    Abstract The reality of human infections by Bornaviridae (and particularly by mammalian Orthobornaviruses BoDV-1 and BoDV-2) has long been the centre of debate and controversies. New data, however, have profoundly modified the game by providing strong and unambiguous pieces of evidence, even if many points still need to be clarified. This review aims at presenting the current state of the question, based on today’s knowledge.

    Abstract Developing new approaches amenable to the measurement of neuronal physiology in real-time is a very active field of investigation, as it will offer improved methods to assess the impact of diverse insults on neuronal homeostasis. Here, the development of an in vitro bio platform is reported which can record the electrical activity of cultured primary rat cortical neurons with extreme sensitivity, while simultaneously tracking the localized changes in the pH of the culture medium. This bio platform features passive vertical nanoprobes with ultra-high signal resolution (several mV amplitude ranges) and Chem-FinFETs (pH sensitivity of sub-0.1 pH units), covering an area as little as a neuronal soma. These multi-sensing units are arranged in an array to probe both chemically and electrically an equivalent surface of ≈ 0.5 mm

    Title translation Bornavirus et cellules cibles : une amitié presque sincère.
    Abstract Viruses have to meet the challenge to cope with the limited capacity of renewal of neuronal cells in order to allow their replication and persistence in the central nervous system (CNS). Accordingly, many neurotropic viruses establish latency to optimize their maintenance in the CNS. Bornaviruses have evolved a different and original strategy to persist in neurons, which involves an active replication without associated cytopathic effect. Despite their small genomes and limited number of proteins, bornaviruses hijack multiple signaling pathways, leading to escape from immune surveillance or protection of cells against apoptosis. Long term persistence has even led to integration of genome elements within the host cell genome, leading to "fossil bornaviruses" in a wide range of vertebrate species. Hence, bornaviruses represent the ideal host-cell adaptation example and can thus be considered as the "best enemy" for its hosts.

    Abstract Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-stranded RNA virus that causes neurological diseases in a variety of warm-blooded animal species. Recently, we showed that the nucleoside analog 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C) was a potent inhibitor of BDV. This finding was surprising for an RNA virus, since Ara-C is a DNA polymerase inhibitor. Thus, we sought to better define the mechanism of action of Ara-C on BDV. Here, we show that (i) this effect is specific for an arabinoside ring carrying a cytosine base, (ii) it requires phosphorylation of the nucleotide, and (iii) it can be reversed by an excess of cytidine. Using the recently described minigenome assay for BDV, we provide evidence suggesting that Ara-C may act as a competitive inhibitor of the BDV replication complex.

    Abstract Borna disease viruses (BoDV) have recently emerged as zoonotic neurotropic pathogens. These persistent RNA viruses assemble nuclear replication centers (vSPOT) in close interaction with the host chromatin. However, the topology of this interaction and its consequences on neuronal function remain unexplored. In neurons, DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) have been identified as novel epigenetic mechanisms regulating neurotransmission and cognition. Activity-dependent DSB contribute critically to neuronal plasticity processes, which could be impaired upon infection. Here, we show that BoDV-1 infection, or the singled-out expression of viral Nucleoprotein and Phosphoprotein, increases neuronal DSB levels. Of interest, inducing DSB promoted the recruitment anew of vSPOT colocalized with DSB and increased viral RNA replication. BoDV-1 persistence decreased neuronal activity and response to stimulation by dampening the surface expression of glutamate receptors. Taken together, our results propose an original mechanistic cross talk between persistence of an RNA virus and neuronal function, through the control of DSB levels.

    Abstract: ... beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C), a known inhibitor of DNA polymerases, inhibits BDV replication ...

    Abstract Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-strand RNA virus that causes neurological diseases in a variety of warm-blooded animal species. There is general consensus that BDV can also infect humans, being a possible zoonosis. Although the clinical consequences of human BDV infection are still controversial, experimental BDV infection is a well-described model for human neuropsychiatric diseases. To date, there is no effective treatment against BDV. In this paper, we demonstrate that the nucleoside analog 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C), a known inhibitor of DNA polymerases, inhibits BDV replication. Ara-C treatment inhibited BDV RNA and protein synthesis and prevented BDV cell-to-cell spread in vitro. Replication of other negative-strand RNA viruses such as influenza virus or measles virus was not inhibited by Ara-C, underscoring the particularity of the replication machinery of BDV. Strikingly, Ara-C treatment induced nuclear retention of viral ribonucleoparticles. These findings could not be attributed to known effects of Ara-C on the host cell, suggesting that Ara-C directly inhibits the BDV polymerase. Finally, we show that Ara-C inhibits BDV replication in vivo in the brain of infected rats, preventing persistent infection of the central nervous system as well as the development of clinical disease. These findings open the way to the development of effective antiviral therapy against BDV.

    Abstract Mortalin is a mitochondrial chaperone protein involved in quality control of proteins imported into the mitochondrial matrix, which was recently described as a sensor of neuronal stress. Mortalin is down-regulated in neurons of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and levels of Mortalin expression are correlated with neuronal fate in animal models of Alzheimer's disease or cerebral ischemia. To date, however, the links between Mortalin levels, its impact on mitochondrial function and morphology and, ultimately, the initiation of neurodegeneration, are still unclear. In the present study, we used lentiviral vectors to over- or under-express Mortalin in primary neuronal cultures. We first analyzed the early events of neurodegeneration in the axonal compartment, using oriented neuronal cultures grown in microfluidic-based devices. We observed that Mortalin down-regulation induced mitochondrial fragmentation and axonal damage, whereas its over-expression conferred protection against axonal degeneration mediated by rotenone exposure. We next demonstrated that Mortalin levels modulated mitochondrial morphology by acting on DRP1 phosphorylation, thereby further illustrating the crucial implication of mitochondrial dynamics on neuronal fate in degenerative diseases.

    Abstract Congenital infection of the central nervous system by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a leading cause of permanent sequelae, including mental retardation or neurodevelopmental abnormalities. The most severe complications include smooth brain or polymicrogyria, which are both indicative of abnormal migration of neural cells, although the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined. To gain better insight on the pathogenesis of such sequelae, we assessed the expression levels of a set of neurogenesis-related genes, using HCMV-infected human neural stem cells derived from embryonic stem cells (NSCs). Among the 84 genes tested, we found dramatically increased expression of the gene PAFAH1B1, encoding LIS1 (lissencephaly-1), in HCMV-infected versus uninfected NSCs. Consistent with these findings, western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses confirmed the increased levels of LIS1 in HCMV-infected NSCs at the protein level. We next assessed the migratory abilities of HCMV-infected NSCs and observed that infection strongly impaired the migration of NSCs, without detectable effect on their proliferation. Moreover, we observed increased immunostaining for LIS1 in brains of congenitally infected fetuses, but not in control samples, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Of note, PAFAH1B1 mutations (resulting in either haploinsufficiency or gain of function) are primary causes of hereditary neurodevelopmental diseases. Notably, mutations resulting in PAFAH1B1 haploinsufficiency cause classic lissencephaly. Taken together, our findings suggest that PAFAH1B1 is a critical target of HCMV infection. They also shine a new light on the pathophysiological basis of the neurological outcomes of congenital HCMV infection, by suggesting that defective neural cell migration might contribute to the pathogenesis of the neurodevelopmental sequelae of infection. © 2021 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
