Article Abstract

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was one of the most common pathogens to cause viral myocarditis. Circular RNAs as novel non-coding RNAs with a closed loop molecular structure have been confirmed to be involved in virus infectious diseases, but the function in CVB3 infection was not systematically studied. In this study, we identified that hsa_circ_0063331 (circDDX17) was drastically decreased after CVB3 infection by circRNA microarray. and , when cells or mice were infected with CVB3, the expression of circDDX17 was significantly reduced, as demonstrated by quantitative real-time PCR assays. Additionally, circDDX17 enhanced CVB3 replication by downregulating the expression of miR-1248 in HeLa and HL-1 cells, and miR-1248 regulated CVB3 replication through interacting with the gene coding for NOTCH Receptor 2 (NOTCH2), and NOTCH2 could upregulate methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3). Taken together, this study suggested that circDDX17 promoted CVB3 replication and regulated NOTCH2 by targeting miR-1248 as a miRNAs sponge.

The multifaceted role of the viral 2A protease in enterovirus replication and antagonism of host antiviral responses.

Enteroviruses dramatically remodel the cellular infrastructure for efficient replication and curtailing host antiviral responses. The roles of viral proteins in these processes have been studied mostly in vitro, by ectopic overexpression, or by surrogate infection systems, all of which have shortcomings. Here, we replace the essential 2A cleavage site at the P1-P2 junction with an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), 3CD cleavage site, or T2A sequence, allowing us to catalytically inactivate 2Apro in the virus context.

The nonstructural 2B protein of coxsackievirus B (CVB) is a transmembrane protein that forms a hydrophilic tetramer viroporin on the cellular membrane structures. 2B plays a key role in the replication of CVB. We hypothesized that blocking the polymerization of 2B may interfere with CVB replication.

Coxsackievirus B3 (CV-B3) infection causes inflammatory conditions such as viral myocarditis and meningitis, and incidence rates are rising annually. While children are more likely to be affected by severe manifestations, the molecular basis of this age-dependent susceptibility is poorly understood. In this study, we used young Balb/c mice at three developmental stages (7-, 14-, and 30-day-old mice) to investigate CV-B3 pathogenesis.

Background: Coxsackievirus infections cause a range of diseases, from hand-foot-and-mouth disease to severe conditions such as myocarditis and meningoencephalitis. High mutation rates and serotype diversity complicate clinical management, as no approved vaccines or therapies exist. Triterpenoids, natural compounds with antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, offer potential as novel treatments.

Acute myocarditis (AM) is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium primarily induced by pathogen infection. The exacerbated inflammatory response, which is one of the main drivers of rapid deterioration and mortality in AM, has become a focal point of research. Numerous studies have demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency serves as a significant risk factor for disease progression in various conditions, including infections and cardiovascular disorders, which has garnered substantial attention in recent years.
