[PMID: 38555788 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2024.110066] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), which has posed substantial threats to the swine industry worldwide, is primarily characterized by interstitial pneumonia. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a multifunctional sheddase involved in various inflammatory diseases. Herein, our study showed that PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection elevated ADAM17 activity, as demonstrated in primary porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), an immortalized PAM cell line (IPAM cells), and the lung tissues of PRRSV-infected piglets. We found that PRRSV infection promoted ADAM17 translocation from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi by enhancing its interaction with inactive rhomboid protein 2 (iRhom2), a newly identified ADAM17 regulator, which in turn elevated ADAM17 activity. By screening for PRRSV-encoded structural proteins, viral envelope (E) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins were identified as the predominant ADAM17 activators. E and N proteins bind with both ADAM17 and iRhom2 to form ternary protein complexes, ultimately strengthening their interactions. Additionally, we demonstrated, using an ADAM17-knockout cell line, that ADAM17 augmented the shedding of soluble TNF-α, a pivotal inflammatory mediator. We also discovered that ADAM17-mediated cleavage of porcine TNF-α occurred between Arg-78 and Ser-79. By constructing a precision mutant cell line with Arg-78-Glu/Ser-79-Glu substitution mutations in TNF-α, we further revealed that the ADAM17-mediated production of soluble TNF-α contributed to the induction of inflammatory responses by PRRSV and its E and N proteins. Taken together, our results elucidate the mechanism by which PRRSV infection activates the iRhom2/ADAM17/TNF-α axis to enhance inflammatory responses, providing valuable insights into the elucidation of PRRSV pathogenesis.

Abstract
TREM2 is a transmembrane protein expressed exclusively in microglia in the brain that regulates inflammatory responses to pathological conditions. Proteolytic cleavage of membrane TREM2 affects microglial function and is associated with Alzheimer's disease, but the consequence of reduced TREM2 proteolytic cleavage has not been determined. Here, we generate a transgenic mouse model of reduced Trem2 shedding (Trem2-Ile-Pro-Asp [IPD]) through amino-acid substitution of an ADAM-protease recognition site. We show that Trem2-IPD mice display increased Trem2 cell-surface-receptor load, survival, and function in myeloid cells. Using single-cell transcriptomic profiling of mouse cortex, we show that sustained Trem2 stabilization induces a shift of fate in microglial maturation and accelerates microglial responses to Aβ pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Our data indicate that reduction of Trem2 proteolytic cleavage aggravates neuroinflammation during the course of Alzheimer's disease pathology, suggesting that TREM2 shedding is a critical regulator of microglial activity in pathological states.

Potential clinical drugs as covalent inhibitors of the priming proteases of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2020; 18:2200-2208.

Abstract
In less than eight months, the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) virus has resulted in over 20,000,000 confirmed cases and over 700,000 deaths around the world. With the increasing worldwide spreading of this disease, the lack of effective drugs against SARS-CoV-2 infection makes the situation even more dangerous and unpredictable. Although many forces are speeding up to develop prevention and treatment therapeutics, it is unlikely that any de novo drugs will be available in months. Drug repurposing holds the promise to significantly save the time for drug development, since it could use existing clinic drugs to treat new diseases. Based on the “steric-clashes alleviating receptor (SCAR)” strategy developed in our lab recently, we screened the library of clinic and investigational drugs, and identified nine drugs that might be repurposed as covalent inhibitors of the priming proteases (cathepsin B, cathepsin L, and TMPRSS2) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Among these hits, five are known covalent inhibitors, and one is an anti-virus drug. Therefore, we hope our work would provide rational and timely help for developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION TNF-α plays a central role in certain autoimmune diseases as well as in inflammation. The current strategy for excluding TNF-α from circulation is to selectively inhibit TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE), an enzyme that cleaves mTNF-α to active TNF-α. Various TACE inhibitors have been discovered by using different strategies to control inflammatory diseases, cancer, and cardiac hypertrophy. AREAS COVERED The present article summarizes the design and discovery of novel TACE inhibitors that have been reported in the literature since 2012 onwards. It also includes some reports concerning the new role that TACE plays in cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. EXPERT OPINION So far, undertaken studies that have looked to design and develop small TACE inhibitors have been discouraging due to the failure of any TACE inhibitors to hit the market. However, some of the latest developments, such as with tartrate-based inhibitors, has given hope to the potentiality of a viable novel selective TACE inhibitor therapeutic in the future. Indeed, some of the novel peptidomimetics and monoclonal antibodies have great potential to pave the way for an effective and safe therapy by selectively inhibiting TACE enzyme.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed in myeloid cells (TREM2) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed in macrophages, dendritic cells, microglia, and osteoclasts. TREM2 plays a role in phagocytosis, regulates release of cytokine, contributes to microglia maintenance, and its ectodomain is shed from the cell surface. Here, the question was addressed at which position sheddases cleave TREM2 and what are the proteases involved in this process. Using both pharmacological and genetic approaches we report that the main protease contributing to the release of TREM2 ectodomain is ADAM17, (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain containing protein, also called TACE, TNFα converting enzyme) while ADAM10 plays a minor role. Complementary biochemical experiments reveal that cleavage occurs between histidine 157 and serine 158. Shedding is not altered for the R47H-mutated TREM2 protein that confers an increased risk for the development of Alzheimers disease. These findings reveal a link between shedding of TREM2 and its regulation during inflammatory conditions or chronic neurodegenerative disease like AD in which activity or expression of sheddases might be altered.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the expression and roles of interleukin (IL)-17 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and to identify the association between the effects of IL-17 and TNF-α in IDD. This may increase understanding of the pathogenic mechanism underlying IDD, and aid the development of alternative therapies. The experimental group consisted of 40 samples of nucleus pulposus tissue obtained from the intervertebral discs (IVDs) of patients with IDD by surgical intervention, and was further divided into an annulus fibrosus disrupted group, comprising 18 patients in which the external annulus was ruptured, and an annulus fibrosus intact group comprising 22 patients. The control group consisted of 20 samples of nucleus pulposus tissue from the IVDs of patients with traumatic lumbar disc fractures. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-17 and TNF-α in the 50 tissue samples were detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining, respectively, and the results were statistically analyzed. The IL-17 and TNF-α protein and mRNA expression levels in the annulus fibrosus disrupted and annulus fibrosus intact groups were both higher compared with those in the control group. In addition, the expression levels of IL-17 and TNF-α in the annulus fibrosus disrupted group were significantly higher compared with those in the annulus fibrosus intact group (P<0.01). A positive correlation was identified between the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-17 and TNF-α in the experimental group (r=0.957, P<0.01). IL-17 and TNF-α may therefore be involved in the progression of human IDD, and may have synergistic effects in the development of IDD.
