Article Abstract
Virus reprogramming of host cellular function is a critical strategy for viral survival and replication. A better understanding of virus-host interaction may provide new potential avenues for the treatment of viral diseases. It has been reported that hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway is activated by a range of pathogens via different mechanisms, but the impact of Influenza A virus on HIF-1 signaling is still unclear. In this study, we observed H1N1 infection stabilized HIF-1α under normoxic conditions. In detail, H1N1 did not increase HIF-1α mRNA transcription, nor impaired posttranslational prolyl hydroxylation or ubiquitination of HIF-1α, but inhibited the function of proteasome, resulting in HIF-1α accumulation. Furthermore, a decreased expression of factor inhibiting HIF-1 (FIH-1), which hydroxylates asparagine 803 within HIF-1α to repress HIF-1α activity, was seen after H1N1 infection. Taken together, these findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism of viral activation of the HIF-1 pathway, resembling a hypoxic response in normoxia.

Severe pneumonia, as a critical and prevalent condition of the respiratory system, poses a significant threat to patient survival and health outcomes. This article focuses on the similarities and differences between community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)/ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). There is significant divergence in the predominant pathogens between severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) and HAP/VAP.

Background: The H5N1 avian influenza A virus represents a serious threat to both animal and human health, with the potential to escalate into a global pandemic. Effective monitoring of social media during H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks could potentially offer critical insights to guide public health strategies. Social media platforms like Reddit, with their diverse and region-specific communities, provide a rich source of data that can reveal collective attitudes, concerns, and behavioral trends in real time.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The high mortality rate associated with severe influenza partly results from delayed initiation of antiviral therapy and subsequent cytokine storms. Jiuwei Qianghuo Decoction combined with Zhuye Shigao Decoction (JZF) has been clinically prescribed to prevent the progression to a more severe illness in influenza treatment. However, the precise mode of action and active components have not yet been elucidated.

Enveloped viruses rely on matrix proteins for structural integrity and lifecycle progression. Matrix protein 1 (M1) is the most abundant structural protein of influenza A virus (IAV), playing a multifaceted role in viral uncoating, polymerase activity, vRNA transcription and replication, and assembly and budding. The M1 protein not only interacts with host cells but also regulates viral morphogenesis, thereby influencing viral transmissibility and pathogenicity.

Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) is a crucial target for protective antibodies, yet the development of recombinant NA protein as a vaccine has been held back by instability and variable expression. We have taken a pragmatic approach to improving expression and stability of NA by grafting antigenic surface loops from low-expressing NA proteins onto the scaffold of high-expressing counterparts. The resulting hybrid proteins retained the antigenic properties of the loop donor while benefiting from the high-yield expression, stability, and tetrameric structure of the loop recipient.
