GSE140589 Cd302 and Cr1l restrict human hepatotropic virus cross-species transmission to mice  6PMH siRNA
Contributors : Richard Brown ; Birthe Tegtmeyer ; Thomas PietschmannSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusVirus species- and tissue-tropism is governed by host dependency and restriction factors. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits a narrow species-tropism and murine hepatocytes are refractory to infection. Using murine liver cDNA library screening we identified Cd302, a lectin, and Cr1l, a complement receptor, as pan-genotypic restrictors of HCV infection. Cd302/Cr1l interact to impede virion uptake and co-operatively induce a non-canonical transcriptional program, inhibiting ...

Silencing of the foot-and-mouth disease virus internal ribosomal entry site by targeting relatively conserved region among serotypes
AbstractFoot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a host-restricted disease of cloven-hoofed animals, such as cattle and pigs. There are seven major serotypes of FMD virus that exhibit high antigenic variation, making vaccine strain selection difficult. However, there is an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) element within the 5 ′ untranslated region of the FMD virus (FMDV) RNA genome that is relatively conserved among FMDV serotypes and could be used as a pan-serotype target for disease interventions. To determine the potential for targeting the IRES as promising drug target, we designed a short interfering RNA (siRNA) t argeti...
