To identify factors that contribute to rSARS-CoV-ΔE attenuation, gene expression in cells infected by SARS-CoV with or without E gene was compared. Twenty-five stress response genes were preferentially upregulated during infection in the absence of the E gene. In addition, genes involved in signal transduction, transcription, cell metabolism, immunoregulation, inflammation, apoptosis and cell cycle and differentiation were differentially regulated in cells infected with rSARS-CoV with or without the E gene. Administration of E protein in trans reduced the stress response in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE or with respiratory syncytial virus, or treated with drugs, such as tunicamycin and thapsigargin that elicit cell stress by different mechanisms. In addition, SARS-CoV E protein down-regulated the signaling pathway inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE-1) of the unfolded protein response, but not the PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) or activating transcription factor 6 (ATF-6) pathways, and reduced cell apoptosis. Overall, the activation of the IRE-1 pathway was not able to restore cell homeostasis, and apoptosis was induced probably as a measure to protect the host by limiting virus production and dissemination. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines was reduced in rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected cells compared to rSARS-CoV-infected cells, suggesting that the increase in stress responses and the reduction of inflammation in the absence of the E gene contributed to the attenuation of rSARS-CoV-ΔE.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name

To identify factors that contribute to rSARS-CoV-ΔE attenuation, gene expression in cells infected by SARS-CoV with or without E gene was compared. Twenty-five stress response genes were preferentially upregulated during infection in the absence of the E gene. In addition, genes involved in signal transduction, transcription, cell metabolism, immunoregulation, inflammation, apoptosis and cell cycle and differentiation were differentially regulated in cells infected with rSARS-CoV with or without the E gene. Administration of E protein in trans reduced the stress response in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE or with respiratory syncytial virus, or treated with drugs, such as tunicamycin and thapsigargin that elicit cell stress by different mechanisms. In addition, SARS-CoV E protein down-regulated the signaling pathway inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE-1) of the unfolded protein response, but not the PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) or activating transcription factor 6 (ATF-6) pathways, and reduced cell apoptosis. Overall, the activation of the IRE-1 pathway was not able to restore cell homeostasis, and apoptosis was induced probably as a measure to protect the host by limiting virus production and dissemination. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines was reduced in rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected cells compared to rSARS-CoV-infected cells, suggesting that the increase in stress responses and the reduction of inflammation in the absence of the E gene contributed to the attenuation of rSARS-CoV-ΔE.</p></abstract><abstract abstract-type="summary"><title>Author Summary</title><p>To identify potential mechanisms mediating the <italic>in vivo</italic> attenuation of SARS-CoV lacking the E gene (rSARS-CoV-ΔE), the effect of the presence of the E gene on host gene expression was studied. In rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected cells, the expression of at least 25 stress response genes was preferentially upregulated, compared to cells infected with rSARS-CoV. E protein supplied in trans reversed the increase in stress response genes observed in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE or with respiratory syncytial virus, and by treatment with drugs causing stress by different mechanisms. Furthermore, in the presence of the E protein a subset (IRE-1 pathway), but not two others (PERK and ATF-6), of the unfolded protein response was also reduced. Nevertheless, the activation of the unfolded protein response to control cell homeostasis was not sufficient to alleviate cell stress, and an increase in cell apoptosis in cells infected with the virus lacking E protein was observed. This apoptotic response was probably induced to protect the host by limiting virus production and dissemination. In cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE, genes associated with the proinflammatory pathway were down-regulated compared to cells infected with virus expressing E protein, supporting the idea that a reduction in inflammation was also relevant in the attenuation of the virus deletion mutant.</p></abstract><counts><page-count count="19"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec id="s1"><title>Introduction</title><p>Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was identified as the etiological agent of a respiratory disease that emerged in Guandong Province, China at the end of 2002, and spread to 32 countries in a few months <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Drosten1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Fouchier1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Ksiazek1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Kuiken1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Marra1" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Peiris1" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Rota1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>.

In addition, enveloped viruses modify and perturb membranes to generate new virus particles. This extensive use of intracellular membranes for virus replication and morphogenesis likely overloads the ER during infection, causing ER stress responses and triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR increases the production of chaperones that facilitate protein folding, promotes the synthesis of lipids that constitute cellular membranes and inhibits translation in order to reduce ER stress <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Ron1" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref>. The UPR is mediated by three ER-resident transmembrane proteins that are activated through binding to unfolded proteins: PKR-like ER kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE-1) <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Wang1" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Harding1" ref-type="bibr">[39]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Chen1" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>. Upon activation, PERK dimerizes and autophosphorylates. This protein phosphorylates eIF2α, leading to the inhibition of translation. ATF6 activation involves the translocation of this protein to the Golgi compartment, where site 1 and site 2 proteases process the 90 KDa form to create a 50 KDa form, the ATF6α(C), a soluble transcription factor that translocates to the nucleus and upregulates the expression of genes involved in protein folding. IRE-1 mediates the splicing of the mRNA encoding the transcription factor X box-binding protein 1 (XBP-1), leading to a frame shift and translation of a functional XBP-1 protein. The active transcription factor (sXBP-1) can then stimulate the transcription of genes encoding proteins that promote the folding, transport, and degradation of ER proteins, and lipid biosynthesis.</p><p>The ER stress response acts to restore ER homeostasis.

We showed that SARS-CoV E protein influenced the expression of genes associated to stress response, immunoregulation, inflammation, apoptosis, and cell cycle and differentiation. Among these changes, the effect on stress response was most robust, based on both the number of differentially expressed genes regulating this activity and on the extent of the changes observed. This downregulation of the stress response in the presence of gene E was specific as this process was reversed by providing E protein in trans. In addition, we showed that E protein reduced the cellular stress caused by another respiratory virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and two drugs (tunicamycin and thapsigargin) that induce stress by different mechanisms. Furthermore, the presence of E protein reduced the activation of the IRE-1 mediated pathway during the UPR. However, the activation of these signaling pathways in the absence of E protein was not sufficient to reverse the cellular stress induced by rSARS-CoV-ΔE since infected cells underwent apoptosis. In addition, the absence of E protein increased the expression of the double specificity phosphatases (DUSP)-1 and DUSP-10, and down regulated proinflammatory cytokines such as CCL2 and CXCL2. Therefore, the effect of E protein on the stress response, including the UPR, and on proinflammatory cytokine expression may explain the attenuation of rSARS-CoV-ΔE <italic>in vivo</italic>.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>Results</title><sec id="s2a"><title>Growth kinetics of SARS-CoV in Vero E6 and MA-104 cells</title><p>To study the host response elicited by SARS-CoV, it is essential to use cell lines, such as Vero E6, MA-104, CaCo-2, Huh7, FRhK-4, PK15, HepG2, 293 and 293T cells, that are highly susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV <xref rid="ppat.1002315-GillimRoss1" ref-type="bibr">[52]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Hattermann1" ref-type="bibr">[53]</xref>, . To determine whether these cell lines were also susceptible to rSARS-CoV-ΔE, virus growth kinetics studies were performed. rSARS-CoV-ΔE passaged 16 times in Vero E6 cells (P16) was analyzed, as this virus grew with titers similar to those of rSARS-CoV, around 10-fold higher than virus passaged only once (P1). rSARS-CoV-ΔE-P16 contained only a single nucleotide substitution at amino acid 607 of the S gene (S607F) compared to the P1 virus <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Netland1" ref-type="bibr">[56]</xref>. Both rSARS-CoV-ΔE P1 and the P16 were attenuated in the highly susceptible transgenic mice model <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Netland1" ref-type="bibr">[56]</xref>, showing that the deletion of the E gene, and not the amino acid substitution in S protein, was responsible for virus attenuation. All the cell lines indicated above were infected with SARS-CoV with and without E gene at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of 1, 3 and 5 and the percentage of infected cells at 24 hours post infection (hpi) was determined using an immunofluorescence assay. Similar results were obtained both in SARS-CoV and rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected cells, so only the results obtained with SARS-CoV-infected cells are provided in Supplementary Table SI. An increase in the moi led to a higher proportion of infected cells in all cell lines. The percentage of infected cells was below 40% in all cases, except for African green monkey kidney Vero E6 and MA-104 cells (Supplementary <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="ppat.1002315.s006">Table S1</xref>), which have or do not have, respectively, a defect in interferon (IFN) production <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Emeny1" ref-type="bibr">[57]</xref>, <xref rid="ppat.1002315-McKimmBreschkin1" ref-type="bibr">[58]</xref>. More than 90% of Vero E6 cells were infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE or rSARS-CoV at 24 hpi, whereas in the case of MA-104 cells, more than 80% of the cells were infected with both viruses at 24 hpi (Supplementary <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="ppat.1002315.s006">Table S1</xref>). The growth kinetics of rSARS-CoV-ΔE and rSARS-CoV in Vero E6 cells at an moi of 2 showed similar profiles and titers for both viruses, reaching maximum titers and cytopathicity at 15 hpi (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g001">Fig. 1A</xref>). In contrast, in the case of MA-104 cells, although growth kinetics for rSARS-CoV-ΔE and the parental virus were similar, a 10-fold reduction in virus titers was observed in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE virus (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g001">Fig. 1A</xref>). This difference is not unexpected, as the ΔE virus that was used in these experiments was passaged and adapted to growth in Vero E6, but not in MA-104 cells. The cytopathic effect in MA-104 cells was evident at 48 hpi and maximum virus titers were reached at 65 hpi (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g001">Fig. 1A</xref>). The kinetics of genomic RNA and N gene sg mRNA accumulation were similar in rSARS-CoV-ΔE and rSARS-CoV-infected Vero E6 and MA-104 cells, as determined by qRT-PCR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g001">Fig. 1B and 1C</xref>), indicating that SARS-CoV E protein had no influence on the accumulation of viral RNAs. Maximum levels of both types of viral RNA were observed at 15–22 hpi, in the case of infected Vero E6 cells and at 48 hpi in the case of MA-104 cells. These data showed that although Vero E6 and MA-104 cells were susceptible to SARS-CoV, the kinetics of the infection was slower in MA-104 than in Vero E6 cells, which needs to be considered when cellular mRNAs are collected for differential gene expression studies.</p><fig id="ppat-1002315-g001" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.ppat.1002315.g001</object-id><label>Figure 1</label><caption><title>Characterization of infection of Vero E6 and MA-104 cells with rSARS-CoV and rSARS-CoV-ΔE.</title><p>Vero E6 and MA-104 cells were infected at an moi of 2 with rSARS-CoV-ΔE or rSARS-CoV.

Interestingly, the number of annotated genes differentially expressed in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE compared to rSARS-CoV, in which the only difference is the expression of E gene, was reduced to 57 (Vero E6 cells) or to 72 (MA-104 cells) at 15 or 65 hpi, respectively (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g002">Fig. 2</xref>). These genes were classified according to their most commonly accepted functions (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g003">Fig. 3</xref>). A high number of genes related to stress responses (19 out of 57 in Vero E6 cells, and 19 out of 72 in MA-104 cells) were differentially expressed, with 2- to 35-fold increases. The pattern of genes upregulated in rSARS-CoV-ΔE compared to rSARS-CoV-infected cells was very similar in Vero E6 and MA-104 cells, and included different isoforms of heat shock protein (hsp) (hsps-10, -27, -40, -60, -70, -90 and -105/110), and different genes encoding ubiquitins and chaperonins (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g003">Fig. 3</xref>). These data clearly indicated that the cellular stress induced by the infection was significantly reduced in the presence of E protein. Nevertheless, it is worthy to mention that not all cellular stress genes were differentially expressed in cells infected with SARS-CoV lacking E protein versus those infected with rSARS-CoV. In fact, a set of genes coding for different isoforms of hsp40, hsp70, and hsp 90, also modified their expression between −11.0 and and +4.0-fold but to a similar extent in rSARS-CoV-ΔE and rSARS-CoV-infected cells when compared with mock infected ones (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="ppat.1002315.s001">Fig. S1</xref>).</p><fig id="ppat-1002315-g002" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.ppat.1002315.g002</object-id><label>Figure 2</label><caption><title>Effect of SARS-CoV E protein on host gene expression.</title><p>Comparison of gene expression in Vero E6 (at 15 hpi) and MA-104 (at 65 hpi) cells using microarrays: rSARS-CoV versus mock-infected, rSARS-CoV-ΔE versus mock-infected and rSARS-CoV-ΔE versus rSARS-CoV-infected cells.

Consequently, these time points were selected to further analyze the stress responses elicited by these viruses (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g006">Fig. 6</xref>). Using microarrays, we observed that nineteen genes involved in cytosolic stress were upregulated at least 2.5-fold (FDR<0.01) in rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected compared to rSARS-CoV-infected Vero E6 cells (15 hpi) and MA-104 cells (65 hpi).

To rule out the possibility that the mutation in the S gene was responsible for the observed increase in cellular stress, and not the absence of E protein, the induction of stress genes in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE-p1, which has an RNA genome sequence identical to that of the parental virus except for the deletion of gene E, was analyzed. Total RNA from Vero E6 cultures infected with the original viruses (P1) with or without E protein, and with the virus lacking E protein passaged 16 times, was extracted at 22 hpi. The expression of cellular genes involved in cytosolic, ER, and mitochondrial stress was evaluated by qRT-PCR.

Vero E6 cells were infected with viruses lacking the E gene (P1 and P16) or with virus expressing the E gene, and 90 min later, cells were transfected with the plasmid pcDNA3.1-E, encoding the E protein, or with empty plasmid as a control. E protein was expressed in cells transfected with plasmids expressing this protein, although levels were 10-fold lower than in SARS-CoV infected cells, as shown by Western-blot analysis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g007">Fig. 7A</xref>).

E protein added in trans had no significant effect on rSARS-CoV-P16 or rSARS-CoV-ΔE titers, indicating that the absence of E protein in rSARS-CoV-ΔE, and not the amount of virus produced, was responsible for the increase in cell stress response. The expression of stress genes hsp70 A1A, hsp90 AA1, hspH1, SERPINH1, and hsp10 E1 in cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE viruses (P1 and P16) or rSARS-CoV, in the presence or absence of the transfected E gene, was analyzed by qRT-PCR (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ppat-1002315-g007">Figs. 7C</xref> and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="ppat.1002315.s004">S4</xref>).

To analyze whether SARS-CoV E protein modulated apoptosis induced by SARS-CoV infection, the induction of apoptosis was analyzed in cells infected with rSARS-CoV lacking or expressing E gene. Cells infected either with rSARS-CoV or rSARS-CoV-ΔE were simultaneously stained with propidium iodide (PI) and Annexin V, and monitored by flow cytometry.

In this work, to identify possible mechanisms for this attenuation, the effect of E protein on host cell responses during virus infection was analyzed by comparing the transcriptome of rSARS-CoV-ΔE and rSARS-CoV-infected cells. Among the genes differentially expressed, a large number of genes corresponding to cellular stress were upregulated in rSARS-CoV-ΔE compared to wt virus infected cells, clearly indicating that the presence SARS-CoV E protein reduced the stress response during infection. Upregulation of the stress response was also confirmed at the protein level, as the expression of representative stress response proteins, such as hsp60 and hsp90 was also increased. The addition of E protein in trans reversed the increase in stress response gene expression observed in rSARS-CoV-ΔE-infected cells, confirming the specific suppression of the stress response by E protein. Interestingly, levels of E protein were 10-fold lower than those expressed in SARS-CoV-infected cells, but were sufficient to reduce the increase in stress response genes, indicating the robust effect of E protein. In addition, rSARS-CoV-ΔE titers were not significantly increased by providing E protein in trans, probably due to the low levels of E protein expressed in rSARS-CoV-ΔE infected cells, indicating that the presence or absence of E protein, and not the amount of virus, was responsible for the increase in stress response and apoptosis. In addition, stress induced by another virus, RSV, was also downregulated by SARS-CoV E protein. Furthermore, expression of E protein in the absence of virus infection reduced stress induced by tunicamycin or thapsigargin. SARS-CoV E protein also inhibited a subset of the stress response. Specifically, E protein inhibited the activation of the XBP-1-mediated pathway of the UPR, and apoptosis induced by SARS-CoV. We have shown that in MA-104 cells infected with rSARS-CoV-ΔE, two important pro-inflammatory cytokines (CCL2/MCP-1 and CXCL2/macrophage inflammatory protein 2 [MIP-2]) were downregulated, indicating that the E protein reduces virus-induced inflammation.</p><p>SARS-CoV is the most pathogenic human coronavirus known <xref rid="ppat.1002315-Weiss1" ref-type="bibr">[70]</xref>.
