Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1629: Multiple Porcine Innate Immune Signaling Pathways Are Involved in the Anti-PEDV Response
In this study, we observed that various porcine innate immune signaling adaptors are involved in anti-PEDV (AJ1102-like strain) activity in transfected Vero cells. Among these, TRIF and MAVS showed the strongest anti-PEDV activity. The endogenous TRIF, MAVS, and STING were selected for further examination of anti-PEDV activity. Agonist stimulation experiments showed that TRIF, MAVS, and STING signaling all have obvious anti-PEDV activity. The siRNA knockdown assay showed that TRIF, MAVS, and STING are also all involved in anti-PEDV response, and their remarkable effects on PEDV replication were confirmed in TRIF&mi...

The novel Nsp9-interacting host factor H2BE promotes PEDV replication by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis
In conclusion, these studies revealed the mechanism by which H2BE is associated with ER stress-mediated apoptosis to regulate PEDV replication. Nsp9 upregulates H2BE. H2BE plays a role in inhibiting apoptosis and thus facilitating viral replication, whic h depends on the N-terminal region of H2BE (amino acids 1–28). These findings provide a reference for host–PEDV interactions and offer the possibility for developing strategies for PEDV decontamination and prevention.

N protein of PEDV plays chess game with host proteins by selective autophagy
In this study, we have found a novel host restriction factor, HNRNPA1, that could inhibit PEDV replication by degrading viral nucleocapsid (N) protein. The restriction factor activates the HNRNPA1-MARCHF8/MARCH8-CALCOCO2/NDP52-autophagosome pathway with the help of transcription factor EGR1 targeting the HNRNPA1 promoter. HNRNPA1 could also promote the expression of IFN to facilitate the host antiviral defense response for antagonizing PEDV infection through RIGI protein interaction. During viral replication, we found that PEDV can, in contrast, degrade the host antiviral proteins HNRNPA1 and others (FUBP3, HNRNPK, PTBP1, ...

Long non-coding RNA SNHG9 regulates viral replication in rhabdomyosarcoma cells infected with enterovirus D68 via miR-150-5p/c-Fos axis
ConclusionOur findings indicate that the SNHG9/miR-150-5p/c-Fos axis influences EV-D68 replication in host cells and that SNHG9 may be a possible target for anti-EV-D68 infection therapies.

Dengue virus is involved in insulin resistance via the downregulation of IRS-1 by inducing TNF- α secretion
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2022 Jun 22:166472. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2022.166472. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring the epidemic, the individuals with underlying diseases usually have a higher rate of mortality. Diabetes is highly prevalent worldwide, making it a frequent comorbidity in dengue fever patients. Therefore, understanding the relationship between dengue virus (DENV) infection and diabetes is important. We first demonstrated that DENV-3 infection down-regulated the expression of IRS-1. In vitro, treatment of HepG2 cells with TNF-α inhibitors and siRNA proved that after DENV-3 infection in HepG2 cell...

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 1196: Poly(A)-Binding Protein Cytoplasmic 1 Inhibits Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Replication by Interacting with Nucleocapsid Protein
ao Chunyi Xue Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the etiological agent of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) characterized by vomit, watery diarrhea, dehydration and high mortality. Outbreaks of highly pathogenic variant strains of PEDV have resulted in extreme economic losses to the swine industry all over the world. The study of host–virus interaction can help to better understand the viral pathogenicity. Many studies have shown that poly(A)-binding proteins are involved in the replication process of various viruses. Here, we found that the infection of PEDV downregulated the expression of poly(A)...

Drug repurposing of dextromethorphan as a cellular target for the management of influenza
ConclusionInfluenza viruses continue to emerge and cause infection (including pandemics) in humans, so there remains a critical need to advance the understanding of influenza treatment. Our results demonstrated reduced hospitalization rates for influenza patients treated with DM. Further research on cellular targets and / or DM are warranted for the treatment of influenza.

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 4919: The Inhibitory Effect of Sulforaphane on Bladder Cancer Cell Depends on GSH Depletion-Induced by Nrf2 Translocation
In this study, human bladder cancer T24 cells were used as in vitro model for revealing the inhibitory effect and its potential mechanism of SFN on cell growth. Here, a low dose of SFN (2.5 µM) was shown to promote cell proliferation (5.18–11.84%) and migration in T24 cells, whilst high doses of SFN (>10 µM) inhibited cell growth significantly. The induction effect of SFN on nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) expression at both low (2.5 µM) and high dose (10 µM) was characterized by a bell-shaped curve. Nrf2 and glutathione (GSH) might be the underlying mechanism in the effect of SFN on T24...
