Abstract
IMPORTANCE Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an acute and highly infectious viral disease that seriously endangered the development of the chicken industry. However, due to the limited effectiveness of commercial vaccines, there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective anti-IBV drugs. Forsythoside A (FTA) is a natural ingredient with wide pharmacological and biological activities, and it has been shown to have antiviral effects against IBV. However, the antiviral mechanism of FTA is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that FTA can inhibit cell apoptosis and autophagy induced by IBV infection by regulating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. This finding is important for exploring the role and mechanism of FTA in anti-IBV infection, indicating that FTA can be further studied as an anti-IBV drug.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15128.

Abstract
miRNAs represent ubiquitous regulators of gene expression and play an important and pivotal regulatory role in viral disease pathogenesis and virus-host interactions. Although previous studies have provided basic data for understanding the role of miRNAs in the molecular mechanisms of viral infection in birds, the role of miRNAs in the regulation of host responses to chicken astrovirus (CAstV) infection in chickens is not yet understood. In our study, we applied next-generation sequencing to profile miRNA expression in CAstV-infected chickens and to decipher miRNA-targeted specific signaling pathways engaged in potentially vital virus-infection biological processes. Among the 1354 detected miRNAs, we identified 58 mature miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed in infected birds. Target prediction resulted in 4741 target genes. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses showed that the target genes were mainly involved in the regulation of cellular processes and immune responses.

Abstract
Newcastle disease (ND) has been a consistent risk factor to the poultry industry worldwide. Its pathogen, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is also a promising antitumor treatment candidate. The pathogenic mechanism has intrigued the great curiosity of researchers, and advances in the last two decades have been summarized in this paper. The NDV’s pathogenic ability is highly related to the basic protein structure of the virus, which is described in the Introduction of this review. The overall clinical signs and recent findings pertaining to NDV-related lymph tissue damage are then described. Given the involvement of cytokines in the overall virulence of NDV, cytokines, particularly IL6 and IFN expressed during infection, are reviewed. On the other hand, the host also has its way of antagonizing the virus, which starts with the detection of the pathogen. Thus, advances in NDV’s physiological cell mechanism and the subsequent IFN response, autophagy, and apoptosis are summarized to provide a whole picture of the NDV infection process.

Abstract
The lead (Pb) contamination is considered a lethal threat to birds. However, Pb-induced hepatotoxicology especially its impacts on metabolic processes in the liver of birds is not yet fully understood. Therefore, we tried to determine the toxicological effects of Pb exposure on hepatic carbohydrate and lipid metabolism via Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway by using an animal model- Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). One-week old female Japanese quails were randomly allocated into four groups and fed with 0, 50 ppm, 500 ppm and 1000 ppm Pb drinking water respectively for 49 days. The results showed that Pb accumulated in the liver as a dose-dependent manner. Exposure to high dose of Pb (500 and 1000 ppm Pb) led to severe histopathological damages characterized by irregularity and dilation of liver sinusoids, hepatic lipid vacuolization and hepatocellular cytoplasm hyalinization. Meanwhile, Pb exposure caused glycogen increase and lipid droplets decrease in the liver. Pb exposure was also attributable to a decreased triglyceride level in the plasma. In addition, the transcriptional levels of PI3K and Akt in the liver were downregulated by Pb exposure. Subsequently, the mRNA expressions of genes related with glycometabolism in the liver were remarkably altered and the mRNA levels of genes involved in fat synthesis and oxidation in the liver were also markedly changed. it seems that Pb could lead to liver metabolic disorder through structural damages and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway disruption.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Of particular interest for this topic are the signaling cascades that regulate cell survival and death, two opposite cell programs whose control is hijacked by viral infections. The AKT and the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathways, which maintain cell homeostasis by regulating these two programs, have been shown to be deregulated during SARS-CoVs infection as well as in the development of cancer, one of the most important comorbidities in relation to COVID-19. Recent evidence revealed two way crosstalk mechanisms between the AKT and the UPR pathways, suggesting that they might constitute a unified homeostatic control system. Here, we review the role of the AKT and UPR pathways and their interaction in relation to SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as in tumor onset and progression. Feedback regulation between AKT and UPR pathways emerges as a master control mechanism of cell decision making in terms of survival or death and therefore represents a key potential target for developing treatments for both viral infection and cancer. In particular, drug repositioning, the investigation of existing drugs for new therapeutic purposes, could significantly reduce time and costs compared to de novo drug discovery.

Abstract
The PI3K/AKT/p53 signaling pathway is activated by various types of cellular stimuli or pathogenic infection, and then regulates fundamental cellular functions to combat these stimulations. Here, we studied the meaningful roles of PI3K/AKT/p53 in regulating cellular machine such as autophagy, immune responses, as well as antiviral activity in Chinese perch brain (CPB) cells infected by infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), which is an agent caused devastating losses in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) industry. We found that ISKNV infection induced up-regulation of host PI3K/AKT/p53 axis, but inhibited autophagy in CPB cells. Interestingly, activation of PI3K/AKT/p53 axis factors trough agonists or overexpression dramatically decreased host autophagy level, inhibited ISKNV replication, and elevated the expression of immune-related genes in CPB cells. In contrast, suppression of PI3K/AKT/p53 pathway by inhibitors or small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silence increased the autophagy and ISKNV replication, but down-regulated immune responses in CPB cells. All these results indicate that PI3K/AKT/p53 pathway plays an important role in anti-ISKNV infection and can be used as a new target for controlling ISKNV disease.

Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:722840.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), belonging to the genus Morbillivirus in the family Paramyxoviridae, causes severe infectious disease in small ruminants and has been rapidly spreading in many parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Although vaccination is considered to be an effective means of controlling PPR, the heat-sensitive nature of the vaccines against PPRV greatly limits their application in areas with a hot climate. In the present study, we investigated the anti-PPRV effects of favipiravir and sought to identify the underlying mechanisms in vitro using the Vero cell line. MTT assays, Western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence assays, virus plaque formation assays, and qRT-PCR were used to assess the effects of favipiravir on the life cycle of PPRV and the expression of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Additionally, the expression levels of JAK1, STAT1, phosphorylated (p)-STAT1, PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT, as well as those of signaling molecules acting downstream of the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, were determined by Western blotting and qRT-PCR. The results indicated that, in PPRV-infected, favipiravir-treated Vero cells, the attachment, invasion, replication, and release of PPRV were significantly inhibited, as was the expression of RdRp, when compared with that in untreated PPRV-infected cells. Furthermore, in favipiravir-treated cells, the expression of JAK1 and STAT1 was downregulated, whereas that of p-STAT1 was significantly upregulated. Similarly, the expression levels of PKR, IRF9, ISG54, and MxA proteins that are associated with innate antiviral activity in host cells were also markedly increased. Moreover, with favipiravir treatment, the expression of PI3K and p-AKT and the p-AKT/AKT ratio were significantly decreased, whereas the expression of AKT was noticeably upregulated. The expression of GSK3, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65, and BAD was also increased with favipiravir treatment, while the expression of CREB, p-CREB, p-GSK3, and Bcl-2 was slightly decreased. In addition, all the p-GSK3/GSK3, p-CREB/CREB, p-NF-κB/NF-κB, and p-BAD/BAD ratios were significantly reduced in favipiravir-treated cells. These results implied that the antiviral effectivity of favipiravir against PPRV is mediated by the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT pathways and that favipiravir has potential for use as an effective antiviral agent against PPRV.

Transcriptomic analysis of chicken immune response to infection of different doses of Newcastle disease vaccine. Gene 2020; 766:145077.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a contagious poultry paramyxovirus, leading to substantial economic losses to the poultry industry. Here, RNA-seq was carried out to investigate the altered expression of immune-related genes in chicken thymus within 96 h in response to NDV infection. In NDV-infected chicken thymus tissues, comparative transcriptome analysis revealed 1386 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 24 h with 989 up- and 397 down-regulated genes, 728 DEGs at 48 h with 567 up- and 161 down-regulated genes, 1514 DEGs at 72 h with 1016 up- and 498 down-regulated genes, and 1196 DEGs at 96 h with 522 up- and 674 down-regulated genes, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that these candidate targets mainly participate in biological processes or biochemical, metabolic and signal transduction processes. Notably, there is large enrichment in biological processes, cell components and metabolic processes, which may be related to NDV pathogenicity. In addition, the expression of five immune-related DEGs identified by RNA-seq was validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Our results indicated that the expression levels of AvBD5, IL16, IL22 and IL18R1 were obviously up-regulated, and Il-18 expression was also changed, but not significantly, which play key roles in the defense against NDV. Overall, we identified several candidate targets that may be involved in the regulation of NDV infection, which provide new insights into the complicated regulatory mechanisms of virus-host interactions, and explore new strategies for protecting chickens against the virus.

Abstract
As a major infectious disease in chickens, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes considerable economic losses in the poultry industry, especially in developing countries where there is limited access to effective vaccination. Therefore, enhancing resistance to the virus in commercial chickens through breeding is a promising way to promote poultry production. In this study, we investigated gene expression changes at 2 and 6 days post inoculation (dpi) at day 21 with a lentogenic NDV in a commercial egg-laying chicken hybrid using RNA sequencing analysis. By comparing NDV-challenged and non-challenged groups, 526 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05) were identified at 2 dpi, and only 36 at 6 dpi. For the DEGs at 2 dpi, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis predicted inhibition of multiple signaling pathways in response to NDV that regulate immune cell development and activity, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis. Up-regulation of interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 (IFIT5) in response to NDV was consistent between the current and most previous studies. Sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 1 (SPRY1), a DEG in the current study, is in a significant quantitative trait locus associated with virus load at 6 dpi in the same population. These identified pathways and DEGs provide potential targets to further study breeding strategy to enhance NDV resistance in chickens.

Abstract
Astrocytes provide metabolic support for neurons and modulate their functions by releasing a plethora of neuroactive molecules diffusing to neighboring cells. Here we report that astrocytes also play a role in cortical neurons' vulnerability to Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection through the release of extracellular ATP. We found that the interaction of HSV-1 with heparan sulfate proteoglycans expressed on the plasma membrane of astrocytes triggered phospholipase C-mediated IP3 -dependent intracellular Ca2+ transients causing extracellular release of ATP. ATP binds membrane purinergic P2 receptors (P2Rs) of both neurons and astrocytes causing an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration that activates the Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK)-3β, whose action is necessary for HSV-1 entry/replication in these cells. Indeed, in co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes HSV-1-infected neurons were only found in proximity of infected astrocytes releasing ATP, whereas in the presence of fluorocitrate, an inhibitor of astrocyte metabolism, switching-off the HSV-1-induced ATP release, very few neurons were infected. The addition of exogenous ATP, mimicking that released by astrocytes after HSV-1 challenge, restored the ability of HSV-1 to infect neurons co-cultured with metabolically-inhibited astrocytes. The ATP-activated, P2R-mediated, and GSK-3-dependent molecular pathway underlying HSV-1 infection is likely shared by neurons and astrocytes, given that the blockade of either P2Rs or GSK-3 activation inhibited infection of both cell types. These results add a new layer of information to our understanding of the critical role played by astrocytes in regulating neuronal functions and their response to noxious stimuli including microbial agents via Ca2+ -dependent release of neuroactive molecules.

Abstract
Translation control is crucial during virus-host interaction. On one hand, viruses completely rely on the protein synthesis machinery of host cells to propagate and have evolved various mechanisms to redirect the host's ribosomes toward their viral mRNAs. On the other hand, the host rewires its translation program in an attempt to contain and suppress the virus early on during infection; the antiviral program includes specific control on protein synthesis to translate several antiviral mRNAs involved in quenching the infection. As the infection progresses, host translation is in turn inhibited in order to limit viral propagation. We have learnt of very diverse strategies that both parties utilize to gain or retain control over the protein synthesis machinery. Yet novel strategies continue to be discovered, attesting for the importance of mRNA translation in virus-host interaction. This review focuses on recently described translation strategies employed by both hosts and viruses. These discoveries provide additional pieces in the understanding of the complex virus-host translation landscape. This article is categorized under: Translation > Translation Mechanisms Translation > Translation Regulation.

Abstract
The PI3K/Akt signalling pathway is a crucial signalling cascade that regulates transcription, protein translation, cell growth, proliferation, cell survival, and metabolism. During viral infection, viruses exploit a variety of cellular pathways, including the well-known PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. Conversely, cells rely on this pathway to stimulate an antiviral response. The PI3K/Akt pathway is manipulated by a number of viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses and retroviruses. The aim of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the role of the PI3K-Akt pathway in infection with members of five different families of negative-sense ssRNA viruses. This pathway is hijacked for viral entry, regulation of endocytosis, suppression of premature apoptosis, viral protein expression, and replication. Although less common, the PI3K/Akt pathway can be downregulated as an immunomodulatory strategy or as a mechanism for inducing autophagy. Moreover, the cell activates this pathway as an antiviral strategy for interferon and cytokine production, among other strategies. Here, we present new data concerning the role of this pathway in infection with the paramyxovirus Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Our data seem to indicate that NDV uses the PI3K/Akt pathway to delay cell death and increase cell survival as a means of improving its replication. The interference of negative-sense ssRNA viruses with this essential pathway might have implications for the development of antiviral therapies.

Fu X, Ming Y, Li C, Niu Y, Lin Q, Liu L, Liang H, Huang Z, Li N. Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) induces autophagy via PI3K/Akt-mTOR pathway in CPB cells. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 102:381-388. [PMID: 32360913 PMCID: PMC7252040 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.04.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Autophagy is an important mechanism for organisms to eliminate viruses and other intracellular pathogens. Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) is an agent that has caused devastating losses in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) industry. But the role of autophagy in Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) infection is not clearly understood. In this study, we identified that SCRV infection triggered autophagy in CPB cells, which was demonstrated by the appearance of the membrane vesicles, GFP-LC3 punctuate pattern, conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II, and the co-localization of autophagosomes and lysosomes. The changes of autophagy flux in SCRV infection indicated that autophagy was inhibited at the early stage of SCRV infection, but was promoted at the late stage. UV-inactivated SCRV can induce autophagy, suggesting that SCRV replication is not essential for the induction of autophagy. Furthermore, we found inducing autophagy with Rapa inhibited SCRV proliferation, but inhibiting autophagy with 3-MA or CQ increased SCRV production in CPB cells. Then we assessed the effects of PI3K/Akt-mTOR signaling pathway on SCRV induced autophagy. We found that SCRV infection activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway at 4 hpi, but inhibited it at 8 hpi. SCRV-N mRNA and protein level were decreased by inhibiting PI3K with LY294002, but increased by activating PI3K with 740Y-P. Those results indicated that SCRV infection induced autophagy via the PI3K/Akt-mTOR signal pathway, which will provide new insights into SCRV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies.

Newcastle disease virus mediated apoptosis and migration inhibition of human oral cancer cells: A probable role of β-catenin and matrix metalloproteinase-7. Sci Rep 2019; 9:10882. [PMID: 31350432 PMCID: PMC6659693 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-47244-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2019] [Accepted: 07/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Cancer cell metastasis and its dissemination are most enigmatic and challenging aspects in the development of its therapeutics. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a well-studied avian paramyxovirus frequently isolated from birds and rarely from mammals. Since the first report of its oncolytic property, many NDV strains were studied for its effect in various cancer cells. In the present study, NDV strain Bareilly was characterized for its apoptotic potential and migration inhibition in human oral cancer cells. The NDV mediated apoptosis was confirmed by flow cytometry, DNA laddering, and immunoblotting. Moreover, NDV decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential suggesting an intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in oral cancer cells. NDV infection in oral cancer cells results in migration inhibition by a reduction in levels of MMP-7. MMP-7 is one of the key target genes of β-catenin. While overexpression of MMP-7 reversed the inhibitory effect of NDV mediated migration suggested its possible involvement. Wnt/β-catenin is an essential pathway for cell growth, differentiation, and metastasis. The involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in NDV infection has never been reported. Our results showed that NDV dysregulates Wnt/β-catenin by down-regulation of p-Akt and p-GSK3β leading to degradation of β-catenin. Furthermore, NDV infection leads to a reduction in cytoplasmic and nuclear levels of β-catenin. The study will provide us with a better insight into the molecular mechanism of NDV mediated oncolysis and the key cellular partners involved in the process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recombinant avirulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) LaSota strain expressing the rabies virus glycoprotein (rL-RVG) can induce much greater apoptosis than can NDV in gastric carcinoma cells, but the mechanisms involved remains unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 2 gastric carcinoma cell lines were divided into the rL-RVG group, the NDV group, and the PBS group. MTT assay was used to detect and analyze cell viability. siRNA for alpha7-nAChR, alpha7-nAChR antagonist, or alpha7-nAChR agonist, AKT antagonist, and p-AKT agonist were used for pretreatment. The protein expressions of RVG, NDV, alpha7-nAChR, cleaved caspase-3, p-AKT, PI3K, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins were detected by Western blot assay. Immunofluorescence was used to detect expressions of alpha7-nAChR proteins. Light microscopy, flow cytometry, and TUNEL assay were used to assess apoptosis. RESULTS The results showed that 2 virus concentrations over 10³ dilution caused greater cell proliferation inhibition. rL-RVG treatment increased the expression of alpha7-nAChR, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax protein but decreased the expression of p-AKT, PI3K, and Bcl-2 protein. When the groups were pretreated with alpha7-nAChR antagonist, the alpha7-nAChR, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax protein expression increased, but the expression of p-AKT, PI3K, and Bcl-2 protein was clearly decreased. However, the results in the alpha7-nAChR agonist group were the opposite. When treated with the AKT antagonist, the result was the same as in the rL-RVG treatment group. The result in the AKT agonist group was the opposite of that in the AKT antagonist group. Compared with the NDV group, the results of light microscopy, FCM, and TUNEL assay showed that alpha7-nAChR antagonist significantly affected the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in the rL-RVG group. CONCLUSIONS rL-RVG leads to much greater apoptosis through the alpha7-nAChR/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Raddeanin A Induces Apoptosis and Cycle Arrest in Human HCT116 Cells through PI3K/AKT Pathway Regulation In Vitro and In Vivo. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2019; 2019:7457105. [PMID: 31239864 PMCID: PMC6556300 DOI: 10.1155/2019/7457105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2018] [Revised: 01/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo effects of Raddeanin A on apoptosis and the cell cycle in the human colorectal cell line, HCT116, and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms of action. We found the growth inhibition rate gradually increased as the drug concentration increased via the 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay, which indicated that Raddeanin A significantly inhibited the growth of HCT116 cells. Flow cytometry (FCM) showed that Raddeanin A concentration-dependently induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells. In addition, the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase was noticeably increased, which indicated that Raddeanin A blocked cell cycle progression in HCT116 cells and caused arrest in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, the expression of proteins involved in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway (e.g., p-PI3K and p-AKT) was decreased. The results showed that in vivo revealed that Raddeanin A significantly inhibited tumor growth in an HCT116-xenografted mouse model; apoptotic cells were also detected in the tumor tissue. The expression of the tissue proteins cyclinD1, cyclinE, p-PI3K, and p-AKT was decreased. The above results show that the Raddeanin A exerted a strong antitumor effect in the human colorectal cell line HCT116 both in vitro and in vivo. This effect may be caused by the induction of apoptosis and cycle arrest achieved through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway regulation.

Abstract
It is known that viruses can active the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway in host cells to support cell survival and viral replication; however, the role of PI3K/Akt signaling in the pathogenic mechanisms induced by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) which causes a neoplastic Marek’s disease in poultry, remains unknown. In this study, we showed that MDV activated the PI3K/Akt pathway in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) at the early phase of infection, whereas treatment with a PI3K inhibitor LY294002 prior to MDV infection decreased viral replication and DNA synthesis. Flow cytometry analysis showed that inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway could significantly increase apoptosis in MDV-infected host cells, indicating that activation of PI3K/Akt signaling could facilitate viral replication through support of cell survival during infection. Evaluation of the underlying molecular mechanism by co-immunoprecipitation and laser confocal microscopy revealed that a viral protein Meq interacted with both p85α and p85β regulatory subunits of PI3K and could induce PI3K/Akt signaling in Meq-overexpressing chicken fibroblasts. Our results showed, for the first time, that MDV activated PI3K/Akt signaling in host cells through interaction of its Meq protein with the regulatory p85 subunit of PI3K to delay cell apoptosis and promote viral replication. This study provides clues for further studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying MDV infection and pathogenicity for the host.

Abstract
In the early stages of infection, gaining control of the cellular protein synthesis machinery including its ribosomes is the ultimate combat objective for a virus. To successfully replicate, viruses unequivocally need to usurp and redeploy this machinery for translation of their own mRNA. In response, the host triggers global shutdown of translation while paradoxically allowing swift synthesis of antiviral proteins as a strategy to limit collateral damage. This fundamental conflict at the level of translational control defines the outcome of infection. As part of this special issue on molecular mechanisms of early virus-host cell interactions, we review the current state of knowledge regarding translational control during viral infection with specific emphasis on protein kinase RNA-activated and mammalian target of rapamycin-mediated mechanisms. We also describe recent technological advances that will allow unprecedented insight into how viruses and host cells battle for ribosomes.

Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in cell growth, apoptosis and spermatogenesis. Our previous study showed that miR-638 was differentially expressed in sexually immature and mature testes of Large White boars. Here we reported that sperm-associated antigen 1 (SPAG1) was a direct target gene of miR-638. Moreover, miR-638 inhibited cell proliferation and cell cycle, and promoted apoptosis of porcine immature Sertoli cells. Key genes including phosphorylated phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (p-PI3K) and phosphorylated serine/ threonine kinase (p-AKT) in PI3K/AKT pathway as well as cell cycle factors including c-MYC, cyclin-D1 (CCND1), cyclin-E1 (CCNE1) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) were all significantly down-regulated after overexpression of miR-638 or RNAi of SPAG1. Notably, mRNA levels of SRY-related HMG-box 2 (SOX2) and POU domain, class 5, transcription factor 1 (POU5F1) essential for spermatogonia proliferation were significantly suppressed in SPAG1 siRNA- transfected ST cells. This study suggests that miR-638 regulates immature Sertoli cell growth and apoptosis by targeting SPAG1 gene which can indirectly inactivate PI3K/AKT pathway, and plays roles in pig spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Streptococcus pyogenes is a bacterium that causes systemic diseases, such as pharyngitis and toxic shock syndrome, via oral- or nasal-cavity infection. S. pyogenes produces various molecules known to function with serum components that lead to bacterial adhesion and invasion in human tissues. In this study, we identified a novel S. pyogenes adhesin/invasin. Our results revealed that CAMP factor promoted streptococcal adhesion and invasion in pharyngeal epithelial Detroit562 cells without serum. Recombinant CAMP factor initially localized on the membranes of cells and then became internalized in the cytosol following S. pyogenes infection. Additionally, CAMP factor phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase and serine-threonine kinase in the cells. ELISA results demonstrate that CAMP factor affected the amount of phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase and serine-threonine kinase in Detroit562 cells. Furthermore, CAMP factor did not reverse the effect of phosphoinositide 3-kinase knockdown by small interfering RNA in reducing the level of adhesion and invasion of S. pyogenes isogenic cfa-deficient mutant. These results suggested that S. pyogenes CAMP factor activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/serine-threonine kinase signaling pathway, promoting S. pyogenes invasion of Detroit562 cells without serum. Our findings suggested that CAMP factor played an important role on adhesion and invasion in pharyngeal epithelial cells.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the role of autophagy and apoptosis in Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-infected chicken cells and tissues. NDV-infected and starvation-induced chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) cells showed higher autophagosome formation than mock-infected CEF cells on transmission electron microscopy. The NDV-infected CEF cells showed enhanced conversion of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-I (LC3-I) to LC3-II and degradation of p62/SQSTM1. The diminished conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II and cleaved caspase 3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in ultraviolet-inactivated NDV-infected cells suggested that autophagosome formation was necessary for NDV replication. Inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine (CQ) enhanced apoptosis resulting in increased cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP and AnnexinV/propidium iodide staining. Autophagy induction by rapamycin resulted in upregulation of all autophagy-related genes except Beclin 1, anti-apoptosis factors, and proinflammatory cytokines in the NDV-infected spleen and lung tissues. Subsequently, decreased apoptosis was observed in NDV-infected spleens and lungs than mock-infected organs. The pan-caspase inhibitor ZVAD-FMK promoted conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II, the degradation of p62/SQSTM1, NDV replication and cell viability by inhibiting apoptosis. Our study demonstrates that apoptosis inhibition enhances autophagy and promoted cell survival and NDV replication.
