    Abstract Type I interferons (IFNs) exhibit strong antiviral activity and induce the expression of antiviral proteins. Since excessive expression of type I IFNs is harmful to the host, their expression should be turned off at the appropriate time. In this study, we find that post-translational modification of LGP2, a member of the RIG-I-like receptor family, modulates antiviral innate immune responses. The LGP2 protein undergoes K63-linked polyubiquitination in response to cytoplasmic double-stranded RNAs or viral infection. Our mass spectrometry analysis reveals the K residues ubiquitinated by the Riplet ubiquitin ligase. LGP2 ubiquitination occurs with a delay compared to RIG-I ubiquitination. Interestingly, ubiquitination-defective LGP2 mutations increase the expression of type I IFN at a late phase, whereas the mutant proteins attenuate other antiviral proteins, such as SP100, PML, and ANKRD1. Our data indicate that delayed polyubiquitination of LGP2 fine-tunes RIG-I-dependent antiviral innate immune responses at a late phase of viral infection.

    Abstract RIG-I-like receptors (RLR), RIG-I and MDA5, are cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors that recognize viral double-stranded RNAs and trigger signals to induce antiviral responses, including type I interferon production. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. However, the RLR role in innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 has not been fully elucidated. Here, we studied the roles of RLR in cytokine expression responding to SARS-CoV-2 and found that not only MDA5 but also RIG-I are involved in innate immune responses in some types of human cells. Transfection of total RNAs extracted from SARS-CoV-2-infected cells into epithelial cells induced IFN-β, IP-10, and Ccl5 mRNA expression. The cytokine expression was reduced by knockout of either RIG-I or MDA5, suggesting that both proteins are required for appropriate innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Two viral genomic RNA regions strongly induced type I IFN expression, and a 200-base fragment of viral RNA preferentially induced type I IFN in a RIG-I-dependent manner. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infectious particles hardly induced cytokine expression, suggesting viral escape from the host response. Viral 9b protein inhibited RIG-I and MAVS interaction, and viral 7a protein destabilized the TBK1 protein, leading to attenuated IRF-3 phosphorylation required for type I IFN expression. Our data elucidated the mechanism underlying RLR-mediated response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral escape from the host innate immune response.

    Abstract Aging-associated changes in the immune system often lead to immune dysfunction; however, the mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon have yet to be fully elucidated. This study found that the microRNA-192 (miR-192) is an aging-associated immune regulatory microRNA whose concentration was significantly increased in aged extracellular vesicles (EVs) due to the hyperinflammatory state of aged mice. Interestingly, EV miR-192 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages. In our aged mouse model, aging was associated with prolonged inflammation in the lung upon stimulation with inactivated influenza whole virus particles (WVP), whereas EV miR-192 alleviated the prolonged inflammation associated with aging. The hyperinflammatory state of aged mice resulted in reduced production of specific antibodies and efficacy of vaccination with WVP; however, EV miR-192 attenuated this hyperinflammatory state and improved vaccination efficacy in aged mice. Our data indicate that aged EVs constitute a negative feedback loop that alleviates aging-associated immune dysfunction.

    Abstract Cervical cancer is caused mostly by human papillomavirus (HPV), and several HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent its onset. Vaccines include antigens as well as adjuvants, with adjuvants playing an important role in activating the innate immune responses necessary for inducing adaptive immunological responses. Recent research has shown the presence of trained immunity inside the innate immune system. However, trained immunity conferred by HPV vaccinations is not well understood. In this work, we explored the innate immune responses and trained immunity caused by two HPV vaccines, Cervarix and Gardasil. Cervarix includes monophosphoryl lipid A and an aluminum adjuvant, and it significantly increased the expression of IL-6 and IFN-β mRNAs in RAW264.7 cells. On the contrary, Gardasil, which only includes an aluminum adjuvant, exhibited little cytokine expression but increased the expression of TLRs. Furthermore, Cervarix significantly increased IL-1β secretion from mouse macrophages, while Gardasil only mildly induced IL-1β secretion. Interestingly, initial stimulation with Gardasil enhanced the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNAs upon secondary stimulation with TLR ligands, indicating that Gardasil induced trained immunity in macrophages. Moreover, Gardasil injection into mice resulted in enhanced TNF-α production in sera following secondary TLR stimulation. Our findings suggest that HPV vaccinations have the ability to induce trained immunity that modulate TLR ligand responses.

    Abstract Excessive innate immune response is harmful to the host, and aberrant activation of the cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors RIG-I and MDA5 leads to autoimmune disorders. ZNF598 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ribosome quality control pathway. It is also involved in the suppression of interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene (ISG) expression; however, its underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we show that ZNF598 is a negative regulator of the RIG-I-mediated signaling pathway, and endogenous ZNF598 protein binds to RIG-I. ZNF598 ubiquitin ligase activity is dispensable for the suppression of RIG-I signaling. Instead, ZNF598 delivers a ubiquitin-like protein FAT10 to the RIG-I protein, resulting in the inhibition of RIG-I polyubiquitination, which is required for triggering downstream signaling to produce type I IFN. Moreover, ZNF598-mediated suppression is abrogated by FAT10 knockout. Our data elucidate the mechanism by which ZNF598 inhibits RIG-I-mediated innate immune response.

    Abstract mRNA-based vaccines have been used globally to eradicate the coronavirus-disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Vaccine efficacy and adverse reactions depend on immune responses, such as proinflammatory cytokine production and lymphocyte activation. We conducted a prospective cohort study to investigate relationships among specific antibody titers, adverse reactions, proinflammatory cytokine production, and immune-regulatory microRNA (miRNA) levels in serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) after COVID-19 vaccination (BNT162b2). Local adverse reactions after the second dose, such as local pain and swelling, were less correlated with those of systemic symptoms, such as fever and muscle pain, whereas serum TNF-α levels were associated with systemic adverse reactions and with specific antibody titers. Interestingly, EV miR-92a-2-5p levels in sera were negatively correlated with degrees of adverse reactions, and EV miR-148a levels were associated with specific antibody titers. Our data suggest a potential of circulating EV miRNAs as biomarkers for vaccine efficacy and adverse reactions.

    Abstract RIG-I, a cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor, is crucial for innate antiviral immune responses; however, there are controversies about the regulatory mechanism of RIG-I by several ubiquitin ligases and LGP2. This study revealed that the RIPLET ubiquitin ligase is a general activating factor for RIG-I signaling. In contrast, another ubiquitin ligase, TRIM25, activated RIG-I in a cell-type-specific manner. RIPLET and TRIM25 functions were modulated by accessory factors, such as ZCCH3C and NLRP12. Interestingly, we found an additional role of RIPLET in innate immune responses. RIPLET induced delayed polyubiquitination of LGP, resulting in the attenuation of excessive cytokine expression at the late phase. Moreover, RIPLET was involved in the innate immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 infection, a cause of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Our data indicate that RIPLET fine-tunes innate immune responses via polyubiquitination of RIG-I and LGP2 against virus infection, including SARS-CoV-2.
