Blocking human enterovirus 71 replication by targeting viral 2A protease.
OBJECTIVES Human enterovirus 71 (EV-71), a member of the Enterovirus genus, constitutes a major public health issue in the Asia-Pacific region, where it is associated with several severe neurological complications. There is currently no effective vaccine or antiviral against EV-71. The aim of this study was to determine whether the six amino acid peptide LVLQTM, which was previously shown to in...
متن کاملAmphotericin B Inhibits Enterovirus 71 Replication by Impeding Viral Entry
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection causes hand-foot-and-mouth disease that leads to cardiopulmonary complications and death in young children. There is thus an urgent need to find new treatments to control EV71 infection. In this study, we report potent inhibition of EV71 by a polyene antibiotic Amphotericin B. Amphotericin B profoundly diminished the expression of EV71 RNA and viral proteins in t...
متن کاملUGGT1 enhances enterovirus 71 pathogenicity by promoting viral RNA synthesis and viral replication
Positive-strand RNA virus infections can induce the stress-related unfolded protein response (UPR) in host cells. This study found that enterovirus A71 (EVA71) utilizes host UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGGT1), a key endoplasmic reticulum protein (ER) involved in UPR, to enhance viral replication and virulence. EVA71 forms replication complexes (RCs) on cellular membranes tha...
متن کاملInhibition of enterovirus 71 replication and the viral 3D polymerase by aurintricarboxylic acid.
OBJECTIVES Enterovirus 71 (EV71) causes serious diseases in humans. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) on EV71 replication and to explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS To measure the activity of ATA in inhibiting the cytopathic effect (CPE) of EV71, a cell-based neutralization (inhibition of virus-induced CPE) assay was performed. The effect ...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Enterovirus 71
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common illness of infants and young children <10 years of age. It is characterized by fever, ulcers in the oral cavity, and rashes with blisters that appear on the palm and sole. The most common causal agents of HFMD are coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and human enterovirus 71 (HEV71), but other enteroviruses, including CV-A5 and CV-A10, can also cause it. W...
