Article Abstract
West Nile virus (WNV) causes encephalitis in human and animals. WNV is phylogenetically classified into at least five distinct genetic lineages with different pathogenicity. The pathogenesis of West Nile encephalitis is affected by ubiquitin accumulation in infected cells, but the mechanism is unknown. In this study, the association between ubiquitin accumulation and WNV pathogenicity was investigated. Ubiquitin accumulation was detected in cells infected with NY99 strain belonging to lineage-1, but not FCG and Zmq16 strains belonging to lineage-2. Substitution of the Finger and Palm sub-domains of NS5 from lineage-1 to -2 decreased ubiquitin accumulation and viral replication. Furthermore, the survival rate was increased, and viral replication and ubiquitin accumulation in the brain were attenuated, in mice inoculated with the substituted WNV compared with lineage-1 WNV. Therefore, the intracellular ubiquitin accumulation induced by the Finger and Palm sub-domains of NS5 is linked to the differences in pathogenicity among WNV lineages.

Background: As a highly invasive gastrointestinal malignancy, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) carries with its high morbidity and mortality. Accumulating evidence indicates that abnormal activation of ubiquitination and deubiquitylation has been implicated in pathophysiology of ESCC. However, rare prognostic models for ubiquitination-related genes (URGs) and deubiquitylation-related genes (DRGs) have been built up in ESCC.

Background: After spinal cord injury (SCI), pro-inflammatory microglia accumulate and impede axonal regeneration. We explored whether secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (Sparc) restrains microglial inflammation and fosters neurite outgrowth.
Methods: Mouse microglial BV2 cells were polarized to a pro-inflammatory phenotype with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs).

Background/aims: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in hepatocytes plays a causative role in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The incomplete inhibition of ER stress by targeting canonical ER stress sensor proteins suggests the existence of noncanonical ER stress pathways in ALD pathology. This study aimed to delineate the role of RAB25 in ALD and its regulatory mechanism in noncanonical ER stress pathways.

Background: Impaired autophagic flux is an essential contributor to doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). TFEB is recognized as a key regulator of DOX-induced autolysosome accumulation; however, the mechanisms by which DOX suppresses TFEB expression remain unclear. 20-Deoxyingenol (20-DOI) is a small-molecule compound whose potential protective effects against DIC has not yet been elucidated.

The co-infection of maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) causes maize lethal necrosis (MLN), which seriously affects the yield and quality of maize. Ubiquitination is one of the most important protein post-translational modifications. However, the role of ubiquitination modification in regulating maize resistance to viral infection remains largely unknown.
