Human Endogenous Retroviruses Drive Type-I Interferon Signaling activation in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis

ABSTRACT: Substantial reactivation of HERVs was observed in both synovial tissues and PBMCs from early RA patients. Differentially expressed HERVs regulate adjacent ISGs expression by providing cis-regulatory elements. Moreover, excessive cytoplasmic HERVs trigger a type I interferon (IFN-I) response through the dsRNA-RIG-I-IRF3-IFN-I axis. Targeting endogenous retroviruses exhibited potential therapeutic benefits in both CIA mouse models and RA patient-derived ex vivo models. Specifically, the IFN-I inducible HERV.MLT2B2, a novel primate-specific retroelement, acts as a key driver of the antiviral gene IFI44L, establishing a positive feedback loop that amplifies IFN-I signaling.

Endogenous retroviruses promote aberrant T cell differentiation in systemic lupus erythematosus via the RIG-I pathway [SLE]

Project description:The dysregulated differentiation of T lymphocytes play an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we screened and identified many overexpressed HERVs in CD4+ T cells from SLE patients by RNA-seq and found that some HERVs formed dsRNAs to induce the activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway. And our findings reveal the roles and mechanism of HERVs and RIG-I in regulating the aberrant differentiation of T cells in SLE patients.

Gene expression in IRF3-/- peritoneal macrophage infected with VSV

Project description:IRF3 is one of the most critical transcription factor in down stream of pattern recognition receptors (such as toll-like receptor and RIG-I-like receptor) signalling pathway. IRF3 is known to induce the expression of type I IFN gene upon virus infection. To furter examine the role of IRF3 in virus-induced gene expression, we preformed microarray analysis in IRF3-/- peritoneal macrophages infected with VSV, and found that IRF3 suppresses the expression of Il12b gene. Peritoneal macrophages from WT of IRF3-/- B6 mice were infected with VSV(1 M.O.I. ) for 6 hous, and then subjected to microarray analysis.

Ultraviolet light induces HERV expression to activate RIG-I signaling pathway in keratinocytes

Project description:Skin inflammation and photosensitivity are common in lupus erythematosus (LE) patients, and Ultraviolet (UV) light is a known trigger of skin and possibly systemic inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) patients. Type I interferons (IFN) are upregulated in LE skin after UV exposure, however, the mechanisms to explain UVB-induced inflammation remain unclear. Here we performed RNA-seq to HaCat cells with UVB irradiation to characterize gene expression and resolve differential responses of keratinocytes, in order to understand how the keratinocyte response contributes to the disease. Our data showed that HERVs and RIG-I pathway were activated in keratinocytes after UVB exposure and indicate that RIG-I pathway and HERVs are involved in proinflammatory by activating the I-IFN pathway, which provide a novel insight into how UVB promotes and aggravate skin lesion of LE patients.

Endogenous retroviruses promote aberrant T cell differentiation in systemic lupus erythematosus via the RIG-I pathway [naïve]

Project description:The dysregulated differentiation of T lymphocytes play an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our findings reveal many overexpressed HERVs in CD4+ T cells from SLE patients. To investigate the role of dsRNA/RIG-I pathway in CD4+ T cell differentiation, RNA-seq was performed in CD3 and CD28 antibodies activated naive CD4+ T cells transfected with poly(I:C). The expression profiles of genes related to the effector T cell differentiation reveal that dsRNAs induced the activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway plays important roles in aberrant differentiation of T cells.

RNA-binding proteins hnRNPM and ELAVL1 promote type-I interferon induction downstream of the nucleic acid sensors cGAS and RIG-I

Project description:RIG-I like helicases (RLHs) and cGAS are crucial cytosolic sensors of viral RNA and DNA, respectively, and induce type I IFNs via TBK1/IKKε. hnRNPM was described to possess antimicrobial activities. Here, we show that hnRNPM promotes IRF3 phosphorylation and type I IFN induction downstream of cGAS and RIG-I in THP-1 cells and primary human fibroblasts. Interactome analysis revealed that hnRNPM forms a multiprotein complex with ELAVL1, TBK1, IKKε, IKKβ, and NF-κB p65. hnRNPM, ELAVL1, and TBK1 predominantly interacted in the cytosol. To our knowledge, hnRNPM and ELAVL1 represent the first non-redundant signaling components merging the cGAS-STING and RIG-I–MAVS pathways. Therefore, our findings may have implications for host defense and auto-inflammatory diseases.

Silencing of double stranded RNA sensing is required for early embryonic development

Project description:The type I interferon (IFN) response is inactive during early mammalian development and becomes functional only after gastrulation. As a result, the totipotent and pluripotent embryonic stages remain susceptible to pathogens, including viruses. Here, we demonstrate that pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) suppress the RIG-I-like receptor sensing pathway by silencing the expression of the dsRNA sensor MDA5. This silencing is necessary to avoid the recognition of dsRNAs of endogenous origin, which accumulate in mESCs. Reintroducing MDA5 results in recognition of these endogenous dsRNAs and triggers the activation of the IFN response through IRF3. The production of IFN alters the differentiation ability of mESCs, and affects the pluripotency gene expression program, as shown by epigenetic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. These findings are conserved in zebrafish, where MDA5 is also expressed at later developmental stages. Similarly, zebrafish lack earlystage IFN activation, and dsRNA-mediated signalling results in developmental defects. Altogether, we conclude that silencing the RIG-I-like receptor pathway during early development is widely conserved and is essential to prevent aberrant immune recognition of endogenous dsRNAs, safeguarding normal development.

Lung disease in relation to unique monocyte-macrophage subpopulations induced by combined inhalant endotoxin and collagen-induced arthritis

Project description:Lung disease is the most overrepresented cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Animal studies have demonstrated potentiated autoimmunity, arthritis, and profibrotic/inflammatory lung disease with a combination of airborne exposures and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a model that recapitulates features of RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). As patients with RA-ILD demonstrate unique circulating monocyte subpopulations, this study aims to characterize lung infiltrating monocytes/macrophages in a mouse model of RA-ILD and determine whether reducing these cells mitigates the development of lung disease. Autoimmune-prone DBA/1J mice received intranasal inhalation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) daily for up to 5 weeks and CIA induction. Experimental groups included Sham (saline injection/saline inhalation), CIA (CIA/saline), LPS (saline/LPS), and CIA+LPS (CIA/LPS). Lung disease was assessed by longitudinal imaging, lung function measurements, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissues, and lung histopathology. Cell subpopulations were analyzed by single cell RNA-sequencing. Unsupervised clustering revealed 16 discrete clusters among the experimental groups with 2 robust clusters characterized as infiltrating inflammatory monocytes/macrophages for both CIA+LPS and CIA. The interaction of inhalation-induced airway inflammation and autoimmune arthritis results in lung disease associated with uniquely activated infiltrating inflammatory monocytes-macrophages that mediate adverse lung consequences. Whereas the induced monocyte/Mɸ immunophenotype is more aligned to CIA than endotoxin exposure, co-exposure modeling renders unique features that potentially inform the pathogenesis and treatment of RA-ILD.

Small molecule RIG-I agonist serves to adjuvant broad, multifaceted influenza virus vaccine immunity

Project description:We identified a small molecule compound, KIN1148, that directly binds RIG-I to drive IRF3 and NF B activation and expression of innate immune genes, cytokines and chemokines. KIN1148 activates RIG-I in an RNA- and ATP-independent manner and does not induce a canonical antiviral interferon (IFN) gene program traditionally associated with RIG-I activation. When administered in combination with a vaccine against influenza A virus (IAV), KIN1148 induces both neutralizing antibody and broadly cross-protective IAV-specific T cell responses compared to vaccination alone, which induces poor responses. In this study, we demonstrate that KIN1148 directly engages RIG-I to activate IRF3- and NFB-dependent innate immune responses, making it the first small molecule RIG-I agonist to be identified. Biochemical studies show that KIN1148 binds to RIG-I to drive RIG-I self-oligomerization and downstream signaling activation in an RNA- and ATP-independent manner. We further find that transcriptional programs induced by KIN1148 treatment exhibit shared and unique signatures to that induced by other methods of RIG-I activation, including Sendai virus (SeV) infection and PAMP RNA transfection. KIN1148 adjuvants a split virus (SV) vaccine at suboptimal dose to protect mice from lethal challenge with a recombinant highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza virus, A/Vietnam/1203/2004.
