The mTOR/PGC-1α/SIRT3 Pathway Drives Reductive Glutamine Metabolism to Reduce Oxidative Stress Caused by ISKNV in CPB Cells

ABSTRACT Under oxidative stress, viruses prefer glycolysis as an ATP source, and glutamine is required as an anaplerotic substrate to replenish the TCA cycle. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) induces reductive glutamine metabolism in the host cells. Here we report that ISKNV infec...

description ABSTRACT Under oxidative stress, viruses prefer glycolysis as an ATP source, and glutamine is required as an anaplerotic substrate to replenish the TCA cycle. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) induces reductive glutamine metabolism in the host cells. Here we report that ISKNV infection the increased NAD+/NADH ratio and the gene expression of glutaminase 1 (GLS1), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) resulted in the phosphorylation and activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in CPB cells. Inhibition of mTOR signaling attenuates ISKNV-induced the upregulation of GLS1, GDH, and IDH2 genes expression, and exhibits significant antiviral activity. Moreover, the expression of silent information regulation 2 homolog 3 (SIRT3) in mRNA level is increased to enhance the reductive glutamine metabolism in ISKNV-infected cells. And those were verified by the expression levels of metabolic genes and the activities of metabolic enzymes in SIRT3-overexpressed or SIRT3-knocked down cells. Remarkably, activation of mTOR signaling upregulates the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) gene, leading to increased expression of SIRT3 and metabolic genes. These results indicate that mTOR signaling manipulates reductive glutamine metabolism in ISKNV-infected cells through PGC-1α-dependent regulation of SIRT3. Our findings reveal new insights on ISKNV–host interactions and will contribute new cellular targets to antiviral therapy. IMPORTANCE Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is the causative agent of farmed fish disease that has caused huge economic losses in fresh and marine fish aquaculture. The redox state of cells is shaped by virus into a favorable microenvironment for virus replication and proliferation. Our previous study demonstrated that ISKNV replication induced glutamine metabolism reprogramming, and it is necessary for the ISKNV multiplication. In this study, the mechanistic link between the mTOR/PGC-1α/SIRT3 pathway and reductive glutamine metabolism in the ISKNV-infected cells was provided, which will contribute new insights into the pathogenesis of ISKNV and antiviral treatment strategies.
