Abstract
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly lethal tumor that often develops resistance to targeted therapy. It is shown that Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) phosphorylates AGO2 at S417 (pS417-AGO2), which promotes NSCLC progression by increasing the formation of microRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC). High levels of pS417-AGO2 in clinical NSCLC specimens are positively associated with poor prognosis. Interestingly, the treatment with EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib can significantly induce pS417-AGO2, thereby increasing the formation and activity of oncogenic miRISC, which may contribute to NSCLC resistance to Gefitinib. Based on these, two therapeutic strategies is developed. One is jointly to antagonize multiple oncogenic miRNAs highly expressed in NSCLC and use TBK1 inhibitor Amlexanox reducing the formation of oncogenic miRISC. Another approach is to combine Gefitinib with Amlexanox to inhibit the progression of Gefitinib-resistant NSCLC. This findings reveal a novel mechanism of oncogenic miRISC regulation by TBK1-mediated pS417-AGO2 and suggest potential therapeutic approaches for NSCLC.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Virus infection triggers induction of interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs), which ironically inhibit viruses themselves. We identified Tudor domain-containing 7 (TDRD7) as a novel antiviral ISG, which inhibits viral replication by interfering with autophagy pathway. Here, we present a molecular basis for autophagy inhibitory function of TDRD7. TDRD7 interacted with adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the kinase that initiates autophagy, to inhibit its activation. We identified domains required for the interaction; deleting AMPK-interacting domain blocked antiAMPK and antiviral activities of TDRD7. We used primary cells and mice to evaluate the TDRD7-AMPK antiviral pathway. TDRD7-deficient primary mouse cells exhibited enhanced AMPK activation and viral replication. Finally, TDRD7 knockout mice showed increased susceptibility to respiratory virus infection. Therefore, our study revealed a new antiviral pathway of IFN and its contribution to host response. Our results have therapeutic potential; a TDRD7-derived peptide may be an effective AMPK inhibitor with application as antiviral agent.

Abstract
A rapid induction of antiviral genes is critical for eliminating viruses, which requires activated transcription factors and opened chromatins to initiate transcription. However, it remains elusive how the accessibility of specific chromatin is regulated during infection. Here, we found that XAF1 functioned as an epigenetic regulator that liberated repressed chromatin after infection. Upon RNA virus infection, MAVS recruited XAF1 and TBK1. TBK1 phosphorylated XAF1 at serine-252 and promoted its nuclear translocation. XAF1 then interacted with TRIM28 with the guidance of IRF1 to the specific locus of antiviral genes. XAF1 de-SUMOylated TRIM28 through its PHD domain, which led to increased accessibility of the chromatin and robust induction of antiviral genes. XAF1-deficient mice were susceptible to RNA virus due to impaired induction of antiviral genes. Together, XAF1 acts as an epigenetic regulator that promotes the opening of chromatin and activation of antiviral immunity by targeting TRIM28 during infection.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most prevalent pathogens which causes significant morbidity and mortality in 2% of the world's population. Several interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) are involved in HCV clearance by interacting with the viral proteins. Among these ISGs, the tripartite motif (TRIM) family genes are elevated during HCV infection. This study aims to evaluate the expression of three TRIM family genes in chronic hepatitis C patients, distributed among different groups, including TRIM11, TRIM14, and TRIM25. A total of 242 participants were recruited in this study, including 182 infected patients, 37 naïve individuals, and 23 control individuals. Out of 182 infected patients, 100 achieved sustained virologic response (SVR), 61 achieved rapid virologic response (RVR), and 21 patients developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing no response to the given treatments. Our results indicate highest expression levels of TRIM mRNA transcripts in the RVR group with the highest increase of 7.5 folds in TRIM25, 6.68 folds in TRIM14, followed by the data from patients of the SVR group. The elevation was also evident in other groups, i.e., SVR and HCC, in different patterns among all the three TRIM genes. In addition to elevation in expression levels, a linear correlation is observed between the TRIM mRNAs and viral loads of HCV. These results showed the potential role of TRIM family genes in HCV restriction.

Abstract
Orthohantaviruses are rodent-borne, negative-sense RNA viruses that are capable of causing severe vascular disease in humans. Over the course of viral evolution, these viruses have tailored their replication cycles in such a way as to avoid and/or antagonize host innate immune responses. In the rodent reservoir, this results in life long asymptomatic infections. However, in hosts other than its co-evolved reservoir, the mechanisms for subduing the innate immune response may be less efficient or absent, potentially leading to disease and/or viral clearance. In the case of human orthohantavirus infection, the interaction of the innate immune response with viral replication is thought to give rise to severe vascular disease. The orthohantavirus field has made significant advancements in understanding how these viruses replicate and interact with host innate immune responses since their identification by Dr. Ho Wang Lee and colleagues in 1976. Therefore, the purpose of this review, as part of this special issue dedicated to Dr. Lee, was to summarize the current knowledge of orthohantavirus replication, how viral replication activates innate immunity, and how the host antiviral response, in turn, impacts viral replication.

Abstract
Vibrio bacteria are often fatal to aquatic organisms and selection of Vibrio-resistant strains is warranted for aquaculture animals. In this study, we found that hybrids between bay scallops and Peruvian scallops exhibited significantly higher resistance to Vibrio challenge, but little is available on its mechanism. Interferon induced protein 44 (IFI44), a member of the type I interferon (IFN) family, plays an important role in the IFN immune response in invertebrates, which may also participate in the resistance to Vibrio in scallops. To explore the roles of IFI44 genes in the resistance to Vibrio, they were identified and characterized in the bay scallop (designated as AiIFI44), the Peruvian scallop (designated as ApIFI44), and their reciprocal hybrids (designated as AipIFI44 and ApiIFI44, respectively). Their open reading frame (ORF) sequences were all 1434 bp, encoding 477 amino acids, but with large variations among the four genes. The AipIFI44 and ApiIFI44 exhibited higher similarity with ApIFI44 than with AiIFI44. All four genes have a TLDc structural domain with significant variations in sequences among them. Predicted differences in conformation and posttranslational modifications may lead to altered protein activity. We further demonstrated that the AiIFI44, AipIFI44 and ApiIFI44 expressed in all the tested tissues, with the highest expression in the gills and hepatopancreas. In response to Vibrio anguillarum challenge, the profile of mRNA expression of IFI44 gene differed among the bay scallops and the two hybrids. In the bay scallops, it increased at 6 h but dramatically decreased after 12-48 h. However, the mRNA expression of both AipIFI44 and ApiIFI44 decreased at 6 h but continuously increased thereafter and reached the highest value at 48 h. The results in the present study suggest the immune responds of IFI44 in scallops and it may be related to the higher resistance to Vibrio bacterial in hybrids.

Abstract
It is widely known that stimulator of interferon genes (STING) can trigger nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling. However, whether and how the NF-κB pathway affects STING signaling remains largely unclear. Here, we report that Toll-like receptor (TLR)-, interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-, tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-, growth factor receptor (GF-R)-, and protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated NF-κB signaling activation dramatically enhances STING-mediated immune responses. Mechanistically, we find that STING interacts with microtubules, which plays a crucial role in STING intracellular trafficking. We further uncover that activation of the canonical NF-κB pathway induces microtubule depolymerization, which inhibits STING trafficking to lysosomes for degradation. This leads to increased levels of activated STING that persist for a longer period of time. The synergy between NF-κB and STING triggers a cascade-amplified interferon response and robust host antiviral defense. In addition, we observe that several gain-of-function mutations of STING abolish the microtubule-STING interaction and cause abnormal STING trafficking and ligand-independent STING autoactivation. Collectively, our data demonstrate that NF-κB activation enhances STING signaling by regulating microtubule-mediated STING trafficking.

Abstract
TBK1 and IKKϵ are related, crucial kinases in antiviral immune signaling pathways downstream of cytosolic nucleic acid receptors such as cGAS and RIG-I-like receptors. Upon activation, they phosphorylate the transcription factors IRF3 and IRF7 and thereby initiate the expression of type I interferons and antiviral effectors. While point mutation-induced loss of TBK1 kinase activity results in clinical hyper-susceptibility to viral infections, a complete lack of TBK1 expression in humans is unexpectedly not associated with diminished antiviral responses. Here, we provide a mechanistic explanation for these so-far unexplained observations by showing that TBK1 controls the protein expression of its related kinase IKKϵ in human myeloid cells. Mechanistically, TBK1 constitutively diminishes the protein stability of IKKϵ independent of TBK1 kinase activity but dependent on its interaction with the scaffold protein TANK. In consequence, depletion of TBK1 protein but not mutation-induced kinase deficiency induces the upregulation of IKKϵ. Due to the functional redundancy of the kinases in cGAS-STING and RIG-I-like receptor signaling in human myeloid cells, enhanced IKKϵ expression can compensate for the loss of TBK1. We show that IKKϵ upregulation is crucial to ensure unmitigated type I interferon production in conditions of TBK1 deficiency: While the type I interferon response to Listeria monocytogenes infection is maintained upon TBK1 loss, it is strongly diminished in cells harboring a kinase-deficient TBK1 variant, in which IKKϵ is not upregulated. Many pathogens induce TBK1 degradation, suggesting that loss of TBK1-mediated destabilization of IKKϵ is a critical backup mechanism to prevent diminished interferon responses upon TBK1 depletion.

Abstract
Respiratory viruses such as influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and coronaviruses initiate infection at the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract (URT), where the resident respiratory microbiome has an important gatekeeper function. In contrast to gut-targeting administration of beneficial bacteria against respiratory viral disease, topical URT administration of probiotics is currently underexplored, especially for the prevention and/or treatment of viral infections. Here, we report the formulation of a throat spray with live lactobacilli exhibiting several in vitro mechanisms of action against respiratory viral infections, including induction of interferon regulatory pathways and direct inhibition of respiratory viruses. Rational selection of Lactobacillaceae strains was based on previously documented beneficial properties, up-scaling and industrial production characteristics, clinical safety parameters, and potential antiviral and immunostimulatory efficacy in the URT demonstrated in this study. Using a three-step selection strategy, three strains were selected and further tested in vitro antiviral assays and in formulations: Lacticaseibacillus casei AMBR2 as a promising endogenous candidate URT probiotic with previously reported barrier-enhancing and anti-pathogenic properties and the two well-studied model strains Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1 that display immunomodulatory capacities. The three strains and their combination significantly reduced the cytopathogenic effects of RSV, influenza A/H1N1 and B viruses, and HCoV-229E coronavirus in co-culture models with bacteria, virus, and host cells. Subsequently, these strains were formulated in a throat spray and human monocytes were employed to confirm the formulation process did not reduce the interferon regulatory pathway-inducing capacity. Administration of the throat spray in healthy volunteers revealed that the lactobacilli were capable of temporary colonization of the throat in a metabolically active form. Thus, the developed spray with live lactobacilli will be further explored in the clinic as a potential broad-acting live biotherapeutic strategy against respiratory viral diseases.

Abstract
As a non-coding RNA with regulatory functions, microRNAs(miRNAs) can regulate gene expression and participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In recent years, although there have been many studies on miRNA, the regulation mechanisms of miRNA in teleost fish have not been fully elucidated. In this study, it was first predicted that MITA is the target of miR-27c through bioinformatics, and it was confirmed by dual fluorescence experiments. Then we found that miR-27c can inhibit the expression of MITA at the mRNA and protein levels, thereby promoting the NF-κB or IRF3 pathway. It is speculated that miR-27c plays an important role in the innate immunity of teleost fish. This study will help to further understand miRNAs regulatory mechanism in teleost fish.

Abstract
Background. Strategies used by herpes viruses with human cells are complex and multifaceted. On one hand, inborn defects in antiviral immune defense have been unveiled, which also affect interferon (IFN) system underlying development of chronic recalcitrant relapsing viral infections such as remittent respiratory viral infections, herpesvirus infections, and papillomavirus infections. On the other hand, numerous viruses are able to damage both immune system and IFN network. During inborn and acquired defects in IFN network, inborn or induced mutation in gene products involved in signaling cascades aimed at upregulating gene expression responsible for IFN production are observed. One of the strategies used by diverse viruses is altering some signaling pathways resulting in activated transcription factors including nuclear factor NF-kB. However, antiviral mechanisms executed by neutrophilic granulocytes (NGs), particularly affecting NF-kB expression have not been elucidated. Aim of the study: to study in vitro features of NF-kB expression and number of neutrophilic granulocytes (NG) expressing membrane IFN/R and IFNR in patients with atypical chronic active herpes virus infections (AChA-HVI), followed by assessing an effect of arginyl-alpha-aspartyl-lysyl-valyl-tyrosyl-arginine hexapeptide (HP), a synthetic analogue of the active center of the thymopoietin (active substance of drug Imunofan, Russia), on the expression of NG NF-kB and IFN/R and IFNR. Materials and methods. We observed 25 patients of both sexes aged 23 to 64 years with AChA-HVI, manifested by chronic fatigue syndrome and cognitive disorders. Study design: stage 1 clinical, ELISA, PCR methods, FC was used. Stage 2 the in vitro experiment: 32 blood samples from 8 healthy adults and 375 blood samples from 25 patients with AChA-HVI were analyzed: % NG expressing NF-kB, IFN/R, IFNR and the relevant MFI levels by using FC before and after incubation with HP. Results. Our study demonstrated low level (MFI) of NF-kB expression in 100% NG associated with decreased % of NG expressing IFN/R and IFNR in all patients with AChA-HVI and low serum level for IFN and IFN in comparison with healthy individuals. In the in vitro experiment there was shown that 100% of NG expressed NF-kB after exposure to HP. However, only 48% patients (SG 2) restored NF-kB expression level (MFI) to normal range and 52% of cases (SG 1) had no response. HP increased % of NG expressing IFN/R in SG 2 and increased % of NG expressing IFNR in SG 1. Conclusions. It was shown, that influence of HP in vitro has ambiguous effects on the expression of NF-kB, % of NG expressing IFN/R and IFNR in patients with AChA-HVI. We assume that different NF-kB response to HP is associated with inborn or secondary NF-kB deficiency.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is a transcription factor activated by phosphorylation in the cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell; by translocating to the nucleus, it induces transcription of IFN-β and other antiviral genes. We have previously reported IRF3 can also be activated, as a proapoptotic factor, by its linear polyubiquitination mediated by the RIG-I pathway. Both transcriptional and apoptotic functions of IRF3 contribute to its antiviral effect. Here, we report a nontranscriptional function of IRF3, namely, the repression of IRF3-mediated NF-κB activity (RIKA), which attenuated viral activation of NF-κB and the resultant inflammatory gene induction. In Irf3-/- mice, consequently, Sendai virus infection caused enhanced inflammation in the lungs. Mechanistically, RIKA was mediated by the direct binding of IRF3 to the p65 subunit of NF-κB in the cytoplasm, which prevented its nuclear import. A mutant IRF3 defective in both the transcriptional and the apoptotic activities was active in RIKA and inhibited virus replication. Our results demonstrated IRF3 deployed a three-pronged attack on virus replication and the accompanying inflammation.

Abstract
Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), a complication of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection causes neurological disorder or even death in immunocompromised adults and newborns. However, the intrinsic factors controlling the HSE outcome remain unclear. Here, we show that HSE mice exhibit gut microbiota dysbiosis and altered metabolite configuration and tryptophan-nicotinamide metabolism. HSV-1 neurotropic infection activated microglia, with changed immune properties and cell numbers, to stimulate antiviral immune response and contribute substantially to HSE. In addition, depletion of gut microbiota by oral antibiotics (ABX)-treatment triggered the hyper-activation of microglia, which in turn enhanced inflammatory immune response, and cytokine production, resulting in aggregated viral burden and HSE pathology. Furthermore, exogenous administration of nicotinamide n-oxide (NAMO), an oxidative product of nicotinamide derived from gut microbiota, to ABX-treated or untreated HSE mice significantly diminished microglia-mediated proinflammatory response and limited HSV-1 infection in CNS. Mechanistic study revealed that HSV-1 activates microglia by increasing mitochondrial damage via defective mitophagy, whereas microbial metabolite NAMO restores NAD+-dependent mitophagy to inhibit microglia activation and HSE progression. NAMO also prevented neuronal cell death triggered by HSV-1 infection or microglia-mediated microenvironmental toxicity. Finally, we show that NAMO is mainly generated by neomycin-sensitive bacteria, especially Lactobacillus_gasseri and Lactobacillus_reuteri. Together, these data demonstrate that gut microbial metabolites act as intrinsic restrictive factors against HSE progression via regulating mitophagy in microglia, implying further exploration of bacterial or nutritional approaches for treating neurotropic virus-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 is a great threat to global public health. However, the relationship between the viral pathogen SARS-CoV-2 and host innate immunity has not yet been well studied. The genome of SARS-CoV-2 encodes a viral protease called 3C-like protease. This protease is responsible for cleaving viral polyproteins during replication. In this investigation, 293T cells were transfected with SARS-CoV-2 3CL and then infected with Sendai virus (SeV) to induce the RIG-I like receptor (RLR)-based immune pathway. q-PCR, luciferase reporter assays, and western blotting were used for experimental analyses. We found that SARS-CoV-2 3CL significantly downregulated IFN-β mRNA levels. Upon SeV infection, SARS-CoV-2 3CL inhibited the nuclear translocation of IRF3 and p65 and promoted the degradation of IRF3. This effect of SARS-CoV-2 3CL on type I IFN in the RLR immune pathway opens up novel ideas for future research on SARS-CoV-2.

Murine Norovirus Infection Results in Anti-inflammatory Response Downstream of Amino Acid Depletion in Macrophages. J Virol 2021; 95:e0113421.

Abstract
Murine norovirus (MNV) infection results in a late translation shutoff that is proposed to contribute to the attenuated and delayed innate immune response observed both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, we further demonstrated the activation of the α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) kinase GCN2 during MNV infection, which has been previously linked to immunomodulation and resistance to inflammatory signaling during metabolic stress. While viral infection is usually associated with activation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding pattern recognition receptor PKR, we hypothesized that the establishment of a metabolic stress in infected cells is a proviral event, exploited by MNV to promote replication through weakening the activation of the innate immune response. In this study, we used multi-omics approaches to characterize cellular responses during MNV replication. We demonstrate the activation of pathways related to the integrated stress response, a known driver of anti-inflammatory phenotypes in macrophages. In particular, MNV infection causes an amino acid imbalance that is associated with GCN2 and ATF2 signaling. Importantly, this reprogramming lacks the features of a typical innate immune response, with the ATF/CHOP target GDF15 contributing to the lack of antiviral responses. We propose that MNV-induced metabolic stress supports the establishment of host tolerance to viral replication and propagation. IMPORTANCE During viral infection, host defenses are typically characterized by the secretion of proinflammatory autocrine and paracrine cytokines, potentiation of the interferon (IFN) response, and induction of the antiviral response via activation of JAK and Stat signaling. To avoid these and propagate, viruses have evolved strategies to evade or counteract host sensing. In this study, we demonstrate that murine norovirus controls the antiviral response by activating a metabolic stress response that activates the amino acid response and impairs inflammatory signaling. This highlights novel tools in the viral countermeasures arsenal and demonstrates the importance of the currently poorly understood metabolic reprogramming occurring during viral infections.

Abstract
Neddylation, an important type of post-translational modification, has been implicated in innate and adapted immunity. But the role of neddylation in innate immune response against RNA viruses remains elusive. Here we report that neddylation promotes RNA virus-induced type I IFN production, especially IFN-α. More importantly, myeloid deficiency of UBA3 or NEDD8 renders mice less resistant to RNA virus infection. Neddylation is essential for RNA virus-triggered activation of Ifna gene promoters. Further exploration has revealed that mammalian IRF7undergoes neddylation, which is enhanced after RNA virus infection. Even though neddylation blockade does not hinder RNA virus-triggered IRF7 expression, IRF7 mutant defective in neddylation exhibits reduced ability to activate Ifna gene promoters. Neddylation blockade impedes RNA virus-induced IRF7 nuclear translocation without hindering its phosphorylation and dimerization with IRF3. By contrast, IRF7 mutant defective in neddylation shows enhanced dimerization with IRF5, an Ifna repressor when interacting with IRF7. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that myeloid neddylation contributes to host anti-viral innate immunity through targeting IRF7 and promoting its transcriptional activity. With the features of high mutation rates and fast propagation, RNA viruses remain a great challenge for the control and prevention of epidemic. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in host innate immunity against RNA viruses will facilitate the development of anti-viral drugs and vaccines. Neddylation has been implicated in innate and adapted immunity. But the role of neddylation in RNA virus-triggered type I IFN production remains elusive. Here, using mouse models with myeloid deficiency of UBA3 or NEDD8, we report for the first time that neddylation contributes to innate immunity against RNA viruses in mammals. Neddylation is indispensable for RNA virus-induced IFN-α production although its role in IFN-β production is much blunted in macrophages. In mechanism, neddylation directly targets IRF7 and enhances its transcriptional activity through, at least partially, promoting its nuclear translocation and preventing its dimerization with IRF5, an Ifna repressor when interacting with IRF7. Our study provides insight into the regulation of IRF7 and innate immune signaling.

Abstract
Sequence annotation is fundamental for studying the evolution of protein families, particularly when working with nonmodel species. Given the rapid, ever-increasing number of species receiving high-quality genome sequencing, accurate domain modeling that is representative of species diversity is crucial for understanding protein family sequence evolution and their inferred function(s). Here, we describe a bioinformatic tool called Taxon-Informed Adjustment of Markov Model Attributes (TIAMMAt) which revises domain profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) by incorporating homologous domain sequences from underrepresented and nonmodel species. Using innate immunity pathways as a case study, we show that revising profile HMM parameters to directly account for variation in homologs among underrepresented species provides valuable insight into the evolution of protein families. Following adjustment by TIAMMAt, domain profile HMMs exhibit changes in their per-site amino acid state emission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities while maintaining the overall structure of the consensus sequence. Our results show that domain revision can heavily impact evolutionary interpretations for some families (i.e., NLR’s NACHT domain), whereas impact on other domains (e.g., rel homology domain and interferon regulatory factor domains) is minimal due to high levels of sequence conservation across the sampled phylogenetic depth (i.e., Metazoa). Importantly, TIAMMAt revises target domain models to reflect homologous sequence variation using the taxonomic distribution under consideration by the user. TIAMMAt’s flexibility to revise any subset of the Pfam database using a user-defined taxonomic pool will make it a valuable tool for future protein evolution studies, particularly when incorporating (or focusing) on nonmodel species.

Abstract
TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1) is an essential receptor protein required for the innate immune response, but the mechanisms underlying TBK1 stability, especially those regulated via autophagy, remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that USP19 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 19) interacts with and promotes TBK1 lysosomal degradation via chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). We observed that TBK1 had a canonical CMA motif, knocking down key proteins involved in CMA (HSPA8/HSC70 or LAMP2A) or inhibiting CMA-prevented USP19-mediated TBK1 degradation. Furthermore, USP19 deficiency in macrophages caused an elevation of TBK1 and the activation of the type-I interferon signaling pathway after vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. Consistently, macrophage-specific usp19 knockout in mice resulted in attenuated VSV replication and resistance to VSV infection in vivo. Altogether, our results suggest that USP19 is a key regulator of TBK1 and uncovers a previously uncharacterized role for USP19 in CMA-mediated TBK1 degradation and infectious diseases.

Front Immunol 2021; 12:653883. [PMID: 34054816 PMCID: PMC8158815 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.653883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Tight regulation of inflammatory cytokine and interferon (IFN) production in innate immunity is pivotal for optimal control of pathogens and avoidance of immunopathology. The human Nod-like receptor (NLR) NLRP11 has been shown to regulate type I IFN and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses. Here, we identified the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X as a novel binding partner of NLRP11, using co-immunoprecipitation and LC-MS/MS. DDX3X is known to enhance type I IFN responses and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. We demonstrate that NLRP11 can abolish IKKϵ-mediated phosphorylation of DDX3X, resulting in lower type I IFN induction upon viral infection. These effects were dependent on the LRR domain of NLRP11 that we mapped as the interaction domain for DDX3X. In addition, NLRP11 also suppressed NLRP3-mediated caspase-1 activation in an LRR domain-dependent manner, suggesting that NLRP11 might sequester DDX3X and prevent it from promoting NLRP3-induced inflammasome activation. Taken together, our data revealed DDX3X as a central target of NLRP11, which can mediate the effects of NLRP11 on type I IFN induction as well as NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This expands our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying NLRP11 function in innate immunity and suggests that both NLRP11 and DDX3X might be promising targets for modulation of innate immune responses.

Downregulation of microRNA‑221 facilitates H1N1 influenza A virus replication through suppression of type‑IFN response by targeting the SOCS1/NF‑κB pathway. Mol Med Rep 2021; 24:497.

Abstract
Accumulating data has indicated that host microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) play essential roles in innate immune responses to viral infection; however, the roles and the underlying mechanisms of miRNAs in influenza A virus (IAV) replication remain unclear. The present study examined on the effects of miRNAs on hemagglutinin (H)1 neuraminidase (N)1 replication and antiviral innate immunity. Using a microarray assay, the expression profiles of miRNA molecules in IAV-infected A549 cells were analyzed. The results indicated that miR-221 was significantly downregulated in IAV-infected A549 cells. It was also observed that IAV infection decreased the expression levels of miR-221 in A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Functionally, upregulation of miR-221 repressed IAV replication, whereas knockdown of miR-221 had an opposite effect. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that miR-221 overexpression could enhance IAV-triggered IFN-α and IFN-β production and IFN-stimulated gene expression levels, while miR-221-knockdown had the opposite effect. Target prediction and dual luciferase assays indicated that suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) was a direct target of miR-221 in A549 cells. Furthermore, knockdown of SOCS1 efficiently abrogated the influences caused by miR-221 inhibition on IAV replication and the type-I IFN response. It was also found that the miR-221 positively regulated NF-κB activation in IAV-infected A549 cells. Taken together, these data suggested that miR-221-downregulation promotes IAV replication by suppressing type-I IFN response through targeting SOCS1/NF-κB pathway. These findings suggest that miR-221 may serve as a novel potential therapeutic target for IAV treatment.

Selective cell death in HIV-1-infected cells by DDX3 inhibitors leads to depletion of the inducible reservoir. Nat Commun 2021; 12:2475. [PMID: 33931637 PMCID: PMC8087668 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22608-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
An innovative approach to eliminate HIV-1-infected cells emerging out of latency, the major hurdle to HIV-1 cure, is to pharmacologically reactivate viral expression and concomitantly trigger intracellular pro-apoptotic pathways in order to selectively induce cell death (ICD) of infected cells, without reliance on the extracellular immune system. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of DDX3 inhibitors on selectively inducing cell death in latent HIV-1-infected cell lines, primary CD4+ T cells and in CD4+ T cells from cART-suppressed people living with HIV-1 (PLWHIV). We used single-cell FISH-Flow technology to characterise the contribution of viral RNA to inducing cell death. The pharmacological targeting of DDX3 induced HIV-1 RNA expression, resulting in phosphorylation of IRF3 and upregulation of IFNβ. DDX3 inhibition also resulted in the downregulation of BIRC5, critical to cell survival during HIV-1 infection, and selectively induced apoptosis in viral RNA-expressing CD4+ T cells but not bystander cells. DDX3 inhibitor treatment of CD4+ T cells from PLWHIV resulted in an approximately 50% reduction of the inducible latent HIV-1 reservoir by quantitation of HIV-1 RNA, by FISH-Flow, RT-qPCR and TILDA. This study provides proof of concept for pharmacological reversal of latency coupled to induction of apoptosis towards the elimination of the inducible reservoir.

Abstract
The conventional immunoadjuvants in vaccine have weak effect on stimulating antigen presentation and activating anti-tumor immunity. Unexpectedly, we discovered that non-pathogenic Sendai virus (SeV) could activate antigen-presenting cells (APCs) represented by dendritic cells (DCs). Here, we designed an injectable SeV-based hydrogel vaccine (SHV) to execute multi-channel recruitment and stimulation of DCs for boosting the specific immune response against tumors. After the release of the NIR-triggered antigens from tumor cells, dendritic cells around the vaccine efficiently transport the antigens to lymph nodes and present them to T lymphocytes, thereby inducing systemic anti-tumor immune memory. Our findings demonstrated that the SHV with excellent universality, convenience and flexibility has achieved better immune protection effects in inhibiting the occurrence of melanoma and breast cancer. In conclusion, the SHV system might serve as the next generation of personalized anti-tumor vaccines with enhanced features over standard vaccination regimens, and represented an alternative way to suppress tumorigenesis. SeV served as immuneadjuvant can activate APCs through TLR7/8 and TLR3 pathways. Non-pathogenic SeV in the injectable hydrogel vaccine recruit and activate DCs. Tumor cells acted as an “antigen library” to release all antigens by NIR-trigger. Fragmented DNA from tumor cells after photothermal damage activated STING pathway. The synergy effect of SHV and aOX40 greatly enhanced anti-tumor immune memory.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B is a major health problem worldwide, with more than 250 million chronic carriers. Hepatitis B virus interferes with the host innate immune system so as to evade elimination via almost all of its constituent proteins; nevertheless, the function of HBsAg with respect to immune escape remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the role HBsAg plays in assisting HBV to escape from immune responses. We found that HBsAg suppressed the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) pathway, leading to downregulation of innate immune responses. HBsAg interacted with TAK1 and TAB2 specifically, inhibiting the phosphorylation and polyubiquitination of TAK1 and the K63-linked polyubiquitination of TAB2. Autophagy is a major catabolic process participating in many cellular processes, including the life cycle of HBV. We found that HBsAg promoted the autophagic degradation of TAK1 and TAB2 via the formation of complexes with TAK1 and TAB2, resulting in suppression of the NF-κB pathway. The expression of TAK1, TAB2, and the translocation of NF-κB inversely correlated with HBsAg levels in clinical liver tissues. Taken together, our findings suggest a novel mechanism by which HBsAg interacts with TAK1-TAB2 complex and suppresses the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway via reduction of the post-translational modifications and autophagic degradation.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by sepsis contributes remarkably to the high mortality rate observed in intensive care units, largely due to a lack of effective drug therapies. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a class-IIb deacetylase that modulates non-nuclear protein functions via deacetylation and ubiquitination. Importantly, HDAC6 has been shown to exert anti-cancer, anti-neurodegeneration, and immunological effects, and several HDAC6 inhibitors have now entered clinical trials. It has also been recently shown to modulate inflammation, and HDAC6 inhibition has been demonstrated to markedly suppress experimental sepsis. The present review summarizes the role of HDAC6 in sepsis-induced inflammation and endothelial barrier dysfunction in recent years. It is proposed that HDAC6 inhibition predominantly ameliorates sepsis-induced ARDS by directly attenuating inflammation, which modulates the innate and adaptive immunity, transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, and protects endothelial barrier function. HDAC6 inhibition protects against sepsis-induced ARDS, thereby making HDAC6 a promising therapeutic target. However, HDAC inhibition may be associated with adverse effects on the embryo sac and oocyte, necessitating further studies.

Abstract
Mitochondria not only serve as a platform for innate immune signaling transduction but also enhance immune responses by releasing mitochondrial DNA and RNA into the cytoplasm. However, whether mitochondrial matrix proteins could be liberated and involved in immune responses remains enigmatic. Here, we identify the mitochondrial protein ERA G-protein-like 1 (ERAL1) as a mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS)-interacting protein by using proximity-based labeling technology. ERAL1 deficiency markedly reduces the downstream antiviral signaling triggered by RNA viruses. Moreover, ERAL1-deficient mice are more susceptible to lethality following RNA virus infection than wild-type mice. After virus infection, ERAL1 is released from mitochondria through the BAX/BAK pore. The cytosolic ERAL1 facilitates lysine 63 (K63)-linked ubiquitination of retinoicacid inducible gene-1 (RIG-I)/melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) and promotes downstream MAVS polymerization, thus positively regulating antiviral responses.

Abstract
The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the major intracellular and non-lysosomal protein degradation system. Thanks to its unique capacity of eliminating old, damaged, misfolded, and/or regulatory proteins in a highly specific manner, the UPS is virtually involved in almost all aspects of eukaryotic life. The critical importance of the UPS is particularly visible in immune cells which undergo a rapid and profound functional remodelling upon pathogen recognition. Innate and/or adaptive immune activation is indeed characterized by a number of substantial changes impacting various cellular processes including protein homeostasis, signal transduction, cell proliferation, and antigen processing which are all tightly regulated by the UPS. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which the UPS contributes to the generation of an adequate immune response. In this regard, we also discuss the consequences of UPS dysfunction and its role in the pathogenesis of recently described immune disorders including cancer and auto-inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Low shear stress (LSS) plays a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques and vascular inflammation. Previous studies have reported Akt phosphorylation induced by LSS. However, the mechanism and role of Akt activation remains unclear in LSS-induced endothelial dysfunction. In this study, our results demonstrated the increased phosphorylation of IKKε, TBK1 and Akt in HUVECs exposed to LSS. Furthermore, IKKε silencing using small interfering RNAs significantly reduced LSS-induced Akt phosphorylation. In contrast, silencing of TBK1 or inhibition of PI3K and mTORC2 had no effect on LSS-induced Akt phosphorylation. Notably, Akt inhibition markedly diminished LSS-induced expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and MCP-1, as well as LSS-induced IRF3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, without affecting the activation of NF-κB and STAT1. Moreover, endothelial cell specific Akt overexpression mediated by adeno-associated virus markedly increased intimal ICAM-1 and IRF3 expression at LSS area of partially ligated carotid artery in mice. In brief, our findings suggest that LSS-induced Akt phosphorylation is positively regulated by IKKε and promotes IRF3 activation, leading to endothelial inflammation.

Abstract
RNA virus infection activates the RIG-I-like Receptor (RLR) signaling pathway to produce type I interferons (IFNs), the key components of the antiviral immune response. Forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) is a host transcription factor that participates in multiple biological processes. In this study, FoxO1 was identified as a critical negative regulator of RIG-I-triggered signaling. FoxO1 promoted Sendai virus (SeV) replication and downregulated type I IFN production. Upon SeV infection, FoxO1 suppressed K63-linked ubiquitination of TRAF3 and the interaction between TRAF3 and TBK1, after which the production of type I IFNs via the interferon regulatory transcription factor 3 (IRF3) pathways was reduced. In addition, FoxO1 destabilized IRF3 by facilitating E3 ligase TRIM22- or TRIM21-mediated K48-linked ubiquitination of IRF3. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of FoxO1 was found to depend on its DNA binding domain (DBD). Thus, our findings highlight novel important roles of FoxO1 in controlling RLR-mediated antiviral innate immunity.

Viral pathogen-induced mechanisms to antagonize mammalian interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. Cell Mol Life Sci 2020; 78:1423-1444. [PMID: 33084946 PMCID: PMC7576986 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-020-03671-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Antiviral responses of interferons (IFNs) are crucial in the host immune response, playing a relevant role in controlling viralw infections. Three types of IFNs, type I (IFN-α, IFN-β), II (IFN-γ) and III (IFN-λ), are classified according to their receptor usage, mode of induction, biological activity and amino acid sequence. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of type I IFN responses and different mechanisms that viruses employ to circumvent this response. In the first part, we will give an overview of the different induction and signaling cascades induced in the cell by IFN-I after virus encounter. Next, highlights of some of the mechanisms used by viruses to counteract the IFN induction will be described. And finally, we will address different mechanism used by viruses to interference with the IFN signaling cascade and the blockade of IFN induced antiviral activities.

Antiviral activity of a polysaccharide from Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fortune) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in vitro via activation of JAK/STAT signal pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 257:112782. [PMID: 32217096 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection frequently results in both acute and chronic hepatitis and poses serious threats to human health worldwide. Despite the availability of effective HBV vaccine and anti-HBV drugs, apparently inevitable side effects and resistance have limited its efficiency, thus prompt the search for new anti-HBV agents. The traditional Chinese medicine Radix Isatidis has been used for thousands of years, mainly for the treatment of viral and bacterial infection diseases including hepatitis. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, antiviral activities of a Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fortune) polysaccharide (RIP) were evaluated in vitro model using the HepG2.2.15 cell line and the underlying mechanism was elucidated with the aim of developing a novel anti-HBV therapeutic agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS Structure features of the purified polysaccharide RIP were investigated by a combination of chemical and instrumental analysis. Drug cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT assay. The contents of HBsAg, HBeAg, intracellular and extracellular IFN-α level were measured using respective commercially available ELISA kit. The HBV DNA expression was evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the relevant proteins involved in TFN/JAK/STAT signaling pathways were examined by western blot assay. RESULTS MTT assay showed that RIP had no toxicity on HepG2.2.15 cell line below the concentration 400 μg/ml at Day 3, 6 and 9. Furthermore, RIP at the concentration of 50, 100 and 200 μg/ml significantly reduced extracellular and intracellular level of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA in HepG2.2.15 cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, RIP also enhanced the production of IFN-α in HepG2.2.15 cell via activation of JAK/STAT signal pathway and induction of antiviral proteins, as evidenced by the increased protein expression of p-STAT-1, p-STAT-2, p-JAK1, p-TYK2, OAS1, and Mx in HepG2.2.15 cells. In addition, the over expression of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 was significantly abolished under same conditions. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that the HBV inhibitory effect of RIP was possibly due to the activation of IFN-α-dependent JAK/STAT signal pathway and induction of the anti-HBV protein expression.

Characterization of a Novel Compound That Stimulates STING-Mediated Innate Immune Activity in an Allele-Specific Manner. Front Immunol 2020; 11:1430.

Abstract
The innate immune response to cytosolic DNA involves transcriptional activation of type I interferons (IFN-I) and proinflammatory cytokines. This represents the culmination of intracellular signaling pathways that are initiated by pattern recognition receptors that engage DNA and require the adaptor protein Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING). These responses lead to the generation of cellular and tissue states that impair microbial replication and facilitate the establishment of long-lived, antigen-specific adaptive immunity. Ultimately this can lead to immune-mediated protection from infection but also to the cytotoxic T cell-mediated clearance of tumor cells. Intriguingly, pharmacologic activation of STING-dependent phenotypes is known to enhance both vaccine-associated immunogenicity and immune-based anti-tumor therapies. Unfortunately, the STING protein exists as multiple variant forms in the human population that exhibit differences in their reactivity to chemical stimuli and in the intensity of molecular signaling they induce. In light of this, STING-targeting drug discovery efforts require an accounting of protein variant-specific activity. Herein we describe a small molecule termed M04 that behaves as a novel agonist of human STING. Importantly, we find that the molecule exhibits a differential ability to activate STING based on the allelic variant examined. Furthermore, while M04 is inactive in mice, expression of human STING in mouse cells rescues reactivity to the compound. Using primary human cells in ex vivo assays we were also able to show that M04 is capable of simulating innate responses important for adaptive immune activation such as cytokine secretion, dendritic cell maturation, and T cell cross-priming. Collectively, this work demonstrates the conceivable utility of a novel agonist of human STING both as a research tool for exploring STING biology and as an immune potentiating molecule.

Abstract
Mammalian interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats family proteins (IFITs) play important roles in host innate immune response to viruses. Recently, studies have shown that IFIT from poultry also plays a crucial part in antiviral function. This study first reports the regulation of duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) replication by IFIT5 and the effect of duck IFIT5 (duIFIT5) on the innate immune response after DTMUV infection. Firstly, duIFIT5 was obviously increased in duck embryo fibroblast cells (DEFs) infected with DTMUV. Compared to the negative control, we found that in the duIFIT5-overexpressing group, the DTMUV titer at 24 h post infection (hpi) was significantly reduced, but the viral titer was strikingly increased at 48 hpi. Moreover, overexpression of duIFIT5 could significantly inhibit IFN-β transcription and IFN-β promoter activation at indicated time points after DTMUV infection. Further, in DTMUV-infected or poly(I:C)-stimulated DEFs, overexpression of duIFIT5 also significantly inhibited the activation of NF-κB and IRF7 promoters, as well as the activation of downstream IFN induced the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) promoter. Meanwhile, the transcription level of antiviral protein Mx, but not OASL, was obviously decreased at various time points. The opposite results were obtained by knockdown of duIFIT5 in DTMUV-infected or poly(I:C)-stimulated DEFs. Compared to the negative control, knockdown of duIFIT5 promoted DTMUV titer and DTMUV envelope (E) protein expression at 24 hpi, but DTMUV titer and E protein expression was markedly decreased at 48 hpi. Additionally, the promoters of IFN-β, NF-κB, IRF7 and ISRE were significantly activated in the duIFIT5 knockdown group. Collectively, duIFIT5 differentially regulates DTMUV replication and inhibits virus-triggered innate immune response.

High Throughput Screening of FDA-Approved Drug Library Reveals the Compounds that Promote IRF3-Mediated Pro-Apoptotic Pathway Inhibit Virus Replication. Viruses 2020; 12:v12040442.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is the key transcription factor for the induction of IFN and antiviral genes. The absence of antiviral genes in IRF3 deficiency leads to susceptibility to a wide range of viral infections. Previously, we uncovered a function for nontranscriptional IRF3 (nt-IRF3), RLR (RIG-I-like receptor)-induced IRF3-mediated pathway of apoptosis (RIPA), which triggers apoptotic killing of virus-infected cells. Using knock-in mice expressing a transcriptionally inactive, but RIPA-active, IRF3 mutant, we demonstrated the relative contribution of RIPA to host antiviral defense. Given that RIPA is a cellular antiviral pathway, we hypothesized that small molecules that promote RIPA in virus-infected cells would act as antiviral agents. To test this, we conducted a high throughput screen of a library of FDA-approved drugs to identify novel RIPA activators. Our screen identified doxorubicin as a potent RIPA-activating agent. In support of our hypothesis, doxorubicin inhibited the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus, a model rhabdovirus, and its antiviral activity depended on its ability to activate IRF3 in RIPA. Surprisingly, doxorubicin inhibited the transcriptional activity of IRF3. The antiviral activity of doxorubicin was expanded to flavivirus and herpesvirus that also activate IRF3. Mechanistically, doxorubicin promoted RIPA by activating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. Finally, we validated these results using another RIPA-activating compound, pyrvinium pamoate, which showed a similar antiviral effect without affecting the transcriptional activity of IRF3. Therefore, we demonstrate that the RIPA branch of IRF3 can be targeted therapeutically to prevent virus infection.

Abstract
Viral replication and related protein expression inside the host cells, and host antiviral immune responses can lead to the occurrence of diverse diseases. With the outbreak of viral infection, a large number of newly diagnosed and died patients infected with various viruses are still reported every year. Viral infection has already been one of the major global public health issues and lead to huge economic and social burdens. Studying of viral pathogenesis is a very important way to find methods for prevention, diagnosis, and cure of viral infection; more evidence has confirmed that major vault protein (MVP) is closely associated with viral infection and pathogenesis, and this review is intended to provide a broad relationship between viruses and MVP to stimulate the interest of related researchers.

Abstract
Upon detection of viral DNA, the cytoplasmic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) utilizes GTP and ATP as substrates to synthesize the second messenger molecule 2'3'cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which binds to the ER-associated adaptor protein MITA/STING to signal innate antiviral response to DNA virus. How the cGAS-MITA pathways are post-translationally regulated is not fully understood. In this study, we identified the tyrosine kinase CSK as a positive regulator of cGAS-MITA mediated innate antiviral response. CSK-deficiency inhibits DNA virus-triggered induction of downstream antiviral effector genes. Following DNA virus infection, CSK phosphorylates MITA at Y240 and Y245, which is important for its activation. These results suggest that CSK plays a role in modulating innate immune response to DNA virus.

Abstract
The virus-induced signaling adaptor (VISA) complex plays a critical role in the innate immune response to RNA viruses. However, the mechanism of VISA complex formation remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that thioredoxin 2 (TRX2) interacts with VISA at mitochondria both in vivo and in vitro Knockdown and knockout of TRX2 enhanced the formation of the VISA-associated complex, as well as virus-triggered activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and transcription of the interferon beta 1 (IFNB1) gene. TRX2 inhibits the formation of VISA aggregates by repressing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby disrupting the assembly of the VISA complex. Furthermore, our data suggest that the C93 residue of TRX2 is essential for inhibition of VISA aggregation, whereas the C283 residue of VISA is required for VISA aggregation. Collectively, these findings uncover a novel mechanism of TRX2 that negatively regulates VISA complex formation.IMPORTANCE The VISA-associated complex plays pivotal roles in inducing type I interferons (IFNs) and eliciting the innate antiviral response. Many host proteins are identified as VISA-associated-complex proteins, but how VISA complex formation is regulated by host proteins remains enigmatic. We identified the TRX2 protein as an important regulator of VISA complex formation. Knockout of TRX2 increases virus- or poly(I·C)-triggered induction of type I IFNs at the VISA level. Mechanistically, TRX2 inhibits the production of ROS at its C93 site, which impairs VISA aggregates at its C283 site, and subsequently impedes the assembly of the VISA complex. Our findings suggest that TRX2 plays an important role in the regulation of VISA complex assembly.

Abstract
MDA5 belongs to the RIG-I-like receptor family, which is involved in innate immunity. During viral infection, MDA5 generates an antiviral response by recognizing the ligand to activate interferon. However, the role and mechanism of MDA5 in canine influenza virus (CIV) infection are unclear. To understand the mechanism of canine MDA5-mediated innate immunity during CIV infection, we detected the distribution of MDA5 in beagles, and the structural prediction showed that MDA5 was mainly composed of a CARD domain, RD domain, and DExD/H helix structure. Moreover, we found that MDA5 inhibits CIV replication. Furthermore, in the dual luciferase assay, we revealed that the CARD region of MDA5 strongly activated the IFN-β promoter and mainly transmitted signals through the CARD region. Overexpression of the CARD region of MDA5 revealed that the MDA5-mediated signaling pathway could transmit signals by activating the IRF3/NF-κB and IRF3 promoters, promoting the expression of antiviral proteins and cytokine release, thereby inhibiting CIV replication. Upon silencing of MDA5, cytokine production decreased, while the replication ability of CIV was increased. Thus, this study revealed a novel mechanism by which MDA5 mediated CIV infection and provided new avenues for the development of antiviral strategies.

Abstract
The innate immune response following infection with entero-invasive bacterial species is triggered upon release of cyclic di-guanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) into the host cell cytosol. Bacterial c-di-GMP activates the intracellular Sensor Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING), encoded by Tmem173 in mice. Here we identify Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) 1 as a critical effector of STING-mediated microbial DNA sensing that is responsible for TH17 cell generation in the mucosal immune system. We find that STING activation induces IRF1-dependent transcriptional programs in dendritic cells (DCs) that define T cell fate determination, including induction of Gasdermin D, IL-1 family member cytokines, and enzymes for eicosanoid synthesis. Our results show that IRF1-dependent transcriptional programs in DCs are a prerequisite for antigen-specific TH17 subspecification in response to microbial c-di-GMP and Salmonella typhimurium infection. Our identification of a STING-IRF1 signaling axis for adaptive host defense control will aid further understanding of infectious disease mechanisms.

Abstract
The kinase TBK1 responds to microbial stimuli and mediates type I interferon (IFN-I) induction. We show that TBK1 is also a central mediator of growth factor signaling; this function relies on a specific adaptor, TBK-binding protein 1 (TBKBP1). TBKBP1 recruits TBK1 to PKCθ via a scaffold protein, Card10, which allows PKCθ to phosphorylate TBK1 at serine-716, a crucial step for TBK1 activation by growth factors but not by innate immune stimuli. While the TBK1/TBKBP1 signaling axis is dispensable for IFN-I induction, it mediates mTORC1 activation and oncogenesis. Lung epithelial cell-conditional deletion of either TBK1 or TBKBP1 inhibits tumorigenesis in a mouse model of lung cancer. In addition to promoting tumor growth, the TBK1/TBKBP1 axis facilitates tumor-mediated immunosuppression by a mechanism involving induction of the checkpoint molecule PD-L1 and stimulation of glycolysis. These findings suggest a PKCθ-TBKBP1-TBK1 growth factor signaling axis mediating both tumor growth and immunosuppression.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne arbovirus that causes febrile illness and can lead to a potentially lethal disease. The mechanism of disease pathogenesis is not completely understood, and there are currently no vaccines or therapeutic drugs available to protect against all four serotypes of DENV. Although many reasons have been suggested for the development of the disease, dengue studies have shown that, during DENV infection, there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants that disrupts homeostasis. An increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels triggers the sudden release of cytokines, which can lead to plasma leakage and other severe symptoms. In the present review, we give an overview of the oxidative stress response and its effect on the progression of dengue disease. We also discuss the role of oxidative-stress-associated molecules in disease prognostic and therapeutics.

Abstract
Resistance to oncolytic virotherapy is frequently associated with failure of tumor cells to get infected by the virus. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a common treatment for psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, also has anticancer properties. We show that DMF and various fumaric and maleic acid esters (FMAEs) enhance viral infection of cancer cell lines as well as human tumor biopsies with several oncolytic viruses (OVs), improving therapeutic outcomes in resistant syngeneic and xenograft tumor models. This results in durable responses, even in models otherwise refractory to OV and drug monotherapies. The ability of DMF to enhance viral spread results from its ability to inhibit type I interferon (IFN) production and response, which is associated with its blockade of nuclear translocation of the transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). This study demonstrates that unconventional application of U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs and biological agents can result in improved anticancer therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants <2 years-old. Here we describe that high-fiber diet protects mice from RSV infection. This effect was dependent on intestinal microbiota and production of acetate. Oral administration of acetate mediated interferon-β (IFN-β) response by increasing expression of interferon-stimulated genes in the lung. These effects were associated with reduction of viral load and pulmonary inflammation in RSV-infected mice. Type 1 IFN signaling via the IFN-1 receptor (IFNAR) was essential for acetate antiviral activity in pulmonary epithelial cell lines and for the acetate protective effect in RSV-infected mice. Activation of Gpr43 in pulmonary epithelial cells reduced virus-induced cytotoxicity and promoted antiviral effects through IFN-β response. The effect of acetate on RSV infection was abolished in Gpr43−/− mice. Our findings reveal antiviral effects of acetate involving IFN-β in lung epithelial cells and engagement of GPR43 and IFNAR. Dietary fibers and SCFAs can exert a protective effect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Here, the authors report that microbiota-derived acetate protects mice against RSV infection via GPR43- mediated type 1 interferon response induction in the lungs.

Abstract
This chapter describes the various strategies filoviruses use to escape host immune responses with a focus on innate immune and cell death pathways. Since filovirus replication can be efficiently blocked by interferon (IFN), filoviruses have evolved mechanisms to counteract both type I IFN induction and IFN response signaling pathways. Intriguingly, marburg- and ebolaviruses use different strategies to inhibit IFN signaling. This chapter also summarizes what is known about the role of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in filovirus infection. These fall into three categories: those that restrict filovirus replication, those whose activation is inhibited by filoviruses, and those that have no measurable effect on viral replication. In addition to innate immunity, mammalian cells have evolved strategies to counter viral infections, including the induction of cell death and stress response pathways, and we summarize our current knowledge of how filoviruses interact with these pathways. Finally, this chapter delves into the interaction of EBOV with myeloid dendritic cells and macrophages and the associated inflammatory response, which differs dramatically between these cell types when they are infected with EBOV. In summary, we highlight the multifaceted nature of the host-viral interactions during filoviral infections.

Abstract
Background Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infectious disease caused by tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). TBEV infection is responsible for a variety of clinical manifestations ranging from mild fever to severe neurological illness. Genetic factors involved in the host response to TBEV that may potentially play a role in the severity of the disease are still poorly understood. In this study, using whole-exome sequencing, we aimed to identify genetic variants and genes associated with severe forms of TBE as well as biological pathways through which the identified variants may influence the severity of the disease. Results Whole-exome sequencing data analysis was performed on 22 Russian patients with severe forms of TBE and 17 Russian individuals from the control group. We identified 2407 candidate genes harboring rare, potentially pathogenic variants in exomes of patients with TBE and not containing any rare, potentially pathogenic variants in exomes of individuals from the control group. According to DAVID tool, this set of 2407 genes was enriched with genes involved in extracellular matrix proteoglycans pathway and genes encoding proteins located at the cell periphery. A total of 154 genes/proteins from these functional groups have been shown to be involved in protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with the known candidate genes/proteins extracted from TBEVHostDB database. By ranking these genes according to the number of rare harmful minor alleles, we identified two genes (MSR1 and LMO7), harboring five minor alleles, and three genes (FLNA, PALLD, PKD1) harboring four minor alleles. When considering genes harboring genetic variants associated with severe forms of TBE at the suggestive P-value < 0.01, 46 genes containing harmful variants were identified. Out of these 46 genes, eight (MAP4, WDFY4, ACTRT2, KLHL25, MAP2K3, MBD1, OR10J1, and OR2T34) were additionally found among genes containing rare pathogenic variants identified in patients with TBE; and five genes (WDFY4,ALK, MAP4, BNIPL, EPPK1) were found to encode proteins that are involved in PPIs with proteins encoded by genes from TBEVHostDB. Three genes out of five (MAP4, EPPK1, ALK) were found to encode proteins located at cell periphery. Conclusions Whole-exome sequencing followed by systems biology approach enabled to identify eight candidate genes (MAP4, WDFY4, ACTRT2, KLHL25, MAP2K3, MBD1, OR10J1, and OR2T34) that can potentially determine predisposition to severe forms of TBE. Analyses of the genetic risk factors for severe forms of TBE revealed a significant enrichment with genes controlling extracellular matrix proteoglycans pathway as well as genes encoding components of cell periphery.

Abstract
Although viral infections elicit robust interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and long-lived antibody-secreting cell (ASC) responses, the roles for IFN-γ and IFN-γ-induced transcription factors (TFs) in ASC development are unclear. We showed that B cell intrinsic expression of IFN-γR and the IFN-γ-induced TF T-bet were required for T-helper 1 cell-induced differentiation of B cells into ASCs. IFN-γR signaling induced Blimp1 expression in B cells but also initiated an inflammatory gene program that, if not restrained, prevented ASC formation. T-bet did not affect Blimp1 upregulation in IFN-γ-activated B cells but instead regulated chromatin accessibility within the Ifng and Ifngr2 loci and repressed the IFN-γ-induced inflammatory gene program. Consistent with this, B cell intrinsic T-bet was required for formation of long-lived ASCs and secondary ASCs following viral, but not nematode, infection. Therefore, T-bet facilitates differentiation of IFN-γ-activated inflammatory effector B cells into ASCs in the setting of IFN-γ-, but not IL-4-, induced inflammatory responses.

Unique Interferon Pathway Regulation by the Andes Virus Nucleocapsid Protein Is Conferred by Phosphorylation of Serine 386. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.00338-19. [PMID: 30867297 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00338-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 02/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Andes virus (ANDV) causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and is the only hantavirus shown to spread person to person and cause a highly lethal HPS-like disease in Syrian hamsters. The unique ability of ANDV N protein to inhibit beta interferon (IFNβ) induction may contribute to its virulence and spread. Here we analyzed IFNβ regulation by ANDV N protein substituted with divergent residues from the nearly identical Maporal virus (MAPV) N protein. We found that MAPV N fails to inhibit IFNβ signaling and that replacing ANDV residues 252 to 296 with a hypervariable domain (HVD) from MAPV N prevents IFNβ regulation. In addition, changing ANDV residue S386 to the histidine present in MAPV N or the alanine present in other hantaviruses prevented ANDV N from regulating IFNβ induction. In contrast, replacing serine with phosphoserine-mimetic aspartic acid (S386D) in ANDV N robustly inhibited interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) phosphorylation and IFNβ induction. Additionally, the MAPV N protein gained the ability to inhibit IRF3 phosphorylation and IFNβ induction when ANDV HVD and H386D replaced MAPV residues. Mass spectroscopy analysis of N protein from ANDV-infected cells revealed that S386 is phosphorylated, newly classifying ANDV N as a phosphoprotein and phosphorylated S386 as a unique determinant of IFN regulation. In this context, the finding that the ANDV HVD is required for IFN regulation by S386 but dispensable for IFN regulation by D386 suggests a role for HVD in kinase recruitment and S386 phosphorylation. These findings delineate elements within the ANDV N protein that can be targeted to attenuate ANDV and suggest targeting cellular kinases as potential ANDV therapeutics.IMPORTANCE ANDV contains virulence determinants that uniquely permit it to spread person to person and cause highly lethal HPS in immunocompetent hamsters. We discovered that ANDV S386 and an ANDV-specific hypervariable domain permit ANDV N to inhibit IFN induction and that IFN regulation is directed by phosphomimetic S386D substitutions in ANDV N. In addition, MAPV N proteins containing D386 and ANDV HVD gained the ability to inhibit IFN induction. Validating these findings, mass spectroscopy analysis revealed that S386 of ANDV N protein is uniquely phosphorylated during ANDV infection. Collectively, these findings reveal new paradigms for ANDV N protein as a phosphoprotein and IFN pathway regulator and suggest new mechanisms for hantavirus regulation of cellular kinases and signaling pathways. Our findings define novel IFN-regulating virulence determinants of ANDV, identify residues that can be modified to attenuate ANDV for vaccine development, and suggest the potential for kinase inhibitors to therapeutically restrict ANDV replication.

Abstract
Interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFITs) are a family of proteins strongly induced downstream of type I interferon signaling. The function of IFITs has been investigated extensively in mammals. IFIT5 is the sole protein in this family found in birds and little information is available about the function of avian IFIT5. In this study, duck IFIT5 was cloned from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Multiple amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that duck IFIT5 is highly homologous to chicken IFIT5. Tissue specificity analysis demonstrated that duck IFIT5 was ubiquitously expressed in all examined tissues of five-day-old ducklings, with the highest expression levels in heart, followed by thymus, cerebrum, liver, and lung; kidney expressed the lowest. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that duck IFIT5 expression rapidly increased both in vitro and in vivo after stimulation with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)] and infection with virulent duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3), respectively. Altogether, these results indicate that the expression of duck IFIT5 is positively correlated with viral load and may play an important role in the immune response to DHAV-3 infection. This study lays a foundation for further research into the innate antiviral immune responses of ducklings.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) caused millions of infections around the world annually. Co-infection with different serotypes of DENV is associated with dengue hemorrhagic shock syndrome, leading to an estimate of 50% death rate. No approved therapies are currently available for the treatment of DENV infection. Hence, novel anti-DENV agents are urgently needed for medical therapy. Here we demonstrated that a natural product (2 R,4 R)-1,2,4-trihydroxyheptadec-16-yne (THHY), extracted from avocado (Persea americana) fruit, can inhibit DENV-2 replication in a concentration-dependent manner and efficiently suppresses replication of all DENV serotypes (1–4). We further reveal that the NF-κB-mediated interferon antiviral response contributes to the inhibitory effect of THHY on DENV replication. Using a DENV-infected ICR suckling mouse model, we found that THHY treatment caused an increased survival rate among mice infected with DENV. Collectively, these findings support THHY as a potential agent to control DENV infection.

Abstract
Viral infection activates the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), which plays a critical role in the induction of IFNs and innate antiviral immune response. How virus-induced IFN signaling is controlled in fish is not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1a (NDRG1a) in zebrafish plays a role as a negative regulator for virus-triggered IFN induction. First, the activation of the IFN promoter stimulated by the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid or spring viremia of carp virus was decreased by the overexpression of NDRG1a. Second, NDRG1a interacted with IRF7 and blocked the IFN transcription activated by IRF7. Furthermore, NDRG1a was phosphorylated by TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and promoted the K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of IRF7. Finally, the overexpression of NDRG1a blunted the transcription of several IFN-stimulated genes, resulting in the host cells becoming susceptible to spring viremia of carp virus infection. Our findings suggest that fish NDRG1a negatively regulates the cellular antiviral response by targeting IRF7 for ubiquitination and degradation, providing insights into the novel role of NDRG1a on the innate antiviral immune response in fish.
