Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a tightly regulated cellular process integral to homeostasis and innate immunity. As such, dysregulation of autophagy is associated with cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases. While numerous factors that promote autophagy have been characterized, the key mechanisms that prevent excessive autophagy are less well understood. Here, we identify CSNK2/CK2 (casein kinase 2) as a negative regulator of autophagy. Pharmacological inhibition of CSNK2 activity or siRNA-mediated depletion of CSNK2 increased basal autophagic flux in cell lines and primary human lung cells. Vice versa, ectopic expression of CSNK2 reduced autophagic flux. Mechanistically, CSNK2 interacted with the FLN (filamin)-NHL domain-containing tripartite motif (TRIM) family members TRIM2, TRIM3 and TRIM71. Our data show that recruitment of CSNK2 to the C-terminal NHL domain of TRIM3 lead to its robust phosphorylation at serine 661 by CSNK2. A phosphorylation-defective mutant of TRIM3 was unable to reduce autophagosome numbers indicating that phosphorylation by CSNK2 is required for TRIM-mediated autophagy inhibition. All three TRIMs facilitated inactivation of the ULK1-BECN1 autophagy initiation complex by facilitating ULK1 serine 757 phosphorylation. Inhibition of CSNK2 promoted autophagy upon influenza A virus (IAV) and measles virus (MeV) infection. In line with this, targeting of CSNK2 or depletion of TRIM2, TRIM3 or TRIM71 enhanced autophagy-dependent restriction of IAV, MeV and human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). Thus, our results identify the CSNK2-TRIM2, -TRIM3, -TRIM71 axis as a key regulatory pathway that limits autophagy. Targeting this axis may allow for therapeutic induction of autophagy against viral infections and in diseases associated with dysregulated autophagy.Abbreviation: ATG5: autophagy related 5; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; BECN1: beclin 1; CCD: coiled-coil domain; CSNK2/CK2: casein kinase 2; CSNK2A1: casein kinase 2 alpha 1; CSNK2A2: casein kinase 2 alpha 2; CSNK2B: casein kinase 2 beta; FLN: filamin; HeLa GL: HeLa cells stably expressing eGFP-LC3B; HIV-1: human immunodeficiency virus 1; IAV: influenza A virus; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MeV: measles virus; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; RING: really interesting new gene; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TRIM: tripartite motif; ULK1: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1.

Abstract
Technologies to study localized host-pathogen interactions are urgently needed. Here, we present a spatial transcriptomics approach to simultaneously capture host and pathogen transcriptome-wide spatial gene expression information from human formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections at a near single-cell resolution. We demonstrate this methodology in lung samples from COVID-19 patients and validate our spatial detection of SARS-CoV-2 against RNAScope and in situ sequencing. Host-pathogen colocalization analysis identified putative modulators of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung cells. Our approach provides new insights into host response to pathogen infection through the simultaneous, unbiased detection of two transcriptomes in FFPE samples.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) requires the fast discovery of effective treatments to fight this worldwide concern. Several genes associated with the SARS-CoV-2, which are essential for its functionality, pathogenesis, and survival, have been identified. These genes, which play crucial roles in SARS-CoV-2 infection, are considered potential therapeutic targets. Developing drugs against these essential genes to inhibit their regular functions could be a good approach for COVID-19 treatment. Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods provide powerful infrastructures for interpreting and understanding the available data and can assist in finding fast explanations and cures. We propose a method to highlight the essential genes that play crucial roles in SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. For this purpose, we define eleven informative topological and biological features for the biological and PPI networks constructed on gene sets that correspond to COVID-19. Then, we use three different unsupervised learning algorithms with different approaches to rank the important genes with respect to our defined informative features. Finally, we present a set of 18 important genes related to COVID-19. Materials and implementations are available at: https://github.com/MahnazHabibi/Gene_analysis .

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered a risk factor for severe COVID-19, but the mechanism remains unknown. This study used bioinformatics to help define the relationship between these diseases. The GSE147507 (COVID-19), GSE126848 (NAFLD), and GSE63067 (NAFLD-2) datasets were screened using the Gene Expression Omnibus. Common differentially expressed genes were then identified using a Venn diagram. Gene ontology analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment were performed on the differentially expressed genes. A protein-protein interaction network was also constructed using the STRING platform, and key genes were identified using the Cytoscape plugin. GES63067 was selected for validation of the results. Analysis of ferroptosis gene expression during the development of the 2 diseases and prediction of their upstream miRNAs and lncRNAs. In addition, transcription factors (TFs) and miRNAs related to key genes were identified. Effective drugs that act on target genes were found in the DSigDB. The GSE147507 and GSE126848 datasets were crossed to obtain 28 co-regulated genes, 22 gene ontology terms, 3 KEGG pathways, and 10 key genes. NAFLD may affect COVID-19 progression through immune function and inflammatory signaling pathways. CYBB was predicted to be a differential ferroptosis gene associated with 2 diseases, and the CYBB-hsa-miR-196a/b-5p-TUG1 regulatory axis was identified. TF-gene interactions and TF-miRNA coregulatory network were constructed successfully. A total of 10 drugs, (such as Eckol, sulfinpyrazone, and phenylbutazone) were considered as target drugs for Patients with COVID-19 and NAFLD. This study identified key gene and defined molecular mechanisms associated with the progression of COVID-19 and NAFLD. COVID-19 and NAFLD progression may regulate ferroptosis through the CYBB-hsa-miR-196a/b-5p-TUG1 axis. This study provides additional drug options for the treatment of COVID-19 combined with NAFLD disease.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected a large portion of the global population, both physically and mentally. Current evidence suggests that the rapidly evolving coronavirus subvariants risk rendering vaccines and antibodies ineffective due to their potential to evade existing immunity, with enhanced transmission activity and higher reinfection rates that could lead to new outbreaks across the globe. The goal of viral management is to disrupt the viral life cycle as well as to relieve severe symptoms such as lung damage, cytokine storm, and organ failure. In the fight against viruses, the combination of viral genome sequencing, elucidation of the structure of viral proteins, and identifying proteins that are highly conserved across multiple coronaviruses has revealed many potential molecular targets. In addition, the time- and cost-effective repurposing of preexisting antiviral drugs or approved/clinical drugs for these targets offers considerable clinical advantages for COVID-19 patients. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various identified pathogenic targets and pathways as well as corresponding repurposed approved/clinical drugs and their potential against COVID-19. These findings provide new insight into the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies that could be applied to the control of disease symptoms emanating from evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infectious disease that seriously threatens human life. The clinical manifestations of severe COVID-19 include acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of COVID-19, spreads through contaminated droplets. SARS-CoV-2 particles have been detected in the saliva of COVID-19 patients, implying that the virus can infect and damage the oral cavity. The oral manifestations of COVID-19 include xerostomia and gustatory dysfunction. Numerous studies showed that the four structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 are its potential pathogenic factors, especially the S protein, which binds to human ACE2 receptors facilitating the entry of the virus into the host cells. Usually, upon entry into the host cell, a pathogen triggers the host’s immune response. However, a mount of multi-omics and immunological analyses revealed that COVID-19 is caused by immune dysregulation. A decrease in the number and phenotypes of immune cells, IFN-1 production and excessive release of certain cytokines have also been reported. In conclusion, this review summarizes the oral manifestations of COVID-19 and multi-omics analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Targeting of Protein Kinase CK2 Elicits Antiviral Activity on Bovine Coronavirus Infection. Viruses 2022; 14:552.

Abstract
Coronaviruses constitute a global threat to the human population; therefore, effective pan-coronavirus antiviral drugs are required to tackle future re-emerging virus outbreaks. Protein kinase CK2 has been suggested as a promising therapeutic target in COVID-19 owing to the in vitro antiviral activity observed after both pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of the enzyme. Here, we explored the putative antiviral effect of the anti-CK2 peptide CIGB-325 on bovine coronavirus (BCoV) infection using different in vitro viral infected cell-based assays. The impact of the peptide on viral mRNA and protein levels was determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Finally, pull-down experiments followed by Western blot and/or mass spectrometry analysis were performed to identify CIGB-325-interacting proteins. We found that CIGB-325 inhibited both the cytopathic effect and the number of plaque-forming units. Accordingly, intracellular viral protein levels were clearly reduced after treatment of BCoV-infected cells, with CIGB-325 determined by immunocytochemistry. Pull-down assay data revealed the physical interaction of CIGB-325 with viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and a group of bona fide CK2 cellular substrates. Our findings evidence in vitro antiviral activity of CIGB-325 against bovine coronavirus as well as some molecular clues that might support such effect. Altogether, data provided here strengthen the rationale of inhibiting CK2 to treat betacoronavirus infections.
