Chemical inhibition of RNA viruses reveals REDD1 as a host defense factor

Abstract: A chemical genetics approach was taken to identify inhibitors of NS1, a major influenza A virus virulence factor that inhibits host gene expression. A high-throughput screen of 200,000 synthetic compounds identified small molecules that reverted NS1-mediated inhibition of host gene expression. A counter-screen for suppression of influenza virus cytotoxicity identified naphthalimides that inhibited replication of influenza virus and vesicular stomatitis virus. The mechanism of action was through activation of R… Show more

“…Given the importance of NS1-mediated host mRNA export block to favor viral replication, NS1 is seen as an attractive target for development of novel antiviral therapeutics and for probing novel cellular mechanisms. In the last few years, high throughput screens were performed to identify small molecules that could antagonize NS1-mediated inhibition of host gene expression [51,52]. In one screen, an NS1 antagonist was shown to rescue interferon expression by NS1 thereby restoring antiviral response [51].…”

“…This effect would lead to expression of mRNAs encoding antiviral factors, which would contribute to the restoration of antiviral response. In another screen, an antagonist of NS1 inhibited replication of VSV and influenza virus by inducing the expression of REDD1, an inhibitor of the mTORC1 pathway that is required for influenza virus replication [52,53]. The relationship between this mechanism and the effect of NS1 on nucleocytoplasmic trafficking is not yet known.…”
