Article Title: A Dengue Virus Type 2 (DENV-2) NS4B-Interacting Host Factor, SERP1, Reduces DENV-2 Production by Suppressing Viral RNA Replication

doi: 10.3390/v11090787

Figure Lengend Snippet: Protein–protein interactions between stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1 (SERP1) and nonstructural protein (NS)4B. ( A ) NS4B interacts with SERP1, as shown in a membrane-base split ubiquitin yeast-two-hybrid assay. Yeast was co-transformed with the baits p-BT3 NS2B, p-BT3 NS4A, p-BT3 NS4B, and p-BT3 (vector only), and the prey pPR3-SERP1. Ten-fold serial yeast dilutions were spotted onto nonselective plates (-Trp–Leu; lacking tryptophan and leucine) and selective plates (-Trp–Leu–His–Ade; lacking tryptophan, leucine, histidine, and adenine) for the detection of protein–protein interactions. ( B ) Dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) NS4B colocalized with SERP1 and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) marker calnexin. The Flag-SERP1-overexpressing Huh7.5 cells were infected with DENV-2 (multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 5) and subjected to co-stain with antibodies raised against Flag, NS4B, or ER-located calnexin. At 72 h post-infection, the subcellular distributions of SERP1, NS4B, or calnexin were examined by indirect immunofluorescence assay using the corresponding antibodies. NS4B and SERP1 showed a strong colocalization (upper panel). ER-located calnexin and SERP1 (middle panel) and NS4B (lower panel) also showed colocalization. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 25 μm. ( C ) The colocalization analysis between SERP1, NS4B, and calnexin was quantified using Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Each counterstain was determined for 10 Huh7.5 cells in three independent experiments using the colocalization tool provided, with Leica-SP5 software. The values are shown as the average of the Pearson’s correlation coefficients in 10 cells. Error bars indicate the means ± standard errors of the mean (SEMs). ( D ) The topological scheme of the SERP1, NS4B, and NS2B complexes with selected interaction pairs in a Nano-Luc Binary Technology (NanoBiT) protein–protein interactions (PPIs) assay. ( E ) The interactions of SEPR1-NS4B and SEPR1-NS2B were determined in the HEK-293 cells using a NanoBiT complementation assay. Luminescence is expressed as the means ± SEMs from three independent experiments ( n = 3). ***, p < 0.001 (Student’s t -test). ( F ) Schematic diagram of the NS2B-HA (pLKO-AS2-NS2B-HA), NS4B-HA (pLKO-AS2-NS4B-HA), and Flag-SERP1 (pLKO-AS2-Flag-SERP1) fusion constructs. ( G ) The interaction of SEPR1-NS4B was determined in the Huh7.5 cells by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). The Huh7.5 cells were transfected or co-transfected with pLKO-AS2-Flag-SERP1, pLKO-AS2-NS2B-HA, and pLKO-AS2-NS4B-HA. Equal amounts of protein complexes were analyzed by immunoprecipitation using anti-Flag M2 affinity gel or anti-HA magnetic beads. The co-IP was performed with the anti-Flag antibody and anti-HA antibody.

Article Snippet: To further measure the protein level of SERP1 in the DENV-2 infected cells, we failed to detect the SERP1 protein expression in virus infected cells by either in-house mouse, rabbit, or commercial anti-SERP1 antibodies (Genetex, Abcam, Proteintech Group, Atlas antibodies), possibly because of the poor antigenicity of SERP1 (data not shown).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between expression level of the stress associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1 (SERP1) and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. (A and B) The expression level of SERP1 in T3/4 stage PDAC specimen was significantly higher than in T1/2 stage, while there was no significant difference between SERP1 and N stage. (C) Correlation analysis was performed between expression level of SERP1 and clinical stages. SERP1 was correspondingly increased with the increase of clinical AJCC stage of PDAC. (D) Constituent ratio with high level of SERP1 was drastically different between normal samples and I/II or III/IV stage of PDAC patients.

(A) K-M curve for OS of patients with high (n=89) and low (n=87) SERP1 expression level. Results revealed that high SERP1 expression level was correlated with shorter OS for PDAC patients. (B) SERP1 high expression group (n=61) had shorter DFS than SERP1 low expression group (n=76). (C) The expression of SERP1 in OS-good and poor patients. (D) The expression of SERP1 in DFS-good and poor patients. (E and F) Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed SERP1 expression was an independent factor of patients' overall survival and disease-free survival.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Stress associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1 (SERP1) is mainly involved in regulating cell apoptosis. (A) Apoptosis gene sets were enriched in tumor group. The curve is the enrichment score of these genes by GSEA. (B) PANC-1 cells were transfected with three SERP1 siRNA. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the expression level of SERP1 was detected by western blotting, and results revealed that the expression level of SERP1 was obviously downregulated in PANC-1 cells transfected with SERP1-siRNA compared to negative control cells. (C and D) Compared to control group, PANC-1 cells transfected with SERP1-siRNA had a higher rate of apoptosis.
