Abstract Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has received global attention due to the series of large-scale outbreaks in different parts of the world including Africa, Indian Ocean Islands, India and South-East Asia. The appearance of many unusual severe manifestations including neurological disorders was reported in post resurgence epidemics with implication of novel East Central South African (ECSA) genotype with E1:A226V mutation. The molecular mechanism of CHIKV neuropathogenesis is not yet understood and very little is known about the host-pathogen interactions. In the present study replication kinetics and innate immune response of ECSA genotype of CHIKV with and without A226V mutation were determined in mouse neuroblastoma cell line (N2a). The 226V mutant strain was more replication competent in N2a cells with a peak titer of 10(8)PFU/ml compared to 10(6)PFU/ml for A226 virus. Besides, the 226V mutant virus showed relatively less induction of antiviral genes i.e. IFN-beta, OAS-3, MX-2, ISG-15 and Toll like receptors 3 and 7 as compared to non mutant strain (A226). Further pretreatment of N2a cells either with Poly I: C, IFN-beta or TNF-alpha resulted in inhibition of CHIKV replication hence confirming the role of TLR mediated innate immune response in CHIKV pathogenesis. Differential regulation of TLRs and associated down stream antiviral genes might have attributed for increased pathogenesis of the 226V mutant novel ECSA genotype of CHIKV during the recent epidemics.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
