- Abstract
Orthoflaviviruses cause a major threat to global public health, and no antiviral treatment is available yet. Zika virus (ZIKV) entry, together with many other viruses, is known to be enhanced by phosphatidylserine (PS) receptors such as T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain protein 1 (TIM-1). In this study, we demonstrate for the first time, using cell-based electrical impedance (CEI) biosensing, that ZIKV entry is also enhanced by expression of CD300a, another PS receptor. Furthermore, inhibiting CD300a in immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells partially but significantly inhibits ZIKV replication. As we have previously demonstrated that CEI is a useful tool to study Orthoflavivirus infection in real time, we now use this technology to determine how these PS receptors influence the kinetics of in vitro ZIKV infection. Results show that ZIKV entry is highly sensitive to minor changes in TIM-1 expression, both after overexpression of TIM-1 in infection-resistant HEK293T cells, as well as after partial knockout of TIM-1 in susceptible A549 cells. These results are confirmed by quantification of viral copy number and viral infectivity, demonstrating that CEI is highly suited to study and compare virus-host interactions. Overall, the results presented here demonstrate the potential of targeting this universal viral entry pathway.
