Abstract
Chikungunya fever, caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), is an Aedes mosquito-borne disease present worldwide, and millions of CHIKV infections have been reported. Treatment for CHIKV includes supportive care and anti-inflammatory medications, but there are currently no antiviral treatments or vaccines. Nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2) of CHIKV is the most important functional protein mediating virus replication and amplification, making it an ideal antiviral target for CHIKV. In this study, we determined the CHIKV nsP2 Epitope Rich Region, expressed recombinant nsP2 protein, and isolated 5 nsP2-specific nanobodies (Nb-A2, Nb-A9, Nb-D7, Nb-D12 and Nb-E12) from a phage display library comprising variable domains of Camellidae heavy chain-only antibodies (VHH). We subsequently established a stable Nbs-expressing HEK293T cell line to explore antiviral function. The results showed that Nb-A9 inhibited CHIKV replication at the early stage of CHIKV infection in HEK293T cells, and protected cells against CHIKV-induced cytopathic effect (CPE). This is possibly the first report of an Nbs-based strategy against CHIKV nsP2, Nb-A9 has great potential for developing a novel antiviral drug to treat CHIKV infection. The acquisition of antibodies has laid a foundation for further research on the function of CHIKV nsP2 and the development of therapeutic drugs.
