Miz1 represses type I interferon production and limits viral clearance during influenza A virus infection. Sci Signal 2024; 17:eadg7867. [PMID: 38593156 PMCID: PMC11182629 DOI: 10.1126/scisignal.adg7867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Type I interferons (IFNs) are critical for the antiviral immune response, and fine-tuning type I IFN production is critical to effectively clearing viruses without causing harmful immunopathology. We showed that the transcription factor Miz1 epigenetically repressed the expression of genes encoding type I IFNs in mouse lung epithelial cells by recruiting histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) to the promoters of Ifna and Ifnb. Loss of function of Miz1 resulted in augmented production of these type I IFNs during influenza A virus (IAV) infection, leading to improved viral clearance in vitro and in vivo. IAV infection induced Miz1 accumulation by promoting the cullin-4B (CUL4B)-mediated ubiquitylation and degradation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mule (Mcl-1 ubiquitin ligase E3; also known as Huwe1 or Arf-BP1), which targets Miz1 for degradation. As a result, Miz1 accumulation limited type I IFN production and favored viral replication. This study reveals a previously unrecognized function of Miz1 in regulating antiviral defense and a potential mechanism for influenza viruses to evade host immune defense.

Abstract
Antiviral vaccine is essential for preventing and controlling virus spreading, along with declining morbidity and mortality. A major challenge in effective vaccination lies in the ability to enhance both the humoral and cellular immune responses by adjuvants. Herein, self-assembled nanoparticles based on graphene oxide quantum dots with components of carnosine, resiquimod and Zn2+ ions, namely ZnGC-R, are designed as a new adjuvant for influenza vaccine. With its high capability for antigen-loading, ZnGC-R enhances antigen utilization, improves DC recruitment, and activates antigen-presenting cells. Single cell analysis of lymphocytes after intramuscular vaccination revealed that ZnGC-R generated multifaceted immune responses. ZnGC-R stimulated robust CD4+CCR7loPD-1hi Tfh and durable CD8+CD44hiCD62L- TEM immune responses, and simultaneously promoted the proliferation of CD26+ germinal center B cells. Besides, ZnGC-R elicited 2.53-fold higher hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody than commercial-licensed aluminum salt adjuvant. ZnGC-R based vaccine induced 342% stronger IgG antibody responses compared with vaccines with inactivated virus alone, leading to 100% in vivo protection efficacy against the H1N1 influenza virus challenge.

Abstract
Neddylation is a post-translational modification that plays an important role not only in cancer development but also in regulating viral infection and replication. Upregulation of neddylation occurs in viral infections, and inhibition of neddylation can suppress viral replication. Neddylation is thought to enhance viral protein stability and replication. Neddylation has been reported to enhance the stability of the regulatory hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein, modulate viral replication, and enhance hepatocarcinogenesis. Inhibition of neddylation using the NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 inhibitor MLN4924 inhibits viral replication, including that of HBV. Understanding of the role of neddylation in viral infections is critical for developing new therapeutic targets and potential treatment strategies. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the understanding of the effects of neddylation during viral infection, particularly in HBV infection, and strategies for curing viral infection by targeting the neddylation pathway.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy of VSVΔ51 oncolytic virotherapy has been limited by tumor resistance to viral infection, so strategies to transiently repress antiviral defenses are warranted. Pevonedistat is a first-in-class NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor currently being tested in clinical trials for its antitumor potential. In this study, we demonstrate that pevonedistat sensitizes human and murine cancer cells to increase oncolytic VSVΔ51 infection, increase tumor cell death, and improve therapeutic outcomes in resistant syngeneic murine cancer models. Increased VSVΔ51 infectivity was also observed in clinical human tumor samples. We further identify the mechanism of this effect to operate via blockade of the type 1 interferon (IFN-1) response through neddylation-dependent interferon-stimulated growth factor 3 (ISGF3) repression and neddylation-independent inhibition of NF-κB nuclear translocation. Together, our results identify a role for neddylation in regulating the innate immune response and demonstrate that pevonedistat can improve the therapeutic outcomes of strategies using oncolytic virotherapy.

Taurolidine improved protection against highly pathogenetic avian influenza H5N1 virus lethal-infection in mouse model by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Virol Sin 2023; 38:119-127.

Abstract
Taurolidine (TRD), a derivative of taurine, has anti-bacterial and anti-tumor effects by chemically reacting with cell-walls, endotoxins and exotoxins to inhibit the adhesion of microorganisms. However, its application in antiviral therapy is seldom reported. Here, we reported that TRD significantly inhibited the replication of influenza virus H5N1 in MDCK cells with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (EC50) of 34.45 μg/mL. Furthermore, the drug inhibited the amplification of the cytokine storm effect and improved the survival rate of mice lethal challenged with H5N1 (protection rate was 86%). Moreover, TRD attenuated virus-induced lung damage and reduced virus titers in mice lungs. Administration of TRD reduced the number of neutrophils and increased the number of lymphocytes in the blood of H5N1 virus-infected mice. Importantly, the drug regulated the NF-κB signaling pathway by inhibiting the separation of NF-κB and IκBa, thereby reducing the expression of inflammatory factors. In conclusion, our findings suggested that TRD could act as a potential anti-influenza drug candidate in further clinical studies.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) prevents innate immune signaling during infection. In our previous study, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines was associated with Cullin-1 RING ligase (CRL1), which was related to NF-κB activation. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, an E3 ligase, β-transducin repeat-containing protein (β-TrCP), was significantly downregulated during IAV infection. Co-IP analysis revealed that non-structural 1 protein (NS1) interacts with β-TrCP. With co-transfection, an increase in NS1 expression led to a reduction in β-TrCP expression, affecting the level of IκBα and then resulting in repression of the activation of the NF-κB pathway during IAV infection. In addition, β-TrCP targets the viral NS1 protein and significantly reduces the replication level of influenza virus. Our results provide a novel mechanism for influenza to modulate its immune response during infection, and β-TrCP may be a novel target for influenza virus antagonism.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) commandeers the host cell proteasome at several steps of its replication cycle, including entry. Here we demonstrate that HSV-2, pseudorabies virus (PRV), and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) entry are blocked by bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor that is an FDA-approved cancer drug. Proteasome-dependent entry of HSV-1 is thought to be ubiquitin-independent. To interrogate further the proteasomal mechanism of entry, we determined the involvement of the ubiquitin-like molecule NEDD8 and the neddylation cascade in alphaherpesvirus entry and infection. MLN4924 is a small-molecule inhibitor of neddylation that binds directly to the NEDD8-activating enzyme. Cell treatment with MLN4924 inhibited plaque formation and infectivity by HSV-1, PRV, and BoHV-1 at noncytotoxic concentrations. Thus, the neddylation pathway is broadly important for alphaherpesvirus infection. However, the neddylation inhibitor had little effect on entry of the veterinary viruses but had a significant inhibitory effect on entry of HSV-1 and HSV-2 into seven different cell types. Washout experiments indicated that MLN4924's effect on viral entry was reversible. A time-of-addition assay suggested that the drug was acting on an early step in the entry process. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of NEDD8 significantly inhibited HSV entry. In probing the neddylation-dependent step in entry, we found that MLN4924 dramatically blocked endocytic uptake of HSV from the plasma membrane by >90%. In contrast, the rate of HSV entry into cells that support direct fusion of HSV with the cell surface was unaffected by MLN4924. Interestingly, proteasome activity was less important for the endocytic internalization of HSV from the cell surface. The results suggest that the NEDD8 cascade is critical for the internalization step of HSV entry. IMPORTANCE Alphaherpesviruses are ubiquitous pathogens of humans and veterinary species that cause lifelong latent infections and significant morbidity and mortality. Host cell neddylation is important for cell homeostasis and for the infection of many viruses, including HSV-1, HSV-2, PRV, and BoHV-1. Inhibition of neddylation by a pharmacologic inhibitor or siRNA blocked HSV infection at the entry step. Specifically, the NEDD8 pathway was critically important for HSV-1 internalization from the cell surface by an endocytosis mechanism. The results expand our limited understanding of cellular processes that mediate HSV internalization. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a function for the neddylation cascade in virus entry.

A Degradation Motif in STAU1 Defines a Novel Family of Proteins Involved in Inflammation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911588.

Abstract
Cancer development is regulated by inflammation. Staufen1 (STAU1) is an RNA-binding protein whose expression level is critical in cancer cells as it is related to cell proliferation or cell death. STAU1 protein levels are downregulated during mitosis due to its degradation by the E3 ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). In this paper, we map the molecular determinant involved in STAU1 degradation to amino acids 38-50, and by alanine scanning, we shorten the motif to F39PxPxxLxxxxL50 (FPL-motif). Mutation of the FPL-motif prevents STAU1 degradation by APC/C. Interestingly, a search in databases reveals that the FPL-motif is shared by 15 additional proteins, most of them being involved in inflammation. We show that one of these proteins, MAP4K1, is indeed degraded via the FPL-motif; however, it is not a target of APC/C. Using proximity labeling with STAU1, we identify TRIM25, an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the innate immune response and interferon production, as responsible for STAU1 and MAP4K1 degradation, dependent on the FPL-motif. These results are consistent with previous studies that linked STAU1 to cancer-induced inflammation and identified a novel degradation motif that likely coordinates a novel family of proteins involved in inflammation. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD036675.

Abstract
Neddylation is a posttranslational modification that is similar to ubiquitination, and involved in some critical biological processes, such as DNA repair, transcription regulation, and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Recently, it was found that neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 has potent antiviral activity against human viruses including herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, HSV-2, and influenza viruses. Here, we report that MLN4924 could dramatically and dose-dependently inhibits the propagation, formation of budding virus (BV) and occlusion body (OB) of a lepidopteran virus-Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), impaired OB assembly. In addition, the neddylation modification protein NEDD8 is colocalized with aggresome and autophagosome. Our findings suggest that inhibiting neddylation could be an antibaculovirus strategy and MLN4924 may be used as candidate drug for that purpose.

How Influenza A Virus NS1 Deals with the Ubiquitin System to Evade Innate Immunity. Viruses 2021; 13:v13112309. [PMID: 34835115 PMCID: PMC8619935 DOI: 10.3390/v13112309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification regulating critical cellular processes such as protein degradation, trafficking and signaling pathways, including activation of the innate immune response. Therefore, viruses, and particularly influenza A virus (IAV), have evolved different mechanisms to counteract this system to perform proper infection. Among IAV proteins, the non-structural protein NS1 is shown to be one of the main virulence factors involved in these viral hijackings. NS1 is notably able to inhibit the host's antiviral response through the perturbation of ubiquitination in different ways, as discussed in this review.

PLoS Pathog 2021; 17:e1009936. [PMID: 34499701 PMCID: PMC8454965 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1009936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
While Entamoeba histolytica (Eh)-induced pro-inflammatory responses are critical in disease pathogenesis, the downstream signaling pathways that subsequently dampens inflammation and the immune response remains unclear. Eh in contact with macrophages suppresses NF-κB signaling while favoring NLRP3-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine production by an unknown mechanism. Cullin-1 and cullin-5 (cullin-1/5) assembled into a multi-subunit RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex are substrates for neddylation that regulates the ubiquitination pathway important in NF-κB activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In this study, we showed that upon live Eh contact with human macrophages, cullin-1/4A/4B/5 but not cullin-2/3, were degraded within 10 minutes. Similar degradation of cullin-1/5 were observed from colonic epithelial cells and proximal colonic loops tissues of mice inoculated with live Eh. Degradation of cullin-1/5 was dependent on Eh-induced activation of caspase-1 via the NLRP3 inflammasome. Unlike cullin-4B, the degradation of cullin-4A was partially dependent on caspase-1 and was inhibited with a pan caspase inhibitor. Cullin-1/5 degradation was dependent on Eh cysteine proteinases EhCP-A1 and EhCP-A4, but not EhCP-A5, based on pharmacological inhibition of the cysteine proteinases and EhCP-A5 deficient parasites. siRNA silencing of cullin-1/5 decreased the phosphorylation of pIκ-Bα in response to Eh and LPS stimulation and downregulated NF-κB-dependent TNF-α mRNA expression and TNF-α and MCP-1 pro-inflammatory cytokine production. These results unravel a unique outside-in strategy employed by Eh to attenuate NF-κB-dependent pro-inflammatory responses via NLRP3 activation of caspase-1 that degraded cullin-1/5 from macrophages. The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica (Eh) is the etiologic agent for the disease amebiasis. It is a potent pathogen that deploys an arsenal of virulence factors to trigger and subvert host immune defenses. One of the hallmark features of the disease is amebic colitis and in extreme cases, it can lead to abscesses of the liver and brain. For unknown reasons, the parasite breaches colonic mucosal barriers and invade underlying tissues. The host immune system plays a decisive role in determining the outcome of the disease. At the molecular level, the interaction of Eh with macrophage is a turning point in shaping pro-inflammatory responses. Understanding host-pathogen intricacies at the molecular level is key in determining the complexity of the disease. In the context of amebiasis, the underlying molecular events that occur at the Eh-macrophage intercellular junction are partly unravelled. Here we sought to interrogate the mechanisms by which NF-κB signaling is aborted following Eh-macrophage contact and found two regulatory scaffold proteins, cullin-1 and -5 (cullin-1/5) of the multiple E3 ligase complex, are degraded leading to dampening of NF-κB signaling. During Eh-macrophage contact, cullin-1/4A/4B/5 were rapidly degraded whereas cullin-2/3 were not. The degradation of cullin-1/5 was highly dependent on Eh-induced caspase-1 activation via the NLRP3 inflammasome. In contrast, the degradation of cullin-4A but not cullin-4B, was partially dependent on caspase-1 and was inhibited with a cell-permeable pan caspase inhibitor. Intriguingly, we found that Eh virulence factor EhCP-A1 and EhCP-A4, but not EhCP-A5, played an important role in mediating the degradation of these proteins. Silencing cullin-1/5 decreased the phosphorylation of Iκ-Bα in response to Eh and LPS stimulation that markedly downregulated NF-κB-dependent TNF-α mRNA expression and TNF-α and MCP-1 pro-inflammatory cytokine production. This study unravelled a novel role for Eh-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation of caspase-1 that intersected with the NF-κB pathway leading to the degradation of the novel substrates cullin-1/5 that regulates NF-κB-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Abstract
Pevonedistat (MLN4924) is a specific NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor that inactivates cullin-RING ligases involved in ubiquitylation and turnover of different signaling molecules. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of pevonedistat on cisplatin (CIS)-induced nephrotoxicity in mice. Serum creatinine and urea levels were analyzed in different groups. Histopathological examination of renal tissue was done using hematoxylin and eosin staining. In addition, renal IL-6 and TNF-α expressions were analyzed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique, and IL-1β and NF-κB expressions were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining of renal tissue. Caspase-3, A20, β-catenin, and Nrf2 gene expressions in renal tissue were analyzed using the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction technique. Western blot analysis was adopted to assess cleaved caspase-3 and β-catenin expressions in renal tissue. Pevonedistat coadministration with CIS improved kidney functions and attenuated CIS-induced nephrotoxicity as indicated by the significant decrease in serum creatinine and urea levels. In addition, pevonedistat coadministration with CIS showed a significant decrease in caspase-3 and a significant increase in A20, β-catenin, and Nrf2 gene expressions. Also, pevonedistat decreased caspase-3 cleavage to p19 in mice treated with CIS. Moreover, pevonedistat decreased CIS-induced upregulation of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and NF-κB protein expressions in renal tissue. Thus, pevonedistat alleviated CIS-induced nephrotoxicity that might be attributed to suppression of the inflammation induced in renal tissue.

Abstract
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large nucleoplasmic DNA virus, in which the genome is around 170-198 kilobases (kb). More than 50 % genes have unknown functions. Here, MGF100-1R gene is chosen to study the primary function and sublocalization. The gene was located at the left variable region of the ASFV genome that belongs to MGF100 families. It located at the cytoplasm without cytotoxic activities. However, it related to induce the transcriptional levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. A deletion mutant of MGF100-1R gene was constructed based on ASFV Chinese strain GZ201801. The recombinant deletion mutant (ASFV△MGF100-1R) was demonstrated in vitro that the gene is non-essential for virus replication with a similar replication kinetics in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) cell cultures when compared to parental virus. In vivo evaluation, ASFV△MGF100-1R was inoculated intramuscularly and led to a similar pathogenesis that caused by the parental ASFV GZ201801, confirming that deletion of MGF100-1R gene from the ASFV genome does not impact virulence.

Abstract
Neddylation, a posttranslational modification in which NEDD8 is covalently attached to target proteins, has emerged as an endogenous regulator of innate immunity. However, the role of neddylation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection remains unknown. In this study, we found that neddylation was activated after MRSA infection in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of neddylation with MLN4924 promoted injury of liver and kidneys in C57BL/6 mice with MRSA bloodstream infection and increased mortality. Blockade of neddylation, either pharmacologically (MLN4924, DI591) or through the use of Uba3 small interfering RNA, inhibited Cullin3 neddylation and promoted Nrf2 accumulation, thus reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction and bacterial killing ability in mouse peritoneal macrophages. In summary, our findings suggest that activation of neddylation in macrophages plays a critical protective role against MRSA infection by increasing ROS production, partially by signaling through the NEDD8-Cullin3-Nrf2-ROS axis. Furthermore, our results may provide a new non-antibiotic treatment strategy for MRSA infection through targeting of neddylation.

Abstract
Being opportunistic intracellular pathogens, viruses are dependent on the host for their replication. They hijack host cellular machinery for their replication and survival by targeting crucial cellular physiological pathways, including transcription, translation, immune pathways, and apoptosis. Immediately after translation, the host and viral proteins undergo a process called post-translational modification (PTM). PTMs of proteins involves the attachment of small proteins, carbohydrates/lipids, or chemical groups to the proteins and are crucial for the proteins’ functioning. During viral infection, host proteins utilize PTMs to control the virus replication, using strategies like activating immune response pathways, inhibiting viral protein synthesis, and ultimately eliminating the virus from the host. PTM of viral proteins increases solubility, enhances antigenicity and virulence properties. However, RNA viruses are devoid of enzymes capable of introducing PTMs to their proteins. Hence, they utilize the host PTM machinery to promote their survival. Proteins from viruses belonging to the family: Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, Retroviridae, and Coronaviridae such as chikungunya, dengue, zika, HIV, and coronavirus are a few that are well-known to be modified. This review discusses various host and virus-mediated PTMs that play a role in the outcome during the infection.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major public health problem. The high levels of HBV DNA and HBsAg are positively associated with the development of secondary liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Current treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues mainly reduces viral DNA, but has minimal, if any, inhibitory effect on the viral antigen. Although IFN reduces both HBV DNA and HBsAg, the serious associated side effects limit its use in clinic. Thus, there is an urgent demanding for novel anti‐HBV therapy. In our study, viral parameters were determined in the supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells, HBV‐expressing Huh7 and HepG2 cells which transfected with HBV plasmids and in the serum of HBV mouse models with hydrodynamic injection of pAAV‐HBV1.2 plasmid. RT‐qPCR and Southern blot were performed to detect 35kb mRNA and cccDNA. RT‐qPCR, Luciferase assay and Western blot were used to determine anti‐HBV effects of MLN4924 and the underlying mechanisms. We found that treatment with MLN4924, the first‐in‐class neddylation inhibitor currently in several phase II clinical trials for anti‐cancer application, effectively suppressed production of HBV DNA, HBsAg, 3.5kb HBV RNA as well as cccDNA. Mechanistically, MLN4924 blocks cullin neddylation and activates ERK to suppress the expression of several transcription factors required for HBV replication, including HNF1α, C/EBPα and HNF4α, leading to an effective blockage in the production of cccDNA and HBV antigen. Our study revealed that neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 has impressive anti‐HBV activity by inhibiting HBV replication, thus providing sound rationale for future MLN4924 clinical trial as a novel anti‐HBV therapy.

Abstract
Neddylation is one type of protein post-translational modification by conjugating a ubiquitin-like protein neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 to substrate proteins via a cascade involving E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The best-characterized substrates of neddylation are cullins, essential components of cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin-ligase complexes. The discovery of noncullin neddylation targets indicates that neddylation may have diverse biological functions. Indeed, neddylation has been implicated in various cellular processes including cell cycle progression, metabolism, immunity, and tumorigenesis. Here, we summarized the reported neddylation substrates and also discuss the functions of neddylation in the immune system and metabolism.

Abstract
Introduction Protein neddylation, one of the most important posttranslational modifications that tagging neuronal precursor cell‐expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 onto substrate proteins, plays fundamental roles in the process of many cellular functions. A number of studies have demonstrated the critical roles of neddylation modification in multiple pathophysiological processes, but its regulatory role in the immune system has only been finitely unveiled. Methods In this review, the latest advances in the field of neddylation modification in regulating the immune responses are succinctly discussed. Results Neddylation modification acts as a crucial modulator of innate immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells) and lymphocytes. Dysregulation of neddylation alters characteristics and functions of those cells due to abnormal degradation of key signaling molecules involved in immunoregulation. Furthermore, the ectopic immune responses caused by the abnormal neddylation play pivotal roles in a variety of immune‐related diseases, such as infection, inflammation, and cancer. Conclusions The pivotal roles of neddylation pathway in immunoregulation are attracted more and more attention, which may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of a variety of immune‐related diseases and help to indicate new therapeutic targets and potential treatment strategies.

Abstract
MLN4924 (pevonedistat) is a first-in-class NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Despite the promising activity of MLN4924 observed in early trials, drug resistance has been noted in some patients. Identifying the underlying cause of treatment failure may help to better stratify patients that are most likely to benefit from this novel agent. Early preclinical studies revealed that the development of NAE mutations promotes resistance to MLN4924. However, these mutations have not been detected in patients that are relapsed/refractory to MLN4924, suggesting that other mechanisms are driving clinical resistance. To better understand the potential mechanisms of MLN4924 resistance, we generated MLN4924-resistant ovarian cancer cells. Interestingly, these cells did not develop mutations in NAE. Transcriptome analyses revealed that one of the most upregulated genes in resistant cells was ABCG2. This result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblotting. Importantly, the sensitivity of MLN4924-resistant cells was restored by lentiviral short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting ABCG2. Further investigation using ABCG2-overexpressing NCI-H460/MX20 cells determined that these cells are resistant to the anticancer effects of MLN4924 and can be sensitized by co-treatment with the ABCG2 inhibitors YHO-13351 and fumitremorgin C. Finally, HEK293 models with overexpression of wild-type ABCG2 (R482) and variants (R482G and R482T) all demonstrated significant resistance to MLN4924 compared to wild-type cells. Overall, these findings define an important molecular resistance mechanism to MLN4924 and demonstrate that ABCG2 may be a useful clinical biomarker that predicts resistance to MLN4924 treatment.

Characterization and pathogenicity of fowl adenovirus serotype 4 isolated from eastern China. BMC Vet Res 2019; 15:373. [PMID: 31660972 PMCID: PMC6816224 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-019-2092-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fowl adenovirus outbreaks have occurred in China since June 2015. This virus is an emerging infectious disease that causes hydropericardium syndrome and inclusion body hepatitis (HPS-IBH), resulting in significant economic loss to poultry farmers. Five fowl adenovirus (FAdV) strains (HN, AQ, AH726, JS07 and AH712) were isolated from Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. RESULTS Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the five isolates belonged to species C fowl adenovirus serotype 4. An 11 amino-acid deletion in ORF29, relative to an older viral isolate, JSJ13, was observed for all five strains described here. In chicken experiments, 80-100% birds died after intramuscular inoculation and displayed lesions characteristic of HPS-IBH. The viral DNA copies were further detected by hexon-probe based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the chicken samples. The viral loads and cytokine profiles were recorded in all the organs after infections. Despite minor genetic differences, the 5 strains displayed significantly different tissue tropisms and cytokine profiles. CONCLUSIONS Our data enhance the current understanding some of the factors involved in the pathogenicity and genetic diversity of the FAdV serotype 4 (FAdV-4) in China. Our work provides theoretical support for the prevention and control of HPS-IBH in chickens.

Abstract
Neddylation is a type of post-translational protein modifications, in which neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 (NEDD8) is covalently conjugated to the lysine residues of target substrates. The best characterized principal substrates of neddylation are the cullin-RING ligases (CRLs). In addition, neddylation also modifies non-cullin proteins to affect gene regulation, cell survival, organ development, and stress response. However, the role of neddylation in antiviral innate immunity remain largely unknown. Here, we found that when neddylation was blocked by the NEDD8 activating enzyme E1 (NAE) inhibitor, MLN4924, the cellular and organismal antiviral response was suppressed. Moreover, the disruption of nedd8 increased the sensitivity of zebrafish to SVCV infection. Further assays indicated that blocking or silencing neddylation significantly downregulated key antiviral genes after poly (I:C) stimulation or SVCV infection, but dramatically increased SVCV replication. Neddylation of Irf3 and Irf7 was readily detected, but not of Mda5, Mavs, and Tbk1. Thus, our results not only demonstrated that neddylation facilitated the antiviral response in vitro and in vivo, but also revealed a novel role of nedd8 in antiviral innate immunity.

Cellular Cullin RING Ubiquitin Ligases: Druggable Host Dependency Factors of Cytomegaloviruses. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20071636.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous betaherpesvirus that frequently causes morbidity and mortality in individuals with insufficient immunity, such as transplant recipients, AIDS patients, and congenitally infected newborns. Several antiviral drugs are approved to treat HCMV infections. However, resistant HCMV mutants can arise in patients receiving long-term therapy. Additionally, side effects and the risk to cause birth defects limit the use of currently approved antivirals against HCMV. Therefore, the identification of new drug targets is of clinical relevance. Recent work identified DNA-damage binding protein 1 (DDB1) and the family of the cellular cullin (Cul) RING ubiquitin (Ub) ligases (CRLs) as host-derived factors that are relevant for the replication of human and mouse cytomegaloviruses. The first-in-class CRL inhibitory compound Pevonedistat (also called MLN4924) is currently under investigation as an anti-tumor drug in several clinical trials. Cytomegaloviruses exploit CRLs to regulate the abundance of viral proteins, and to induce the proteasomal degradation of host restriction factors involved in innate and intrinsic immunity. Accordingly, pharmacological blockade of CRL activity diminishes viral replication in cell culture. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge concerning the relevance of DDB1 and CRLs during cytomegalovirus replication and discuss chances and drawbacks of CRL inhibitory drugs as potential antiviral treatment against HCMV.

Abstract
H9N2 subtype influenza A virus (IAV) has more than 20 genotypes that are able to cross species barriers and expand from birds to mammals and humans. To better understand the impact of different H9N2 genotypes and their characteristics, five H9N2 viruses from different hosts including chickens, geese, pigs, mink, and humans representing the B69 88(Gs/14, Ck/15, and Mi/14), B35 (Sw/08) and G9 genotypes (Hu/04) were infected in chicken and mice. In mice, mammal-origin viruses replicated at higher levels in the lungs compared to avian viruses. The goose-virus replicated at the lowest levels indicating poor adaptation. Increased pro-inflammatory cytokines were positively correlated with viral loads in the lung. In chickens, all viruses were excreted from cloacal and/or oropharyngeal swabs. Interestingly, Mink-origin virus exhibited higher virulence and replication in mice and chickens. Our data indicate that mammal-origin H9N2 viruses are more adapted and virulent in mice than the avian-origin viruses.
