Recent Progress on Exosomes in RNA Virus Infection viruses Review Recent Progress on Exosomes in RNA Virus Infection Liying Zhang, Yichen Ju, Si Chen and Linzhu Ren * College of Animal Sciences, Key Lab for Zoonoses Research, Ministry of Education, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China; [email protected] (L.Z.); [email protected] (Y.J.); [email protected] (S.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Recent research indicates that most tissue and cell types can secrete and release membrane- enclosed small vesicles, known as exosomes, whose content reflects the physiological/pathological state of the cells from which they originate. These exosomes participate in the communication and cell-to-cell transfer of biologically active proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Studies of RNA viruses have demonstrated that exosomes release regulatory factors from infected cells and deliver other functional host genetic elements to neighboring cells, and these functions are involved in the infection process and modulate the cellular responses. This review provides an overview of the biogenesis, composition, and some of the most striking functions of exosome secretion and identifies physiological/pathological areas in need of further research. While initial indications suggest that exosome-mediated pathways operate in vivo, the exosome mechanisms involved in the related effects still need to be clarified. The current review focuses on the role of exosomes in RNA virus infections, with an emphasis on the potential contributions of exosomes to pathogenesis. Keywords: exosome; RNA virus; infection 1.

In recent decades, several EVs, including microvesicles, v13020256 apoptotic bodies, and exosomes, have been found to play important roles in various physiological and pathological processes [3,4]. Academic Editor: Philippe Gallay Exosomes were first identified by Harding et al. in 1983 and confirmed by Johnstone Received: 20 January 2021 et al. in 1987 [5,6].

Depending on the cell type, many cellular functions have been published maps and institutional affil- attributed to exosomes [7]. Importantly, increasing evidence indicates that exosomes play iations. complex roles in viral diseases [8,9]. For example, exosomes can enhance viral infection by spreading viral components, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and inhibit the immune response or promote immune escape [7,10–12]. They can also inhibit infection by triggering innate or acquired immunity and eliminating pathogens via induction of apoptosis or Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. other signaling pathways [7,10–12].

Exosome Biogenesis Johnstone first coined the term exosome to describe the process that underlies the transformation from a reticulocyte to a mature erythrocyte. Because the vesicular secretion process was similar to “reverse endocytosis,” small vesicles were termed “exosomes” [6]. Exosomes are formed within the endosomal network, and early endosomes have three fates: recycling, degradation, and exocytosis. The remainder becomes late endosomes, also called MVBs, because of the observation that an MVB contains many small lysosomes to target related proteins and lipids for degradation; the second fate is fusion with the plasma membrane to release internal vesicles into the extracellular milieu, which then are considered exosomes, and the last fate is to remain in the cytoplasm and storage compart- ments [10]. Although the exact mechanism of how this process is regulated is still unclear, scientists have established many theories of exosome biogenesis, including endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent [13] and ESCRT-independent pathways [14], which include the oligomerization of tetraspanin complexes [15], the sph- ingomyelinase pathway that catalyzes ceramide synthesis [16], or phospholipase D2 and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation factor-6-mediated intraluminal vesicle (ILV) budding [17]. ESCRTs consist of approximately twenty proteins that assemble into four complexes (ESCRT-0, ESCRT-I, ESCRT-II, and ESCRT-III) with the associated proteins vacuolar protein sorting 4 (VPS4), vesicle trafficking 1 (VTA1), and ALG-2 interacting protein X (ALIX) (Figure1). The ESCRT-0 complex recognizes and sequesters ubiquitylated proteins in the endosomal membrane, whereas the ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II complexes appear to be respon- sible for inward membrane budding with sequestered cargo, and ESCRT-III components subsequently drive vesicle scission. ESCRT-0 comprises hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HRS), which recognizes monoubiquitylated cargo proteins and associates in a complex with signal-transducing adaptor molecule (STAM), epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 15 (Eps15), and clathrin. HRS recruits tumor susceptibility 101 (TSG101) of the ESCRT-I complex, and ESCRT-I is then involved in the recruitment of ESCRT-III through ESCRT-II or ALIX, an ESCRT-accessory protein. Finally, the dissociation and recycling of the ESCRT machinery require an interaction with the AAA-ATPase VPS4 [18,19]. The ESCRT-independent pathway includes ceramide-dependent manner, cluster of differentiation 63 (CD-63)-dependent mechanism, and ESCRT-independent exosomal nanovesicle formation in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) (Figure1)[ 20]. For example, oligodendrocytes generate exosomes via the production of ceramide [16], while other cell types rely on the oligomerization of tetraspanin complexes [15,21]. Moreover, Rab GTPases, a family of conserved proteins that regulate vesicular traffick- ing and membrane fusion events, are also involved in exosome formation. Each member of the Rab GTPase family is differentially enriched in each subcompartment of an exosomal pathway: Rab5 is enriched in EVs; Rab7 and Rab 27 in MVBs; and Rab11, Rab25, Rab4, and Rab35 in the slow and rapid recycling routes. Rab9 is present in vesicles intended for the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Many viruses use these Rabs in various phases of the viral life cycle, although whether this usage influences exosomal release has not been investigated [11].

    Ma et al. BMC Medical Genetics 2010, 11:149 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2350/11/149 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Interaction of functional NPC1 gene Polymorphism with smoking on coronary heart disease Weiwei Ma1, Jing Xu1, Qianqian Wang2, Ying Xin1, Lin Zhang1, Xinxin Zheng1, Hu Wang1, Kai Sun1, Rutai Hui1, Xiaohong Huang2* Abstract Background: The protein of Niemann-pick type C1 gene (NPC1) is known to facilitate the egress of cholesterol and other lipids from late endosomes and lysosomes to other cellular compartments. This study aims to investigate whether the genetic variation in NPC1 is associated with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to detect whether NPC1 might interact with smoking on the risk of CHD. Methods: We performed a case-control study, including 873 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 864 subjects without CHD as control. Polymorphisms of NPC1 gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) -restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Results: A tag-SNP rs1805081 (+644A > G) in NPC1 was identified. The G allele of the +644 locus showed reduced risk of CHD than wild-type genotype in Chinese population (recessive model GG vs. AG+AA: odds ratio [OR] 0.647, 95% CI 0.428 to 0.980, P = 0.039; additive model GG vs. AG vs. AA: OR 0.847, 95% CI 0.718 to 0.998, P = 0.0471). Moreover in smokers, the G-allele carriers had reduced risk of CHD compared with A-allele carries (OR 0.552, 95% CI 0.311 to 0.979, P = 0.0421). Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that NPC1 variants seem to be contributors to coronary heart disease occurrence in Chinese population.

Yingying Jiang born in Shandong, China Oral-examination: Systems and chemical biology approaches to study cell function and response to toxins Referees: Prof. Dr. Rob Russell Prof. Dr. Stefan Wölfl CONTRIBUTIONS The chapter III of this thesis was submitted for publishing under the title “Drug mechanism predominates over toxicity mechanisms in drug induced gene expression” by Yingying Jiang, Tobias C. Fuchs, Kristina Erdeljan, Bojana Lazerevic, Philip Hewitt, Gordana Apic & Robert B. Russell. For chapter III, text phrases, selected tables, figures are based on this submitted manuscript that has been originally written by myself. i ABSTRACT Toxicity is one of the main causes of failure during drug discovery, and of withdrawal once drugs reached the market. Prediction of potential toxicities in the early stage of drug development has thus become of great interest to reduce such costly failures. Since toxicity results from chemical perturbation of biological systems, we combined biological and chemical strategies to help understand and ultimately predict drug toxicities. First, we proposed a systematic strategy to predict and understand the mechanistic interpretation of drug toxicities based on chemical fragments. Fragments frequently found in chemicals with certain toxicities were defined as structural alerts for use in prediction. Some of the predictions were supported with mechanistic interpretation by integrating fragment- chemical, chemical-protein, protein-protein interactions and gene expression data. Next, we systematically deciphered the mechanisms of drug actions and toxicities by analyzing the associations of drugs’ chemical features, biological features and their gene expression profiles from the TG-GATEs database.

  • Cellular Entry and Uncoating of Naked and Quasi-Enveloped Human
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Cellular entry and uncoating of naked and quasi-enveloped human hepatoviruses Efraı´nE Rivera-Serrano1,2, Olga Gonza´ lez-Lo´ pez1,2, Anshuman Das2, Stanley M Lemon2,3* 1Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States; 2Department of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States; 3Department of Microbiology and Immunology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States Abstract Many ‘non-enveloped’ viruses, including hepatitis A virus (HAV), are released non- lytically from infected cells as infectious, quasi-enveloped virions cloaked in host membranes. Quasi-enveloped HAV (eHAV) mediates stealthy cell-to-cell spread within the liver, whereas stable naked virions shed in feces are optimized for environmental transmission. eHAV lacks virus- encoded surface proteins, and how it enters cells is unknown. We show both virion types enter by clathrin- and dynamin-dependent endocytosis, facilitated by integrin b1, and traffic through early and late endosomes. Uncoating of naked virions occurs in late endosomes, whereas eHAV undergoes ALIX-dependent trafficking to lysosomes where the quasi-envelope is enzymatically degraded and uncoating ensues coincident with breaching of endolysosomal membranes. Neither virion requires PLA2G16, a phospholipase essential for entry of other picornaviruses. Thus naked and quasi-enveloped virions enter via similar endocytic pathways, but uncoat in different compartments and release their genomes to the cytosol in a manner mechanistically distinct from other Picornaviridae.

The clinical phenotype of NP-C is extremely variable, ranging from an acute neonatal form to an adult late-onset presentation. To facilitate phenotype-genotype studies, we have analyzed multiple Israeli NP-C families. Methods: The severity of the disease was assessed by the age at onset, hepatic involvement, neurological deterioration, and cholesterol esterification studies. Screening of the entire NPC1 coding sequence allowed for molecular characterization and identification of disease causing mutations. Results: A total of nine NP-C index cases with mainly neurovisceral involvement were characterized. We demon- strated a possible link between the severity of the clinical phenotype and the cholesterol esterification levels in fibroblast cultures following 24 hours of in vitro cholesterol loading. In addition, we identified eight novel mutations in the NPC1 gene. Conclusions: Our results further support the clinical and allelic heterogeneity of NP-C and point to possible association between the clinical and the biochemical phenotype in distinct affected Israeli families.

    Al-Daghri et al. BMC Medicine 2012, 10:140 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/10/140 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Mammalian NPC1 genes may undergo positive selection and human polymorphisms associate with type 2 diabetes Nasser M Al-Daghri1,2,3*, Rachele Cagliani4, Diego Forni4, Majed S Alokail1,2,3, Uberto Pozzoli4, Khalid M Alkharfy1,2,3,5, Shaun Sabico1,2,3, Mario Clerici6,7† and Manuela Sironi4† Abstract Background: The NPC1 gene encodes a protein involved in intracellular lipid trafficking; its second endosomal loop (loop 2) is a receptor for filoviruses. A polymorphism (His215Arg) in NPC1 was associated with obesity in Europeans. Adaptations to diet and pathogens represented powerful selective forces; thus, we analyzed the evolutionary history of the gene and exploited this information for the identification of variants/residues of functional importance in human disease. Methods: We performed phylogenetic analysis, population genetic tests, and genotype-phenotype analysis in a population from Saudi Arabia. Results: Maximum-likelihood ratio tests indicated the action of positive selection on loop 2 and identified three residues as selection targets; these were confirmed by an independent random effects likelihood (REL) analysis. No selection signature was detected in present-day human populations, but analysis of nonsynonymous polymorphisms showed that a variant (Ile642Met, rs1788799) in the sterol sensing domain affects a highly conserved position. This variant and the previously described His215Arg polymorphism were tested for association with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a cohort from Saudi Arabia. Whereas no association with obesity was detected, 642Met allele was found to predispose to T2D. A significant interaction was noted with sex (P = 0.041), and stratification on the basis of gender indicated that the association is driven by men (P = 0.0021, OR = 1.5).

Prime examples are lysosomal storage disorders such as Niemann–Pick type C (NPC) disease, where defects in the endosomal–lysosomal protein NPC1 or NPC2 cause intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids leading to neurodegeneration and fatal neurovisceral symptoms. Here, we investigated the impact of NPC1 deficiency on rodent neurons using pharmacologic and genetic models of the disease. Improved ultrastructural detection of lipids and correlative light and electron microscopy identified lamellar inclusions as the subcellular site of cholesterol accumulation in neurons with impaired NPC1 activity. Immunogold labeling combined with transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of CD63 on internal lamellae and of LAMP1 on the membrane surrounding the inclusions, indicating their origins from intraluminal vesicles of late endosomes and of a lysosomal compartment, respectively.

In healthy individuals we identified MR1-restricted T cells (named MR1T cells) displaying diverse TCRs and reacting to MR1-expressing cells in the absence of microbial ligands. Analysis of MR1T cell clones revealed specificity for distinct cell-derived antigens and alternative transcriptional strategies for metabolic programming, cell cycle control and functional polarization following antigen stimulation. Phenotypic and functional characterization of MR1T cell clones showed multiple chemokine receptor expression profiles and secretion of diverse effector molecules, suggesting functional heterogeneity. Accordingly, MR1T cells exhibited distinct T helper-like capacities upon MR1-dependent recognition of target cells expressing physiological levels of surface MR1. These data extend the role of
