    Abstract While having already killed more than 7 million of people worldwide in 4 years, SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19, is still circulating and evolving. Understanding the pathogenesis of the virus is of capital importance. It was shown that in vitro and in vivo infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to cell cycle arrest but the effect of the cell cycle arrest on the virus infection and the associated mechanisms are still unclear. By stopping cells in the G1 phase as well as targeting several pathways involved using inhibitors and small interfering RNAs, we were able to determine that the cell cycle arrest in the late G1 is beneficial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. This cell cycle arrest is independent of p53 but is dependent on the CDC25A-CDK2/cyclin E pathway. These data give a new understanding in SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and highlight some possible targets for the development of novel therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract The handling of highly pathogenic viruses, whether for diagnostic or research purposes, often requires an activation step. This article reviews available inactivation techniques published in peer-reviewed journals and their benefits and limitations in relation to the intended application. The bulk of highly pathogenic viruses are represented by enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the Togaviridae , Flaviviridae , Filoviridae , Arenaviridae , Hantaviridae , Peribunyaviridae , Phenuiviridae , Nairoviridae and Orthomyxoviridae families. Here, we summarize inactivation methods for these virus families that allow for subsequent molecular and serological analysis or vaccine development. The techniques identified here include: treatment with guanidium-based chaotropic salts, heat inactivation, photoactive compounds such as psoralens or 1.5-iodonaphtyl azide, detergents, fixing with aldehydes, UV-radiation, gamma irradiation, aromatic disulfides, beta-propiolacton and hydrogen peroxide. The combination of simple techniques such as heat or UV-radiation and detergents such as Tween-20, Triton X-100 or Sodium dodecyl sulfate are often sufficient for virus inactivation, but the efficiency may be affected by influencing factors including quantity of infectious particles, matrix constitution, pH, salt- and protein content. Residual infectivity of the inactivated virus could have disastrous consequences for both laboratory/healthcare personnel and patients. Therefore, the development of inactivation protocols requires careful considerations which we review here.

    Abstract Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hazara virus (HAZV) belong to the same viral serotype and family. HAZV has lately been used as a model system and surrogate to CCHFV. However, virus-host cell interaction and level of pathogenicity for these viruses are not well investigated nor compared. In this study, we compared HAZV and CCHFV infection of human polarized epithelial cells to shed light on similarities and differences in virus-host cell interaction between these two viruses. We investigated the pattern of infection of CCHFV and HAZV in fully polarized human cells, the Caco-2 cell line. Polarization of Caco-2 cells lead to difference in expression level and pattern of proteins between the apical and the basolateral membranes. We found that CCHFV virus, in contrast to HAZV, is more likely infecting polarized cells basolaterally. In addition, we found that cytokines/pro-inflammatory factors or other viral factors secreted from CCHFV infected moDC cells enhance the entry of CCHFV contrary to HAZV. We have shown that CCHFV and HAZV early in infection use different strategies for entry. The data presented in this study also highlight the important role of cytokines in CCHFV-host cell interaction.

    Abstract Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick-borne viral disease caused by the orthonairovirus CCHF virus (CCHFV). Ticks of the genus Hyalomma are the viral reservoir and they represent the main vector transmitting the virus to their hosts during blood feeding. However, how CCHFV replicates in its natural arthropod host cells and the nature of virus/host interactions are still largely unknown. With the aim of developing tools for use in this field, we identified and validated expression of four candidate endogenous control tick genes in a Hyalomma anatolicum-derived cell line. These genes will be useful for normalization of viral/cellular transcripts in infection/expression studies or as internal controls in molecular epidemiology surveys of pathogens transmitted by Hyalomma ticks.

    Abstract Bats are remarkably resilient to viruses with pandemic potential. To resolve largely unknown molecular mechanisms governing their exceptional antiviral immunity, we established an organoid platform to model the entire respiratory airway and intestinal epithelium of the important viral reservoir species Rousettus aegyptiacus (Egyptian fruit bat). These bat organoids exhibit an unexpected diversity of cell types and support replication of highly pathogenic zoonotic viruses including Marburg virus (MARV) and MERS-Coronavirus. Following virus infection, bat organoids unleash a strong interferon response, uniquely regulated through virus-dependent and virus-independent mechanisms. By contrast, MARV infected human organoids fail to induce an antiviral gene response and express pro-inflammatory cytokines after interferon stimulation, revealing important molecular differences between bats and humans with implications for lethal Marburg virus infections in primates. These data provide the most comprehensive organoid platform in bats to decode species-specific differences and uncover fundamental principles of bat disease resilience to emerging viruses with pandemic potential.
