HIV-1 Vpr antagonizes innate immune activation by targeting karyopherin-mediated NF-?B/IRF3 nuclear transport.

ABSTRACT: HIV-1 must replicate in cells that are equipped to defend themselves from infection through intracellular innate immune systems. HIV-1 evades innate immune sensing through encapsidated DNA synthesis and encodes accessory genes that antagonize specific antiviral effectors. Here, we show that both particle associated, and expressed HIV-1 Vpr, antagonize the stimulatory effect of a variety of pathogen associated molecular patterns by inhibiting IRF3 and NF-?B nuclear transport. Phosphorylation of IRF3 at S396, but not S386, was also inhibited. We propose that, rather than promoting HIV-1 nuclear import, Vpr interacts with karyopherins to disturb their import of IRF3 and NF-?B to promote replication in macrophages. Concordantly, we demonstrate Vpr-dependent rescue of HIV-1 replication in human macrophages from inhibition by cGAMP, the product of activated cGAS. We propose a model that unifies Vpr manipulation of nuclear import and inhibition of innate immune activation to promote HIV-1 replication and transmission.

Recognition of nuclear targeting signals by Karyopherin-? proteins.

Project description:The Karyopherin-? family of nuclear transport factors mediates the majority of nucleocytoplasmic transport. Although each of the 19 Karyopherin-?s transports unique sets of cargos, only three classes of nuclear localization and export signals, or NLSs and NESs, have been characterized. The short basic classical-NLS was first discovered in the 1980s and their karyopherin-bound structures were first reported more than 10 years ago. More recently, structural and biophysical studies of Karyopherin-?2-cargo complexes led to definition of the complex and diverse PY-NLS. Structural knowledge of the leucine-rich NES is finally available more than 10 years after the discovery of its recognition by the exportin CRM1. We review recent findings relating to how these three classes of nuclear targeting signals are recognized by their Karyopherin-? nuclear transport factors.

MicroRNA-181b-2 and MicroRNA-21-1 Negatively Regulate NF-κB and IRF3-Mediated Innate Immune Responses <i>via</i> Targeting TRIF in Teleost.

Project description:Upon recognition of bacterial or viral components by Toll-like receptors (TLRs), cells could be activated to induce a series of reactions to produce inflammatory cytokines, type I interferon (IFN), and IFN stimulating genes (ISG). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important regulatory molecules that are widely involved in the regulatory networks of mammalian inflammation and immune responses; however, in lower vertebrates, the regulatory network of miRNA-mediated immune responses is poorly understood. Here, we report two miRNAs form Miichthys miiuy, namely, miR-181b-2 and miR-21-1, that play a negative role in host antiviral and antibacterial immunity. We found that miR-181b-2 and miR-21-1 are abundantly expressed in gram-negative bacteria, as well as RNA rhabdovirus infection. Inducible miR-181b-2 and miR-21-1 suppress the production of inflammatory cytokines and type I IFN by targeting TRIF, thereby avoiding excessive inflammation. We further revealed that miR-181b-2 and miR-21-1 modulate antibacterial and antiviral immunity through the TRIF-mediated NF-κB and IRF3 signaling pathways. The overall results indicate that miR-181b-2 and miR-21-1 act as negative feedback regulators and participate in host antibacterial and antiviral immune responses; this finding could provide information for a deeper understanding of the resistance of lower vertebrates to the invasion of pathogens and to avoidance of excessive immunity.

Dissecting in vivo steady-state dynamics of karyopherin-dependent nuclear transport.

Project description:Karyopherin-dependent molecular transport through the nuclear pore complex is maintained by constant recycling pathways of karyopherins coupled with the Ran-dependent cargo catch-and-release mechanism. Although many studies have revealed the bidirectional dynamics of karyopherins, the entire kinetics of the steady-state dynamics of karyopherin and cargo is still not fully understood. In this study, we used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and fluorescence loss in photobleaching on live cells to provide convincing in vivo proof that karyopherin-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport of cargoes is bidirectional. Continuous photobleaching of the cytoplasm of live cells expressing NLS cargoes led to progressive decrease of nuclear fluorescence signals. In addition, experimentally obtained kinetic parameters of karyopherin complexes were used to establish a kinetic model to explain the entire cargo import and export transport cycles facilitated by importin ?. The results strongly indicate that constant shuttling of karyopherins, either free or bound to cargo, ensures proper balancing of nucleocytoplasmic distribution of cargoes and establishes effective regulation of cargo dynamics by RanGTP.

Interferon-Inducible LINC02605 Promotes Antiviral Innate Responses by Strengthening IRF3 Nuclear Translocation.

Project description:Non-coding RNAs represent a class of important regulators in immune response. Previously, LINC02605 was identified as a candidate regulator in innate immune response by lncRNA microarray assays. In this study, we systematically analyzed the functions and the acting mechanisms of LINC02605 in antiviral innate immune response. LINC02605 was up-regulated by RNA virus, DNA virus, and type I IFNs in NF-κB and Jak-stat dependent manner. Overexpression of LINC02605 promotes RNA virus-induced type I interferon production and inhibited viral replication. Consistently, knockdown of LINC02605 resulted in reduced antiviral immune response and increased viral replication. Mechanistically, LINC02605 released the inhibition of hsa-miR-107 on the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). By microRNA mimics and inhibitors, hsa-miR-107 was demonstrated to not only inhibit PTEN's expression but also negatively regulate the antiviral immune response. Knockdown of LINC02605 led to the reduction of PTEN expression both in mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression of LINC02605 had an opposite impact. Moreover, LINC02605 attenuated the serine 97 phosphorylation level of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) by promoting PTEN expression. Nucleoplasmic fragmentation assay showed that knocking down LINC02605 inhibited the nuclear translocation of IRF3, rendering the host cells more susceptible to viral invasion, while overexpression showed opposite effects. Therefore, LINC02605 is an induced lncRNA by viral infection and plays a positive feedback in antiviral immune response through modulating the nuclear translocation of IRF3.

Interferon regulatory factor 3-CL, an isoform of IRF3, antagonizes activity of IRF3.

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), one member of the IRF family, plays a central role in induction of type I interferon (IFN) and regulation of apoptosis. Controlled activity of IRF3 is essential for its functions. During reverse transcription (RT)-PCR to clone the full-length open reading frame (ORF) of IRF3, we cloned a full-length ORF encoding an isoform of IRF3, termed as IRF3-CL, and has a unique carboxyl-terminus of 125 amino acids. IRF3-CL is ubiquitously expressed in distinct cell lines. Overexpression of IRF3-CL inhibits Sendai virus (SeV)-triggered induction of IFN-? and SeV-induced and inhibitor of NF-?B kinase-? (IKK?)-mediated nuclear translocation of IRF3. When IKK? is overexpressed, IRF3-CL is associated with IRF3. These results suggest that IRF3-CL, the alternative splicing isoform of IRF-3, may function as a negative regulator of IRF3.

Nuclear targeting of Akt antagonizes aspects of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Project description:The serine/threonine kinase Akt regulates cellular survival, proliferation, gene transcription, protein translation, metabolism, and differentiation. Although Akt substrates are found throughout the cell, activated Akt normally accumulates in the nucleus, suggesting that biologically relevant targets are located there. Consequences of nuclear Akt signaling in cardiomyocytes were explored by using nuclear-targeted Akt (Akt-nuc). Accumulation of Akt-nuc did not provoke hypertrophy, unlike constitutively activated Akt. Instead, Akt-nuc inhibited hypertrophy concurrent with increased atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) expression that depended upon phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activity. Akt-nuc antihypertrophic effects were blocked by inhibition of either guanylyl cyclase A receptor or cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase in cultured cardiomyocytes. Corroborating evidence showed blunted acute hypertrophic remodeling in Akt-nuc transgenic mice after transverse aortic constriction coincident with higher ANP expression and smaller myocyte volume. In addition, Akt-nuc expression improved systolic function and survival in the chronic phase of transverse aortic constriction-induced hypertrophy. Thus, Akt-nuc antagonizes certain aspects of hypertrophy through autocrine/paracrine stimulation of a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase-dependent signaling cascade that promotes ANP expression, resulting in a unique combination of prosurvival coupled with antihypertrophic signaling.

Extensive cooperation of immune master regulators IRF3 and NF?B in RNA Pol II recruitment and pause release in human innate antiviral transcription.

Project description:Transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor ?B (NF?B) are activated by external stimuli, including virus infection, to translocate to the nucleus and bind genomic targets important for immunity and inflammation. To investigate RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment and elongation in the human antiviral gene regulatory network, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis was conducted during the initial phase of virus infection. Results reveal extensive integration of IRF3 and NF?B with Pol II and associated machinery and implicate partners for antiviral transcription. Analysis indicates that both de novo polymerase recruitment and stimulated release of paused polymerase work together to control virus-induced gene activation. In addition to known messenger-RNA-encoding loci, IRF3 and NF?B stimulate transcription at regions not previously associated with antiviral transcription, including abundant unannotated loci that encode novel virus-inducible RNAs (nviRNAs). These nviRNAs are widely induced by virus infections in diverse cell types and represent a previously overlooked cellular response to virus infection.

IRF3 and IRF8 Regulate NF-?B Signaling by Targeting MyD88 in Teleost Fish.

Project description:MyD88 is a conserved intracellular adaptor, which plays an important role in the innate immune system. MyD88 transmits signals for downstream of toll-like and IL-1 receptors to activate NF-?B signaling pathway, which is tightly controlled in the immune response to maintain immune intensity and immune homeostasis at different stages. NF-?B signaling pathway has been extensively studied in mammals, but regulatory molecular mechanism is still unclear in teleost fish. We determined that IRF3 and IRF8 can regulate MyD88-mediated NF-?B signaling pathway in fish. Interestingly, MyD88 is precisely regulated by IRF3 and IRF8 through the same mechanism but in completely opposite ways. IRF3 promotes MyD88-mediated NF-?B signaling pathway, whereas IRF8 inhibits the signaling pathway. MyD88 is regulated via ubiquitin-proteasome degradation, whereas IRF3 or IRF8 inhibited or promoted MyD88 degradation in this pathway. Specifically, in the early stage of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation or Vibrio infection, up-regulation of IRF3 and down-regulation of IRF8 eventually increased MyD88 expression to activate the NF-?B signaling pathway to trigger immune response. In the late stage of stimulation, down-regulated IRF3 and up-regulated IRF8 synergistically regulate the expression of MyD88 to a normal level, thus maintaining the immune balance of homeostasis and preventing serious damage from persistent over-immunization. This study presents information on Myd88-NF-?B signaling pathway in teleost fish and provides new insights into its regulatory mechanism in fish immune system.

IRF3 polymorphisms induce different innate anti-Theiler's virus immune responses in RAW264.7 macrophages.

Project description:Persistent viral infections can lead to disease such as myocarditis. Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infects macrophages of SJL/J (H-2s) mice establishing persistent infections leading to demyelinating disease. In contrast macrophages from B10.S (H-2s) mice clear TMEV. Activation of the transcription factor IRF3 induces IFN?, ISG56, and apoptosis for viral clearance, but also inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-23 and IL6, which contribute to disease. Here we identify polymorphisms in the IRF3 of SJL/J versus B10.S mice that are located in DNA binding, nuclear localization, and autoinhibitory domains. SJL-IRF3 expression in RAW264.7 macrophage cells with or without TMEV infection decreased IL-23p19 promoter activity compared with B10S-IRF3. In contrast SJL-IRF3 increased IL-6, ISG56 and IFN? in response to TMEV. B10S-IRF3 expression augmented apoptotic caspase activation and decreased viral RNA in TMEV-infected macrophages while SJL-IRF3 increased viral replication with less caspase activation. Therefore IRF3 polymorphisms contribute to viral persistence and altered cytokine expression.
