Article Abstract

Objective: To generate rescued viruses with deletion mutation of capsid protein from dengue virus type 2 isolated in China (DEN2-43).

Methods: On the basis of infectious full-length cDNA clone pD212 of DEN2-43 strain virus, the deletion mutants were constructed by fusion PCR, from which the rescued viruses with deletion mutation of capsid protein were generated by transcription in vitro and electroporation.

Result And Conclusion: Sequence analysis demonstrated that the deletion mutations had been successfully inserted into the rescued viruses obtained. These mutant viruses may hold the key for elucidating the effects of deletion mutation of capsid protein on the biological characteristics of dengue virus.

EZH2 variants derived from cryptic splice sites govern distinct epigenetic patterns during embryonic development.

Nucleic Acids Res

September 2025

Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, Fuwai Shenzhen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Shenzhen 518057, China.

EZH2 catalyzes H3K27me3 and is essential for embryonic development. Although multiple EZH2 variants have been identified, the functional implications and physiological significance of its heterogeneity remain unclear. Here, we revealed that conserved cryptic splice sites generated two EZH2 variants with (EZH2A) or without (EZH2B) a 27-nt region, coding for a 9-aa segment.

Identification and antiviral mechanism of a novel chicken-derived interferon-related antiviral protein targeting PRDX1.

PLoS Pathog

September 2025

In this study, we identified a new chicken-specific protein, named chicken interferon-related antiviral protein (chIRAP) after sequence analysis and comparison, which inhibited the proliferation of various viruses including influenza A virus (IAV) and Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) in vitro, and chicken embryos with high expression of chIRAP reduced IAV infection. Mass spectrometry analysis of chIRAP interacting proteins and screening of interacting proteins affecting the function of chIRAP revealed that the deletion of endogenous chicken peroxiredoxin 1 (chPRDX1) significantly reduced the antiviral effect of chIRAP. In order to clarify the functional site of chPRDX1 affecting the antiviral effect of chIRAP, we constructed the point mutants of chPRDX1 based on the results of molecular docking (D79A, T90A, K93A, Q94A, R110A, R123A), and screened the sites affecting the antiviral effects of chIRAP by knockdown of endogenous chPRDX1 combined with the overexpression mutant strategy, the results showed that the mutations in the sites affected the antiviral effects of chIRAP to different degrees, with D79A being the most significant, and the D79A mutation of chPRDX1 reduces the ability of chPRDX1 to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants, elicits a remarkably weak innate immune response. This is partly due to type I interferon (IFN) antagonism by the non-structural RSV NS1 protein. It was recently suggested that NS1 could modulate host transcription via an interaction with the MED25 subunit of the Mediator complex.

Background: The use of third-generation different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is considered the most effective option for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, there is limited information on the efficacy and safety of aumolertinib in patients remains these cases.

Methods: The clinical records of patients receiving aumolertinib as first-line therapy across four hospitals in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from April 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, using progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint and overall survival (OS) representing the secondary endpoint.
