    Abstract A complete cure against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains out of reach, as the virus persists in stable cell reservoirs that are resistant to antiretroviral therapy. The key to eliminating these reservoirs lies in deciphering the processes that govern viral gene expression and latency. However, while we comprehensively understand how host proteins influence HIV gene expression and viral latency, the emerging role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the context of T cell activation, HIV gene expression, and viral latency remain unexplored. This review dives into the evolving significance of lncRNAs and their impact on HIV gene expression and viral latency. We provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding how lncRNAs regulate HIV gene expression, categorizing them as either activators or inhibitors of viral gene expression and infectivity. Furthermore, we offer insights into the potential therapeutic applications of lncRNAs in combatting HIV. A deeper understanding of how lncRNAs modulate HIV gene transcription holds promise for developing novel RNA-based therapies to complement existing treatment strategies to eradicate HIV reservoirs.

    Abstract Enhanced viral transmission and escape from vaccine-elicited neutralizing antibodies drive worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants and promote disease progression. However, the impact of specific spike mutations that are carried by different viral variants on viral infectivity and neutralization sensitivity has not been completely defined. Here, we use pseudoviruses to assess the contribution of spike mutations within the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) and the Furin Cleavage Site (FCS), and appear in circulating viral variants, on viral infectivity and neutralization potential against sera that was drawn from fully vaccinated individuals. Our functional analysis demonstrates that single, P681H, P681R or A701V-FCS mutations do not play a role in viral infectivity and neutralization potential. However, when in conjunction with the RBD-N501Y mutation, viral infectivity is enhanced. Similarly, combining the E484K-RBD mutation to the spike that carries FCS mutations reduces neutralization sensitivity with no effects on viral infectivity. Employing a similar approach onto the spike from Delta or Lota SARS-CoV-2 variants further reveals that specific RBD mutations affect neutralization sensitivity or viral infectivity differently. Our results validate the efficacy of the Pfizer third dose vaccine against Delta and Lota SARS-CoV-2 variants, and outline the significance of distinct RBD mutations in promoting viral infectivity and neutralization sensitivity to post-vaccination sera.

    Abstract A review of the multidisciplinary scientific literature reveals a large variety of amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomeric species, differing in molecular weight, conformation and morphology. These species, which may assemble via either on- or off-aggregation pathways, exhibit differences in stability, function and neurotoxicity, according to different experimental settings. The conformations of the different Aβ species are stabilized by intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds and by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, all depending on the chemical and physical environment (e.g., solvent, ions, pH) and interactions with other molecules, such as lipids and proteins. This complexity and the lack of a complete understanding of the relationship between the different Aβ species and their toxicity is currently dictating the nature of the inhibitor (or inducer)-based approaches that are under development for interfering with (or inducing) the formation of specific species and Aβ oligomerization, and for interfering with the associated downstream neurotoxic effects. Here, we review the principles that underlie the involvement of different Aβ oligomeric species in neurodegeneration, both in vitro and in preclinical studies. In addition, we provide an overview of the existing inhibitors (or inducers) of Aβ oligomerization that serve as potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. The review, which covers the exciting studies that have been published in the past few years, comprises three main parts: 1) on- and off-fibrillar assembly mechanisms and Aβ structural polymorphism; 2) interactions of Aβ with other molecules and cell components that dictate the Aβ aggregation pathway; and 3) targeting the on-fibrillar Aβ assembly pathway as a therapeutic approach.

    Abstract The implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has effectively restricted the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and improved overall clinical outcomes. However, a complete cure for HIV remains out of reach, as the virus persists in a stable pool of infected cell reservoir that is resistant to therapy and thus a main barrier towards complete elimination of viral infection. While the mechanisms by which host proteins govern viral gene expression and latency are well-studied, the emerging regulatory functions of non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) in the context of T cell activation, HIV gene expression and viral latency have not yet been thoroughly explored. Here, we report the identification of the Cytoskeleton Regulator (CYTOR) long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) as an activator of HIV gene expression that is upregulated following T cell stimulation. Functional studies show that CYTOR suppresses viral latency by directly binding to the HIV promoter and associating with the cellular positive transcription elongation factor (P-TEFb) to activate viral gene expression. CYTOR also plays a global role in regulating cellular gene expression, including those involved in controlling actin dynamics. Depletion of CYTOR expression reduces cytoplasmic actin polymerization in response to T cell activation. In addition, treating HIV-infected cells with pharmacological inhibitors of actin polymerization reduces HIV gene expression. We conclude that both direct and indirect effects of CYTOR regulate HIV gene expression.

    Abstract Despite the widespread use of anti-retroviral therapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) still persists in an infected cell reservoir that harbors transcriptionally silent yet replication-competent proviruses. While significant progress has been made in understanding how the HIV reservoir is established, transcription repression mechanisms that are enforced on the integrated viral promoter have not been fully revealed. In this study, we performed a whole-genome CRISPR knockout screen in HIV infected T cells to identify host genes that potentially promote HIV latency. Of several top candidates, the KRAB-containing zinc finger protein, ZNF304, was identified as the top hit. ZNF304 silences HIV gene transcription through associating with TRIM28 and recruiting to the viral promoter heterochromatin-inducing methyltransferases, including the polycomb repression complex (PRC) and SETB1. Depletion of ZNF304 expression reduced levels of H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub repressive histone marks on the HIV promoter as well as SETB1 and TRIM28, ultimately enhancing HIV gene transcription. Significantly, ZNF304 also promoted HIV latency, as its depletion delayed the entry of HIV infected cells into latency. In primary CD4+ cells, ectopic expression of ZNF304 silenced viral transcription. We conclude that by associating with TRIM28 and recruiting host transcriptional repressive complexes, SETB1 and PRC, to the HIV promoter, ZNF304 silences HIV gene transcription and promotes viral latency.

    Abstract Pivotal studies on the control of HIV transcription has laid the foundations for our understanding of how metazoan transcription is executed, and what are the factors that control this step. Part of this work established a role for DRB Sensitivity Inducing Factor (DSIF), consisting of Spt4 and Spt5, in promoting pause-release of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) for optimal elongation. However, while there has been substantial progress in understanding the role of DSIF in mediating HIV gene transcription, its involvement in establishing viral latency has not been explored. Moreover, the effects of depleting Spt4 or Spt5, or simultaneously knocking down both subunits of DSIF have not been examined. In this study, we employed CRISPR interference (CRIPSRi) to knockdown the expression of Spt4, Spt5 or the entire DSIF complex, and monitored effects on HIV transcription and viral latency. Knocking down DSIF, or each of its subunits, inhibited HIV transcription, primarily at the step of Tat transactivation. This was accompanied by a decrease in promoter occupancy of Pol II and Cdk9, and to a lesser extent, AFF4. Interestingly, targeting the expression of one subunit of DSIF, reduced the protein stability of its counterpart partner. Moreover, depletion of Spt4, Spt5 or DSIF complex impaired cell growth, but did not cause cell death. Finally, knockdown of Spt4, Spt5 or DSIF, facilitated entry of HIV into latency. We conclude that each DSIF subunit plays a role in maintaining the stability of its other partner, achieving optimal function of the DSIF to enhance viral gene transcription.

    Abstract COVID-19 disease is associated with an increased risk of thrombotic complications, which contribute to high short-term mortality. Patients with COVID-19 demonstrate enhanced platelet turnover and reactivity, which may have a role in the development of thrombotic events and disease severity. Evidence has suggested direct interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and platelets, resulting in platelets activation. Here, we compare the effect of various SARS-CoV-2 spike variants on platelet activation. Engineered lentiviral particles were pseudotyped with spike SARS-CoV-2 variants and incubated with Platelet Rich Plasma obtained from healthy individuals. The pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 exhibiting the wild-type Wuhan-Hu spike protein stimulated platelets to increase expression of the surface CD62P and activated αIIbβ3 markers by 3.5 ± 1.2 and 3.3 ± 0.7 fold, respectively (P = 0.004 and 0.003). The Delta variant induced much higher levels of platelet activation; CD62P expression was increased by 6.6 ± 2.2 fold and activated αIIbβ3 expression was increased by 5.0 ± 1.5 fold (P = 0.005 and 0.026, respectively). The Omicron BA.1 and the Alpha variants induced the lowest level of activation; CD62P expression was increased by 1.7 ± 0.4 and 1.6 ± 0.9 fold, respectively (P = 0.003 and 0.008), and activated αIIbβ3 expression by 1.8 ± 1.1 and 1.6 ± 0.8, respectively (P = 0.003 and 0.001). The Omicron BA.2 variant induced an increase of platelets activation comparable to the Wuhan-Hu (2.8 ± 1.2 and 2.1 ± 1.3 fold for CD62P and activated αIIbβ3 markers, respectively). The results obtained for various COVID-19 variants are in correlation with the clinical severity and mortality reported for these variants.

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective death of motor neurons in the brainstem, motor cortex, and spinal cord, leading to muscle atrophy and eventually to death. It is currently held that various oligomerization-inducing mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), an amyloid-forming protein, may be implicated in the familial form of this fast-progressing highly lethal neurodegenerative disease. A possible therapeutic approach could therefore lie in developing inhibitors to SOD1 mutants. By screening a focused mutagenesis library, mutated randomly in specific "stability patch" positions of the B1 domain of protein G (HTB1), we previously identified low affinity inhibitors of aggregation of SOD1
