Downregulated NDR1 protein kinase inhibits innate immune response by initiating an miR146a-STAT1 feedback loop.

ABSTRACT: Interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) play crucial roles in the antiviral immune response; however, IFNs also induce negative regulators that attenuate the antiviral response. Here, we show that both viral and bacterial invasion downregulate Nuclear Dbf2-related kinase 1 (NDR1) expression via the type I IFN signaling pathway. NDR1 promotes the virus-induced production of type I IFN, proinflammatory cytokines and ISGs in a kinase-independent manner. NDR1 deficiency also renders mice more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. Mechanistically, NDR1 enhances STAT1 translation by directly binding to the intergenic region of miR146a, thereby inhibiting miR146a expression and liberating STAT1 from miR146a-mediated translational inhibition. Furthermore, STAT1 binds to the miR146a promoter, thus decreasing its expression. Together, our results suggest that NDR1 promotion of STAT1 translation is an important event for IFN-dependent antiviral immune response, and suggest that NDR1 has an important role in controlling viral infections.

Project description:Extensive inflammation of endothelial cells (ECs) facilitates atherosclerotic lesion formation. Circular RNA (circRNA) participates in atherosclerosis (AS)-related inflammation responses; however, whether and how circ_0086296 regulates atherosclerotic inflammation and lesions have not been investigated. Microarray analysis, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and fluorescence in situ hybridization assay were performed to detect the expression and location of hsa_circ_0086296 in human carotid artery plaques, aorta of atherosclerotic mice, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Sanger sequencing was used to verify the loop structure of circ_0086296. The relationship among circ_0086296, miR-576-3p, IFIT1, STAT1, and EIF4A3 was validated using bioinformatics, luciferase assay, RNA pull-down assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation. The atherosclerosis mouse model was used to evaluate the function of circ_0086296 in vivo. circ_0086296 expression was significantly upregulated in human carotid artery plaques, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated HUVECs, and the aorta of atherosclerotic mice. Functional analysis indicated that circ_0086296 promotes ECs injury in vitro and atherosclerosis progression in vivo. The mechanism analysis indicated that circ_0086296 sponged miR-576-3p to promote IFIT1-STAT1 expression. Moreover, STAT1 upregulated circ_0086296 expression, forming the circ_0086296/miR-576-3p/IFIT1/STAT1 feedback loop. Notably, inhibition of the circ_0086296/miR-576-3p/IFIT1 axis could block atherosclerotic lesion formation both in vivo and in vitro. Finally, circ_0086296 was overexpressed in exosomes of patients with atherosclerosis and exosomes of ox-LDL-treated ECs. Therefore, the circ_0086296/miR-576-3p/IFIT1/STAT1 feedback loop participates in atherosclerosis progression and contributes to the high circ_0086296 expression observed in the exosomes of serum of patients with atherosclerosis. This study sought to provide a deep understanding of the mechanisms underlying the aberrant EC phenotype in AS.
