Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is a representative member of the New
World alphaviruses. It is transmitted by mosquito vectors and causes highly
debilitating disease in humans, equids, and other vertebrate hosts. Despite a
continuous public health threat, very few compounds with anti-VEEV activity in
cell culture and in mouse models have been identified to date, and rapid
development of virus resistance to some of them has been recorded. In this study,
we investigated the possibility of using a modified nucleoside analog,
?-d-N(4)-hydroxycytidine (NHC), as an anti-VEEV agent and defined the mechanism
of its anti-VEEV activity. The results demonstrate that NHC is a very potent
antiviral agent. It affects both the release of genome RNA-containing VEE virions
and their infectivity. Both of these antiviral activities are determined by the
NHC-induced accumulation of mutations in virus-specific RNAs. The antiviral
effect is most prominent when NHC is applied early in the infectious process,
during the amplification of negative- and positive-strand RNAs in infected cells.
Most importantly, only a low-level resistance of VEEV to NHC can be developed,
and it requires acquisition and cooperative function of more than one mutation in
nsP4. These adaptive mutations are closely located in the same segment of nsP4.
Our data suggest that NHC is more potent than ribavirin as an anti-VEEV agent and
likely can be used to treat other alphavirus infections.IMPORTANCE Venezuelan
equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) can cause widespread epidemics among humans and
domestic animals. VEEV infections result in severe meningoencephalitis and
long-term sequelae. No approved therapeutics exist for treatment of VEEV
infections. Our study demonstrates that ?-d-N(4)-hydroxycytidine (NHC) is a very
potent anti-VEEV compound, with the 50% effective concentration being below 1 ?M.
The mechanism of NHC antiviral activity is based on induction of high mutation
rates in the viral genome. Accordingly, NHC treatment affects both the rates of
particle release and the particle infectivity. Most importantly, in contrast to
most of the anti-alphavirus drugs that are under development, resistance of VEEV
to NHC develops very inefficiently. Even low levels of resistance require
acquisition of multiple mutations in the gene of the VEEV-specific RNA-dependent
RNA polymerase nsP4.
