Abstract
RIPK1/TAK1 are important for programmed cell death, including liver death, necroptosis and apoptosis. However, there have been few published reports on the functions of RIPK1/TAK1 in invertebrates. In this study, full-length ChRIPK1 and ChTAK1 were cloned from C. hongkongensis through the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology. ChRIPK1 has almost no homology with human RIPK1 and lacks a kinase domain at the N-terminus but has a DD and RHIM domain. ChTAK1 is conserved throughout evolution. qRT‒PCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression patterns of ChRIPK1 in different tissues, developmental stages, and V. coralliilyticus-infected individuals, and both were highly expressed in the mantle and gills, while ChRIPK1 was upregulated in hemocytes and gills after V. coralliilyticus or S. aureus infection, which indicates that ChRIPK1 is involved in immune regulation. Fluorescence assays revealed that ChRIPK1 localized to the cytoplasm of HEK293T cells in a punctiform manner, but the colocalization of ChRIPK1 with ChTAK1 abolished the punctiform morphology. In the dual-luciferase reporter assay, both ChRIPK1 and ChRIPK1-RIHM activated the NF-κB signaling pathway in HEK293T cells, and ChTAK1 activated ChRIPK1 in the NF-κB signaling pathway. The apoptosis rate of the hemocytes was not affected by the necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1 but was significantly decreased, and ChRIPK1 expression was knocked down in the hemocytes of C. hongkongensis. These findings indicated that ChRIPK1 induces apoptosis but not necroptosis in oysters. This study provides a theoretical basis for further research on the molecular mechanism by which invertebrates regulate the programmed cell death of hemocytes in oysters.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10), more commonly etiological agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), are capable of causing severe neurological syndromes with high fatalities, but their neuropathogenesis has rarely been studied. Mounting evidence indicated that pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of cell death that might be widely involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of neurotropic viruses. Our study was designed to examine the effects of NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in CV-A16- and CV-A10-induced inflammatory neuropathologic formation. In this work, it was showed that SH-SY5Y cells were susceptible to CV-A16 and CV-A10, and meanwhile their infections could result in a decreasing cell viability and an increasing LDH release as well as Caspase1 activation. Moreover, CV-A16 and CV-A10 infections triggered NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis and promoted the release of inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, activated NLRP3 accelerated the pyroptosis formation and aggravated the inflammatory response, but inhibited NLRP3 had a dampening effect on the above situation. Finally, it was further revealed that NLRP3 agonist enhanced the viral replication, but NLRP3 inhibitor suppressed the viral replication, suggesting that NLRP3-driven pyroptosis might support CV-A16 and CV-A10 production in SH-SY5Y cells. Together, our findings demonstrated a mechanism by which CV-A16 and CV-A10 induce inflammatory responses by evoking NLRP3 inflammasome-regulated pyroptosis, which in turn further stimulated the viral replication, providing novel insights into the pathogenesis of CV-A16 and CV-A10 infections.

Abstract
The dynamic interface between invading viral pathogens and programmed cell death (PCD) of the host is a finely regulated process. Host cellular demise at the end of the viral life cycle ensures the release of progeny virions to initiate new infection cycles. Rotavirus (RV), a diarrheagenic virus with double-stranded RNA genome, has been reported to trigger different types of PCD such as apoptosis and pyroptosis in a highly regulated way to successfully disseminate progeny virions. Recently our lab also showed that induction of MLKL-driven programmed necroptosis by RV. However, the host cellular machinery involved in RV-induced necroptosis and the upstream viral trigger responsible for it remained unaddressed. In the present study, the signalling upstream of MLKL-driven necroptosis has been delineated where the involvement of Receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 (RIPK3) and 1 (RIPK1) from the host side and RV non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) as the viral trigger for necroptosis has been shown. Interestingly, RV-NSP4 was found to be an integral component of the necrosome complex by interacting with RIPK1, thereby bypassing the requirement of RIPK1 kinase activity. Subsequently, NSP4-driven elevated cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and Ca2+-binding to NSP4 lead further to RHIM domain-dependent RIPK1-RIPK3 interaction, RIPK3-dependent MLKL phosphorylation, and eventual necroptosis. Overall, this study presents the interplay between RV-NSP4 and the host cellular necrosome complex to induce necroptotic death of host cells.

Rotavirus-induced lncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 promotes ferroptosis by targeting cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT (SLC7A11) to facilitate virus infection. Virus Res 2024; 339:199261.

Abstract
Rotavirus (RV) is the primary etiological agent of virus-associated gastroenteritis in infants, causing 200,000 childhood death annually. Despite the availability of vaccines, rotaviral diarrhea continues to be a severe issue in underdeveloped nations in Asia and Africa. The situation demands continual studies on host-rotavirus interactions to understand disease pathogenesis and develop effective antiviral therapeutics. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are a subset of non-coding RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides in length, are reported to play a regulatory function in numerous viral infections. Virus infection often alters the host transcriptome including lncRNA that are differentially expressed either to play an antiviral role or to be advantageous towards virus propagation. In the current study, qPCR array-based expression profiling of host lncRNAs was performed in rotavirus-infected HT-29 cells that identified the lncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 to be upregulated during RV infection. Knockdown of SLC7A11-AS1 conspicuously reduced RV titers implying its pro-viral significance. RV-induced SLC7A11-AS1 downregulates the gene SLC7A11/xCT that encodes the light chain subunit of the system XC- cystine-glutamate exchange transporter, leading to decrease in intracellular glutathione level and increase in lipid peroxidation, which are signature features of ferroptotic pathway. Ectopic expression of xCT also abrogated RV infection by reversing the virus optimized levels of intracellular GSH and lipid ROS levels. Cumulatively, the study reveals that RV infection triggers ferroptotic cell death via SLC7A11-AS1/xCT axis to facilitate its own propagation.

Abstract
The immune system functions to protect the host from pathogens. To counter host defense mechanisms, pathogens have developed unique strategies to evade detection or restrict host immune responses. Programmed cell death is a major contributor to the multiple host responses that help to eliminate infected cells for obligate intracellular pathogens like viruses. Initiation of programmed cell death pathways during the early stages of viral infections is critical for organismal survival as it restricts the virus from replicating and serves to drive antiviral inflammation immune recruitment through the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from the dying cell. Necroptosis has been implicated as a critical programmed cell death pathway in a diverse set of diseases and pathological conditions including acute viral infections. This cell death pathway occurs when certain host sensors are triggered leading to the downstream induction of mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). MLKL induction leads to cytoplasmic membrane disruption and subsequent cellular destruction with the release of DAMPs. As the role of this cell death pathway in human disease becomes apparent, methods identifying necroptosis patterns and outcomes will need to be further developed. Here, we discuss advances in our understanding of how viruses counteract necroptosis, methods to quantify the pathway, its effects on viral pathogenesis, and its impact on cellular signaling.

Abstract
The spliceosome is a massive ribonucleoprotein structure composed of five small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complexes that catalyze the removal of introns from pre-mature RNA during constitutive and alternative splicing. EFTUD2, PRPF8, and SNRNP200 are core components of the U5 snRNP, which is crucial for spliceosome function as it coordinates and performs the last steps of the splicing reaction. Several studies have demonstrated U5 snRNP proteins as targeted during viral infection, with a limited understanding of their involvement in virus-host interactions. In the present study, we deciphered the respective impact of EFTUD2, PRPF8, and SNRNP200 on viral replication using mammalian reovirus as a model. Using a combination of RNA silencing, real-time cell analysis, cell death and viral replication assays, we discovered distinct and partially overlapping novel roles for EFTUD2, PRPF8, and SNRNP200 in cell survival, apoptosis, necroptosis, and the induction of the interferon response pathway. For instance, we demonstrated that EFTUD2 and SNRNP200 are required for both apoptosis and necroptosis, whereas EFTUD2 and PRPF8 are required for optimal interferon response against viral infection. Moreover, we demonstrated that EFTUD2 restricts viral replication, both in a single cycle and multiple cycles of viral replication. Altogether, these results establish U5 snRNP core components as key elements of the cellular antiviral response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotavirus is the foremost cause of acute gastroenteritis among infants in resource-poor countries, causing severe morbidity and mortality. The currently available rotavirus vaccines are effective in reducing severity of the disease but not the infection rates, thus antivirals as an adjunct therapy are needed to reduce the morbidity in children. Viruses rely on host cellular machinery for nearly every step of the replication cycle. Therefore, targeting host factors that are indispensable for virus replication could be a promising strategy. OBJECTIVES To assess the therapeutic potential of ivermectin and importazole against rotaviruses. METHODS Antirotaviral activity of importazole and ivermectin was measured against various rotavirus strains (RV-SA11, RV-Wa, RV-A5-13, RV-EW) in vitro and in vivo by quantifying viral protein expression by western blot, analysing viroplasm formation by confocal microscopy, and measuring virus yield by plaque assay. RESULTS Importin-β1 and Ran were found to be induced during rotavirus infection. Knocking down importin-β1 severely impaired rotavirus replication, suggesting a critical role for importin-β1 in the rotavirus life cycle. In vitro studies revealed that treatment of ivermectin and importazole resulted in reduced synthesis of viral proteins, diminished production of infectious virus particles, and decrease in viroplasm-positive cells. Mechanistic study proved that both drugs perform antirotavirus activity by inhibiting the function of importin-β1. In vivo investigations in mice also confirmed the antirotavirus potential of importazole and ivermectin at non-toxic doses. Treatments of rotavirus-infected mice with either drug resulted in diminished shedding of viral particles in the stool sample, reduced expression of viral protein in the small intestine and restoration of damaged intestinal villi comapared to untreated infected mice. CONCLUSIONS The study highlights the potential of importazole and ivermectin as antirotavirus therapeutics.

Abstract
The biology of the viral life cycle essentially includes two structural and functional entities—the viral genome and protein machinery constituting the viral arsenal and an array of host cellular components which the virus closely associates with—to ensure successful perpetuation. The obligatory requirements of the virus to selectively evade specific host cellular factors while exploiting certain others have been immensely important to provide the platform for designing host-directed antiviral therapeutics. Although the spectrum of host-virus interaction is multifaceted, host factors that particularly influence viral replication have immense therapeutic importance. During lytic proliferation, viruses usually form replication factories which are specialized subcellular structures made up of viral proteins and replicating nucleic acids. These viral niches remain distinct from the rest of the cellular milieu, but they effectively allow spatial proximity to selective host determinants. Here, we will focus on the interaction between the replication compartments of a double stranded RNA virus rotavirus (RV) and the host cellular determinants of infection. RV, a diarrheagenic virus infecting young animals and children, forms replication bodies termed viroplasms within the host cell cytoplasm. Importantly, viroplasms also serve as the site for transcription and early morphogenesis of RVs and are very dynamic in nature. Despite advances in the understanding of RV components that constitute the viroplasmic architecture, knowledge of the contribution of host determinants to viroplasm dynamicity has remained limited. Emerging evidence suggests that selective host determinants are sequestered inside or translocated adjacent to the RV viroplasms. Functional implications of such host cellular reprogramming are also ramifying—disarming the antiviral host determinants and usurping the pro-viral components to facilitate specific stages of the viral life cycle. Here, we will provide a critical update on the wide variety of host cellular pathways that have been reported to regulate the spatial and temporal dynamicity of RV viroplasms. We will also discuss the methods used so far to study the host-viroplasm interactions and emphasize on the potential host factors which can be targeted for therapeutic intervention in the future.

Abstract
The fate of a viral infection in the host begins with various types of cellular responses, such as abortive, productive, latent, and destructive infections. Apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis are the three major types of regulated cell death mechanisms that play critical roles in viral infection response. Cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, bleb formation, and retained membrane integrity are all signs of osmotic imbalance-driven cytoplasmic swelling and early membrane damage in necroptosis and pyroptosis. Caspase-driven apoptotic cell demise is considered in many circumstances as an anti-inflammatory, and some pathogens hijack the cell death signaling routes to initiate a targeted attack against the host. In this review, the selected mechanisms by which viruses interfere with cell death were discussed in-depth and were illustrated by compiling the general principles and cellular signaling mechanisms of virus–host-specific molecule interactions.
