Efficacy of CMX001 as a prophylactic and presymptomatic antiviral agent in New Zealand white rabbits infected with Rabbitpox virus, a model for orthopoxvirus infections of humans.
Viruses, 2011Co-Authors: Amanda D. Rice, Scott Foster, Mathew M. Adams, Bernhard Lampert, Randall Lanier, Alice Robertson, George R. Painter, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:CMX001, a lipophilic nucleotide analog formed by covalently linking 3-(hexdecyloxy)propan-1-ol to cidofovir (CDV), is being developed as a treatment for smallpox. CMX001 has dramatically increased potency versus CDV against all dsDNA viruses and, in contrast to CDV, is orally available and has shown no evidence of nephrotoxicity in healthy volunteers or severely ill transplant patients to date. Although smallpox has been eliminated from the environment, treatments are urgently being sought due to the risk of smallpox being used as a bioterrorism agent and for monkeypox virus, a zoonotic disease of Africa, and adverse reactions to smallpox virus vaccinations. In the absence of human cases of smallpox, new treatments must be tested for efficacy in animal models. Here we first review and discuss the Rabbitpox virus (RPV) infection of New Zealand White rabbits as a model for smallpox to test the efficacy of CMX001 as a prophylactic and early disease antiviral. Our results should also be applicable to monkeypox virus infections and for treatment of adverse reactions to smallpox vaccination.

Efficacy of CMX001 as a Post Exposure Antiviral in New Zealand White Rabbits Infected with Rabbitpox Virus, a Model for Orthopoxvirus Infections of Humans
MDPI AG, 2011Co-Authors: Scott Foster, Richard W. Moyer, Daniele M. Swetnam, Brandi R. Manning, Stacey A. Gray, Bernhard Lampert, Randall Lanier, Alice Robertson, George Painter, Andrew J. SmithAbstract:CMX001, a lipophilic nucleotide analog formed by covalently linking 3-(hexdecyloxy)propan-1-ol to cidofovir (CDV), is being developed as a treatment for smallpox. In the absence of human cases of smallpox, new treatments must be tested for efficacy in animal models. Previously, we demonstrated the efficacy of CMX001 in protecting New Zealand White rabbits from mortality following intradermal infection with Rabbitpox virus as a model for smallpox, monkeypox and for treatment of adverse reactions to smallpox vaccination. Here we extend these studies by exploring different dosing regimens and performing randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled studies. In addition, because Rabbitpox virus can be transmitted via naturally generated aerosols (animal to animal transmission), we report on studies to test the efficacy of CMX001 in protecting rabbits from lethal Rabbitpox virus disease when infection occurs by animal to animal transmission. In all cases, CMX001 treatment was initiated at the onset of observable lesions in the ears to model the use of CMX001 as a treatment for symptomatic smallpox. The results demonstrate that CMX001 is an effective treatment for symptomatic Rabbitpox virus infection. The Rabbitpox model has key similarities to human smallpox including an incubation period, generalized systemic disease, the occurrence of lesions which may be used as a trigger for initiating therapy, and natural animal to animal spread, making it an appropriate model

Rabbitpox Virus and Vaccinia Virus Infection of Rabbits as a Model for Human Smallpox
Journal of Virology, 2007Co-Authors: Mathew M. Adams, Amanda D. Rice, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:The threat of smallpox release and use as a bioweapon has encouraged the search for new vaccines and antiviral drugs, as well as development of new small-animal models in which their efficacy can be determined. Here, we reinvestigate a rabbit model in which the intradermal infection of rabbits with very low doses of either Rabbitpox virus (RPV) or vaccinia virus Western Reserve (VV-WR) recapitulates many of the clinical features of human smallpox. Following intradermal inoculation with RPV, rabbits develop systemic disease characterized by extensive viremia, numerous secondary lesions on the skin and mucocutaneous tissues, severe respiratory disease, death by 9 days postinfection, and, importantly, natural aerosol transmission between animals. Contrary to previous reports, intradermal infection with VV-WR also resulted in a very similar lethal systemic disease in rabbits, again with natural aerosol transmission between animals. When sentinel and index animals were cohoused, transmission rates approached 100% with either virus, with sentinel animals exhibiting a similar, severe disease. Lower rates of transmission were observed when index and sentinel animals were housed in separate cages. Sentinel animals infected with RPV with one exception succumbed to the disease. However, the majority of VV-WR-infected sentinel animals, while becoming seriously ill, survived. Finally, we tested the efficacy of the drug 1-O-hexadecyloxypropyl-cidofovir in the RPV/rabbit model and found that an oral dose of 5 mg/kg twice a day for 5 days beginning 1 day before infection was able to completely protect rabbits from lethal disease.

Suppressors of a Host Range Mutation in the Rabbitpox Virus Serpin SPI-1 Map to Proteins Essential for Viral DNA Replication
Journal of virology, 2005Co-Authors: Benjamin G. Luttge, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:The orthopoxvirus serpin SPI-1 is an intracellular serine protease inhibitor that is active against cathepsin G in vitro. Rabbitpox virus (RPV) mutants with deletions of the SPI-1 gene grow on monkey kidney cells (CV-1) but do not plaque on normally permissive human lung carcinoma cells (A549). This reduced-host-range (hr) phenotype suggests that SPI-1 may interact with cellular and/or other viral proteins. We devised a genetic screen for suppressors of SPI-1 hr mutations by first introducing a mutation into SPI-1 (T309R) at residue P14 of the serpin reactive center loop. The SPI-1 T309R serpin is inactive as a protease inhibitor in vitro. Introduction of the mutation into RPV leads to the same restricted hr phenotype as deletion of the SPI-1 gene. Second-site suppressors were selected by restoration of growth of the RPV SPI-1 T309R hr mutant on A549 cells. Both intragenic and extragenic suppressors of the T309R mutation were identified. One novel intragenic suppressor mutation, T309C, restored protease inhibition by SPI-1 in vitro. Extragenic suppressor mutations were mapped by a new procedure utilizing overlapping PCR products encompassing the entire genome in conjunction with marker rescue. One suppressor mutation, which also rendered the virus temperature sensitive for growth, mapped to the DNA polymerase gene (E9L). Several other suppressors mapped to gene D5R, an NTPase required for DNA replication. These results unexpectedly suggest that the host range function of SPI-1 may be associated with viral DNA replication by an as yet unknown mechanism.

Microarray analysis of A549 cells infected with Rabbitpox virus (RPV): a comparison of wild-type RPV and RPV deleted for the host range gene, SPI-1.
Virology, 2003Co-Authors: Lauren M Brum, M. Cecilia Lopez, Juan C. Varela, Henry V. Baker, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:A documented consequence of poxvirus infections is global inhibition of host protein synthesis and reduction in mRNA levels. We examined this mRNA decrease by infecting A549 cells, derived from a human lung carcinoma, with Rabbitpox virus (RPV), or RPV deleted for the serine protease inhibitor SPI-1 (RPVΔSPI-1), which exhibits a growth defect on A549 cells. At various times postinfection, mRNA profiles were analyzed using Affymetrix U95AV2 microarrays. There was a decline in overall cellular mRNA levels beginning at 2.5 hpi, and by 5 hpi, mRNA levels were drastically reduced for the majority of genes. However, several mRNAs increased, including those of heat-shock genes. Finally, a comparison of host mRNA profiles of RPV- to RPVΔSPI-1-infected cells revealed subtle differences in mRNA levels at 5 and 12 hpi. In summary, while there was a global decrease of host mRNA levels, the induction of selected mRNAs may be required for a successful poxvirus infection.

The T1/35kDa family of poxvirus-secreted proteins bind chemokines and modulate leukocyte influx into virus-infected tissues.
Virology, 1997Co-Authors: Kathryn Graham, Joanne L. Macen, Ali Salem Lalani, Richard W. Moyer, Traci L. Ness, Ian Clark-lewis, Michele Barry, Alexandra Lucas, Grant McfaddenAbstract:Abstract Immunomodulatory proteins encoded by the larger DNA viruses interact with a wide spectrum of immune effector molecules that regulate the antiviral response in the infected host. Here we show that certain poxviruses, including myxoma virus, Shope fibroma virus, Rabbitpox virus, vaccinia virus (strain Lister), cowpox virus, and raccoonpox virus, express a new family of secreted proteins which interact with members of both the CC and CXC superfamilies of chemokines. However, swinepox virus and vaccinia virus (strain WR) do not express this activity. Using a recombinant poxviruses, the myxoma M-T1 and Rabbitpox virus 35kDa secreted proteins were identified as prototypic members of this family of chemokine binding proteins. Members of this T1/35kDa family of poxvirus-secreted proteins share multiple stretches of identical sequence motifs, including eight conserved cysteine residues, but are otherwise unrelated to any cellular genes in the database. The affinity of the CC chemokine RANTES interaction with M-T1 was assessed by Scatchard analysis and yielded a K d of approximately 73 n M. In rabbits infected with a mutant Rabbitpox virus, in which the 35kDa gene is deleted, there was an increased number of extravasating leukocytes in the deep dermis during the early phases of infection. These observations suggest that members of the T1/35kDa class of secreted viral proteins bind multiple members of the chemokine superfamily in vitro and modulate the influx of inflammatory cells into virus-infected tissues in vivo.

Differential inhibition of the Fas- and granule-mediated cytolysis pathways by the orthopoxvirus cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 and SPI-1 protein.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1996Co-Authors: Joanne L. Macen, Grant Mcfadden, Richard W. Moyer, M A Brooks, P C Turner, R S Garner, P Y Musy, R C BleackleyAbstract:Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are important effectors of antiviral immunity, and they induce target cell death either by secretion of cytoplasmic granules containing perforin and granzymes or by signaling through the Fas cell surface antigen. Although it is not known whether the granule-mediated and Fas-mediated cytolytic mechanisms share common components, proteinase activity has been implicated as an important feature of both pathways. The orthopoxviruses cowpox virus and Rabbitpox virus each encode three members of the serpin family of proteinase inhibitors, designated SPI-1, SPI-2, and SPI-3. Of these, SPI-2 (also referred to as cytokine response modifier A in cowpox virus) has been shown to inhibit the proteolytic activity of both members of the interleukin 1 beta converting enzyme family and granzyme B. We report here that cells infected with cowpox or Rabbitpox viruses exhibit resistance to cytolysis by either cytolytic mechanism. Whereas mutation of the cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 gene was necessary to relieve inhibition of Fasmediated cytolysis, in some cell types mutation of SPI-1, in addition to cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2, was necessary to completely abrogate inhibition. In contrast, viral inhibition of granule-mediated killing was unaffected by mutation of cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 alone, and it was relieved only when both the cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 and SPI-1 genes were inactivated. These results suggest that an interleukin 1 beta converting enzyme-like enzymatic activity is involved in both killing mechanisms and indicate that two viral proteins, SPI-1 and cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2, are necessary to inhibit both cytolysis pathways.

Species Specificity of Ectromelia Virus and Vaccinia Virus Interferon-γ Binding Proteins
Virology, 1995Co-Authors: Karen L. Mossman, Chris Upton, R.m.l. Buller, Grant McfaddenAbstract:Abstract Interferon-γ functions within the immune system as a potent anti-viral and immunoregulatory cytokine. In order to successfully replicate within a host cell, poxviruses have evolved a number of strategies to counteract the pleiotropic effects of interferon-γ. In particular, the leporipoxvirus myxoma virus was shown to express an extracellular soluble interferon-γ receptor homolog, denoted M-T7, which is capable of inhibiting the anti-viral activities of rabbit interferon-γ (C. Upton, K. Mossman, and G. McFadden, 1992, Science 258, 1369-1372). Here, we demonstrate that expression of soluble interferonγ receptor homologs appears to be characteristic of all poxviruses tested, including Shope fibroma virus, vaccinia virus (strains WR and IHDW), ectromelia virus, cowpox virus, and Rabbitpox virus. We have cloned, sequenced, and characterized the interferon-γ binding protein in supernatants from ectromelia virus-infected cells, and demonstrate the capability of this soluble protein to bind human, murine, and rabbit interferon-γ with similar affinity. We also investigate the properties of the vaccinia virus interferon-γ binding protein and demonstrate that this protein binds human and rabbit interferon-γ with similar affinity and binds murine interferon-γ with a significantly lower relative affinity. The implications of these studies with respect to viral pathogenesis and the evolutionary relationship between a virus and its host are discussed.

triad of human cellular proteins irf2 fam111a and rfc3 restrict replication of orthopoxvirus spi 1 host range mutants
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017Co-Authors: Debasis Panda, Daniel J Fernandez, Eugen Buehler, Bernard MossAbstract:Viruses and their hosts can reach balanced states of evolution ensuring mutual survival, which makes it difficult to appreciate the underlying dynamics. To uncover hidden interactions, virus mutants that have lost defense genes may be used. Deletion of the gene that encodes serine protease inhibitor 1 (SPI-1) of Rabbitpox virus and vaccinia virus, two closely related orthopoxviruses, prevents their efficient replication in human cells, whereas certain other mammalian cells remain fully permissive. Our high-throughput genome-wide siRNA screen identified host factors that prevent reproduction and spread of the mutant viruses in human cells. More than 20,000 genes were interrogated with individual siRNAs and those that prominently increased replication of the SPI-1 deletion mutant were subjected to a secondary screen. The top hits based on the combined data—replication factor C3 (RFC3), FAM111A, and interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2)—were confirmed by custom assays. The siRNAs to RFC1, RFC2, RFC4, and RFC5 mRNAs also enhanced spread of the mutant virus, strengthening the biological significance of the RFC complex as a host restriction factor for poxviruses. Whereas association with proliferating cell nuclear antigen and participation in processive genome replication are common features of FAM111A and RFC, IRF2 is a transcriptional regulator. Microarray analysis, quantitative RT-PCR, and immunoblotting revealed that IRF2 regulated the basal level expression of FAM111A, suggesting that the enhancing effect of depleting IRF2 on replication of the SPI-1 mutant was indirect. Thus, the viral SPI-1 protein and the host IRF2, FAM111A, and RFC complex likely form an interaction network that influences the ability of poxviruses to replicate in human cells.

Vaccinia Virus Serpin-1 Deletion Mutant Exhibits a Host Range Defect Characterized by Low Levels of Intermediate and Late mRNAs
Virology, 1999Co-Authors: Joanna L. Shisler, Stuart N. Isaacs, Bernard MossAbstract:Abstract Orthopoxviruses encode three serpin homologs—SPI-1, SPI-2 and SPI-3—of which SPI-2 has been well characterized as an inhibitor of ICE-like proteases. A Rabbitpox virus SPI-1 deletion mutant exhibited a host range restriction in human lung A549 and pig kidney 15 cell lines that was attributed to apoptosis. Here we report that replication of a vaccinia virus SPI-1 deletion mutant (ΔSPI-1) was restricted in primary human keratinocytes as well as A549 cells. Although chromatin condensation was detected in some A549 cells, other morphological or biochemical signs of apoptosis including DNA fragmentation, cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase or nuclear mitotic apparatus protein, or caspase 3 activation were not found. Moreover, ΔSPI-1 protected A549 cells from apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor, whereas the corresponding ΔSPI-2 mutant did not. Further studies indicated undiminished amounts of vaccinia virus early mRNA and replicated DNA in the absence of the SPI-1 product. However, there were reduced amounts of viral intermediate and late mRNAs, viral late proteins, cleaved core proteins, and virus particles. These data suggested that apoptosis is not the determining factor in the host range restriction of ΔSPI-1 and that the SPI-1 gene product is needed to allow efficient expression of intermediate and late genes in A549 cells.

The efficacy and pharmacokinetics of brincidofovir for the treatment of lethal Rabbitpox virus infection: a model of smallpox disease.
Antiviral Research, 2015Co-Authors: Lawrence C. Trost, Laurie Keilholz, Jody M. Khouri, Michelle L. Rose, James Long, Stephen J. Godin, Scott FosterAbstract:Brincidofovir (BCV) has broad-spectrum in vitro activity against dsDNA viruses, including smallpox, and is being developed as a treatment for smallpox as well as infections caused by other dsDNA viruses. BCV has previously been shown to be active in multiple animal models of smallpox. Here we present the results of a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of a novel, "humanized" regimen of BCV for treatment of New Zealand White rabbits infected with a highly lethal inoculum of Rabbitpox virus, a well characterized model of smallpox. Compared with placebo, a dose-dependent increase in survival was observed in all BCV-treatment groups. Concentrations of cidofovir diphosphate (CDV-PP), the active antiviral, in rabbit peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined for comparison to those produced in humans at the dose proposed for treatment of smallpox. CDV-PP exposure in PBMCs from rabbits given BCV scaled to human exposures at the dose proposed for treatment of smallpox, which is also currently under evaluation for other indications. The results of this study demonstrate the activity of BCV in the Rabbitpox model of smallpox and the feasibility of scaling doses efficacious in the model to a proposed human dose and regimen for treatment of smallpox.

Efficacy of CMX001 as a prophylactic and presymptomatic antiviral agent in New Zealand white rabbits infected with Rabbitpox virus, a model for orthopoxvirus infections of humans.
Viruses, 2011Co-Authors: Amanda D. Rice, Scott Foster, Mathew M. Adams, Bernhard Lampert, Randall Lanier, Alice Robertson, George R. Painter, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:CMX001, a lipophilic nucleotide analog formed by covalently linking 3-(hexdecyloxy)propan-1-ol to cidofovir (CDV), is being developed as a treatment for smallpox.

SPI-1-Dependent Host Range of Rabbitpox Virus and Complex Formation with Cathepsin G Is Associated with Serpin Motifs
Journal of virology, 1999Co-Authors: Kristin B. Moon, P C Turner, Richard W. MoyerAbstract:Serpins are a superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors which function to regulate a number of key biological processes including fibrinolysis, inflammation, and cell migration. Poxviruses are the only viruses known to encode functional serpins. While some poxvirus serpins regulate inflammation (myxoma virus SERP1 and cowpox virus [CPV] crmA/SPI-2) or apoptosis (myxoma virus SERP2 and CPV crmA/SPI-2), the function of other poxvirus serpins remains unknown. The Rabbitpox virus (RPV) SPI-1 protein is 47% identical to crmA and shares all of the serpin structural motifs. However, no serpin-like activity has been demonstrated for SPI-1 to date. Earlier we showed that RPV with the SPI-1 gene deleted, unlike wild-type virus, fails to grow on A549 or PK15 cells (A. Ali, P. C. Turner, M. A. Brooks, and R. W. Moyer, Virology 202:306–314, 1994). Here we demonstrate that in the absence of a functional SPI-1 protein, infected nonpermissive cells which exhibit the morphological features of apoptosis fail to activate terminal caspases or cleave the death substrates PARP or lamin A. We show that SPI-1 forms a stable complex in vitro with cathepsin G, a member of the chymotrypsin family of serine proteinases, consistent with serpin activity. SPI-1 reactive-site loop (RSL) mutations of the critical P1 and P14 residues abolish this activity. Viruses containing the SPI-1 RSL P1 or P14 mutations also fail to grow on A549 or PK15 cells. These results suggest that the full virus host range depends on the serpin activity of SPI-1 and that in restrictive cells SPI-1 inhibits a proteinase with chymotrypsin-like activity and may function to inhibit a caspase-independent pathway of apoptosis.

Differential inhibition of the Fas- and granule-mediated cytolysis pathways by the orthopoxvirus cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 and SPI-1 protein.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1996Co-Authors: Joanne L. Macen, Grant Mcfadden, Richard W. Moyer, M A Brooks, P C Turner, R S Garner, P Y Musy, R C BleackleyAbstract:Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are important effectors of antiviral immunity, and they induce target cell death either by secretion of cytoplasmic granules containing perforin and granzymes or by signaling through the Fas cell surface antigen.

The orthopoxviruses cowpox virus and Rabbitpox virus each encode three members of the serpin family of proteinase inhibitors, designated SPI-1, SPI-2, and SPI-3. Of these, SPI-2 (also referred to as cytokine response modifier A in cowpox virus) has been shown to inhibit the proteolytic activity of both members of the interleukin 1 beta converting enzyme family and granzyme B. We report here that cells infected with cowpox or Rabbitpox viruses exhibit resistance to cytolysis by either cytolytic mechanism. Whereas mutation of the cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 gene was necessary to relieve inhibition of Fasmediated cytolysis, in some cell types mutation of SPI-1, in addition to cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2, was necessary to completely abrogate inhibition. In contrast, viral inhibition of granule-mediated killing was unaffected by mutation of cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 alone, and it was relieved only when both the cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2 and SPI-1 genes were inactivated. These results suggest that an interleukin 1 beta converting enzyme-like enzymatic activity is involved in both killing mechanisms and indicate that two viral proteins, SPI-1 and cytokine response modifier A/SPI-2, are necessary to inhibit both cytolysis pathways.
