Interactions of HIV-1 Capsid with Host Factors and Their Implications for Developing Novel Therapeutics

Shentian Zhuang, Bruce E. Torbett

Summary: This paper reviews the interplay between the HIV-1 capsid and host factors during early stages of viral replication, highlighting the structure of the capsid, host factor interactions, and screening techniques. Understanding these interactions can inform HIV-1 pathogenesis and the development of capsid-centric antiretroviral therapeutics. The discovery of the capsid-targeting inhibitor GS-6207 represents a significant advancement in this field.

Reducing FASN expression sensitizes acute myeloid leukemia cells to differentiation therapy

Magali Humbert, Kristina Seiler, Severin Mosimann, Vreni Rentsch, Katyayani Sharma, Amit Pandey, Sharon L. McKenna, Mario P. Tschan

Summary: The study found that FASN mRNA levels were significantly higher in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients compared to healthy granulocytes or hematopoietic progenitors. Inhibition of FASN expression levels accelerated differentiation of APL cell lines and re-sensitized ATRA refractory non-APL AML cells. FASN reduction promoted translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB) to the nucleus, leading to activation of CLEAR network genes and lysosomal biogenesis.

Discrimination between Functional and Non-functional Cellular Gag Complexes involved in HIV-1 Assembly

Yisong Deng, John A. Hammond, Raymond Pauszek, Stosh Ozog, Ilean Chai, Jessica Rabuck-Gibbons, Rajan Lamichhane, Scott C. Henderson, David P. Millar, Bruce E. Torbett, James R. Williamson

Summary: Most GCC species are mainly composed of monomeric or dimeric Gag molecules bound to ribosomal complexes, representing a population of Gag not yet functionally committed for incorporation into viable virion precursors. A subset of large GCC complexes, with more than 20 Gag molecules, may be equivalent to membrane-associated puncta as genuine assembling-virus intermediates. These findings provide a rationale for the existence of diverse GCCs and lay the foundation for characterizing on-pathway intermediates in early virus assembly.

MrHAMER yields highly accurate single molecule viral sequences enabling analysis of intra-host evolution

Christian M. Gallardo, Shiyi Wang, Daniel J. Montiel-Garcia, Susan J. Little, Davey M. Smith, Andrew L. Routh, Bruce E. Torbett

Summary: This study overcomes technical challenges in RNA virus sequencing by developing a nanopore-based method to accurately sequence viral genomes from clinical samples. The method can detect rare viral genomes at <1% frequency, facilitating the study of genetic resistance to antiviral therapy and immune pressure.

Increased LAMP2A levels correlate with a shorter disease-free survival of HER2 negative breast cancer patients and increased breast cancer cell viability

Igor Tokarchuk, Felice A. Janser, Anna M. Schlafli, Marta Teixeira Pinto, Magali Humbert, Nicolas J. Niklaus, Sabina Berezowska, Rupert Langer, Mario P. Tschan

Summary: High expression of LAMP2A is associated with worse disease-free survival in breast cancer patients with HER2 negative tumors and serves as an independent prognostic parameter. Low levels of LAMP2A can reduce proliferation of breast cancer cell lines.

Synergistic effects of FGFR1 and PLK1 inhibitors target a metabolic liability in KRAS-mutant cancer

Zhang Yang, Shun-Qing Liang, Maria Saliakoura, Haitang Yang, Eric Vassella, Georgia Konstantinidou, Mario Tschan, Balazs Hegedus, Liang Zhao, Yanyun Gao, Duo Xu, Haibin Deng, Thomas M. Marti, Gregor J. Kocher, Wenxiang Wang, Ralph A. Schmid, Ren-Wang Peng

Summary: By combining FGFR1 and PLK1 inhibitors, synergistic cytotoxicity can be achieved in KRAS-mutant tumors, inducing cell death. This treatment induces apoptosis by upregulating ROS and activating the JNK/p38 pathway, while enhancing sensitivity of tumor cells to inhibitors by inhibiting autophagy.

Lysosomes in acute myeloid leukemia: potential therapeutic targets?

Sreoshee Rafiq, Sharon L. McKenna, Sylviane Muller, Mario P. Tschan, Magali Humbert

Summary: Lysosomes, traditionally known for degrading cellular macromolecules, have emerged as crucial regulators of cell homeostasis. Their involvement in cellular trafficking, nutrient signaling, energy metabolism, and immune regulation has sparked interest in targeting lysosomes for novel disease treatments, particularly cancer. This review highlights the diverse functions of lysosomes and their importance in malignant disease, with a focus on potential targeting strategies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Summary: Autophagy is a complex catabolic process that plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing cancer by clearing damaged organelles and molecules. Breast cancer, with its high heterogeneity, poses challenges for long-term survival due to aggressive recurrence.

Covariation of viral recombination with single nucleotide variants during virus evolution revealed by CoVaMa

Shiyi Wang, Stephanea L. Sotcheff, Christian M. Gallardo, Elizabeth Jaworski, Bruce E. Torbett, Andrew L. Routh

Summary: Viruses adapt to their environments through acquiring new single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and recombination events. However, studying the correlation between recombination events and SNVs has been challenging due to genetic complexity and lack of tools. This study improved a pipeline to measure linkage disequilibrium between recombination events and SNVs, and revealed their role in viral evolution.

Role of cardiolipins, mitochondria, and autophagy in the differentiation process activated by all-trans retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemia

Summary: This study investigates the role of lipids in the process of granulocytic differentiation activated by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in Acute-Promyelocytic-Leukemia (APL) blasts. Using the NB4 cell-line as a model, the study found that exposure to ATRA resulted in a reduction in cardiolipin levels, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibition of granulocytic differentiation.

Summary: This study found that HK3 is dispensable for glycolytic activity in AML cells while promoting cell survival, possibly through direct interaction with the BH3-only protein BIM during ATRA-induced neutrophil differentiation.

Summary: Genetic recombination is important for viruses to adapt to new environments. However, detecting recombination events in high-throughput sequencing data is challenging due to the diverse nature of these events. In this study, the algorithm ViReMa was updated to accurately detect recombination events in longer reads and provide standardized output reports for multiple types of recombinant species.
