Tissue-resident macrophages, which are infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in patients but are inconsistently infected in vitro, exert critical but conflicting effects by secreting both antiviral type I interferons (IFNs) and tissue-damaging inflammatory cytokines. Steroids, the only class of host-targeting drugs approved for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), indiscriminately suppress both responses, possibly impairing viral clearance. Here, we established in vitro cell culture systems that enabled us to separately investigate the cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic proinflammatory and antiviral activities of mouse macrophages infected with the prototypical murine coronavirus MHV-A59. We showed that the nuclear factor κB-dependent inflammatory response to viral infection was selectively inhibited by loss of the lysine demethylase LSD1, which was previously implicated in innate immune responses to cancer, with negligible effects on the antiviral IFN response. LSD1 ablation also enhanced an IFN-independent antiviral response, blocking viral egress through the lysosomal pathway. The macrophage-intrinsic antiviral and anti-inflammatory activity of Lsd1 inhibition was confirmed in vitro and in a humanized mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These results suggest that LSD1 controls innate immune responses against coronaviruses at multiple levels and provide a mechanistic rationale for potentially repurposing LSD1 inhibitors for COVID-19 treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49560,"journal":{"name":"Science Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138812462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In human cancer cells, IRAK4 was activated downstream of ATR kinase in response to double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by ionizing radiation (IR). Activated IRAK4 then formed a complex with and activated IRAK1. The formation of this complex required the E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino1, acting structurally but not catalytically, and the activation of IRAK1 occurred independently of extracellular signaling, intracellular TLRs, and the TLR/IL-1R signaling adaptor MyD88. Activated IRAK1 translocated to the nucleus in a Pellino2-dependent manner. In the nucleus, IRAK1 bound to the PIDD1 subunit of the proapoptotic PIDDosome and interfered with platform assembly, thus supporting cell survival. This noncanonical IRAK signaling pathway was also activated in response to other DSB-inducing agents.

We have initiated studies to test an alternative hypothesis: HRH1 expressed by PDAC cells may contribute to the malignant phenotype and if so, FDA-approved HRH1 antihistamines might be therapeutics to treat or perhaps prevent PDAC. We have undertaken bioinformatic and experimental approaches to test this hypothesis. Our bioinformatic analysis revealed that PDAC tumors in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have >30-fold higher HRH1 expression than in normal pancreas (GTEx database) and is highly expressed in PDAC cell lines in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE). HRH1 expression was selectively associated with markers of PDAC cells and not with markers of other cell types in the tumor microenvironment. Higher expression of HRH1 in TCGA-PDAC tumors negatively impacts on patient survival. Our experimental studies indicate that human and mouse PDAC cells express HRH1 mRNA, protein and signaling and that HRH1 is present on the surface of PDAC cells. We found that histamine prominently increases calcium [Ca2+] in multiple human PDAC cell lines with EC50 values comparable to that in other cell types. The histamine-stimulated increase in [Ca2+] occurs via a Gq/11 (heterotrimeric GTP binding protein)-dependent mechanism and is blocked by multiple FDA-approved HRH1 antihistamines (with pKi values similar to those of HRH1 inhibition of other cell types). HRH1 activation by histamine increases PDAC cell migration. Histamine also increases the production of numerous cytokines (including VEGF) from PDAC cells, and in preliminary studies, stimulates growth of multiple PDAC cell lines at low concentrations (1-10 nM). Together with published data indicating that mast cells (which synthesize and release histamine) in PDAC tumors are associated with PDAC cell growth/invasion, angiogenesis and worse prognosis, our findings suggest that independent of immune cells, a \"mast cell-histamine-PDAC cell HRH1 axis\" may contribute to the malignant phenotype of PDAC tumors. Importantly, HRH1 on PDAC cells could be targeted by repurposing approved HRH1 antihistamines as a novel therapeutic approach for PDAC tumors.
