[PMID: 38031182 PMCID: PMC10687850 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03579-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have regenerative and immunomodulatory properties, making them suitable for cell therapy. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in MSCs respond to viral load by secreting immunosuppressive or proinflammatory molecules. The expression of anti-inflammatory molecules in MSCs can be altered by the concentration and duration of exposure to the TLR3 ligand polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). This study aimed to optimize the preconditioning of MSCs with poly(I:C) to increase immunosuppressive effects and to identify MSCs with activated TLR3 (prMSCs). METHODS Flow cytometry and histochemical staining were used to analyze MSCs for immunophenotype and differentiation potential. MSCs were exposed to poly(I:C) at 1 and 10 μg/mL for 1, 3, and 24 h, followed by determination of the expression of IDO1, WARS1, PD-L1, TSG-6, and PTGES2 and PGE2 secretion. MSCs and prMSCs were cocultured with intact (J-) and activated (J+) Jurkat T cells. The proportion of proliferating and apoptotic J+ and J- cells, IL-10 secretion, and IL-2 production after cocultivation with MSCs and prMSCs were measured. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis identified proteins linked to TLR3 activation in MSCs. RESULTS Poly(I:C) at 10 μg/mL during a 3-h incubation caused the highest expression of immunosuppression markers in MSCs. Activation of prMSCs caused a 18% decrease in proliferation and a one-third increase in apoptotic J+ cells compared to intact MSCs. Cocultures of prMSCs and Jurkat cells had increased IL-10 and decreased IL-2 in the conditioned medium. A proteomic study of MSCs and prMSCs identified 53 proteins with altered expression. Filtering the dataset with Gene Ontology and Reactome Pathway revealed that poly(I:C)-induced proteins activate the antiviral response. Protein‒protein interactions by String in prMSCs revealed that the antiviral response and IFN I signaling circuits were more active than in native MSCs. prMSCs expressed more cell adhesion proteins (ICAM-I and Galectin-3), PARP14, PSMB8, USP18, and GBP4, which may explain their anti-inflammatory effects on Jurkat cells. CONCLUSIONS TLR3 activation in MSCs is dependent on exposure time and poly(I:C) concentration. The maximum expression of immunosuppressive molecules was observed with 10 µg/mL poly(I:C) for 3-h preconditioning. This priming protocol for MSCs enhances the immunosuppressive effects of prMSCs on T cells.

PSMB4 Degrades the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Nsp1α Protein via the Autolysosome Pathway and Induces the Production of Type I Interferon. J Virol 2023; 97:e0026423. [PMID: 36943051 PMCID: PMC10134815 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00264-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes respiratory disease in pigs of all ages and reproductive failure in sows, resulting in great economic losses to the swine industry. In this work, we identified the interaction between PSMB4 and PRRSV Nsp1α by yeast two-hybrid screening. The PSMB4-Nsp1α interaction was further confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown, and laser confocal experiments. The PCPα domain (amino acids 66 to 166) of Nsp1α and the C-terminal domain (amino acids 250 to 264) of PSMB4 were shown to be critical for the PSMB4-Nsp1α interaction. PSMB4 overexpression reduced PRRSV replication, whereas PSMB4 knockdown elicited opposing effects. Mechanistically, PSMB4 targeted K169 in Nsp1α for K63-linked ubiquitination and targeted Nsp1α for autolysosomal degradation by interacting with LC3 to enhance the activation of the lysosomal pathway. Meanwhile, we found that PSMB4 activated the NF-κB signaling pathway to produce type I interferons by downregulating the expression of IκBα and p-IκBα. In conclusion, our data revealed a new mechanism of PSMB4-mediated restriction of PRRSV replication, whereby PSMB4 was found to induce Nsp1α degradation and type I interferon expression, in order to impede the replication of PRRSV. IMPORTANCE In the swine industry, PRRSV is a continuous threat, and the current vaccines are not effective enough to block it. This study determined that PSMB4 plays an antiviral role against PRRSV. PSMB4 was found to interact with PRRSV Nsp1α, mediate K63-linked ubiquitination of Nsp1α at K169, and thus trigger its degradation via the lysosomal pathway. Additionally, PSMB4 activated the NF-κB signaling pathway to produce type I interferons by downregulating the expression of IκBα and p-IκBα. This study extends our understanding of the proteasome subunit PSMB4 against PRRSV replication and will contribute to the development of new antiviral strategies.

American-Asian- and African lineages of Zika virus induce differential pro-inflammatory and Interleukin 27-dependent antiviral responses in human monocytes. Virus Res 2023; 325:199040. [PMID: 36610657 PMCID: PMC10194209 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2023.199040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus that belongs to the Flaviviridae family and inflammatory responses play a critical role in ZIKV pathogenesis. As a first-line defense, monocytes are key components of innate immunity and host response to viruses. Monocytes are considered the earliest blood cell type to be infected by ZIKV and have been shown to be associated with ZIKV pathogenesis. The first ZIKV epidemic was reported in Africa and Asia although, it is less well known whether African- and Asian- lineages of ZIKV have different impacts on host immune response. We studied the pro-inflammatory and antiviral response of ZIKV-infected monocytes using publicly available RNA-seq analysis (GSE103114). We compared the transcriptomic profiles of human monocytes infected with ZIKV Puerto Rico strain (PRVABC59), American-Asian lineage, and ZIKV Nigeria strain (IBH30656), African lineage. We validated RNA-seq results by ELISA or RT-qPCR, in human monocytes infected with a clinical isolate of ZIKV from Colombia (American-Asian lineage), or with ZIKV from Dakar (African lineage). The transcriptomic analysis showed that ZIKV Puerto Rico strain promotes a higher pro-inflammatory response through TLR2 signaling and NF-kB activation and induces a strong IL27-dependent antiviral activity than ZIKV Nigeria strain. Furthermore, human monocytes are more susceptible to infection with ZIKV from Colombia than ZIKV from Dakar. Likewise, Colombian ZIKV isolate activated IL27 signaling and induced a robust antiviral response in an IFN-independent manner. Moreover, we show that treatment of monocytes with IL27 results in decreased release of ZIKV particles in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 =2.870 ng/mL for ZIKV from Colombia and EC50 =10.23 ng/mL to ZIKV from Dakar. These findings highlight the differential inflammatory response and antiviral activity of monocytes infected with different lineages of ZIKV and may help better management of ZIKV-infected patients.

NLRC3 attenuates antiviral immunity and activates inflammasome responses in primary grouper brain cells following nervous necrosis virus infection. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 127:219-227.

Abstract
NLRC3 is identified as a unique regulatory NLR involved in the modulation of cellular processes and inflammatory responses. In this study, a novel Nod like receptor C3 (NLRC3) was functionally characterized from seven band grouper in the context of nervous necrosis virus infection. The grouper NLRC3 is highly conserved and homologous with other vertebrate proteins with a NACHT domain and a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and an N-terminal CARD domain. Quantitative gene expression analysis revealed the highest mRNA levels of NLRC3 were in the brain and gill followed by the spleen and kidney following NNV infection. Overexpression of NLRC3 augmented the NNV replication kinetics in primary grouper brain cells. NLRC3 attenuated the interferon responses in the cells following NNV infection by impacting the TRAF6/NF-κB activity and exhibited reduced IFN sensitivity, ISRE promoter activity, and IFN pathway gene expression. In contrast, NLRC3 expression positively regulated the inflammasome response and pro-inflammatory gene expression during NNV infection. NLRC3 negatively regulates the PI3K-mTOR axis and activated the cellular autophagic response. Delineating the complexity of NLRC3 regulation of immune response in the primary grouper brain cells following NNV infection suggests that the protein acts as a virally manipulated host factor that negatively regulated the antiviral immune response to augment the NNV replication.

Altered expression of immune factors in sevenband grouper, Hyporthodus septemfasciatus following nervous necrosis virus challenge at optimal and suboptimal temperatures.

Abstract
The nervous necrosis virus (NNV) infection is generally observed in aquafarms when the seawater temperature is higher than 24 °C and the fishes seem to be refractory to disease at suboptimal temperatures below 20 °C suggesting a role of thermoregulation in NNV pathogenesis. The present study profiled the temperature-dependent regulation of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IFN-γ), innate antiviral factors (IFN-1, Mx, ISG-15), adaptive immune factors (CD-4, CD-8, IgM), signaling regulators (SOCS-1, SOCS-3), transcription factors (STAT-1, STAT-3) and microglial and NCC/NK specific cell markers (TMEM-119 and NCCRP-1) during NNV challenge in seven-band grouper, Hyporthodus septemfasciatus. The co-habitation challenge at 17 °C with showed a sustained expression of proinflammatory cytokines and following rechallenge with a dose of 104 TCID50/100μL/fish at optimal temperature, the survivors also exhibited a stable expression of immune factors. The 100% survival following the challenge at sub-optimal (17 °C) and rechallenge at optimal (25 °C) was due to the stable and sustained activation of the immune response. However, at 25 °C, the rechallenge displayed a priming effect with hyperactivation of the immune system evident from the immune gene expression profile. The mortality pattern observed is co-related with the cytokine storm as is evident from the gene expression profile. Whereas, neither of the adaptive immune markers was suggestive of humoral immune response in the 17 °C groups. Also, the data suggest a possible role of NK cell and microglia in mediating antiviral immune response following infection in the brain at different temperatures, where, former is beneficial in restricting viral infection with higher host tolerance.
