[PMID: 38763244 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132482] [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: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is known to upregulate glycolysis to supply biomolecules and energy for the virus's replication. At the viral genome replication stage, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a glycolytic enzyme, shows increased activity without any increase in expression. In the present study, yeast 2-hybrid screening was used to identify WSSV proteins that interacted with LvLDH isoform 1 and 2, and these included the WSSV early protein WSSV004. The interaction between WSSV004 and LvLDH1/2 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. Immunofluorescence showed that WSSV004 co-localized with LvLDH1/2 in the cytoplasm. dsRNA silencing experiments showed that WSSV004 was crucial for WSSV replication. However, although WSSV004 silencing led to the suppression of total LvLDH gene expression during the viral late stage, there was nevertheless a significant increase in LvLDH activity at this time. We also used affinity purification-mass spectrometry to identify cellular proteins that interact with WSSV004, and found a total of 108 host proteins and 3 WSSV proteins with which it potentially interacts. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that WSSV004 and its interacting proteins might be responsible for various biological pathways during infection, including vesicular transport machinery and RNA-related functions. Collectively, our study suggests that WSSV004 serves as a multifunctional modulator to facilitate WSSV replication.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with male infertility. The mechanism includes an increase in chromosomal instability in sperm, which has an adverse effect on sperm viability and function. Sertoli cells (SCs) are vital in spermatogenesis because they use glycolysis to provide energy to germ cells and themselves. HBV infection impairs sperm function. However, whether HBV infection disrupts energy metabolism in SCs remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the role of serum exosomes of HBV-infected patients in SC viability and glycolysis. Serum exosomes were obtained from 30 patients with (HBV+_exo) or without (HBV-_exo) HBV infection using high-speed centrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy and western blot analysis. Cell viability is determined by CCK-8 assay. Glycolysis is determined by detecting extracellular acidification rate and ATP levels. miR-122-5p expression levels are detected by quantitative RT-PCR, and a dual-luciferase gene reporter assay confirms the downstream target gene of miR-122-5p. Protein expression is determined by western blot analysis. The results show that HBV+ _exo inhibited cell viability, extracellular acidification rate, and ATP production of SCs. miR-122-5p is highly expressed in HBV+ _exo compared with that in HBV-_exo. Furthermore, HBV+ _exo is efficiently taken up by SCs, whereas miR-122-5p is efficiently transported to SCs. miR-122-5p overexpression downregulates ALDOA expression and inhibits SC viability and glycolysis. However, ALDOA overexpression reverses the effects of miR-122-5p and HBV+ _exo on SC viability and glycolysis. HBV+ _exo may deliver miR-122-5p to target ALDOA and inhibit SC viability and glycolysis, thus providing new therapeutic ideas for treating HBV-associated male infertility.

Abstract
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections pose a global public health challenge. Despite extensive research on this disease, the intricate mechanisms underlying persistent HBV infection require further in-depth elucidation. Recent studies have revealed the pivotal roles of immunometabolism and epigenetic reprogramming in chronic HBV infection. Immunometabolism have identified as the process, which link cell metabolic status with innate immunity functions in response to HBV infection, ultimately contributing to the immune system's inability to resolve Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB). Within hepatocytes, HBV replication leads to a stable viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) minichromosome located in the nucleus, and epigenetic modifications in cccDNA enable persistence of infection. Additionally, the accumulation or depletion of metabolites not only directly affects the function and homeostasis of immune cells but also serves as a substrate for regulating epigenetic modifications, subsequently influencing the expression of antiviral immune genes and facilitating the occurrence of sustained HBV infection. The interaction between immunometabolism and epigenetic modifications has led to a new research field, known as metabolic epigenomics, which may form a mutually reinforcing relationship with CHB. Herein, we review the recent studies on immunometabolism and epigenetic reprogramming in CHB infection and discuss the potential mechanisms of persistent HBV infection. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms will offer novel insights and targets for intervention strategies against chronic HBV infection, thereby providing new hope for the treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is closely related to viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV infection can reprogram metabolism processes of the host cells including glucose metabolism. The aberrant glucose metabolism may aid in viral infection and immune escape and may contribute to liver associated pathology. In this review, we discussed the interplay between HBV infection and glucose metabolism, which may provide new insights into HBV infection and pathology, novel intervention targets for HBV-related diseases.

Abstract
Hepatitis viruses modify the cellular metabolism of hepatocytes by interacting with specific enzymes such as glucokinase. The metabolic changes induced by viruses can have a direct impact on the innate antiviral response. The complex interactions between viral components, innate immunity, and hepatocyte metabolism explain why chronic hepatitis infections lead to liver inflammation, progressing to cirrhosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Metabolic regulators could be used in innovative therapies to deprive viruses of key metabolites and induce an antiviral defense.

Abstract
Viral infections alter host cell metabolism and homeostasis; however, the mechanisms that regulate these processes have only begun to be elucidated. We report here that Zika virus (ZIKV) infection activates the antioxidant nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which precedes oxidative stress. Downregulation of Nrf2 or inhibition of glutathione (GSH) synthesis resulted in significantly increased viral replication. Interestingly, 6-amino-nicotinamide (6-AN), a nicotinamide analog commonly used as an inhibitor of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), decreased viral replication by over 1,000-fold. This inhibition was neither recapitulated by the knockdown of PPP enzymes, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), or 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), nor prevented by supplementation with ribose 5-phosphate. Instead, our metabolomics and metabolic phenotype studies support a mechanism in which 6-AN depletes cells of NAD(H) and impairs NAD(H)-dependent glycolytic steps resulting in inhibition of viral replication. The inhibitory effect of 6-AN was rescued with precursors of the salvage pathway but not with those of other NAD+ biosynthesis pathways. Inhibition of glycolysis reduced viral protein levels, which were recovered transiently. This transient recovery in viral protein synthesis was prevented when oxidative metabolism was inhibited by blockage of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, fatty acid oxidation, or glutaminolysis, demonstrating a compensatory role of mitochondrial metabolism in ZIKV replication. These results establish an antagonistic role for the host cell Nrf2/GSH/NADPH-dependent antioxidant response against ZIKV and demonstrate the dependency of ZIKV replication on NAD(H). Importantly, our work suggests the potential use of NAD(H) antimetabolite therapy against the viral infection. IMPORTANCE Zika virus (ZIKV) is a major public health concern of international proportions. While the incidence of ZIKV infections has declined substantially in recent years, the potential for the reemergence or reintroduction remains high. Although viral infection alters host cell metabolism and homeostasis to promote its replication, deciphering the mechanism(s) involved in these processes is important for identifying therapeutic targets. The present work reveals the complexities of host cell redox regulation and metabolic dependency of ZIKV replication. An antagonistic effect of the Nrf2/GSH/NADP(H)-dependent antioxidant response against ZIKV infection and an essential role of NAD(H) metabolism and glycolysis for viral replication are established for the first time. These findings highlight the potential use of NAD(H) antimetabolites to counter ZIKV infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease, a class of animal diseases, is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The metabolic changes during FMDV infection remain unclear. Here, PK-15 cells, serum, and tonsils infected with FMDV were analyzed by metabolomics. A total of 284 metabolites in cells were significantly changed after FMDV infection, and most of them belong to amino acids and nucleotides. Further studies showed that FMDV infection significantly enhanced aspartate in vitro and in vivo. The amino acid transporter solute carrier family 38 member 8 (SLC38A8) was responsible for FMDV-upregulated aspartate. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Seneca Valley virus (SVV) infection also enhanced aspartate by SLC38A8. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was also elevated in FMDV-, EV71-, and SVV-infected cells, which may lead to reversible transition between the TCA cycle and amino acids synthesis. Aspartate and SLC38A8 were essential for FMDV, EV71, and SVV replication in cells. In addition, aspartate and SLC38A8 also promoted FMDV and EV71 replication in mice. Detailed analysis indicated that FMDV infection promoted the transfer of mTOR to lysosome to enhance interaction between mTOR and Rheb, and activated PI3K/AKT/TSC2/Rheb/mTOR/p70S6K1 pathway to promote viral replication. The mTORC1 signaling pathway was responsible for FMDV-induced SLC38A8 protein expression. For the first time, our data identified metabolic changes during FMDV infection. These data identified a novel mechanism used by FMDV to upregulate aspartate to promote viral replication and will provide new perspectives for developing new preventive strategies.

Abstract
The human liver mediates whole-body metabolism, systemic inflammation and responses to hepatotropic pathogens. Hepatocytes, the most abundant cell type of the liver, have critical roles in each of these activities. The regulation of metabolic pathways, such as glucose metabolism, lipid biosynthesis and oxidation, influences whole-organism functionality. However, the immune potential of the liver in general and hepatocytes in particular is also determined by metabolic ability. The major shifts in cellular metabolism required to drive activity in immune cells are now well-described. Given the unique functions of hepatocytes in systemic metabolism and inflammation, and their ability to mediate local antiviral innate immunity, the metabolic shifts required to facilitate these activities are likely to be complex and challenging to define. In this review, we explore what is known about the complex metabolic rewiring required for hepatocytes to respond appropriately to viral infection. We also discuss how viruses can manipulate hepatocyte metabolism to facilitate infection.

Abstract
Viruses play an important role in cancer development as about 12% of cancer types are linked to viral infections. Viruses that induce cellular transformation are known as oncoviruses. Although the mechanisms of viral oncogenesis differ between viruses, all oncogenic viruses share the ability to establish persistent chronic infections with no obvious symptoms for years. During these prolonged infections, oncogenic viruses manipulate cell signaling pathways that control cell cycle progression, apoptosis, inflammation, and metabolism. Importantly, it seems that most oncoviruses depend on these changes for their persistence and amplification. Metabolic changes induced by oncoviruses share many common features with cancer metabolism. Indeed, viruses, like proliferating cancer cells, require increased biosynthetic precursors for virion production, need to balance cellular redox homeostasis, and need to ensure host cell survival in a given tissue microenvironment. Thus, like for cancer cells, viral replication and persistence of infected cells frequently depend on metabolic changes. Here, we draw parallels between metabolic changes observed in cancers or induced by oncoviruses, with a focus on pathways involved in the regulation of glucose, lipid, and amino acids. We describe whether and how oncoviruses depend on metabolic changes, with the perspective of targeting them for antiviral and onco-therapeutic approaches in the context of viral infections.

Abstract
Hepatitis B, C and D viruses (HBV, HCV, HDV, respectively) specifically infect human hepatocytes and often establish chronic viral infections of the liver, thus escaping antiviral immunity for years. Like other viruses, hepatitis viruses rely on the cellular machinery to meet their energy and metabolite requirements for replication. Although this was initially considered passive parasitism, studies have shown that hepatitis viruses actively rewire cellular metabolism through molecular interactions with specific enzymes such as glucokinase, the first rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis. As part of research efforts in the field of immunometabolism, it has also been shown that metabolic changes induced by viruses could have a direct impact on the innate antiviral response. Conversely, detection of viral components by innate immunity receptors not only triggers the activation of the antiviral defense but also induces in-depth metabolic reprogramming that is essential to support immunological functions. Altogether, these complex triangular interactions between viral components, innate immunity and hepatocyte metabolism may explain why chronic hepatitis infections progressively lead to liver inflammation and progression to cirrhosis, fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this manuscript, we first present a global overview of known connections between the innate antiviral response and cellular metabolism. We then report known molecular mechanisms by which hepatitis viruses interfere with cellular metabolism in hepatocytes and discuss potential consequences on the innate immune response. Finally, we present evidence that drugs targeting hepatocyte metabolism could be used as an innovative strategy not only to deprive viruses of key metabolites, but also to restore the innate antiviral response that is necessary to clear infection.

Abstract
Viruses as intracellular pathogens take over the host metabolism and reprogram to facilitate optimal virus production. DNA viruses can cause alterations in several metabolic pathways, including aerobic glycolysis also known as the Warburg effect, pentose phosphate pathway activation, and amino acid catabolism such as glutaminolysis, nucleotide biosynthesis, lipid metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis. The available energy for productive infection can be increased in infected cells via modification of different carbon source utilization. This review discusses the metabolic alterations of the DNA viruses that will be the basis for future novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Reprogramming of host metabolism is a common strategy of viral evasion of host cells, and is essential for successful viral infection and induction of cancer in the context cancer viruses. Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common AIDS-associated cancer caused by KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. KSHV-encoded viral interferon regulatory factor 1 (vIRF1) regulates multiple signaling pathways and plays an important role in KSHV infection and oncogenesis. However, the role of vIRF1 in KSHV-induced metabolic reprogramming remains elusive. Here we show that vIRF1 increases glucose uptake, ATP production and lactate secretion by downregulating heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein Q1 (hnRNP Q1). Mechanistically, vIRF1 upregulates and recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase Kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) to degrade hnRNP Q1 through a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, hnRNP Q1 binds to and stabilizes the mRNA of glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 1 (GDPD1). However, vIRF1 targets hnRNP Q1 for degradation, which destabilizes GDPD1 mRNA, resulting in induction of aerobic glycolysis. These results reveal a novel role of vIRF1 in KSHV metabolic reprogramming, and identifying a potential therapeutic target for KSHV infection and KSHV-induced cancers.

Abstract
Naturally evolved immune-escape PreS2 mutant is an oncogenic caveat of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. PreS2 mutant is prevalent in above 50% of patients with HCC. In addition, intrahepatic expression of PreS2 mutant large surface antigen (PreS2-LHBS) induces endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondria dysfunction, cytokinesis failure, and subsequent chromosome hyperploidy. As PreS2-LHBS has no enzymatic activity, the development of PreS2-specific inhibitors can be challenging. In this study, we aim to identify inhibitors of PreS2-LHBS via the induction of protein-specific degradation. We set up a large-scale protein stability reporter platform and applied an FDA-approved drug library for the screening. We identified ABT199 as a negative modulator of PreS2-LHBS, which induced the degradation of PreS2-LHBS without affecting the general cell viability in both hepatoma and immortalized hepatocytes. Next, by affinity purification screening, we found that PreS2-LHBS interacted with HSC70, a microautophagy mediating chaperone. Simultaneously, inhibitions of lysosomal degradation or microautophagy restored the expression of PreS2-LHBS, suggesting microautophagy is involved in ABT199-induced PreS2-LHBS degradation. Notably, a 24-hr treatment of ABT199 was sufficient for the reduction of DNA damage and cytokinesis failure in PreS2-LHBS expressing hepatocytes. In addition, a persistent treatment of ABT199 for 3 weeks reversed chromosome hyperploidy in PreS2-LHBS cells and suppressed anchorage-independent growth of HBV-positive hepatoma cells. Together, this study identified ABT-199 as a negative modulator of PreS2-LHBS via mediating microautophagy. Our results indicated that long-term inhibition of PreS2-LHBS may serve as a novel strategy for the therapeutic prevention of HBV-mediated HCC.

Abstract
Viral infection almost invariably causes metabolic changes in the infected cell and several types of host cells that respond to the infection. Among metabolic changes, the most prominent is the upregulated glycolysis process as the main pathway of glucose utilization. Glycolysis activation is a common mechanism of cell adaptation to several viral infections, including noroviruses, rhinoviruses, influenza virus, Zika virus, cytomegalovirus, coronaviruses and others. Such metabolic changes provide potential targets for therapeutic approaches that could reduce the impact of infection. Glycolysis inhibitors, especially 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), have been intensively studied as antiviral agents. However, 2-DG’s poor pharmacokinetic properties limit its wide clinical application. Herein, we discuss the potential of 2-DG and its novel analogs as potent promising antiviral drugs with special emphasis on targeted intracellular processes.

Abstract
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the causative agent of a shrimp disease that inflicts in huge economic losses in shrimp-farming industry. WSSV triggers aerobic glycolysis in shrimp immune cells (hemocytes), but how this virus regulates glycolytic enzymes or pathway is yet to be characterized. Therefore, mRNA levels and activity of four important glycolytic enzymes, Hexokinase (HK), Phosphofructokinase (PFK), Pyruvate kinase (PK), and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), were measured in WSSV-infected shrimp hemocytes. Gene expression of HK and PFK, but not LDH or PK, was increased at the viral genome replication stage (12 hpi); furthermore, activity of these enzymes, except HK, was concurrently increased. However, there was no increased enzyme activity at the viral late stage (24 hpi). In vivo dsRNA silencing and glycolysis disruption by 2-DG further confirmed the role of glycolysis in virus replication. Based on tracing studies using stable isotope labeled glucose, glycolysis was activated at the viral genome replication stage, but not at the viral late stage. This study demonstrated that WSSV enhanced glycolysis by activating glycolytic enzyme at the viral genome replication stage, providing energy and biomolecules for virus replication.

Abstract
Currently, determining when to start antiviral therapy in patients with chronic HBV infection is a controversial issue. One crucial reason is that biomarkers for distinguishing the natural history of chronic HBV infection are unmet needs. In this study, we aimed to explore novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic HBV infection by using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics approach. Here, we firstly revealed the serum proteomic characterization of the natural history of chronic HBV infection using multiplex TMT labeling coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Then, we verified the levels of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) across a large number of clinical samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that DEPs over the different phases of chronic HBV infection were primarily involved in the biological process of leukocyte-mediated immunity. Patients with chronic hepatitis were characterized as having an up-regulated proteasome pathway, including upregulation of proteasome activator subunit 1 (PSME1) and proteasome subunit alpha type 7 (PSMA7) levels. In addition, immune tolerant phase patients were characterized by having the lowest ephrin-B2 (EFNB2) levels and highest heat responsive protein 12 (HRSP12) levels. Moreover, inactive HBV carrier state patients were characterized by having a down-regulated glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway, with especially low expression of related enzymes alpha-enolase (ENO1) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1). What's more, HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis patients were characterized as having the highest interleukin 18 binding protein (IL-18BP) levels. Thus, our results provide several potential diagnostic biomarkers for distinguishing the natural history of chronic HBV infection, such as PSME1, PSMA7, EFNB2, ENO1, and IL-18BP, and also present potential therapeutic interventions for chronic hepatitis B patients, such as targeting the proteasome or glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways. Our findings shed new light on the development of novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic HBV infection.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), which is involved in the calcium signaling pathway, is an important regulator of cancer cell proliferation, motility, growth, and metastasis. The effects of CaMKII on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication have never been evaluated. Here, we found that phosphorylated, active CaMKII is reduced during HBV replication. Similar to other members of the AMPK/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway associated with HBV replication, CaMKII, which is associated with this pathway, was found to be a novel regulator of HBV replication. Overexpression of CaMKII reduced the expression of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), HBV RNAs, and replicative intermediate (RI) DNAs while activating AMPK and inhibiting the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Findings in HBx-deficient mutant-transfected HepG2 cells showed that the CaMKII-mediated AMPK/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was independent of HBx. Moreover, AMPK overexpression reduced HBV cccDNA, RNAs, and RI DNAs through CaMKII activation. Although AMPK acts downstream of CaMKII, AMPK overexpression altered CaMKII phosphorylation, suggesting that CaMKII and AMPK form a positive feedback loop. These results demonstrate that HBV replication suppresses CaMKII activity, and that CaMKII upregulation suppresses HBV replication from cccDNA via AMPK and the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Thus, activation or overexpression of CaMKII may be a new therapeutic target against HBV infection.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA), a noncoding RNA over 200nt in length, can regulate glycolysis through metabolic pathways, glucose metabolizing enzymes, and epigenetic reprogramming. Upon viral infection, increased aerobic glycolysis providzes material and energy for viral replication. Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is the only protein-specified downstream of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) that bridges the gap between antiviral immunity and glycolysis. MAVS binding to RIG-I inhibits MAVS binding to Hexokinase (HK2), thereby impairing glycolysis, while excess lactate production inhibits MAVS and the downstream antiviral immune response, facilitating viral replication. LncRNAs can also regulate antiviral innate immunity by interacting with RIG-I and downstream signaling pathways and by regulating the expression of interferons and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Altogether, we summarize the relationship between glycolysis, antiviral immunity, and lncRNAs and propose that lncRNAs interact with glycolysis and antiviral pathways, providing a new perspective for the future treatment against virus infection, including SARS-CoV-2.
