[PMID: 38768912 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132515] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
p62, also known as SQSTM1, has been shown to be closely related to the coronavirus. However, it remains unclear on the relationship between p62 and NIBV infection. Moreover, there are no available antibodies against the chicken p62 protein. Thus, this study aimed to prepare p62 polyclonal antibody and investigate the correlation between the p62 protein and NIBV infection. Here, PET-32a-p62 prokaryotic fusion expression vector was constructed for prokaryotic protein expression, and then p62 polyclonal antibody was prepared by immunizing rabbits. Lastly, these antibodies were then utilized in Western blotting (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescence (IF) assays. The results showed that we successfully prepared chicken p62 polyclonal antibody. Meanwhile, WB and IF demonstrated that the expression of p62 showed a trend of first increase and then decrease after NIBV infection. IHC showed that the expression of p62 in the spleen, lung, kidney, bursa of Fabricius and trachea of chickens infected with NIBV in 11 dpi was significantly higher than that of normal chickens. Taken together, this study successfully prepared a polyclonal antibody for chicken p62 protein and confirmed its application and expression in chickens, as well as the expression of p62 in tissues after NIBV infection.

Insights into the effects of chronic combined chromium-nickel exposure on colon damage in mice through transcriptomic analysis and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion assay. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 279:116458. [PMID: 38759536 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Heavy metals interact with each other in a coexisting manner to produce complex combined toxicity to organisms. At present, the toxic effects of chronic co-exposure to heavy metals hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and divalent nickel [Ni(II)] on organisms are seldom studied and the related mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we explored the mechanism of the colon injury in mice caused by chronic exposure to Cr or/and Ni. The results showed that, compared with the control group, Cr or/and Ni chronic exposure affected the body weight of mice, and led to infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon, decreased the number of goblet cells, fusion of intracellular mucus particles and damaged cell structure of intestinal epithelial. In the Cr or/and Ni exposure group, the activity of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) increased, the expression levels of MUC2 were significantly down-regulated, and those of ZO-1 and Occludin were significantly up-regulated. Interestingly, factorial analysis revealed an interaction between Cr and Ni, which was manifested as antagonistic effects on iNOS activity, ZO-1 and MUC2 mRNA expression levels. Transcriptome sequencing further revealed that the expression of genes-related to inflammation, intestinal mucus and tight junctions changed obviously. Moreover, the relative contents of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) in the Cr, Ni and Cr+Ni groups all changed with in-vitro gastrointestinal (IVG)digestion, especially in the Cr+Ni group. Our results indicated that the chronic exposure to Cr or/and Ni can lead to damage to the mice colon, and the relative content changes of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) might be the main reason for the antagonistic effect of Cr+Ni exposure on the colon damage.

Abstract
Cellular integrated stress response (ISR), the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), and IFN signaling are associated with viral infections. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) plays a pivotal role in these pathways and controls the expression of many genes involved in redox processes, amino acid metabolism, protein misfolding, autophagy, and apoptosis. The precise role of ATF4 during viral infection is unclear and depends on cell hosts, viral agents, and models. Furthermore, ATF4 signaling can be hijacked by pathogens to favor viral infection and replication. In this review, we summarize the ATF4-mediated signaling pathways in response to viral infections, focusing on human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). We examine the consequences of ATF4 activation for HIV-1 replication and reactivation. The role of ATF4 in autophagy and apoptosis is explored as in the context of HIV-1 infection programmed cell deaths contribute to the depletion of CD4 T cells. Furthermore, ATF4 can also participate in the establishment of innate and adaptive immunity that is essential for the host to control viral infections. We finally discuss the putative role of the ATF4 paralogue, named ATF5, in HIV-1 infection. This review underlines the role of ATF4 at the crossroads of multiple processes reflecting host-pathogen interactions.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an acute and highly infectious viral disease that seriously endangered the development of the chicken industry. However, due to the limited effectiveness of commercial vaccines, there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective anti-IBV drugs. Forsythoside A (FTA) is a natural ingredient with wide pharmacological and biological activities, and it has been shown to have antiviral effects against IBV. However, the antiviral mechanism of FTA is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that FTA can inhibit cell apoptosis and autophagy induced by IBV infection by regulating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. This finding is important for exploring the role and mechanism of FTA in anti-IBV infection, indicating that FTA can be further studied as an anti-IBV drug.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 196:105625.

Abstract
Cypermethrin (CYP, IUPAC name: [cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl] 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate) is a pyrethroid insecticide that poses a threat to the health of humans and aquatic animals due to its widespread use and environmental contamination. However, the mechanism of CYP on apoptosis, autophagy and inflammation in hepatocytes of carp (Cyprinus carpio) is unknown. We hypothesized that CYP caused damage to hepatocytes through the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway, CCK-8 was used to detect the toxic effects of different doses of CYP on hepatocytes, and finally low (L, 10 μM), medium (M, 40 μM), and high (H, 80 μM) doses of CYP was selected to construct the model. ROS staining, oxidative stress-related indices (MDA, CAT, T-AOC, SOD), AO/EB staining, MDC staining, and the expression levels of related genes were detected using qRT-PCR and western blot. Our results showed that CYP exposure resulted in an increase in ROS production, an increase in MDA content, and a decrease in the activity of CAT, SOD, and T-AOC in hepatocytes; the proportion of apoptotic, necrotic, and autophagic cells increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner. We also found that CYP exposure increased the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum-related genes (GRP78, PERK, IRE-1, ATF-6 and CHOP), apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cyt-c) and autophagy-related genes (LC3b, Beclin1 and P62) also showed dose-dependent changes, and the expression levels of inflammation-related genes (NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) were also significantly elevated. Thus, we demonstrated that CYP exposure caused apoptosis, autophagy and inflammation in hepatocytes via ERS-ROS-NF-κB axis. This research contributes to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying CYP-induced damage in hepatocytes of carp (Cyprinus carpio).

Abstract
Receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is a vital serine/threonine kinase in regulating the programmed destruction of infected cells to defend against RNA viruses. Although the role of RIPK3 in viruses in mice is well characterized, it remains unclear where in nephropathogenic infectious bronchitis virus (NIBV) in chickens. Here, we use a self-prepared polyclonal antibody to clarify the abundance of RIPK3 in tissues and define the contributions of RIPK3 in tissue damage caused by NIBV infection in chickens. Western blot analyses showed that RIPK3 polyclonal antibody can specifically recognize RIPK3 in the vital tissues of Hy-Line brown chicks and RIPK3 protein is abundantly expressed in the liver and kidney. Moreover, NIBV significantly upregulated the expression levels of RIPK3 in the trachea and kidney of chicks in a time-dependent manner. In addition, the activation of necroptosis in response to NIBV infection was demonstrated by the coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) experiments through RIPK3 in the necrosome, which phosphorylates its downstream mixed-spectrum kinase structural domain-like protein (MLKL). Our findings offered preliminary insights into the key role of RIPK3 protein in studying the underlying mechanism of organ failure caused by NIBV infection.

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