Lnc-EAPV binding proteins in C57BL/6J BMDMs

ABSTRACT: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are transposable elements that cause host genome instability and usually play deleterious roles such as tumorigenesis. Recent advances also suggest that this 'enemy within' may encode viral mimic to induce antiviral immune responses through viral sensors. Here, through whole genome RNA-seq we discovered a full-length ERV-derived long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), designated lnc-EPAV (ERV-derived lncRNA positively regulates antiviral responses), as a positive regulator of NF-κB signaling. Lnc-EPAV expression was rapidly up-regulated by viral RNA mimic or RNA viruses to facilitate the expression of RELA, an NF-κB subunit that plays a critical role in antiviral responses. In turn, RELA promoted the transcription of lnc-EPAV to form a positive feedback loop. Transcriptome analysis of lnc-EPAV-silenced macrophages, combined with gain- and loss-of-function experiments, showed that lnc-EPAV was critical for induction of type I interferon (IFN) and inflammatory cytokine expression by RNA viruses. Consistently, lnc-EPAV-deficient mice exhibited reduced expression of type I IFNs, and consequently increased viral loads and mortality following lethal RNA virus infection. Mechanistically, lnc-EPAV promoted expression of RELA by competitively binding to and displacing SFPQ, a transcriptional repressor of RELA. The binding between ERV-derived RNAs and SFPQ also existed in human cells. Altogether, our work demonstrates an alternative mechanism by which ERVs regulate antiviral immune responses.

SFPQ interacted proteins in HEK293T nucleus and cytoplasm

Project description:Splicing factor proline and glutamine rich (SFPQ), DNA- and RNA binding protein, is crucial in various nuclear processes, including paraspeckle formation, miRNA synthesis and specially in transcription regulation. In addition, SFPQ play a role in the innate immune response to viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses. However, the connections between SFPQ and EMCV infection remain unclear. Here we report that the SFPQ is essential for EMCV replication. Depletion of SFPQ impairs EMCV production, while forced expression of SFPQ could promote viral replication. Mechanistically, EMCV inhibited viral RNA-mediated type I IFN and IL6 production to eliminate host antiviral immune responses. Cellular SFPQ was cleaved by the EMCV proteinase then entered the cytoplasm and interacted with other ribosomal proteins to facilitate its internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent translation. Moreover, loss of SFPQ may impress host translation related gene expression and thus facilitate the EMCV replication. Altogether, our work provides a possible target for resisting EMCV or EMCV-like virus’s infection.

DNA Demethylation promotes ERV expression and activation of immune signaling in renal cell cancer cells

Project description:Recently, we reported that expression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), a class of transposable element, is associated with response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Aberrant expression of ERVs can activate host antiviral responses, as well as produce neoantigens. ERV expression is repressed by DNA methylation and can be activated by DNA hypomethylating agents. Here, we investigate whether Decitabine, a DNA hypomethylating agent, can activate ERV expression and host antiviral defenses in RCC to potentially enhance response to ICB. Decitabine induced expression of ERV3-2 and ERV4700 in RCC cells lines, which was accompanied by activation of host antiviral defense genes and increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines. We validated this effect in primary human RCC cell lines. Knockout of RIG-I and MDA5 dsRNA sensors attenuated activation of antiviral responses associated with Decitabine treatment, and RIG-I and MDA5 immunoprecipitations showed increased ERV binding in RCC cells treated with Decitabine. Bioinformatic analysis of RNAseq data showed the Decitabine-induced gene signature could be associated with increased CD8 infiltration and response to ICB. Conditioned media from Decitabine treated RCC cells was capable of inducing host anti-viral defense in naïve RCC cells and could modestly improve activation of T-cells from healthy donors. Further, conditioned media from RCC cells treated with Decitabine significantly enhanced T-cell migration. In a small retrospective cohort of metastatic RCC patients treated with single-agent PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, activation of some host antiviral defense genes was significantly higher in responders compared with nonresponders. Thus, modulation of ERV expression by Decitabine to activate host antiviral defenses could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to enhance RCC patient response to immune checkpoint blockade.

Determination of dsRNA interactome upon Sindbis virus infection in human cells identifies SFPQ as a critical proviral factor

Project description:Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, which depend on the host cellular machineries to replicate their genome and complete their infectious cycle. Long double stranded (ds)RNA is a common viral by-product originating during RNA virus replication, which is universally sensed as a danger signal to trigger the antiviral response. As a result, viruses hide dsRNA intermediates into viral replication factories and have evolved strategies to hijack cellular proteins for their benefit. The characterization of the host factors associated to viral dsRNA and involved in viral replication remains a major challenge to develop new antiviral drugs against RNA viruses. Here, we performed anti-dsRNA immunoprecipitation followed by Mass Spectrometry to fully characterize the dsRNA interactome in Sindbis virus (SINV) infected human HCT116 cells. Among the validated factors, we characterized SFPQ (Splicing factor, proline-glutamine rich) as a new dsRNA-associated factor upon SINV infection. We proved that SFPQ is able to directly bind dsRNAs in vitro, that SFPQ association to dsRNA is independent on single-stranded (ss)RNA flanking regions in vivo and that it is able to bind the viral genome upon infection. Furthermore, we showed that either knock-down or knock-out of SFPQ reduced SINV infection in human HCT116 and SKNBE cells, suggesting that SFPQ could enhance viral replication. Overall, this study not only represents a resource to further study SINV dsRNA-associated factors upon infection but also identifies SFPQ as a new proviral dsRNA binding protein.

SETDB1 Represses Endogenous and Exogenous Retroviruses in B Lymphocytes [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Genome stability relies on epigenetic mechanisms that enforce repression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Current evidence suggests that distinct chromatin-based mechanisms repress ERVs in cells of embryonic origin (histone methylation-dominant) versus more differentiated cells (DNA methylation-dominant). However, the latter aspect of this model has not been tested. Remarkably, and in contrast to the prevailing model, we find that repressive histone methylation catalyzed by the enzyme SETDB1 is critical for suppression of specific ERV families and exogenous retroviruses in committed B-lineage cells from adult mice. The profile of ERV activation in SETDB1-deficient B cells is distinct from that observed in corresponding embryonic tissues, despite the loss of repressive chromatin modifications at all ERVs. We provide evidence that, upon loss of SETDB1, ERVs are activated in a lineage-specific manner depending on the set of transcription factors available to target proviral regulatory elements. These findings have important implications for genome stability in somatic cells, as well as the interface between epigenetic repression and viral latency.

KAP1-mediated epigenetic suppression in anti-RNA viral responses by direct targeting RIG-I and MDA5

Project description:Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), including RIG-I (encoded by Ddx58) and MDA5 (melanoma-differentiation-associated gene 5, encoded by Ifih1), are crucial for initiating antiviral responses. Endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) are transposable elements derived from exogenous retrovirus that integrated into the genome. KRAB-associated protein 1 (KAP1) is a master epigenetic suppressor of ERVs, and thereby protects cells from detrimental genome instability. Increased ERV transcripts are sensed by RLRs and trigger innate immune signaling. However, whether KAP1 could directly control RLRs activity remain unclear. Here we show that KAP1 attenuates RNA viral infection induced type I IFNs and facilitates viral replication by inhibiting RIG-I/MDA5 expression in primary peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6J mice. Kap1 deficiency increased IFN-β expression and inhibited VSV replication in C57BL/6J mice in vivo. Mechanistically, KAP1 binds to the promoter regions of Ddx58 and Ifih1, and promotes the establishment of repressive histone marks in primary peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6J mice. Concordantly, KAP1 suppresses the expression of RIG-I and MDA5 at transcriptional level in primary peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6J mice. Our results establish that KAP1 epigenetically suppresses host antiviral responses by direct targeting RIG-1 and MDA5, and thus facilitates the immune escape of RNA viruses.

Hijacking of transcriptional condensates by endogenous retroviruses

Project description:Heterochromatin plays essential roles in repressing retrotransposons, e.g. endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) during mammalian development, but the contribution of retrotransposition to lethality observed in embryonic cells deficient for heterochromatin-mediated ERV repression is poorly understood. Here we report that selective degradation of the TRIM28 heterochromatin adapter protein leads to reduced association of transcriptional condensates with loci encoding super-enhancer -driven pluripotency genes in embryonic stem cells, a collapse of the pluripotency transcriptional circuit, and a pre-lethal restriction of pluripotent lineages in mouse embryos. De-repressed ERVs recruit transcriptional condensates in the absence of TRIM28, and ERV RNA facilitates condensation of RNA Polymerase II in vitro. We propose that retrotransposons contribute to the genomic distribution of nuclear condensates, and that RNA species may facilitate “hijacking” of transcriptional condensates in various developmental and disease contexts.

Stem Cell Activity-Coupled Suppression of Endogenous Retrovirus Governs Adult Tissue Regeneration

Project description:Mammalian retrotransposons constitute 40% of the genome. During tissue regeneration, adult stem cells coordinately repress retrotransposons and activate lineage genes, but how this coordination is controlled is poorly understood. Here, we observed that dynamic expression of histone methyltransferase SETDB1 (a retrotransposon repressor) closely mirrors stem cell activities in the murine skin. SETDB1 ablation leads to reactivation of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs, a type of retrotransposon) and assembly of viral-like particles, resulting in hair loss and stem cell exhaustion that is reversible by antiviral drugs. Mechanistically, at least two molecularly and spatially distinct pathways are responsible: antiviral defense mediated by hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, and antiviral independent response due to replication stress in transient amplifying cells. ERV reactivation is promoted by DNA demethylase TET-mediated hydroxymethylation and recapitulated by ablating cell fate transcription factors. Together, we demonstrated ERV silencing is coupled with stem cell activity and essential for adult hair regeneration.
