An HIV protein mediates immune evasion by targeting cGAS–STING signaling

ABSTRACT: The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) recognizes Y-form cDNA of HIV-1 and initiate the antiviral immune response through cGAS–STING–TBK1–IRF3–type I IFN (IFN-I) signaling cascade. HIV-1 uses several strategies to interfere with the host immune molecules and mediate immune evasion. However, the potential role of HIV-1 proteins in cGAS–STING signaling remains unclear. Here we report that the HIV-1 protein p6 suppresses HIV-1-stimulated expression of IFN-I and promotes the immune evasion. Mechanistically, p6 bound with STING and inhibited the activation of STING and the interaction between STING and TBK1. Moreover, the glutamylation of p6 at Glu6 residue inhibited the interaction between STING and TRIM32 or AMFR, which subsequently suppressed the K27- and K63-linked polyubiquitination of STING at Lys337, therefore inhibited STING activation and type I IFN production, while the mutation of Glu6 residue lost the inhibitory effect. However, CoCl2, an agonist for cytosolic carboxypeptidases (CCPs), counteracted the glutamylation of Glu6 residue of p6 and promoted IFN-I production to block the immune evasion of HIV-1. These findings not only reveal a previously unknown mechanism through which an HIV-1 protein mediate immune evasion, but also provide a new therapeutic drug candidate to treat HIV-1 infection.

The noncanonical cGAS-STING-PERK pathway enables a selective translation program and underlies organ fibrosis

Project description:Innate DNA sensing via the cGAS-STING pathway surveys both microbial invasion and cellular damage, constituting a ubiquitous mechanism for host defense and tissue homeostasis. However, very little is known about the signaling mechanism(s) and physiological impacts downstream of cGAS-STING signaling and independent of the classical TBK1-IRF3-IFN cascade. Here, we identified an unrecognized STING-PERK-eIF2α signaling axis that was specific and controlled cap-dependent translation, a fundamental cellular process. STING, upon activation by 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), robustly bound and directly activated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located kinase PERK, and this process was upstream of IRF3 activation and independent of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and TBK1/IKKε. Innate DNA sensing suppressed global translation programs but selectively ensured the activation of some pathways by PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation and the rapid regulation of protein synthesis, enabling translational modulation of immune responses. Notably, the STING-PERK-eIF2α axis is an evolutionarily primitive component of STING-TBKI-IRF3-IFN signaling and is physiologically critical in pulmonary and renal fibrosis as well as in the regulation of cellular senescence. Therefore, these findings establish the first noncanonical pathway of the cGAS-STING mechanism and demonstrate the physiological importance of this STING-triggered selective translation, which we propose as a promising therapeutic target for fibrotic diseases.

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.

CDK4/6 inhibits the STING signaling axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways in prostate cancer

Project description:The efficacy of immunotherapy in prostate cancer is not satisfactory due to the “cold” tumor microenvironment and the paucity of neoantigens. The STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling axis as core molecules of the innate immune system is increasingly recognized as a candidate target for cancer immunotherapy. Previou studies reported that CDK4/6 inhibitors induced DNA damage to activate the cGAS-STING pathway. However, the underlying mechanisms of how CDK4/6 inactivated the cGAS-STING pathway are still elusive. Here we revealed that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors enhance the anti-tumor effect of STING agonists in prostate cancer cells. Mechanically, CDK4/6 phosphorylated TBK1 at S527 to inactive the STING signaling pathway independent of RB1 in prostate cancer cell. Then, we also found that CDK4/6 phosphorylated RB1 at S249/T252 to induce the interaction of RB1 with TBK1 and diminish the phosphorylation of TBK1 at S172, which also suppresses the activation of the STING pathway. Collectively, we found that CDK4/6 inhibits the STING/TBK1/IRF3 axis through RB1-dependent and RB1-independent pathways in prostate cancer cells. These insights provide the novel evidence for CDK4/6 suppressing the innate immune response of prostate cancer.

RELA tunes innate-like interferon I/III responses in human T cells

Project description:In innate immune cells, intracellular sensors such as cGAS-STING stimulate type I/III interferon (IFN) expression, which promotes antiviral defense and immune activation. However, how IFN-I/III expression is controlled in adaptive cells is poorly understood. Here, we identify a transcriptional rheostat orchestrated by RELA that confers human T cells with innate-like abilities to produce IFN-I/III. Despite intact cGAS-STING signaling, IFN-I/III responses are stunted in CD4+ T cells compared with dendritic cells or macrophages. We find that lysine residues in RELA tune the IFN-I/III response at baseline and in response to STING stimulation in CD4+ T cells. This response requires positive feedback driven by cGAS and IRF7 expression. By combining RELA with IRF3 and DNA demethylation, IFN-I/III production in CD4+ T cells reaches levels observed in dendritic cells. IFN-I/III production provides self-protection of CD4+ T cells against HIV infection and enhances the elimination of tumor cells by CAR T cells. Therefore, innate-like functions can be tuned and leveraged in human T cells.

hnRNPM, ELAVL1, and TBK1 form a type I interferon-inducing multiprotein complex downstream of cGAS and RIG-I

Project description:RIG-I like helicases (RLHs) and cGAS are crucial cytosolic sensors of viral RNA and DNA, respectively, and induce type I IFNs via TBK1/ IKKe. hnRNPM was described to possess antimicrobial activities. Here, we show that hnRNPM promotes TBK1/IRF3 phosphorylation and type I IFN induction downstream of cGAS and RIG-I in THP-1 cells and primary human fibroblasts. Interactome analysis revealed that hnRNPM forms a multiprotein complex with ELAVL1, SON, TBK1, IKKe, IKKb, and NFkB p65. The purified hnRNPM complex enhanced TBK1 phosphorylation. Vice versa, TBK1 directly phosphorylated ELAVL1. hnRNPM, ELAVL1, and TBK1 predominantly interacted in the cytosol close to the nuclear membrane. Of note, patients with mutations in SON suffer from recurrent infections, underlining its biologic significance. To our knowledge, hnRNPM, ELAVL1, and SON represent the first non-redundant signaling components merging the cGAS-STING and RIG-I–MAVS pathways. Therefore, our findings may have implications for host defense and auto-inflammatory diseases.

RNAseq of mouse RAW264.7 macrophages with CRISPR deletion of SGK1, SGK3, or SGK1/3 or treated with SGKi Sanofi-14h with or without DMXAA stimulation.

Project description:The STING signaling pathway is essential for the innate immune response to DNA viruses and bacteria and is important in tumor immunity. STING binding to cGAMP or to synthetic agonists leads to the activation of the kinase TBK1 which phosphorylates the transcription factor IRF3 which promotes expression of type 1 interferons such as IFNb to block viral activity. Aberrant type 1 IFN expression is associated with human diseases including autoimmunity, HIV, and cancer. Here we identify N-[4-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b] pyrazin-6-yl)-phenyl]-sulfonamide (Sanofi-14h), a compound with preference for inhibition of the AGC family kinase SGK3, as an inhibitor of IFNb gene expression in response to STING stimulation of macrophages. Sanofi-14h abrogated SGK activity and also impaired activation of the critical TBK1/IRF3 pathway downstream of STING activation, notably blocking the ligand-induced interaction of STING with TBK1. Deletion of SGK1 and SGK3 in macrophages suppressed activation of IFNb transcription but did not block TBK1/IRF3 activation downstream of STING. Gene and protein expression analysis revealed that deletion of SGK1/3 in a macrophage cell line decreases basal expression of critical transcription factors required for the innate immune response, such as IRF7 and STAT1. Additional studies reveal that other AGC kinase inhibitors block TBK1 and IRF3 activation suggesting common action on a critical regulatory node in the STING pathway. Thus, studies with Sanofi-14h have revealed both SGK-dependent and SGK-independent effects in the STING pathway and suggest a mechanism to alter type 1 IFN transcription through small molecule therapy

Cyclic-Di-Nucleotides Trigger ULK1 (ATG1) Phosphorylation of STING to Prevent Sustained Innate Immune Signaling

Project description:Activation of the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway by microbial or self-DNA, as well as cyclic di nucleotides (CDN), results in the induction of numerous genes that suppress pathogen replication and facilitate adaptive immunity. However, sustained gene transcription is rigidly prevented to avoid lethal STING-dependent pro-inflammatory disease by mechanisms that remain unknown. We demonstrate here that after autophagy-dependent STING delivery of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1) to endosomal/lysosomal compartments and activation of transcription factors IRF3 (interferon regulatory factors 3) and NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa beta), that STING is subsequently phosphorylated by serine/threonine UNC-51-like kinase (ULK1/ATG1) and IRF3 function is suppressed. ULK1 activation occurred following disassociation from its repressor adenine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), and was elicited by CDN’S generated by the cGAMP synthase, cGAS. Thus, while CDN’s may initially facilitate STING function, they subsequently trigger negative-feedback control of STING activity, thus preventing the persistent transcription of innate immune genes. Total RNA obtained from primary STING deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast reconstituted with mSTING (W), S365A variant (A), or S365D variant (D). These cells were transfected with dsDNA (ISD) for 3 hours.
