Abstract
BACKGROUND The global outbreak of COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 has led to millions of deaths. This unanticipated emergency has prompted virologists across the globe to delve deeper into the intricate dynamicity of the host-virus interface with an aim to identify antiviral targets and elucidate host and viral determinants of severe disease. AIM The present study was undertaken to analyse the role of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in regulating SARS-CoV-2 infection. RESULTS Gradual increase in HDAC6 expression was observed in different SARS-CoV-2-permissive cell lines following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N protein) was identified as the primary viral factor responsible for upregulating HDAC6 expression. Downregulation of HDAC6 using shRNA or a specific inhibitor tubacin resulted in reduced viral replication suggesting proviral role of its deacetylase activity. Further investigations uncovered the interaction of HDAC6 with stress granule protein G3BP1 and N protein during infection. HDAC6-mediated deacetylation of SARS-CoV-2 N protein was found to be crucial for its association with G3BP1. CONCLUSION This study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the disruption of cytoplasmic stress granules during SARS-CoV-2 infection and highlights the significance of HDAC6 in the process.

Abstract
Histone deacetylates family proteins have been studied for their function in regulating viral replication by deacetylating non-histone proteins. RIG-I (Retinoic acid-inducible gene I) is a critical protein in RNA virus-induced innate antiviral signaling pathways. Our previous research showed that HDAC8 (histone deacetylase 8) involved in innate antiviral immune response, but the underlying mechanism during virus infection is still unclear. In this study, we showed that HDAC8 was involved in the regulation of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication. Over-expression of HDAC8 inhibited while knockdown promoted VSV replication. Further exploration demonstrated that HDAC8 interacted with and deacetylated RIG-I, which eventually lead to enhance innate antiviral immune response. Collectively, our data clearly demonstrated that HDAC8 inhibited VSV replication by promoting RIG-I mediated interferon production and downstream signaling pathway.

Abstract
Influenza virus possesses an RNA genome of single-stranded, negative-sensed, and segmented configuration. Influenza virus causes an acute respiratory disease, commonly known as the "flu" in humans. In some individuals, flu can lead to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Influenza A virus (IAV) is the most significant because it causes recurring seasonal epidemics, occasional pandemics, and zoonotic outbreaks in human populations, globally. The host innate immune response to IAV infection plays a critical role in sensing, preventing, and clearing the infection as well as in flu disease pathology. Host cells sense IAV infection through multiple receptors and mechanisms, which culminate in the induction of a concerted innate antiviral response and the creation of an antiviral state, which inhibits and clears the infection from host cells. However, IAV antagonizes and escapes many steps of the innate antiviral response by different mechanisms. Herein, we review those host and viral mechanisms. This review covers most aspects of the host innate immune response, i.e., (1) the sensing of incoming virus particles, (2) the activation of downstream innate antiviral signaling pathways, (3) the expression of interferon-stimulated genes, (4) and viral antagonism and escape.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131948. [PMID: 38688338 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131948] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
The process of wound healing includes the inflammatory stage, which plays an important role. Macrophages can promote inflammatory response and also promote angiogenesis, wound contraction and tissue remodeling required for wound healing. It is crucial to promote macrophages to polarize from M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype at a critical time for the quality of wound healing. Because mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes have broad therapeutic prospects in the field of tissue repair and regeneration, in this study, we explored whether trichostatin A pretreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes (T-Exo) could promote wound healing by binding to biomaterial scaffolds through certain anti-inflammatory effects. In the cell experiment, we established macrophage inflammation model and then treated with T-Exo, and finally detected the expression levels of macrophage polarization proteins CD206, CD86 and TNF-α, iNOS, and Arg-1 by Western Blot and immunofluorescence staining; detected the expression levels of inflammation-related genes TNF-α, iNOS, IL-1β, IL-10 and anti-inflammatory genes CD206 and Arg-1 by qRT-PCR; explored the promoting ability of T-Exo to promote cell migration and tube formation by cell scratch experiment and angiogenesis experiment. The results showed that T-Exo could promote the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, and promote the migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs. Because TSA pretreatment may bring about changes in the content and function of BMSCs-derived exosomes, proteomic analysis was performed on T-Exo and unpretreated BMSCs-derived exosomes (Exo). The results showed that the differentially expressed proteins in T-Exo were related to some pathways that promote angiogenesis, cell migration, proliferation, and re-epithelialization. Then, exosome/collagen sponge (T-Exo/Col) biological scaffolds were prepared, and the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the scaffolds were investigated. Animal skin wound models were established, and the therapeutic effect and anti-inflammatory effect of T-Exo/Col in wound repair were evaluated by small animal in vivo imaging, H&E staining, Masson trichrome staining, immunohistochemical staining, Western Blot, and qRT-PCR. The results showed that T-Exo significantly promoted wound healing by inhibiting inflammation, thereby further promoting angiogenesis and collagen formation in vivo. Moreover, the existence of Col scaffold in T-Exo/Col enabled T-Exo to achieve a certain sustained release effect. Finally, we further explored whether TSA exerts beneficial effects by inhibiting HDAC6 gene of BMSCs, but the results showed that knockdown of HDAC6 gene would cause oxidative stress damage to BMSCs, which means that TSA does not produce these beneficial effects by inhibiting HDAC6 gene. What molecular mechanisms TSA exerts beneficial effects through needs to be further elucidated in the future.

Abstract
RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are crucial for pathogen detection and triggering immune responses and have immense physiological importance. In this review, we first summarize the interferon system and innate immunity, which constitute primary and secondary responses. Next, the molecular structure of RLRs and the mechanism of sensing non-self RNA are described. Usually, self RNA is refractory to the RLR; however, there are underlying host mechanisms that prevent immune reactions. Studies have revealed that the regulatory mechanisms of RLRs involve covalent molecular modifications, association with regulatory factors, and subcellular localization. Viruses have evolved to acquire antagonistic RLR functions to escape the host immune reactions. Finally, the pathologies caused by the malfunction of RLR signaling are described.

Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and pathogenesis are linked to the disruption of neurogenesis, congenital Zika syndrome and microcephaly by affecting neural progenitor cells. Nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) is the largest product encoded by ZIKV-RNA and is important for replication and immune evasion. Here, we studied the potential effects of NS5 on microtubules (MTs) and autophagy flux, together with the interplay of NS5 with histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6). Fluorescence microscopy, biochemical cell-fractionation combined with the use of HDAC6 mutants, chemical inhibitors and RNA interference indicated that NS5 accumulates in nuclear structures and strongly promotes the acetylation of MTs that aberrantly reorganize in nested structures. Similarly, NS5 accumulates the p62 protein, an autophagic-flux marker. Therefore, NS5 alters events that are under the control of the autophagic tubulin-deacetylase HDAC6. HDAC6 appears to degrade NS5 by autophagy in a deacetylase- and BUZ domain-dependent manner and to control the cytoplasmic expression of NS5. Moreover, NS5 inhibits RNA-mediated RIG-I interferon (IFN) production, resulting in greater activity when autophagy is inhibited (i.e., effect correlated with NS5 stability). Therefore, it is conceivable that NS5 contributes to cell toxicity and pathogenesis, evading the IFN-immune response by overcoming HDAC6 functions. HDAC6 has emerged as an anti-ZIKV factor by targeting NS5.

Abstract
HDAC6, a structurally and functionally unique member of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family, is an important host factor that restricts viral infection. The broad-spectrum antiviral activity of HDAC6 makes it a potent antiviral agent. Previously, we found that HDAC6 functions to antagonize porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus with zoonotic potential. However, the final outcome is typically a productive infection that materializes as cells succumb to viral infection, indicating that the virus has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to combat the antiviral effect of HDAC6. Here, we demonstrate that PDCoV nonstructural protein 5 (nsp5) can cleave HDAC6 at glutamine 519 (Q519), and cleavage of HDAC6 was also detected in the context of PDCoV infection. More importantly, the anti-PDCoV activity of HDAC6 was damaged by nsp5 cleavage. Mechanistically, the cleaved HDAC6 fragments (amino acids 1-519 and 520-1159) lost the ability to degrade PDCoV nsp8 due to their impaired deacetylase activity. Furthermore, nsp5-mediated cleavage impaired the ability of HDAC6 to activate RIG-I-mediated interferon responses. We also tested three other swine enteric coronaviruses (transmissible gastroenteritis virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and swine acute diarrhea syndrome-coronavirus) and found that all these coronaviruses have adopted similar mechanisms to cleave HDAC6 in both an overexpression system and virus-infected cells, suggesting that cleavage of HDAC6 is a common strategy utilized by swine enteric coronaviruses to antagonize the host's antiviral capacity. Together, these data illustrate how swine enteric coronaviruses antagonize the antiviral function of HDAC6 to maintain their infection, providing new insights to the interaction between virus and host.IMPORTANCEViral infections and host defenses are in constant opposition. Once viruses combat or evade host restriction, productive infection is achieved. HDAC6 is a broad-spectrum antiviral protein that has been demonstrated to inhibit many viruses, including porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV). However, whether HDAC6 is reciprocally targeted and disabled by viruses remains unclear. In this study, we used PDCoV as a model and found that HDAC6 is targeted and cleaved by nsp5, a viral 3C-like protease. The cleaved HDAC6 loses its deacetylase activity as well as its ability to degrade viral proteins and activate interferon responses. Furthermore, this cleavage mechanism is shared among other swine enteric coronaviruses. These findings shed light on the intricate interplay between viruses and HDAC6, highlighting the strategies employed by viruses to evade host antiviral defenses.

Abstract
Influenza virus has been one of the most prevalent and researched viruses globally. Consequently, there is ample information available about influenza virus lifecycle and pathogenesis. However, there is plenty yet to be known about the determinants of influenza virus pathogenesis and disease severity. Influenza virus exploits host factors to promote each step of its lifecycle. In turn, the host deploys antiviral or restriction factors that inhibit or restrict the influenza virus lifecycle at each of those steps. Two broad categories of host restriction factors can exist in virus-infected cells: (1) encoded by the interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and (2) encoded by the constitutively expressed genes that are not stimulated by interferons (non-ISGs). There are hundreds of ISGs known, and many, e.g., Mx, IFITMs, and TRIMs, have been characterized to restrict influenza virus infection at different stages of its lifecycle by (1) blocking viral entry or progeny release, (2) sequestering or degrading viral components and interfering with viral synthesis and assembly, or (3) bolstering host innate defenses. Also, many non-ISGs, e.g., cyclophilins, ncRNAs, and HDACs, have been identified and characterized to restrict influenza virus infection at different lifecycle stages by similar mechanisms. This review provides an overview of those ISGs and non-ISGs and how the influenza virus escapes the restriction imposed by them and aims to improve our understanding of the host restriction mechanisms of the influenza virus.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are among the most essential PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns). Animals have evolved numerous sensors to recognize nucleic acids and trigger immune signaling against pathogen replication, cellular stress and cancer. Many sensor proteins (e.g., cGAS, AIM2, and TLR9) recognize the molecular signature of infection or stress and are responsible for the innate immune response to DNA. Remarkably, recent evidence demonstrates that cGAS-like receptors acquire the ability to sense RNA in some forms of life. Compared with the nucleic-acid sensing by cGAS, innate immune responses to RNA are based on various RNA sensors, including RIG-I, MDA5, ADAR1, TLR3/7/8, OAS1, PKR, NLRP1/6, and ZBP1, via a broad-spectrum signaling axis. Importantly, new advances have brought to light the potential clinical application of targeting these signaling pathways. Here, we highlight the latest discoveries in the field. We also summarize the activation and regulatory mechanisms of RNA-sensing signaling. In addition, we discuss how RNA sensing is tightly controlled in cells and why the disruption of immune homeostasis is linked to disease.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the most circulated human pathogens, and influenza disease, commonly known as the flu, remains one of the most recurring and prevalent infectious human diseases globally. IAV continues to challenge existing vaccines and antiviral drugs via its ability to evolve constantly. It is critical to identify the molecular determinants of IAV pathogenesis to understand the basis of flu severity in different populations and design improved antiviral strategies. In recent years, acetylation has been identified as one of the determinants of IAV pathogenesis. Acetylation was originally discovered as an epigenetic protein modification of histones. But, it is now known to be one of the ubiquitous protein modifications of both histones and non-histone proteins and a determinant of proteome complexity. Since our first observation in 2007, significant progress has been made in understanding the role of acetylation during IAV infection. Now, it is becoming clearer that acetylation plays a pro-IAV function via at least three mechanisms: (1) by reducing the host's sensing of IAV infection, (2) by dampening the host's innate antiviral response against IAV, and (3) by aiding the stability and function of viral and host proteins during IAV infection. In turn, IAV antagonizes the host deacetylases, which erase acetylation, to facilitate its replication. This review provides an overview of the research progress made on this subject so far and outlines research prospects for the significance of IAV-acetylation interplay.

Abstract
Innate sensors initiate the production of type I interferons (IFN-I) and proinflammatory cytokines to protect host from viral infection. Several innate nuclear sensors that mainly induce IFN-I production have been identified. Whether there exist innate nuclear sensors that mainly induce proinflammatory cytokine production remains to be determined. By functional screening, we identify 40 S ribosomal protein SA (RPSA) as a nuclear protein that recognizes viral nucleic acids and predominantly promotes proinflammatory cytokine gene expression in antiviral innate immunity. Myeloid-specific Rpsa-deficient mice exhibit less innate inflammatory response against infection with Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and Influenza A virus (IAV), the viruses replicating in nucleus. Mechanistically, nucleus-localized RPSA is phosphorylated at Tyr204 upon infection, then recruits ISWI complex catalytic subunit SMARCA5 to increase chromatin accessibility of NF-κB to target gene promotors without affecting innate signaling. Our results add mechanistic insights to an intra-nuclear way of initiating proinflammatory cytokine expression in antiviral innate defense.

Abstract
SIRT2, a cytoplasmic member of the Sirtuin family, has important roles in immunity and inflammation. However, its function in regulating the response to DNA virus infection remains elusive. Here, we find that SIRT2 is a unique regulator among the Sirtuin family that negatively modulates the cGAS-STING-signaling pathway. SIRT2 is down-regulated after Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection, and SIRT2 deficiency markedly elevates the expression levels of type I interferon (IFN). SIRT2 inhibits the DNA binding ability and droplet formation of cGAS by interacting with and deacetylating G3BP1 at K257, K276, and K376, leading to the disassembly of the cGAS-G3BP1 complex, which is critical for cGAS activation. Administration of AGK2, a selective SIRT2 inhibitor, protects mice from HSV-1 infection and increases the expression of IFN and IFN-stimulated genes. Our study shows that SIRT2 negatively regulates cGAS activation through G3BP1 deacetylation, suggesting a potential antiviral strategy by modulating SIRT2 activity.

Abstract
In the family of histone-deacetylases, histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) stands out. The cytoplasmic class IIb histone deacetylase (HDAC) family is essential for many cellular functions. It plays a crucial and debatable regulatory role in innate antiviral immunity. This review summarises the current state of our understanding of HDAC6's structure and function in light of the three mechanisms by which it controls DNA and RNA virus infection: cytoskeleton regulation, host innate immune response, and autophagy degradation of host or viral proteins. In addition, we summed up how HDAC6 inhibitors are used to treat a wide range of diseases, and how its upstream signaling plays a role in the antiviral mechanism. Together, the findings of this review highlight HDAC6's importance as a new therapeutic target in antiviral immunity, innate immune response, and some diseases, all of which offer promising new avenues for the development of drugs targeting the immune response.

[PMID: 37133375 PMCID: PMC10231189 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00375-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging swine enteropathogenic coronavirus that has the potential to infect humans. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique type IIb cytoplasmic deacetylase with both deacetylase activity and ubiquitin E3 ligase activity, which mediates a variety of cellular processes by deacetylating histone and nonhistone substrates. In this study, we found that ectopic expression of HDAC6 significantly inhibited PDCoV replication, while the reverse effects could be observed after treatment with an HDAC6-specific inhibitor (tubacin) or knockdown of HDAC6 expression by specific small interfering RNA. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HDAC6 interacted with viral nonstructural protein 8 (nsp8) in the context of PDCoV infection, resulting in its proteasomal degradation, which was dependent on the deacetylation activity of HDAC6. We further identified the key amino acid residues lysine 46 (K46) and K58 of nsp8 as acetylation and ubiquitination sites, respectively, which were required for HDAC6-mediated degradation. Through a PDCoV reverse genetics system, we confirmed that recombinant PDCoV with a mutation at either K46 or K58 exhibited resistance to the antiviral activity of HDAC6, thereby exhibiting higher replication compared with wild-type PDCoV. Collectively, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the function of HDAC6 in regulating PDCoV infection and provide new strategies for the development of anti-PDCoV drugs. IMPORTANCE As an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus with zoonotic potential, porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) has sparked tremendous attention. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a critical deacetylase with both deacetylase activity and ubiquitin E3 ligase activity and is extensively involved in many important physiological processes. However, little is known about the role of HDAC6 in the infection and pathogenesis of coronaviruses. Our present study demonstrates that HDAC6 targets PDCoV-encoded nonstructural protein 8 (nsp8) for proteasomal degradation through the deacetylation at the lysine 46 (K46) and the ubiquitination at K58, suppressing viral replication. Recombinant PDCoV with a mutation at K46 and/or K58 of nsp8 displayed resistance to the antiviral activity of HDAC6. Our work provides significant insights into the role of HDAC6 in regulating PDCoV infection, opening avenues for the development of novel anti-PDCoV drugs.

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
RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are intracellular pattern recognition receptors that detect viral or bacterial infection and induce host innate immune responses. The RLRs family comprises retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-I), melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) and laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) that have distinctive features. These receptors not only recognize RNA intermediates from viruses and bacteria, but also interact with endogenous RNA such as the mislocalized mitochondrial RNA, the aberrantly reactivated repetitive or transposable elements in the human genome. Evasion of RLRs-mediated immune response may lead to sustained infection, defective host immunity and carcinogenesis. Therapeutic targeting RLRs may not only provoke anti-infection effects, but also induce anticancer immunity or sensitize "immune-cold" tumors to immune checkpoint blockade. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of RLRs signaling and discuss the rationale for therapeutic targeting RLRs in cancer. We describe how RLRs can be activated by synthetic RNA, oncolytic viruses, viral mimicry and radio-chemotherapy, and how the RNA agonists of RLRs can be systemically delivered in vivo. The integration of RLRs agonism with RNA interference or CAR-T cells provides new dimensions that complement cancer immunotherapy. Moreover, we update the progress of recent clinical trials for cancer therapy involving RLRs activation and immune modulation. Further studies of the mechanisms underlying RLRs signaling will shed new light on the development of cancer therapeutics. Manipulation of RLRs signaling represents an opportunity for clinically relevant cancer therapy. Addressing the challenges in this field will help develop future generations of cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is defined as an injury resulting from a disturbance in the dynamic equilibrium of the redox environment due to the overproduction of active/radical oxygen exceeding the antioxidative ability of the body. This is a key step in the development of various diseases. Oxidative stress is modulated by different factors and events, including the modification of histones, which are the cores of nucleosomes. Histone modification includes acetylation and deacetylation of certain amino acid residues; this process is catalyzed by different enzymes. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique deacetylating protease that also catalyzes the deacetylation of different nonhistone substrates to regulate various physiologic processes. The intimate relationship between HDAC6 and oxidative stress has been demonstrated by different studies. The present paper aims to summarize the data obtained from a mechanistic study of HDAC6 and oxidative stress to guide further investigations on mechanistic characterization and drug development.

Abstract
The lysine deacetylase HDAC6 has unique structural and functional properties: It contains tandem catalytic domains that can deacetylate a variety of proteins and a zinc finger domain that binds ubiquitin. HDAC6 has been implicated in a variety of biological processes, normal or pathological, such as cellular motility, stress response, cancer, neurodegeneration, or viral infection. Due to this, HDAC6 is considered an attractive therapeutic target, and there is a major interest to identify small molecule inhibitors. To gain a mechanistic understanding of how HDAC6 impacts these different biological processes, there is a continued need to discover additional substrates as well as interacting proteins in different paradigms. One approach to achieve this is to perform HDAC6 immunoprecipitations to identify partner proteins. We describe here our optimized protocols to immunoprecipitate HDAC6 with the goal to identify or validate interacting proteins.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), through the repertoire of its substrate proteins, plays a critical role in human physiology, and an aberrant function of HDAC6 contributes to various pathophysiological conditions. HDAC6 is also known to be an anti-microbial host factor and has been implicated in restricting or clearing the infection of various human viral and bacterial pathogens. However, the state and the mechanisms of its antagonism in infected cells are not understood. Here, we demonstrate that influenza A virus (IAV) antagonises HDAC6 by recruiting both viral and host components. We found that HDAC6 mRNA expression, and consequently, the HDAC6 polypeptide expression is downregulated in human lung epithelial cells during early stage of IAV infection but can be rescued by depleting the expression of viral polymerase acidic (PA) protein, a subunit of IAV RNA polymerase. In addition, during later stage of the infection, the HDAC6 polypeptide undergoes caspase-mediated cleavage at two sites, generating two cleaved fragments. Both these fragments disappeared when the expression of caspase 3 was depleted in infected cells, whereas only second fragment disappeared when the expression of caspase 6 was depleted. But both fragments disappeared and the level of full-length HDAC6 polypeptide was rescued when the expression of PA was depleted in infected cells. Collectively, these data indicated that IAV antagonises the HDAC6 by decreasing its expression level in infected cells, both at mRNA and polypeptide level via PA gene, which has been implicated in auxiliary functions like degradation of host mRNA and induction of apoptosis.

Abstract
During viral infection, both host and viral proteins undergo post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, methylation, and acetylation, which play critical roles in viral replication, pathogenesis, and host antiviral responses. Protein acetylation is one of the most important PTMs and is catalyzed by a series of acetyltransferases that divert acetyl groups from acetylated molecules to specific amino acid residues of substrates, affecting chromatin structure, transcription, and signal transduction, thereby participating in the cell cycle as well as in metabolic and other cellular processes. Acetylation of host and viral proteins has emerging roles in the processes of virus adsorption, invasion, synthesis, assembly, and release as well as in host antiviral responses. Methods to study protein acetylation have been gradually optimized in recent decades, providing new opportunities to investigate acetylation during viral infection. This review summarizes the classification of protein acetylation and the standard methods used to map this modification, with an emphasis on viral and host protein acetylation during viral infection.

Abstract
Communication through cell-cell contacts and extracellular vesicles (EVs) enables immune cells to coordinate their responses against diverse types of pathogens. The function exerted by EVs in this context depends on the proteins and nucleic acids loaded into EVs, which elicit specific responses involved in the resolution of infection. Several mechanisms control protein and nucleic acid loading into EVs; in this regard, acetylation has been described as a mechanism of cellular retention during protein sorting to exosomes. HDAC6 is a deacetylase involved in the control of cytoskeleton trafficking, organelle polarity and cell migration, defense against Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection and other immune related functions. Here, we show that the protein content of dendritic cells (DCs) and their secreted EVs (DEVs) vary during Lm infection, is enriched in proteins related to antiviral functions compared to non-infected cells and depends on HDAC6 expression. Analyses of the post-translational modifications revealed an alteration of the acetylation and ubiquitination profiles upon Lm infection both in DC lysates and DEVs. Functionally, EVs derived from infected DCs upregulate anti-pathogenic genes (e.g. inflammatory cytokines) in recipient immature DCs, which translated into protection from subsequent infection with vaccinia virus. Interestingly, absence of Listeriolysin O in Lm prevents DEVs from inducing this anti-viral state. In summary, these data underscore a new mechanism of communication between bacteria-infected DC during infection as they alert neighboring, uninfected DCs to promote antiviral responses.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a recently discovered post-translation modification involved in transcription regulation, cell signal transduction, and other processes. Scientists have identified several crotonylases and decrotonylases of histones, including P300/CBP, HDACs, and SIRTs. However, the regulation of non-histone protein crotonylation remains unclear. In the current study, we verified that crotonylation was upregulated in hypoxia and promoted liver cancer cell growth. We performed TMT-labeled quantitative lysine crotonylome analysis in 12 pairs of hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent liver tissue and identified 3,793 lysine crotonylation sites in 1,428 proteins. We showed that crotonylation of lamin A at the site of K265/270 maintains its subcellular position, promotes liver cancer cell proliferation, and prevents cellular senescence. Our data indicate that HDAC6 is the decrotonylase of lamin A and downregulated in response to hypoxia, resulting in lamin A K265/270cr. Taken together, our study reveals the lamin A crotonylation in liver cancer progression and fills the research gap in non-histone protein crotonylation function.

Abstract
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), which are pivotal sensors of RNA virus invasions, mediate the transcriptional induction of genes encoding type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines, successfully establishing host antiviral immune response. A few excellent reviews have elaborated on the structural biology of RLRs and the antiviral mechanisms of RLR activation. In this review, we give a basic understanding of RLR biology and summarize recent findings of how RLR signaling cascade is strictly controlled by host regulatory mechanisms, which include RLR-interacting proteins, post-translational modifications and microRNAs (miRNAs). Furthermore, we pay particular attention to the relationship between RLRs and diseases, especially how RLRs participate in SARS-CoV-2, malaria or bacterial infections, how single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or mutations in RLRs and antibodies against RLRs lead to autoinflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases, and how RLRs are involved in anti-tumor immunity. These findings will provide insights and guidance for antiviral and immunomodulatory therapies targeting RLRs.

Abstract
As one of the Mex3 family members, Mex3A is crucial in cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in mammals. In this study, a novel gene homologous to mammalian Mex3A (named CiMex3A, MW368974) was cloned and identified in grass carp, which is 1,521 bp in length encoding a putative polypeptide of 506 amino acids. In CIK cells, CiMex3A is upregulated after stimulation with LPS, Z-DNA, and especially with intracellular poly(I:C). CiMex3A overexpression reduces the expressions of IFN1, ISG15, and pro-inflammatory factors IL8 and TNFα; likewise, Mex3A inhibits IRF3 phosphorylation upon treatment with poly(I:C). A screening test to identify potential targets suggested that CiMex3A interacts with RIG-I exclusively. Co-localization analysis showed that Mex3A and RIG-I are simultaneously located in the endoplasmic reticulum, while they rarely appear in the endosome, mitochondria, or lysosome after exposure to poly(I:C). However, RIG-I is mainly located in the early endosome and then transferred to the late endosome following stimulation with poly(I:C). Moreover, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying CiMex3A-mediated suppression of RIG-I ubiquitination. The results demonstrated that Mex3A truncation mutant (deletion in the RING domain) can still interact physically with RIG-I, but fail to degrade it, suggesting that Mex3A also acts as a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. Taken together, this study showed that grass carp Mex3A can interact with RIG-I in the endoplasmic reticulum following poly(I:C) stimulation, and then Mex3A facilitates the ubiquitination and degradation of RIG-I to inhibit IRF3-mediated innate antiviral immune response.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:917998.

Abstract
Bi-directional transcription of Human Endogenous Retroviruses (hERVs) is a common feature of autoimmunity, neurodegeneration and cancer. Higher rates of cancer incidence, neurodegeneration and autoimmunity but a lower prevalence of autoimmune diseases characterize elderly people. Although the re-expression of hERVs is commonly observed in different cellular models of senescence as a result of the loss of their epigenetic transcriptional silencing, the hERVs modulation during aging is more complex, with a peak of activation in the sixties and a decline in the nineties. What is clearly accepted, instead, is the impact of the re-activation of dormant hERV on the maintenance of stemness and tissue self-renewing properties. An innate cellular immunity system, based on the RLR-MAVS circuit, controls the degradation of dsRNAs arising from the transcription of hERV elements, similarly to what happens for the accumulation of cytoplasmic DNA leading to the activation of cGAS/STING pathway. While agonists and inhibitors of the cGAS-STING pathway are considered promising immunomodulatory molecules, the effect of the RLR-MAVS pathway on innate immunity is still largely based on correlations and not on causality. Here we review the most recent evidence regarding the activation of MDA5-RIG1-MAVS pathway as a result of hERV de-repression during aging, immunosenescence, cancer and autoimmunity. We will also deal with the epigenetic mechanisms controlling hERV repression and with the strategies that can be adopted to modulate hERV expression in a therapeutic perspective. Finally, we will discuss if the RLR-MAVS signalling pathway actively modulates physiological and pathological conditions or if it is passively activated by them.

Abstract
The innate immune response is the first-line host defense against pathogens. Cytosolic nucleic acids, including both DNA and RNA, represent a special type of danger signal to initiate an innate immune response. Activation of cytosolic nucleic acid sensors is tightly controlled in order to achieve the high sensitivity needed to combat infection while simultaneously preventing false activation that leads to pathologic inflammatory diseases. In this review, we focus on post-translational modifications of key cytosolic nucleic acid sensors that can reversibly or irreversibly control these sensor functions. We will describe phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, neddylation, acetylation, methylation, succinylation, glutamylation, amidation, palmitoylation, and oxidation modifications events (including modified residues, modifying enzymes, and modification function). Together, these post-translational regulatory modifications on key cytosolic DNA/RNA sensing pathway members reveal a complicated yet elegantly controlled multilayer regulator network to govern innate immune activation.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a deacetylase of p53, has emerged as a privileged inhibitory target for cancer therapy because of its deacetylating activity for p53 at K120 and K373/382. However, intricate roles of HDAC6 in hepatocellular carcinogenesis have been suggested by recent evidence, namely that HDAC6 ablation suppresses innate immunity, which plays critical roles in tumor immunosurveillance and antitumor immune responses. Therefore, it is valuable to determine whether HDAC6 ablation inhibits hepatocellular carcinogenesis using in vivo animal models. Here, we firstly showed that HDAC6 ablation increased K320 acetylation of p53, known as pro‐survival acetylation, in all tested animal models but did not always increase K120 and K373/382 acetylation of p53, known as pro‐apoptotic acetylation. HDAC6 ablation induced cellular senescence in primary MEFs and inhibited cell proliferation in HepG2 cells and liver regeneration after two‐thirds partial hepatectomy. However, the genetic ablation of HDAC6 did not inhibit hepatocarcinogenesis, but instead slightly enhanced it in two independent mouse models (DEN + HFD and DEN + TAA). Notably, HDAC6 ablation significantly promoted hepatocarcinogenesis in a multiple DEN treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mouse model, mimicking chronic DNA damage in the liver, which correlated with hyperacetylation at K320 of p53 and a decrease in inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our data from three independent in vivo animal HCC models emphasize the importance of the complex roles of HDAC6 ablation in hepatocellular carcinogenesis, highlighting its immunosuppressive effects. We provide the first evidence that HDAC6 is a p53 deacetylase at K320, which is especially important for cancer cell survival in chronic DNA damage conditions. Contrary to the general assumption that HDAC6 inhibition leads to hyperacetylation of p53 at K120, resulting in tumor suppression, our findings from in vivo animal HCC modelsemphasize the importance of the opposing roles of HDAC6 ablation in hepatocellular carcinogenesis by highlighting the K320 acetylation of p53 and immunosuppressive effects.

Abstract
The deacetylase HDAC6 has tandem catalytic domains and a zinc finger domain (ZnF) binding ubiquitin (Ub). While the catalytic domain has an antiviral effect, the ZnF facilitates influenza A virus (IAV) infection and cellular stress responses. By recruiting Ub via the ZnF, HDAC6 promotes the formation of aggresomes and stress granules (SGs), dynamic structures associated with pathologies such as neurodegeneration. IAV subverts the aggresome/HDAC6 pathway to facilitate capsid uncoating during early infection. To target this pathway, we generate designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) binding the ZnF; one of these prevents interaction with Ub in vitro and in cells. Crystallographic analysis shows that it blocks the ZnF pocket where Ub engages. Conditional expression of this DARPin reversibly impairs infection by IAV and Zika virus; moreover, SGs and aggresomes are downregulated. These results validate the HDAC6 ZnF as an attractive target for drug discovery. A small synthetic protein (DARPin) blocks interaction between HDAC6 and ubiquitin This DARPin impairs infection by influenza and Zika virus at the uncoating step Both viruses contain ubiquitin associated with their capsid The DARPin also impacts the formation of aggresomes and stress granules

Hou S, Wang X, Ren S, Meng X, Yin X, Zhang J, Tarasiuk K, Pejsak Z, Jiang T, Mao R, Zhang Y, Sun Y. Knockout of HDAC9 Gene Enhances Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:805606. [PMID: 35250927 PMCID: PMC8894894 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.805606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious viral disease that mainly infects cloven-hoofed animals. Propagation of FMDV by cell culture is an important method to preserve viral biological and antigenic characteristics, which is crucial in FMD monitoring and vaccine production. However, only a few cell lines are sensitive to FMDV, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Acetylation is an important post-translational modification, which is dynamically regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). However, the study of the relationship between FMDV and HDACs is still unclear. HDAC9 belongs to the class II of HDACs family; in this study, HDAC9 knockout (KO) BHK-21 cells were successfully established using CRISPR/cas9 technology. The results of karyotype analysis, growth curve analysis, and morphological observation showed that the HDAC9 knockout cell line was stable in growth and morphological characteristics. After infection with FMDV, the expression of viral RNA and protein, viral titers, and the copies of viral RNA in HDAC9-KO cells were significantly higher than those in NC cells. Meanwhile, RNA-seq technology was used to sequence HDAC9-KO cells and NC cells infected and uninfected with FMDV. It was found that the differentially expressed innate immune factors containing NFKBIA, SOD2, IL2RG, BCL2L1, CXCL1/2/3, and IL1RAP have significantly enriched in the Jak-STAT, NOD-like receptor, Toll-like receptor, NF-κB, and MAPK signaling pathway. RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression level of differentially expressed genes and showed consistency with the RNA-seq data. These results preliminarily reveal the role of HDAC9 in host antiviral innate immune response, and the HDAC9-KO cell line could also serve as a useful tool for FMDV research.

Abstract
Enhancing the immune microenvironment in cancer by targeting the nucleic acid sensors is becoming a potent therapeutic strategy. Among the nucleic acid sensors, activation of the RNA sensor Retinoic Acid-inducible Gene (RIG-I) using small hairpin RNAs has been shown to elicit powerful innate and adaptive immune responses. Given the challenges inherent in pharmacokinetics and delivery of RNA based agonists, we set out to discover small molecule agonists of RIG-I using a cell-based assay. To this end, we established and validated a robust high throughput screening assay based on a commercially available HEK293 reporter cell line with a luciferase reporter downstream of tandem interferon stimulated gene 54 (ISG54) promoter elements. We first confirmed that the luminescence in this cell line is dependent on RIG-I and the interferon receptor using a hairpin RNA RIG-I agonist. We established a 96-well and a 384-well format HTS based on this cell line and performed a proof-of-concept screen using an FDA approved drug library of 1,200 compounds. Surprisingly, we found two HDAC inhibitors Entinostat, Mocetinostat and the PLK1 inhibitor Volasertib significantly enhanced ISG-luciferase activity. This luminescence was substantially diminished in the null reporter cell line indicating the increase in signaling was dependent on RIG-I expression. Combination treatment of tumor cell lines with Entinostat increased RIG-I induced cell death in a mammary carcinoma cell line that is resistant to either Entinostat or RIG-I agonist alone. Taken together, our data indicates an unexpected role for HDAC1,-3 inhibitors in enhancing RIG-I signaling and highlight potential opportunities for therapeutic combinations.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases play important biological roles well beyond the deacetylation of histone tails. In particular, HDAC6 is involved in multiple cellular processes such as apoptosis, cytoskeleton reorganization, and protein folding, affecting substrates such as ɑ-tubulin, Hsp90 and cortactin proteins. We have applied a biochemical enzymatic assay to measure the activity of HDAC6 on a set of candidate unlabeled peptides. These served for the calibration of a structure-based substrate prediction protocol, Rosetta FlexPepBind, previously used for the successful substrate prediction of HDAC8 and other enzymes. A proteome-wide screen of reported acetylation sites using our calibrated protocol together with the enzymatic assay provide new peptide substrates and avenues to novel potential functional regulatory roles of this promiscuous, multi-faceted enzyme. In particular, we propose novel regulatory roles of HDAC6 in tumorigenesis and cancer cell survival via the regulation of EGFR/Akt pathway activation. The calibration process and comparison of the results between HDAC6 and HDAC8 highlight structural differences that explain the established promiscuity of HDAC6.

Abstract
Influenza is a zoonotic respiratory disease of major public health interest due to its pandemic potential, and a threat to animals and the human population. The influenza A virus genome consists of eight single-stranded RNA segments sequestered within a protein capsid and a lipid bilayer envelope. During host cell entry, cellular cues contribute to viral conformational changes that promote critical events such as fusion with late endosomes, capsid uncoating and viral genome release into the cytosol. In this focused review, we concisely describe the virus infection cycle and highlight the recent findings of host cell pathways and cytosolic proteins that assist influenza uncoating during host cell entry.

Abstract
Innate immunity is the first defense line of the host against various infectious pathogens, environmental insults, and other stimuli causing cell damages. Upon stimulation, pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) act as sensors to activate innate immune responses, containing NF-κB signaling, IFN response, and inflammasome activation. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptors (RLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs), and other nucleic acid sensors are involved in innate immune responses. The activation of innate immune responses can facilitate the host to eliminate pathogens and maintain tissue homeostasis. However, the activity of innate immune responses needs to be tightly controlled to ensure the optimal intensity and duration of activation under various contexts. Uncontrolled innate immune responses can lead to various disorders associated with aberrant inflammatory response, including pulmonary diseases such as COPD, asthma, and COVID-19. In this chapter, we will have a broad overview of how innate immune responses function and the regulation and activation of innate immune response at molecular levels as well as their contribution to various pulmonary diseases. A better understanding of such association between innate immune responses and pulmonary diseases may provide potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) are RNA sensor molecules that play essential roles in innate antiviral immunity. Among the three RLRs encoded by the human genome, RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, which contain N-terminal caspase recruitment domains, are activated upon the detection of viral RNAs in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells. Activated RLRs induce downstream signaling via their interactions with mitochondrial antiviral signaling proteins and activate the production of type I and III interferons and inflammatory cytokines. Recent studies have shown that RLR-mediated signaling is regulated by interactions with endogenous RNAs and host proteins, such as those involved in stress responses and posttranslational modifications. Since RLR-mediated cytokine production is also involved in the regulation of acquired immunity, the deregulation of RLR-mediated signaling is associated with autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. Moreover, RLR-mediated signaling might be involved in the aberrant cytokine production observed in coronavirus disease 2019. Since the discovery of RLRs in 2004, significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms underlying the activation and regulation of RLR-mediated signaling pathways. Here, we review the recent advances in the understanding of regulated RNA recognition and signal activation by RLRs, focusing on the interactions between various host and viral factors.

Abstract
Viral dysregulation or suppression of innate immune responses is a key determinant of virus-induced pathogenesis. Important sensors for the detection of virus infection are the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), which, in turn, are antagonized by many RNA viruses and DNA viruses. Among the different escape strategies are viral mechanisms to dysregulate the post-translational modifications (PTMs) that play pivotal roles in RLR regulation. In this review, we present the current knowledge of immune evasion by viral pathogens that manipulate ubiquitin- or ISG15-dependent mechanisms of RLR activation. Key viral strategies to evade RLR signaling include direct targeting of ubiquitin E3 ligases, active deubiquitination using viral deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), and the upregulation of cellular DUBs that regulate RLR signaling. Additionally, we summarize emerging new evidence that shows that enzymes of certain coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the current COVID-19 pandemic, actively deISGylate key molecules in the RLR pathway to escape type I interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses. Finally, we discuss the possibility of targeting virally-encoded proteins that manipulate ubiquitin- or ISG15-mediated innate immune responses for the development of new antivirals and vaccines.

Abstract
Living host system possess mechanisms like innate immune system to combat against inflammation, stress singling, and cancer. These mechanisms are initiated by PAMP and DAMP mediated recognition by PRR. PRR is consist of variety of nucleic acid sensors like-RNA sensors. They play crucial role in identifying exogenous and endogenous RNA molecules, which subsequently mediate pro/inflammatory cytokine, IFN and ISGs response in traumatized or tumorigenic conditions. The sensors can sensitize wide range of nucleic acid particle in term of size and structure, while each category sensors belongs subclasses with differentially expressed in cell and distinguished functioning mechanisms. They are also able to make comparison between self and non-self-nucleic acid molecules through specific mechanisms. Besides exhibiting anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic responses, RNA sensors cover the broad spectrum of response mechanisms. Transcriptionally RNA sensors undergo with tight epigenetic regulations. In this review study, we will be going to discuss about the details of RNA sensors, their functional mechanisms and epi-transactional regulations.

Abstract
Stress granules are dynamic structures that assemble in response to various forms of stress, such as heat shock or oxidative stress, among others. We had previously shown that the lysine deacetylase HDAC6 is required for the formation of stress granules, but the substrate important for this function was not known. We recently found that the RNA helicase DDX3X is a novel HDAC6 substrate, which is critical for the formation of stress granules. Through a series of detailed experiments, we showed that, upon stress, DDX3X becomes acetylated in an intrinsically disordered region; this alters its propensity to undergo phase separation and inhibits growth of the stress granules. HDAC6, by deacetylating DDX3X, allows maturation of the stress granules. This work identified acetylation of an RNA helicase as a critical regulator of the stress response. Here, we present methods to analyze the acetylation of DDX3X; these methods can be easily adapted to study the acetylation of other helicases, or other proteins.

Abstract
Being opportunistic intracellular pathogens, viruses are dependent on the host for their replication. They hijack host cellular machinery for their replication and survival by targeting crucial cellular physiological pathways, including transcription, translation, immune pathways, and apoptosis. Immediately after translation, the host and viral proteins undergo a process called post-translational modification (PTM). PTMs of proteins involves the attachment of small proteins, carbohydrates/lipids, or chemical groups to the proteins and are crucial for the proteins’ functioning. During viral infection, host proteins utilize PTMs to control the virus replication, using strategies like activating immune response pathways, inhibiting viral protein synthesis, and ultimately eliminating the virus from the host. PTM of viral proteins increases solubility, enhances antigenicity and virulence properties. However, RNA viruses are devoid of enzymes capable of introducing PTMs to their proteins. Hence, they utilize the host PTM machinery to promote their survival. Proteins from viruses belonging to the family: Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, Retroviridae, and Coronaviridae such as chikungunya, dengue, zika, HIV, and coronavirus are a few that are well-known to be modified. This review discusses various host and virus-mediated PTMs that play a role in the outcome during the infection.

Abstract
Influenza virus causes an acute febrile respiratory disease in humans that is commonly known as 'flu'. Influenza virus has been around for centuries and is one of the most successful, and consequently most studied human viruses. This has generated tremendous amount of data and information, thus it is pertinent to summarise these for, particularly interdisciplinary readers. Viruses are acellular organisms and exist at the interface of living and non-living. Due to this unique characteristic, viruses require another organism, i.e. host to survive. Viruses multiply inside the host cell and are obligate intracellular pathogens, because their relationship with the host is almost always harmful to host. In mammalian cells, the life cycle of a virus, including influenza is divided into five main steps: attachment, entry, synthesis, assembly and release. To complete these steps, some viruses, e.g. influenza utilise all three parts - plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus, of the cell; whereas others, e.g. SARS-CoV-2 utilise only plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Hence, viruses interact with numerous host factors to complete their life cycle, and these interactions are either exploitative or antagonistic in nature. The host factors involved in the life cycle of a virus could be divided in two broad categories - proviral and antiviral. This perspective has endeavoured to assimilate the information about the host factors which promote and suppress influenza virus infection. Furthermore, an insight into host factors that play a dual role during infection or contribute to influenza virus-host adaptation and disease severity has also been provided.

Abstract
The adaptor proteins, STING and MAVS, are components of critical pathogen-sensing pathways that induce innate immunity. Phosphorylation of either adaptor results in activation of the type I interferon pathway. How this phosphorylation is regulated and how it is manipulated by pathogens remain largely unknown. Here, we identified host protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1G (PPM1G) as a negative regulator of innate immune pathways and showed that this host system is hijacked by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Mechanistically, KSHV tegument protein ORF33 interacts with STING/MAVS and enhances recruitment of PPM1G to dephosphorylate p-STING/p-MAVS for immunosuppression. Inhibition of PPM1G expression improves the antiviral response against both DNA and RNA viruses. Collectively, our study shows that PPM1G restricts both cytosolic DNA- and RNA-sensing pathways to naturally balance the intensity of the antiviral response. Manipulation of PPM1G by KSHV provides an important strategy for immune evasion.

Cytosolic Sensors for Pathogenic Viral and Bacterial Nucleic Acids in Fish. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21197289.

Abstract
Recognition of the non-self signature of invading pathogens is a crucial step for the initiation of the innate immune mechanisms of the host. The host response to viral and bacterial infection involves sets of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which bind evolutionarily conserved pathogen structures, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Recent advances in the identification of different types of PRRs in teleost fish revealed a number of cytosolic sensors for recognition of viral and bacterial nucleic acids. These are DExD/H-box RNA helicases including a group of well-characterized retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) and non-RLR DExD/H-box RNA helicases (e.g., DDX1, DDX3, DHX9, DDX21, DHX36 and DDX41) both involved in recognition of viral RNAs. Another group of PRRs includes cytosolic DNA sensors (CDSs), such as cGAS and LSm14A involved in recognition of viral and intracellular bacterial dsDNAs. Moreover, dsRNA-sensing protein kinase R (PKR), which has a role in antiviral immune responses in higher vertebrates, has been identified in fish. Additionally, fish possess a novel PKR-like protein kinase containing Z-DNA binding domain, known as PKZ. Here, we review the current knowledge concerning cytosolic sensors for recognition of viral and bacterial nucleic acids in teleosts.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) are the major pathogens responsible for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), but the mechanism by which these viruses cause disease remains unclear. In this study, we used transcriptome sequencing technology to investigate changes in the transcriptome profiles after infection with EV-A71 and CV-A16 in human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells. Using systematic bioinformatics analysis, we then searched for useful clues regarding the pathogenesis of HFMD. As a result, a total of 111 common differentially expressed genes were present in both EV-A71- and CV-A16-infected cells. A trend analysis of these 111 genes showed that 91 of them displayed the same trend in EV-A71 and CV-A16 infection, including 49 upregulated genes and 42 downregulated genes. These 91 genes were further used to conduct GO, pathway, and coexpression network analysis. It was discovered that enriched GO terms (such as histone acetylation and positive regulation of phosphorylation) and pathways (such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis and DNA replication) might be closely associated with the pathogenic mechanism of these two viruses, and key genes (such as TBCK and GPC) might be involved in the progression of HFMD. Finally, we randomly selected 10 differentially expressed genes for qRT-PCR to validate the transcriptome sequencing data. The experimental qRT-PCR results were roughly in agreement with the results of transcriptome sequencing. Collectively, our results provide clues to the mechanism of pathogenesis of HFMD induced by EV-A71 and CV-A16.

Abstract
Genetic mutations and abnormal gene regulation are key mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis. Nucleosomes, which consist of DNA wrapped around histone cores, represent the basic units of chromatin. The fifth amino group (Nε) of histone lysine residues is a common site for post-translational modifications (PTMs), and of these, acetylation is the second most common. Histone acetylation is modulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs), and is involved in the regulation of gene expression. Over the past two decades, numerous studies characterizing HDACs and HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) have provided novel and exciting insights concerning their underlying biological mechanisms and potential anti-cancer treatments. In this review, we detail the diverse structures of HDACs and their underlying biological functions, including transcriptional regulation, metabolism, angiogenesis, DNA damage response, cell cycle, apoptosis, protein degradation, immunity and other several physiological processes. We also highlight potential avenues to use HDACi as novel, precision cancer treatments.

Abstract
Influenza is an annual epidemic and an occasional pandemic caused by pathogens that are responsible for infectious respiratory disease. Humans are highly susceptible to the infection mediated by influenza A viruses (IAV). The entry of the virus is mediated by the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein that binds to the cellular sialic acid receptors and facilitates the fusion of the viral membrane with the endosomal membrane. During IAV infection, virus-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are recognized by host intracellular specific sensors including toll-like receptors (TLRs), C-type lectin receptors, retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) either on the cell surface or intracellularly in endosomes. Herein, we comprehensively review the current knowledge available on the entry of the influenza virus into host cells and the molecular details of the influenza virus–host interface. We also highlight certain strategies for the development of universal influenza vaccines.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a posttranslational modification that occurs on thousands of human proteins, most of which are cytoplasmic. Acetylated proteins are involved in numerous cellular processes and human diseases. Therefore, how the acetylation/deacetylation cycle is regulated is an important question. Eleven metal-dependent lysine deacetylases (KDACs) have been identified in human cells. These enzymes, along with the sirtuins, are collectively responsible for reversing lysine acetylation. Despite several large-scale studies which have characterized the acetylome, relatively few of the specific acetylated residues have been matched to a proposed KDAC for deacetylation. To understand the function of lysine acetylation, and its association with diseases, specific KDAC-substrate pairs must be identified. Identifying specific substrates of a KDAC is complicated both by the complexity of assaying relevant activity and by the non-catalytic interactions of KDACs with cellular proteins. Here, we discuss in vitro and cell-based experimental strategies used to identify KDAC-substrate pairs and evaluate each for the purpose of directly identifying non-histone substrates of metal-dependent KDACs. We propose criteria for a combination of reproducible experimental approaches that are necessary to establish a direct enzymatic relationship. This critical analysis of the literature identifies 108 proposed non-histone substrate-KDAC pairs for which direct experimental evidence has been reported. Of these, five pairs can be considered well-established, while another thirteen pairs have both cell-based and in vitro evidence but lack independent replication and/or sufficient cell-based evidence. We present a path forward for evaluating the remaining substrate leads and reliably identifying novel KDAC substrates.

Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21) is a cytosolic antibody receptor that targets the internalized virus-antibody complex to the proteasome for degradation. However, the precise mechanism regulating TRIM21 activity is unknown. Here we show that TRIM21 is a substrate of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and that its function is regulated by acetylation. HDAC6 interacts with TRIM21 through its PRYSPRY motif and deacetylates TRIM21 at lysine 385 and lysine 387, thus promoting its homodimerization. Inhibiting HDAC6 activity increases TRIM21 acetylation, and hyperacetylation blocks TRIM21 dimerization and ubiquitination, preventing its binding to the virus-antibody complex and its degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. HDAC6 depletion or inhibition increases virus accumulation in cells, indicative of an impaired capacity for antibody-dependent intracellular neutralization of viruses, whereas TRIM21 acetylation-deficient K385/387R mutant rescues HDAC6 depletion-caused ADIN impairment. These findings provide evidence for HDAC6 as a novel regulator of TRIM21-mediated intracellular innate immunity.

Abstract
Macrophages are derived from monocytes in the bone marrow and play an important role in anti-viral innate immune responses. Macrophages produce cytokines such as interferons and IL-10 upon viral infection to modulate anti-viral immune responses. Type I interferons (IFNs) promote anti-viral defense. IL-10 is a suppressor cytokine that down-regulates anti-viral immune responses. HDAC6 is a tubulin deacetylase that can modulate microtubule dynamics and microtubule-mediated cell signaling pathways. In the present study, we investigated the potential role of HDAC6 in macrophage anti-viral responses by examining poly (I:C)-induced IFN-β and IL-10 production in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). We also investigated the role of HDAC6 in poly (I:C)-induced anti-viral signaling such as TBK1, GSK-3β, and Akt activation in mouse BMDMs. Our data showed that HDAC6 deletion enhanced poly (I:C)-induced INF-β expression in macrophages by up-regulating TBK1 activity and eliminating the inhibitory regulation of GSK-3β. Furthermore, HDAC6 deletion inhibited poly (I:C)-induced suppressor cytokine IL-10 production in the BMDMs, which was associated with the inhibition of Akt activation. Our results suggest that HDAC6 modulates IFN-β and IL-10 production in macrophages through its regulation of TBK1, GSK-3β, and Akt signaling. HDAC6 could act as a suppressor of anti-viral innate immune responses in macrophages.

Abstract
Protein modification by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is an important regulatory mechanism for multiple cellular processes. Although the canonical pathway involving the ubiquitylation or phosphorylation of IκBα has been well characterized, little is known about the sumoylation of IκBα in the control of NF-κB activity. Here, we find that histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) negatively regulates tumor necrosis factor-alpha- or lipopolysaccharide-triggered NF-κB activation. HDAC4 belongs to the SUMO E3 ligase family and can directly sumoylate IκBα. The cytoplasm location of HDAC4 is essential for IκBα sumoylation. The Cys292 of HDAC4 is a key site for its SUMO E3 ligase activity. The sumoylation of IκBα prevents its polyubiquitination and degradation because these two modifications occur both at the Lys21. Our findings reveal a previously undiscovered role for HDAC4 in the inflammatory response as a SUMO E3 ligase for IκBα sumoylation. Our work provides insight into mechanisms ensuring optimal mediation of the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Faithful maintenance of immune homeostasis relies on the capacity of the cellular immune surveillance machinery to recognize "nonself", such as the presence of pathogenic RNA. Several families of pattern-recognition receptors exist that detect immunostimulatory RNA and then induce cytokine-mediated antiviral and proinflammatory responses. Here, we review the distinct features of bona fide RNA sensors, Toll-like receptors and retinoic-acid inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors in particular, with a focus on their functional specificity imposed by cell-type-dependent expression, subcellular localization, and ligand preference. Furthermore, we highlight recent advances on the roles of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors and DEAD-box or DEAH-box RNA helicases in an orchestrated RNA-sensing network and also discuss the relevance of RNA sensor polymorphisms in human disease.

Histone Deacetylase 6 Knockout Mice Exhibit Higher Susceptibility to Influenza A Virus Infection. Viruses 2020; 12:v12070728.

Abstract
The host innate defence against influenza virus infection is an intricate system with a plethora of antiviral factors involved. We have identified host histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) as an anti-influenza virus factor in cultured cells. Consistent with this, we report herein that HDAC6 knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to influenza virus A/PR/8/1934 (H1N1) infection than their wild type (WT) counterparts. The KO mice lost weight faster than the WT mice and, unlike WT mice, could not recover their original body weight. Consequently, more KO mice succumbed to infection, which corresponded with higher lung viral loads. Conversely, the expression of the critical innate antiviral response genes interferon alpha/beta, CD80, CXCL10 and IL15 was significantly downregulated in KO mouse lungs compared to WT mouse lungs. These data are consistent with the known function of HDAC6 of de-acetylating the retinoic acid inducible gene-I (RIG-I) and activating the host innate antiviral response cascade. Loss of HDAC6 thus leads to a blunted innate response and increased susceptibility of mice to influenza A virus infection.
