  • The present study characterizes the recently circulating DENV-3 strain in the metropolitan city of Delhi during post monsoon period of 2013-14. Partial molecular characterization of 12 DENV3 isolates was carried out on the basis of envelope (E) and non-structural 1 (NS1) gene regions. Phylogenetic analysis showed all these 12 isolates grouped under lineage III of genotype III with recent isolates from China and Pakistan. The point mutation L430I in the Env region appears to be the unique molecular signature for the 2013 strains. Another unique substitution, I167V in NS1 protein was observed in a single isolate among those 12 samples. The study describing the molecular characterization could be significant if these unique substitutions cause the poor B cell responses.

    • Dear Editor,

      Dengue infection is one of the emerging concerns for public health on a global scale. Over the past few years, dengue transmission has increased in the Americas, the western Pacific and southeast Asia. The magnitude, distribution, and clinical severity of dengue outbreaks have been an alarming signal in the southeast Asia region. Major outbreaks have been reported in countries in this region, including in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and China(Koo et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2015). Recent reports have indicated an increasing trend in the number of cases in the People's Republic of China, Fiji, Malaysia, The Cook Islands, and Vanuatu, with DENV-3 affecting the Pacific Island countries after a lapse of nearly 10 years(WHO, 2015).

      In the past two decades, major dengue outbreaks have been reported in Delhi, the national capital of India. All four serotypes of DENV circulate in Delhi, but only three(DENV-1, 2, and 3)have been reported as the main etiological agent in different outbreaks(Dar et al., 1999; Kukreti et al., 2008; Singh et al., 2012). The recent outbreak of dengue in 2013 was predominantly caused by DENV-2; however, DENV-1 and DENV-3 were also reported in 19% and 8% of cases, respectively(Afreen et al., 2014). In 2012, a downward shift in pre-dominance of DENV-1 and an upward shift in dominance of DENV-2 and DENV-3 were recorded(Sharma et al., 2014). This shift probably resulted in the DENV-2 outbreak in 2013. The possibility of an outbreak predominated by DENV-3 cannot now be ruled out.

      The aim of the present study was to characterize the DENV-3 currently circulating in the capital. For this purpose, envelope(E) and non-structural 1(NS1)gene regions were sequenced and analyzed. Acute phase serum samples with confirmed DENV-3 serotype were included in the study. Samples from different geographical locations of Delhi were referred to the National Centre for Disease Control for diagnosis during the post-monsoon period of 2013 and 2014.

      Viral RNA was isolated from serum, using QIAmp Viral RNA Mini Kit(Qiagen, Hilden, Germany)following the manufacturer's protocol. The E gene of DENV-3 was amplified using the primers, P1259A and CDC2503B described by Chao et al.(Chao et al., 2005). The cDNA was synthesized by reverse primer(CDC2503B)using GoScriptTM Reverse Trancription System(Promega, Madison, USA). For cDNA amplification, GoTaq® Green Master Mix(Promega, USA)was applied, using 1 µL cDNA as a template. Initial denaturation was performed at 95 ℃ for 2 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation(95 ℃ for 30 s), annealing(54 ℃ for 50 s) and extension(72 ℃ for 1.5 min), with a final extension step at 72 ℃ for 10 min. The amplified PCR products(~1244bp)were visualized on 1% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide.

      For amplification of NS1 gene, a new set of primer(D3NS1F, nt 2407-2434, 5′-TGAATTCGACATGGGGTGTGTCATAAAC-3′; D3NS1R, nt 3456-3478, 5′-TGCGGCCGCCGCTGAGACTAAAG-3′)was designed using the software Gene Runner(version 3.05)according to the DENV-3 reference sequence(NC_0014 75.2). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was carried out in a 25 µL reaction volume using the QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR Kit(Qiagen). The thermal profile of RT-PCR was an RT step at 50 ℃ for 30 min, followed by the PCR step of initial denaturation at 95 ℃ for 15 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 ℃ for 50 s, annealing at 54 ℃ for 50 s, extension at 72 ℃ for 1 min and final extension at 72 ℃ for 10 min. Amplified PCR products(~1072 bp)were separated in 1% agarose gel and visualized with ethidium bromide.

      The PCR products of the amplified gene fragments were purified by using the QIAquick PCR purification kit(Qiagen). For sequencing, the BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Kit(version 3.1; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA)was used, with an ABI 3130xl Genetic Analyzer(Applied Biosystems). Retrieved sequences were submitted to GenBank(http://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/) and accession numbers were acquired(Table 1). A BLAST search(http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Blast.cgi)was carried out to confirm the identity of the strains. For sequence comparison with previously reported Indian and other geographically diverse DENV-3 isolates(Supplementary Table S1), multiple sequence alignment was performed using the Clustal W multiple alignment tool available in BioEdit(version 7.0.5.3). To represent the three-dimensional structure of the proteins, Cn3D(version 4.3.1)was used(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/CN3D/cn3d.shtml). Phylogenetic analysis was performed using MEGA(version 5.0). A Tamura Nei model of nucleotide substitution with a gamma distribution of between-site rate variation was employed to construct the neighbor-joining tree with 1000 bootstrap replicates. To calculate nucleotide diversity per site(Pi), Tajima's D-test statistics, and nucleotide-based statistics(Ks, Kst, Ks*, Kst*, Z, Z* and Snn), we used DnaSP(version 5.10). F statistics(Fst) and the N statistics(Nst)were also calculated by DnaSP(version 5.10)to estimate diversity and gene flow(Nm)among the phylogenetic lineages.

      Table 1.  Details of DENV-3 isolates from India sequenced in the study.

      In our study, total 12 samples(eight from 2013 and four from 2014)were sequenced for both the E and NS1 gene regions. The 981 bp(from nucleotides 1418-2398)gene region of E was selected for multiple sequence alignment. All the 12 isolates sequenced revealed 0.00423 nucleotide diversity per site(Pi). These isolates showed sequence identity of 98.36%-99.67% with other Indian isolates. Sequence comparison with the prototype strain H87(M93130)revealed a few amino acid substitutions, which were also present in other previously reported Indian isolates(Supplementary Figure S1). In the phylogenetic analysis, all Indian and global isolates could be classified as five different genotypes of DENV-3(Figure 1A). The analysis revealed clustering of all Indian isolates within the same group(genotype Ⅲ)with recent isolates from China(GU363549, KF954945-KF954948) and Pakistan(KF041256, KF041258 and KF041259). Extensive analysis of the phylogenetic tree revealed the presence of the five lineages of genotype Ⅲ. Lineage Ⅰ isolates formed a separate clade in closeness to lineage Ⅱ, and was represented by the isolates from the Americas, including Brazil, Saint Lucia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Martinique. Lineage Ⅱ was represented by the isolates from Sri Lanka(GQ252674 and FJ882571) and Mozambique(FJ882575), and was found in close proximity to lineage Ⅲ. All the Indian isolates were categorized under lineage Ⅲ. Isolates from Sri Lanka, China's Taiwan, and Singapore clustered as lineage Ⅳ, while lineage Ⅴ was formed only by the three older isolates from Sri Lanka(FJ882572, FJ882574, and GQ199889). The nucleotide diversity per site(Pi)in all genotype Ⅲ sequences was recorded as 0.02345. Genetic differentiation between the five lineages was analyzed by Ks = 9.80970, Kst = 0.57351, Ks* = 2.22754, Kst* = 0.25983, Z = 428.15909, Z* = 5.73874, and Snn = 1.0. The statistical significance of nucleotide-based statistics was tested by the permutation test with 1000 replication value(P < 0.001). Nst and Fst recorded for the lineages were 0.67884 and 0.67537; χ2 = 284, P = 0.0013. Estimated gene flow(Nm)was 0.12. Tajima's D value(-1.02015, P > 0.10)showed a neutral evolutionary trend for all the DENV-3 isolates.

Each sequence is denoted by serotype and country of origin, followed by the last two digits of year of isolation and the GenBank accession number. Isolates sequenced in the study are shown in bold (symbol with ●). (C) 3D representation using Cn3D.

      The phylogenetic analysis based on the 823 bp gene region(nucleotides 2498-3320)of NS1 also revealed a similar segregation of sequences, as shown by the tree based on the E gene region(Figure 1B). A few sequences were removed from the analysis because of unavailability of sequence for the NS1 gene region. All sequenced isolates had sequence identity of 96.35%-100% to other Indian isolates from previous years. Recent isolates from China(KF954945-KF954948)also showed close identity(99.02%-99.63%)to these isolates. Sequence identity of 99.27%-99.78% to Pakistan isolates(KF041256, KF041258, and KF041259)was observed. The nucleotide diversity per site(Pi)for all sequences isolated was found to be 0.00171. Genetic differentiation between the five lineages for the NS1 gene region was analyzed by Ks = 8.47947, Kst = 0.61084, Ks* = 1.97655, and Kst = 0.32173 and Snn = 1.0. In permutation testing with 1000 replication values, P < 0.001 showed statistical significance of nucleotide-based statistics. Nst and Fst for the lineages were recorded as 0.68635 and 0.68296, respectively(χ2 = 260, P = 0.0004). Gene flow(Nm)was estimated as 0.12. Tajima's D test, applied to all the DENV-3 sequences for the NS1 gene region, showed a neutral evolutionary trend(Tajima's D value = -1.18983, P > 0.10).

      All the 12 isolates sequenced clustered within lineage Ⅲ of genotype Ⅲ. This lineage was formed by recent strains prevalent in India, China, and Pakistan. The presence of different lineages has been explained in an earlier study on the basis of the complete nucleotide sequence of the DENV-3 genome.(Sharma et al., 2011). The nucleotide-based statistics, F statistics, N statistics, and gene flow analysis for both the E and NS1 gene regions advocated genetic differentiation between the phylogenetic lineages. Sequence comparison with prototype strain H87 revealed the presence of a few amino acid substitutions that were also present in other Indian isolates.

      A unique amino acid substitution(L430I)in the E protein was observed in 83.33%(10/12)isolates(Supplementary Figure 1). This substitution falls within the α helix of the stem region(Figure 1C-1). The substitution at this site has also been reported in an earlier isolate from Samoa in 1986(L11435)(Lanciotti et al., 1994). This site is located within the stem–anchor region adjacent to the putative receptor-binding domain(domain Ⅲ)in E protein. The stem and anchor regions are both predicted to have two α-helices each. Secondary structure prediction of the stem region has suggested that the two consecutive, mostly amphipathic, α-helices are half-buried in the outer lipid leaflet of the viral membrane(Zhang et al., 2003). Their interactions with the lipid phosphate groups are probably affected by the pH changes, contributing to the forces that cause conformational rearrangements during the time of fusion(Zhang et al., 2003). The substitution L430I is present in the α-helix in the stem region. The presence of a neutral, non-polar, amino acid residue at this site may be essential for such conformational rearrangements. The E protein is a major antigenic determinant. The substitution L430I lies in the MHC complex(epitope I.D 59137)(http://www.iedb.org/refId/1000409) and may have an important role in the host immune response.

      Another unique substitution, I167V, in the NS1 protein was observed in a single isolate(KT250588). The substitution lies in the connector subdomain of NS1(Figure 1C-2), which links the "wing" domain to the central β-sheet through a disulfide linkage(Akey et al., 2014). The NS1 protein is a protective antigen, and is known to play an important role in viral RNA replication. It has also been suggested to play a role in structural support for providing stability for replication complex(Muller and Young, 2013). Both isoleucine and valine are hydrophobic in nature and prefer to be buried in the hydrophobic cores of protein(Barnes, 2007). It is possible that hydrophobicity at this site is necessary for the structural support and functionality of NS1. However, to confirm this, additional studies are required.

      Further analysis also revealed the close identity of the sequenced Delhi isolates to recent isolates(KF954945– KF954948)from China, which is an alarming signal for public health, as this strain has been associated with a dengue outbreak in China(Wang et al., 2015). To prevent the occurrence of such outbreaks and to observe the unique variations accumulating in virus, it is essential to continually monitor the spread of DENV-3 and characterize it at the genomic level.
