E. fischeriana root compound Dpo activates antiviral innate immunity

ABSTRACT: E. fischeriana has long been used as a traditional Chinese medicine.Recent studies reported that some compounds of E. fischeriana exhibited antimicrobial and immune enhance activity. Innate immune system is essential for the immune surveillance of inner and outer threats, initial host defense responses and immune modulation. The role of natural drug compounds, including E. fischeriana, in innate immune regulation is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that E. fischeriana compound Dpo is involved in antiviral signaling. The genome wide RNA-seq analysis revealed that Dpo synergized the induction of ISGs by viral infection. Consistently, Dpo enhanced the antiviral immune responses and protected the mice from death during viral infection. Dpo however was not able to rescue STING deficient mice lethality caused by HSV-1 infection. The enhancement of ISG15 by Dpo was also impaired in STING, IRF3, IRF7 or ELF4 deficient cells, demonstrating that Dpo activates innate immune responses in a STING/IRFs/ELF4 dependent way. The STING/IRFs/ELF4 axis is therefore important for Dpo induced ISGs expression, and can be used by host to counteract infection.

Proteome of HEK293T cells upon P2YR6 overexpression

Project description:Defense against virus infections relies on rapid and massive engagement of cellular proteins with antiviral properties. Germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) sense the presence of pathogens and initiate a signaling cascade leading to the induction of antiviral cytokines, including type-I interferons. IFN-alpha/beta bind to the IFN receptor (IFNAR), initiating signaling that culminates in the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In sum, viral infection triggers the expression of several hundred proteins covering a wide range of biological activities. Among these proteins are PRRs (e.g. RIG-I, MDA5, TLRs), signaling molecules (e.g. MYD88, MAVS), transcription factors (e.g. IRFs, STATs) and proteins with direct antiviral functions (e.g. MX proteins, IFITs), as well as negative regulators of immune responses (e.g. SOCS proteins, DAPK1) that prevent overshooting of immune reactions. ISGs are thus a heterogeneous group of proteins that serve different purposes related to direct antiviral defense and immune regulation.

cGAS Senses Translation Stress Through Direct Binding to Ribosomes

Project description:The cGAS-STING pathway, a central component of the innate immune system, senses cytosolic DNA and induces interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) to mediate inflammation. Here we report the unexpected discovery that cGAS senses dysfunctional protein production. Purified ribosomes interact with and stimulate the catalytic activity of recombinant cGAS in vitro. Disruption of the ribosome-associated protein quality control pathway, which detects and resolves ribosome collisions, results in cGAS- and STING-dependent ISG expression, and causes the re-localization of cGAS from the nucleus to the cytosol. Indeed, cGAS preferentially binds collided ribosomes in vitro, and other orthogonal perturbations that lead to elevated levels of collided ribosomes cause re-localization of cGAS as well. Thus, the cGAS-STING pathway senses and responds to translation stress. These findings have implications for the inflammatory responses to viral infection and tumorigenesis, both of which substantially reprogram cellular protein synthesis.

Interferon Regulatory Factors: IRF1 and IRF7 directly regulate gene expression in bats in response to viral infection.

Project description:Bat cells and tissue have elevated basal expression levels of antiviral genes commonly associated with IFNα signalling. Here we show IRF1,3 and 7 levels are elevated in most bat tissues and that basally, IRFs contribute to the expression of type I IFN ligands and high expression of Interferon Regulated Genes (IRGs). CRISPR KO of IRF 1/3/7 in cells reveal distinct subsets of genes affected by each IRF in an IFN-ligand signalling dependent and largely independent manner. As the master regulators of innate immunity, the IRFs, control the kinetics and maintenance of the IRG response and play essential roles in response to IAV, HSV1, PRV3M and MERS-CoV infection. With its differential expression compared to human, this highlights a critical role for basal IRF expression in viral responses and potentially immune cell development in bats with relevance for IRF function in human biology.

IL-1B signaling in dendritic cells induces antiviral interferon responses

Project description:Activation of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) responses is critical for control of viral infection. We recently identified that stimulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and mobilization of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β act as critical host restrictive pathways against West Nile virus (WNV) in a mechanism dependent on the regulation of ISGs. In order to define the mechanism by which IL-1β regulates these antiviral immune programs, we utilized global transcriptome analysis in myeloid cells, known targets of WNV replication to define gene signatures required for IL-1β driven antiviral responses. Surprisingly, we found IL-1β dependent activation of interferon-beta (IFN-β) and ISGs at late times following IL-1β treatment. Expression of these antiviral innate immune genes was found to be dependent on activation of IRF3 and appears to reflect a general shift in IL-1β signaling from an inflammatory response early following treatment to an anti-inflammatory type-I IFN mediated response at later times post-treatment. These data demonstrate that inflammatory and antiviral signals integrate to control viral infection. Strategies to co-opt these cytokine activated antiviral signatures can act as novel targeted therapeutic strategies tailored specifically to individual pathogens.

Experimental and natural evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced activation of type I interferon responses

Project description:Two highly pathogenic human coronaviruses that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) have evolved proteins that can inhibit host antiviral responses, likely contributing to disease progression and high case-fatality rates. SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2019 to cause a global pandemic. Recent studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 is unable to induce a robust type I interferon (IFN) response in human cells, leading to speculations about the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to inhibit innate antiviral responses. However, innate antiviral responses are dynamic in nature and gene expression levels rapidly change within minutes to hours. In this study, we have performed a time series RNA-seq analysis to identify early virus-host processes. SARS-CoV-2 infection upregulated transcripts for type I IFNs and interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) after 12 hours. Furthermore, we analyzed the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to inhibit type I IFN production and downstream antiviral signaling in human cells. Using exogenous stimuli, we discovered that SARS-CoV-2 is unable to modulate IFNb production and downstream expression of ISGs, such as IRF7 and IFIT1. Thus, data from our study indicate that SARS-CoV-2 may have evolved additional mechanisms, such as masking its nucleic acid from cellular immune response sensors to mount a dampened innate antiviral response. Further studies are required to fully identify the range of immune-modulatory strategies of SARS-CoV-2.

β-arrestin 2 as an activator of cGAS-STING signaling and target of viral immune evasion

Project description:Virus infection may induce excessive interferon (IFN) responses that can lead to host tissue injury or even death. β-arrestin 2 regulates multiple cellular events through the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways. Here we demonstrate that β-arrestin 2 also promotes virus-induced production of IFN-β and clearance of viruses in macrophages. β-arrestin 2 interacts with cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and increases the binding of dsDNA to cGAS to enhance cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) production and the downstreatm stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and innate immune responses. Mechanistically, deacetylation of β-arrestin 2 at Lys171 facilitates the activation of the cGAS–STING signaling and the production of IFN-β. In vitro, viral infection induces the degradation of β-arrestin 2 to facilitate immune evasion, while a β-blocker, carvedilol, rescues β-arrestin 2 expression to maintain the antiviral immune response. Our results thus identify a viral immune-evasion pathway via the degradation of β-arrestin 2, and also hint that carvedilol, approved for treating heart failure, can potentially be repurposed as an antiviral drug candidate.

Viperin restricts viral replication by serving as a translational regulator

Project description:Innate immune responses induce hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), many of which play an important role in antiviral immunity. Viperin, a member of the radical SAM superfamily of enzymes, is the product of one such ISG and it restricts the replication of a broad spectrum of DNA and RNA viruses. However, a general mechanism that explains all the roles proposed for viperin in the innate immune response remains to be defined. Here we report a previously unknown antiviral mechanism, in which viperin represses translation of viral RNA. We show that viperin interacts with the translation machinery and, primarily through its radical SAM enzymatic activity, inhibits global translation during the interferon response by activating the eIF2 pathway. In cell based-infection assays, viperin inhibits viral protein synthesis and viral replication of Zika virus and Kunjin virus. This study illustrates the importance of translational repression in the antiviral response and identifies viperin as a central translational regulator in innate immunity.

CK1α suppresses autoimmunity by restraining the cGAS-STING signaling

Project description:Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), the central hub protein of the cGAS-STING signaling, is essential for type I IFN production of innate immunity. However, prolonged or excessive activation of STING is highly related to autoimmune diseases, most of which exhibit the hallmark of elevated expression of type I interferons and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Thus, the activity of STING must be stringently controlled to maintain immune homeostasis. Here, we reported that CK1α, a protein serine/threonine kinase, was essential to prevent the over-activation of STING-mediated type I IFN signaling through autophagic degradation of STING. Mechanistically, CK1α interacted with STING upon the cGAS-STING pathway activation and promoted STING autophagic degradation by enhancing the phosphorylation of p62 at serine 349, which was critical for p62 mediated STING autophagic degradation. Consistently, SSTC3, a selective CK1α agonist, significantly attenuated the response of the cGAS-STING signaling by promoting STING autophagic degradation. Importantly, pharmaceutical activation of CK1α using SSTC3 markedly repressed the systemic autoinflammatory responses in the Trex1-/- mouse autoimmune disease model and effectively suppressed the production of IFNs and ISGs in the PBMCs of SLE patients. Taken together, our study reveals a novel regulatory role of CK1α in the autophagic degradation of STING to maintain immune homeostasis. Manipulating CK1α through SSTC3 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating STING-mediated aberrant type I IFNs in autoimmune diseases.

Neddylation modification on cGAS of human and mouse

Project description:The cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthetase (cGAS) has emerged as a fundamental component fueling the anti-pathogen immunity. Because of its pivotal role in initiating innate immune response, the activity of cGAS must be tightly fine-tuned to maintain immune homeostasis in antiviral response. Here, we reported that neddylation modification was indispensable for appropriate cGAS-STING signaling activation. Blocking neddylation pathway using neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 substantially impaired the induction of type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokines, which was selectively dependent on Nedd8 E2 enzyme Ube2m. We further found that deficiency of the Nedd8 E3 ligase Rnf111 greatly attenuated DNA-triggered cGAS activation while not affecting cGAMP induced activation of STING, demonstrating that Rnf111 was the Nedd8 E3 ligase of cGAS. We further identified Lys231 and Lys421 as the key neddylation sites in human cGAS. Mechanistically, Rnf111 interacted with and polyneddylated cGAS, which in turn promoted its dimerization and enhanced the DNA-binding ability, leading to proper cGAS-STING pathway activation. In the same line, the Ube2m or Rnf111 deficiency mice exhibited severe defects in innate immune response and were susceptible to HSV-1 infection. Collectively, our study uncovered a vital role of the Ube2m-Rnf111 neddylation axis in promoting the activity of the cGAS-STING pathway and highlighted the importance of neddylation modification in antiviral defense.
