Abstract
Snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV) is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus that infects snakehead fish. This virus leads to illness and mortality, causing significant economic losses in the snakehead aquaculture industry. The replication and spread of SHVV in cells, which requires glutamine as a nitrogen source, is accompanied by alterations in intracellular metabolites. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying the inhibition of viral replication by glutamine deficiency are poorly understood. This study utilized liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to measure the differential metabolites between the channel catfish Parasilurus asotus ovary cell line infected with SHVV under glutamine-containing and glutamine-deprived conditions. Results showed that the absence of glutamine regulated 4 distinct metabolic pathways and influenced 9 differential metabolites. The differential metabolites PS(16:0/16:0), 5,10-methylene-THF, and PS(18:0/18:1(9Z)) were involved in amino acid metabolism. In the nuclear metabolism functional pathway, differential metabolites of guanosine were observed. In the carbohydrate metabolism pathway, differential metabolites of UDP-d-galacturonate were detected. In the signal transduction pathway, differential metabolites of SM(d18:1/20:0), SM(d18:1/22:1(13Z)), SM(d18:1/24:1(15 Z)), and sphinganine were found. Among them, PS(18:0/18:1(9Z)), PS(16:0/16:0), and UDP-d-galacturonate were involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylserine and glycoprotein. The compound 5,10-methylene-THF provided raw materials for virus replication, and guanosine and sphingosine are related to virus virulence. The differential metabolites may collectively participate in the replication, packaging, and proliferation of SHVV under glutamine deficiency. This study provides new insights and potential metabolic targets for combating SHVV infection in aquaculture through metabolomics approaches.

Abstract
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that alter host metabolic machinery to obtain energy and macromolecules that are pivotal for replication. Ranavirus, including the type species of the genus frog virus 3 (FV3), represent an ecologically important group of viruses that infect fish, amphibians, and reptiles. It was established that fatty acid synthesis, glucose, and glutamine metabolism exert roles during iridovirus infections; however, no information exists regarding the role of purine metabolism. In this study, we assessed the impact of exogenously applied purines adenine, adenosine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP), inosine, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH), and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) on FV3 replication. We found that all compounds except for SAH increased FV3 replication in a dose-dependent manner. Of the purines investigated, adenine and adenosine produced the most robust response, increasing FV3 replication by 58% and 51%, respectively. While all compounds except SAH increased FV3 replication, only adenine increased plaque area. This suggests that the stimulatory effect of adenine on FV3 replication is mediated by a mechanism that is at least in part independent from the other compounds investigated. Our results are the first to report a response to exogenously applied purines and may provide insight into the importance of purine metabolism during iridoviral infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Analysis of the glutamine metabolic pathway has taken a special place in metabolomics research in recent years, given its important role in cell biosynthesis and bioenergetics across several disorders, especially in cancer cell survival. The science of metabolomics addresses the intricate intracellular metabolic network by exploring and understanding how cells function and respond to external or internal perturbations to identify potential therapeutic targets. However, despite recent advances in metabolomics, monitoring the kinetics of a metabolic pathway in a living cell in situ, real-time and holistically remains a significant challenge. AIM This review paper explores the range of analytical approaches for monitoring metabolic pathways, as well as physicochemical modeling techniques, with a focus on glutamine metabolism. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and explore the potential of label-free Raman microspectroscopy, in conjunction with kinetic modeling, to enable real-time and in situ monitoring of the cellular kinetics of the glutamine metabolic pathway. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS Given its important role in cell metabolism, the ability to monitor and model the glutamine metabolic pathways are highlighted. Novel, label free approaches have the potential to revolutionise metabolic biosensing, laying the foundation for a new paradigm in metabolomics research and addressing the challenges in monitoring metabolic pathways in living cells.

Abstract
Viruses are non-living organisms that rely on host cellular metabolism to complete their life cycle. Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) has caused huge economic losses to the Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) industry worldwide. SCRV replication is dependent on the cellular glutamine metabolism, while aspartate metabolism plays an important role in viral proliferation in glutamine deficiency. Herein, we investigated roles of asparagine metabolism in SCRV proliferation. Results showed that SCRV infection upregulated the expression of key enzymes in the aspartate metabolic pathway in CPB cells. And the key enzymes of malate-aspartic acid shuttle pathway upregulated during the virus invasion phase, and key enzymes of the asparagine biosynthesis pathway upregulated during the viral replication and release phase. When asparagine was added to the depleted medium, the SCRV copy number restored to 90% of those in replete medium, showing that asparagine and glutamine completely rescue the replication of SCRV. Moreover, inhibition of the aspartate- malate shuttle pathway and knockdown of the expression of key enzymes in the asparagine biosynthesis pathway significantly reduced SCRV production, indicating that the aspartic acid metabolic pathway was required to the replication and proliferation of SCRV. Above results provided references for elucidating pathogenic mechanism of SCRV by regulation of aspartate metabolism.

Abstract
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), a member of the Iridoviridae family, is an important marine cultured fish pathogen worldwide. Our previous studies have demonstrated that lipid metabolism was essential for SGIV entry and replication, but the roles of glucose metabolism during SGIV infection still remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that the transcription levels of key enzymes involved in glycolysis were regulated in varying degrees during SGIV infection based on the transcriptomic analysis. Quantitative PCR and western blot analysis also indicated that the expression of both glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT2) and the enzymes of glucose metabolism (hexokinase 2, HK2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, PDHX) were upregulated during SGIV infection in vivo or in vitro, suggesting that glycolysis might be involved in SGIV infection. Exogenous glucose supplementation promoted the expression of viral genes and infectious virion production, while glutamine had no effect on SGIV infection, indicating that glucose was required for SGIV replication. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of glycolysis dramatically reduced the protein synthesis of SGIV major capsid protein (MCP) and infectious virion production, and promotion of glycolysis significantly increased SGIV infection. Furthermore, knockdown of HK2, PDHX, or GLUT1 by siRNA decreased the transcription and protein synthesis of SGIV MCP and suppressed viral replication, indicating that those enzymes exerted essential roles in SGIV replication. In addition, inhibition of mTOR activity in SGIV-infected cells effectively reduced the expression of glycolysis key enzymes, including HK2, PDHX, GLUT1, and GLUT2, and finally inhibited SGIV replication, suggesting that mTOR was involved in SGIV-induced glycolysis. Thus, our results not only provided new insights into the mechanism of how SGIV infection affects host cell glycolysis, but also contributed to further understanding of the iridovirus pathogenesis.

Abstract
p53, as an important tumor suppressor protein, has recently been implicated in host antiviral defense. The present study found that the expression of mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) p53 (Sc-p53) was negatively associated with infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) proliferation as well as the expression of glutaminase 1 (GLS1) and glutaminolysis pathway-related enzymes glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2). This indicated that Sc-p53 inhibited the replication and proliferation of ISKNV and SCRV by negatively regulating the glutaminolysis pathway. Moreover, it was confirmed that miR145-5p could inhibit c-Myc expression by targeting the 3′ untranslated region (UTR). Sc-p53 could bind to the miR145-5p promoter region to promote its expression and to further inhibit the expression of c-Myc. The expression of c-Myc was proved to be positively correlated with the expression of GLS1 as well. All these suggested a negative relationship between the Sc-p53/miR145-5p/c-Myc pathway and GLS1 expression and glutaminolysis. However, it was found that after ISKNV and SCRV infection, the expressions of Sc-p53, miR145-5p, c-Myc, and GLS1 were all significantly upregulated, which did not match the pattern in normal cells. Based on the results, it was suggested that ISKNV and SCRV infection altered the Sc-p53/miR145-5p/c-Myc pathway. All of above results will provide potential targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies against ISKNV and SCRV. IMPORTANCE Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) as major causative agents have caused a serious threat to the mandarin fish farming industry (J.-J. Tao, J.-F. Gui, and Q.-Y. Zhang, Aquaculture 262:1–9, 2007, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2006.09.030). Viruses have evolved the strategy to shape host-cell metabolism for their replication (S. K. Thaker, J. Ch’ng, and H. R. Christofk, BMC Biol 17:59, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-019-0678-9). Our previous studies showed that ISKNV replication induced glutamine metabolism reprogramming and that glutaminolysis was required for efficient replication of ISKNV and SCRV. In the present study, the mechanistic link between the p53/miR145-5p/c-Myc pathway and glutaminolysis in the Chinese perch brain (CPB) cells was provided, which will provide novel insights into ISKNV and SCRV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies.

Abstract
Under oxidative stress, viruses prefer glycolysis as an ATP source, and glutamine is required as an anaplerotic substrate to replenish the TCA cycle. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) induces reductive glutamine metabolism in the host cells. Here we report that ISKNV infection the increased NAD+/NADH ratio and the gene expression of glutaminase 1 (GLS1), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) resulted in the phosphorylation and activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in CPB cells. Inhibition of mTOR signaling attenuates ISKNV-induced the upregulation of GLS1, GDH, and IDH2 genes expression, and exhibits significant antiviral activity. Moreover, the expression of silent information regulation 2 homolog 3 (SIRT3) in mRNA level is increased to enhance the reductive glutamine metabolism in ISKNV-infected cells. And those were verified by the expression levels of metabolic genes and the activities of metabolic enzymes in SIRT3-overexpressed or SIRT3-knocked down cells. Remarkably, activation of mTOR signaling upregulates the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) gene, leading to increased expression of SIRT3 and metabolic genes. These results indicate that mTOR signaling manipulates reductive glutamine metabolism in ISKNV-infected cells through PGC-1α-dependent regulation of SIRT3. Our findings reveal new insights on ISKNV-host interactions and will contribute new cellular targets to antiviral therapy. IMPORTANCE Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is the causative agent of farmed fish disease that has caused huge economic losses in fresh and marine fish aquaculture. The redox state of cells is shaped by virus into a favorable microenvironment for virus replication and proliferation. Our previous study demonstrated that ISKNV replication induced glutamine metabolism reprogramming, and it is necessary for the ISKNV multiplication. In this study, the mechanistic link between the mTOR/PGC-1α/SIRT3 pathway and reductive glutamine metabolism in the ISKNV-infected cells was provided, which will contribute new insights into the pathogenesis of ISKNV and antiviral treatment strategies.

SGIV Induced and Exploited Cellular De Novo Fatty Acid Synthesis for Virus Entry and Replication. Viruses 2022; 14:v14020180.

Abstract
Considerable attention has been paid to the roles of lipid metabolism in virus infection due to its regulatory effects on virus replication and host antiviral immune response. However, few literature has focused on whether lipid metabolism is involved in the life cycle of lower vertebrate viruses. Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is the causative aquatic virus that extensively causes fry and adult groupers death. Here, the potential roles of cellular de novo fatty acid synthesis in SGIV infection was investigated. SGIV infection not only increased the expression levels of key enzymes in fatty acid synthesis in vivo/vitro, including acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase alpha (ACC1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP1), but it also induced the formation of lipid droplets (LDs), suggesting that SGIV altered de novo fatty acid synthesis in host cells. Using the inhibitor and specific siRNA of ACC1 and FASN, we found that fatty acid synthesis was essential for SGIV replication, evidenced by their inhibitory effects on CPE progression, viral gene transcription, protein expression and virus production. Moreover, the inhibitor of fatty acid β-oxidation could also reduce SGIV replication. Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis but not β-oxidation markedly blocked virus entry during the life cycle of SGIV infection. In addition, we also found that inhibition of ACC1 and FASN increased the IFN immune and inflammatory response during SGIV infection. Together, our data demonstrated that SGIV infection in vitro regulated host lipid metabolism and, in that process, cellular fatty acid synthesis might exert crucial roles during SGIV infection via regulating virus entry and host immune response.

Abstract
c-Myc is a transcription factor and master regulator of cellular metabolism, and plays a critical role in virus replication by regulating glutamine metabolism. In this study, the open-reading frame (ORF) of c-Myc, designated as Sc-c-Myc, was cloned and sequenced. Multiple alignment of the amino acid sequence showed that the conserved domain of Sc-c-Myc, including the helix-loop-helix-zipper (bHLHzip) domain and Myc N-terminal region, shared high identities with other homologues from different species. Sc-c-Myc mRNA was widely expressed in the examined tissues of mandarin fish, and the higher mRNA levels was expressed in hind kidney. Moreover, mRNA and protein level of Sc-c-Myc was significantly increased in the Chinese perch brain (CPB) cells and spleen of mandarin fish post infection with infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV). Sc-c-Myc overexpression promoted ISKNV and SCRV replication, on the contrary, knocking down Sc-c-Myc restrained ISKNV and SCRV replication. These results indicated that Sc-c-Myc involved in ISKNV and SCRV replication and proliferation, providing a potential target for the development of new therapic strategy against ISKNV and SCRV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which enters host cells through the cell surface proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2. METHODS Using a variety of normal and malignant models and tissues from the aerodigestive and respiratory tracts, we investigated the expression and regulation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2. RESULTS We find that ACE2 expression is restricted to a select population of epithelial cells. Notably, infection with SARS-CoV-2 in cancer cell lines, bronchial organoids, and patient nasal epithelium induces metabolic and transcriptional changes consistent with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including up-regulation of ZEB1 and AXL, resulting in an increased EMT score. In addition, a transcriptional loss of genes associated with tight junction function occurs with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 receptor, ACE2, is repressed by EMT through the transforming growth factor-β, ZEB1 overexpression, and onset of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. This suggests a novel model of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis in which infected cells shift toward an increasingly mesenchymal state, associated with a loss of tight junction components with acute respiratory distress syndrome-protective effects. AXL inhibition and ZEB1 reduction, as with bemcentinib, offer a potential strategy to reverse this effect. CONCLUSIONS These observations highlight the use of aerodigestive and, especially, lung cancer model systems in exploring the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses and offer important insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the morbidity and mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 in healthy patients and patients with cancer alike.

Abstract
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which enters host cells via the cell surface proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2. Using a variety of normal and malignant models and tissues from the aerodigestive and respiratory tracts, we investigated the expression and regulation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2. We find that ACE2 expression is restricted to a select population of highly epithelial cells. Notably, infection with SARS-CoV-2 in cancer cell lines, bronchial organoids, and patient nasal epithelium, induces metabolic and transcriptional changes consistent with epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), including upregulation of ZEB1 and AXL, resulting in an increased EMT score. Additionally, a transcriptional loss of genes associated with tight junction function occurs with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 receptor, ACE2, is repressed by EMT via TGFbeta, ZEB1 overexpression and onset of EGFR TKI inhibitor resistance. This suggests a novel model of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis in which infected cells shift toward an increasingly mesenchymal state, associated with a loss of tight junction components with acute respiratory distress syndrome-protective effects. AXL-inhibition and ZEB1-reduction, as with bemcentinib, offers a potential strategy to reverse this effect. These observations highlight the utility of aerodigestive and, especially, lung cancer model systems in exploring the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses, and offer important insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in healthy patients and cancer patients alike.

Snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV) infection alters striped snakehead (Ophicephalus striatus) cells (SSN-1) glutamine metabolism and apoptosis pathways. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 102:36-46. [PMID: 32289513 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV) causes enormous economic losses in snakehead fish (Ophicephalus striatus) culture. Understanding replication mechanisms of virus is considerable significance in preventing and treating viral disease. In our previous studies, we have reported that glutamine starvation could significant inhibit the replication of SHVV. Furthermore, we also showed that SHVV infection could cause apoptosis of striped snakehead fish cells (SSN-1). However, the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. To decipher the relationships among the viral infection, glutamine starvation and apoptosis, SSN-1 cells transcriptomic profilings of SSN-1 cells infected with or without SHVV under glutamine deprived condition were analyzed. RNA-seq was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Our data revealed that 1215 up-regulated and 226 down-regulated genes at 24 h post-infection were involved in MAPK, apoptosis, RIG-1-like and toll-like receptors pathways and glutamine metabolism. Subsequently, DEGs of glutamine metabolism and apoptosis pathways were selected to validate the sequencing data by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression patterns of both transcriptomic data and qRT-PCR were consistent. We observed that lack of glutamine alone could cause mild cellular apoptosis. However, lack of glutamine together with SHVV infection could synergistically enhance cellular apoptosis. When the cells were cultured in complete medium with glutamine, overexpression of glutaminase (GLS), an essential enzyme for glutamine metabolism, could significantly enhance the SHVV replication. While, SHVV replication was decreased in cells when GLS was knocked down by specific siRNA, indicating that glutamine metabolism was essential for viral replication. Furthermore, the expression level of caspase-3 and Bax was significantly decreased in SHVV infected cells with GLS overexpression. By contrast, they were significantly increased in SHVV infected cells with GLS silence by SiRNA, indicating that SHVV infection activated the Bax and caspase-3 pathways to induce apoptosis independent of glutamine. Our results reveal that SHVV replication and starvation of glutamine could synergistically promote the cellular apoptosis, which will pave a new way for developing strategies against the vial infection.

Abstract
Red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), the causative agent of viral nervous necrosis disease, has caused high mortality and heavy economic losses in marine aquaculture worldwide. However, changes in host cell metabolism during RGNNV infection remain largely unknown. Here, the global metabolic profiling during RGNNV infection and the roles of cellular fatty acid synthesis in RGNNV infection were investigated. As the infection progressed, 71 intracellular metabolites were significantly altered in RGNNV-infected cells compared with mock-infected cells. The levels of metabolites involved in amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism were significantly decreased, whereas those that correlated with fatty acid synthesis were significantly up-regulated during RGNNV infection. Among them, tryptophan and oleic acid were assessed as the most crucial biomarkers for RGNNV infection. In addition, RGNNV infection induced the formation of lipid droplets and re-localization of fatty acid synthase (FASN), indicating that RGNNV induced and required lipogenesis for viral infection. The exogenous addition of palmitic acid (PA) enhanced RGNNV infection, and the inhibition of FASN and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) significantly decreased RGNNV replication. Additionally, not only inhibition of palmitoylation and phospholipid synthesis, but also destruction of fatty acid β-oxidation significantly decreased viral replication. These data suggest that cellular fatty acid synthesis and mitochondrial β-oxidation are essential for RGNNV to complete the viral life cycle. Thus, it has been demonstrated for the first time that RGNNV infection in vitro overtook host cell metabolism and, in that process, cellular fatty acid synthesis was an essential component for RGNNV replication.

Non-Targeted UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS-Based Metabolomics Reveals a Metabolic Shift from Glucose to Glutamine in CPB Cells during ISKNV Infection Cycle. Metabolites 2019; 9:metabo9090174. [PMID: 31487859 PMCID: PMC6780522 DOI: 10.3390/metabo9090174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 08/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) has caused serious economic losses in the cultured mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) industry in China. Host metabolism alteration induced by disease infection may be the core problem of pathogenesis. However, to date, little is known about the disease-induced fish metabolism changes. In this study, we first reported ISKNV, the fish virus, induced metabolism alteration. The metabolomics profiles of Chinese perch brain cells (CPB) post-ISKNV infection at progressive time points were analyzed using the UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique. A total of 98 differential metabolites were identified. In the samples harvested at 24 hours post-infection (hpi; the early stage of ISKNV infection), 49 differential metabolites were identified comparing with control cells, including 31 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated metabolites. And in the samples harvested at 72 hpi (the late stage of ISKNV infection), 49 differential metabolites were identified comparing with control cells, including 27 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated metabolites. These differential metabolites were involved in many pathways related with viral pathogenesis. Further analysis on the major differential metabolites related to glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism revealed that both glucose metabolism and glutamine metabolism were altered and a metabolic shift was determined from glucose to glutamine during ISKNV infection cycle. In ISKNV-infected cells, CPB cells prefer to utilize glucose for ISKNV replication at the early stage of infection, while they prefer to utilize glutamine to synthetize lipid for ISKNV maturation at the late stage of infection. These findings may improve the understanding of the interaction between ISKNV and host, as well as provide a new insight for elucidating the ISKNV pathogenic mechanism.

Abstract
Glucose is a main carbon and energy source for virus proliferation and is usually involved in the glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) pathways. In this study, we investigated the roles of glucose-related metabolic pathways during the replication of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), which has caused serious economic losses in the cultured Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) industry. We found that ISKNV infection enhanced the metabolic pathways of the PPP and the TCA cycle at the early stage of the ISKNV infection cycle and enhanced the glycolysis pathway at the late stage of the ISKNV infection cycle though the comprehensive analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The advanced results proved that ISKNV replication induced upregulation of aerobic glycolysis at the late stage of ISKNV infection cycle and aerobic glycolysis were required for ISKNV multiplication. In addition, the PPP, providing nucleotide biosynthesis, was also required for ISKNV multiplication. However, the TCA cycle involving glucose was not important and necessary for ISKNV multiplication. The results reported here provide new insights into viral pathogenesis mechanism of metabolic shift, as well as antiviral treatment strategies.

Abstract
Viruses are intracellular parasites that rely on host machinery to replicate and achieve a successful infection. Viruses have evolved to retain a broad range of strategies to manipulate host cell metabolism and metabolic resources, channeling them toward the production of virion components leading to viral production. Although several viruses share similar strategies for manipulating host cell metabolism, these processes depend on several factors, namely, the viral life cycle and the metabolic and energetic status of the infected cell. Based on this knowledge, the development of new therapeutic approaches that circumvent viral spread through the target of altered metabolic pathways is an opportunity to tackle the infection. However, finding effective broad-spectrum strategies that aim at restoring to homeostasis the metabolic alterations induced upon virus infection is still a Holy Grail quest for antiviral therapies. Here, we review the strategies by which viruses manipulate host metabolism for their own benefit, with a particular emphasis on carbohydrate, glutamine, and lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Autophagy is a degradation cellular process which also plays an important role in virus infection. Glutamine is an essential substrate for the synthesis of glutathione which is the most abundant thiol-containing compound within the cells and plays a key role in the antioxidant defense and intracellular signaling. There is an endogenous cellular glutathione pool which consists of two forms of glutathione, i.e. the reduced form (GSH) and the oxidized form (GSSG). GSH serves as an intracellular antioxidant to maintain cellular redox homeostasis by scavenging free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can lead to autophagy. Under physiological conditions, the concentration of GSSG is only about 1% of total glutathione, while stress condition can result in a transient increase of GSSG. In our previous report, we showed that the replication of snakehead fish vesiculovirus (SHVV) was significant inhibited in SSN-1 cells cultured in the glutamine-starvation medium, however the underlying mechanism remains enigmatic. Here, we revealed that the addition of L-Buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of the GSH synthesis, could decrease the γ-glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) activity and GSH levels, resulting in autophagy and significantly inhibition of the replication of SHVV in SSN-1 cells cultured in the complete medium. On the other hand, the replication of SHVV was rescued and the autophagy was inhibited in the SSN-1 cells cultured in the glutamine-starvation medium supplemented with additional GSH. Furthermore, the inhibition of the synthesis of GSH had not significantly affected the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, it significantly decreased level of GSH and enhanced the level of GSSG, resulting in the decrease of the value of GSH/GSSG, indicating that it promoted the cellular oxidative stress. Overall, the present study demonstrated that glutamine starvation impaired the replication of SHVV in SSN-1 cells via inducing autophagy associated with the disturbance of the endogenous glutathione pool.

Abstract
Tumourigenic tissue uses modified metabolic signalling pathways in order to support hyperproliferation and survival. Cancer-associated aerobic glycolysis resulting in lactic acid production was described nearly 100 years ago. Furthermore, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate quantities increase metabolic, survival and proliferation signalling, resulting in increased tumourigenesis. In order to maintain redox balance, the cell possesses innate antioxidant defence systems such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione. Several stimuli including cells deprived of nutrients or failure of antioxidant systems result in oxidative stress and cell death induction. Among the cell death machinery is autophagy, a compensatory mechanism whereby energy is produced from damaged and/or redundant organelles and proteins, which prevents the accumulation of waste products, thereby maintaining homeostasis. Furthermore, autophagy is maintained by several pathways including phosphoinositol 3 kinases, the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, hypoxia-inducible factor, avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog and protein kinase receptor-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase. The persistent potential of cancer metabolism, redox regulation and the crosstalk with autophagy in scientific investigation pertains to its ability to uncover essential aspects of tumourigenic transformation. This may result in clinical translational possibilities to exploit tumourigenic oxidative status and autophagy to advance our capabilities to diagnose, monitor and treat cancer.

Abstract
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is an important metabolic resource for proliferating tissues by acting as a proteinogenic amino acid, a nitrogen donor for biosynthetic reactions and as a substrate for the citric acid or tricarboxylic acid cycle. The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) productively infects activated CD4+ T cells that are known to require glutamine for proliferation and for carrying out effector functions. As a virus, HIV-1 is furthermore entirely dependent on host metabolism to support its replication. In this study, we compared HIV-1 infected with uninfected activated primary human CD4+ T cells with regard to glutamine metabolism. We report that glutamine concentrations are elevated in HIV-1-infected cells and that glutamine is important to support HIV-1 replication, although the latter is closely linked to the glutamine dependency of cell survival. Metabolic tracer experiments showed that entry of glutamine-derived carbon into the citric acid cycle is unaffected by HIV-1 infection, but that there is an increase in the secretion of glutamine-derived glutamic acid from HIV-1-infected cells. Western blotting of key enzymes that metabolize glutamine revealed marked differences in the expression of glutaminase isoforms, KGA and CAG, as well as the PPAT enzyme that targets glutamine-derived nitrogen toward nucleotide synthesis. Altogether, this demonstrates that infection of CD4+ T cells with HIV-1 leads to considerable changes in the cellular glutamine metabolism.
