AbstractItaconate has recently emerged as a metabolite with immunomodulatory properties. We evaluated effects of endogenous itaconate and exogenous itaconate, dimethyl-, and 4-octyl-itaconate on host responses to influenza A virus infection. Infection induced ACOD1 (the enzyme catalyzing itaconate synthesis) mRNA in monocytes and macrophages, which correlated with viral replication and was abrogated by itaconate treatment. Pulmonary inflammation and weight loss were greater in Acod1-/- than wild-type mice, and ectopic synthesis of itaconate in human epithelial cells reduced infection-induced inflammation. The compounds induced different recruitment programs in infected human macrophages, and transcriptome profiling revealed that they reversed infection-triggered interferon responses and modulated inflammation in cell lines, PBMC, and lung tissue. Single-cell RNA sequencing of PBMC revealed that infection induced ACOD1 exclusively in monocytes, whereas treatment silenced IFN-responses in monocytes, lymphocytes, and NK cells. Viral replication did not increase under treatment despite the dramatically repressed IFN responses, but 4-octyl itaconate inhibited viral transcription in PBMC. The results reveal dramatic reprogramming of host responses by itaconate and derivatives and their potential as adjunct treatments for hyperinflammation in viral infection.

Influenza A Virus Infection

The complement system is designed to recognise and eliminate invading pathogens via activation of classical, alternative and lectin pathways. Human properdin stabilises the alternative pathway C3 convertase, resulting in an amplification loop that leads to the formation of C5 convertase, thereby acting as a positive regulator of the alternative pathway. It has been noted that human properdin on its own can operate as a pattern recognition receptor and exert immune functions outside its involvement in complement activation. Properdin can bind directly to microbial targets via DNA, sulfatides and glycosaminoglycans, apoptotic cells, nanoparticles, and well-known viral virulence factors. This study was aimed at investigating the complement-independent role of properdin against Influenza A virus infection. As one of the first immune cells to arrive at the site of IAV infection, we show here that IAV challenged neutrophils released properdin in a time-dependent manner. Properdin was found to directly interact with haemagglutinin, neuraminidase and matrix 1 protein Influenza A virus proteins in ELISA and western blot. Furthermore, modelling studies revealed that properdin could bind HA and NA of the H1N1 subtype with higher affinity compared to that of H3N2 due to the presence of an HA cleavage site in H1N1. In an infection assay using A549 cells, properdin suppressed viral replication in pH1N1 subtype while promoting replication of H3N2 subtype, as revealed by qPCR analysis of M1 transcripts. Properdin treatment triggered an anti-inflammatory response in H1N1-challenged A549 cells and a pro-inflammatory response in H3N2-infected cells, as evident from differential mRNA expression of TNF-α, NF-κB, IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, IL-12 and RANTES. Properdin treatment also reduced luciferase reporter activity in MDCK cells transduced with H1N1 pseudotyped lentiviral particles; however, it was increased in the case of pseudotyped H3N2 particles. Collectively, we conclude that infiltrating neutrophils at the site of IAV infection can release properdin, which then acts as an entry inhibitor for pandemic H1N1 subtype while suppressing viral replication and inducing an anti-inflammatory response. H3N2 subtype can escape this immune restriction due to altered haemagglutinin and neuraminindase, leading to enhanced viral entry, replication and pro-inflammatory response. Thus, depending on the subtype, properdin can either limit or aggravate IAV infection in the host.
