Immunopharmacology Comments |
PIKfyve is a class III PI kinase. Evidence is revealing a crucial role for PIKfyve in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling via production of the cytokines IL-12 and IL-23 [3]. Pharmacological (using apilimod) or genetic inactivation of PIKfyve suppresses expression of the p40 (IL-12B) subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23, and this has a regulatory role on TLR signaling. PIKfyve has also been implicated as a key component of antigen presentation by dendritic cells [1]. With regards to the investigation of apilimod in SARS-CoV-2 infection, inhibition of antigen presentation, the immune response to new antigens, and T-cell activation, may not be ideal in this setting. Would this leave patients susceptible to other infections during apilimod treatment? Results from the apilomod clinical trials will be interesting. |

General Comments |
Pharmacological inhibition of PIKfyve by apilimod (STA-5326) has potent cytotoxic activity against B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells [5]. This effect is selective for the lymphoma cells compared to normal cells. SARS-CoV-2: PIKfyve has been reported as being required for Ebola virus (EBOV) infection of host cells [12], and indeed apilimod has anti-EBOV activity in vitro. More broad-spectrum antiviral activity against Lassa virus (LASV), Marburg virus (MARV) [10] and SARS-CoV-2 [6-7,13] is supported in the literature. Activity of PIKfyve is markedly modulated by SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro, and indicates potential hijacking of phosphatidylinositol enzyme activities by the coronavirus [2]. Pharmacological inhibition of this kinase with apilimod has anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in two model cells lines, A549-ACE2 cells (IC50 7 nM) and Vero E6 cells (IC50 80 nM), and human iPSC-derived pneumocyte-like cells [13]. |
