    Abstract Exosomes are small subtypes of extracellular vesicles (EVs) naturally released by different types of cells into their environment. Their physiological roles appear to be multiple, yet many aspects of their biological activities remain to be understood. These vesicles can transport and deliver a variety of cargoes and may serve as unconventional secretory vesicles. Thus, they play a crucial role as important vectors for intercellular communication and the maintenance of homeostasis. Exosome production and content can vary under several stresses or modifications in the cell microenvironment, influencing cellular responses and stimulating immunity. During infectious processes, exosomes are described as double-edged swords, displaying both beneficial and detrimental effects. Owing to their tractability, the analysis of EVs from multiple biofluids has become a booming tool for monitoring various pathologies, from infectious to cancerous origins. In this review, we present an overview of exosome features and discuss their particular and ambiguous functions in infectious contexts. We then focus on their properties as diagnostic or therapeutic tools. In this regard, we explore the capacity of exosomes to vectorize immunogenic viral antigens and their function in mounting adaptive immune responses. As exosomes provide interesting platforms for antigen presentation, we further review the available data on exosome engineering, which enables peptides of interest to be exposed at their surface. In the light of all these data, exosomes are emerging as promising avenues for vaccine strategies.

    Abstract Zika virus (ZIKV), has gained global attention due to its association with severe disorders, including microcephaly and congenital Zika syndrome. We investigated the role of ZIKV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) in altering the host's antioxidant response. Using a stable cell line expressing NS1, we found that NS1 significantly reduced the expression of antioxidant-related genes, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), and sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1), which are regulated NRF2. Interestingly, this effect was attributed to increased expression of BACH1, a factor that competes with NRF2 for binding to certain antioxidant responsive elements (ARE). Thus, ZIKV NS1-mediated disruption of the antioxidant system is linked to BACH1 overexpression. These findings offer insights into ZIKV pathogenesis and suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting the NRF2-BACH1 axis.

    Abstract Alterations in cell cycle regulation contribute to Zika virus (ZIKV)-associated pathogenesis and may have implications for the development of therapeutic avenues. As a matter of fact, ZIKV alters cell cycle progression at multiple stages, including G1, S, G2, and M phases. During a cell cycle, the progression of mitosis is particularly controlled to avoid any abnormalities in cell division. In this regard, the critical metaphase-anaphase transition is triggered by the activation of anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) by its E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit Cdc20. Cdc20 recognizes substrates by interacting with a destruction box motif (D-box). Recently, the ZIKV nonstructural protein 5 (NS5), one of the most highly conserved flavivirus proteins, has been shown to localize to the centrosome in each pole and to spindle fibers during mitosis. Inducible expression of NS5 reveals an interaction of this viral factor with centrosomal proteins leading to an increase in the time required to complete mitosis. By analyzing the NS5 sequence, we discovered the presence of a D-box. Taken together, these data support the idea that, in addition to its role in viral replication, NS5 plays a critical role in the control of the cell cycle of infected cells and, more specifically, in the regulation of the mitotic spindle. Here we propose that the NS5 protein may interfere with the metaphase-anaphase progression, and thus cause the observed delay in mitosis via the regulation of APC/C.

    Abstract Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic member of the flavivirus family, with several unique characteristics. Unlike any other arbovirus, ZIKV can be transmitted sexually and maternally, and thus produce congenital syndromes (CZS) due to its neurotropism. This challenges the search for safe active molecules that can protect pregnant women and their fetuses. In this context, and in the absence of any existing treatment, it seemed worthwhile to test whether the known cytoprotective properties of adiponectin and its pharmacological analog, AdipoRon, could influence the outcome of ZIKV infection. We showed that both AdipoRon and adiponectin could significantly reduce the in vitro infection of A549 epithelial cells, a well-known cell model for flavivirus infection studies. This effect was particularly observed when a pre-treatment was carried out. Conversely, ZIKV revealed an ability to downregulate adiponectin receptor expression and thereby limit adiponectin signaling.

    Abstract In recent years, the emergence of the concept of immunometabolism has shed light on the pivotal role that cellular metabolism plays in both the activation of immune cells and the development of immune programs. The antiviral response, a widely distributed defense mechanism used by infected cells, serves to not only control infections but also to attenuate their deleterious effects. The exploration of the role of metabolism in orchestrating the antiviral response represents a burgeoning area of research, especially considering the escalating incidence of viral outbreaks coupled with the increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases. Here, we present a review of current knowledge regarding immunometabolism and the antiviral response during viral infections. Initially, we delve into the concept of immunometabolism by examining its application in the field of cancer-a domain that has long spearheaded inquiries into this fascinating intersection of disciplines. Subsequently, we explore examples of immune cells whose activation is intricately regulated by metabolic processes. Progressing with a systematic and cellular approach, our aim is to unravel the potential role of metabolism in antiviral defense, placing significant emphasis on the innate and canonical interferon response.

    Abstract Flaviviruses replicate in membrane factories associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Significant levels of flavivirus viral protein accumulation contribute to ER stress. As a consequence, the host cell exhibits an Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), subsequently stimulating appropriate cellular responses such as adaptation, autophagy or apoptosis. The correct redox conditions of this compartment are essential to forming native disulfide bonds in proteins. Zika virus (ZIKV) has the ability to induce persistent ER stress leading to the activation of UPR pathways. In this study, we wondered whether ZIKV affects the redox balance and consequently the oxidative protein folding in the ER. We found that ZIKV replication influences the redox state, leading to the aggregation of the viral envelope protein as amyloid-like structures in the infected cells.

    Abstract Accumulation of misfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) induces an unfolded protein response (UPR) that either restores homeostasis or triggers apoptosis in case of adaptation failure. The three activated branches of UPR lead to IRE1-, PERK- and ATF6- dependent transcriptional induction of the gene encoding the transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) which plays an important role in apoptosis induction. In conventional immunoblotting conditions, detection of CHOP is a difficult task. Using a fixation step, we have optimized the detection of CHOP and this method provides a valuable tool to decipher CHOP involvement in UPR.

    Abstract Cell death by apoptosis is a major cellular response in the control of tissue homeostasis and as a defense mechanism in the case of cellular aggression such as an infection. Cell self-destruction is part of antiviral responses, aimed at limiting the spread of a virus. Although it may contribute to the deleterious effects in infectious pathology, apoptosis remains a key mechanism for viral clearance and the resolution of infection. The control mechanisms of cell death processes by viruses have been extensively studied. Apoptosis can be triggered by different viral determinants through different pathways as a result of virally induced cell stresses and innate immune responses. Zika virus (ZIKV) induces Zika disease in humans, which has caused severe neurological forms, birth defects, and microcephaly in newborns during the last epidemics. ZIKV also surprised by revealing an ability to persist in the genital tract and in semen, thus being sexually transmitted. Mechanisms of diverting antiviral responses such as the interferon response, the role of cytopathic effects and apoptosis in the etiology of the disease have been widely studied and debated. In this review, we examined the interplay between ZIKV infection of different cell types and apoptosis and how the virus deals with this cellular response. We illustrate a duality in the effects of ZIKV-controlled apoptosis, depending on whether it occurs too early or too late, respectively, in neuropathogenesis, or in long-term viral persistence. We further discuss a prospective role for apoptosis in ZIKV-related therapies, and the use of ZIKV as an oncolytic agent.

    Abstract Adiponectin exhibits pleiotropic effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidant, and neuroprotective ones. Although some studies have documented brain expression in different rodent models of its receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, their global distribution remains incomplete. Here, we demonstrated that both AdipoR are widely distributed in the brains of adult mice. Furthermore, by double immunostaining studies, we showed that AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 are mainly expressed in neurons and blood vessels. Then, considering the wide distribution of both receptors and the neuroprotective effects of adiponectin, we tested the therapeutic effect of a single injection of the adiponectin receptor agonist, AdipoRON (5 mg.kg
