ATP-P2X7 signaling mediates brain pathology while contributing to viral control in perinatal Zika virus infection

Zika virus (ZIKV), the causative agent of Zika fever, is a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. Zika virus infection has become an international concern due to its association with severe neurological complications such as fetal microcephaly. Viral infection can induce the release of ATP in the extracellular environment, activating receptors sensitized by extracellular nucleotides, such as the P2X7 receptor. This receptor is the primary purinergic receptor involved in neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and immunity. In this work, we investigated the role of ATP-P2X7 receptor signaling in Zika-related brain abnormalities. Wild-type mice (WT) and P2X7 receptor-deficient (P2X7-/-) C57BL/6 newborn mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 5 × 106plaque-forming units of ZIKV or mock solution. P2X7 receptor expression increased in the brain of Zika virus-infected mice compared to the mock group. Comparative analyses of the hippocampi from WT and P2X7-/-mice revealed that the P2X7 receptor increased hippocampal damage in CA1/CA2 and CA3 regions. Doublecortin expression decreased significantly in the brains of ZIKV-infected mice. WT ZIKV-infected mice showed impaired motor performance compared to P2X7-/- infected mice. WT ZIKV-infected animals showed increased expression of glial markers GFAP (astrocytes) and IBA-1 (microglia) compared to P2X7-/- infected mice. Although the P2X7 receptor contributes to neuronal loss and neuroinflammation, WT mice were more efficient in controlling the viral load in the brain than P2X7 receptor-deficient mice. This result was associated with higher induction of TNF-α, IFN-β, and increased interferon-stimulated gene expression in WT mice than P2X7-/-ZIKV-infected. Finally, we found that the P2X7 receptor contributes to inhibiting the neuroprotective signaling pathway AKT/mTOR while stimulating the caspase-3 activation, possibly two distinct pathways contributing to neurodegeneration. These findings suggest that ATP-P2X7 receptor signaling contributes to the antiviral response in the brain of ZIKV-infected mice while increasing neuronal loss, neuroinflammation, and related brain abnormalities.
