Abstract
'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' (Lso) is a bacterial pathogen infecting several crops and causing damaging diseases. Several Lso haplotypes have been identified. Among the seven haplotypes present in North America, LsoA and LsoB are transmitted by the potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), in a circulative and persistent manner. The gut, which is the first organ pathogen encounters, could be a barrier for Lso transmission. However, the molecular interactions between Lso and the psyllid vector at the gut interface remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the global transcriptional responses of the adult psyllid gut upon infection with two Lso haplotypes (LsoA and LsoB) using Illumina sequencing. The results showed that each haplotype triggers a unique transcriptional response, with most of the distinct genes elicited by the highly virulent LsoB. The differentially expressed genes were mainly associated with digestion and metabolism, stress response, immunity, detoxification as well as cell proliferation and epithelium renewal. Importantly, distinct immune pathways were triggered by LsoA and LsoB in the gut of the potato psyllid. The information in this study will provide an understanding of the molecular basis of the interactions between the potato psyllid gut and Lso, which may lead to the discovery of novel molecular targets for the control of these pathogens.

Identification and validation of ferroptosis-related genes in patients infected with dengue virus: implication in the pathogenesis of DENV. Virus Genes 2023; 59:377-390.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been associated with many virus infections. However, the role of ferroptosis in dengue virus (DENV) infection remains to be clarified. In our study, a dengue fever microarray dataset (GSE51808) of whole blood samples was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and a list of ferroptosis related genes (FRGs) was extracted from the FerrDb. We identified 37 ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (FR-DEGs) in DENV-infected patient blood samples compared to healthy individuals. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses as well as protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of FR-DEGs revealed that these 37 FR-DEGs were mainly related to the C-type lectin receptor and p53 signaling pathway. Nine out of the 37 FR-DEGs (HSPA5, CAV1, HRAS, PTGS2, JUN, IL6, ATF3, XBP1, and CDKN2A) were hub genes, of which 5 were validated by qRT-PCR in DENV-infected HepG2 cells. Finally, using miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, we identified has-miR-124-3p and has-miR-16-5p as the most critical miRNAs in regulating the expression of these hub genes. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that 5 FR-DEGs, JUN, IL6, ATF3, XBP1, and CDKN2A, and two miRNAs, has-miR-124-3p and has-miR-16-5p may implicate an essential role of ferroptosis in DENV infection, and further studies are warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms.

Chikungunya virus entry and infectivity is primarily facilitated through cell line dependent attachment factors in mammalian and mosquito cells. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1085913. [PMID: 36743418 PMCID: PMC9895848 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1085913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is the causative agent of the human disease chikungunya fever, characterized by debilitating acute and chronic arthralgia. No licensed vaccines or antivirals are currently available for CHIKV. Therefore, the prevention of attachment of viral particles to host cells is a potential intervention strategy. As an arbovirus, CHIKV infects a wide variety of cells in both its mammalian and mosquito host. This broad cell tropism might stem from CHIKV's ability to bind to a variety of entry factors in the host cell including phosphatidylserine receptors (PSRs), glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and the proteinaceous receptor Mxra8, among others. In this study, we aimed to determine the relevance of each attachment factor during CHIKV entry into a panel of mammalian and mosquito cells. Our data suggest that the importance of particular binding factors during CHIKV infection is highly cell line dependent. Entry into mammalian Vero cells was mediated through attachment to PSRs, mainly T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-1 (TIM-1). Conversely, CHIKV infection into HAP1 and NIH3T3 was predominantly mediated by heparan sulfate (HS) and Mxra8, respectively. Entry into mosquito cells was independent of PSRs, HS, and Mxra8. Although entry into mosquito cells remains unclear, our data denotes the importance of careful evaluation of reagents used to identify receptor use in invertebrate cells. While PSRs, GAGs, and Mxra8 all enhance entry in a cell line dependent manner, none of these factors are necessary for CHIKV entry, suggesting additional host factors are involved.

Abstract
Aedes albopictus (Ae. albopictus), an important vector of dengue virus (DENV), is distributed worldwide. Identifying host proteins involved in flavivirus replication in Ae. albopictus and determining their natural antiviral mechanisms are critical to control virus transmission. Revealing the key proteins related to virus replication and exploring the host-pathogen interaction are of great significance in finding new pathways of the natural immune response in Ae. albopictus. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) was used to perform a comparative proteomic analysis between the midgut of Ae. albopictus infected with DENV and the control. 3,419 proteins were detected, of which 162 were ≥ 1.2-fold differentially upregulated or ≤ 0.8-fold differentially downregulated (p < 0.05) during DENV infections. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were mainly enriched in ubiquitin ligase complex, structural constituent of cuticle, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid metabolism pathways. We found that one of the DEPs, a putative pupal cuticle (PC) protein could inhibit the replication of DENV and interact with the DENV-E protein. In addition, the result of immunofluorescence (IF) test showed that there was co-localization between ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) protein and the DENV-E protein, and virus infection reduced the level of this protein. iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis of the Ae. albopictus midgut identified dengue infection-induced upregulated and downregulated proteins. The interaction between the PC and UCH proteins in the midgut of Ae. albopictus might exert a natural antiviral mechanism in mosquito.

Japanese Encephalitis Virus NS4A Protein Interacts with PTEN-Induced Kinase 1 (PINK1) and Promotes Mitophagy in Infected Cells. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0083022. [PMID: 35604158 PMCID: PMC9241661 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00830-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The nonstructural protein 4A (NS4A) of flaviviruses has been implicated as a "central organizer" of the membrane-bound replication complex during virus replication. However, its role in the host responses to virus infection is not understood. Using the yeast-two-hybrid library screen, we identified a multitude of host proteins interacting with the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) NS4A protein. Several of these interacting proteins are known to localize to the mitochondria. One of these proteins was PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), a serine/threonine-protein kinase known for its role in mitophagy. Here, we demonstrate the JEV-NS4A localization to the mitochondria and its interaction with PINK1 in Huh7 cells during JEV infection. The JEV-infected cells showed an enhanced mitophagy flux with a concomitant decline in the mitochondrial mass. We present data showing that JEV-NS4A alone was sufficient to induce mitophagy. Interference with mitochondrial fragmentation and mitophagy resulted in reduced virus propagation. Overall, our study provides the first evidence of mitochondrial quality control dysregulation during JEV infection, largely mediated by its NS4A protein. IMPORTANCE The JEV-infected mammalian cells show an enhanced mitophagy flux with a concomitant decline in the mitochondrial mass.
