Abstract
Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized bacterial peptides endowed with antibacterial, antiprotozoal, anticancer and antiviral activities. In the present study, we evaluated the antiviral activities of two bacteriocins, enterocin DD14 (EntDD14) and lacticaseicin 30, against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Vero, Huh7 and Vero E6 cells, respectively. In addition, the interactions of these bacteriocins with the envelope glycoprotein D of HSV-1 and the receptor binding domains of HCoV-229E and SARS-CoV-2 have been computationally evaluated using protein-protein docking and molecular dynamics simulations. HSV-1 replication in Vero cells was inhibited by EntDD14 and, to a lesser extent, by lacticaseicin 30 added to cells after virus inoculation. EntDD14 and lacticaseicin 30 had no apparent antiviral activity against HCoV-229E; however, EntDD14 was able to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells. Further studies are needed to elucidate the antiviral mechanism of these bacteriocins.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by an autoimmune process which culminates in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It is widely believed that a complex and multifactorial interplay between genetic and environmental factors, such as viruses, play a crucial role in the development of the disease. Research over the past few decades has shown that there is not one single viral culprit, nor one single genetic pathway, causing the disease. Rather, viral infections, most notably enteroviruses (EV), appear to accelerate the autoimmune process leading to T1D and are often seen as a precipitator of clinical diagnosis. In support of this hypothesis, the use of anti-viral drugs has recently shown efficacy in preserving beta cell function after onset of diabetes. In this review, we will discuss the various pathways that viral infections utilize to accelerate the development of T1D. There are three key mechanisms linking viral infections to beta-cell death: One is modulated by the direct infection of islets by viruses, resulting in their impaired function, another occurs in a more indirect fashion, by modulating the immune system, and the third is caused by heightened stress on the beta-cell by interferon-mediated increase of insulin resistance. The first two aspects are surprisingly difficult to study, in the case of the former, because there are still many questions about how viruses might persist for longer time periods. In the latter, indirect/immune case, viruses might impact immunity as a hit-and-run scenario, meaning that many or all direct viral footprints quickly vanish, while changes imprinted upon the immune system and the anti-islet autoimmune response persist. Given the fact that viruses are often associated with the precipitation of clinical autoimmunity, there are concerns regarding the impact of the recent global coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the development of autoimmune disease. The long-term effects of COVID-19 infection on T1D will therefore be discussed, including the increased development of new cases of T1D. Understanding the interplay between viral infections and autoimmunity is crucial for advancing our knowledge in this field and developing targeted therapeutic interventions. In this review we will examine the intricate relationship between viral infections and autoimmunity and discuss potential considerations for prevention and treatment strategies.

Vemurafenib Inhibits Acute and Chronic Enterovirus Infection by Affecting Cellular Kinase Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Type IIIβ. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0055223.

Abstract
Enteroviruses are one of the most abundant viruses causing mild to serious acute infections in humans and also contributing to chronic diseases like type 1 diabetes. Presently, there are no approved antiviral drugs against enteroviruses. Here, we studied the potency of vemurafenib, an FDA-approved RAF kinase inhibitor for treating BRAFV600E mutant-related melanoma, as an antiviral against enteroviruses. We showed that vemurafenib prevented enterovirus translation and replication at low micromolar dosage in an RAF/MEK/ERK-independent manner. Vemurafenib was effective against group A, B, and C enteroviruses, as well as rhinovirus, but not parechovirus or more remote viruses such as Semliki Forest virus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. The inhibitory effect was related to a cellular phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIIβ (PI4KB), which has been shown to be important in the formation of enteroviral replication organelles. Vemurafenib prevented infection efficiently in acute cell models, eradicated infection in a chronic cell model, and lowered virus amounts in pancreas and heart in an acute mouse model. Altogether, instead of acting through the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, vemurafenib affects the cellular PI4KB and, hence, enterovirus replication, opening new possibilities to evaluate further the potential of vemurafenib as a repurposed drug in clinical care. IMPORTANCE Despite the prevalence and medical threat of enteroviruses, presently, there are no antivirals against them. Here, we show that vemurafenib, an FDA-approved RAF kinase inhibitor for treating BRAFV600E mutant-related melanoma, prevents enterovirus translation and replication. Vemurafenib shows efficacy against group A, B, and C enteroviruses, as well as rhinovirus, but not parechovirus or more remote viruses such as Semliki Forest virus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. The inhibitory effect acts through cellular phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIIβ (PI4KB), which has been shown to be important in the formation of enteroviral replication organelles. Vemurafenib prevents infection efficiently in acute cell models, eradicates infection in a chronic cell model, and lowers virus amounts in pancreas and heart in an acute mouse model. Our findings open new possibilities to develop drugs against enteroviruses and give hope for repurposing vemurafenib as an antiviral drug against enteroviruses.

Antiviral activity of some benzo[g]quinazolines against coxsackievirus B4: biological screening and docking study. Pharmacol Rep 2023:10.1007/s43440-023-00495-z. [PMID: 37210695 PMCID: PMC10200032 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-023-00495-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serotype coxsackievirus B (CVB) infection has been linked to viral myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, meningitis, and pancreatitis in children and young adults. As of yet, no antiviral drug has been authorized for the treatment of coxsackievirus infection. Therefore, there is perpetual demand for new therapeutic agents and the improvement of existing ones. Benzo[g]quinazolines, the subject of several well-known heterocyclic systems, have risen to prominence and played a significant role in the development of antiviral agents, particularly those for anti-coxsackievirus B4 infection. METHODS This study investigated the cytotoxicity of the target benzo[g]quinazolines (1-16) in the BGM cells line as well as their anti-coxsackievirus B4 activity. Determination of CVB4 titers using a plaque assay. RESULTS Most of the target benzoquinazolines exhibited antiviral activity, however, compounds 1-3 appeared to be the most effective (reduction percentages of 66.7, 70, and 83.3%, respectively). The binding mechanisms and interactions of the three most active 1-3 with the constitutive amino acids in the active site of the multi-target of coxsackievirus B4 (3Clpro and RdRp) targets were also investigated using molecular docking. CONCLUSION The anti coxsackievirus B4 activity has resulted, and the top three active benzoquinazolines (1-3) have bonded to and interacted with the constitutive amino acids in the active region of the multi-target coxsackievirus B4 (RdRp and 3Clpro). Further research is required in the lab. to determine the exact benzoquinazolines mechanism of action.

Abstract
Viral infections have been frequently associated with physiological and pathological changes in the endocrine system for many years. The numerous early and late endocrine complications reported during the current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reinforce the relevance of improving our understanding of the impact of viral infections on the endocrine system. Several viruses have been shown to infect endocrine cells and induce endocrine system disturbances through the direct damage of these cells or through indirect mechanisms, especially the activation of the host antiviral immune response, which may lead to the development of local or systemic inflammation or organ-specific autoimmunity. In addition, endocrine disorders may also affect susceptibility to viral infections since endocrine hormones have immunoregulatory functions. This review provides a brief overview of the impact of viral infections on the human endocrine system in order to provide new avenues for the control of endocrine diseases.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis, a potentially fatal disease, with symptoms including nausea and/or vomiting, indigestion, and abdominal pain, is known to range from a mild self-limiting state up to a more severe and lethal form. This review aims to provide a clearer picture to improve understanding the role of viral agents in the development of acute pancreatitis. Common databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus were used for the literature search. In this review search terms including virus, viral, infection, and specific descriptive terms for a virus were considered in different combinations. Various causative agents are recognized in the development of acute pancreatitis as one of the most frequent gastrointestinal diseases, such as gallstones, alcoholism, and hypertriglyceridemia. Microbial pathogens with about 10% of acute pancreatitis cases, mainly viruses, among other factors, are thought to play a role in this regard. Once the pancreatitis diagnosis has been made, depending on the causative agent, the management approach and specific interventions affect the final outcome. Virus-induced acute pancreatitis in patients should be considered. Advanced diagnostic tests such as PCR, in situ hybridization, and biopsy can help for a better understanding of the role of viruses in causing acute pancreatitis. Improvement in the tests will lead to timely diagnosis, treatment, and better management of pancreatitis.

Abstract
Emergence of 5' terminally deleted coxsackievirus-B RNA forms (CVB-TD) have been associated with the development of human diseases. These CVB-TD RNA forms have been detected in mouse pancreas during acute or persistent experimental infections. To date, the impact of the replication activities of CVB-TD RNA forms on insulin metabolism remains unexplored. Using an immunocompetent mouse model of CVB3/28 infection, acute and persistent infections of major CVB-TD populations were evidenced in the pancreas. The inoculation of mice with homogenized pancreases containing major CVB-TD populations induced acute and chronic pancreatic infections with pancreatitis. In the mouse pancreas, viral capsid protein 1 (VP1) expression colocalized with a decrease in beta cells insulin content. Moreover, in infected mouse pancreases, we showed a decrease in pro-hormone convertase 2 (PCSK2) mRNA, associated with a decrease in insulin plasmatic concentration. Finally, transfection of synthetic CVB-TD50 RNA forms into cultured rodent pancreatic beta cells demonstrated that viral replication with protein synthesis activities decreased the PCSK2 mRNA expression levels, impairing insulin secretion. In conclusion, our results show that the emergence and maintenance of major CVB-TD RNA replicative forms in pancreatic beta cells can play a direct, key role in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the development of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Enteroviruses are believed to trigger or accelerate islet autoimmunity in genetically susceptible individuals, thereby resulting in loss of functional insulin-producing β-cells and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Although enteroviruses are primarily involved in acute and lytic infections in vitro and in vivo, they can also establish a persistent infection. Prospective epidemiological studies have strongly associated the persistence of enteroviruses, especially coxsackievirus B (CVB), with the appearance of islet autoantibodies and an increased risk of T1DM. CVB can persist in pancreatic ductal and β-cells, which leads to structural or functional alterations of these cells, and to a chronic inflammatory response that promotes recruitment and activation of pre-existing autoreactive T cells and β-cell autoimmune destruction. CVB persistence in other sites, such as the intestine, blood cells and thymus, has been described; these sites could serve as a reservoir for infection or reinfection of the pancreas, and this persistence could have a role in the disturbance of tolerance to β-cells. This Review addresses the involvement of persistent enterovirus infection in triggering islet autoimmunity and T1DM, as well as current strategies to control enterovirus infections for preventing or reducing the risk of T1DM onset.

Abstract
Major EV-B populations characterized by 5′ terminal deletions (5′TD) have been shown to be associated with the development of myocarditis and type 1 diabetes in mice or humans. To date, the dynamics of EV-B 5′TD-RNA forms’ emergence during the course of infection and their impact on cellular functions remain unclear. Using a RACE-PCR approach in CVB3/28-infected mouse organs, we showed an early (3 days post infection, DPI) emergence of major 5′TD populations associated with minor full-length RNA forms. Viral replication activities with infectious particle production were associated with heart, liver, and pancreas acute inflammatory lesions, whereas clearance of viral RNA without organ lesions was observed in the brain, lung, intestines, and muscles from 3 to 7 DPI. At 28 DPI, low viral RNA levels, +/-RNA ratios < 5 associated with viral protein 1 expression revealed a persistent infection in the heart and pancreas. This persistent infection was characterized by molecular detection of only 5′TD RNA forms that were associated with dystrophin cleavage in the heart and insulin production impairment in beta-pancreatic cells. These results demonstrated that major EV-B 5′TD RNA forms can be early selected during systemic infection and that their maintenance may drive EV-induced acute and persistent infections with target cell dysfunctions.

Abstract
Enteroviruses have now been shown to persist in cell cultures and in vivo by a novel mechanism involving the deletion of varying amounts of the 5′ terminal genomic region termed domain I (also known as the cloverleaf). Molecular clones of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) genomes with 5′ terminal deletions (TD) of varying length allow the study of these mutant populations, which are able to replicate in the complete absence of wildtype virus genomes. The study of TD enteroviruses has revealed numerous significant differences from canonical enteroviral biology. The deletions appear and become the dominant population when an enterovirus replicates in quiescent cell populations, but can also occur if one of the cis-acting replication elements of the genome (CRE-2C) is artificially mutated in the element’s stem and loop structures. This review discusses how the TD genomes arise, how they interact with the host, and their effects on host biology.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the T-cell-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in pancreatic islets. It generally occurs in genetically susceptible individuals, and genetics plays a major role in the development of islet autoimmunity. Furthermore, these processes are heterogeneous among individuals; hence, different endotypes have been proposed. In this review, we highlight the interplay between genetic predisposition and other non-genetic factors, such as viral infections, diet, and gut biome, which all potentially contribute to the aetiology of T1D. We also discuss a possible active role for β-cells in initiating the pathological processes. Another component in T1D predisposition is epigenetic influences, which represent a link between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors and may account for some of the disease heterogeneity. Accordingly, a shift towards personalized therapies may improve the treatment results and, therefore, result in better outcomes for individuals in the long-run.
