Abstract
Daqinglong Decoction (DQLD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription firstly recorded in Shang han lun (the treatise on febrile diseases), has been used hundreds of years for the clinical treatment of influenza. However, the chemical composition and therapeutic mechanism of this prescription are unclear. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was employed to analyze the chemical compounds in both methanol and boiling water extracts of DQLD. The compounds were then screened, characterized, and filtered using the TCMSP, TCMIP, TCM-ID and SymMap database, with a focus on their oral bioavailability and drug-likeness values. The resulting data were analyzed and optimized using the R language platform, Autodock and Gromacs software to identify biological processes and pathways. A total of 121 compounds were identified, of which 5 showed good binding ability to influenza virus targets (1L1B, IL10, CASP3, STAT3, TNF, and others). The active ingredient-target-influenza virus pathway was constructed using a network drug target analysis model prediction of DQLD, which was mainly enriched in Human cytomegalovirus infection, PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, and other signaling pathways through 1L1B, IL10 and other targets. Those pathways highly correlated to the body's inflammatory response, improve immunity, and exert anti-influenza virus effects. In summary, this study demonstrated that DQLD's active ingredients can effectively bind to influenza virus targets and exert anti-influenza virus effects by reducing inflammation and improving immunity through Human cytomegalovirus infection, PI3K-Akt and HIF-1 signaling pathways. These findings offer important insights into the potential mechanisms of action of DQLD and its potential use as a TCM against influenza and other viral infections.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

PLoS Pathog 2023; 19:e1011406. [PMID: 37200384 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1011406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) H1N1 infection is a constant threat to human health and it remains so due to the lack of an effective treatment. Since melatonin is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule with anti-viral action, in the present study we used melatonin to protect against H1N1 infection under in vitro and in vivo conditions. The death rate of the H1N1-infected mice was negatively associated with the nose and lung tissue local melatonin levels but not with serum melatonin concentrations. The H1N1-infected AANAT-/- melatonin-deficient mice had a significantly higher death rate than that of the WT mice and melatonin administration significantly reduced the death rate. All evidence confirmed the protective effects of melatonin against H1N1 infection. Further study identified that the mast cells were the primary targets of melatonin action, i.e., melatonin suppresses the mast cell activation caused by H1N1 infection. The molecular mechanisms involved melatonin down-regulation of gene expression for the HIF-1 pathway and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine release from mast cells; this resulted in a reduction in the migration and activation of the macrophages and neutrophils in the lung tissue. This pathway was mediated by melatonin receptor 2 (MT2) since the MT2 specific antagonist 4P-PDOT significantly blocked the effects of melatonin on mast cell activation. Via targeting mast cells, melatonin suppressed apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and the lung injury caused by H1N1 infection. The findings provide a novel mechanism to protect against the H1N1-induced pulmonary injury, which may better facilitate the progress of new strategies to fight H1N1 infection or other IAV viral infections.

Abstract
Influenza A viruses (IAV) are classified based on their surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Both pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 viruses pose a significant threat to public health. Effective methods to simultaneously distinguish H1N1 and H5N1 are thus of great clinical value. In this study, a protocol for detection of HA proteins of both H1N1 and H5N1 was established. Specifically, we designed an aptasensor for HA using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy combined with DNase I-assisted cyclic enzymatic signal amplification. HA aptamers of H1N1 and H5N1 IAVs labeled with various fluorescent dyes were used as probes. Graphene oxide (GO) acted as a FRET acceptor for quenching the fluorescence signal and protected aptamers from DNase I cleavage. The fluorescence signal was recovered owing to aptamer release from GO with HA protein. DNase I-digested free aptamers and HA proteins were able to further interact with more fluorescent aptamer probes, resulting in increased signal amplification. The limits of detection (LOD) of H5N1 HA and H1N1 HA were 0.73 and 0.43 ng/ml, respectively, which were 19 and 27 times higher than LOD values obtained with the DNase I-free system. The recovery rate of HA protein in human serum samples ranged from 88.23 to 117.86%, supporting the accuracy and stability of this method in a complex detection environment. Our rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective novel approach could be expanded to other subtypes of IAVs other than H1N1 and H5N1.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Mouse Mast Cells upon Pathogenic Avian H5N1 and Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A Virus Infection. Viruses 2022; 14:v14020292.

Abstract
Mast cells, widely residing in connective tissues and on mucosal surfaces, play significant roles in battling against influenza A viruses. To gain further insights into the host cellular responses of mouse mast cells with influenza A virus infection, such as the highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus H5N1 and the human pandemic influenza A H1N1, we employed high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and related signaling pathways. Our data revealed that H1N1-infected mouse mast P815 cells presented more up- and down-regulated genes compared with H5N1-infected cells. Gene ontology analysis showed that the up-regulated genes in H1N1 infection were enriched for more degranulation-related cellular component terms and immune recognition-related molecular functions terms, while the up-regulated genes in H5N1 infection were enriched for more immune-response-related biological processes. Network enrichment of the KEGG pathway analysis showed that DEGs in H1N1 infection were specifically enriched for the FoxO and autophagy pathways. In contrast, DEGs in H5N1 infection were specifically enriched for the NF-κB and necroptosis pathways. Interestingly, we found that Nbeal2 could be preferentially activated in H5N1-infected P815 cells, where the level of Nbeal2 increased dramatically but decreased in HIN1-infected P815 cells. Nbeal2 knockdown facilitated inflammatory cytokine release in both H1N1- and H5N1-infected P815 cells and aggravated the apoptosis of pulmonary epithelial cells. In summary, our data described a transcriptomic profile and bioinformatic characterization of H1N-1 or H5N1-infected mast cells and, for the first time, established the crucial role of Nbeal2 during influenza A virus infection.

Abstract
Human T cell lymphotropic virus-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a pathogen-caused disease which is associated with the progressive neurological disorder. HAM/TSP affects the expression level of several proteins and dysregulates some biological pathways. To identify the interaction patterns among expressed genes in HAM/TSP patients, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied. Three microarray datasets regarding HAM/TSP were merged, and the co-expression network was constructed among genes. A total of 38 modules were identified. Three preserved modules in HAM/TSP in comparison to the healthy subjects which also had the most connected proteins and enriched in the biological pathways were selected. These modules were enriched in pathways related to immune systems, cell cycle, viral infection, and neuronal systems. Moreover, the involvement of novel immunological-related proteins including C1QB, GBP5, PSME1, SERPING1, and UBE2C; neurological-related proteins including TUBA4A, TUBB8, and TP63; and also proteins including TRPC6, PRKG2, OPRD1, PRKACA, and TUBB4A involved in the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, thyroid hormone synthesis, and recruitment of mitotic centrosome proteins and complexes were found. Therefore, tracing these proteins and the identified modules can shed light on the pathogenesis mechanism of HAM/TSP and help to find potential therapeutic targets. However, further experimental validation should be performed to confirm the proposed functional players.

Mast cells-derived exosomes worsen the development of experimental cerebral malaria. Acta Trop 2021; 224:106145.

Abstract
Cerebral malaria (CM) is the most severe neurological complication caused by Plasmodium falciparum infection. The accumulating evidence demonstrated that mast cells (MCs) and its mediators played a critical role in mediating malaria severity. Earlier studies identified that exosomes were emerging as key mediators of intercellular communication and can be released from several kinds of MCs. However, the potential functions and pathological mechanisms of MCs-derived exosomes (MCs-Exo) impacting on CM pathogenesis remain largely unknown. Herein, we utilized an experimental CM (ECM) model (C57BL/6 mice infected with P. berghei ANKA strain), and then intravenously (i.v.) injected MCs-Exo into P. berghei ANKA-infected mice to unfold this mechanism and investigate the effect of MCs-Exo on ECM pathogenies. We also used an in vitro model by investigating the pathogenesis development of brain microvascular endothelial cells line (bEnd.3 cells) co-cultured with P. berghei ANKA blood-stage soluble antigen (PbAg) after MCs-Exo treatment. The higher numbers of MCs and levels of MCs degranulation were observed in skin, cervical lymph node, and brain of ECM mice than those of the uninfected mice. Exosomes were successfully isolated from culture supernatants of mouse MCs line (P815 cells) and characterized by spherical vesicles with the diameter of 30-150 nm, and expression of typical exosomal markers (e.g., CD9, CD63, and CD81). The i.v. injection of MCs-Exo dramatically elevated incidence of ECM in the P. berghei ANKA-infected mice, exacerbated liver and brain histopathological damage, promoted Th1 cytokine response, aggravated brain vascular endothelial activation and blood brain barrier breakdown in ECM mice. In addition, the treatment of MCs-Exo led to the decrease of cells viability and mRNA levels of Ang-1, ZO-1, and Claudin-5, but increase of mRNA levels of Ang-2, CCL2, CXCL1, and CXCL9 in bEnd.3 cells co-cultured with PbAg in vitro. Taken together, our data indicated that MCs-Exo could worsen pathogenesis of ECM in mice.

Abstract
Pneumonia is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to constant evolution of respiratory bacteria and viruses, development of drug resistance and emerging pathogens, it constitutes a considerable health care threat. To enable development of novel strategies to control pneumonia, a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of interaction between host cells and infecting pathogens is vital. Here, we review the roles of host cell and bacterial-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in these interactions. We discuss clinical and experimental as well as pathogen-overarching and pathogen-specific evidence for common viral and bacterial elicitors of community- and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Finally, we highlight the potential of EVs for improved management of pneumonia patients and discuss the translational steps to be taken before they can be safely exploited as novel vaccines, biomarkers, or therapeutics in clinical practice.

Abstract
We investigated the reaction of mouse peritoneal mast cells (MCs) in vitro after IgG-containing immune complex introduction using A/H5N1 and A/H1N1pdm09 influenza viruses as antigens. The sera of immune mice served as a source of IgG antibodies. The concentration of histamine in the supernatants was determined at 4 hours after incubation with antisera and virus. We compared the contribution of MCs to the pathogenesis of post-immunization influenza infection with A/H5N1 and A/H1N1 influenza viruses in mice. The mice were immunized parenterally with inactivated viruses and challenged with lethal doses of drift A/H5N1 and A/H1N1 influenza viruses on the 14th day after immunization. Simultaneously, half of the mice were injected intraperitoneally with a mixture of histamine receptor blockers (chloropyramine and quamatel). In in vitro experiments, the immune complex formed by A/H5N1 virus and antiserum caused a significant increase in the histamine release compared to immune serum or the virus alone. With regard to the A/H1N1 virus, such an increase was not significant. A/H1N1 immunization caused detectable HI response in mice at 12th day after immunization, in contrast to the A/H5N1 virus. After challenge of A/H5N1-immunized mice, administration of antihistamines increased the survival rate by up to 90%. When infecting the A/H1N1-immunized mice, 90% of the animals were already protected from lethal infection by day 14; the administration of histamine receptor blockers did not increase survival. Histological examination of the lungs has shown that toluidine blue staining allows to estimate the degree of MC degranulation. The possibility of in vitro activation of murine MCs by IgG-containing immune complexes has been shown. In a model of influenza infection, it was shown that the administration of histamine receptor blockers increased survival. When the protection was formed faster due to the earlier production of HI antibodies, the administration of histamine receptor blockers did not significantly affect the course of the infection. These data allow to propose that even if there are antibody-dependent MC reactions, they can be easily stopped by the administration of histamine receptor blockers.

Abstract
The ability to detect and respond to varying oxygen tension is an essential prerequisite to life. Several mechanisms regulate the cellular response to oxygen including the prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD)/factor inhibiting HIF (FIH)-hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway, cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol) dioxygenase (ADO) system, and the lysine-specific demethylases (KDM) 5A and KDM6A. Using a systems-based approach we discuss the literature on oxygen sensing pathways in the context of virus replication in different tissues that experience variable oxygen tension. Current information supports a model where the PHD-HIF pathway enhances the replication of viruses infecting tissues under low oxygen, however, the reverse is true for viruses with a selective tropism for higher oxygen environments. Differences in oxygen tension and associated HIF signaling may play an important role in viral tropism and pathogenesis. Thus, pharmaceutical agents that modulate HIF activity could provide novel treatment options for viral infections and associated pathological conditions.

Abstract
Influenza virus infection is a major health care concern associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, and cause annual seasonal epidemics and pandemics at irregular intervals. Recent research has highlighted that viral components can be found on the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from infected cells, implying a functional relevance of EVs with influenza virus dissemination. Therefore, exploring the role of EVs in influenza virus infection has been attracting significant attention. In this review, we will briefly introduce the biogenesis of EVs, and focus on the role of EVs in influenza virus infection, and then discuss the EVs-based influenza vaccines and the limitations of EVs studies, to further enrich and boost the development of preventative and therapeutic strategies to combat influenza virus.
