3-Deazaadenosine (3-DAA) accelerates Japanese encephalitis virus replication and down-regulates levels of inflammatory factors in mouse and hamster cells

Objective To investigate the effect of 3-deazaadenosine (3-DAA), an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification inhibitor, on the replication of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Methods Neuro2a mouse neuroblastoma cells, N9 mouse microglial cells, and BHK baby hamster kidney cells were exposed to JEV and then treated with 3-DAA. JEV was also injected into the footpad of adult C57BL/6 mice, which were then administered 3-DAA intraperitoneally. Real-time quantitative PCR was utilized to measure mRNA expression levels of JEV, interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase 1 (Arg1), interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) in the cells and mouse brain tissues. Western blot analysis was used to detect JEV protein expression in the cells and mouse brain tissues. Furthermore, the survival of the mice was monitored and pathological changes in mouse brains were observed via hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results 3-DAA had a dose-dependent effect on the replication of RNA and protein expression of JEV in both BHK, N9, Neuro 2α cells and mouse brain tissues, which resulted in rapid progression of JEV infection in mice and a decrease in their survival rate. Furthermore, 3-DAA suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-α, CXCL10, IL-1β and iNOS, thus weakening the immune response. Conclusion 3-DAA promotes JEV infection and hastens death of infected cells and mice, indicating that m6A modification may negatively regulate JEV replication.
