A comparative analysis of cell death signalling in RNA and DNA virus infections and potential inhibitory strategies

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...

The Nucleoside Analogue NITD008, Alone or Combined With Ribavirin, Potently Reduces Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Humanised Mice

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 12, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is becoming increasingly clinically relevant worldwide, but no approved antiviral therapy currently exists. Ribavirin (RBV) is used off‐label for immunosuppressed patients with chronic hepatitis E, although it is effective in only 80% of patients and linked to side effects.

The Significance of cGAS‐STING Signaling in Response to Oncogenic Viruses

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway, as a key DNA sensor, plays a significant role in the regulation of innate immune responses. This pathway can be activated by sensing abnormal DNA, and is of great significance for resisting the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and maintaining ...

Lagovirus Non-structural Protein p23: A Putative Viroporin That Interacts With Heat Shock Proteins and Uses a Disulfide Bond for Dimerization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The exact function(s) of the lagovirus non-structural protein p23 is unknown as robust cell culture systems for the Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and other lagoviruses have not been established.

Design and Synthesis of Novel Imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine Derivatives, Evaluation of Their Activity Against Hepatitis C Virus and In Silico Prediction of Their Binding Mode to NS4B Protein

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
A series of 18 novel imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridines was synthesized, and their anti‐HCV activity was evaluated. Compound 30b was identified as the most promising one, with EC50 = 6.61 µM. Molecular docking studies indicated the NS4B protein of the HCV as a potential target of these derivatives.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Viroporin 3a Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) regulates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-18. We previously showed that influenza virus M2 or encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) 2B proteins stimulate

Regulation of the ER Stress Response by the Ion Channel Activity of the Infectious Bronchitis Coronavirus Envelope Protein Modulates Virion Release, Apoptosis, Viral Fitness, and Pathogenesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Coronavirus (CoV) envelope (E) protein is a small structural protein critical for virion morphogenesis and release. The recently characterized E protein ion channel activity (EIC) has also been implicated in modulating viral pathogenesis.

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 and Cancer Biology: Exploring the Mechanistic Links

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Five years after the emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 and the declaration of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the long‐term implications of COVID‐19 for cancer biology remain incompletely understood. Beyond the major disruptions in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment observed worldwide, increasing attention has focused on whether SARS‐CoV‐2 ...
