fuscus</italic>) genomic sequence data will allow us to identify unique patterns of ISG regulation and expression in these cells.</p><p>Our observation that IRF3 plays a critical role in controlling MERS-CoV propagation in big brown bat cells opens up a new line of investigation. Our data suggest that although MERS-CoV can effectively suppress an antiviral IFNβ response in human cells, it is unable to subvert antiviral interferon responses in big brown bat cells. IRF3 is activated as a result of phosphorylation by cellular kinases and in the future, as more bat-specific reagents become available, it will be interesting to identify kinases in bat cells that phosphorylate bat IRF3. MERS-CoV blocks IRF3 activation by inhibiting the phosphorylation of IRF3 by cellular kinases such as TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) [<xref rid="B22-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. The mechanism of kinase inactivation by MERS-CoV is not yet known. Future studies will focus on identifying mechanisms that enable bat TBK1 and other cellular kinases to resist MERS-CoV protein-mediated inactivation. It is also likely that bat cells and MERS-CoV proteins have co-evolved to establish a balance between the activation and suppression of antiviral signaling. This theory will need to be tested and the ability to isolate bat CoVs may allow us to study bat CoV-IRF3 interaction in a more natural setting. This study represents yet another unique observation in cells from an insectivorous bat (<italic>E. fuscus</italic>) that may explain the ability of bats and their viruses to co-exist. </p><p>Bats make up over 1200 different species and in the past, we have noticed differences in the genetic makeup between bat species [<xref rid="B38-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>]. It is critical to carry out these studies in cells from different bat species to identify species-specific adaptations in virus-host interactions [<xref rid="B69-viruses-11-00152" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>]. As more knowledge about virus-host interactions in this intriguing mammalian Order become available, we may be able to adapt some of these strategies to identify new therapeutic targets or molecules to treat spill over species such as humans and agricultural animals. Emerging viruses from wildlife is a continuing problem and learning about how ancestral hosts and reservoir species co-exist with some of these viruses will help us develop prevention and treatment strategies for other species.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>We acknowledge Eiko Kawamura and Sonu Subudhi’s support with confocal microscopy and qRTPCR, respectively.
