Flaviviruses
Edit

Flaviviruses are arthropod-borne RNA viruses that have been used extensively to study host antiviral responses. Often selected just to represent standard single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses in early studies, the Flavivirus genus over time has taught us how truly unique it is in its remarkable ability to target not just the RNA sensory pathways but also the cytosolic DNA sensing system for its successful replication inside the host cell. This review summarizes the main developments on the unexpected antagonistic strategies utilized by different flaviviruses, with RNA genomes, against the host cyclic GAMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) cytosolic DNA sensing pathway in mammalian systems. On the basis of the recent advancements on this topic, we hypothesize that the mechanisms of viral sensing and innate immunity are much more fluid than what we had anticipated, and both viral and host factors will continue to be found as important factors contributing to the host innate immune system in the future.

1. Introduction

Flaviviruses are a group of important emerging and re-emerging pathogens that are mostly arthropod-borne. Several members of the genus, such as dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), are major international public health concerns [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Flaviviruses’ viral particles consist of three structural proteins, a lipid envelope, and a positive-sense genomic RNA about 11 kb in length with structurally relevant non-coding regions on both the 3′ and 5′ ends. Their genomes encode a single polyprotein that is processed during and after translation by both host and viral proteases into ten individual proteins (Figure 1) [7].

Figure 1. Schematic of a flavivirus polyprotein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Capsid (C), prM, and envelop (E) proteins facilitate viral entry and maturation, while the other seven nonstructural (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5) proteins are responsible for viral replication, viral particle assembly, and maturation. Viral and host proteases cleavage sites are indicated by arrows. NS4A C-terminal transmembrane domain 2K is also shown (adapted from J.R Rodriguez-Madoz, unpublished).

Out of the ten, three are structural proteins (capsid, prM, and envelope) that facilitate viral entry and maturation, and seven are nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5) that are responsible for viral replication, viral particle assembly, and maturation [8]. Because of their limited number of proteins, flaviviruses must rely on clever strategies to antagonize host innate and adaptive immune systems to replicate successfully [3][9]. Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), an important adaptor of the human innate immune DNA sensory pathway, has been reported to be targeted for degradation by DENV, an RNA virus, to inhibit innate immune responses [10][11]. These observations led the way for additional studies on flaviviruses’ direct regulation on this host cytosolic DNA sensing system, which will be the focus of this review.

2. Innate Immune System

2.1. Overview

The clearing of an infection caused by pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites) in humans is usually the result of a close collaboration between two major types of immune responses, namely the innate and adaptive immunity. During such an infection, a local innate immune response serves to quickly detect and contain the infection and then, through the help of a heterogeneous group of immune cells (such as Langerhans cells and other dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells, T cells, and others), activate an adaptive immune response that would further control and eventually eliminate the infection [12]. Given that innate immunity plays an essential role in the host’s defense against pathogen invasions, it is perhaps not surprising that many viruses have successfully evolved strategies to regulate or even antagonize the innate immune system during their early stages of infection [13][14]. Robust innate immune responses must rely on an extensive and sensitive network of surveillance proteins, or pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), to detect intruders exhibiting pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and mount proinflammatory and antimicrobial responses. In order to counter them, viruses have evolved ways to avoid detection and make sure they can “fly under the radar” and establish infection in the host [15][16][17].

The list for the currently known innate immune PRRs is extensive and has been steadily expanding in the past three decades since the discovery of the first Toll-like receptors (TLRs) by Hoffmann in 1996 after Janeway’s earlier prediction [18]. Now, the field has advanced tremendously beyond the TLR family, adding new sensors like the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family and its subfamilies (such as NLRP), RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) family, 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) family, DEAD box polypeptide 41 (DDX41), stimulator of interferon genes (STING), cyclic GAMP synthase (cGAS), IFN-γ-inducible protein 16 (IFI16), and others to the long roster of molecular sentinels watching the host cellular space [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. These receptors and their respective signaling pathways have been actively studied and described based on the pathogen components that they detect (foreign lipids, proteins, or nucleic acid structures or sequences) along with their proposed cellular localizations [27][28].

2.2. Viral Nucleic Acid Sensing

Because in most types of cells, active replication of viruses results in an accumulation of intracellular nucleic acids, both host cytosolic DNA and RNA sensors and their respective pathways have been areas of active investigation in the innate immunity field after their discoveries [29][30]. These nucleic acid sensors are capable of detecting their respective ligands, initiating signaling cascades through interaction with adaptor proteins, triggering expression of type I interferons (IFN-I), and mounting an innate immune response by the release of cellular proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, all of which are essential in defending against viral infection [14][17][31][32][33][34]. Additionally, in response to IFN-I production, there is an induction of IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) in the same cell and bystander cells that results in an inhibition of viral replication in those cells, which is termed the antiviral state [35]. More recently, the sensors’ ability (or inability) to differentiate self versus non-self elements in the cellular space has caught the attention of a wide number of groups that are actively investigating their roles in mutagenesis and autoimmune diseases [36][37][38][39].

2.3. Innate Immune DNA Sensors

Host DNA sensors known to play important innate immune functions include TLR9, IFI16, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), DDX41, cGAS, and others. Detailed reviews of the current list of DNA sensors have been published extensively by different groups [14][34][40][41]. In this review, we will highlight some key players that have been intensely studied in the field of viral innate immunity.

It is worth pointing out that TLR9 mainly serves as the endosomal DNA sensor, while others are known to play parts in detection of DNA in the cytosolic space. After activation by unmethylated CpG-DNA in the endolysosomal system, TLR9 responds by either engaging interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) to induce IFN-I production or recruiting nuclear factor NF-κB, which leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines [42][43]. IFI16, a member of the IFN-inducible Pyrin and HIN domain (PYHIN) gene family, was first characterized as a nuclear protein as it harbors a nuclear localization signal (NLS) in the N-terminus [44]. Since then, reports have surfaced finding IFI16 in both nuclear and cytoplasm compartments across different cell types [45]. Although more studies are needed to understand the exact mechanisms governing its subcellular localization, IFI16 is known to induce the activation of inflammasomes as well as the IFN-I response via a STING-dependent manner after detecting dsDNA, or other nucleotide structures [46][47][48]. More on the STING activation pathway will be discussed in the next section. AIM2, also a member of the PYHIN family, was characterized as the activator of the inflammasome and pyroptosome responses after cytoplasmic DNA detection [49]. The assembly of inflammasomes leads to the activation of downstream inflammatory caspases, which in turn can mediate important proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-l beta (IL-lβ) and IL-18 production and pyroptosis, a proinflammatory type of cell death [50][51]. DDX41 was first identified as an intracellular DNA sensor in dendritic cells during a siRNA screen among 59 members in the DEAD box family [52]. It can directly bind DNA and STING and activate IFN-I production through a STING-dependent pathway [24]. Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1, also known as DAI) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that has been implicated in RNA virus sensing (more on ZBP1 and Flavivirus will be discussed later in this review) [53][54][55]. The current list of proposed cytosolic DNA sensors will eventually include proteins that are previously known to have been involved in DNA damage response pathways, transcription, inflammasome assemblies, and other cellular functions [56][57][58][59][60]. Although there are a few publications on some of these DNA sensors and their proposed roles in controlling Flavivirus infection in different biological systems, there is yet to be any evidence of antagonism of these pathways by flaviviruses, other than the cGAS/STING pathway [61][62][63][64].

2.4. cGAS/STING Pathway

Among all the known innate immune sensors that recognize DNA, the cGAS/STING pathway has served as the principal human cytosolic DNA sensing system (RIG-I/MAVS pathway being the main cytosolic RNA sensing counterpart) ever since their respective discoveries in 2013 and 2008 [14][23][65][66][67]. It is also the host DNA sensing pathway that has been shown to be most implicated during flaviviruses replication and studied in that context. This innate immune sensory system surveys the host cytosolic space for double-stranded DNA and RNA/DNA hybrids regardless of the specific sequence, whose presence usually indicates a pathogen infection or DNA damage inside the nucleus [37][68][69][70]. Activated cGAS produces secondary messenger 2′3′-cGAMP through dimerization that can diffuse across neighboring cells and bind and activate downstream adaptor STING [71][72].

STING (also known as MITA, MPYS, ERIS, or TMEM173) is a transmembrane innate immune signaling adaptor that relays alert signals from activated cGAS to IFN-I and NF-κB pathways in order to mount an inflammatory response against the detected danger signal [31][32]. At resting state, STING associates with stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) until it interacts with cGAMP (produced by cGAS or endogenously by bacteria), which disrupts this interaction and induces STING to translocate from the ER to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) to recruit and activate TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), followed by the recruitment and activation of IRF3. The dimerized IRF3 can then translocate into the nucleus and promote IFN-I expression, which leads to a global upregulation of a set of ISGs critical for mounting an effective innate immune defense against sources of danger [72][73][74]. Aside from cGAS, STING seems to also play a part in downstream signaling of other DNA sensors (such as DDX41 and IFI16) [20][24][56][75].

In addition to its canonical role played in the cytosolic DNA sensory pathway, STING also was reported to interact with mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS, also known as VISA, IPS-1, or Cardif) both in the presence and absence of Sendai virus (SeV) infection and with RIG-I during SeV infection [65]. In another report, endogenous STING was shown to associate with RIG-I in normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) either directly or indirectly as a complex [67]. Other groups have since reported more evidence on this interaction [76][77]. However, the exact role STING plays in cytosolic RNA sensing and anti-RNA virus defense is still unclear and needs further exploration [78].

As we learn more about the mechanisms behind cGAS/STING sensing and activation, it has become increasingly clear that this pathway plays an essential role in host innate immunity, especially in regulating antiviral responses [79]. This is perhaps why many viruses, mostly DNA viruses, are found to have evolved strategies to target this pathway for disruption. An excellent review of different ways DNA viruses sabotage this cellular information relay highway was published by Ahn and Barber [80]. For more on the history of the cGAS/STING signaling pathway’s discovery and what we currently know about its various broader cellular functions, readers are suggested to consult this detailed review [81]. For the remainder of this review, the focus will be on how one specific genus of RNA virus, namely flaviviruses, has helped widen our understanding of the scope of cGAS/STING innate immune sensing in the context of antiviral defense. We will focus on several members of this genus and their different strategies in regulating cGAS or STING to illustrate the current knowledge on this topic (summarized in Table 1).
