ABSTRACT Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a promising oncolytic (OV) against different malignancies, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In this study, we examined the role of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), catalytic subunit cellular writer complex that responsible for N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification, as potential host factor VSV replication in PDAC cells. METTL3 was previously shown to be upregulated PDAC, where it promotes cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance. The impact on life cycles viruses varies depending both type. Additionally, plays positive non-PDAC cells via m6A modification RNAs, which attenuates innate antiviral responses. 10 human lines uncovered two distinct outcomes. depletion did not affect with defective signaling, suggesting directly involved replication. contrast, dramatically inhibited functional signaling. We show result due RIG-I-dependent induction virus-independent, intrinsic state METTL3-depleted This marked by type-III (but type I or II) interferon secretion constitutive overexpression sensors [RIG-I (DDX58), MDA5 (IFIH1), LGP2 (DHX58)], transactivators (STAT1, IRF7, IRF9), diverse subset effectors, MX1, OAS1/2/3, IFIT1/3. IMPORTANCE Pancreatic deadly extremely challenging disease, making essential develop new treatment options improve patient survival rates. One approach use replication-competent “oncolytic viruses” designed specifically target destroy while sparing healthy ones. To create effective therapies cancer, crucial identify factors influence successful infection these viruses. Here, demonstrate protein METTL3, promote resistance chemotherapy, most tested lines. induces chronic inhibits viral Our study important understanding improving virus-based therapies.

The subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J), a retrovirus, uses its gp85 protein to bind the receptor, chicken sodium hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (chNHE1), facilitating viral invasion. ALV-J is main epidemic and shows noteworthy mutations within receptor-binding domain (RBD) region of gp85, especially in layer strains China. However, implications these on replication transmission remain elusive. In this study, strain JL08CH3-1 exhibited more robust ability than prototype HPRS103, which related variations protein. Notably, demonstrated heightened binding capacity chNHE1 compared HPRS103-gp85 binding. Furthermore, we showed that specific N123I mutation contributed enhanced chNHE1. Structural analysis indicated primarily stability expanded interaction interface, increased number bonds at interface increase between We found not only improved but also promoted shedding vivo . These comprehensive data underscore notion increases receptor intensifies replication.

The field of mRNA modifications has been steadily growing in recent years as technologies have improved and the importance these residues became clear. However, a subfield also arisen, specifically focused on how affect viral RNA, with possibility that viruses can be used model to best determine role play cellular mRNAs.

Posttranscriptional modifications have been implicated in regulation of nearly all biological aspects cellular RNAs, from stability, translation, splicing, nuclear export to localization. Chemical also revealed for virus derived RNAs several decades before, along with the potential their regulatory roles infection. Due dynamic changes RNA during infection, illustrating mechanisms epigenetic regulations remains a challenge. Nevertheless, many studies indicated that these marks may directly regulate infection through antiviral innate immune responses. The present review summarizes impacts important on viral including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytidine (m5C), 2'-O-methylation (2'-O-Methyl), and few uncanonical nucleotides (A-to-I editing, pseudouridine), immunity relevant signaling pathways, while highlighting significance responses

ABSTRACT Despite effective antiretroviral therapy reducing HIV-1 viral loads to undetectable levels, the presence of latently infected CD4 + T cells poses a major barrier cure. N 6 -methyladenosine (m A) modification and cellular RNA has functional role in regulating infection. m A can affect its stability, translation, splicing suppresses type-I interferon induction macrophages. However, function latency reactivation remains unknown. We used Jurkat cell line-derived model (J-Lat cells) investigate changes levels response reversal. observed significant increase total upon latent J-Lat cells. This was transient returned steady-state despite continued high gene expression reactivated compared control Upregulation occurred without protein writers or erasers that add remove A, respectively. Knockdown significantly reduced reactivation. Treatment with an writer inhibitor along reduction Furthermore, using A-specific sequencing, we identified RNAs are differentially A-modified during validates these results established primary latency. These show importance IMPORTANCE is important for innate immune responses significance To address this question, study, models latency, sequencing at single-base resolution, assays. demonstrate reversal leads increased modification, correlates dependent on catalytic activity methyltransferase enzyme. also genes reactivation, as well sites within RNA.

However, function primary CD4 + T cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Jurkat promotes interaction between writer complex subunits methyltransferase-like 3 14 (METTL3/METTL14). Using single-base A-specific sequencing, identified several differentially A-modified mRNAs, including perilipin ( PLIN3 ), Interestingly, increased level by enhancing its but protein was decreased. Knocking down reduced production enhanced virion infectivity. In contrast, cells, were unaffected infection, knocking out did not impact or These results indicate interplay cell-type specific only observed Overall, our highlight importance HIV-1-infected suggest significance as regulatory mechanism Author Summary common chemical on helps control important for this study, found two proteins, METTL3 METTL14, are responsible adding modifications to RNA. mRNAs with altered one called . stabilized levels, When knocked it decreased made particles more infectious. line, affect knockout alter infectivity, suggesting effect Our findings show host like unique infected
