In immunocompromised hosts, virus reactivation can lead to nephropathy or hemorrhagic cystitis. The urinary tract serves as a silent reservoir for the virus. Recently, it has been demonstrated that human bladder microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs) serve as viral reservoirs, given their unique response to infection, which involves interferon (IFN) production. The aim of the present study was to better understand the life cycle of BKPyV in HBMVECs, uncover the molecular pathway leading to IFN production, and to identify the connection between the viral life cycle and the activation of the IFN response. Here, in the early stage of infection, BKPyV virions were found in internalized monopinocytic vesicles, while later they were detected in late endosomes, lysosomes, tubuloreticular structures, and vacuole-like vesicles. The production of viral progeny in these cells started at 36 h postinfection. Increased cell membrane permeability and peaks of virion release coincided with the leakage of viral and cellular DNA into the cytosol at approximately 60 h postinfection. Leaked DNA colocalized with and activated cGAS, leading to the activation of STING and the consequent transcription of IFNB and IFN-related genes; in contrast, the IFN response was attenuated by exposure to the cGAS inhibitor, G140. These findings highlight the importance of the cGAS-STING pathway in the innate immune response of HBMVECs to BKPyV.","PeriodicalId":16354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Virology","volume":"96 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jmv.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142564350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research unveils that STING inhibits coronavirus replication by impeding the formation of the ER-derived double-membrane vesicles (DMVs), the organelles in which coronavirus replicates. We found that STING was still capable of inhibiting coronavirus OC43 infection in cells, regardless of the knockout of cGAS or MAVS, or blocking type I interferon receptor. Moreover, STING disrupted the interaction between two crucial proteins, NSP4 and NSP6, involved in DMV formation, leading to the disruption of DMV formation.

The capacity of these viruses to cause epidemics is frequently associated with increased mosquito transmission, which in turn is governed by virus−host−vector interactions. Although many studies have explored virus−vector interactions, significant gaps remain in understanding how vertebrate host factors influence alphavirus transmission by mosquitoes. We previously showed that obesity, a ubiquitous vertebrate host biological factor, reduces alphavirus transmission potential in mosquitoes. We hypothesized that alphavirus-infected obese bloodmeals altered immune genes and/or pathways in mosquitoes, thereby inhibiting virus transmission. To test this, we conducted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) on midgut RNA from mosquitoes fed on alphavirus-infected lean and obese mice. This approach aimed to identify potential antiviral or proviral genes and pathways altered in mosquitoes after consuming infected obese bloodmeals. We found upregulation of the Toll pathway and downregulation of several metabolic and other genes in mosquitoes fed on alphavirus-infected obese bloodmeals. Through gene knockdown studies, we demonstrated the antiviral role of Toll pathway and proviral roles of AAEL009965 and fatty acid synthase (FASN) in the transmission of alphaviruses by mosquitoes. Therefore, this study utilized obesity to identify factors influencing alphavirus transmission by mosquitoes and this research approach may pave the way for designing broadly effective antiviral measures to combat mosquito-borne viruses, such as releasing transgenic mosquitoes deficient in the identified genes.","PeriodicalId":16354,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Virology","volume":"96 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jmv.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142522148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
