Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:8852-8873. [PMID: 39194740 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46080523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 08/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are widely regarded as signaling molecules and play essential roles in various cellular processes, but when present in excess, they can lead to oxidative stress (OS). Growing evidence suggests that the OS plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of HIV infection and is associated with several comorbidities in HIV-infected individuals. ROS, generated both naturally during mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and as a response to various cellular processes, can trigger host antiviral responses but can also promote viral replication. While the multifaceted roles of ROS in HIV pathophysiology clearly need more investigation, this review paper unravels the mechanisms of OS generation in the context of HIV infections, offering insights into HIV viral protein-mediated and antiretroviral therapy-generated OS. Though the viral protein Tat is significantly attributed to the endogenous cellular increase in ROS post HIV infection, this paper sums up the contribution of other viral proteins in HIV-mediated elicitation of ROS. Given the investigations recognizing the significant role of ROS in the onset and progression of diverse pathologies, the paper also explores the critical function of ROS in the mediation of an of array of pathologies associated with HIV infection and retroviral therapy. HIV patients are observed with disruption to the antioxidant defense system, the antioxidant therapy is gaining focus as a potential therapeutic intervention and is well discussed. While ROS play a significant role in the HIV scenario, further exploratory studies are imperative to identifying alternative therapeutic strategies that could mitigate the toxicities and pathologies associated with ART-induced OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation and fibrosis are characteristics of silicosis, and the inflammatory mediators involved in silicosis have not been fully elucidated. Recently, macrophage-derived exosomes have been reported to be inflammatory modulators, but their role in silicosis has not been explored. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of macrophage-derived exosomal high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) in silica-induced pulmonary inflammation. METHODS The induction of the inflammatory response and the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages were evaluated by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and transwell assays. The expression of inflammatory cytokines was examined by RT-PCR and ELISA, and the signalling pathways involved were examined by western blot analysis. RESULTS HMGB3 expression was increased in exosomes derived from silica-exposed macrophages. Exosomal HMGB3 significantly upregulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines, activated the STAT3/MAPK (ERK1/2 and p38)/NF-κB pathways in monocytes/macrophages, and promoted the migration of these cells by CCR2. CONCLUSIONS Exosomal HMGB3 is a proinflammatory modulator of silica-induced inflammation that promotes the inflammatory response and recruitment of monocytes/macrophages by regulating the activation of the STAT3/MAPK/NF-κB/CCR2 pathways.

Abstract
In the increasing demand for virus vaccines, large-scale production of safe, efficient, and economical viral antigens has become a significant challenge. High-cell-density manufacturing processes are the most commonly used to produce vaccine antigens and protein drugs. However, the cellular stress response in large-scale cell culture may directly affect host cell growth and metabolism, reducing antigen production and increasing production costs. This study provided a novel strategy of the antioxidant auxiliary system (AAS) to supply molecular hydrogen (H2) into the cell culture media via proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis. Integrated with a high-density cell bioreactor, the AAS aims to alleviate cellular stress response and increase viral vaccine production. In the results, the AAS stably maintained H2 concentration in media even in the high-air exposure tiding cell bioreactor. H2 treatment was shown safe to cell culture and effectively alleviated oxidative stress. In two established virus cultures models, bovine epidemic fever virus (BEFV) and porcine circovirus virus type 2 (PCV-2), were employed to verify the efficacy of AAS. The virus yield was increased by 3.7 and 2.5 folds in BEFV and PCV-2 respectively. In conclusion, the AAS-connected bioreactor effectively alleviated cellular oxidative stress and enhanced virus production in high-density cell culture.

Abstract
Lysosome-mediated autophagy and caspase-dependent apoptosis are dynamic processes that maintain cellular homeostasis, ensuring cell health and functionality. The intricate interplay and reciprocal regulation between autophagy and apoptosis are implicated in various human diseases, including cancer. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a nonhistone chromosomal protein, plays a pivotal role in coordinating autophagy and apoptosis levels during tumor initiation, progression, and therapy. The regulation of autophagy machinery and the apoptosis pathway by HMGB1 is influenced by various factors, including the protein's subcellular localization, oxidative state, and interactions with binding partners. In this narrative review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of HMGB1, with a specific focus on the interplay between autophagic degradation and apoptotic death in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the significance of HMGB1 as a biomarker and its potential as a therapeutic target in tumor diseases is crucial for advancing our knowledge of cell survival and cell death.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126414. [PMID: 37634785 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126414] [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: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Ferritin is an iron-binding protein composed of light-chain and heavy-chain homologs with a molecular weight of about 500 kDa. Free iron ions significantly affect reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Previous research has shown that Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) can increase ROS accumulation, activate autophagy, induce apoptosis, and upregulate the expression of B. mori ferritin heavy-chain homolog (BmFerHCH). However, the mechanism of mutual regulation between BmFerHCH and ROS-mediated autophagy and apoptosis induced by BmNPV remains unclear. In this study, we found that BmNPV induced the time-dependent accumulation of ROS in BmN cells, thereby promoting BmFerHCH expression. Interestingly, in BmFerHCH-overexpressed cells, BmNPV replication was inhibited in the first 18 h after infection but stimulated after 24 h. Further research on H2O2 or antioxidant-treated cells indicated that ROS-induced autophagy slightly increased in the early infection stage and increased BmNPV replication, while in the late stage, a large accumulation of ROS induced apoptosis and inhibited BmNPV replication. In this process, BmFerHCH inhibits BmNPV-induced ROS accumulation by chelating Fe2+. Taken together, BmFerHCH regulates ROS-mediated autophagy and apoptosis to achieve its various effects on BmNPV replication. These findings will help elucidate BmNPV-induced autophagy and apoptosis mediated by ROS and BmFerHCH, as well as the mutually fighting relationship between viruses and hosts.

Abstract
A prospective randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to determine whether antioxidant supplementation as an adjunct therapy alters hemogram, oxidative stress, serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein-2 (IFABP-2) level, fecal viral load, clinical score (CS) and survivability in outpatient canine parvovirus enteritis (CPVE) dogs. The dogs with CPVE were randomized to one of the five treatment groups: supportive treatment (ST) alone, ST with N-acetylcysteine (ST+NAC), resveratrol (ST+RES), coenzyme Q10 (ST+CoQ10) or ascorbic acid (ST+AA). The primary outcome measures were reduction of CS and fecal HA titre, and enhancement of survivability. Secondary outcome measures were reduction of oxidative stress indices and IFABP-2 level from day 0 to day 7. The mean CS and HA titre were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased from day 0 to 7 in ST and all antioxidant groups. The supplementations of NAC, RES and AA along with ST markedly (P < 0.05) reduced the concentrations of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide and IFABP-2 on day 7 as compared to ST alone. Additionally, NAC and RES supplementations markedly (P < 0.05) improved the total leukocyte count and neutrophil count in CPVE-affected dogs. NAC and RES could serve as better antioxidants for the amelioration of oxidative stress in CPVE but, the antioxidants did not confer any additional benefits in reduction of CS, fecal HA tire, or survivability when compared with ST alone.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced viral myocarditis (VMC) is characterized by immune cell infiltration and myocardial damage. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a highly conserved nuclear DNA-binding protein that participates in DNA replication, transcriptional regulation, repair response and inflammatory response in different disease models. To investigate the exact function of HMGB1 in CVB3-induced VMC, we crossed Hmgb1-floxed (Hmgb1f/f ) mice with mice carrying a suitable Cre recombinase transgenic strain to achieve conditional inactivation of the Hmgb1 gene in a cardiomyocyte-specific manner and to establish myocarditis. In this study, we found that cardiomyocyte-specific Hmgb1-deficient (Hmgb1f/f TgCre/+ ) mice exhibited exacerbated myocardial injury. Hmgb1-deficient cardiomyocytes may promote early apoptosis via the p53-mediated Bax mitochondrial pathway, as evidenced by the higher localization of p53 protein in the cytosol of Hmgb1-deficient cardiomyocytes upon CVB3 infection. Moreover, cardiomyocyte Hmgb1-deficient mice are more susceptible to cardiac dysfunction after infection. This study provides new insights into HMGB1 in VMC pathogenesis and a strategy for appropriate blocking of HMGB1 in the clinical treatment of VMC.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous and highly conserved non-histone DNA-binding protein with different biological functions according to its subcellular localization. It is widely believed that HMGB1, which is released into the extracellular space, plays a key role in the inflammatory response. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that the development of various neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebrovascular disease and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are inextricably linked to inflammation. We will review the mechanisms of HMGB1 and its receptors in nervous system inflammation to provide a basis for further development of new HMGB1-based therapies.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is associated with several economically important diseases that are described as PCV2-associated diseases (PCVADs). PCV2 is replicating in lymphoblasts, and PCV2 particles are taken up by monocytes without effective replication or complete degradation. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been demonstrated to be important receptors for PCV2 binding and entry in T-lymphocytes and continuous cell lines. The objective of this study was to determine whether differences exist in viral uptake and outcome among six PCV2 strains from different disease outbreaks in primary porcine monocytes: Stoon-1010 (PCV2a; PMWS), 1121 (PCV2a; abortion), 1147 (PCV2b; PDNS), 09V448 (PCV2d-1; PCVAD with high viral load in lymphoid tissues [PCVADhigh]), DE222-13 (PCV2d-2; PCVADhigh), and 19V245 (PCV2d-2; PCVADhigh). The uptake of PCV2 in peripheral blood monocytes was different among the PCV2 strains. A large number of PCV2 particles were found in the monocytes for Stoon-1010, DE222-13, and 19V245, while a low number was found for 1121, 1147, and 09V448. Competition with, and removal of GAGs on the cell surface, demonstrated an important role of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) in PCV2 entry into monocytes. The mapping of positively/negatively charged amino acids exposed on the surface of PCV2 capsids revealed that their number and distribution could have an impact on the binding of the capsids to GAGs, and the internalization into monocytes. Based on the distribution of positively charged amino acids on PCV2 capsids, phosphacan was hypothesized, and further demonstrated, as an effective candidate to mediate virus attachment to, and internalization in, monocytes. IMPORTANCE PCV2 is present on almost every pig farm in the world and is associated with a high number of diseases (PCV2-associated diseases [PCVADs]). It causes severe economic losses. Although vaccination is successfully applied in the field, there are still a lot of unanswered questions on the pathogenesis of PCV2 infections. This article reports on the uptake difference of various PCV2 strains by peripheral blood monocytes, and reveals the mechanism of the strong viral uptake ability of monocytes of Piétrain pigs. We further demonstrated that: (i) GAGs mediate the uptake of PCV2 particles by monocytes, (ii) positively charged three-wings-windmill-like amino acid patterns on the capsid outer surface are activating PCV2 uptake, and (iii) phosphacan is one of the potential candidates for PCV2 internalization. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms involved in PCVAD and contribute to a better understanding of PCV2 evolution. This may lead to the development of resistant pigs.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the causative agent of PCV2-associated disease, which causes a relevant economic impact on the global swine industry. Accumulating data have indicated host microRNAs play essential roles in numerous virus replication of pigs, while their roles in PCV2 replication remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that PCV2 infection downregulated the expression of miR-214-5p in PK15 cells, and miR-214-5p promoted PCV2 replication. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 1 (C1QTNF1) was then identified as a target gene of miR-214-5p, and C1QTNF1 suppressed PCV2 replication. Interestingly, miR-214-5p/C1QTNF1 axis negatively regulated AKT/mTOR signaling, and then enhanced PCV2 replication through promoting autophagy in PK15 cells. Collectively, our findings provide insight into the mechanism of PCV2 replication and highlight miR-214-5p and C1QTNF1 as potential novel targets for the treatment of PCV2 infection.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and oxidative stress. These cellular responses could be connected with apoptosis. However, the mechanisms that link ER stress and oxidative stress in PCV2-induced apoptosis are poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that PCV2 infection increased expression of proapoptotic protein C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and ER oxidoreductase 1 alpha (ERO1α). Inhibition of CHOP by RNA silencing or inhibition of ERO1α by short hairpin RNA or EN460 repressed PCV2-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cytosolic calcium level, and apoptotic rate in PK-15 cells. Overexpression of ERO1α enhanced PCV2-induced oxidative stress, caspase-3 cleavage, and apoptosis rate. Treatment of PCV2-infected cells with ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine downregulated PCV2-induced ROS production, cytosolic calcium level, and apoptosis rate, but intriguingly decreased expression of CHOP and ERO1α. Thus, we propose that PCV2 induces apoptosis through ER Stress via CHOP-ERO1α-ROS signaling in host cells.

Abstract
Porcine circoviruses (PCVs), including PCV1 to PCV4, are non-enveloped DNA viruses with a diameter of about 20 nm, belonging to the genus Circovirus in the family Circoviridae. PCV2 is an important causative agent of porcine circovirus disease or porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVD/PCVAD), which is highly prevalent in pigs and seriously affects the swine industry globally. Furthermore, PCV2 mainly causes subclinical symptoms and immunosuppression, and PCV3 and PCV4 were detected in healthy pigs, sick pigs, and other animals. Although the pathogenicity of PCV3 and PCV4 in the field is still controversial, the infection rates of PCV3 and PCV4 in pigs are increasing. Moreover, PCV3 and PCV4 rescued from infected clones were pathogenic in vivo. It is worth noting that the interaction between virus and host is crucial to the infection and pathogenicity of the virus. This review discusses the latest research progress on the molecular mechanism of PCVs–host interaction, which may provide a scientific basis for disease prevention and control.

Intervening Effects and Molecular Mechanism of Quercitrin on PCV2-Induced Histone Acetylation, Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in 3D4/2 Cells. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11050941. [PMID: 35624806 PMCID: PMC9137775 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11050941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the main pathogen causing porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVD/PCVADs), and infection of the host induces immunosuppression. Since quercitrin (QUE) has anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity, it is worth exploiting in animal diseases. In this study, the interventional effects and the molecular mechanism of QUE on PCV2-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in 3D4/2 cells and the modulation of histone acetylation modifications were investigated. The ROS production was measured by DCFH-DA fluorescent probes. HAT and HDAC enzyme activity were determined by ELISA. Histone acetylation, oxidative stress and inflammation-related gene expression levels were measured by q-PCR. Histone H3 and H4 (AcH3 and AcH4) acetylation, oxidative stress and inflammation-related protein expression levels were measured by Western blot. The results showed that QUE treatment at different concentrations on PCV2-infected 3D4/2 cells was able to attenuate the production of ROS. Moreover, QUE treatment could also intervene in oxidative stress and decrease the enzyme activity of HAT and the mRNA expression level of HAT1, while it increased the enzyme activity of HDAC and HDAC1 mRNA expression levels and downregulated histone H3 and H4 (AcH3 and AcH4) acetylation modification levels. In addition, QUE treatment even downregulated the mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, IκB, AKT and p38, but upregulated the mRNA expression levels of IL-10, SOD, GPx1, p65, Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1. As to protein expression, QUE treatment downregulated the levels of iNOS, p-p65 and IL-8 as well as the phosphorylation expression of IκB and p38, while it upregulated the levels of HO-1 and NQO1. It was shown that QUE at 25, 50 or 100 μmol/L regulated p38MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways by downregulating cellular histone acetylation modification levels while inhibiting the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway and activating the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway, thus regulating the production of inflammatory and antioxidant factors and exerting both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Abstract
An extensive understanding of the interactions between host cellular and viral proteins provides clues for studying novel antiviral strategies. Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) and type 4 (PCV4) have recently been identified as viruses that can potentially damage the swine industry. Herein, 401 putative PCV3 Cap-binding and 484 putative PCV4 Cap-binding proteins were characterized using co-immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both PCV3 and PCV4 Caps shared 278 identical interacting proteins, but some putative interacting proteins (123 for PCV3 Cap and 206 for PCV4 Cap) differed. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, and according to gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database analyses, both PCV3 Cap- and PCV4 Cap-binding proteins participated mainly in ribosome biogenesis, nucleic acid binding, and ATP-dependent RNA helicase activities. Verification assays of eight putative interacting proteins indicated that nucleophosmin-1, nucleolin, DEAD-box RNA helicase 21, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1, YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1, and Y-box binding protein 1 bound directly to both PCV3 and PCV4 Caps, but ring finger protein 2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 did not. Therefore, the interaction network provided helpful information to support further research into the underlying mechanisms of PCV3 and PCV4 infection.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone nuclear protein that has multiple functions according to its subcellular location. In the nucleus, HMGB1 is a DNA chaperone that maintains the structure and function of chromosomes. In the cytoplasm, HMGB1 can promote autophagy by binding to BECN1 protein. After its active secretion or passive release, extracellular HMGB1 usually acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule, regulating inflammation and immune responses through different receptors or direct uptake. The secretion and release of HMGB1 is fine-tuned by a variety of factors, including its posttranslational modification (e.g., acetylation, ADP-ribosylation, phosphorylation, and methylation) and the molecular machinery of cell death (e.g., apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, alkaliptosis, and ferroptosis). In this minireview, we introduce the basic structure and function of HMGB1 and focus on the regulatory mechanism of HMGB1 secretion and release. Understanding these topics may help us develop new HMGB1-targeted drugs for various conditions, especially inflammatory diseases and tissue damage. A nuclear protein that gets released after cell death or is actively secreted by immune cells offers a promising therapeutic target for treating diseases linked to excessive inflammation. Daolin Tang from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA, and colleagues review how cellular stresses can trigger the accumulation of HMGB1, a type of alarm signal protein that promotes the recruitment and activation of inflammation-promoting immune cells. The researchers discuss various mechanisms that drive both passive and active release of HMGB1 into the space around cells. These processes, which include enzymatic modifications of the HMGB1 protein, cell–cell interactions and molecular pathways of cell death, could be targeted by drugs to lessen tissue damage and inflammatory disease caused by HMGB1-induced immune responses

Intracellular translocation of HMGB1 is important for Zika virus replication in Huh7 cells. Sci Rep 2022; 12:1054.

Abstract
Neonatal microcephaly and adult Guillain-Barré syndrome are severe complications of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. The robustly induced inflammatory cytokine expressions in ZIKV-infected patients may constitute a hallmark for severe disease. In the present study, the potential role of high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in ZIKV infection was investigated. HMGB1 protein expression was determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot assay. HMGB1's role in ZIKV infection was also explored using treatment with dexamethasone, an immunomodulatory drug, and HMGB1-knockdown (shHMGB1) Huh7 cells. Results showed that the Huh7 cells were highly susceptible to ZIKV infection. The infection was found to induce HMGB1 nuclear-to-cytoplasmic translocation, resulting in a > 99% increase in the cytosolic HMGB1 expression at 72-h post-infection (h.p.i). The extracellular HMGB1 level was elevated in a time- and multiplicity of infection (MOI)-dependent manner. Treatment of the ZIKV-infected cells with dexamethasone (150 µM) reduced HMGB1 extracellular release in a dose-dependent manner, with a maximum reduction of 71 ± 5.84% (P < 0.01). The treatment also reduced virus titers by over 83 ± 0.50% (P < 0.01). The antiviral effects, however, were not observed in the dexamethasone-treated shHMGB1 cells. These results suggest that translocation of HMGB1 occurred during ZIKV infection and inhibition of the translocation by dexamethasone coincided with a reduction in ZIKV replication. These findings highlight the potential of targeting the localization of HMGB1 in affecting ZIKV infection.

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a typical insect-borne flavivirus and an important zoonotic pathogen that causes human viral encephalitis and reproductive failure in pigs. Various strategies were utilized by JEV to facilitate its replication. It is important to identify key molecules that mediate JEV infection, as well as to investigate their underlying mechanism. In this study, the critical role of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a non-histone, DNA-binding protein, was assessed in JEV propagation. Upon JEV infection, the HMGB1 mRNA and protein levels were down-regulated at late infection in Huh7 cells. JEV replication was significantly enhanced with HMGB1 knock-down by siRNA and knock-out by the CRISPR/Cas9 system, whereas JEV growth was restricted in HMGB1-over-expressed Huh7 cells. Further investigation showed that HMGB1 suppressed MAPK pathway, and demonstrated that the weakening of MAPK pathway negatively regulated JEV infection. Together, these results suggested that JEV restricted HMGB1 expression to maintain MAPK pathway activation for viral replication. Our data showed that HMGB1 played a key role in JEV infection, providing the potential for the development of a novel drug to combat JEV infection.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enteric coronavirus causing acute intestinal infection in pigs, with high mortality often seen in neonatal pigs. The newborns rely on innate immune responses against invading pathogens because of lacking adaptive immunity. However, how PEDV disables the innate immunity of newborns toward severe infection remains unknown. We found that PEDV infection led to reduced expression of histone deacetylases (HDACs), especially HDAC1, in porcine IPEC-J2 cells. HDACs are considered important regulators of innate immunity. We hypothesized that PEDV interacts with certain host factors to regulate HDAC1 expression in favor of its replication. We show that HDAC1 acted as a negative regulator of PEDV replication in IPEC-J2 cells, as shown by chemical inhibition, gene knockout, and overexpression. A GC-box (GCCCCACCCCC) within the HDAC1 promoter region was identified for Sp1 binding in IPEC-J2 cells. Treatment of the cells with Sp1 inhibitor mithramycin A inhibited HDAC1 expression, indicating direct regulation of HDAC1 expression by Sp1. Of the viral proteins that were overexpressed in IPEC-J2 cells, the N protein was found to be present in the nuclei and more inhibitory to HDAC1 transcription. The putative nuclear localization sequence 261PKKNKSR267 contributed to its nuclear localization. The N protein interacted with Sp1 and interfered with its binding to the promoter region, thereby inhibiting its transcriptional activity for HDAC1 expression. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of PEDV evasion of the host responses, offering implications for studying the infection processes of other coronaviruses. IMPORTANCE The enteric coronavirus porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes fatal acute intestinal infection in neonatal pigs that rely on innate immune responses. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play important roles in innate immune regulation. Our study found PEDV suppresses HDAC1 expression via the interaction of its N protein and porcine Sp1, which identified a novel mechanism of PEDV evasion of the host responses to benefit its replication. This study suggests that other coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, also make use of their N proteins to intercept the host immune responses in favor of their infection.

Porcine circovirus 2 manipulates PERK-ERO1α axis of endoplasmic reticulum in favor of its replication by derepressing viral DNA from HMGB1 sequestration within nuclei. J Virol 2021; 95:e0100921.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) causes several disease syndromes in grower pigs. PCV2 infection triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, autophagy and oxidative stress, all of which support PCV2 replication. We have recently reported that nuclear HMGB1 is an anti-PCV2 factor by binding to viral genomic DNA. However, how PCV2 manipulates host cell responses to favor its replication has not been explored. Here, we demonstrate that PCV2 infection increased expression of ERO1α, generation of ROS and nucleocytoplasmic migration of HMGB1 via PERK activation in PK-15 cells. Inhibition of PERK or ERO1α repressed ROS production in PCV2-infected cells and increased HMGB1 retention within nuclei. These findings indicate that PCV2-induced activation of the PERK-ERO1α axis would lead to enhanced generation of ROS sufficient to decrease HMGB1 retention in the nuclei, thus derepressing viral DNA from HMGB1 sequestration. The viral Rep and Cap proteins were able to induce PERK-ERO1α-mediated ROS accumulation. Cysteine residues 107 and 305 of Rep or 108 of Cap played important roles in PCV2-induced PERK activation and distribution of HMGB1. Of the mutant viruses, only the mutant PCV2 with substitution of all three cysteine residues failed to activate PERK with reduced ROS generation and decreased nucleocytoplasmic migration of HMGB1. Collectively, this study offers novel insight into the mechanism of enhanced viral replication in which PCV2 manipulates ER to perturb its redox homeostasis via the PERK-ERO1α axis and the ER-sourced ROS from oxidative folding is sufficient to reduce HMGB1 retention in the nuclei, hence the release of HMGB1-bound viral DNA for replication. IMPORTANCE Considering the fact that clinical PCVAD mostly results from activation of latent PCV2 infection by confounding factors such as co-infection or environmental stresses, we propose that such confounding factors might impose oxidative stress to the animals where PCV2 in infected cells might utilize the elevated ROS to promote HMGB1 migration out of nuclei in favor of its replication. An animal infection model with a particular stressor could be approached with or without antioxidant treatment to examine the relationship among the stressor, ROS level, HMGB1 distribution in target tissues, virus replication and severity of PCVAD. This will help decide the use of antioxidants in the feeding regime on pig farms that suffer from PCVAD. Further investigation could examine if similar strategies are employed by DNA viruses, such as PCV3 and BFDV and if there is cross-talk among ER stress, autophagy/mitophagy and mitochondria-sourced ROS in favor of PCV2 replication.

Abstract
YWHAB is a PCV2 ORF5-interacting host factor. YWHAB expression is activated by PCV2 infection and ORF5 transfection. YWHAB inhibits PCV2 replication. YWHAB alleviates PCV2 infection induced ERS, autophagy, ROS production and apoptosis.
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection causes porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVAD) worldwide. Identification of host factors that interact with viral proteins is a fundamental step to understand the pathogenesis of PCV2. Our previous study reported that ORF5, a newly identified PCV2 viral protein supports PCV2 replication and interacts with multiple host factors. Here, we showed that a host factor YWHAB is an ORF5-interacting protein and plays essential roles during PCV2 infection. By using protein-protein interaction assays, we confirmed that YWHAB directly interacts with PCV2-ORF5 protein. We further showed that YWHAB expression was potently induced upon ORF5 overexpression and PCV2 infection. Remarkably, we found that the YWHAB strongly inhibited PCV2 replication, suggesting its role in defending PCV2 infection. By using the ectopic overexpression and gene knockdown approaches, we revealed that YWHAB inhibits PCV2-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), autophagy, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis, suggesting its vital role in alleviating PCV2-induced cellular damage. Together, this study demonstrated that an ORF5-interacting host factor YWHAB affects PCV2 infection and PCV2-induced cellular response, which expands the current understanding of YWHAB biological function and might serves as a new therapeutic target to manage PCV2 infection-associated diseases.
