Background: Non-structural protein 1 (NS1) is a multifunctional protein and a crucial regulatory factor in the replication and pathogenesis of avian influenza virus (AIV). Studies have shown that NS1 can interact with a variety of host proteins to modulate the viral life cycle. We previously generated a monoclonal antibody against NS1 protein; In the current research study, using this antibody, we immunoprecipitated host proteins that interact with NS1 to better understand the roles played by NS1 in communications between virus and host.
Results: Co-immunoprecipitation experiments identified annexin A2 (ANXA2) as a target molecule interacting with NS1. Results from confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated that NS1 co-localized with ANXA2 in the cell cytoplasm. Overexpression of ANXA2 significantly increased the titer of H5N1 subtype HPAIV, whereas siRNA-mediated knockdown of ANXA2 markedly inhibited the expression of viral proteins and reduced the progeny virus titer.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that ANXA2 interacts with NS1 and ANXA2 expression increases HPAIV replication.

The etiology of alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) is complex, representing the early reversible stage of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Alleviating oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and preventing the development of liver fibrosis are considered the most effective strategies for treating AFL. Consequently, we selected isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid compound recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer pharmacological properties.

Annexins (ANXAs) are a calcium-dependent, membrane-bound protein superfamily involved in the transport of matrix vesicle ion channels and Ca ions, which are essential for early hard tissue calcification. However, the localization of ANXAs in dentin calcification is unknown. To analyze the localization and function of ANXA1, 2, 5, and 6 in odontoblast differentiation and dentin calcification, we examined the immunohistochemical localization of ANXAs in developing rat molars.

Melanoma remains a highly aggressive malignancy with limited effective therapies and frequent resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a promising platform for RNA-based therapeutics, but their clinical translation is impeded by inefficient cargo loading and insufficient tumor-specific targeting. To address these limitations, we developed an engineered EV strategy integrating efficient miRNA packaging with tumor-targeting surface modifications to enhance therapeutic outcomes in melanoma.

Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a Annexin family proteins member that plays a role in regulating cell growth and signal transduction pathways. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains incompletely elucidated. We used bioinformatics methods to analyze the expression, diagnosis and prognostic value of ANXA2 in HCC using data from the TCGA, GTEx, GEO, HCCDB, HPA databases.

Dysfunction of Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs) induced by glucocorticoids has been identified as a key pathological mechanism of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). Consequently, restoring the function of BMSCs is a vital strategy for treating SONFH. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-576-5p (miR-576-5p) and Annexin A2 (ANXA2) in SONFH and dexamethasone (DEX) cultured BMSCs, expecting to seek new therapeutic strategies for SONFH.
