Abstract

Human astroviruses (HAstV) are major causes of gastroenteritis, especially in children, and there are no vaccines or antivirals currently available. Little is known about host factors required for their cellular entry. Here we utilized complementary CRISPR-Cas9-based knockout and activation screens to identify neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP4) as entry factors for HAstV infection in vitro. Disruption of FcRn or DPP4 reduced HAstV infection in permissive cells and, reciprocally, overexpression of these factors in non-permissive cells was sufficient to promote infection. We observed direct binding of FcRn, but not DPP4, with HAstV virions and the purified spike protein. This suggests that FcRn is a receptor for HAstVs while DPP4 is a cofactor for entry. Inhibitors for DPP4 and FcRn currently in clinical use prevented HAstV infection in cell lines and human enteroids. Our results reveal mechanisms of HAstV entry as well as druggable targets to limit HAstV infection.

新生儿 Fc 受体是人类星状病毒的细胞受体

人类星状病毒（HAstV）是导致肠胃炎，尤其是儿童肠胃炎的主要原因，目前还没有疫苗或抗病毒药物。人们对其进入细胞所需的宿主因子知之甚少。在这里，我们利用基于 CRISPR-Cas9 的互补性基因敲除和激活筛选，确定了新生儿 Fc 受体（FcRn）和二肽基肽酶 IV（DPP4）作为体外感染 HAstV 的进入因子。FcRn或DPP4的破坏会减少HAstV在允许细胞中的感染，反之，在非允许细胞中过表达这些因子足以促进感染。我们观察到 FcRn（而非 DPP4）与 HAstV 病毒和纯化的尖峰蛋白直接结合。这表明 FcRn 是 HAstV 的受体，而 DPP4 是进入的辅助因子。目前临床上使用的 DPP4 和 FcRn 抑制剂可阻止 HAstV 在细胞系和人体肠道中的感染。我们的研究结果揭示了 HAstV 的进入机制以及限制 HAstV 感染的药物靶点。
