FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 149:109559.

Abstract
USP14 regulates the immune related pathways by deubiquitinating the signaling molecules in mammals. In teleost, USP14 is also reported to inhibit the antiviral immune response through TBK1, but its regulatory mechanism remains obscure. To elucidate the role of USP14 in the RLR/IFN antiviral pathway in teleost, the homolog USP14 (bcUSP14) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterize in this paper. bcUSP14 contains 490 amino acids (aa), and the sequence is well conserved among in vertebrates. Over-expression of bcUSP14 in EPC cells attenuated SVCV-induced transcription activity of IFN promoters and enhanced SVCV replication. Knockdown of bcUSP14 in MPK cells led to the increased transcription of IFNs and decreased SVCV replication, suggesting the improved antiviral activity of the host cells. The interaction between bcUSP14 and bcTBK1 was identified by both co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent staining. Co-expressed bcUSP14 obviously inhibited bcTBK1-induced IFN production and antiviral activity in EPC cells. K63-linked polyubiquitination of bcTBK1 was dampened by co-expressed bcUSP14, and bcTBK1-mediated phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of IRF3 were also inhibited by this deubiquitinase. Thus, all the data demonstrated that USP14 interacts with and inhibits TBK1 through deubiquitinating TBK1 in black carp.

Neuroscience 2024; 545:16-30. [PMID: 38431041 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2024.02.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Neuregulin receptor degradation protein 1 (Nrdp1) is a ring finger E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in some inflammation through ubiquitination, including macrophage polarization following cerebral hemorrhage. However, there is limited understanding regarding the mechanisms through which Nrdp1 modulates macrophage polarization and the potential impact of this modulation on neurological function. Using stereotactic injection and adenoviral transfection techniques, the corresponding animal models were constructed through injecting adenovirus, saline, or blood into the mouse striatum at different periods of time in this research. The alteration in the ratio of various M1/M2 phenotype-associated markers (e.g., CD86, CD206, IL-6, IL-10, etc.) was evaluated through immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and elisa assays. Additionally, neurological function scores and behavioral tests were utilized to evaluate changes in neurological function in mice after cerebral hemorrhage. Our results show that overexpression of Nrdp1 promotes the expression of a variety of M2 macrophage-associated markers and enhance transcriptional activity of arginase-1 (Arg1) protein through ubiquitination for early regulation M2 macrophage polarization. Additionally, Nrdp1 promotes hematoma absorption, increases IL-10 expression, inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-6, and TNF-α production, alleviates neurological impairment and brain edema, and accelerates functional recovery. These findings suggest that modulating macrophage polarization through Nrdp1 could be a therapeutic strategy for neurofunctional impairment in cerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
A20, encoded by TNFAIP3, is a critical negative regulator of immune activation. A20 is a ubiquitin editing enzyme with multiple domains, each of which mediates or stabilizes a key ubiquitin modification. A20 targets diverse proteins that are involved in pleiotropic immunologic pathways. The complexity of A20-mediated immunomodulation is illustrated by the varied effects of A20 deletion in different cell types and disease models. Clinically, the importance of A20 is highlighted by its extensive associations with human disease. A20 germline variants are associated with a wide range of inflammatory diseases, while somatic mutations promote development of B cell lymphomas. More recently, the discovery of A20 haploinsufficiency (HA20) has provided real world evidence for the role of A20 in immune cell function. Originally described as an autosomal dominant form of Behcet's disease, HA20 is now considered a complex inborn error of immunity with a broad spectrum of immunologic and clinical phenotypes.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a lethal stroke with high mortality or disability. However, effective therapy for ICH damage is generally lacking. Previous investigations have suggested that lysosomal protein transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5) is involved in various pathological processes, including autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. In this study, we aimed to identify the expression and functions of LAPTM5 in collagenase-induced ICH mouse models and hemoglobin-induced cell models. We found that LAPTM5 was highly expressed in brain tissues around the hematoma, and double immunostaining studies showed that LAPTM5 was co-expressed with microglia cells, neurons, and astrocytes. Following ICH, the mice presented increased brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, and neurological deficits, while pathological symptoms were alleviated after the LAPTM5 knockdown. Adeno-associated virus 9-mediated downregulation of LAPTM5 also improves ICH-induced secondary cerebral damage, including neuronal degeneration, the polarization of M1-like microglia, and inflammatory cascades. Furthermore, LAPTM5 promoted activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway in response to neuroinflammation. Further investigations indicated that brain injury improved by LAPTM5 knockdown was further exacerbated after the overexpression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1), which is revealed to trigger the NF-κB pathway. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LAPTM5 silencing inhibited hemoglobin-induced cell function and confirmed regulation between RIP1 and LAPTM5. In conclusion, the present study indicates that LAPTM5 may act as a positive regulator in the context of ICH by modulating the RIP1/NF-κB pathway. Thus, it may be a candidate gene for further study of molecular or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Innate immunity is the first line to defend against pathogenic microorganisms, and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammatory responses are an essential component of innate immunity. However, the regulatory mechanisms of TLRs in innate immunity remain unperfected. We found that the expression of E3 ligase Ring finger protein 99 (RNF99) decreased significantly in peripheral blood monocytes from patients infected with Gram negative bacteria (G-) and macrophages stimulated by TLRs ligands, indicating the role of RNF99. We also demonstrated for the first time, the protective role of RNF99 against LPS-induced septic shock and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis using RNF99 knockout mice (RNF99-/-) and bone marrow-transplanted mice. In vitro experiments revealed that RNF99 deficiency significantly promoted TLR-mediated inflammatory cytokine expression and activated the NF-κB and MAPK pathways in macrophages. Mechanistically, in both macrophages and HEK293 cell line with TLR4 stably transfection, RNF99 interacted with and degraded TAK1-binding protein (TAB) 2, a regulatory protein of the kinase TAK1, via the lysine (K)48-linked ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway on lysine 611 of TAB2, which further regulated the TLR-mediated inflammatory response. Overall, these findings indicated the physiological significance of RNF99 in macrophages in regulating TLR-mediated inflammatory reactions. It provided new insight into TLRs signal transduction, and offered a novel approach for preventing bacterial infections, endotoxin shock, and other inflammatory ills.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is the canonical adaptor for inflammatory signaling pathways downstream from members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor families, which activates the NF-κB signaling pathway and regulates immune and inflammatory responses. In this study, we found that Vinculin B (Vclb) is an inhibitor in the NF-κB signaling pathway, and its inhibitory effect was enhanced by LPS induction. Furthermore, Vclb inhibits NF-κB activation by targeting MyD88, thereby suppressing the production of inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, Vclb inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting MyD88 ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In summary, our study reveals that Vclb inhibits NF-κB signaling activation and mediates innate immunity in teleosts via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway of MyD88.

Abstract
RNA virus infection usually triggers a range of host immune responses, including the induction of proinflammatory cytokines, interferons, and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Here, we report that UBL7, a ubiquitin-like protein, is upregulated during RNA virus infection and induced by type I interferon as an ISG. UBL7-deficient mice exhibit increased susceptibility to viral infection due to attenuated antiviral innate immunity. UBL7 enhances innate immune response to viral infection by promoting the K27-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS. UBL7 interacts with TRIM21, an E3 ubiquitin ligase of MAVS, and promotes the combination of TRIM21 with MAVS in a dose-dependent manner, facilitating the K27-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS and recruiting of TBK1 to enhance the IFN signaling pathway. Moreover, UBL7 has a broad-spectrum antiviral function as an immunomodulatory adaptor protein. Therefore, UBL7 positively regulates innate antiviral signaling and promotes positive feedback to enhance and amplify the antiviral response.

Abstract
The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1R) families are of paramount importance in coordinating the early immune response to pathogens. Signaling via most TLRs and IL-1Rs is mediated by the protein myeloid differentiation primary-response protein 88 (MyD88). This signaling adaptor forms the scaffold of the myddosome, a molecular platform that employs IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK) proteins as main players for transducing signals. These kinases are essential in controlling gene transcription by regulating myddosome assembly, stability, activity and disassembly. Additionally, IRAKs play key roles in other biologically relevant responses such as inflammasome formation and immunometabolism. Here, we summarize some of the key aspects of IRAK biology in innate immunity.

Abstract
Accumulation of diverse mutations across the structural and nonstructural genes is leading to rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2, altering its pathogenicity. We performed whole genome sequencing of 239 SARS-CoV-2 RNA samples collected from both adult and pediatric patients across eastern India (West Bengal), during the second pandemic wave in India (April-May 2021). In addition to several common spike mutations within the Delta variant, a unique constellation of eight co-appearing non-Spike mutations was identified, which revealed a high degree of positive mutual correlation. Our results also demonstrated the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants among unvaccinated pediatric patients. 41.4% of our studied Delta strains harbored this signature set of eight co-appearing non-Spike mutations and phylogenetically out-clustered other Delta sub-lineages like 21J, 21A, or 21I. This is the first report from eastern India that portrayed a landscape of co-appearing mutations in the non-Spike proteins, which might have led to the evolution of a distinct Delta subcluster. Accumulation of such mutations in SARS-CoV-2 may lead to the emergence of "vaccine-evading variants." Hence, monitoring of such non-Spike mutations will be significant in the formulation of any future vaccines against those SARS-CoV-2 variants that might evade the current vaccine-induced immunity, among both the pediatric and adult populations.

Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 14:1103-1122. [PMID: 35934222 PMCID: PMC9490099 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmgh.2022.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Severe acute pancreatitis can easily lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and death. Macrophages are known to be involved in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis (AP), and macrophage activation correlates with disease severity. In this study, we examined the role of ubiquitin-specific protease 25, a deubiquitinating enzyme and known regulator of macrophages, in the pathogenesis of AP. METHODS We used L-arginine, cerulein, and choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented diet-induced models of AP in Usp25-/- mice and wild-type mice. We also generated bone marrow Usp25-/- chimeric mice and initiated L-arginine-mediated AP. Primary acinar cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated from wild-type and Usp25-/- mice to dissect molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Our results show that Usp25 deficiency exacerbates pancreatic and lung injury, neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, and systemic inflammatory responses in L-arginine, cerulein, and choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented diet-induced models of AP. Bone marrow Usp25-/- chimeric mice challenged with L-arginine show that Usp25 deficiency in macrophages exaggerates AP by up-regulating the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)-nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Similarly, in vitro data confirm that Usp25 deficiency enhances the TBK1-NF-κB pathway, leading to increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in bone marrow-derived macrophages. CONCLUSIONS Usp25 deficiency in macrophages enhances TBK1-NF-κB signaling, and the induction of inflammatory chemokines and type I interferon-related genes exacerbates pancreatic and lung injury in AP.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a critical type of protein post-translational modification playing an essential role in many cellular processes. To date, more than eight types of ubiquitination exist, all of which are involved in distinct cellular processes based on their structural differences. Studies have indicated that activation of the ubiquitination pathway is tightly connected with inflammation-related diseases as well as cancer, especially in the non-proteolytic canonical pathway, highlighting the vital roles of ubiquitination in metabolic programming. Studies relating degradable ubiquitination through lys48 or lys11-linked pathways to cellular signaling have been well-characterized. However, emerging evidence shows that non-degradable ubiquitination (linked to lys6, lys27, lys29, lys33, lys63, and Met1) remains to be defined. In this review, we summarize the non-proteolytic ubiquitination involved in tumorigenesis and related signaling pathways, with the aim of providing a reference for future exploration of ubiquitination and the potential targets for cancer therapies.
