The viral NS2B-NS3 protease is a promising drug target to combat dengue virus (DENV) and other emerging flaviviruses. The discovery of novel DENV protease inhibitors with antiviral efficacy is hampered by the low predictive power of biochemical assays. We herein present a comparative evaluation of biochemical DENV protease assay conditions and their benchmarking against antiviral efficacy and a protease-specific reporter gene assay. Variations were performed with respect to pH, type of detergent, buffer, and substrate. The revised assay conditions were applied in a medicinal chemistry effort aimed at phenylglycine protease inhibitors. This validation study demonstrated a considerably improved predictive power for antiviral efficacy in comparison to previous approaches. An extensive evaluation of phenylglycine-based DENV protease inhibitors with highly diverse N-terminal caps indicates further development potential in this structural region. Furthermore, the phenylglycine moiety may be less essential than previously assumed, providing a development option towards reduced lipophilicity and thereby an improved pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile.
病毒NS2B-NS3蛋白酶是对抗登革热病毒(DENV)和其他新兴黄病毒的有希望的药物靶点。具有抗病毒功效的新型DENV蛋白酶抑制剂的发现受到生物化学检测的低预测能力的阻碍。在此,我们提出了生化DENV蛋白酶测定条件的比较评估及其对抗病毒功效和蛋白酶特异性报告基因测定的基准。根据pH值、洗涤剂类型、缓冲液和底物进行变化。修订后的测定条件应用于苯甘氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂的药物化学研究。该验证研究表明,与以前的方法相比,抗病毒疗效的预测能力大大提高。基于苯甘氨酸的DENV蛋白酶抑制剂具有高度多样化的n端帽,广泛的评估表明在该结构区域有进一步的开发潜力。此外,苯基甘氨酸部分可能不像以前假设的那样重要,这为降低亲脂性提供了一种发展选择,从而改善了药代动力学和毒性特征。

Fostemsavir (FTR) is an approved first-in-class small molecule Env antagonist for treating multi-drug resistant (MDR) HIV-1 infection. In the BRIGHTE study, viral suppression rates in heavily treatment-experienced people with HIV (PWH) increased from week 48 through week 96. Factors that contribute to this late response are not well understood. Given FTR's ability to stabilize a native HIV-1 envelope trimer conformational state, we examined anti-HIV humoral immune responses in the BRIGHTE study to explore how evolving antibody responses in the presence of drug correlate with delayed viral suppression. 16 BRIGHTE study participants (ppt) were selected based on their time to first viremic suppression: eight early (EVS) and eight late viral suppressors (LVS). Immune responses were also analyzed in eight ppt from the SAILING study that evaluated dolutegravir. Anti-HIV Env IgG titer, cell-free and cell-to-cell neutralization activity, FcγRIIa- and FcγRIIIa-signaling, and plasma cytokines at weeks 0, 4 and 108 were examined and correlated with clinical variables associated with treatment response. FTR treatment did not significantly enhance antibody responses against reference strain of HIV in LVS compared to EVS. However, at baseline, LVS had significantly lower anti-HIV IgG titers, higher VL, lower CD4+ T-cell counts and experienced greater increases in CD4+ T-cell counts than EVS. Additionally, IL-8 levels were increased in LVS vs. EVS at treatment initiation. In comparison, SAILING ppt showed increased FcγRIIa signaling during drug treatment compared to the FTR groups. Further studies will determine if pre-treatment characteristics influence timing to viral suppression in FTR-treated individuals with MDR-HIV.

Viruses have co-evolved with their hosts, intertwining their life cycles. As a result, components and pathways from a host cell's processes are appropriated for virus infection. This review examines the host DExD-box RNA helicases known to influence virus infection during human infections. We have identified 42 species of viruses (28 genera and 21 families) whose life cycles are modulated by at least one, but often multiple, DExD-box RNA helicases. Of these, 37 species require one or multiple DExD-box RNA helicases for efficient infections, i.e., in these cases the DExD-box RNA helicases are pro-viral. However, similar evolutionary processes have also led to cellular responses that combat viral infections. In humans, these responses comprise intrinsic and innate immune responses initiated and regulated by some of the same DExD-box RNA helicases that act as pro-viral helicases. Currently, anti-viral DExD-box RNA helicase responses to viral infections are noted in 23 viral species. Notably, most studied viruses are linked to severe, life-threatening diseases, leading many researchers to focus on DExD-box RNA helicases as potential therapeutic targets. Thus, we present examples of host-directed therapies targeting anti-viral DExD-box RNA helicases. Overall, our findings indicate that various DExD-box RNA helicases serve as either pro- and/or anti-viral agents across a wide range of viruses. Continued investigation into the pro-viral activities of these helicases will help identify specific protein motifs that can be targeted by drugs to manage or eliminate the severe diseases caused by these viruses. Comparative studies on anti-viral DExD-box RNA helicase responses may also offer insights for developing therapies that enhance immune responses triggered by these helicases.

The impact of treatment-emergent amino acid substitutions (TEAASs) in severe acute coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3C-like protease (3CLpro) on clinical and virologic outcomes was evaluated in patients with mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who received ensitrelvir 125 mg in the SCORPIO-SR trial. Individuals were randomised to ensitrelvir or matched placebo once daily for 5 days (first dose <72 h after disease onset). 3CLpro-TEAASs were identified by sequencing nsp5 encoding 3CLpro from pre- and post-treatment nasopharyngeal swabs. Time to resolution of a composite of five characteristic COVID-19 symptoms (TTR) was compared between patients with and without the most common 3CLpro-TEAASs in the ensitrelvir arm. The ensitrelvir and placebo intention-to-treat populations comprised 345 and 341 patients, respectively. 3CLpro-TEAASs were detected in 19/204 (9.3%) ensitrelvir-treated and 3/137 (2.2%) placebo-treated patients with paired sequence data. The most common 3CLpro-TEAASs in the ensitrelvir arm were M49L (n = 12), M49I (n = 3) and S144A (n = 2). In the placebo arm, all 3CLpro-TEAASs occurred in ≤1 patient. Median (95% confidence interval) TTR was comparable between patients with and without those TEAASs (158.8 h [112.1–281.9] vs 189.7 h [151.4–234.4]). Mean viral RNA levels declined more slowly in patients with M49L/I or S144A versus those without. Reductions in viral titre were unaffected by these TEAASs. The characteristics of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 with 3CLpro mutations were explored in vitro. Recombinant viruses with some 3CLpro mutations had reduced susceptibility to ensitrelvir in vitro, with limited effects on viral and competitive fitness. Continued surveillance is warranted to monitor the spread of viruses with 3CLpro mutations.

The Omicron BA.2.86 subvariants, JN.1, KP.2, and KP.3, have become predominant globally, raising concerns about their immune evasion from vaccines and monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatments. These variants harbor more receptor-binding domain (RBD) mutations than the XBB and EG.5 sub-lineages, which are already known to compromise vaccine and therapeutic efficacy. We evaluated sera from individuals vaccinated with inactivated vaccines, with or without breakthrough infections, as well as COVID-19 convalescents. Our results showed a substantial decrease in serum neutralizing activity against the JN.1, KP.2, XBB.1.5, and EG.5.1 variants compared to BA.2. Additionally, we developed 19 neutralizing antibodies from memory B cells, with some retaining efficacy against earlier Omicron variants. However, potency was notably diminished against newer subvariants like BF.7, BQ.1, XBB.1.5, and BA.2.86. Of mAbs, those isolated from COVID-19 convalescents, particularly SA-3, exhibited exceptional potency across ten variants from BA.2 to KP.2, with IC50 values ranging from 0.006 to 2.546 μg/mL. However, SA-3 had lost neutralizing activity against the KP.3 due to the Q493E mutation, but the KP.3 became susceptible to neutralization by the other mAb, SA-6. In contrast, SA-6 was unable to neutralize KP.2 because of the presence of R346T mutation. Our findings underscore the importance of continuous surveillance of viral evolution and the need for updated vaccines and therapeutics to combat the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly in the context of emerging variants that escape both vaccine-induced immunity and monoclonal antibody treatments.

Nipah virus (NiV) is a lethal zoonotic paramyxovirus that can be transmitted from person to person through the respiratory route. There are currently no licensed vaccines or therapeutics. A lipopeptide-based fusion inhibitor was developed and previously evaluated for efficacy against the NiV-Malaysia strain. Intraperitoneal administration in hamsters showed superb prophylactic activity and promising efficacy, however the intratracheal delivery mode in non-human primates proved intractable and spurred the development of an aerosolized delivery route that could be clinically applicable. We developed an aerosol delivery system in an artificial respiratory 3D model and optimized the combinations of flow rate and particle size for lung deposition. We characterized the nebulizer device and assessed the safety of lipopeptide nebulization in an African green monkey model that mimics human NiV infection. Three nebulized doses of fusion-inhibitory lipopeptide were administered every 24 h, resulting in peptide deposition across multiple regions of both lungs without causing toxicity or adverse hematological and biochemical effects. In peptide-treated monkeys challenged with a lethal dose of NiV-Bangladesh, animals retained robust levels of T and B-lymphocytes in the blood, infection-induced lethality was significantly delayed, and 2 out of 5 monkeys were protected from NiV infection. The present study establishes the safety and feasibility of the nebulizer delivery method for AGM studies. Future studies will compare delivery methods using next-generation fusion-inhibitory anti-NiV lipopeptides to evaluate the potential role of this aerosol delivery approach in achieving a rapid antiviral response.

Background & aims

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) arises from a persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, complicating efforts for a functional cure. Kupffer cells (KCs), liver-resident macrophages, are pivotal in mediating immune tolerance to HBV. Although CD163 marks M2-polarized KCs, its precise role in HBV infection remains unclear and warrants further investigation.

Methods

CD163 expression in liver tissues of patients with CHB was analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Cd163 knockout mice were utilized to establish HBV-persistent mouse model, and CD163 deficiency effect on HBV viral markers and T cell immune responses were examined in vivo and in vitro.

Results

CD163 expression was elevated and correlated with ALT levels in the liver of patients with CHB. In HBV-persistent mouse model, CD163 deficiency facilitated the clearance of HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV DNA, and HBcAg. Additionally, CD163 deficiency promoted the differentiation of naïve T cells into HBV-specific effector T cells. Further, we found that CD163 deficiency reduces KCs-derived IL-10 secretion, and blocking IL-10 further strengthens the enhanced HBV-specific T cell response due to CD163 deficiency.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that CD163 deficiency enhances the HBV-specific T cell response, thereby facilitating HBV clearance through reducing KCs-derived IL-10 secretion. This suggests that CD163 may serve as a potential target for the restoration of exhausted T cell function.

IgA antibodies are critical components of the mucosal immune barrier, providing essential first-line defense against viral infections. In this study, we investigated the impact of antibody class switching on neutralization efficacy by engineering recombinant antibodies of different isotypes (IgA1, IgG1) with identical variable regions from SARS-CoV-2 convalescent patients. A potent, broad-spectrum neutralizing monoclonal antibody CAV-C65 exhibited a ten-fold increase in neutralization potency upon switching from IgG1 to IgA1 monomer. Structural analysis revealed that this antibody binds to two adjacent receptor binding domains on the spike protein. Enhanced neutralization by IgA1 was attributed to the combined effects of increased affinity, unique hinge region properties, and potential cross-linking of viral particles. Inhaled CAV-C65 IgA1 demonstrated prophylactic efficacy against lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection in hACE2 mice. These findings highlight the pivotal role of IgA in antiviral immunity and inform the development of IgA-based therapeutics.
IgA抗体是粘膜免疫屏障的重要组成部分,为抵抗病毒感染提供了必要的第一线防御。在这项研究中,我们通过从SARS-CoV-2恢复期患者中获得具有相同可变区的不同同工型(IgA1, IgG1)的工程重组抗体,研究了抗体类别转换对中和效果的影响。一种有效的广谱中和单克隆抗体CAV-C65在从IgG1切换到IgA1单体后,其中和效力增加了10倍。结构分析表明,该抗体结合到刺突蛋白上两个相邻的受体结合域。IgA1增强的中和作用归因于病毒颗粒的亲和力增加、独特的铰链区特性和潜在的交联的综合作用。在hACE2小鼠中,吸入CAV-C65 IgA1对致命的SARS-CoV-2感染具有预防作用。这些发现强调了IgA在抗病毒免疫中的关键作用,并为基于IgA的治疗方法的发展提供了信息。

Our previous study had found that cellular pseudokinase tribbles 3 (TRIB3) facilitates the infection of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) via upregulating the protein level of EV-A71 receptor scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2). In the present study, we used metformin, which had been reported to down-regulate TRIB3 expression, to verify the potential of TRIB3 as an antiviral target. Here, we found that metformin can indeed impede the replication of EV-A71 and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) through inhibiting the transcription of TRIB3 to indirectly down-regulate SCARB2 protein levels to block viral infection. Importantly, we also found that metformin can inhibit the replication of EV-A71 and CVA16 in a TRIB3-independent manner. In fact, we found that both metformin and cellular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist AICAR can inhibit the replication of EV-A71 and CVA16 by pharmacologically activating AMPK. Moreover, AMPK phosphorylation specific inhibitor Compound C treatment can reverse the antiviral effect of metformin, indicating that metformin can indeed play an antiviral role through regulating AMPK. More importantly, we confirmed that metformin could effectively protected mice from lethal EV-A71 infection. Metformin treatment decreased the levels of EV-A71 VP1 protein and viral RNA in the infected muscles, and improved muscle pathology. These findings suggest that TRIB3 does have potential as a target for antiviral drugs, and metformin may be a potential agent or supplement against enterovirus infection.
我们前期研究发现,细胞假激酶tribbles 3 (TRIB3)通过上调EV-A71受体清零受体B类成员2 (SCARB2)的蛋白水平,促进肠病毒A71 (EV-A71)的感染。在本研究中,我们使用二甲双胍来验证TRIB3作为抗病毒靶点的潜力,二甲双胍已被报道可以下调TRIB3的表达。本研究发现,二甲双胍确实可以通过抑制TRIB3转录,间接下调SCARB2蛋白水平,阻断病毒感染,从而阻碍EV-A71和柯萨奇病毒A16 (CVA16)的复制。重要的是,我们还发现二甲双胍可以以不依赖trib3的方式抑制EV-A71和CVA16的复制。事实上,我们发现二甲双胍和细胞amp活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)激动剂AICAR都可以通过药理激活AMPK来抑制eb - a71和CVA16的复制。此外,AMPK磷酸化特异性抑制剂Compound C处理可以逆转二甲双胍的抗病毒作用,表明二甲双胍确实可以通过调节AMPK发挥抗病毒作用。更重要的是,我们证实了二甲双胍可以有效地保护小鼠免受致命的EV-A71感染。二甲双胍治疗降低了感染肌肉中EV-A71 VP1蛋白和病毒RNA的水平,并改善了肌肉病理。这些发现表明TRIB3确实有潜力作为抗病毒药物的靶点,二甲双胍可能是对抗肠道病毒感染的潜在药物或补充剂。

Enhanced expression of Pellino-1 (Peli1), a ubiquitin ligase is known to be associated with COVID-19 susceptibility. The underlying mechanisms are not known. Here, we report that mice deficient in Peli1 (Peli1−/−) had reduced viral load and attenuated inflammatory immune responses and tissue damage in the lung following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overexpressing Peli1 in 293 T cells increased SARS-CoV-2 infection via promoting virus replication and transcription, without affecting virus attachment and entry into the cells. Smaducin-6 treatment which is known to disrupt Peli1-mediated NF-KB activation, attenuated inflammatory immune responses in human lung epithelial cells as well as in the lung of K18-hACE2 mice following SARS-CoV-2 infection, though it had minimal effects on SARS-CoV-2 infection in human nasal epithelial cells. Overall, our findings suggest that Peli1 contributes to SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis by promoting virus replication and positively regulating virus-induced inflammatory responses in lung epithelial cells. Peli1 is a therapeutic target to control SARS-CoV-2 -induced disease severity.
已知泛素连接酶Pellino-1 (Peli1)的表达增强与COVID-19易感性相关。潜在的机制尚不清楚。在这里,我们报告了缺乏Peli1 (Peli1-/-)的小鼠在SARS-CoV-2感染后降低了病毒载量,减轻了炎症免疫反应和肺组织损伤。293T细胞过表达Peli1通过促进病毒复制和转录增加SARS-CoV-2感染,但不影响病毒附着和进入细胞。Smaducin-6治疗(已知会破坏peli1介导的NF-KB激活)在SARS-CoV-2感染后减轻了人肺上皮细胞以及K18-hACE2小鼠肺中的炎症免疫反应,尽管它对SARS-CoV-2感染的人鼻上皮细胞的影响很小。总之,我们的研究结果表明,Peli1通过促进病毒复制和积极调节肺上皮细胞中病毒诱导的炎症反应,参与了SARS-CoV-2的发病机制。Peli1是控制SARS-CoV-2诱导的疾病严重程度的治疗靶点。
