Coronaviral Main Protease Induces LPCAT3 Cleavage and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress.
Viruses 2023 August 6
Zoonotic coronaviruses infect mammals and birds, causing pulmonary and gastrointestinal infections. Some animal coronaviruses, such as the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), lead to severe diarrhea and animal deaths. Gastrointestinal symptoms were also found in COVID-19 and SARS patients. However, the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal symptoms in coronavirus diseases remains elusive. In this study, the main protease-induced LPCAT3 cleavage was monitored by exogenous gene expression and protease inhibitors, and the related regulation of gene expression was confirmed by qRT-PCR and gene knockdown. Interestingly, LPCAT3 plays an important role in lipid absorption in the intestines. The Mpro of coronaviruses causing diarrhea, such as PEDV and MERS-CoV, but not the Mpro of HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1, which could induce LPCAT3 cleavage. Mutagenesis analysis and inhibitor experiments indicated that LPCAT3 cleavage was independent of the catalytic activity of Mpro. Moreover, LPCAT3 cleavage in cells boosted CHOP and GRP78 expression, which were biomarkers of ER stress. Since LPCAT3 is critical for lipid absorption in the intestines and malabsorption may lead to diarrhea in coronavirus diseases, Mpro-induced LPCAT3 cleavage might trigger gastrointestinal symptoms during coronavirus infection.
