Zyxin stabilizes RIG-I and MAVS interactions and promotes type I interferon response.

ABSTRACT: RIG-I and MDA5 are cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors that belong to the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), which induce antiviral innate immune responses, including the production of type I interferon and other pro-inflammatory cytokines. After recognition of viral RNA, the N-terminal caspase activation and recruitment domains (CARDs) of RIG-I and MDA5 bind to a CARD in the MAVS adaptor molecule, resulting in MAVS oligomerization and downstream signaling. To reveal the molecular mechanism of MAVS-dependent signaling, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening and identified zyxin as a protein that binds to MAVS. Zyxin co-immunoprecipitated with MAVS in human cells. A proximity ligation assay showed that zyxin and MAVS partly co-localized on mitochondria. Ectopic expression of zyxin augmented MAVS-mediated IFN-? promoter activation, and knockdown of zyxin (ZYX) attenuated the IFN-? promoter activation. Moreover, ZYX knockdown reduced the expression of type I IFN and an interferon-inducible gene after stimulation with polyI:C or influenza A virus RNA. Interestingly, physical interactions between RLRs and MAVS were abrogated by ZYX knockdown. These observations indicate that zyxin serves as a scaffold for the interactions between RLRs and MAVS.

Project description:Background:The development and metastasis of cancer cells are regulated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) present in the surrounding tumor microenvironment. RIG-I is a key pathogen recognition receptor against RNA viruses that regulates innate immunity in cancer progression. Till now, the mechanism of RIG-I regulation of the polarization of TAMs in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been understood. Materials and Methods:Levels of RIG-I and the key proteins in the NF-?B pathway in HCC and paired paracancerous tissues were detected by Western blotting. The transfection efficiency of RIG-I was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The M1 and M2 markers were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and FACS assays. Apoptosis of RIG-I lentivirus-infected HCC cells was detected by flow cytometry assay. Death of Hepa1-6 and H22 cells was analyzed by lactate dehydrogenase releasing assay. Results:The level of RIG-I was decreased in HCC tissues as compared to that in the paired paracancerous tissues. Overexpression of RIG-I in mouse peritoneal macrophages increased the expression of the biomarkers CD16/32 and CD11c associated with M1 macrophages. The relative levels of IL-1?, TNF-?, IL-6, and iNOS were significantly increased in RIG-I lentivirus-infected macrophages, whereas the levels of Arg-1 and IL-10 were not significantly different in RIG-I-overexpressed peritoneal macrophages. Moreover, overexpression of RIG-I in peritoneal macrophages promoted apoptosis of Hepa1-6 and H22 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of RIG-I increased the levels of phosphorylated p65 and p-I?B and decreased the level of I?B in peritoneal macrophages. Importantly, the expression of MAVS and TRAF2 was significantly increased in RIG-I lentivirus-infected macrophages. Conclusion:Our results demonstrate that overexpression of RIG-I promoted apoptosis and death of HCC cells. Moreover, RIG-I promoted the polarization of M1 through the RIG-I/MAVS/TRAF2/NF-?B pathway in mice peritoneal macrophages, suggesting that RIG-I may be a novel target in the immunotherapy of HCC.
