TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent enzyme and responsible for deacetylating the proteins. Increasing numbers of reports have shown that the molecular mechanism of SIRT1 as an effective therapeutic target for liver fibrosis but the transformation is not very clear. In the present study, liver fibrotic tissues were screened by staining with Masson, hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for histopathological observation from the liver biopsy of seventy-seven rhesus monkey, which fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) after treatment with high-fat diet for two years...

Nowadays, the population is still struggling with a post-COVID19 syndrome known as long COVID, including a broad spectrum of neurological problems. There is an urgent need for a better understanding and exploration of the mechanisms of coronavirus neurotropism. For this purpose, the neurotropic strain of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-JHM) originating from the beta-coronavirus genus, the same as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been used. The role of the cytoskeleton during virus replication in neurons in vitro was determined to understand the mechanisms of MHV-JHM neuroinfection...

RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations and a significant cause of paediatric and geriatric morbidity worldwide. Recently, we reported that insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) was a receptor for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in airway epithelial cells and that activation of IGF1R recruited the coreceptor, nucleolin (NCL), to the cell surface. Cilia and mucus that line the airways pose a significant barrier to viral and bacterial infection. The cortical actin cytoskeleton has been shown by others to mediate RSV entry, so we studied the roles of the RSV receptors and actin remodelling during virus entry...

BACKGROUND: Osteoclastic bone resorption markedly increases with aging, leading to osteoporosis characterized by weak and fragile bones. Mice exhibit greater bone resorption and poor bone mass when Sirt1 is removed from their osteoclasts. Here we investigated the ex vivo impacts of putative Sirt1 activators, Resveratrol (RSV), SRT2183, and SRT1720, on osteoclast formation and activity in primary mouse bone marrow cells (BMCs) derived from wild-type (WT) and osteoclast specific Sirt1 knockout (OC-Sirt1KO) mice and in the RAW264...

BACKGROUND: Resveratrol (RSV) exerts anti-fibrotic effects on various fibrotic diseases. Whereas the biological role of RSV on urethral fibrosis remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to determine the mechanisms by which RSV affects urethral fibrosis and autophagy. METHODS: Sprague‒Dawley rats and primary fibroblasts were treated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) to generate in vivo and in vitro fibrosis models. Then, those were treated with RSV, and autophagy and fibrosis-related indicators were tested...

The treatment and outcome of respiratory virus infections differ. SARS-CoV-2, as well as other respiratory viruses such as influenza virus (A and B) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), require simultaneous, cost-effective, and rapid differential detection. We used a gold standard five-target single-step RT-PCR to detect influenza viruses, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2, and this method can be extended to detect influenza virus subtypes. As a result, this five-target single-step RT-PCR method is ideal for differentiating respiratory viruses...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection does not cause severe disease in most of us despite suffering from multiple RSV infections during our lives. However, infants, young children, older adults, and immunocompromised patients are unfortunately vulnerable to RSV-associated severe diseases. A recent study suggested that RSV infection causes cell expansion, resulting in bronchial wall thickening in vitro . Whether the virus-induced changes in the lung airway resemble epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is still unknown...

Viral infection, particularly respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), causes inflammation in the bronchiolar airways (bronchial wall thickening, also known as bronchiolitis). This bronchial wall thickening is a common pathophysiological feature in RSV infection, but it causes more fatalities in infants than in children and adults. However, the molecular mechanism of RSV-induced bronchial wall thickening remains unknown, particularly in healthy adults. Using highly differentiated pseudostratified airway epithelium generated from primary human bronchial epithelial cells, we revealed RSV-infects primarily ciliated cells...

Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) signaling regulates many cellular processes, including cell survival, differentiation, proliferation, cytoskeleton reorganization, and apoptosis. The actin cytoskeleton regulated by PI3K signaling plays an important role in plasma membrane rearrangement. Currently, it is known that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection requires PI3K signaling. However, the regulatory pattern or corresponding molecular mechanism of PI3K signaling on cell-to-cell fusion during syncytium formation remains unclear...

Bone loss in inflammatory disorders such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and periodontitis is caused by excessive osteoclastic activity. Meanwhile, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been identified as contributors to osteoclast differentiation, and the application of ROS scavengers has emerged as a promising strategy to protect against bone loss. Recently, resveratrol (RSV), a polyphenolic phytoalexin, has been demonstrated to inhibit osteoclastogenesis by scavenging ROS; however, the application of RSV as an antioxidant is limited by its low water solubility, structural instability, and short elimination half-life...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in young children worldwide. Our group recently revealed that RSV infection disrupts the airway epithelial barrier in vitro and in vivo. However, the underlying molecular pathways were still elusive. Here, we report the critical roles of the filamentous actin (F-actin) network and actin-binding protein cortactin in RSV infection. We found that RSV infection causes F-actin depolymerization in 16HBE cells, and that stabilizing the F-actin network in infected cells reverses the epithelial barrier disruption...

INTRODUCTION: Premature placental aging is implicated in a number of complications of pregnancy including preeclampsia. A placenta knockout mouse model has shown a relationship between SIRT1, aging and placental dysfunction. The role of SIRT1 in cellular senescence has been extensively studied in various cell types, but its role in trophoblast senescence is almost unknown. METHODS: Human placental samples were obtained from preeclampsia-affected women and healthy controls...

Our previous research found that NSvc4, the movement protein of rice stripe virus (RSV), could localize to the actin filaments, endoplasmic reticulum, plasmodesmata, and chloroplast, but the roles of NSvc4 played in the chloroplast were opaque. Here, we confirm the accumulation of NSvc4 in the chloroplasts and the N-terminal 1-73 amino acids of NSvc4 are sufficient to localize to chloroplasts. We provide evidence to show that chloroplast-localized NSvc4 can impair the chloroplast-mediated immunity. Expressing NSvc4 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves results in the decreased expression of defense-related genes NbPR1 , NbPR2 , and NbWRKY12 and the inhibition of chloroplast-derived ROS production...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading viral agent causing bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children under five years old worldwide. The RSV infection cycle starts with macropinocytosis-based entry into the host airway epithelial cell membrane, followed by virus transcription, replication, assembly, budding, and spread. It is not surprising that the host actin cytoskeleton contributes to different stages of the RSV replication cycle. RSV modulates actin-related protein 2/3 (ARP2/3) complex-driven actin polymerization for a robust filopodia induction on the infected lung epithelial A549 cells, which contributes to the virus's budding, and cell-to-cell spread...

Bromodomain-containing protein 4 plays a central role in coordinating the complex epigenetic component of the innate immune response. Previous studies implicated BRD4 as a component of a chromatin-modifying complex that is dynamically recruited to a network of protective cytokines by binding activated transcription factors, polymerases, and histones to trigger their rapid expression via transcriptional elongation. Our previous study extended our understanding of the airway epithelial BRD4 interactome by identifying over 100 functionally important coactivators and transcription factors, whose association is induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection...

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether resveratrol (RSV) could activate silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) to regulate the activation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in sepsis induced intestinal injury model, and then reduce intestinal inflammation and cell apoptosis, so as to play a protective role in intestinal barrier function. METHODS: (1) In vitro experiment: human Colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2) were cultured, which were divided into normal group (normal culture on complete medium for 48 hours), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (normal culture on complete medium for 24 hours, then LPS containing 2 mg/L complete medium intervention for 6 hours), RSV low, medium and high concentration groups and SIRT1 inhibitor (EX-527) group (complete medium normal culture for 24 hours, LPS containing 2 mg/L complete medium intervention for 6 hours, followed by RSV 10, 20, 40 μmol/L or EX-527 10 μmol/L intervention for 6 hours, respectively)...

The airway epithelium's ability to repair itself after injury, known as epithelial restitution, is an essential mechanism enabling the respiratory tract's normal functions. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections worldwide. We sought to determine whether RSV delays the airway epithelium wound repair process both in vitro and in vivo. We found that RSV infection attenuated epithelial cell migration, a step in wound repair, promoted stress fiber formation, and mediated assembly of large focal adhesions (FA)...

Epigenetics plays an important role in the priming the dynamic response of airway epithelial cells to infectious and environmental stressors. Here, we examine the epigenetic role of the SWI/SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator of Chromatin A4 (SMARCA4) in the epithelial response to RSV infection. Depletion of SMARCA4 destabilized the abundance of the SMARCE1/ARID1A SWI/SNF subunits, disrupting the innate response and triggering a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) state. Assaying SMARCA4 complex-regulated open chromatin domains by transposase cleavage -next generation sequencing (ATAC-Seq), we observed that the majority of cleavage sites in uninfected cells have reduced chromatin accessibility...

The distributions of the rac1, rhoA and cdc42 proteins in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infected cells was examined. All three rhoGTPases were detected within inclusion bodies, and while the rhoA and rac1 proteins were associated with virus filaments, only the rac1 protein was localised throughout the virus filaments. RSV infection led to increased rac1 protein activation, and using the rac1 protein inhibitor NS23766 we provided evidence that the increased rac1 activation occurred at the site of RSV assembly and facilitated F-actin remodeling during virus morphogenesis...

The apical junctional complexes (AJCs) of airway epithelial cells are a key component of the innate immune system by creating barriers to pathogens, inhaled allergens, and environmental particles. AJCs form between adjacent cells and consist of tight junctions (TJs) and adherens junctions (AJs). Respiratory viruses have been shown to target various components of the AJCs, leading to airway epithelial barrier dysfunction by different mechanisms. Virus-induced epithelial permeability may allow for allergens and bacterial pathogens to subsequently invade...
