Abstract
Selective retrograde transport from endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is important for maintaining protein homeostasis, recycling receptors, and returning molecules that were transported to the wrong compartments. Two important transmembrane proteins directed to this pathway are the Cation-Independent Mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) and the ATP7B copper transporter. Among CI-MPR functions is the delivery of acid hydrolases to lysosomes, while ATP7B facilitates the transport of cytosolic copper ions into organelles or the extracellular space. Precise subcellular localization of CI-MPR and ATP7B is essential for the proper functioning of these proteins. This study shows that both CI-MPR and ATP7B interact with a variant of the clathrin adaptor 1 (AP-1) complex that contains a specific isoform of the γ-adaptin subunit called γ2. Through synchronized anterograde trafficking and cell-surface uptake assays, we demonstrated that AP-1γ2 is dispensable for ATP7B and CI-MPR exit from the TGN while being critically required for ATP7B and CI-MPR retrieval from endosomes to the TGN. Moreover, AP-1γ2 depletion leads to the retention of endocytosed CI-MPR in endosomes enriched in retromer complex subunits. These data underscore the importance of AP-1γ2 as a key component in the sorting and trafficking machinery of CI-MPR and ATP7B, highlighting its essential role in the transport of proteins from endosomes.

Abstract
Although increasing evidence confirms neuropsychiatric manifestations associated mainly with severe COVID-19 infection, long-term neuropsychiatric dysfunction (recently characterized as part of “long COVID-19” syndrome) has been frequently observed after mild infection. We show the spectrum of cerebral impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, ranging from long-term alterations in mildly infected individuals (orbitofrontal cortical atrophy, neurocognitive impairment, excessive fatigue and anxiety symptoms) to severe acute damage confirmed in brain tissue samples extracted from the orbitofrontal region (via endonasal transethmoidal access) from individuals who died of COVID-19. In an independent cohort of 26 individuals who died of COVID-19, we used histopathological signs of brain damage as a guide for possible SARS-CoV-2 brain infection and found that among the 5 individuals who exhibited those signs, all of them had genetic material of the virus in the brain. Brain tissue samples from these five patients also exhibited foci of SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, particularly in astrocytes. Supporting the hypothesis of astrocyte infection, neural stem cell–derived human astrocytes in vitro are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection through a noncanonical mechanism that involves spike–NRP1 interaction. SARS-CoV-2–infected astrocytes manifested changes in energy metabolism and in key proteins and metabolites used to fuel neurons, as well as in the biogenesis of neurotransmitters. Moreover, human astrocyte infection elicits a secretory phenotype that reduces neuronal viability. Our data support the model in which SARS-CoV-2 reaches the brain, infects astrocytes, and consequently, leads to neuronal death or dysfunction. These deregulated processes could contribute to the structural and functional alterations seen in the brains of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Severe COVID-19 patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome that may progress to cytokine storm syndrome, organ dysfunction, and death. Considering that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been described as important mediators of tissue damage in inflammatory diseases, we investigated whether NETs would be involved in COVID-19 pathophysiology. A cohort of 32 hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and healthy controls were enrolled. The concentration of NETs was augmented in plasma, tracheal aspirate, and lung autopsies tissues from COVID-19 patients, and their neutrophils released higher levels of NETs. Notably, we found that viable SARS-CoV-2 can directly induce the release of NETs by healthy neutrophils. Mechanistically, NETs triggered by SARS-CoV-2 depend on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, serine protease, virus replication, and PAD-4. Finally, NETs released by SARS-CoV-2-activated neutrophils promote lung epithelial cell death in vitro. These results unravel a possible detrimental role of NETs in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Therefore, the inhibition of NETs represents a potential therapeutic target for COVID-19.

Abstract
Severe COVID-19 patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome that may progress to cytokine storm syndrome, organ dysfunction, and death. Considering that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been described as important mediators of tissue damage in inflammatory diseases, we investigated whether NETs would be involved in COVID-19 pathophysiology. A cohort of 32 hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and healthy controls were enrolled. The concentration of NETs was augmented in plasma, tracheal aspirate, and lung autopsies tissues from COVID-19 patients, and their neutrophils released higher levels of NETs. Notably, we found that viable SARS-CoV-2 can directly induce the release of NETs by healthy neutrophils. Mechanistically, NETs triggered by SARS-CoV-2 depend on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, serine protease, virus replication, and PAD-4. Finally, NETs released by SARS-CoV-2–activated neutrophils promote lung epithelial cell death in vitro. These results unravel a possible detrimental role of NETs in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Therefore, the inhibition of NETs represents a potential therapeutic target for COVID-19.

Abstract
The granulomatous lesion resulting from infection with the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is characterized by a compact aggregate of mature cells, surrounded by a fibroblast- and collagen-rich content. Granuloma formation requires signaling elicited by inflammatory molecules such as members of the interleukin-1 family. Two members of this family have been thoroughly studied, namely IL-1α and IL-1β. In this study, we addressed the mechanisms underlying IL-1α secretion and its functional role on the host resistance to fungal infection. We found that, the expression of caspase-11 triggered by P. brasiliensis infection of macrophages depends on IFN-β production, because its inhibition reduced procaspase-11 levels. Curiously, caspase-11 deficiency did not impair IL-1β production, however caspase-11 was required for a rapid pore-mediated cell lysis. The plasma membrane rupture facilitated the release of IL-1α, which was necessary to induce NO production and restrict fungal replication. Furthermore, P. brasiliensis-infected macrophages required IL-1α to produce optimal levels of IL-6, a major component of Th17 lymphocyte differentiation. Indeed, IL-1α deficiency accounted for a significant reduction of Th17 lymphocytes in lungs of infected mice, correlating with diminished neutrophil infiltration in the lungs. Strikingly, we identified that IL-1α directly reprograms the transcriptional profile of Th17-committed lymphocytes, increasing cellular proliferation, as for boosting IL-17 production by these cells. Beyond neutrophil chemotaxis in vivo, IL-17 also amplified IL-1α production by infected macrophages in vitro, endorsing a critical amplification loop of the inflammatory response. Therefore, our data suggest that the IFN-β/caspase-11/IL-1α pathway shapes a protective antifungal Th17 immunity, revealing a molecular mechanism underlying the cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transcriptional repressor B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1) has a key role in terminal differentiation in various T-cell subtypes. However, whether Blimp-1 regulates TH9 differentiation and its role in allergic inflammation are unknown. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the role of Blimp-1 in TH9 differentiation and in the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation. METHODS In vitro TH9 differentiation, flow cytometry, ELISA, and real-time PCR were used to investigate the effects of Blimp-1 on TH9 polarization. T cell-specific Blimp-1-deficient mice, a model of allergic airway inflammation, and T-cell adoptive transfer to recombination-activating gene 1 (Rag-1)-/- mice were used to address the role of Blimp-1 in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. RESULTS We found that Blimp-1 regulates TH9 differentiation because deleting Blimp-1 increased IL-9 production in CD4+ T cells in vitro. In addition, we showed that in T cell-specific Blimp-1-deficient mice, deletion of Blimp-1 in T cells worsened airway disease, and this worsening was inhibited by IL-9 neutralization. In asthmatic patients CD4+ T cells in response to TGF-β plus IL-4 increased IL-9 expression and downregulated Blimp-1 expression compared with expression in healthy control subjects. Blimp-1 overexpression in human TH9 cells inhibited IL-9 expression. CONCLUSION Blimp-1 is a pivotal negative regulator of TH9 differentiation and controls allergic inflammation.
