Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:654-664. [PMID: 35878672 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Autophagy, a conserved cellular degradative process, plays a crucial role in innate immunity during viral infections. Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a leading cause of fish diseases with morbidity and mortality, triggers cell autophagy to promote viral replication; however, the details of how NNV utilises autophagy to facilitate its own replication remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which the sea perch Nectin4 (LjNectin4), a receptor of NNV, regulates autophagy and the innate immune system by targeting TNFR-associated factor 3 (TRAF3). Our data demonstrated that LjNectin4 directly binds to the NNV capsid protein and facilitates NNV entry, indicating that LjNectin4 functions as an NNV receptor. Moreover, LjNectin4 promoted NNV replication by inhibiting key elements of the RLR signalling pathway (MDA5, MAVS, TRAF3, TBK1, and IRF3)-induced IFN response. Mechanistically, LjNectin4 directly interacted with TRAF3 and promoted its autophagy-mediated lysosomal degradation. Domain mapping of the interaction between TRAF3 and LjNectin4 or TBK1 showed that both LjNectin4 and TBK1 interacted with the ZF2 and TRAF-C domains of TRAF3, suggesting that LjNectin4 blocked TRAF3-TBK1 complex formation. Collectively, our study revealed that NNV utilises LjNectin4 to suppress IFN production by mediating TRAF3 autophagic degradation and disrupting the TRAF3-TBK1 complex, thereby promoting NNV replication.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is currently under intensive investigation as a potential breakthrough treatment option for glioblastoma. Given the anatomical and immunological complexities surrounding glioblastoma, lymphocytes that infiltrate the brain to develop durable immunity with memory will be key. Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid, or poly(I:C), and its derivative poly-ICLC could serve as a priming or boosting therapy to unleash lymphocytes and other factors in the (immuno)therapeutic armory against glioblastoma. Here, we present a systematic review on the effects and efficacy of poly(I:C)/poly-ICLC for glioblastoma treatment, ranging from preclinical work on cellular and murine glioblastoma models to reported and ongoing clinical studies. MEDLINE was searched until 15 May 2021 to identify preclinical (glioblastoma cells, murine models) and clinical studies that investigated poly(I:C) or poly-ICLC in glioblastoma. A systematic review approach was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. ClinicalTrials.gov was queried for ongoing clinical studies. Direct pro-tumorigenic effects of poly(I:C) on glioblastoma cells have not been described. On the contrary, poly(I:C) changes the immunological profile of glioblastoma cells and can also kill them directly. In murine glioblastoma models, poly(I:C) has shown therapeutic relevance as an adjuvant therapy to several treatment modalities, including vaccination and immune checkpoint blockade. Clinically, mostly as an adjuvant to dendritic cell or peptide vaccines, poly-ICLC has been demonstrated to be safe and capable of eliciting immunological activity to boost therapeutic responses. Poly-ICLC could be a valuable tool to enhance immunotherapeutic approaches for glioblastoma. We conclude by proposing several promising combination strategies that might advance glioblastoma immunotherapy and discuss key pre-clinical aspects to improve clinical translation.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of man with over 400,000 cases in the United States and over 2.5 million cases worldwide. There are over 64,000 citations in Pubmed dating back as far as 1887. Much has been learned over the past 129 years with a recent burst in therapeutic options (mostly anti-inflammatory) with newer medications in development that are neuroprotective and/or neuroreparative. However, with all these advancements the cause of MS remains elusive. There is a clear interplay of genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors that influences both the development and progression of this disorder. This chapter will give a brief overview of the history and pathogenesis of MS with attention to how host immune responses in genetically susceptible individuals contribute to the MS disease process. In addition, we will explore the role of infectious agents in MS as potential “triggers” of disease. Models of virus-induced demyelination will be discussed, with an emphasis on the recent interest in human herpesviruses and the role they may play in MS disease pathogenesis. Although we remain circumspect as to the role of any microbial pathogen in MS, we suggest that only through well-controlled serological, cellular immune, molecular, and animal studies we will be able to identify candidate agents. Ultimately, clinical interventional trials that either target a specific pathogen or class of pathogens will be required to make definitive links between the suspected agent and MS.

Abstract
The pestivirus bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is known to bind to the CD46 molecule, which subsequently promotes entry of the virus. Mapping of the BVD-virion-binding site has shown that two peptides, 66EQIV69 and 82GQVLAL87, located on antiparallel beta sheets in the most distal complement control protein module (CCP1), provide the attachment platform. In the present study, we reveal the existence of ten distinct allelic versions of the CCP1 module, varying significantly in frequency among taurine and indicine races. A complex mRNA splicing pattern was also evidenced for bovine CD46, generating three different serine-threonine-proline segments and five different cytoplasmic domains. The four most frequent allelic variants and the six splice variants were then expressed in BVDV-nonpermissive porcine cells and the quantity of progeny virions generated by each cell preparation was measured 48 h post-infection. As expected, ectopic expression of the 10 bovine CD46 isoforms rendered the PK15 cells permissive to BVDV, as attested by the 100,000-fold greater recovery of virions from these cells than from non-transfected cells. This permissivity increase was significantly lower (-33%, P<0.001) when the canonical CCP1 was replaced with the variant most frequent in zebus, suggesting positive or negative selection of this allele in the latter and in the former, respectively. The predicted secondary structure of this variant suggests that the measured loss of function is due to the disappearance of one of the two beta sheets constituting the BVDV attachment platform. On the other hand we showed that for a given CCP1, the titer recovered at 48 hpi also depended on the nature of the CD46 cytoplasmic domain (P<0.001). This result implies that virus binding generates a cytoplasmic-tail-dependent outside-in signal that determines permissivity to BVDV.

Abstract
Known as a link to the adaptive immune system, a complement regulator, a "pathogen magnet" and more recently as an inducer of autophagy, CD46 is the human receptor that refuses to be put in a box. This review summarizes the current roles of CD46 during immune responses and highlights the role of CD46 as both a promoter and attenuator of the immune response. In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), CD46 responses are overwhelmingly pro-inflammatory with notable defects in cytokine and chemokine production. Understanding the role of CD46 as an inflammatory regulator is a distant goal considering the darkness in which its regulatory mechanisms reside. Further research into the regulation of CD46 expression through its internalization and processing will undoubtedly extend our knowledge of how the balance is tipped in favor of inflammation in MS patients.

Abstract
The morbilliviruses are a closely related genus which are very similar in their sequences and share a common receptor, but nevertheless show significant restriction in the host species in which they cause disease. One contribution to this restriction might be the nature of the hosts' responses to infection. We have used microarrays to study the changes in the transcriptome of bovine dendritic cells after infection with wild-type (pathogenic) and vaccine (apathogenic) strains of rinderpest virus (RPV), a bovine pathogen, and a wild-type isolate of measles virus (MV), a morbillivirus that causes disease only in humans and some other primates. We found that, as previously observed in human cells, MV induces a rapid interferon response, while that induced by RPV was delayed and much reduced in magnitude. Pathogenic and apathogenic RPV also showed significant differences, with the latter inducing a slightly higher interferon response as well as significant effects on transcription of genes involved in cell cycle regulation.

Abstract
The association of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and multiple sclerosis (MS) has been supported by several immunological and molecular studies. Recently, membrane cofactor protein (CD46) has been identified as the cellular receptor for the A and B variants of HHV-6. Elevated levels of soluble CD46 (sCD46) have been reported in the serum and CSF of MS patients. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between elevated levels of soluble CD46 and the presence of serum HHV-6 DNA in MS patients. An immunoaffinity column comprised of immobilized monoclonal antibodies to CD46 was developed to isolate sCD46 from cell free body fluids of MS patients and controls. After immunoaffinity purification, DNA was extracted from anti-CD46 column eluates and subjected to PCR amplification. Of the 42 MS samples tested, 4 serum samples were HHV-6 positive, 3 of which were typed as HHV-6A. The co-purification of sCD46 and HHV-6 DNA from MS sera indicates that HHV-6 is tightly connected to its receptor, CD46, in the serum of MS patients.

Abstract
During the 1980s CD46 was discovered in a search for C3b binding proteins of human peripheral blood cells. Its role as an inactivator of C3b and C4b deposited on self-tissue is highlighted by the observation that partial deficiency of CD46 is a predisposing factor to hemolytic uremic syndrome. This discovery has an impact on the treatment options for these patients. Other new findings have expanded the role of CD46 in immunity and disease. For example, signaling through CD46 on human T lymphocytes drives them to become regulatory cells, indicating a novel link between the complement system and cellular immunity. Also, CD46 interacts with at least seven human pathogens and participates in reproduction/fertilization, further suggesting that dissecting its multi-faceted activities will have important clinical implications.

Abstract
In the last 10 years, the human cell-surface molecule, CD46, has evolved from 'just another complement regulator' to a receptor for a striking array of pathogens. CD46 not only protects cells from complement-mediated attack and facilitates infection by a large number of pathogens, but also exerts complex effects on cellular immune function. It has been proposed that CD46 links innate and adaptive immunity by affecting cellular immune function in response to complement binding, and the role of CD46 in the pathogenesis of many infectious pathogens is now the subject of intense investigation. So far, the flood of information that implicates CD46 in modifying a host response to measles, Neisseria, human herpes virus 6, and pathogens that activate complement has not yet been matched with a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which CD46 affects immune function. This review summarizes the evidence that points to a significant role for CD46 in a range of pathological processes and describes how CD46 might exert its effects by altering signal transduction and antigen presentation pathways.

Abstract
CD46 is a widely expressed transmembrane protein that was initially identified as binding and inactivating C3b and C4b complement products. We used mice that were transgenic for one of two human CD46 isoforms that differ in their cytoplasmic domains (termed CD46-1 and CD46-2) to analyze the effect of CD46 stimulation on the immune response. We show here that CD46 can regulate inflammatory responses, either by inhibiting (CD46-1) or increasing (CD46-2) the contact hypersensitivity reaction. We found that engagement of CD46-1 or CD46-2 differentially affected CD8(+) T cell cytotoxicity, CD4(+) T cell proliferation, interleukin 2 (IL-2) and IL-10 production as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav in T lymphocytes. These results indicate that CD46 plays a role in regulating the T cell induced inflammatory reaction and in fine-tuning the cellular immune response by bridging innate and acquired immunity.

Abstract
Membrane cofactor protein (CD46) is a member of a family of glycoproteins that are regulators of complement and prevent activation of complement on autologous cells. Recently, CD46 has been identified as the cellular receptor for human herpesvirus Type 6 (HHV-6). Elevated levels of soluble CD46 have been described in several autoimmune disorders, and may be implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases. As several reports have supported an association of HHV-6 and multiple sclerosis, it was of interest to compare levels of soluble CD46 in the sera of multiple sclerosis patients to that of healthy controls, other neurological disease controls, and other inflammatory disease controls. Using an immunoaffinity column comprised of immobilized monoclonal antibodies to CD46, serum levels of soluble CD46 were found to be significantly elevated in multiple sclerosis patients compared with healthy and other neurological disease controls. Moreover, multiple sclerosis patients who tested positive for HHV-6 DNA in serum had significantly elevated levels of soluble CD46 in their serum compared with those who were negative for HHV-6 DNA. A significant increase in soluble CD46 was also found in the serum of other inflammatory disease controls tested compared to healthy controls. Additionally, a significant correlation was demonstrated between levels of soluble CD46 in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients. Collectively, these data suggest that elevated levels of soluble CD46 may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent demyelinating disease of young adults, affecting an estimated 300,000 individuals in the United States alone. The majority of affected individuals have a relapsing–remitting course while a smaller subset has a more chronic–progressive presentation. Women are affected more often than men, a phenomenon associated with a number of auto-immune diseases. Although the etiology of MS is unknown, it is generally believed that genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors are involved. This chapter discusses these issues as they suggest that exogenous factors are associated with the pathogenesis of this disorder. Recently, the human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) has received considerable attention as an infectious agent candidate that might be associated with the pathogenesis of MS. The chapter focuses on this agent and the data that support the role of this virus in MS disease pathogenesis. A model is proposed, whereby in genetically susceptible individuals, multiple viruses may trigger either a virus-specific or a cross-reactive auto-immune response that results in clinical MS. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that it is a multifactorial disease that develops as a result of host genetics, immune response, and environment.

Abstract
Human CD46, formerly membrane cofactor protein, binds and inactivates complement C3b and serves as a receptor for measles virus (MV), thereby protecting cells from homologous complement and sustaining systemic measles infection. Suppression of cell-mediated immunity, including down-regulation of IL-12 production, has been reported on macrophages (Mphi) by cross-linking their CD46. The intracellular events responsible for these immune responses, however, remain unknown. In this study, we found that 6- to 8-day GM-CSF-treated peripheral blood monocytes acquired the capacity to recruit protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 to their CD46 and concomitantly were able to produce IL-12 p40 and NO. These responses were induced by stimulation with mAbs F(ab')(2) against CD46 that block MV binding or by a wild-type MV strain Kohno MV strain (KO; UV treated or untreated) that was reported to induce early phase CD46 down-regulation. Direct ligation of CD46 by these reagents, but not intracellular MV replication, was required for these cellular responses. Interestingly, the KO strain failed to replicate in the 6- to 8-day GM-CSF-cultured Mphi, while other MV strains replicated to form syncytia under the same conditions. When stimulated with the KO strain, rapid and transient dissociation of SHP-1 from CD46 was observed. These and previous results provide strong evidence that CD46 serves as a signal modulatory molecule and that the properties of ligands determine suppression or activation of an innate immune system at a specific maturation stage of human Mphi.

Abstract
A recombinant measles virus which expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein (MVeGFP) has been used to infect two astrocytoma cell lines (GCCM and U-251) to study the effect of virus infection on the cytoskeleton. Indirect immunocytochemistry was used to demonstrate the cellular localization of the cytoskeletal components. Enhanced green fluorescent protein autofluorescence was used to identify measles virus-infected cells. No alteration of the actin, tubulin, or vimentin components of the cytoskeleton was observed in either cell type, whereas a disruption of the glial-fibrillary-acidic protein filament (GFAP) network was noted in MVeGFP-infected U-251 cells. The relative amounts of GFAP present in infected and uninfected U-251 cells were quantified by image analysis of data sets obtained by confocal microscopy by using vimentin, another intermediate filament on which MVeGFP has no effect, as a control.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) infection causes acute childhood disease, associated in certain cases with infection of the central nervous system (CNS) and development of neurological disease. To develop a murine model of MV-induced pathology, we generated several lines of transgenic mice ubiquitously expressing as the MV receptor a human CD46 molecule with either a Cyt1 or Cyt2 cytoplasmic tail. All transgenic lines expressed CD46 protein in the brain. Newborn transgenic mice, in contrast to nontransgenic controls, were highly sensitive to intracerebral infection by the MV Edmonston strain. Signs of clinical illness (lack of mobility, tremors, and weight loss) appeared within 5 to 7 days after infection, followed by seizures, paralysis, and death of the infected animals. Virus replication was detected in neurons from infected mice, and virus was reproducibly isolated from transgenic brain tissue. MV-induced apoptosis observed in different brain regions preceded the death of infected animals. Similar results were obtained with mice expressing either a Cyt1 or Cyt2 cytoplasmic tail, demonstrating the ability of different isoforms of CD46 to function as MV receptors in vivo. In addition, maternally transferred immunity delayed death of offspring given a lethal dose of MV. These results document a novel CD46 transgenic murine model where MV neuronal infection is associated with the production of infectious virus, similarly to progressive infectious measles encephalitis seen in immunocompromised patients, and provide a new means to study pathogenesis of MV infection in the CNS.

Abstract
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is the etiologic agent of exanthema subitum, causes opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, and has been implicated in multiple sclerosis and in the progression of AIDS. Here, we show that the two major HHV-6 subgroups (A and B) use human CD46 as a cellular receptor. Downregulation of surface CD46 was documented during the course of HHV-6 infection. Both acute infection and cell fusion mediated by HHV-6 were specifically inhibited by a monoclonal antibody to CD46; fusion was also blocked by soluble CD46. Nonhuman cells that were resistant to HHV-6 fusion and entry became susceptible upon expression of recombinant human CD46. The use of a ubiquitous immunoregulatory receptor opens novel perspectives for understanding the tropism and pathogenicity of HHV-6.

Abstract
The physiological function of interleukin-6 (IL-6) within the central nervous system (CNS) is complex; IL-6 exerts neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects, and yet can also function as a mediator of inflammation, demyelination, and astrogliosis, depending on the cellular context. In the normal brain, IL-6 levels remain low. However, elevated expression occurs in injury, infection, stroke, and inflammation. Given the diverse biological functions of IL-6 and its expression in numerous CNS conditions, it is critical to understand its regulation in the brain in order to control its expression and ultimately its effects. Accumulating data demonstrate that the predominant CNS source of IL-6 is the activated astrocyte. Furthermore, a wide range of factors have been demonstrated to be involved in IL-6 regulation by astrocytes. In this review, we summarize information concerning IL-6 regulation in astrocytes, focusing on the role of proinflammatory factors, neurotransmitters, and second messengers.

Abstract
CD46 is a transmembrane complement regulatory protein widely expressed on nucleated human cells. Laboratory-adapted strains of measles virus (MV) bind to the extracellular domains of CD46 to enter human cells. The cytoplasmic portion of CD46 consists of a common juxtamembrane region and different distal sequences called Cyt1 and Cyt2. The biological functions of these cytoplasmic sequences are unknown. In this study, we show that expression of human CD46 with the Cyt1 cytoplasmic domain in mouse macrophages enhances production of nitric oxide (NO) in response to MV infection in the presence of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). Human CD46 does not increase the basal levels of NO production in mouse macrophages and does not augment NO production induced by double-stranded polyribonucleotides. Replacing the cytoplasmic domain of human CD46 with Cyt2 reduces MV and IFN-gamma-induced NO production in mouse macrophages. Deleting the entire cytoplasmic domains of human CD46 does not prevent MV infection but markedly attenuates NO production in response to MV and IFN-gamma. Mouse macrophages expressing a tailless human CD46 mutant are more susceptible to MV infection and produce 2 to 3 orders of magnitude more infectious virus than mouse macrophages expressing human CD46 with intact cytoplasmic domains. These results reveal a novel function of CD46 dependent on the cytoplasmic domains (especially Cyt1), which augments NO production in macrophages. These findings may have significant implications for roles of CD46 in innate immunity and MV pathogenesis.
