Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor characterized by a highly heterogeneous and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). The symbiotic interactions between glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in the TME are critical for tumor progression. Here, we identified that IFI35, a transcriptional regulatory factor, plays both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic roles in maintaining GSCs and the immunosuppressive TME. IFI35 induced non-canonical NF-kB signaling through proteasomal processing of p105 to the DNA-binding transcription factor p50, which heterodimerizes with RELB (RELB/p50), and activated cell chemotaxis in a cell-autonomous manner. Further, IFI35 induced recruitment and maintenance of M2-like TAMs in TME in a paracrine manner. Targeting IFI35 effectively suppressed in vivo tumor growth and prolonged survival of orthotopic xenograft-bearing mice. Collectively, these findings reveal the tumor-promoting functions of IFI35 and suggest that targeting IFI35 or its downstream effectors may provide effective approaches to improve GBM treatment.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 130:104354. [PMID: 35051525 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2022.104354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 01/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
N-myc-interactor (Nmi) belongs to interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs) and is involved in the regulation of physiological processes including viral infection, inflammatory response, apoptosis and tumorigenesis in mammals. However, the function of Nmi in teleost fish remains to be explored. In this study, an Nmi homologue was characterized from mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi. The mandarin fish Nmi shares two conserved functional Nmi/IFP35 homology domains (NIDs) with mammalian Nmi protein in its C-terminal domain and a coiled coil region (CC) in its N-terminal domain, with its genomic DNA sequence consisting of nine exons and eight introns. Subcellular localization analysis shows that mandarin fish Nmi is a cytoplasmic protein and that its localization is dependent on the CC and NID1 regions. High and constitutive mRNA level of Nmi was observed in all examined tissues, with the highest level being observed in blood. In addition, the Nmi gene was significantly induced in various organs/tissues following the infection of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), and its mRNA and protein level was also significantly induced in vitro after the treatment of IFNh, IFNc, as well as IFN-γ. The dual luciferase activity analysis indicated that the Nmi promoter was activated by the three type I IFNs through interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) sites, and it can be also transcriptionally activated by IFN-γ via IRF1 which can activate the expression of Nmi through ISRE. Taken together, it is demonstrated in this study that the transcription of Nmi in mandarin fish can be regulated by type I and type II IFNs, thus confirming that Nmi in fish is also an ISG, and is involved in antiviral and IFN-induced innate immunity.

Abstract
Interferon-induced protein-35 kDa (IFI35) was an antiviral protein induced by interferon (IFN)-γ, which plays an important role in the IFN-mediated
antiviral signaling pathway. Here, we cloned and identified IFI35 in the chicken for the first time. Chicken IFI35 (chIFI35) contains an
open reading frame (ORF) of 1,152 bp encoding a protein of 384 amino acids containing two conserved Nmi/IFI35 domain (NID) motifs. Tissue distribution
analysis of chIFI35 in healthy and Newcastle disease (ND) virus-infected chickens indicated a positive correlation between chIFI35 mRNA transcription and ND
viral loads in various tissues. The role of chIFI35 in regulation NDV replication were further assessed by up- or down-regulated chIFI35 expression in DF-1
cells transfected with plasmid harboring chIFI35, pCMV-3HA-chIFI35 or shRNA targeting chIFI35, pshRNA-chIFI35 plasmids.
NDV replications in DF-1 cells were significantly reduced or slightly increased by over- or under-expression of the chIFI35 protein, respectively, indicating the role of
chIFI35 in anti-NDV infection. Moreover, chIFI35 also involved in regulation of viral gene transcription and IFNs expression. The collected data were
meaningful for research of chicken antiviral immunity and shed light on the pleiotropic antiviral effect of chIFI35 during NDV infection.

IFP35 Is a Relevant Factor in Innate Immunity, Multiple Sclerosis, and Other Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: A Review. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10121325.

Abstract
Simple Summary In this review, we focused on the emerging role of IFP35, a highly conserved leucine zipper protein from fish to humans, with a still unknown biological function. The considered literature indicates this protein as a key-pleiotropic factor reflecting JAK-STAT and DAMPs pathways activation in innate immunity-dependent inflammation, as well as in the physiology and general pathology of a wide range of phylogenetically distant organisms. These findings also indicate IFP35 as a biologically relevant molecule in human demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, including Multiple Sclerosis, and other organ-specific chronic inflammatory disorders. Abstract Discovered in 1993 by Bange et al., the 35-kDa interferon-induced protein (IFP35) is a highly conserved cytosolic interferon-induced leucine zipper protein with a 17q12-21 coding gene and unknown function. Belonging to interferon stimulated genes (ISG), the IFP35 reflects the type I interferon (IFN) activity induced through the JAK-STAT phosphorylation, and it can homodimerize with N-myc-interactor (NMI) and basic leucine zipper transcription factor (BATF), resulting in nuclear translocation and a functional expression. Casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1), retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), and laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 Epinephelus coioides (EcLGP2) are thought to regulate IFP35, via the innate immunity pathway. Several in vitro and in vivo studies on fish and mammals have confirmed the IFP35 as an ISG factor with antiviral and antiproliferative functions. However, in a mice model of sepsis, IFP35 was found working as a damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule, which enhances inflammation by acting in the innate immune-mediated way. In human pathology, the IFP35 expression level predicts disease outcome and response to therapy in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), reflecting IFN activity. Specifically, IFP35 was upregulated in Lupus Nephritis (LN), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and untreated MS. However, it normalized in the MS patients undergoing therapy. The considered data indicate IFP35 as a pleiotropic factor, suggesting it as biologically relevant in the innate immunity, general pathology, and human demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Background Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF1) affects the proliferation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Recombinant interferon inducible protein 35 (IFI35) participates in immune regulation and cell proliferation. The aim of the study was to examine whether IRF1 affects the radiation sensitivity of CRC by regulating IFI35. Methods CCL244 and SW480 cells were divided into five groups: blank control, IFI35 upregulation, IFI35 upregulation control, IFI35 downregulation, and IFI35 downregulation control. All groups were treated with X-rays (6 Gy). IFI35 activation by IRF1 was detected by luciferase reporter assay. The GEPIA database was used to examine IRF1 and IFI35 in CRC. The cells were characterized using CCK-8, EdU, cell cycle, clone formation, flow cytometry, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential. Nude mouse animal models were used to detect the effect of IFI35 on CRC. Results IRF1 can bind to the IFI35 promoter and promote the expression of IFI35. The expression consistency of IRF1 and IFI35 in CRC, according to GEPIA (R = 0.68, p < 0.0001). After irradiation, the upregulation of IFI35 inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation and promoted apoptosis and ROS, while IFI35 downregulation promoted proliferation and colony formation and reduced apoptosis, ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential were also reduced. The in vivo experiments supported the in vitro ones, with smaller tumors and fewer liver metastases with IFI35 upregulation. Conclusions IRF1 can promote IFI35 expression in CRC cells. IFI35 is involved in the regulation of radiosensitivity of CRC cells and might be a target for CRC radiosensitization.

Abstract
Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) create multiple lines of defense against viral infection. Here we show that interferon induced protein 35 (IFI35) inhibits swine (H3N2) influenza virus replication by directly interacting with the viral protein NS1. IFI35 binds more preferentially to the effector domain of NS1 (128-207aa) than to the viral RNA sensor RIG-I. This promotes mutual antagonism between IFI35 and NS1, and frees RIG-I from IFI35-mediated K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation. However, IFI35 does not interact with the NS1 encoded by avian (H7N9) influenza virus, resulting in IFI35 playing an opposite virus enabling role during highly pathogenic H7N9 virus infection. Notably, replacing the 128-207aa region of NS1-H7N9 with the corresponding region of NS1-H3N2 results in the chimeric NS1 acquiring the ability to bind to and mutually antagonize IFI35. IFI35 deficient mice accordingly exhibit more resistance to lethal H7N9 infection than their wild-type control exhibit. Our data uncover a novel mechanism by which IFI35 regulates RIG-I-mediated anti-viral immunity through mutual antagonism with influenza protein NS1.IMPORTANCEIAV infection poses a global health threat, and is among the most common contagious pathogens to cause severe respiratory infections in humans and animals. ISGs play a key role in host defense against IAV infection. In line with others, we show IFI35-mediated ubiquitination of RIG-I to be involved in innate immunity. Moreover, we define a novel role of IFI35 in regulating the type I IFN pathway during IAV infection. We found that IFI35 regulates RIG-I mediated antiviral signaling by interacting with IAV-NS1. H3N2 NS1, but notably not H7N9 NS1, interacts with IFI35 and efficiently suppresses IFI35-dependent ubiquitination of RIG-I. IFI35 deficiency protected mice from H7N9 virus infection. Therefore, manipulation of the IFI35-NS1 provides a new approach for the development of anti-IAV treatments.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) exert multiple functions in immune system, and IFN-induced protein 35 (IFP35), which is a member of ISG, has been suggested to be involved in numerous cellular activities including the regulation of antiviral immunity in mammals. However, the role of IFP35 in fish innate immunity remains largely unknown. In the present study, we characterized the IFP35 gene in mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi, which contains two conserved Nmi/IFP35 homology domains (NIDs) at C-terminus, but no leucine zipper motif, with its genomic DNA sequence consisting of eight exons and seven introns. High and constitutive mRNA level of IFP35 was observed in all examined tissues, with the highest level being observed in gills. Moreover, the IFP35 gene was significantly induced in vivo for 120 h following the infection of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), and its mRNA and protein level was also significantly induced in vitro following the treatment of poly I:C, IFNh, IFNc, as well as IFN-γ. The subcellular localization results indicated that exogenous IFP35 protein was mainly located in cytoplasm, while endogenous IFP35 protein was transferred into, or aggregated around, the nucleus with the induction of poly I:C or IFNs. The dual luciferase activity analysis indicated that the IFP35 promoter was activated by type I and type II IFNs through ISRE site. It is considered that IFP35 in fish is involved in antiviral, as well as in IFN-induced innate immunity.

Abstract
The casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1, also known as PLEKHO1) is initially identified as a specific CK2α subunit-interacting protein. Subsequently, various proteins, including CPα, PAK1, Arp2/3, HDAC1, c-Jun, ATM, Smurf1, Rpt6, Akt, IFP35, TRAF6, REGγ and CARMA1, were reported to interact with CKIP-1. Owing to the great diversity of interacted proteins, CKIP-1 exhibits multiple biologic functions in cell morphology, cell differentiation and cell apoptosis. Besides, these functions are subcellular localization, cell type, and regulatory signaling dependent. CKIP-1 is involved in biological processes consisting of bone formation, tumorigenesis and immune regulation. Importantly, deregulation of CKIP-1 results in osteoporosis, tumor, and atherosclerosis. In this review, we introduce the molecular functions, biological processes and promising of therapeutic strategies. Through summarizing the intrinsic mechanisms, we expect to open new therapeutic avenues for CKIP-1.

Abstract
AIM Casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is a recently discovered intracellular regulator of bone formation, muscle cell differentiation, and tumor cell proliferation. Our study aims to identify the inhibition of BMP2-Smad1/5 signaling by CKIP-1 in odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS DPSCs infected CKIP-1 siRNA or transfected CKIP-1 full-length plasmid were cultured in odontoblastic differentiation medium or added noggin (200 ng/mL) for 21 days. We examined the effects of CKIP-1 on odontoblastic differentiation, mineralized nodules formation, and interaction by western blot, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red S staining, and immunoprecipitation. RESULTS Firstly, we have demonstrated that CKIP-1 expression markedly decreased time-dependently along with cell odontoblastic differentiation. Indeed, the silence of CKIP-1 upregulated odontoblastic differentiation via BMP2-Smad1/5 signaling, while CKIP-1 over-expression had a negative effect on odontoblastic differentiation of DPSCs. Furthermore, CKIP-1 could interact with Neuropilin-1 (NRP1). CONCLUSIONS This work provides data that advocates a novel perception on odontoblastic differentiation of DPSCs. Therefore, inhibiting the expression of CKIP-1 may be of great significance to the development of dental caries.

Osteoblastic PLEKHO1 contributes to joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. EBioMedicine 2019; 41:538-555.

Abstract
Background Osteoblasts participating in the inflammation regulation gradually obtain concerns. However, its role in joint inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of osteoblastic pleckstrin homology domain-containing family O member 1 (PLEKHO1), a negative regulator of osteogenic lineage activity, in regulating joint inflammation in RA. Methods The level of osteoblastic PLEKHO1 in RA patients and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice was examined. The role of osteoblastic PLEKHO1 in joint inflammation was evaluated by a CIA model and a K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis (STA) model which were induced in osteoblast-specific Plekho1 conditional knockout mice and mice expressing high Plekho1 exclusively in osteoblasts, respectively. The effect of osteoblastic PLEKHO1 inhibition was explored in a CIA mice model and a non-human primate arthritis model. The mechanism of osteoblastic PLEKHO1 in regulating joint inflammation were performed by a series of in vitro studies. Results PLEKHO1 was highly expressed in osteoblasts from RA patients and CIA mice. Osteoblastic Plekho1 deletion ameliorated joint inflammation, whereas overexpressing Plekho1 only within osteoblasts exacerbated local inflammation in CIA mice and STA mice. PLEKHO1 was required for TRAF2-mediated RIP1 ubiquitination to activate NF-κB for inducing inflammatory cytokines production in osteoblasts. Moreover, osteoblastic PLEKHO1 inhibition diminished joint inflammation and promoted bone formation in CIA mice and non-human primate arthritis model. Conclusions These data strongly suggest that the highly expressed PLEKHO1 in osteoblasts contributes to joint inflammation in RA. Targeting osteoblastic PLEKHO1 may exert dual therapeutic action of alleviating joint inflammation and promoting bone formation in RA.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory cytokinemia is a hallmark of highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus (IAV) disease yet little is known about the role of host proteins in modulating a pathogenic innate immune response. The host Interferon Induced Protein 35 (Ifi35) has been implicated in increased susceptibility to H5N1-IAV infection. Here, we show that Ifi35 deficiency leads to reduced morbidity in mouse models of highly pathogenic H5N1- and pandemic H1N1-IAV infection. Reduced weight loss in Ifi35-/- mice following H5N1-IAV challenge was associated with reduced cellular infiltration and decreased production of specific cytokines and chemokines including IL-12p40. Expression of Ifi35 by the hematopoietic cell compartment in bone-marrow chimeric mice contributed to increased immune cell recruitment and IL-12p40 production. In addition, Ifi35 deficient primary macrophages produce less IL-12p40 following TLR-3, TLR-4, and TLR-7 stimulation in vitro. Decreased levels of IL-12p40 and its homodimer, IL-12p80, were found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of H5N1-IAV infected Ifi35 deficient mice. Specific antibody blockade of IL-12p80 ameliorated weight loss and reduced cellular infiltration following H5N1-IAV infection in wild-type mice; suggesting that increased levels of IL-12p80 alters the immune response to promote inflammation and IAV disease. These data establish a role for Ifi35 in modulating cytokine production and exacerbating inflammation during IAV infection. Highly pathogenic influenza A viruses (IAV) are an important human pathogen that cause high mortality and can acquire the ability to cause pandemics. Following highly pathogenic H5N1-IAV infection, exaggerated inflammatory responses are detrimental to the host and lead to more disease; tipping the balance between protection and pathology. Understanding the role of host genes that enhance inflammation will lead to the identification of therapeutic targets and treatments to help lessen severe disease. Here, we report that the deletion of an interferon induced gene, Ifi35 (interferon induced protein 35), in mice protects the host from severe morbidity following H5N1 infection. Ifi35 enhances inflammation following H5N1 infection by increasing pro-inflammatory cytokine production; notably, the cytokine IL-12p40 and its homodimer, IL-12p80. Blocking IL-12p80 in mice led to reduced weight loss following H5N1 infection. Thus, our results provide insights into the development of therapeutic agents against host factors, Ifi35 and IL-12p80, to help control inflammation and inflammatory disease states.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, which results in increased bone fragility and fracture risk. Casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is a protein that plays an important role in regulation of bone formation. The effect of CKIP-1 on bone formation is mainly mediated through negative regulation of the bone morphogenetic protein pathway. In addition, CKIP-1 has an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. This review provides a summary of the recent studies on the role of CKIP-1 in osteoporosis development and treatment.

A novel role of CKIP-1 in promoting megakaryocytic differentiation. Oncotarget 2018; 8:30138-30150.

Abstract
Casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is a known regulator of cardiomyocytes and macrophage proliferation. In this study, we showed that CKIP-1 was involved in the process of megakaryocytic differentiation. During megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells, CKIP-1 was dramatically upregulated and this upregulation induced by PMA was mediated through downregulation of transcription factor GATA-1. By transient transfection, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we identified the transcriptional regulation of CKIP-1 by GATA-1. Overexpression of CKIP-1 initiated events of spontaneous megakaryocytic differentiation in K562 cells. Conversely, knockdown of CKIP-1 in cell lines suppressed megakaryocytic differentiation. Mechanistically, overexpression of CKIP-1 changed the expression levels of transcription factors that have been shown to be critical in erythro-megakaryocytic differentiation such as Fli-1, c-Myb and c-Myc. In vivo analysis confirmed that CKIP-1−/− mice had decreased number of CD41+ cells harvested from bone marrow, and lower platelet levels when compared to wild-type littermates. This is the first direct evidence suggesting that CKIP-1 is a novel regulator of megakaryocytic differentiation.

Abstract
N-Myc interactor (Nmi) is reported to participate in many activities, such as signaling transduction, transcription regulation, and antiviral responses. As Nmi may play important roles in interferon (IFN)-induced responses, we investigated the mechanism how Nmi protein is regulated. We identified and cloned the promoter of Nmi gene. Sequence analysis and luciferase assays shown that an IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) and a GC box in the promoter were essential for the basal transcription activity of Nmi gene. We also found that interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) could activate transcription of Nmi by binding to the ISRE in the promoter. Knockdown of IRF-1 decreases IFN-induced Nmi transcription. These results revealed that IRF-1 is involved in the IFN-inducible expression of Nmi.

Abstract
Our previous study indicated that Casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) could promote the activation of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/ antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway, playing a significant role in inhibiting the fibrosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Polydatin (PD) has been shown to possess strong resistance effects on renal fibrosis which is closely related to activating the Nrf2/ARE pathway, too. Whereas, whether PD could resist DN through regulating CKIP-1 and consequently promoting the activation of Nrf2-ARE pathway needs further investigation. Here, we found that PD significantly reversed the down-regulation of CKIP-1 and attenuated fibronectin (FN) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) exposed to high glucose (HG). Moreover, PD could decrease Keap1 expression and promote the nuclear content, ARE-binding ability, and transcriptional activity of Nrf2. The activation of Nrf2-ARE pathway by PD eventually led to the quenching of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide overproduction boosted by HG. Depletion of CKIP-1 blocked the Nrf2-ARE pathway activation and reversed FN and ICAM-1 down-regulation induced by PD in GMCs challenged with HG. PD increased CKIP-1 and Nrf2 levels in the kidney tissues as well as improved the anti-oxidative effect and renal dysfunction of diabetic mice, which eventually reversed the up-regulation of FN and ICAM-1. Experiments above suggested that PD could increase the CKIP-1-Nrf2-ARE pathway activation to prevent the OSS-induced insult in GMCs and diabetic mice which effectively postpone the diabetic renal fibrosis and the up-regulation of CKIP-1 is probably a novel mechanism in this process.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) and IFN-inducible proteins play numerous physiological roles, particularly in antiviral defense mechanisms of the innate immune response with the presence of pathogens. IFN-induced protein-35 kDa (IFP35) is induced by Type II IFN (IFN-γ); it is a cytoplasmic protein that can be translocated to the nucleus via the stimulation of IFN. In this study, we report the complete molecular characterization of the IFP35 cDNA sequence from the black rockfish in an effort to understand its role in the immune response. The coding sequence of RfIFP35 encoded a putative peptide of 371 amino acids containing two characteristic Nmi/IFP 35 domains (NIDs), which are highly conserved among its counterparts. The protein showed a molecular mass of 42.2 kDa with a theoretical pI of 5.05 and was predicted to be unstable because of its high instability index (49.37). Therefore, the protein-protein interaction is essential for its stability, which may be facilitated by the intrinsically disordered regions in this protein. According to cellular location prediction, the RfIFP35 protein is cytosolic. Phylogenetic analysis showed that RfIFP35 was cladded within the fish counterparts. Tissue distribution profiling revealed a ubiquitous presence of the protein in all examined tissues, with highest expression in the blood followed by the spleen tissues. The expression of RfIFP35 during immune challenge with poly I:C and lipopolysaccharide treatments affirms its putative importance in the first-line host defense system. RfIFN-γ mRNA was significantly expressed at 6 h p.i. in blood and 3 h p.i. in the spleen following treatment with different immune stimulants, and its expression was higher compared to that of RfIFP35 mRNA. Therefore, the modulation patterns of both RfIFP35 and RfIFN-γ suggest that RfIFP35 may be induced by RfIFN-γ.

Abstract
Glucose and lipid metabolism disorders as well as oxidative stress (OSS) play important roles in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Glucose and lipid metabolic dysfunctions are the basic pathological changes of chronic microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, such as DN. OSS can lead to the accumulation of extracellular matrix and inflammatory factors which will accelerate the progress of DN. Casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) mediates adipogenesis, cell proliferation and inflammation under many circumstances. However, whether CKIP-1 is involved in the development of DN remains unknown. Here, we show that CKIP-1 is a novel regulator of resisting the development of DN and the underlying molecular mechanism is related to activating the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) antioxidative stress pathway. The following findings were obtained: (1) The treatment of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) with high glucose (HG) decreased CKIP-1 levels in a time-dependent manner; (2) CKIP-1 overexpression dramatically reduced fibronectin (FN) and intercellular adhesionmolecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Depletion of CKIP-1 further induced the production of FN and ICAM-1; (3) CKIP-1 promoted the nuclear accumulation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity of Nrf2. Moreover, CKIP-1 upregulated the expression of Nrf2 downstream genes, heme oxygenase (HO-1) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1); and ultimately decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The molecular mechanisms clarify that the advantageous effect of CKIP-1 on DN are well connected with the activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidative stress pathway.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) represses host translation machinery, blocks protein secretion, and cleaves cellular proteins associated with signal transduction and the innate immune response to infection. Non-structural proteins (NSPs) and non-coding elements (NCEs) of FMDV play a critical role in these biological processes. The FMDV virion consists of capsid and nucleic acid. The virus genome is a positive single stranded RNA and encodes a single long open reading frame (ORF) flanked by a long structured 5ʹ-untranslated region (5ʹ-UTR) and a short 3ʹ-UTR. The ORF is translated into a polypeptide chain and processed into four structural proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4), 10 NSPs (Lpro, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B1–3, 3Cpro, and 3Dpol), and some cleavage intermediates. In the past decade, an increasing number of studies have begun to focus on the molecular pathogenesis of FMDV NSPs and NCEs. This review collected recent research progress on the biological functions of these NSPs and NCEs on the replication and host cellular regulation of FMDV to understand the molecular mechanism of host–FMDV interactions and provide perspectives for antiviral strategy and development of novel vaccines.

Abstract
N‐myc & STAT Interactor, NMI, is a protein that has mostly been studied for its physical interactions with transcription factors that play critical roles in tumor growth, progression and metastasis. NMI is an inducible protein, thus its intracellular levels and location can vary dramatically, influencing a diverse array of cellular functions in a context‐dependent manner. The physical interactions of NMI with its binding partners have been linked to many aspects of tumor biology including DNA damage response, cell death, epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition and stemness. Thus, discovering more details about the function(s) of NMI could reveal key insights into how transcription factors like c‐Myc, STATs and BRCA1 are contextually regulated. Although a normal, physiological function of NMI has not yet been discovered, it has potential roles in pathologies ranging from viral infection to cancer. This review provides a timely perspective of the unfolding roles of NMI with specific focus on cancer progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Glioma is the most malignant brain tumor and glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type. The involvement of N-myc (and STAT) interactor (NMI) in tumorigenesis was sporadically reported but far from elucidation. This study aims to investigate roles of NMI in human glioma. Three independent cohorts, the Chinese tissue microarray (TMA) cohort (N = 209), the Repository for Molecular Brain Neoplasia Data (Rembrandt) cohort (N = 371) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort (N = 528 or 396) were employed. Transcriptional or protein levels of NMI expression were significantly increased according to tumor grade in all three cohorts. High expression of NMI predicted significantly unfavorable clinical outcome for GBM patients, which was further determined as an independent prognostic factor. Additionally, expression and prognostic value of NMI were associated with molecular features of GBM including PTEN deletion and EGFR amplification in TCGA cohort. Furthermore, overexpression or depletion of NMI revealed its regulation on G1/S progression and cell proliferation (both in vitro and in vivo), and this effect was partially dependent on STAT1, which interacted with and was regulated by NMI. These data demonstrate that NMI may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for glioblastoma.

Abstract
In this study, using an immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry approach, we have identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase Trim21 as an interacting partner of IFI35 and Nmi. We found that this interaction leads to K63-linked ubiquitination on K22 residue of Nmi, but not IFI35. Using domain deletion analysis, we found that the interaction is mediated via the coiled-coil domain of Nmi and the carboxyl-terminal SPRY domain of Trim21. Furthermore, we show that depletion of Trim21 leads to significantly reduced interaction of Nmi with IFI35, which results in the abrogation of the negative regulatory function of the Nmi-IFI35 complex on innate antiviral signaling. Thus, Trim21 appears to be a critical regulator of the functions of the Nmi-IFI35 complex. Overall, the results presented here uncover a new mechanism of regulation of the Nmi-IFI35 complex by Trim21, which may have implications for various autoimmune diseases associated uncontrolled antiviral signaling.

Abstract
Capping protein (CP) binds the fast growing barbed end of the actin filament and regulates actin assembly by blocking the addition and loss of actin subunits. Recent studies provide new insights into how CP and barbed-end capping are regulated. Filament elongation factors, such as formins and ENA/VASP (enabled/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein), indirectly regulate CP by competing with CP for binding to the barbed end, whereas other molecules, including V-1 and phospholipids, directly bind to CP and sterically block its interaction with the filament. In addition, a diverse and unrelated group of proteins interact with CP through a conserved 'capping protein interaction' (CPI) motif. These proteins, including CARMIL (capping protein, ARP2/3 and myosin I linker), CD2AP (CD2-associated protein) and the WASH (WASP and SCAR homologue) complex subunit FAM21, recruit CP to specific subcellular locations and modulate its actin-capping activity via allosteric effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Recent evidence suggests that in animals gut microbiota composition (GMC) affects the onset and progression of hepatic fat accumulation. The aim of this study was to investigate in humans whether subjects with high hepatic fat content (HHFC) differ in their GMC from those with low hepatic fat content (LHFC), and whether these differences are associated with body composition, biomarkers and abdominal adipose tissue inflammation. METHODS Hepatic fat content (HFC) was measured using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H MRS). Fecal GMC was profiled by 16S rRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry. Adipose tissue gene expression was analyzed using Affymetrix microarrays and quantitative PCR. RESULTS The HHFC group had unfavorable GMC described by lower amount of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (FPrau) (p<0.05) and relatively higher Enterobacteria than the LHFC group. Metabolically dysbiotic GMC associated with HOMA-IR and triglycerides (p<0.05 for both). Several inflammation-related adipose tissue genes were differentially expressed and correlated with HFC (p<0.05). In addition, the expression of certain genes correlated with GMC dysbiosis, i.e., low FPrau-to-Bacteroides ratio. CONCLUSIONS HHFC subjects differ unfavorably in their GMC from LHFC subjects. Adipose tissue inflammation may be an important link between GMC, metabolic disturbances, and hepatic fat accumulation.

Abstract
Macrophages play pivotal roles in development, homeostasis, tissue repair and immunity. Macrophage proliferation is promoted by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-induced Akt signaling; yet, how this process is terminated remains unclear. Here, we identify casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) as a novel inhibitor of macrophage proliferation. In resting macrophages, CKIP-1 was phosphorylated at Serine 342 by constitutively active GSK3β, the downstream target of Akt. This phosphorylation triggers the polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of CKIP-1. Upon M-CSF stimulation, Akt is activated by CSF-1R-PI3K and then inactivates GSK3β, leading to the stabilization of CKIP-1 and β-catenin proteins. β-catenin promotes the expression of proliferation genes including cyclin D and c-Myc. CKIP-1 interacts with TRAF6, a ubiquitin ligase required for K63-linked ubiquitination and plasma membrane recruitment of Akt, and terminates TRAF6-mediated Akt activation. By this means, CKIP-1 inhibits macrophage proliferation specifically at the late stage after M-CSF stimulation. Furthermore, CKIP-1 deficiency results in increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis of macrophages in vitro and CKIP-1(-/-) mice spontaneously develop a macrophage-dominated splenomegaly and myeloproliferation. Together, these data demonstrate that CKIP-1 plays a critical role in the regulation of macrophage homeostasis by inhibiting TRAF6-mediated Akt activation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Foamy viruses (FVs) are complex retroviruses that establish lifelong persistent infection without evident pathology. However, the roles of cellular factors in FV latency are poorly understood. This study revealed that N-Myc interactor (Nmi) could inhibit the replication of prototype foamy virus (PFV). Overexpression of Nmi reduced PFV replication, whereas its depletion by small interfering RNA increased PFV replication. The Nmi-mediated impairment of PFV replication resulted from the diminished transactivation by PFV Tas of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) and an internal promoter (IP). Nmi was determined to interact with Tas and abrogate its function by sequestration in the cytoplasm. In addition, human and bovine Nmi proteins were found to inhibit the replication of bovine foamy virus (BFV) and PFV. Together, these results indicate that Nmi inhibits both human and bovine FVs by interfering with the transactivation function of Tas and may have a role in the host defense against FV infection. IMPORTANCE From this study, we report that the N-Myc interactor (Nmi), an interferon-induced protein, can interact with the regulatory protein Tas of the prototype foamy virus and sequester it in the cytoplasm. The results of this study suggest that Nmi plays an important role in maintaining foamy virus latency and may reveal a new pathway in the interferon-mediated antiviral barrier against viruses. These findings are important for understanding virus-host relationships not only with FVs but potentially for other retroviruses as well.

Therapeutic RNA interference targeting CKIP-1 with a cross-species sequence to stimulate bone formation. Bone 2014; 59:76-88. [PMID: 24246247 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2013.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2013] [Revised: 11/06/2013] [Accepted: 11/10/2013] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Casein kinase 2 interacting protein 1 (CKIP-1) is a newly discovered intracellular negative regulator of bone formation without affecting bone resorption. In this study, we aimed to identify a cross-species siRNA sequence targeting CKIP-1 to facilitate developing a novel RNAi-based bone anabolic drug for reversing established osteoporosis. METHODS Eight specifically designed cross-species CKIP-1 siRNA sequences were screened in human, rhesus, rat and mouse osteoblast-like cells in vitro to identify the optimal sequence with the highest knockdown efficiency. The effect of this optimal siRNA sequence on osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization was further examined in osteoblast-like cells across different species, followed by an immunogenicity assessment in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro. The intra-osseous localization and silencing efficiency of the optimal siRNA were examined in vivo using a biophotonic system and real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The RNAi-mediated cleavage of the CKIP-1 transcript was confirmed by rapid amplification of the 5' cDNA ends in vivo. Furthermore, the effect of the optimal siRNA sequence on osteogenic differentiation, bone turnover biomarkers, bone mass and micro-architecture parameters was investigated in healthy and osteoporotic rodents. RESULTS The CKIP-1 siRNA sequence (si-3) was identified as the optimal sequence, which consistently maintained CKIP-1 mRNA/protein expression at the lowest level across species in vitro. The si-3 significantly increased mRNA expression levels of osteoblast phenotypic genes and matrix mineralization across species without inducing an immunostimulatory activity in vitro. The intra-osseous localization and RNAi-mediated CKIP-1 silencing with high efficiency were confirmed in vivo. Periodic intravenous injections of si-3 promoted mRNA expression of osteoblast phenotypic genes, enhanced bone formation, increased bone mass and elevated serum level of bone formation marker without raising urine level of bone resorption marker in the healthy rodents. Moreover, the si-3 treatment promoted bone formation, improved trabecular micro-architecture and reversed bone loss in the osteoporotic mice. CONCLUSIONS The identified optimal CKIP-1 siRNA sequence (si-3) could promote osteogenic differentiation across species in vitro, stimulate bone formation in the healthy rodents and reverse bone loss in the osteoporotic mice.

Abstract
Cross-species transmissions of swine influenza viruses (SIVs) raise great public health concerns. In this study, subcellular proteomic profiles of human A549 cells inoculated with H3N2 subtype SIV were used to characterize dynamic cellular responses to infection. By 2DE and MS, 27 differentially expressed (13 upregulated, 14 downregulated) cytoplasmic proteins and 20 differentially expressed (13 upregulated, 7 downregulated) nuclear proteins were identified. Gene ontology analysis suggested that these differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in cell death, stress response, lipid metabolism, cell signaling, and RNA PTMs. Moreover, 25 corresponding genes of the differentially expressed proteins were quantitated by real time RT-PCR to examine the transcriptional profiles between mock- and virus-infected A549 cells. Western blot analysis confirmed that changes in abundance of identified cellular proteins heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) U, hnRNP C, ALDH1A1, tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, IFI35, and HSPB1 in H3N2 SIV-infected cells were consistent with results of 2DE analysis. By confocal microscopy, nucleus-to-cytoplasm translocation of hnRNP C and colocalization between the viral nonstructural protein 1 and hnRNP C as well as N-myc (and STAT) interactor were observed upon infection. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that cellular proteins altered during infection were grouped mainly into NFκB and interferon signaling networks. Collectively, these identified subcellular constituents provide an important framework for understanding host/SIV interactions and underlying mechanisms of SIV cross-species infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Viral infection causes host cells to produce type I IFNs, which play a critical role in viral clearance. IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 7 is the master regulator of type I IFN-dependent immune responses. In this article, we report that N-Myc and STATs interactor (Nmi), a Sendai virus-inducible protein, interacted with IRF7 and inhibited virus-triggered type I IFN production. The overexpression of Nmi inhibited the Sendai virus-triggered induction of type I IFNs, whereas the knockdown of Nmi promoted IFN production. Furthermore, the enhanced production of IFNs resulting from Nmi knockdown was sufficient to protect cells from infection by vesicular stomatitis virus. In addition, Nmi was found to promote the K48-linked ubiquitination of IRF7 and the proteasome-dependent degradation of this protein. Finally, an impairment of antiviral responses is also detectable in Nmi-transgenic mice. These findings suggest that Nmi is a negative regulator of the virus-triggered induction of type I IFNs that targets IRF7.

Abstract
The casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is involved in many cellular functions, including apoptosis, signalling pathways, cell growth, cytoskeleton and bone formation. Its N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is thought to play an important role in membrane localization and controls shuttling of CKIP-1 between the plasma membrane and nucleus. In this study, the human CKIP-1 PH domain was purified but problems were encountered with nucleic acid contamination. An S84D/S86D/S88D triple mutant designed to abolish nucleic acid binding was purified and successfully crystallized. Single crystals diffracted to 1.7 Å resolution and belonged to space group P4₃2₁2 with unit-cell parameters a=53.0, b=53.0, c=113.8 Å, α=β=γ=90.0°.

Abstract
The PH domain-containing casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1, also known as PLEKHO1) acts as a scaffold protein mediating interactions with multiple proteins, including CK2α, CPα, AP-1/c-Jun, Akt, ATM, IFP35/Nmi and Smurf1. CKIP-1 functions through different ways, such as plasma membrane recruitment, transcriptional activity modulation and posttranscriptional modification regulation. Moreover, the subcellular localization of CKIP-1 is determined by several key amino acids in a cell type dependent style, and the nucleus/plasma membrane shuttle of CKIP-1 is regulated by different cell stresses. As an adaptor protein, CKIP-1 is involved in various important signaling pathways, controlling cell growth, apoptosis, differentiation, cytoskeleton and bone formation. Strikingly, CKIP-1 has been recently demonstrated to be a promising target for treatment of osteoporosis in rat models. In addition, more evidences suggest that CKIP-1 might also function as a potential tumor suppressor.

Abstract
Background Interferon-induced 35-kDa protein (IFP35) plays important roles in antiviral defense and the progression of some skin cancer diseases. It can be induced by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in multiple human cells. However, the mechanisms by which IFN-γ contributes to IFP35 induction remain to be elucidated. Methods/Principal Findings We identified the transcription start sites of IFP35 by 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and cloned the promoter of IFP35. Sequence analysis and luciferase assays revealed two GC boxes and an IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) in the 5′ upstream region of the transcription start sites, which were important for the basal transcription of IFP35 gene. Furthermore, we found that interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) and IRF-2 could bind to IFP35 promoter and upregulate endogenous IFP35 protein level. Depletion of endogenous IRF-1 by interfering RNA reduced the constitutive and IFN-γ-dependent expression of IFP35, whereas depletion of IRF-2 had little effect on IFN-γ-inducible IFP35 expression. Moreover, IRF-1 was recruited to the ISRE site in IFP35 promoter in IFN-γ treated HeLa cells, as demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Conclusions/Significance These findings provide the first evidence that IRF-1 and IRF-2 are involved in constitutive IFP35 expression in HeLa cells, while IRF-1 also activates IFP35 expression in an IFN-γ-inducible manner. Our data therefore identified a new IRF-1 and IRF-2 target gene, which may expand our current understanding of the versatile functions of IRF-1 and IRF-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sustained cardiac pressure overload-induced hypertrophy and pathological remodeling frequently leads to heart failure. Casein kinase-2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) has been identified to be an important regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, the physiological role of CKIP-1 in the heart is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS The results of echocardiography and histology demonstrate that CKIP-1-deficient mice exhibit spontaneous cardiac hypertrophy with aging and hypersensitivity to pressure overload-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy, as well. Transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of CKIP-1 showed resistance to cardiac hypertrophy in response to pressure overload. The results of GST pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation assays showed the interaction between CKIP-1 and histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), through which they synergistically inhibited transcriptional activity of myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C. By directly interacting with the catalytic subunit of phosphatase 2A, CKIP-1 overexpression enhanced the binding of catalytic subunit of phosphatase-2A to HDAC4 and promoted HDAC4 dephosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS CKIP-1 was found to be an inhibitor of cardiac hypertrophy by upregulating the dephosphorylation of HDAC4 through the recruitment of protein phosphatase 2A. These results demonstrated a unique function of CKIP-1, by which it suppresses cardiac hypertrophy through its capacity to regulate HDAC4 dephosphorylation and fetal cardiac genes expression.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) 2C, is one of the most highly-conserved viral proteins among the serotypes of FMDV. However, its effect on host cells is not very clear. Using yeast two-hybrid system and immunoprecipitation approaches, we found that FMDV 2C interacted with the N-myc and STAT interactor (Nmi) protein. When expressed in cells, FMDV 2C is mainly associated with endoplasmic reticulum in the forms of speckles. In the absence of FMDV 2C, Nmi was distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm. However, upon FMDV 2C overexpression Nmi was recruited into FMDV 2C containing speckles where both proteins are co-localized. In addition, FMDV 2C induced apoptosis in BHK-21 cells, which was markedly inhibited by Nmi knockdown, suggesting that Nmi may play a critical role in FMDV 2C-induced apoptosis. These findings may help to further understand the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis of FMDV infection.

Abstract
Multinucleated muscle fibres arise by fusion of precursor cells called myoblasts. We previously showed that CKIP-1 ectopic expression in C2C12 myoblasts increased cell fusion. In this work, we report that CKIP-1 depletion drastically impairs C2C12 myoblast fusion in vitro and in vivo during zebrafish muscle development. Within developing fast-twich myotome, Ckip-1 localises at the periphery of fast precursor cells, closed to the plasma membrane. Unlike wild-type myoblasts that form spatially arrayed multinucleated fast myofibres, Ckip-1-deficient myoblasts show a drastic reduction in fusion capacity. A search for CKIP-1 binding partners identified the ARPC1 subunit of Arp2/3 actin nucleation complex essential for myoblast fusion. We demonstrate that CKIP-1, through binding to plasma membrane phosphoinositides via its PH domain, regulates cell morphology and lamellipodia formation by recruiting the Arp2/3 complex at the plasma membrane. These results establish CKIP-1 as a regulator of cortical actin that recruits the Arp2/3 complex at the plasma membrane essential for muscle precursor elongation and fusion.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is the formation of neovasculature from preexisting microvessels. Several endogenous proteins regulate the balance of vessel formation and regression in the body including pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which has been shown to be antiangiogenic and to suppress tumor growth. Using sequence homology and bioinformatics, we previously identified several peptide sequences homologous to an active region of PEDF existing in multiple proteins in the human proteome. These short 11-mer peptides are found in a DEAH box helicase protein, CKIP-1 and caspase 10, and show similar activity in altering endothelial cell adhesion, migration and inducing apoptosis.We tested the peptide derived from DEAH box helicase protein in a triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast orthotopic xenograft model in severe combined immunodeficient mice and show significant tumor suppression.

Abstract
Metabolic skeletal disorders associated with impaired bone formation are a major clinical challenge. One approach to treat these defects is to silence bone-formation-inhibitory genes by small interference RNAs (siRNAs) in osteogenic-lineage cells that occupy the niche surrounding the bone-formation surfaces. We developed a targeting system involving dioleoyl trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP)-based cationic liposomes attached to six repetitive sequences of aspartate, serine, serine ((AspSerSer)(6)) for delivering siRNAs specifically to bone-formation surfaces. Using this system, we encapsulated an osteogenic siRNA that targets casein kinase-2 interacting protein-1 (encoded by Plekho1, also known as Plekho1). In vivo systemic delivery of Plekho1 siRNA in rats using our system resulted in the selective enrichment of the siRNAs in osteogenic cells and the subsequent depletion of Plekho1. A bioimaging analysis further showed that this approach markedly promoted bone formation, enhanced the bone micro-architecture and increased the bone mass in both healthy and osteoporotic rats. These results indicate (AspSerSer)(6)-liposome as a promising targeted delivery system for RNA interference-based bone anabolic therapy.

Abstract
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that causes acute disseminated infections in immunocompromised hosts, representing an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. To study the genetic control of susceptibility to disseminated C. albicans in mice, we phenotyped a group of 23 phylogenetically distant inbred strains for susceptibility to infection as measured by extent of fungal replication in the kidney 48 hours following infection. Susceptibility was strongly associated with the loss-of-function mutant complement component 5 (C5/Hc) allele, which is known to be inherited by approximately 40% of inbred strains. Our survey identified 2 discordant strains, AKR/J (C5-deficient, resistant) and SM/J (C5-sufficient, susceptible), suggesting that additional genetic effects may control response to systemic candidiasis in these strains. Haplotype association mapping in the 23 strains using high density SNP maps revealed several putative loci regulating the extent of C. albicans replication, amongst which the most significant were C5 (P value = 2.43×10(-11)) and a novel effect on distal chromosome 11 (P value = 7.63×10(-9)). Compared to other C5-deficient strains, infected AKR/J strain displays a reduced fungal burden in the brain, heart and kidney, and increased survival, concomitant with uniquely high levels of serum IFNγ. C5-independent genetic effects were further investigated by linkage analysis in an [A/JxAKR/J]F2 cross (n = 158) where the mutant Hc allele is fixed. These studies identified a chromosome 11 locus (Carg4, Candida albicans resistance gene 4; LOD = 4.59), and a chromosome 8 locus (Carg3; LOD = 3.95), both initially detected by haplotype association mapping. Alleles at both loci were inherited in a co-dominant manner. Our results verify the important effect of C5-deficiency in inbred mouse strains, and further identify two novel loci, Carg3 and Carg4, which regulate resistance to C. albicans infection in a C5-independent manner.

Abstract
Global gene expression analysis allows for the identification of transcripts that are differentially regulated during a disease state. Many groups, including our own, have identified hundreds of genes differentially regulated in response to prion infection. Eleven transcripts, upregulated in the brains of prion-infected animals, which were classified in the literature as stimulated by the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), were identified. This is intriguing, as IFN-γ has recently been detected in the brains of prion-infected animals. Quantitation of several genes, categorized as IFN-γ inducible, by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) confirms that these transcripts are upregulated. Future approaches for delineating the role of IFN-γ-induced transcripts and their function in prion infection are described.

Abstract
The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing protein casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) plays an important role in regulation of bone formation and muscle differentiation. How CKIP-1 localization is determined remains largely unclear. We observed that isolated CKIP-1-PH domain was predominantly localized in the nucleus and the C-terminus of CKIP-1 counteracted its nuclear localization. The net charge of basic residues and a serine-rich motif within the PH domain plays a pivotal role in the localization switch of both full-length CKIP-1 and the isolated PH domain. We propose that the N-terminal PH domain and C-terminal auto-inhibitory region of CKIP-1 coordinate to determine its subcellular localization and the nucleus-plasma membrane shuttling.

Abstract
Despite the prevalence of H5N1 influenza viruses in global avian populations, comparatively few cases have been diagnosed in humans. Although viral factors almost certainly play a role in limiting human infection and disease, host genetics most likely contribute substantially. To model host factors in the context of influenza virus infection, we determined the lethal dose of a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus (A/Hong Kong/213/03) in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice and identified genetic elements associated with survival after infection. The lethal dose in these hosts varied by 4 logs and was associated with differences in replication kinetics and increased production of proinflammatory cytokines CCL2 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in susceptible DBA/2J mice. Gene mapping with recombinant inbred BXD strains revealed five loci or Qivr (quantitative trait loci for influenza virus resistance) located on chromosomes 2, 7, 11, 15, and 17 associated with resistance to H5N1 virus. In conjunction with gene expression profiling, we identified a number of candidate susceptibility genes. One of the validated genes, the hemolytic complement gene, affected virus titer 7 days after infection. We conclude that H5N1 influenza virus-induced pathology is affected by a complex and multigenic host component.

Abstract
Only a few p53 regulators have been shown to participate in the selective control of p53-mediated cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. How p53-mediated apoptosis is negatively regulated remains largely unclear. Here we report that Apak (ATM and p53-associated KZNF protein), a Krüppel-associated box (KRAB)-type zinc-finger protein, binds directly to p53 in unstressed cells, specifically downregulates pro-apoptotic genes, and suppresses p53-mediated apoptosis by recruiting KRAB-box-associated protein (KAP)-1 and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) to attenuate the acetylation of p53. Apak inhibits p53 activity by interacting with ATM, a previously identified p53 activator. In response to stress, Apak is phosphorylated by ATM and dissociates from p53, resulting in activation of p53 and induction of apoptosis. These findings revealed Apak to be a negative regulator of p53-mediated apoptosis and showed the dual role of ATM in p53 regulation.

Abstract
The functional impairment and numerical decline of CD8+ T cells during HIV infection has a profound effect on disease progression, but only limited microarray studies have used CD8+ T cells. To understand the interactions of HIV and host CD8+ T cells at different disease status, we used the Illumina Human-6 BeadChips to evaluate the transcriptional profile (>48,000 transcripts) in primary CD8+ T cells from HIV+ therapy-naive non-progressors and therapy-experienced progressors. 68 differentially expressed genes were identified, of which 6 have been reported in HIV context, while others are associated with biological functions relevant to HIV pathogenesis. By GSEA, the coordinated up-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation enzymes and interferon responses were detected as fingerprints in HIV progressors on HAART, whereas LTNP displayed a transcriptional signature of coordinated up-regulation of components of MAPK and cytotoxicty pathways. These results will provide biological insights into natural control of HIV versus HIV control under HAART.

Abstract
Interferon-induced proteins (IFPs) exert multiple functions corresponding to diverse interferon signals. However, the intracellular functions of many IFPs are not fully characterized. Here, we report that IFP35, a member of the IFP family with a molecular mass of 35 kDa, can interact with the bovine Tas (BTas) regulatory protein of bovine foamy virus (BFV). The interaction involves NID2 (IFP35/Nmi homology domain) of IFP35 and the central domain of BTas. The overexpression of IFP35 disturbs the ability of BTas to activate viral-gene transcription and inhibits viral replication. The depletion of endogenous IFP35 by interfering RNA can promote the activation of BFV, suggesting an inhibitory function of IFP35 in viral-gene expression. In addition, IFP35 can interact with the homologous regulatory protein of prototype FV and arrest viral replication and repress viral transcription. Our study suggests that IFP35 may represent a novel pathway of interferon-mediated antiviral activity in host organisms that plays a role in the maintenance of FV latency.
