Project description:In vertebrates, the presence of viral RNA in the cytosol is sensed by members of the RIG-I like receptor (RLR) family , which signal to induce production of type I interferons (IFN). These key anti-viral cytokines act in a paracrine and autocrine manner to induce hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), whose protein products restrict viral entry, replication and budding. ISGs include the RLRs themselves: RIG-I, MDA5 and the least-studied family member, LGP2. In contrast, the IFN system is absent in plants and invertebrates, which defend themselves from viral intruders using RNA interference (RNAi). In RNAi, the endoribonuclease Dicer cleaves virus-derived double stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that target complementary viral RNA for cleavage. Interestingly, the RNAi machinery is conserved in mammals and we have recently demonstrated that it is able to participate in mammalian antiviral defence in conditions in which the IFN system is suppressed. In contrast, when the IFN system is active, one or more ISGs act to mask or suppress antiviral RNAi. Here, we demonstrate that LGP2 constitutes one of the ISGs that can inhibit antiviral RNAi in mammals. We identify Dicer as an LGP2-associated protein and show that LGP2 inhibits Dicer cleavage of dsRNA into siRNAs both in vitro and in vivo. Further, we show that in cells lacking an IFN response, ectopic expression of LGP2 interferes with RNAi-dependent suppression of gene expression. Thus, the inefficiency of RNAi as a mechanism of antiviral defence in mammalian somatic cells can be in part attributed to Dicer inhibition by LGP2 induced by type I IFNs.

Project description:The RIG-I like receptor pathway is stimulated during RNA virus infection by interaction between cytosolic RIG-I and viral RNA structures that contain short hairpin dsRNA and 5M-bM-^@M-^Y triphosphate (5M-bM-^@M-^Yppp) terminal structure. In the present study, an RNA agonist of RIG-I was synthesized in vitro and shown to stimulate RIG-I-dependent antiviral responses at concentrations in the picomolar range. In human lung epithelial A549 cells, 5M-bM-^@M-^YpppRNA specifically stimulated multiple parameters of the innate antiviral response, including IRF3, IRF7 and STAT1 activation, andinduction of inflammatory and interferon stimulated genes - hallmarks of a fully functional antiviral response. Evaluation of the magnitude and duration of gene expression by transcriptional profiling identified a robust, sustained and diversified antiviral and inflammatory response characterized by enhanced pathogen recognition and interferon (IFN)signaling. Bioinformatics analysis further identified a transcriptional signature uniquely induced by 5M-bM-^@M-^YpppRNA, and not by IFNM-NM-1-2bthat included a constellation of IRF7 and NF-kB target genes capable of mobilizing multiple arms of the innate and adaptive immune response. Treatment of primary PBMCs or lung epithelial A549 cells with 5M-bM-^@M-^YpppRNA provided significant protection against a spectrum of RNA and DNA viruses. In C57Bl/6 mice, intravenous administration of 5M-bM-^@M-^YpppRNA protected animals from a lethal challenge with H1N1 Influenza, reduced virus titers in mouse lungs and protected animals from virus-induced pneumonia. Strikingly, the RIG-I-specific transcriptional response afforded partial protection from influenza challenge, even in the absence of type I interferon signaling. This systems approach providestranscriptional, biochemical, and in vivo analysis of the antiviral efficacy of 5M-bM-^@M-^YpppRNA and highlights the therapeutic potential associated with the use of RIG-I agonists as broad spectrum antiviral agents. Kinetic analysis of A549 cells treated with 5'pppRNA and analyzed at 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 24h or 48h.

Project description:Internal N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is one of the most common and abundant modifications in eukaryotic cells as well as in viruses. However, the biological role(s) of RNA m6A in virus-host interaction remains elusive. Using human metapneumovirus (hMPV), a medically important non-segmented negative-sense RNA virus as a model, we demonstrate that m6A serves as a molecular marker for innate immune discrimination self and nonself RNAs. We show that hMPV RNAs are m6A methylated and that viral m6A methylation promotes hMPV replication and gene expression. HMPV infection leads to differential expression of interferon-related genes involved in innate immune signaling pathways. Inactivating these m6A sites with synonymous mutations resulted in m6A deficient recombinant hMPVs that induced significantly higher expression of type I interferon that restricted viral replication. Notably, the induction of type I interferons by m6A-deficient rhMPVs and virion RNA was dependent on the cytoplasmic RNA sensor RIG-I, not MDA5. Mechanistically, m6A-deficient virion RNA induces higher expression of RIG-I, enhances its binding affinity to RIG-I, and facilitates the conformational change of RIG-I, leading to enhanced induction of type I IFN expression. The replication of m6A-deficient rhMPVs was attenuated in wild type A459 cells but was restored in cells knocked out for RIG-I and MAVS. Furthermore, m6A-deficient rhMPVs triggered higher type I interferon in vivo and were significantly attenuated in the lower respiratory tract yet retained high immunogenicity in cotton rats. Collectively, our results highlight that (i) virus acquires m6A in their RNAs as a means of mimicking cellular RNA to avoid the detection by innate immunity; and (ii) viral m6A RNA can serve as a novel target to attenuate hMPV for vaccine purposes.

Project description:HIV-1 Tat can modulate the expression of both HIV and cellular genes. In antigen-presenting cells Tat induces the expression of a subset of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the absence of interferons (IFNs). We investigated the genome-wide Tat association with cellular promoters in immature dendritic cells (iDC) and in monocyte derived macrophages (MDM). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of Tat together with chromatin profiling by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that Tat associates with the MAP2K6 and MAP2K3 promoters and mediates its increase, which also affects the induction of some ISGs. comparison of KG-1 cells expressing tTA control vs Tat or mutant TatSF2G48R57A

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.

Project description:We identified a small molecule compound, KIN1148, that directly binds RIG-I to drive IRF3 and NF B activation and expression of innate immune genes, cytokines and chemokines. KIN1148 activates RIG-I in an RNA- and ATP-independent manner and does not induce a canonical antiviral interferon (IFN) gene program traditionally associated with RIG-I activation. When administered in combination with a vaccine against influenza A virus (IAV), KIN1148 induces both neutralizing antibody and broadly cross-protective IAV-specific T cell responses compared to vaccination alone, which induces poor responses. In this study, we demonstrate that KIN1148 directly engages RIG-I to activate IRF3- and NFB-dependent innate immune responses, making it the first small molecule RIG-I agonist to be identified. Biochemical studies show that KIN1148 binds to RIG-I to drive RIG-I self-oligomerization and downstream signaling activation in an RNA- and ATP-independent manner. We further find that transcriptional programs induced by KIN1148 treatment exhibit shared and unique signatures to that induced by other methods of RIG-I activation, including Sendai virus (SeV) infection and PAMP RNA transfection. KIN1148 adjuvants a split virus (SV) vaccine at suboptimal dose to protect mice from lethal challenge with a recombinant highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza virus, A/Vietnam/1203/2004.

Project description:The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs: RIG-I, MDA5 and LGP2) trigger inflammatory and antiviral responses by sensing non-self RNA molecules produced during viral replication. LGP2 regulation of RIG-I and MDA5-dependant type-I interferon signaling is a matter of controversy. Here we show that LGP2 interacts with different components of the RNA silencing machinery. Particularly, we identified a direct protein-protein interaction between LGP2 and interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A (PACT). The LGP2-PACT interaction is mediated by the regulatory C-terminal domain of LGP2 and is necessary for inhibiting the RIG-I- and amplifying the MDA5-responses. We describe a point mutation within LGP2 that disrupts LGP2-PACT interaction and leads to the loss of LGP2 regulatory activity over RIG-I and MDA5. These results provide a model in which PACT-LGP2 interaction regulates RIG-I and MDA5 inflammatory response and allows cellular RNA silencing machinery to coordinate the innate immune response.

Project description:As RIG-I activation induces potent IFN-I responses,we analyzed the role of IFN-I in intestinal tissue protection and prevention of GVHD. We performed RNA sequencing with tissue samples from SI of WT mice that received TBI -/+ previous 3pRNA treatment and -/+ antibody-mediated blockade of IFNAR. Application of 3pRNA before TBI resulted in a significant increase of IFN-inducible genes in the SI as compared to solely irradiated mice. Blockade of IFNAR signaling abrogated 3pRNA-mediated up-regulation of IFN-induced genes, demonstrating that RIG-I-induced gene-regulation depends on IFN-I.
