Hypervirulent fowl adenovirus serotype 4 elicits early innate immune response and promotes virus-induced cellular autophagy in the spleen. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103831. [PMID: 38833958 PMCID: PMC11179077 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103831] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
The recent emergence of hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome caused by highly pathogenic fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) has resulted in significant economic losses to the poultry industry. However, the early innate immune response of immune organs within 24 hpi and the induction of autophagy in vivo after FAdV-4 infection have not been fully elucidated. In this study, 35-day-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens were artificially infected with hypervirulent FAdV-4, which resulted in a mortality rate of up to 90%. The results showed that FAdV-4 infection rapidly triggered the innate immune response in vivo of chickens, with the spleen eliciting a stronger innate immune response than the thymus and bursa. During the early stage of viral infection within 24 hpi, the main receptors TLR3/7/21, MDA5, and cGAS were activated via the NF-κB and TBK1/IRF7-dependent signaling pathways, which up-regulated production of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. Additionally, the expression levels of the autophagy-related molecules LC3B, Beclin1, and ATG5 were significantly up-regulated at 24 hpi, while degradation of SQSTM1/p62 was observed, suggesting that FAdV-4 infection elicits a complete autophagy response in the spleen. Besides, the colocalization of Fiber2 and LC3B suggested that FAdV-4 infection induced autophagy which benefits FAdV-4 replication in vivo. This study provides new insights into the immunoregulation signal pathways of the early innate immunity in response to hypervirulent FAdV-4 infection in vivo within 24 hpi and the close relationship between viral replication and autophagy.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important biological process in host defense against viral infection. However, many viruses have evolved various strategies to disrupt the host antiviral system. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a typical immunosuppressive virus with a large economic impact on the swine industry. At present, studies on the escape mechanism of PRRSV in the autophagy process, especially through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), are limited. This study confirmed that PRRSV glycoprotein 5 (GP5) could disrupt the formation of the GFAP-LAMP2A complex by inhibiting the MTORC2/PHLPP1/GFAP pathway, promoting the dissociation of the pGFAP-EF1α complex, and blocking the K63-linked polyubiquitination of LAMP2A to inhibit the activity of CMA. Further research demonstrated that CMA plays an anti-PRRSV role by antagonizing nonstructural protein 11 (NSP11)-mediated inhibition of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Taken together, these results indicate that PRRSV GP5 inhibits the antiviral effect of CMA by targeting LAMP2A. This research provides new insight into the escape mechanism of immunosuppressive viruses in CMA. IMPORTANCE Viruses have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to manipulate autophagy to evade degradation and immune responses. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a typical immunosuppressive virus that causes enormous economic losses in the swine industry. However, the mechanism by which PRRSV manipulates autophagy to defend against host antiviral effects remains unclear. In this study, we found that PRRSV GP5 interacts with LAMP2A and disrupts the formation of the GFAP-LAMP2A complex, thus inhibiting the activity of CMA and subsequently enhancing the inhibitory effect of the NSP11-mediated IFN-I signaling pathway, ultimately facilitating PRRSV replication. Our study revealed a novel mechanism by which PRRSV escapes host antiviral effects through CMA, providing a potential host target, LAMP2A, for developing antiviral drugs and contributing to understanding the escape mechanism of immunosuppressive viruses.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) constitute a group of disorders characterized by the progressive deterioration of nervous system functionality. Currently, the precise etiological factors responsible for NDs remain incompletely elucidated, although it is probable that a combination of aging, genetic predisposition, and environmental stressors participate in this process. Accumulating evidence indicates that viral infections, especially neurotropic viruses, can contribute to the onset and progression of NDs. In this review, emerging evidence supporting the association between viral infection and NDs is summarized, and how the autophagy pathway mediated by viral infection can cause pathological aggregation of cellular proteins associated with various NDs is discussed. Furthermore, autophagy-related genes (ARGs) involved in Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) infection and NDs are analyzed, and whether these genes could link HSV-1 infection to NDs is discussed. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying NDs is critical for developing targeted therapeutic approaches that prevent the onset and slow the progression of NDs.

Picornavirus VP3 protein induces autophagy through the TP53-BAD-BAX axis to promote viral replication. Autophagy 2024:1-20. [PMID: 38752369 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2024.2350270] [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: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy and apoptosis are pivotal interconnected host cell responses to viral infection, including picornaviruses. Here, the VP3 proteins of picornaviruses were determined to trigger autophagy, with the autophagic flux being triggered by the TP53-BAD-BAX axis. Using foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) as a model system, we unraveled a novel mechanism of how picornavirus hijacks autophagy to bolster viral replication and enhance pathogenesis. FMDV infection induced both autophagy and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. FMDV VP3 protein facilitated the phosphorylation and translocation of TP53 from the nucleus into the mitochondria, resulting in BAD-mediated apoptosis and BECN1-mediated autophagy. The amino acid Gly129 in VP3 is essential for its interaction with TP53, and crucial for induction of autophagy and apoptosis. VP3-induced autophagy and apoptosis are both essential for FMDV replication, while, autophagy plays a more important role in VP3-mediated pathogenesis. Mutation of Gly129 to Ala129 in VP3 abrogated the autophagic regulatory function of VP3, which significantly decreased the viral replication and pathogenesis of FMDV. This suggested that VP3-induced autophagy benefits viral replication and pathogenesis. Importantly, this Gly is conserved and showed a common function in various picornaviruses. This study provides insight for developing broad-spectrum antivirals and genetic engineering attenuated vaccines against picornaviruses.Abbreviations: 3-MA, 3-methyladenine; ATG, autophagy related; BAD, BCL2 associated agonist of cell death; BAK1, BCL2 antagonist/killer 1; BAX, BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator; BBC3/PUMA, BCL2 binding component 3; BCL2, BCL2 apoptosis regulator; BID, BH3 interacting domain death agonist; BIP-V5, BAX inhibitor peptide V5; CFLAR/FLIP, CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator; CPE, cytopathic effects; CQ, chloroquine; CV, coxsackievirus; DAPK, death associated protein kinase; DRAM, DNA damage regulated autophagy modulator; EV71, enterovirus 71; FMDV, foot-and-mouth disease virus; HAV, hepatitis A virus; KD, knockdown; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MOI, multiplicity of infection; MTOR, mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; PML, promyelocytic leukemia; PV, poliovirus; SVA, Seneca Valley virus; TCID50, 50% tissue culture infectious doses; TOR, target of rapamycin.

Abstract
Autophagy is a constitutive cellular process of degradation required to maintain homeostasis and turn over spent organelles and aggregated proteins. For some viruses, the process can be antiviral, degrading viral proteins or virions themselves. For many other viruses, the induction of the autophagic process provides a benefit and promotes viral replication. In this Review, we survey the roles that the autophagic pathway plays in the replication of viruses. Most viruses that benefit from autophagic induction block autophagic degradation, which is a 'bend, but don't break' strategy initiating but limiting a potentially antiviral response. In almost all cases, it is other effects of the redirected autophagic machinery that benefit these viruses. This rapid mechanism to generate small double-membraned vesicles can be usurped to shape membranes for viral genome replication and virion maturation. However, data suggest that autophagic maintenance of cellular homeostasis is crucial for the initiation of infection, as viruses have evolved to replicate in normal, healthy cells. Inhibition of autophagic degradation is important once infection has initiated. Although true degradative autophagy is probably a negative for most viruses, initiating nondegradative autophagic membranes benefits a wide variety of viruses.

Elucidation for the pharmacological effects and mechanism of Shen Bai formula in treating myocardial injury based on energy metabolism and serum metabolomic approaches. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 323:117670. [PMID: 38160867 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Shen Bai formula (SBF) is a proven effective traditional Chinese medicine for treating viral myocarditis (VMC) sequelae in clinic, and myocardial injury is the pathological basis of VMC sequelae. However, the pharmacological action and mechanism of SBF have not been systematically elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY In present research, the doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury rat model was used to evaluate the efficacy of SBF, and energy metabolism and metabolomics approaches were applied to elucidate the effects of SBF on myocardial injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Through energy metabolism measurement system and UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS oriented blood metabolomics, directly reflected the therapeutic effect of SBF at a macro level, and identified biomarkers of myocardial injury in microcosmic, revealing its metabolomic mechanism. RESULTS Results showed that SBF significantly improved the electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), extent of myocardial tissue lesion, and ratio of heart and spleen. In addition, the serum levels of AST, CK, LDH, α-HBDH, cTnI, BNP, and MDA decreased, whereas SOD and ATP activity and content increased. Moreover, SBF increased locomotor activity and basic daily metabolism in rats with myocardial injury, restoring their usual level of energy metabolism. A total of 45 potential metabolomic biomarkers were identified. Among them, 44 biomarkers were significantly recalled by SBF, including representative biomarkers arachidonic acid (AA), 12-HETE, prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2), 15-deoxy-Δ-12,14-PGJ2, 15-keto-PGE2, 15(S)-HPETE, 15(S)-HETE, 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid and 9(S)-HODE, which involved AA metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and linoleic acid metabolism. CONCLUSION We successfully replicated a myocardial injury rat model with the intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin, and elucidated the mechanism of SBF in treating myocardial injury. This key mechanism may be achieved by targeting action on COX, Alox, CYP, and 15-PGDH to increase or decrease the level of myocardial injury biomarker, and then emphatically interven in AA metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and linoleic acid metabolism, and participate in regulating purine metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, and steroid hormone synthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a disease that seriously threatens maternal and fetal health. Appropriate autophagy can shield the placenta from oxidative stress, but its role in PE is unclear. OBJECTIVE To identify potential autophagy-related genes in PE. METHODS Microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, compassing the test dataset GSE10588, along with validation datasets GSE4707 and GSE60438 GPL10558, were utilized. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the limma R package, intersected with autophagy-related genes. Hub genes were obtained using the Cytoscape software and analyzed via gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The diagnostic capability of hub genes was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Analysis of immune cell infiltration was conducted using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT methods. Placental tissues were collected from 10 normal pregnant women and 10 preeclamptic pregnant women, and the expression of hub genes was validated through immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. RESULTS Analysis of the microarray data identified 2224 DEGs, among which 26 were autophagy-related DEGs identified through intersection with autophagy genes. Ten hub genes were identified. Immune cell infiltration analysis suggested the potential involvement of T regulatory cells (Tregs), natural killer cells, neutrophils, and T follicular helper cells in the pathogenesis of PE. ROC curve analysis indicated promising diagnostic capabilities for EGFR and TP53. Additionally, levels of EGFR and TP53 were significantly higher in placental tissue from PE pregnancies compared to normal pregnancies. CONCLUSION EGFR and TP53 may play a role in PE by influencing autophagy.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a non-enveloped, positive sense, single-stranded RNA virus that causes vesicular diseases in pigs. Interferon-induced transmembrane 3 (IFITM3) is an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) that exhibits broad antiviral activity. We investigated the role of IFITM3 in SVA replication. Both viral protein expression and supernatant virus titer were significantly increased when endogenous IFITM3 was knocked down by approximately 80% in human non-smallcell lung carcinoma cell line (NCI-H1299) compared to silencing RNA control. Interestingly, overexpression of exogenous IFITM3 in NCI-H1299 cells also significantly enhanced viral protein expression and virus titer compared to vector control, which was positively correlated with induction of autophagy mediated by IFITM3 overexpression. Overall, our results indicate an antiviral role of endogenous IFITM3 against SVA. The exact molecular mechanisms by which endogenous IFITM3 limits SVA replication remain to be determined in future studies.

Abstract
Bovine Parainfluenza virus Type 3 (BPIV3) is one of the most important pathogens in cattle, capable of causing severe respiratory symptoms. Numerous studies have shown that autophagy plays a diverse role in the infection process of various pathogens. The influence of autophagy machinery on BPIV3 infection has not yet been confirmed. In the present study, we initially demonstrated that the expression of LC3 was significantly increased and exhibited a notable increase in double or single-membrane vesicles under a transmission electron microscope during BPIV3 infection. These observations unequivocally establish the induction of steady-state autophagy in vitro consequent to BPIV3 infection. Furthermore, quantification of autophagic flux substantiates the induction of an incomplete autophagic process during BPIV3 infection. Additionally, through targeted interventions, we demonstrate the regulatory impact of pharmacological agents influencing autophagy and RNA interference targeting an autophagy-associated protein on viral replication. Intriguingly, our data revealed that BPIV3 infection enhanced the phosphorylation of rapamycin kinase (mTOR). This result demonstrated that mTOR does not operate as a counteractive regulator of BPIV3-induced autophagy. Instead, we discern an augmentation in the expression of Beclin1, a key autophagy initiator, which complexes with Vps34, constituting a Class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. This phenomenon serves as a hallmark in the inaugural phase of autophagy initiation during BPIV3 infection. Collectively, these discernments underscore that BPIV3 infection actively stimulates autophagy, thereby enhancing viral replication through the activation of Beclin1, independently of the mTOR signaling pathway. This nuanced comprehension significantly contributes to unraveling the intricate molecular mechanisms governing BPIV3-induced autophagy.

Abstract
Viruses have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to manipulate host cell processes and utilize intracellular organelles to facilitate their replication. These complex interactions between viruses and cellular organelles allow them to hijack the cellular machinery and impair homeostasis. Moreover, viral infection alters the cell membrane's structure and composition and induces vesicle formation to facilitate intracellular trafficking of viral components. However, the research focus has predominantly been on the immune response elicited by viruses, often overlooking the significant alterations that viruses induce in cellular organelles. Gaining a deeper understanding of these virus-induced cellular changes is crucial for elucidating the full life cycle of viruses and developing potent antiviral therapies. Exploring virus-induced cellular changes could substantially improve our understanding of viral infection mechanisms.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary drivers of the growing public health epidemic and the leading cause of premature mortality and economic burden worldwide. With decades of research, CVDs have been proven to be associated with the dysregulation of the inflammatory response, with macrophages playing imperative roles in influencing the prognosis of CVDs. Autophagy is a conserved pathway that maintains cellular functions. Emerging evidence has revealed an intrinsic connection between autophagy and macrophage functions. This review focuses on the role and underlying mechanisms of autophagy-mediated regulation of macrophage plasticity in polarization, inflammasome activation, cytokine secretion, metabolism, phagocytosis, and the number of macrophages. In addition, autophagy has been shown to connect macrophages and heart cells. It is attributed to specific substrate degradation or signalling pathway activation by autophagy-related proteins. Referring to the latest reports, applications targeting macrophage autophagy have been discussed in CVDs, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and myocarditis. This review describes a novel approach for future CVD therapies.

ATG7/GAPLINC/IRF3 axis plays a critical role in regulating pathogenesis of influenza A virus. PLoS Pathog 2024; 20:e1011958.

Abstract
Autophagy-related protein 7 (ATG7) is an essential autophagy effector enzyme. Although it is well known that autophagy plays crucial roles in the infections with various viruses including influenza A virus (IAV), function and underlying mechanism of ATG7 in infection and pathogenesis of IAV remain poorly understood. Here, in vitro studies showed that ATG7 had profound effects on replication of IAV. Depletion of ATG7 markedly attenuated the replication of IAV, whereas overexpression of ATG7 facilitated the viral replication. ATG7 conditional knockout mice were further employed and exhibited significantly resistant to viral infections, as evidenced by a lower degree of tissue injury, slower body weight loss, and better survival, than the wild type animals challenged with either IAV (RNA virus) or pseudorabies virus (DNA virus). Interestingly, we found that ATG7 promoted the replication of IAV in autophagy-dependent and -independent manners, as inhibition of autophagy failed to completely block the upregulation of IAV replication by ATG7. To determine the autophagy-independent mechanism, transcriptome analysis was utilized and demonstrated that ATG7 restrained the production of interferons (IFNs). Loss of ATG7 obviously enhanced the expression of type I and III IFNs in ATG7-depleted cells and mice, whereas overexpression of ATG7 impaired the interferon response to IAV infection. Consistently, our experiments demonstrated that ATG7 significantly suppressed IRF3 activation during the IAV infection. Furthermore, we identified long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) GAPLINC as a critical regulator involved in the promotion of IAV replication by ATG7. Importantly, both inactivation of IRF3 and inhibition of IFN response caused by ATG7 were mediated through control over GAPLINC expression, suggesting that GAPLINC contributes to the suppression of antiviral immunity by ATG7. Together, these results uncover an autophagy-independent mechanism by which ATG7 suppresses host innate immunity and establish a critical role for ATG7/GAPLINC/IRF3 axis in regulating IAV infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), belonging to the genus Enterovirus of the Picornavirus family, is an emerging pathogen that can cause neurological and respiratory diseases in children. However, there is little understanding of the pathogenesis of EV-D68, and no effective vaccine or drug for the prevention or treatment of the diseases caused by this virus is available. Autophagy is a cellular process that targets cytoplasmic proteins or organelles to the lysosomes for degradation. Enteroviruses strategically harness the host autophagy pathway to facilitate the completion of their life cycle. Therefore, we selected an autophagy compound library to screen for autophagy-related compounds that may affect viral growth. By using the neutralization screening assay, we identified a compound, 'licochalcone A' that significantly inhibited EV-D68 replication. To investigate the mechanism by which licochalcone A inhibits EV-D68 replication and to identify the viral life cycle stage it inhibits, the time-of-addition, viral attachment, viral entry, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed. The results of the time-of-addition assay showed that licochalcone A, a characteristic chalcone found in liquorice roots and widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, inhibits EV-D68 replication during the early stages of the viral life cycle, while those of the dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that licochalcone A does not regulate viral attachment and entry, but inhibits EV-D68 IRES-dependent translation. Licochalcone A also inhibited enterovirus A71 and coxsackievirus B3 but did not significantly inhibit dengue virus 2 or human coronavirus 229E replication. Licochalcone A regulates IRES translation to inhibit EV-D68 viral replication.

Abstract
In humans, acute and chronic respiratory infections caused by viruses are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Respiratory viruses infect airway epithelial cells and induce oxidative stress, yet the exact pathogenesis remains unclear. Oxidative stress activates the transcription factor NRF2, which plays a key role in alleviating redox-induced cellular injury. The transcriptional activation of NRF2 has been reported to affect both viral replication and associated inflammation pathways. There is complex bidirectional crosstalk between virus replication and the NRF2 pathway because virus replication directly or indirectly regulates NRF2 expression, and NRF2 activation can reversely hamper viral replication and viral spread across cells and tissues. In this review, we discuss the complex role of the NRF2 pathway in the regulation of the pathogenesis of the main respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses, influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and rhinoviruses. We also summarize the scientific evidence regarding the effects of the known NRF2 agonists that can be utilized to alter the NRF2 pathway.

Abstract
Since the US Food and Drug Administration first approved talimogene laherparepvec for the treatment of melanoma in 2015, the field of oncolytic immunotherapy (OI) has rapidly evolved. There are numerous ongoing clinical studies assessing the clinical activity of OIs across a wide range of tumor types. Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor immune response has led to the development of OIs with improved immune-mediated preclinical efficacy. In this review, we discuss the key approaches for developing the next generation of herpes simplex virus-based OIs. Modifications to the viral genome and incorporation of transgenes to promote safety, tumor-selective replication, and immune stimulation are reviewed. We also review the advantages and disadvantages of intratumoral versus intravenous administration, summarize clinical evidence supporting the use of OIs as a strategy to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint blockade, and consider emerging opportunities to improve OI efficacy in the combination setting.

Abstract
Seneca Valley Virus (SVV), a member of the Picornaviridae family, is an emerging porcine virus that can cause vesicular disease in pigs. However, the immune evasion mechanism of SVV remains unclear, as does its interaction with other pathways. STING (Stimulator of interferon genes) is typically recognized as a critical factor in innate immune responses to DNA virus infection, but its role during SVV infection remains poorly understood. In the present study, we observed that STING was degraded in SVV-infected PK-15 cells, and SVV replication in the cells was affected when STING was knockdown or overexpressed. The STING degradation observed was blocked when the SVV-induced autophagy was inhibited by using autophagy inhibitors (Chloroquine, Bafilomycin A1) or knockdown of autophagy related gene 5 (ATG5), suggesting that SVV-induced autophagy is responsible for STING degradation. Furthermore, the STING degradation was inhibited when reticulophagy regulator 1 (FAM134B), a reticulophagy related receptor, was knocked down, indicating that SVV infection induces STING degradation via reticulophagy. Further study showed that in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3 (PERK)/activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) deficient cells, SVV infection failed to induce reticulophagy-medaited STING degradation, indicating that SVV infection caused STING degradation via PERK/ATF6-mediated reticulophagy. Notably, blocking reticulophagy effectively hindered SVV replication. Overall, our study suggested that SVV infection resulted in STING degradation via PERK and ATF6-mediated reticulophagy, which may be an immune escape strategy of SVV. This finding improves the understanding of the intricate interplay between viruses and their hosts and provides a novel strategy for the development of novel antiviral drugs.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The respiratory picornavirus enterovirus D68 is a causative agent of acute flaccid myelitis, a childhood paralysis disease identified in the last decade. Poliovirus, another picornavirus associated with paralytic disease, is a fecal-oral virus that survives acidic environments when passing from host to host. Here, we follow up on our previous work showing a requirement for acidic intracellular compartments for maturation cleavage of poliovirus particles. Enterovirus D68 requires acidic vesicles for an earlier step, assembly, and maintenance of viral particles themselves. These data have strong implications for the use of acidification blocking treatments to combat enterovirus diseases.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles (MVs), are released by most cell types into the extracellular space and represent the pathophysiological condition of their source cells. Recent studies demonstrate that EVs derived from infected cells and tumors contribute to disease pathogenesis. However, very few studies have rigorously characterized exosomes and microvesicles in infectious diseases. In this study, we focused on subpopulations of EVs during the human enterovirus infection and explored the distinct traits and functions of EVs. We construct an effective immunomagnetic method to isolate exosomes and MVs from enterovirus-infected cells excluding virion. The morphology and sizes of exosomes and MVs have no significant alteration after enterovirus infection. Meanwhile, our study observed that the enterovirus infection could induce exosome secretion but not MVs. In vivo study showed that there was differential biodistribution between exosomes and MVs. Using deep RNA sequencing, we found that the cargo information in MVs rather than in exosomes could accurately reflect pathological condition of original cells. Our study demonstrated that it should be considered to use MVs as clinical diagnostics during in enterovirus infection because their composition is reflective of pathological changes.

Abstract
FAM46C is a multiple myeloma (MM) tumor suppressor whose function is only starting to be elucidated. We recently showed that in MM cells FAM46C triggers apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy and altering intracellular trafficking and protein secretion. To date, both a physiological characterization of FAM46C role and an assessment of FAM46C-induced phenotypes outside of MM are lacking. Preliminary reports suggested an involvement of FAM46C with regulation of viral replication, but this was never confirmed. Here, we show that FAM46C is an interferon-stimulated gene and that the expression of wild-type FAM46C in HEK-293T cells, but not of its most frequently found mutant variants, inhibits the production of both HIV-1-derived and HIV-1 lentiviruses. We demonstrate that this effect does not require transcriptional regulation and does not depend on inhibition of either global or virus-specific translation but rather mostly relies on FAM46C-induced deregulation of autophagy, a pathway that we show to be required for efficient lentiviral particle production. These studies not only provide new insights on the physiological role of the FAM46C protein but also could help in implementing more efficient antiviral strategies on one side and lentiviral particle production approaches on the other. IMPORTANCE FAM46C role has been thoroughly investigated in MM, but studies characterizing its role outside of the tumoral environment are still lacking. Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy in suppressing HIV load to undetectable levels, there is currently no HIV cure, and treatment is lifelong. Indeed, HIV continues to be a major global public health issue. Here, we show that FAM46C expression in HEK-293T cells inhibits the production of both HIV and HIV-derived lentiviruses. We also demonstrate that such inhibitory effect relies, at least in part, on the well-established regulatory role that FAM46C exerts on autophagy. Deciphering the molecular mechanism underlying this regulation will not only facilitate the understanding of FAM46C physiological role but also give new insights on the interplay between HIV and the cellular environment.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a cellular degradation and recycling process that maintains the homeostasis of organisms. The protein degradation role of autophagy has been widely used to control viral infection at multiple levels. In the ongoing evolutionary arms race, viruses have developed various ways to hijack and subvert autophagy in favor of its replication. It is still unclear exactly how autophagy affects or inhibits viruses. In this study, we have found a novel host restriction factor, HNRNPA1, that could inhibit PEDV replication by degrading viral nucleocapsid (N) protein. The restriction factor activates the HNRNPA1-MARCHF8/MARCH8-CALCOCO2/NDP52-autophagosome pathway with the help of transcription factor EGR1 targeting the HNRNPA1 promoter. HNRNPA1 could also promote the expression of IFN to facilitate the host antiviral defense response for antagonizing PEDV infection through RIGI protein interaction. During viral replication, we found that PEDV can, in contrast, degrade the host antiviral proteins HNRNPA1 and others (FUBP3, HNRNPK, PTBP1, and TARDBP) through its N protein through the autophagy pathway. These results reveal the dual function of selective autophagy in PEDV N and host proteins, which could promote the ubiquitination of viral particles and host antiviral proteins and degradation both of the proteins to regulate the relationship between virus infection and host innate immunity.Abbreviations: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; ATG: autophagy related; Baf A1: bafilomycin A1; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; ChIP: chromatin immunoprecipitation; Co-IP: co-immunoprecipitation; CQ: chloroquine; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; GPI: glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol; hpi: hours post infection; MARCHF8/MARCH8: membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger 8; MOI: multiplicity of infection; N protein: nucleocapsid protein; PEDV: porcine epidemic diarrhea virus; siRNA: small interfering RNA; TCID50: 50% tissue culture infectious doses.

Abstract
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), a picornavirus traditionally associated with respiratory infections, has recently been linked to a polio-like paralytic condition known as acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). EV-D68 is understudied, and much of the field's understanding of this virus is based on studies of poliovirus. For poliovirus, we previously showed that low pH promotes virus capsid maturation, but here we show that, for EV-D68, inhibition of compartment acidification during a specific window of infection causes a defect in capsid formation and maintenance. These phenotypes are accompanied by radical changes in the infected cell, with viral replication organelles clustering in a tight juxtanuclear grouping. Organelle acidification is critical during a narrow window from 3-4hpi, which we have termed the "transition point," separating translation and peak RNA replication from capsid formation, maturation and egress. Our findings highlight that acidification is crucial only when vesicles convert from RNA factories to virion crucibles.

Abstract
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a newly identified phlebovirus associated with severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Studies have shown that SFTSV nucleoprotein (N) induces BECN1-dependent autophagy to promote viral assembly and release. However, the function of other SFTSV proteins in regulating autophagy has not been reported. In this study, we identify SFTSV NSs, a nonstructural protein that forms viroplasm-like structures in the cytoplasm of infected cells as the virus component mediating SFTSV-induced autophagy. We found that SFTSV NSs-induced autophagy was inclusion body independent, and most phenuivirus NSs had autophagy-inducing effects. Unlike N protein-induced autophagy, SFTSV NSs was key in regulating autophagy by interacting with the host's vimentin in an inclusion body-independent manner. NSs interacted with vimentin and induced vimentin degradation through the K48-linked ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This negatively regulating Beclin1-vimentin complex formed and promoted autophagy. Furthermore, we identified the NSs-binding domain of vimentin and found that overexpression of wild-type vimentin antagonized the induced effect of NSs on autophagy and inhibited viral replication, suggesting that vimentin is a potential antiviral target. The present study shows a novel mechanism through which SFTSV nonstructural protein activates autophagy, which provides new insights into the role of NSs in SFTSV infection and pathogenesis. IMPORTANCE Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a newly emerging tick-borne pathogen that causes multifunctional organ failure and even death in humans. As a housekeeping mechanism for cells to maintain steady state, autophagy plays a dual role in viral infection and the host's immune response. However, the relationship between SFTSV infection and autophagy has not been described in detail yet. Here, we demonstrated that SFTSV infection induced complete autophagic flux and facilitated viral proliferation. We also identified a key mechanism underlying NSs-induced autophagy, in which NSs interacted with vimentin to inhibit the formation of the Beclin1-vimentin complex and induced vimentin degradation through K48-linked ubiquitination modification. These findings may help us understand the new functions and mechanisms of NSs and may aid in the identification of new antiviral targets.

Abstract
Autophagy plays a homeostatic role in regulating cellular metabolism by degrading unwanted intracellular materials and acts as a host defense mechanism by eliminating infecting pathogens, such as viruses. Upon viral infection, host cells often activate retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) signaling to induce the transcription of type I interferons, thus establishing the first line of the innate antiviral response. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that virus-mediated autophagy activation may benefit viral replication through different actions on host cellular processes, including the modulation of RLR-mediated innate immunity. Here, an overview of the functional molecules and regulatory mechanism of the RLR antiviral immune response as well as autophagy is presented. Moreover, a summary of the current knowledge on the biological role of autophagy in regulating RLR antiviral signaling is provided. The molecular mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between autophagy and RLR innate immunity are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Canine distemper virus (CDV) is one of the most contagious and lethal viruses known to the Canidae, with a very broad and expanding host range. Autophagy serves as a fundamental stabilizing response against pathogens, but some viruses have been able to evade or exploit it for their replication. However, the effect of autophagy mechanisms on CDV infection is still unclear. RESULTS In the present study, autophagy was induced in CDV-infected Vero cells as demonstrated by elevated LC3-II levels and aggregation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-LC3 spots. Furthermore, CDV promoted the complete autophagic process, which could be determined by the degradation of p62, co-localization of LC3 with lysosomes, GFP degradation, and accumulation of LC3-II and p62 due to the lysosomal protease inhibitor E64d. In addition, the use of Rapamycin to promote autophagy promoted CDV replication, and the inhibition of autophagy by Wortmannin, Chloroquine and siRNA-ATG5 inhibited CDV replication, revealing that CDV-induced autophagy facilitated virus replication. We also found that UV-inactivated CDV still induced autophagy, and that nucleocapsid (N) protein was able to induce complete autophagy in an mTOR-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS This study for the first time revealed that CDV N protein induced complete autophagy to facilitate viral replication.

Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic cellular process that exerts antiviral functions during a viral invasion. However, co-evolution and co-adaptation between viruses and autophagy have armed viruses with multiple strategies to subvert the autophagic machinery and counteract cellular antiviral responses. Specifically, the host cell quickly initiates the autophagy to degrade virus particles or virus components upon a viral infection, while cooperating with anti-viral interferon response to inhibit the virus replication. Degraded virus-derived antigens can be presented to T lymphocytes to orchestrate the adaptive immune response. Nevertheless, some viruses have evolved the ability to inhibit autophagy in order to evade degradation and immune responses. Others induce autophagy, but then hijack autophagosomes as a replication site, or hijack the secretion autophagy pathway to promote maturation and egress of virus particles, thereby increasing replication and transmission efficiency. Interestingly, different viruses have unique strategies to counteract different types of selective autophagy, such as exploiting autophagy to regulate organelle degradation, metabolic processes, and immune responses. In short, this review focuses on the interaction between autophagy and viruses, explaining how autophagy serves multiple roles in viral infection, with either proviral or antiviral functions.

Abstract
Specific virus-receptor interactions are important determinants in viral host range, tropism and pathogenesis, influencing the location and initiation of primary infection as well as viral spread to other target organs/tissues in the postviremic phase. Coxsackieviruses of Group B (CVB) and its six serotypes (CVB1-6) specifically interact with two receptor proteins, coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) and decay-accelerating factor (DAF), and cause various lesions in most permissive tissues. However, our previous data and other studies revealed that virus receptor-negative cells or tissues can be infected with CVB type 3 (CVB3), which can also effectively replicate. To study this interesting finding, we explored the possibility that exosomes are involved in CVB3 tropism and that exosomes functionally enhance CVB3 transmission. We found that exosomes carried and delivered CVB3 virions, resulting in efficient infection in receptor-negative host cells. We also found that delivery of CVB3 virions attached to exosomes depended on the virus receptor CAR. Importantly, exosomes carrying CVB3 virions exhibited greater infection efficiency than free virions because they accessed various entry routes, overcoming restrictions to viral tropism. In vivo experiments demonstrated that inhibition of exosome coupling with virions attenuated CVB3-induced immunological system dysfunction and reduced mortality. Our study describes a new mechanism in which exosomes contribute to viral tropism, spread, and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Among enteroviruses, echovirus can cause severe illnesses in neonates or infants, with high morbidity and mortality. Autophagy, a central component of host defense mechanisms, can function against diverse infections. In the present study, we investigated the interplay between echovirus and autophagy. We demonstrated that echovirus infection increases LC3-II expression dose-dependently, accompanied by an increased intracellular LC3 puncta level. In addition, echovirus infection induces the formation of autophagosome. These results suggest that echovirus infection induces autophagy machinery. Furthermore, phosphorylated mTOR and ULK1 were both decreased upon echovirus infection. In contrast, both levels of the vacuolar protein sorting 34 (VPS34) and Beclin-1, the downstream molecules which play essential roles in promoting the formation of autophagic vesicles, increased upon virus infection. These results imply that the signaling pathways involved in autophagosome formation were activated by echovirus infection. Moreover, induction of autophagy promotes echovirus replication and viral protein VP1 expression, while inhibition of autophagy impairs VP1 expression. Our findings suggest that autophagy can be induced by echovirus infection via regulating mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway and exhibits a proviral function, revealing the potential role of autophagy in echovirus infection.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small and noncoding RNA molecules (18-25 nt) that can regulate expression of their target genes post-transcriptionally. Previously, using high-throughput sequencing data obtained on a Solexa platform, we found that Bos taurus bta-miR-2904 (miR-2904) was significantly upregulated in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain NADL at 2, 6, and 18 h postinfection (hpi) compared to uninfected MDBK cells. Moreover, miR-2904 overexpression significantly reduced BVDV replication. However, the mechanism by which miR-2904 inhibits viral replication remains unclear. In this study, we used electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, dual-luciferase reporter analysis, real-time PCR, and Western blot assays to investigate the effect of the miR-2904 expression on BVDV NADL replication and virus-infection-induced autophagy. The results indicate that miR-2904 inhibits autophagy of MDBK cells by targeting autophagy-related gene 13 (ATG13), and overexpression of miR-2904 inhibited the replication of BVDV NADL.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a leading cause of viral myocarditis, but no effective treatment strategy against CVB3 is available. Viruses lack an inherent metabolic system and thus depend on host cellular metabolism for their benefit. In this study, we observed that CVB3 enhanced glycolysis in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes and HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes. Therefore, three key glycolytic enzymes, namely, hexokinase 2 (HK2), muscle phosphofructokinase (PFKM), and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), were measured in CVB3-infected H9c2 and HL-1 cells. Expression levels of HK2 and PFKM, but not PKM2, were increased in CVB3-infected H9c2 cells. All three key glycolytic enzymes showed elevated expression in CVB3-infected HL-1 cells. To further investigate this, we used 2 deoxyglucose, sodium citrate, and shikonin as glycolysis inhibitors for HK2, PFKM, and PKM2, respectively. Glycolysis inhibitors significantly reduced CVB3 replication, while the glycolysis enhancer dramatically promoted it. In addition, glycolysis inhibitors decreased autophagy and accelerated autophagosome degradation. The autophagy inducer eliminated partial inhibition effects of glycolysis inhibitors on CVB3 replication. These results demonstrate that CVB3 infection enhances glycolysis and thus benefits viral replication.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Enterovirus genus. CVB3 is a human pathogen associated with serious conditions such as myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and pancreatitis. However, there are no therapeutic interventions to treat CVB3 infections. In this study, we found that CVB3 induced metabolic alteration in host cells through increasing glycolysis level, as indicated by an increase in the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). CVB3-mediated metabolic alteration was confirmed by metabolite change analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on findings, a strategy to inhibit glycolysis has been proposed to treat CVB3 infection. Indeed, glycolysis inhibitors (2-Deoxy-D-glucose, sodium oxide) significantly reduced CVB3 titers after CVB3 infection, indicating that glycolysis inhibitors can be used as effective antiviral agents. Taken together, our results reveal a novel mechanism by which CVB3 infection is controlled by regulation of host cell metabolism.

Abstract
The delivery of pathogens to lysosomes for degradation provides an important defense against infection. Degradation is enhanced when LC3 is conjugated to endosomes and phagosomes containing pathogens to facilitate fusion with lysosomes. In phagocytic cells, TLR signaling and Rubicon activate LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) where stabilization of the NADPH oxidase leads to sustained ROS production and raised vacuolar pH. Raised pH triggers the assembly of the vacuolar ATPase on the vacuole membrane where it binds ATG16L1 to recruit the core LC3 conjugation complex (ATG16L1:ATG5-12). This V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis is also activated in nonphagocytic cells to conjugate LC3 to endosomes containing extracellular microbes. Pathogens provide additional signals for recruitment of LC3 when they raise vacuolar pH with pore-forming toxins and proteins, phospholipases, or specialized secretion systems. Many microbes secrete virulence factors to inhibit ROS production and/or the V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis to slow LC3 recruitment and avoid degradation in lysosomes.

Abstract
Infectious outbreaks are the foremost global public health concern, challenging the current healthcare system, which claims millions of lives annually. The most crucial way to control an infectious outbreak is by early detection through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. POC diagnostics are highly advantageous owing to the prompt diagnosis, which is economical, simple and highly efficient with remote access capabilities. In particular, utilization of nanomaterials to architect POC devices has enabled highly integrated and portable (compact) devices with enhanced efficiency. As such, this review will detail the factors influencing the emergence of infectious diseases and methods for fast and accurate detection, thus elucidating the underlying factors of these infections. Furthermore, it comprehensively highlights the importance of different nanomaterials in POCs to detect nucleic acid, whole pathogens, proteins and antibody detection systems. Finally, we summarize findings reported on nanomaterials based on advanced POCs such as lab-on-chip, lab-on-disc-devices, point-of-action and hospital-on-chip. To this end, we discuss the challenges, potential solutions, prospects of integrating internet-of-things, artificial intelligence, 5G communications and data clouding to achieve intelligent POCs.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) orchestrates host factors to remodel
endomembrane compartments for various steps of the infection cycle.
SARS-CoV-2 also intimately intersects with the catabolic autophagy
pathway during infection. In response to virus infection, autophagy acts
as an innate defensive system by delivering viral components/particles to
lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy also elicits antiviral immune
responses. SARS-CoV-2, like other positive-stranded RNA viruses, has
evolved various mechanisms to escape autophagic destruction and to hijack
the autophagic machinery for its own benefit. In this review, we will
focus on how the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins and
autophagy promotes viral replication and transmission. We will also
discuss the pathogenic effects of SARS-CoV-2-elicited autophagy
dysregulation and pharmacological interventions targeting autophagy for
COVID-19 treatment.

Abstract
Enteroviruses (EVs) are medically important RNA viruses that cause a broad spectrum of human illnesses for which limited therapy exists. Although EVs have been shown to usurp the cellular recycling process of autophagy for pro-viral functions, the precise manner by which this is accomplished remains to be elucidated. In the current manuscript, we sought to address the mechanism by which EVs subvert the autophagy pathway using Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) as a model. We showed that CVB3 infection selectively degrades the autophagy cysteine protease ATG4A but not other isoforms. Exogenous expression of an N-terminally Flag-labeled ATG4A demonstrated the emergence of a 43-kDa cleavage fragment following CVB3 infection. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis coupled with site-directed mutagenesis and in vitro cleavage assays revealed that CVB3 protease 2A cleaves ATG4A before glycine 374. Using a combination of genetic silencing and overexpression studies, we demonstrated a novel pro-viral function for the autophagy protease ATG4A. Additionally, cleavage of ATG4A was associated with a loss of autophagy function of the truncated cleavage fragment. Collectively, our study identified ATG4A as a novel substrate of CVB3 protease, leading to disrupted host cellular function and sheds further light on viral mechanisms of autophagy dysregulation.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease is highly prevalent and has a complex etiology and variable pathophysiological activities. It thus poses a serious threat to human life and health. Currently, pathophysiological research on cerebrovascular diseases is gradually improving, and oxidative stress and autophagy have been identified as important pathophysiological activities that are gradually attracting increasing attention. Many studies have found some effects of oxidative stress and autophagy on cerebrovascular diseases, and studies on the crosstalk between the two in cerebrovascular diseases have made modest progress. However, further, more detailed studies are needed to determine the specific mechanisms. This review discusses nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) molecules, which are closely associated with oxidative stress and autophagy, and the crosstalk between them, with the aim of providing clues for studying the two important pathophysiological changes and their crosstalk in cerebrovascular diseases as well as exploring new target treatments.

Abstract
Host-pathogen dynamics are constantly at play during enteroviral infection. Coxsackievirus B (CVB) is a common juvenile enterovirus that infects multiple organs and drives inflammatory diseases including acute pancreatitis and myocarditis. Much like other enteroviruses, CVB is capable of manipulating host machinery to hijack and subvert autophagy for its benefit. We have previously reported that CVB triggers the release of infectious extracellular vesicles (EVs) which originate from autophagosomes. These EVs facilitate efficient dissemination of infectious virus. Here, we report that TBK1 (Tank-binding kinase 1) suppresses release of CVB-induced EVs. TBK1 is a multimeric kinase that directly activates autophagy adaptors for efficient cargo recruitment and induces type-1 interferons during viral-mediated STING recruitment. Positioning itself at the nexus of pathogen elimination, we hypothesized that loss of TBK1 could exacerbate CVB infection due to its specific role in autophagosome trafficking. Here we report that infection with CVB during genetic TBK1 knockdown significantly increases viral load and potentiates the bulk release of viral EVs. Similarly, suppressing TBK1 with small interfering RNA (siRNA) caused a marked increase in intracellular virus and EV release, while treatment in vivo with the TBK1-inhibitor Amlexanox exacerbated viral pancreatitis and EV spread. We further demonstrated that viral EV release is mediated by the autophagy modifier proteins GABARAPL1 and GABARAPL2 which facilitate autophagic flux. We observe that CVB infection stimulates autophagy and increases the release of GABARAPL1/2-positive EVs. We conclude that TBK1 plays additional antiviral roles by inducing autophagic flux during CVB infection independent of interferon signaling, and the loss of TBK1 better allows CVB-laden autophagosomes to circumvent lysosomal degradation, increasing the release of virus-laden EVs. This discovery sheds new light on the mechanisms involved in viral spread and EV propagation during acute enteroviral infection and highlights novel intracellular trafficking protein targets for antiviral therapy. Coxsackievirus B (CVB) is a significant human enterovirus that can cause myocarditis, meningitis, and pancreatitis. The subversion of host immunity and mechanisms of viral dissemination are critical factors which promote pathogenesis. We had previously reported that following infection, CVB becomes engulfed by autophagosomes which evade lysosomal degradation and instead get released as infectious extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this current study, we report that in addition to its traditional role in interferon-mediated antiviral signaling, TANK-binding kinase (TBK1) is crucial in limiting viral production and EV-based viral egress through the autophagy pathway. Indeed, in the absence of TBK1, we observe (i) a disruption in autophagic flux, (ii) significant increases in intracellular viral burden and viral EV release, and (iii) elevated viral load in both in vitro and in vivo models of infection. EVs isolated from TBK1-deficient cells or mice treated with the TBK1-inhibitor Amlexanox were more infectious compared to controls. In all, the dual role TBK1 plays in suppressing viral escape in addition to mediating antiviral immunity makes it a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of CVB infection.

Abstract
Viral myocarditis is an acute inflammatory disease of the myocardium. Although many etiopathogenic factors exist, coxsackievirus B3 is a the leading cause of viral myocarditis. Abnormal cardiomyocyte death is the underlying problem for most cardiovascular diseases and fatalities. Various types of cell death occur and are regulated to varying degrees. In this review, we discuss the different cell death mechanisms in viral myocarditis and the potential interactions between them. We also explore the role and mechanism of cardiomyocyte death with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Exploring the mechanisms may help in the early identification and the development of effective treatments, thus improving the quality of life of patients with viral myocarditis. We believe that the inhibition of cardiomyocyte death has immense therapeutic potential in increasing the longevity and health of the heart.

[PMID: 35774410 PMCID: PMC9237225 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.856711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) could cause lethal diarrhea and dehydration in suckling piglets, which can adversely affect the development of the global swine industry. The lack of effective therapeutical and prophylactic treatment especially for PEDV variant strains underlines the importance of effective antiviral strategies, such as identification of novel antiviral agents. In the present study, the antiviral activity of cinchonine against PEDV was investigated in Vero CCL81 and LLC-PK1 cells at a non-cytotoxic concentration determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay in vitro. We found that cinchonine exhibited a significant suppression effect against PEDV infection and its inhibitory action was primarily focused on the early stage of PEDV replication. Moreover, we also observed that cinchonine could significantly induce autophagy by detecting the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II by using western blot analysis. Cinchonine treatment could inhibit PEDV replication in a dose-dependent manner in Vero CCL81 cells, while this phenomenon disappeared when autophagy was attenuated by pre-treatment with autophagy inhibitor 3MA. Consequently, this study indicated that cinchonine can inhibit PEDV replication via inducing cellular autophagy and thus from the basis for successful antiviral strategies which potentially suggest the possibility of exploiting cinchonine as a novel antiviral agent.

Abstract
Viral myocarditis is caused by infection with viruses or bacteria, including coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), and is characterized by acute or chronic inflammatory responses in the heart. The mortality associated with severe viral myocarditis is considerable. In some patients, viral myocarditis may develop into dilated cardiomyopathy or heart failure. Autophagy is involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including viral infection and replication. In the present review, we focus on the responses of cardiac tissues, cardiomyocytes, and cardiac fibroblasts to CVB3 infection. Subsequently, the effects of altered autophagy on the development of viral myocarditis are discussed. Finally, this review also examined and assessed the use of several popular autophagy modulating drugs, such as metformin, resveratrol, rapamycin, wortmannin, and 3-methyladenine, as alternative treatment strategies for viral myocarditis.

Antiviral Effects of ABMA and DABMA against Influenza Virus In Vitro and In Vivo via Regulating the Endolysosomal Pathway and Autophagy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073940.

Abstract
Influenza virus is an acute and highly contagious respiratory pathogen that causes great concern to public health and for which there is a need for extensive drug discovery. The small chemical compound ABMA and its analog DABMA, containing an adamantane or a dimethyl-adamantane group, respectively, have been demonstrated to inhibit multiple toxins (diphtheria toxin, Clostridium difficile toxin B, Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin) and viruses (Ebola, rabies virus, HSV-2) by acting on the host’s vesicle trafficking. Here, we showed that ABMA and DABMA have antiviral effects against both amantadine-sensitive influenza virus subtypes (H1N1 and H3N2), amantadine-resistant subtypes (H3N2), and influenza B virus with EC50 values ranging from 2.83 to 7.36 µM (ABMA) and 1.82 to 6.73 µM (DABMA), respectively. ABMA and DABMA inhibited the replication of influenza virus genomic RNA and protein synthesis by interfering with the entry stage of the virus. Molecular docking evaluation together with activity against amantadine-resistant influenza virus strains suggested that ABMA and DABMA were not acting as M2 ion channel blockers. Subsequently, we found that early internalized H1N1 virions were retained in accumulated late endosome compartments after ABMA treatment. Additionally, ABMA disrupted the early stages of the H1N1 life cycle or viral RNA synthesis by interfering with autophagy. ABMA and DABMA protected mice from an intranasal H1N1 challenge with an improved survival rate of 67%. The present study suggests that ABMA and DABMA are potential antiviral leads for the development of a host-directed treatment against influenza virus infection.

Abstract
Targeting intracellular components for lysosomal degradation by autophagy not only maintains cellular homeostasis but also counteracts the effects of external stimuli, including invading pathogens. Among various kinds of pathogens, viruses have been extensively shown to induce autophagy to benefit viral growth in infected cells and to modulate host defense responses, such as innate antiviral immunity. Recently, numerous lines of evidence have implied that virus-induced autophagy triggers multilayer mechanisms to regulate the innate antiviral response of host cells, thus promoting a balance in virus-host cell interactions. In this review, the detailed mechanisms underlying autophagy and the innate antiviral immune response are first described. Then, I summarize the current information regarding the diverse functional role(s) of autophagy in the control of antiviral defenses against different types of viral infections. Moreover, the physiological significance of autophagy-regulated antiviral responses on the viral life cycle and the potential autophagy alterations induced by virus-associated antiviral signaling is further discussed.

Qiao J, Liu Q. Interplay between autophagy and Sindbis virus in cells derived from key arbovirus vectors, Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Cell Signal 2021; 90:110204. [PMID: 34826589 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2021.110204] [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: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are two species of Aedes mosquitoes which transmit multiple arboviruses causing serious diseases in human. Intriguingly, infection of arbovirus in both Aedes mosquitoes does not cause dramatic pathology, indicating that both mosquitoes have evolved mechanisms to tolerate persistent infection and restrict viral replication to nonpathogenic levels. Therefore, understanding how these mosquitoes interact with viruses would help to find targets for controlling the related mosquito-borne diseases. Autophagy is a conserved cellular recycling process functioning in maintenance of cellular homeostasis and recirculation of cytoplasmic materials under stressful conditions. Autophagy also acts as a cellular defense mechanism against viral infection. It is known that autophagy plays important roles in the replication of several Aedes mosquito-borne viruses in mammalian systems. However, little information is available regarding the role of autophagy in replication of those viruses in their primary vector, Aedes mosquitoes. This study found that interaction between autophagy and replication of Sindbis virus (SINV) occurred in Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells and Ae. aegypti Aag2 cells. Moreover, it discovered that the patterns of interaction between autophagy and SINV replication are different in C6/36 cells and Aag2 cells. It was shown that replication of SINV induced complete autophagy in C6/36 cells but suppressed autophagy in Aag2 cells. Moreover, induction of autophagy by rapamycin treatment restricted SINV replication in C6/36 cells but promoted SINV replication in Aag2 cells. Consistent with this, suppression of autophagy by down regulation of Atg8 promoted SINV replication in C6/36 cells but restricted SINV replication in Aag2 cells. It was also found that, in both C6/36 and Aag2 cells, interaction between autophagy and SINV replication occurred after viral entry and prior to viral assembly. Collectively, this work demonstrated that SINV replication manipulated autophagy in Aedes mosquito cells and provided strong evidence of the role autophagy played in viral replication in Aedes mosquitoes. The findings have laid a foundation to elucidate the correlation between autophagy and arbovirus replication in Aedes mosquitoes and could help to understand the difference in viral transmission capacity of the two Aedes mosquitoes, Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti.

Abstract
As an evolutionarily conserved cellular process, autophagy plays an essential role in the cellular metabolism of eukaryotes as well as in viral infection and pathogenesis. Under physiological conditions, autophagy is able to meet cellular energy needs and maintain cellular homeostasis through degrading long-lived cellular proteins and recycling damaged organelles. Upon viral infection, host autophagy could degrade invading viruses and initial innate immune response and facilitate viral antigen presentation, all of which contribute to preventing viral infection and pathogenesis. However, viruses have evolved a variety of strategies during a long evolutionary process, by which they can hijack and subvert host autophagy for their own benefits. In this review, we highlight the function of host autophagy in the key regulatory steps during viral infections and pathogenesis and discuss how the viruses hijack the host autophagy for their life cycle and pathogenesis. Further understanding the function of host autophagy in viral infection and pathogenesis contributes to the development of more specific therapeutic strategies to fight various infectious diseases, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic.

Abstract
The perception that intracellular lipolysis is a straightforward process that releases fatty acids from fat stores in adipose tissue to generate energy has experienced major revisions over the last two decades. The discovery of new lipolytic enzymes and coregulators, the demonstration that lipophagy and lysosomal lipolysis contribute to the degradation of cellular lipid stores and the characterization of numerous factors and signalling pathways that regulate lipid hydrolysis on transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels have revolutionized our understanding of lipolysis. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms that facilitate intracellular fatty-acid mobilization, drawing on canonical and noncanonical enzymatic pathways. We summarize how intracellular lipolysis affects lipid-mediated signalling, metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis in multiple organs. Finally, we examine how these processes affect pathogenesis and how lipolysis may be targeted to potentially prevent or treat various diseases.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. PD is pathologically characterized by the death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and the accumulation of intracellular protein inclusions called Lewy bodies or Lewy neurites. The major component of Lewy bodies is α-synuclein (α-syn). Prion-like propagation of α-syn has emerged as a novel mechanism in the progression of PD. This mechanism has been investigated to reveal factors that initiate Lewy pathology with the aim of preventing further progression of PD. Here, we demonstrate that coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection can induce α-syn-associated inclusion body formation in neurons which might act as a trigger for PD. The inclusion bodies contained clustered organelles, including damaged mitochondria with α-syn fibrils. α-Syn overexpression accelerated inclusion body formation and induced more concentric inclusion bodies. In CVB3-infected mice brains, α-syn aggregates were observed in the cell body of midbrain neurons. Additionally, α-syn overexpression favored CVB3 replication and related cytotoxicity. α-Syn transgenic mice had a low survival rate, enhanced CVB3 replication, and exhibited neuronal cell death, including that of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. These results may be attributed to distinct autophagy-related pathways engaged by CVB3 and α-syn. This study elucidated the mechanism of Lewy body formation and the pathogenesis of PD associated with CVB3 infection. Prion-like propagation of α-syn has emerged as a novel mechanism involved in the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This process has been extensively investigated to identify the factors that initiate Lewy pathology to prevent further progression of PD. Nevertheless, initial triggers of Lewy body (LB) formation leading to the acceleration of the process still remain elusive. Infection is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for PD. In particular, several viruses have been reported to be associated with both acute and chronic parkinsonism. It has been proposed that peripheral infections including viral infections accompanying inflammation may trigger PD. In the present study, we explored whether coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) interacts with α-syn to induce aggregation and further Lewy body formation, thereby acting as a trigger and whether α-syn affects the replication of coxsackievirus. It is important to identify the factors that initiate Lewy pathology to understand the pathogenesis of PD. Our findings clarify the mechanism of LB formation and the pathogenesis of PD associated with CVB3 infection.

Abstract
AbstractNeonatal encephalitis by either enteroviruses (EVs) or parechoviruses (PeVs) is often complicated by hemispheric periventricular white matter lesions. Although showing many similarities, the two types of encephalitis differ in some clinical and laboratory aspects, mostly because PeV encephalitis does not show any change of protein and white cell content in the cerebrospinal fluid, and clinically, the onset of PeV encephalitis is often marked by early seizures accompanying a fever of sepsis-like disease. Instead, no difference exists relative to the white matter lesions, which are constantly described as periventricular, even in rare detailed neuropathological studies. Herein, taking a cue from a neonate with EV encephalitis who showed occipital white matter lesions involving the overlying cortex, but completely sparing the periventricular area, we demonstrate that the brain lesions in EV encephalitis in newborns can be more extended than known. To our knowledge, the not-periventricular involvement of the white matter with EV encephalitis has never been described so far, as well as the potential of EV to injure the cortex. We confirm the pathogenetic role of a vascular mechanism for the tissue injury, but other proposed mechanisms are also discussed. It is noteworthy that the neurological outcome of this newborn remained favorable, and no epileptic seizures occurred in the first few days nor afterward.

Abstract
Evidence is emerging that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can infect various organs of the body, including cardiomyocytes and cardiac endothelial cells in the heart. This review focuses on the effects of SARS-CoV-2 in the heart after direct infection that can lead to myocarditis and an outline of potential treatment options. The main points are: (1) Viral entry: SARS-CoV-2 uses specific receptors and proteases for docking and priming in cardiac cells. Thus, different receptors or protease inhibitors might be effective in SARS-CoV-2-infected cardiac cells. (2) Viral replication: SARS-CoV-2 uses RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for replication. Drugs acting against ssRNA(+) viral replication for cardiac cells can be effective. (3) Autophagy and double-membrane vesicles: SARS-CoV-2 manipulates autophagy to inhibit viral clearance and promote SARS-CoV-2 replication by creating double-membrane vesicles as replication sites. (4) Immune response: Host immune response is manipulated to evade host cell attacks against SARS-CoV-2 and increased inflammation by dysregulating immune cells. Efficiency of immunosuppressive therapy must be elucidated. (5) Programmed cell death: SARS-CoV-2 inhibits programmed cell death in early stages and induces apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis in later stages. (6) Energy metabolism: SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to disturbed energy metabolism that in turn leads to a decrease in ATP production and ROS production. (7) Viroporins: SARS-CoV-2 creates viroporins that lead to an imbalance of ion homeostasis. This causes apoptosis, altered action potential, and arrhythmia.

Abstract
Although classic swine fever virus (CSFV) infection has been reported to induce autophagy, the specific induced mechanism remains unrevealed. Nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of CSFV is a multiphosphorylated protein with multiple functions to regulate viral replication and the host cell immune responses. Herein, we demonstrated that CSFV NS5A could induce cellular autophagy and promote viral replication. In the current study, we showed that NS5A expression significantly increased the levels of autophagy-related genes (ATGs), including light chain 3 (LC3), ATG5, and Beclin 1; conversely, degradation of P62/sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) was observed by Western blotting. The number of autophagy-like vesicles was also obviously increased in NS5A-expressing cells, as analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, we observed the co-localization of the NS5A and LC3 proteins by confocal immunofluorescence analysis. Direct binding of NS5A to the autophagy-related LC3 protein was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation in vivo and by a GST pulldown assay in vitro. Through segmentation and point mutation research on the NS5A protein, we found that the N-terminal region and the phosphorylation of amino acids 81 and 92 of the NS5A protein were essential for inducing autophagy. Finally, we demonstrated that the LC3 protein had a positive effect on CSFV replication. These findings emphasize a previously unascertained interaction relationship between NS5A and LC3 in the autophagy process. Furthermore, our research revealed a new role of CSFV NS5A, particularly its N-terminal amino acids serine 81 and serine 92, as a critical regulator of CSFV-induced autophagy and have significance for extending our understanding of the CSFV-autophagy interplay.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), an enterovirus (EV) in the family of Picornaviridae, is a global human pathogen for which effective antiviral treatments and vaccines are lacking. Previous research demonstrated that EV-D68 downregulated the membrane fusion protein SNAP47 (synaptosome associated protein 47) and SNAP47 promoted EV-D68 replication via regulating autophagy. In the current study, we investigated the interplay between CVB3 and cellular SNAP47 using HEK293T/HeLa cell models. We showed that, upon CVB3 infection, protein levels of SNAP47 decreased independent of the activity of virus-encoded proteinase 3C. We further demonstrated that the depletion of SNAP47 inhibited CVB3 infection, indicating a pro-viral function of SNAP47. Moreover, we found that SNAP47 co-localizes with the autophagy-related protein ATG14 on the cellular membrane fractions together with viral capsid protein VP1, and expression of SNAP47 or ATG14 enhanced VP1 conjugation. Finally, we revealed that disulfide interactions had an important role in strengthening VP1 conjugation. Collectively, our study elucidated a mechanism by which SNAP47 and ATG14 promoted CVB3 propagation through facilitating viral capsid assembly.
