ABSTRACT: Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is the major causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Currently, there are no effective drugs for EV-A71 infection. Selenium (Se) is a vital nutritional trace element in human body and plays a certain protective role in viral infectious diseases. As a novel Se species, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with their small size and low side effects are attracting increasing attention because of their excellent bioavailability. In this study, SeNPs were synthesized, and their antiviral property was demonstrated in Vero cells. In brief, SeNPs have been demonstrated to inhibit the infection of EV-A71 by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide and cytopathic effect. The reduction of the nucleic acid levels of the virus suggested that SeNPs resisted the proliferation of the EV-A71 virus in Vero cells. In addition, SeNPs effectively reduced the activation of both caspase-8 and caspase-9 induced by the EV-A71 virus. Furthermore, SeNPs downregulated the phosphorylation of Jun amino terminal kinase and inhibited the apoptosis of Vero cells induced by EV-A71. In summary, SeNPs remarkably resisted EVA71 virus-induced apoptosis of Vero cells. Taken together, this study demonstrates that SeNPs are a novel promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of EV-A71 virus infection.



INTRODUCTION Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is a major causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which frequently infected infants and young children.1−3 Although the clinical manifestations are generally mild and self-limited, HFMD associated with EV-A71 infection can cause serious complications, such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, acute flaccid paralysis, brainstem encephalitis, and even death.4−8 Since its first isolation in California in 1969,9 outbreaks of HFMD associated with EV-A71 have been frequently reported worldwide in the past decades.10−12 Recently, several major outbreaks of HFMD have been reported in southeastern Asian countries and regions, for example, China,13−16 Malaysia,10 Singapore,17,18 and Korea.19 To date, there are no effective therapeutic drugs against EV-A71. Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus, which belongs to the Enterovirus genus of the family Picornaviridae.20,21 The genome of EV-A71 is about 7400 nucleotides and contains 5′ and 3′ nontranslated regions that are essential for viral RNA replication.22,23 The genome encodes a large precursor protein that is subsequently processed into four structural (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) and seven nonstructural (2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D) proteins.24 Being a close relative of poliovirus, EV-A71 infection may lead to severe neurological diseases and even fatalities.25 As a pathogenic mechanism of EV-A71, the apoptotic pathway may play vital roles in EV-A71 infection.26 Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) is potently activated by a © 2019 American Chemical Society

variety of environmental stresses including virus infection, and phosphorylation of JNK is a sign of apoptosis.27 Our previous research has demonstrated that JNK signaling pathways participated in the inhibition of cell apoptosis with Se@ ZNV.28 Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that exhibit important roles in the regulation process of activation of many intracellular proteins involved in apoptosis.29 According to the reports, the EV-A71 virus induces apoptosis of cells, and caspase family is involved in this process.30,31 Selenium (Se) is an important nutritional trace element and plays a crucial role in human health.32 Se takes the form of selenoproteins as a biological function and participates in various physiological functions, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination32 and specific enzyme modulation,33 and enhances human resistance to disease. The previous reported literature indicated that Se as an antiproliferative agent reduces the incidence of various types of cancers.34−37 Appropriate Se helps to maintain the activity of natural killer cells and facilitates the propagation of T cells, which is important for antiviral immunity.38 Research has shown that deficient in selenium could cause the genome mutation of some RNA virus, influenza virus A, and hepatitis B virus, which lead to multiple changes in the genetic structure related to viral virulence.32,39 In the present study, we investigate whether Received: December 13, 2018 Accepted: April 4, 2019 Published: April 12, 2019 6720

selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) can decrease the apoptosis of Vero cells induced by the EV-A71 virus. The results of this experiment will provide a basis for further study on the mechanism of the SeNP inhibition of EV-A71 infection in vitro.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Preparation and Characterization of SeNPs. In the present study, a simple method was used to synthesize functionalized SeNPs; several methods were used to characterize the product. The Tyndall effect in SeNPs is shown in Figure 1A, and the results indicated that SeNPs were synthesized. As shown in Figure 1B, the average size of SeNPs was about 100 nm. The morphology of SeNPs in the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image presented uniform spherical particles. As shown in Figure 1C, energydispersive X-ray (EDX) indicated the presence of the signal of Se and Cu that forms SeNPs and copper grids. To examine the effects of stability and surface properties of SeNPs, we detected the size distribution of SeNPs. As shown in Figure 1D, the average particle size of SeNPs was about 100 nm. Furthermore, Figure 1E shows that the size of SeNPs was stable for at least 16 days. Taken together, the small size of SeNPs contributed to the highly stable nanostructures and made it easy to enter into cells. Cell Viability with SeNPs. The cytotoxic effect of SeNPs on Vero cells was evaluated by the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. As shown in Figure 2A, Vero cells infected with the EV-A71 virus showed cell morphological changes, including cytoplasmic shrinkage, loss of cell-to-cell contact, and reduction in cell numbers. These virus-induced cytopathic effects (CPEs) were attenuated by treating with SeNPs. As shown in Figure 2B, the SeNPs slightly inhibited the growth of Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effects of the EV-A71 virus on Vero cells and the protective effects of SeNPs were also examined by the MTT assay. Vero cells treated with the EV-A71 virus showed a cell viability of 59%, as shown in Figure 2C. However, the cell viability was increased to 71% by SeNPs. The result suggests that SeNPs have an effective antivirus activity. The cell viability and images suggested that SeNPs effectively suppressed the EV-A71 virus proliferation.

cells was also measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR). As shown in Figure 3, the level of VP1 mRNA expression was reduced to 19% in the cells exposed to SeNPs. This result was proved that SeNPs exhibit the ability to suppress EV-A71VP1 at the mRNA levels, which may control the fate of Vero cells by the regulation of downstream effectors.

Bars with different characters are statistically different at the *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01 level.

Q-PCR data showed that SeNPs had the ability to suppress EV-A71 replication in Vero cells by SeNPs. Activation of JNK-Mediated Signaling Pathways by SeNPs. In this study, the expression of proteins in the JNK signaling pathway was detected by western blotting. As shown in Figure 4A,B, EV-A71 infection upregulates the expression of JNK and p-JNK. On the contrary, they were partly restrained when Vero cells were treated with SeNPs. The EV-A71 VP1 expression was also detected by western blotting. SeNPs decrease the level of EV-A71 VP1. The results indicated that SeNPs can suppress EV-A71-induced JNK upregulations. Inhibition of Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 by SeNPs. In order to confirm the apoptosis pathways, we also tested the activity of caspase-8 and caspase-9 which were central initiators and executioners of the apoptotic process. Briefly, Vero cells were treated with SeNPs after EV-A71 virus infection. Then the activity of caspase-8 and caspase-9 was determined using a detection kit. As shown in Figure 5A, the caspase-8 activity was as follows: control (100%), SeNPs (112%), EV-A71 (192%), and EV-A71 + SeNPs (130%). The caspase-8 activity of Vero cells infected by the EV-A71 virus reached to 192%. The caspase activity of SeNPs was 130% and is significantly lower

than that of EV-A71. As revealed in Figure 5B, the caspase-9 activity was as follows: control (100%), SeNPs (108%), EVA71 (151%), and EV-A71 + SeNPs (120%). The caspase-9 activity of Vero cells infected by the EV-A71 virus reached 151%, while the SeNP group decreased to 120%. As revealed in Figure 5C, the caspase-3 activity was as follows: control (100%), SeNPs (101%), EV-A71 (140%), and EV-A71 + SeNPs (119%). These results indicated that SeNPs inhibited the activity of the EV-A71 virus via inhibition of cell apoptosis mediated by caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3. Taken together, these results support that SeNPs suppressed the apoptosis of EV-A71-induced Vero cells by regulation of caspase and JNK signaling pathway (Figure 6).



CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, a simple chemical method for the preparation of SeNPs has been described in this study. SeNPs with lower toxicity exhibit greater ability to prevent the infection of EVA71. SeNPs inhibited the generation of ROS by EV-A71, and then the JNK signaling pathways are inhibited. The molecular mechanisms of the research indicated that SeNPs inhibit 6722

transmission electron microscope. The average size distribution of SeNPs was tested via a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS particle analyzer (Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, UK). Cell Culture and Virus Infection. Vero cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units/ mL penicillin, and 50 units/mL streptomycin in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37 °C. The 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) of the EV-A71 virus was calculated as previously described.41 Briefly, the Vero cells were seeded into 96-well plates at the density of 4 × 104 cells per well for 24 h. Thereafter, the cells were washed thrice with PBS and infected with EV-A71 for 2 h. After that, the supernatants were removed, and the cells were incubated with DMEM containing 2% FBS. The CPE of the Vero cells was observed via a microscope, and TCID50 was determined using the Reed−Muench method. EV-A71 used in the study was at a final titer of 100 TCID50/mL. Cell Viability with SeNPs. The cytotoxicity of SeNPs was evaluated using the MTT assay as previously reported.42 Briefly, Vero cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and incubated with the EV-A71 virus as mentioned above. Thereafter, the cells were incubated with SeNPs at a final concentration of 15.625 μM at 37 °C for 48 h. After treatment, 20 μL/well of MTT solution was added and incubated for 5 h at 37 °C. Then the culture medium was carefully removed, and 150 μL/well of dimethyl sulfoxide was added to dissolve the formazan dye. The optical density value was detected at 570 nm, and the cytotoxicity of SeNPs against Vero cells was measured. Viral Proliferation with SeNPs. To investigate the inhibition of SeNPs on viral replication in Vero cells, the expression of VP1 was quantitatively determined by the realtime Q-PCR. The primers used in the Q-PCR experiment were as follows: forward primer, 5′ CAAATGCGTAGAAAGGTGGAG 3′; reverse primer, 5′ GGAGCAACTGTGGGACAACT 3′ for VP1; forward primer, 5′ GACTTCGAGCAGGAGATGGG 3′; reverse primer, 5′ CGAGGAAGGAAGGCTGGAAG 3′ for β-actin. Western Blot Analysis. The effects of SeNPs on the expression levels of apoptotic proteins were detected by western blotting as previously reported.43 Briefly, Vero cells were treated with SeNPs for 24 h after EV-A71 infection. Then cells were collected and lysed with RIPA buffer. After that, the total proteins were obtained, and the concentrations were quantified by a BCA protein assay kit. Afterward, equal amount of protein was separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate− polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by transfer to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. After being blocked with 5% nonfat milk, the membranes were combined with specific primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody at 37 °C for 1 h. Protein bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit. Caspase Activity Assay. Caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3 activities were measured as previously described.29 Briefly, Vero cells infected with the EV-A71 virus were incubated with SeNPs, and the proteins of the cells were extracted as previously mentioned. Equal quality of proteins was mixed with specific caspase substrates in a 96-well plate at 37 °C for 2 h. Caspase activities were detected by fluorescence intensity with the excitation wavelength at 405 nm using a spectrophotometer.

caspase-8- and caspase-9-mediated apoptosis in EV-A71infected cells. In addition, we found that SeNPs inhibited the apoptosis of Vero cells induced by the EV-A71 virus through the JNK-mediated signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggest that SeNPs can effectively protect Vero cells from apoptosis caused by the infection of the EV-A71 virus and it is a prospect selenium species with antiviral properties.
