[PMID: 37479047 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2023.106259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to explore the role of miR-342-5p in EV71 replication. METHODS Peritoneal injection of EV71 (107 TCID50/mL) at 50, 100, and 150 μL was conducted to infect 12-day-old suckling mice (n = 10 per group), and clinical scores and survival rates were recorded during a 6-day trial duration and followed by transcriptome sequencing of collected spinal cord tissues. The differential miRNAs and target genes of the infected and uninfected EV71 mice were analyzed. The miR-342 and CTNNBIP1 binding sites were detected using a dual luciferase reporter assay. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. RT-qPCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry assays were conducted to detect VP1 protein levels. RESULTS Transcriptome sequencing analyses know that the Wnt pathway played a role in EV71 infection, and the CTNNBIP1 gene in this pathway was the target gene of miR-342-5p. Whether in HMC3 cells or in the spinal cord tissue from the suckling mice, high levels of miR-342-5p markedly promoted EV71 VP1 mRNA and protein expression, elevated TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels, and inhibited IFN-β levels. In addition, highly expressed miR-342-5p destroyed neuronal structure in spinal cord tissues and reduced the number of glial cells. Highly expressed CTNNBIP1 blocked the promotion of miR-342-5p in EV71 replication, and inhibited TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels, whereas elevated IFN-β levels. This mechanism is that miR-342-5p can target the CTNNBIP1 3' UTR region, inhibit its expression and reduce its binding to CTNNB1, thus enhancing the interaction between CTNNB1 and TCF4 and activating the Wnt pathway-mediated type I interferon response. CONCLUSION In nerve cells and tissues, the overexpression of miR-342-5p promoted the replication of EV71 and attenuated the innate immune response to antiviral disease via Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway.

TBK1 and IRF3 are potential therapeutic targets in Enterovirus A71-associated diseases. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2023; 17:e0011001. [PMID: 36626364 PMCID: PMC9831319 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is an important causative agent of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) associated with enormous healthcare and socioeconomic burden. Although a range of studies about EV-A71 pathogenesis have been well described, the underlying molecular mechanism in terms of innate immune response is still not fully understood, especially the roles of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and interferon-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we applied TBK1 inhibitor and IRF3 agonist, for the first time, to evaluate the antiviral activities of TBK1 and IRF3 in vivo. We found that, through regulating EV-A71-induced type I interferon (IFN) response, IRF3 agonist effectively alleviated EV-A71-induced illness, while TBK1 inhibitor aggravated disease progression. In addition, EV-A71 replication was suppressed in EVA-71-infected mice administrated with IRF3 agonist. On the other hand, more severe pathological alterations of neuronal degeneration, muscle fiber breaks, fractured or fused alveolar walls, and diffuse congestion occurred in EVA-71-infected mice treated with TBK1 inhibitor administration. Furthermore, we determined the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and IL-10 in both lungs and brains of mice and found that TBK1 inhibitor promoted EV-A71-induced inflammatory response, while IRF3 agonist alleviated it, which was consistent with clinical manifestations and pathological alterations. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings suggest that TBK1 and IRF3 are potential therapeutic targets in EV-A71-induced illness.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a highly pleiotropic glycoprotein factor that can modulate innate and adaptive immunity as well as various aspects of metabolism, including glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation. Recently, the expression and release of IL-6 is shown to be significantly increased in numerous diseases related to virus infection, and this increase is positively correlated with the disease severity. Immunity and metabolism are two highly integrated and interdependent systems, the balance between them plays a pivotal role in maintaining body homeostasis. IL-6-elicited inflammatory response is found to be closely associated with metabolic disorder in patients with viral infection. This brief review summarizes the regulatory role of IL-6 in immunometabolic reprogramming among seven viral infection-associated diseases.

Abstract
Background The increase of inflammation-inducing enterobacteria was recently observed in severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71). This study aimed to verify the occurrence of bacterial translocation (BT) and further explore the contributory role of BT to severity of EV-A71-mediated HFMD cases. Methods Serum specimens from 65 mild and 65 severe EV-A71-associated HFMD cases and 65 healthy children were collected. EV-A71 VP1 in serum, inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein, IL-1β, IL-6, interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α, BT related biomarkers including Claudin-3, intestinal fatty acid binding protein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), soluble CD14 (sCD14) and endotoxin core antibody were measured by ELISA. Bacterial DNA (BactDNA) fragments were quantified by quantified PCR (qPCR). Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) or SH-SY5Y cells, infected with LPS-pre-incubated EV-A71 or transfected with plasmid containing viral 2Apro or mRNA containing viral internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), were post-treated with or without LPS in vitro. EV-A71 RNA and viral or cellular proteins were determined by qPCR and western blot, respectively. Results Compared to mild HFMD patients, remarkably higher inflammatory mediators as well as BT-related biomarkers except BactDNA were observed in severe HFMD cases (all P < 0.05). In severe HFMD group, circulating concentrations of LPS and sCD14 showed statistical correlations with inflammation indices (all P < 0.05), serum levels of EV-A71 VP1 were found to be positively correlated with serum LPS (r = 0.341, P = 0.005) and serum sCD14 (r = 0.458, P < 0.001). In vitro, EV-A71 attachment and internalization were only slightly promoted by LPS pre-incubation; however, EV-A71 proliferation and viral 2Apro-mediated IRES activity were significantly accelerated by LPS post-treatment. Conclusions Our results collectively indicate that gut-derived translocating LPS contributes to the severity of EV-A71-induced HFMD by driving inflammatory response and viral proliferation via viral 2Apro-mediated IRES.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A 33-year-old man presented with acute painless loss of vision in his right eye after hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD). Examination confirmed a right optic neuropathy. Neuroimaging and routine evaluations for alternative causes for an optic neuropathy were negative. He was treated with high dose corticosteroids and made an almost complete visual recovery. Postinfectious optic neuritis has been reported after a vast array of infections including: varicella zoster virus, influenza virus, herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr Virus, Lyme disease, and many others. Although Coxsackie virus infections are a known cause of HFMD and have been reported to cause maculopathy, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of optic neuritis after HFMD in the English language ophthalmic literature.

Abstract
Objective The present study was designed in order to elucidate the roles of serum interleukin 6 (IL‐6) in the pathogenesis in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE). Methods Paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were obtained from 101 patients with SLE when they presented active neuropsychiatric manifestations (69 patients with diffuse psychiatric/neuropsychological syndromes [diffuse NPSLE] and 32 patients with neurologic syndromes or peripheral nervous system involvement [focal NPSLE]) and from 22 control patients without SLE with noninflammatory neurological diseases. The levels of albumin and IL‐6 in CSF and sera were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results Serum IL‐6 and CSF IL‐6 were elevated in NPSLE compared with non‐SLE controls. Among NPSLE, serum IL‐6 and CSF IL‐6 were significantly elevated in acute confusional state (ACS) compared with non‐ACS diffuse NPSLE (anxiety disorder, cognitive dysfunction, mood disorder, and psychosis) or focal NPSLE. Q albumin (CSF/serum albumin quotient) was also significantly higher in ACS than in the other two groups of NPSLE. Of note, serum IL‐6 (r = 0.2801, p = 0.0207), but not CSF IL‐6 (r = 0.1602, p = 0.1918), was significantly correlated with Q albumin in patients with diffuse NPSLE, including ACS and non‐ACS. Conclusion These results indicate that serum IL‐6 as well as CSF IL‐6 is involved in the pathogenesis of NPSLE. Moreover, it is suggested that serum IL‐6 might play a most important role in blood‐brain barrier breakdown in NPSLE.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is most frequently caused by several serotypes of human enterovirus (EV) including Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16), or other types of EV. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological characteristics of HFMD and to describe the epidemiologic characteristics of HFMD among severe and mild cases. We collected 4760 HFMD cases in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2018. Specimens from these cases were collected and tested for EV-A71, CV-A16, CV-A6, CV-A10, CV-A2, and CV-A5 by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. From 2016 to 2018, the prevalence of HFMD was seasonal each year. Among the 4760 probable HFMD cases, 3559 cases were confirmed (74.8%), including 426 cases of EV-A71 infections (8.9%), 249 cases of CV-A16 infections (5.2%), and 2884 cases of other EV infections (60.6%). The percentage of other EV infections was more than 80%, which increased year by year. Random selection of samples for detection of other EV infections in 2017 and 2018, among the 1297 cases, showed there were 835 (64.4%) cases of CV-A6 infections, 177 (13.6%) cases of CV-A10 infections, 100 (7.7%) cases of CV-A2 infections, 40 (3.1%) cases of CV-A5 infections, 3 (0.02 %) cases of mixed infections, and 11.0% untyped EV infections. Preschool children were still the primary population susceptible to HFMD. In severe cases, EV-A71 infection was the main cause. Characterizing the epidemiology and the relationship between severe and common cases of HFMD would provide relevant evidences for the prevention and treatment of HFMD.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the most common intestinal virus that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in infants and young children (mostly ≤5 years of age). Generally, children with EV71-infected HFMD have mild symptoms that resolve spontaneously within 7-14 days without complications. However, some EV71-infected HFMD cases lead to severe complications such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, pulmonary edema, cardiorespiratory complication, circulatory disorders, poliomyelitis-like paralysis, myocarditis, meningoencephalitis, neonatal sepsis, and even death. The mechanism of EV71 pathogenesis has been studied extensively, and the regulation of host immune responses is suspected to aggravate EV71-induced severe complications. Recently, several cytokines or chemokines such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-33, IL-37, IL-4, IL-13, IL-6, IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, IL-35, IL-10, IL-22, IL-17F, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, G-CSF, and HMGB1 have been reported to be associated with severe EV71 infection by numerous research teams, including our own. This review is aimed at summarizing the pathophysiology of the cytokines and chemokines with severe EV71 infection.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is an important etiological agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which can also lead to severe neurological complications (eg, encephalitis) in young children. Although a series of reports on EV71 infection have been published, the pathogenic mechanism of EV71 infection is still not fully understood.We evaluated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-8, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-12p70 in 88 children with EV71-related encephalitis and 19 children with febrile convulsion (FC) with the use of commercial cytometric bead array kits.The levels of IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 in CSF were significantly higher in encephalitis group when compared with those observed in FC group, while no significant changes were noted in the levels of TNF-α and IL-12p70. In addition, significant and positive correlations among CSF IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 were observed in encephalitis group. Furthermore, receiver operator characteristic analysis determined a cut-off value of 10.62 pg/mL for IL-6 to discriminate encephalitis patients from FCs with the sensitivity and specificity of 89.8% and 84.2%, respectively. Moreover, logistic regression analyses revealed that IL-6 was an independent predictor of EV71-related encephalitis (odds ratio = 23.241, P < .001).Our results indicate that 4 inflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EV71 infection. IL-6 may be used for the evaluation of EV71-related encephalitis and as a potential therapy candidate for EV71 infection.

Abstract
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is the major pathogen responsible for the severe hand, foot and mouth disease worldwide, for which few effective antiviral drugs are presently available. Interferon-α (IFN-α) has been used in antiviral therapy for decades; it has been reported that EV-A71 antagonizes the antiviral activity of IFN-α based on viral 2Apro-mediated reduction of the interferon-alpha receptor 1 (IFNAR1); however, the mechanism remains unknown. Here, we showed a significant increase in IFNAR1 protein induced by IFN-α in RD cells, whereas EV-A71 infection caused obvious down-regulation of the IFNAR1 protein and blockage of IFN-α signaling. Subsequently, we observed that EV-A71 2Apro inhibited IFNAR1 translation by cleavage of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4GI (eIF4GI), without affecting IFNAR1 mRNA levels induced by IFN-α. The inhibition of IFNAR1 translation also occurred in puromycin-induced apoptotic cells when caspase-3 cleaved eIF4GI. Importantly, we verified that 2Apro could activate cellular caspase-3, which was subsequently involved in eIF4GI cleavage mediated by 2Apro. Furthermore, inhibition of caspase-3 activation resulted in the partial restoration of IFNAR1 in cells transfected with 2A or infected with EV-A71, suggesting the pivotal role of both viral 2Apro and caspase-3 activation in the disturbance of IFN-α signaling. Collectively, we elucidate a novel mechanism by which cellular caspase-3 contributes to viral 2Apro-mediated down-regulation of IFNAR1 at the translation level during EV-A71 infection, indicating that caspase-3 inhibition could be a potential complementary strategy to improve clinical anti-EV-A71 therapy with IFN-α.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the natural history of human type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the documented associations between virus infections (in particular the enteroviruses) and disease development. We review studies that examine whether T1D-specific risk alleles in genes involved in the function of the immune system can alter susceptibility to virus infections or affect the magnitude of the host antiviral response. We also highlight where the major gaps in our knowledge exist and consider possible implications that new insights gained from the discussed gene-environment interaction studies may bring. RECENT FINDINGS A commonality between several of the studied T1D risk variants studied is their role in modulating the host immune response to viral infection. Generally, little support exists indicating that the risk variants increase susceptibility to infection and moreover, they usually appear to predispose the immune system towards a hyper-reactive state, decrease the risk of infection, and/or favor the establishment of viral persistence. In conclusion, although the current number of studies is limited, this type of research can provide important insights into the mechanisms that are central to disease pathogenesis and further describe how genetic and environmental factors jointly influence the risk of T1D development. The latter may provide genetic markers that could be used for patient stratification and for the selection of method(s) for disease prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE New clinical indicators are urgently needed for predicting the progression and complications of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) caused by EV-A71 infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum specimens from 132 EV-A71 HFMD patients and 73 health children were collected during 2012-2014 in Shenzhen, China. The specific cytokines/chemokines were detected with a 274-human cytokine antibody array, followed by a 38-inflammation cytokine array, and further validated by ELISA. RESULTS Cytokines varied in different severity of EV-A71 HFMD patients. The ROC curve analysis revealed 5 serum cytokines with high sensitivity and specificity in predicting the disease progression. Eotaxin, IL-8 and IP-10 have showed high AUC values (0.90-0.95) for discrimination between the health controls and the patient group. The three cytokines showed high sensitivity (80-91%) and specificity (88-95%). MMP-8 had a high sensitivity and specificity to predict mild HFMD (100%, 100%). IL-1b and leptin discriminated the severe/critical group from the mild group (79% and 69% in sensitivity, 73% and 63% in specificity). CONCLUSIONS Eotaxin, IP-10 and IL-8 could be potential indicators for predicting HFMD progression with EV-A71 infection. MMP-8 is a specific indicator for mild infection, while IL-1b and leptin display potential for predicting the severity and criticality.

Abstract
A number of studies have demonstrated that resveratrol (RES) has a variety of biological functions, including cardiovascular protective effects, treatment of mutations, and anti‑inflammatory, anti‑tumor and antiviral effects. In the present study, RES‑loaded nanoparticles (RES‑NPs) were used to protect rhabdosarcoma (RD) cells from enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection, and the relevant mechanisms were also explored. An amphiphilic copolymer, monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol)‑b‑poly (D,L‑lactide), was used as vehicle material, and RES‑NPs with necessitated drug‑loading content and suitable sizes were prepared under optimized conditions. RES‑NPs exhibited the ability to inhibit the increase of intracellular oxidative stress. The prospective mechanism for the function of RES‑NPs suggested was that RES‑NPs may inhibit the oxidative stress‑mediated PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 signaling pathway, downregulate the autophagy pathway and resist EV71‑induced RD cells injury. Furthermore, RES‑NPs treatment markedly inhibited the secretion of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)‑6, IL‑8 and tumor necrosis factor‑α elicited by EV71 infection. Concomitantly, inhibitors of oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) or autophagy were demonstrated to negate the anti‑inflammatory and antiviral effects of RES‑NPs on EV71‑infected RD cells. These results demonstrated that RES‑NPs attenuated EV71‑induced viral replication and inflammatory effects by inhibiting the oxidative stress‑mediated ERS/autophagy signaling pathway. In view of their safety and efficiency, these RES‑NPs have potential applications in protecting RD cells from EV71 injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although γδ T cells have been reported to be closely related to the immunopathogenesis of some viral infectious diseases, the changes or roles of γδ T cells in the development of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) remain unclear. METHODS Peripheral γδ T cells and their subsets were determined by surface (γδ TCR, Vδ1 TCR, Vδ2 TCR, CD45RA, and CD27) or intracellular (IFN-γ, TNF-α, CD107a, and Granzyme B) markers in healthy controls (HCs) and HFMD patients with FACS. The plasma levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1 were measured by ELISA. Differences in γδ T cells or their subsets and correlations between γδ T cells and inflammation indicators were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Compared to HCs, HFMD patients showed increased effector γδ T and TNF-α+γδ T cells and plasma TNF-α levels, especially in severe cases. In addition, significantly increased Vδ1 T and IFN-γ+γδ T cells and other plasma inflammatory cytokines were further found in severe patients. Furthermore, EV71+ severe patients showed significantly increased effector and cytokine-producing γδ T cells, while the EV71- severe patients displayed significantly greater plasma cytokine levels. The percentage of IFN-γ+γδ T or TNF-α+γδ T cells was positively correlated with that of effector γδ T cells. There was a positive correlation between the proportion of Vδ1 T cells and white blood cell (WBC) count or the proportion of IFN-γ+γδ T or TNF-α+γδ T cells and neutrophil (N) count, while there was a negative correlation between Vδ2 T cells and WBC or N count. Moreover, the percentages of Vδ1 T and effector γδ T cells in the acute phase of disease declined significantly to normal levels during the recovery phase. CONCLUSIONS Increased effector γδ T cells with enhanced cytokine production were remarkably observed in severe HFMD patients, which was also associated with clinical inflammation parameters. These data indicated that γδ T cells might be involved in inflammatory abnormalities in severe HFMD.

Abstract
To evaluate the clinical value of aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) in hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and its effect on AQP-4 expression. Children with HFMD were divided into a common group, a severe group and a critical group according to Chinese guidelines; children in the critical group were further divided into two subgroups: routine treatment group and MgSO4 group. Outcome measures included systolic blood pressure (SBP), Heart rate (HR), the levels of AQP-4, interleukin-6 (IL-6), norepinephrine (NE), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Serum AQP-4, IL-6, NE, and NSE levels varied significantly among the critical, severe, and common groups before and after treatment. There were no significant differences in AQP-4 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the critical and severe groups before and after treatment; however, CSF AQP-4 levels in these two groups were higher than those in the common group before treatment. Serum and CSF AQP-4 levels in convalescence decreased significantly in the critical and severe groups. SBP, HR and serum AQP-4, IL-6, NE, NSE levels, but not CSF AQP-4 levels, were significantly lower in MgSO4 group than in the routine treatment group. AQP-4 in serum, but not in CSF, is a candidate biomarker for evaluating the severity and prognosis of HFMD; MgSO4 can provide protection on children with critical HFMD.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the changes in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in pediatric patients with sepsis, and explored their relationships with serum inflammatory factors in pediatric patients. Material/Methods A total of 120 pediatric patients with sepsis admitted to and treated at our hospital from 2013 to 2017 were divided into 4 groups: a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) group (n=28), a sepsis group (n=35), a severe sepsis group (n=27), and a septic shock group (n=30). Plasma BNP, cTnI, and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) levels in pediatric patients in the 4 groups were measured, and the correlations of BNP and cTnI with plasma inflammatory factors C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were investigated. Results The plasma BNP and cTnI levels in pediatric patients with sepsis were significantly higher than those in the SIRS group (p<0.05). After hospitalization and treatment, levels of BNP and cTnI in pediatric patients were decreased. The concentrations of BNP and cTnI were correlated with CRP level (r=0.88 and 0.88, respectively). The associations (r value) of BNP and cTnI with TNF-α levels were 0.35 and 0.48, respectively. Conclusions The levels of plasma BNP and cTnI are associated with the severity of sepsis in pediatric patients, and were positively correlated with CRP and TNF-α levels, which provides a novel strategy for the early diagnosis and evaluation of sepsis in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Brain dysfunction is a prerequisite for critical complications in children with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Aquaporin 4 (AQP-4) may be involved in the pathological process of cerebral oedema and injury in children with severe and critical HFMD. This study aimed to assess the association of AQP-4 with the severity of enterovirus 71 (EV71)-associated HFMD. Children with EV71-infected HFMD were divided into a common group (clinical stage 1), a severe group (clinical stage 2), and a critical group (clinical stage 3) according to Chinese guidelines. The levels of AQP-4, interleukin-6 (IL-6), norepinephrine (NE), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) before and after treatment were tested. Serum AQP-4, IL-6, NE, and NSE levels showed significant differences among the critical, severe, and common groups before and after treatment (P<0.01). No significant differences in AQP-4 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were observed between the critical and severe groups before and after treatment, but the CSF AQP-4 levels in these two groups were higher than those in the common group before treatment (P<0.01). Serum AQP-4 levels, but not CSF AQP-4 levels, closely correlated with serum IL-6, NE, and NSE levels. These results suggest that the level of AQP-4 in serum, but not in CSF, is a candidate biomarker for evaluating the severity and prognosis of EV71-associated HFMD.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the main causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which has high morbidity and mortality. It mainly threatens children under six years of age. Because of a poor understanding of its pathogenesis, there are no effective drugs to control EV71 infection. Previous studies showed that EV71 infection induced autophagy and the production of cytokine IL-6. However, the underlying mechanisms between autophagy and the production of IL-6 induced by EV71 remain unclear. This study aimed to reveal the regulatory mechanisms between autophagy and the expression of IL-6 induced by EV71 infection. Our results showed that the proliferation of human gastric epithelial (GES-1) cells was inhibited by EV71 in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In addition, EV71 induced autophagy in GES-1 cells. EV71 infection promoted the expression and the release of IL-6 to the extracellular space, although the expression and release were inhibited by autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ) in GES-1 cells. The phosphorylated levels of p38MAPK and ERK proteins in GES-1 cells also increased after infection with EV71, and these changes were also reversed by 3-MA and CQ treatment. Our findings suggested that EV71-induced autophagy regulated the production of IL-6 through the p38MAPK and ERK signaling pathways.
