Abstract
AIMS Virus infection triggers inflammation and, may impose nutrient shortage to the heart. Supported by type I interferon (IFN) signalling, cardiomyocytes counteract infection by various effector processes, with the IFN-stimulated gene of 15 kDa (ISG15) system being intensively regulated and protein modification with ISG15 protecting mice Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection. The underlying molecular aspects how the ISG15 system affects the functional properties of respective protein substrates in the heart are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on the protective properties due to protein ISGylation, we set out a study investigating CVB3-infected mice in depth and found cardiac atrophy with lower cardiac output in ISG15-/- mice. By mass spectrometry, we identified the protein targets of the ISG15 conjugation machinery in heart tissue and explored how ISGylation affects their function. The cardiac ISGylome showed a strong enrichment of ISGylation substrates within glycolytic metabolic processes. Two control enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, hexokinase 2 (HK2) and phosphofructokinase muscle form (PFK1), were identified as bona fide ISGylation targets during infection. In an integrative approach complemented with enzymatic functional testing and structural modelling, we demonstrate that protein ISGylation obstructs the activity of HK2 and PFK1. Seahorse-based investigation of glycolysis in cardiomyocytes revealed that, by conjugating proteins, the ISG15 system prevents the infection-/IFN-induced up-regulation of glycolysis. We complemented our analysis with proteomics-based advanced computational modelling of cardiac energy metabolism. Our calculations revealed an ISG15-dependent preservation of the metabolic capacity in cardiac tissue during CVB3 infection. Functional profiling of mitochondrial respiration in cardiomyocytes and mouse heart tissue by Seahorse technology showed an enhanced oxidative activity in cells with a competent ISG15 system. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that ISG15 controls critical nodes in cardiac metabolism. ISG15 reduces the glucose demand, supports higher ATP production capacity in the heart, despite nutrient shortage in infection, and counteracts cardiac atrophy and dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated cell death machinery and an excessive inflammatory response in Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)-infected myocarditis are hallmarks of an abnormal host response. Complement C4 and C3 are considered the central components of the classical activation pathway and often participate in the response process in the early stages of virus infection. METHODS In our study, we constructed a mouse model of CVB3-related viral myocarditis via intraperitoneal injection of Fer-1 and detected myocarditis and ferroptosis markers in the mouse myocardium. Then, we performed co-IP and protein mass spectrometry analyses to explore which components interact with the ferroptosis gene transferrin receptor (TFRC). Finally, functional experiments were conducted to verify the role of complement components in regulating ferroptosis in CVB3 infection. RESULTS It showed that the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 could alleviate the inflammation in viral myocarditis as well as ferroptosis. Mechanistically, during CVB3 infection, the key factor TFRC was activated and inhibited by Fer-1. Fer-1 effectively prevented the consumption of complement C3 and overload of the complement product C4b. Interestingly, we found that TFRC directly interacts with complement C4, leading to an increase in the product of C4b and a decrease in the downstream complement C3. Functional experiments have also confirmed that regulating the complement C4/C3 pathway can effectively rescue cell ferroptosis caused by CVB3 infection. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we found that ferroptosis occurs through crosstalk with complement C4 in viral myocarditis through interaction with TFRC and that regulating the complement C4/C3 pathway may rescue ferroptosis in CVB3-infected cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Evidence is emerging on the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as regulatory factors in a variety of viral infection processes, but the mechanisms underlying their functions in coxsackievirus group B type3 (CVB3)-induced acute viral myocarditis have not been explicitly delineated. We previously demonstrated that CVB3 infection decreases miRNA-21 expression; however, lncRNAs that regulate the miRNA-21-dependent CVB3 disease process have yet to be identified. To evaluate lncRNAs upstream of miRNA-21, differentially expressed lncRNAs in CVB3-infected mouse hearts were identified by microarray analysis and lncRNA/miRNA-21 interactions were predicted bioinformatically. MEG3 was identified as a candidate miRNA-21-interacting lncRNA upregulated in CVB3-infected mouse hearts. MEG3 expression was verified to be upregulated in HeLa cells 48 h post CVB3 infection and to act as a competitive endogenous RNA of miRNA-21. MEG3 knockdown resulted in the upregulation of miRNA-21, which inhibited CVB3 replication by attenuating P38-MAPK signaling in vitro and in vivo. Knockdown of MEG3 expression before CVB3 infection inhibited viral replication in mouse hearts and alleviated cardiac injury, which improved survival. Furthermore, the knockdown of CREB5, which was predicted bioinformatically to function upstream of MEG3, was demonstrated to decrease MEG3 expression and CVB3 viral replication. This study identifies the function of the lncRNA MEG3/miRNA-21/P38 MAPK axis in the process of CVB3 replication, for which CREB5 could serve as an upstream modulator.

Abstract
Exploring the immune mechanism of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis may provide a promising therapeutic strategy. Here, we investigated the regulatory role of macrophage CAPN4 in the phenotypic transformation of macrophages and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. We found that CAPN4 was the most upregulated subtype of the calpain family in CVB3-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and Raw 264.7 cells after CVB3 infection and was upregulated in cardiac macrophages from CVB3-infected mice. Conditional knockout of CAPN4 (CAPN4flox/flox; LYZ2-Cre, CAPN4-cKO mice) ameliorated inflammation and myocardial injury and improved cardiac function and survival after CVB3 infection. Enrichment analysis revealed that macrophage differentiation and the interleukin signaling pathway were the most predominant biological processes in macrophages after CVB3 infection. We further found that CVB3 infection and the overexpression of CAPN4 promoted macrophage M1 polarization and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, while CAPN4 knockdown reversed these changes. Correspondingly, CAPN4-cKO alleviated CVB3-induced M1 macrophage transformation and NLRP3 expression and moderately increased M2 transformation in vivo. The culture supernatant of CAPN4-overexpressing or CVB3-infected macrophages impaired cardiac fibroblast function and viability. Moreover, macrophage CAPN4 could upregulate C/EBP-homologous protein (chop) expression, which increased proinflammatory cytokine release by activating the phosphorylation of transducer of activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and 3 (STAT3). Overall, these results suggest that CAPN4 increases M1-type and inhibits M2-type macrophage polarization through the chop-STAT1/STAT3 signaling pathway to mediate CVB3-induced myocardial inflammation and injury. CAPN4 may be a novel target for viral myocarditis treatment.

Abstract
The coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is very well known as an epithelial tight junction and cardiac intercalated disc protein; it mediates attachment and infection via the coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) and type 5 adenovirus. Macrophages play important roles in early immunity during viral infections. However, the role of CAR in macrophages is not well studied in relation to CVB3 infection. In this study, the function of CAR was observed in the Raw264.7 mouse macrophage cell line. CAR expression was stimulated by treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). In thioglycollate-induced peritonitis, the peritoneal macrophage was activated and CAR expression was increased. The macrophage-specific CAR conditional knockout mice (KO) were generated from lysozyme Cre mice. The expression of inflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and TNF-α) was attenuated in the KO mice’s peritoneal macrophage after LPS treatment. In addition, the virus was not replicated in CAR-deleted macrophages. The organ virus replication was not significantly different in both wild-type (WT) and KO mice at days three and seven post-infection (p.i). However, the inflammatory M1 polarity genes (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1) were significantly increased, with increased rates of myocarditis in the heart of KO mice compared to those of WT mice. In contrast, type1 interferon (IFN-α and β) was significantly decreased in the heart of KO mice. Serum chemokine CXCL-11 was increased in the KO mice at day three p.i. compared to the WT mice. The attenuation of IFN-α and β in macrophage CAR deletion induced higher levels of CXCL-11 and more increased CD4 and CD8 T cells in KO mice hearts compared to those of WT mice at day seven p.i. These results demonstrate that macrophage-specific CAR deletion increased the macrophage M1 polarity and myocarditis in CVB3 infection. In addition, chemokine CXCL-11 expression was increased, and stimulated CD4 and CD8 T cell activity. Macrophage CAR may be important for the regulation of innate-immunity-induced local inflammation in CVB3 infection.

Abstract
Group B enteroviruses, including coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), can persistently infect cardiac tissue and cause dilated cardiomyopathy. Persistence is linked to 5' terminal deletions of viral genomic RNAs that have been detected together with minor populations of full-length genomes in human infections. In this study, we explored the functions and interactions of the different viral RNA forms found in persistently infected patients and their putative role(s) in pathogenesis. Since enterovirus cardiac pathogenesis is linked to the viral proteinase 2A, we investigated the effect of different terminal genomic RNA deletions on 2A activity. We discovered that 5' terminal deletions in CVB3 genomic RNAs decreased the levels of 2A proteinase activity but could not abrogate it. Using newly generated viral reporters encoding nano-luciferase, we found that 5' terminal deletions resulted in decreased levels of viral protein and RNA synthesis in singly transfected cardiomyocyte cultures. Unexpectedly, when full-length and terminally deleted forms were cotransfected into cardiomyocytes, a cooperative interaction was observed, leading to increased viral RNA and protein production. However, when viral infections were carried out in cells harboring 5' terminally deleted CVB3 RNAs, a decrease in infectious particle production was observed. Our results provide a possible explanation for the necessity of full-length viral genomes during persistent infection, as they would stimulate efficient viral replication compared to that of the deleted genomes alone. To avoid high levels of viral particle production that would trigger cellular immune activation and host cell death, the terminally deleted RNA forms act to limit the production of viral particles, possibly as trans-dominant inhibitors. IMPORTANCE Enteroviruses like coxsackievirus B3 are able to initiate acute infections of cardiac tissue and, in some cases, to establish a long-term persistent infection that can lead to serious disease sequelae, including dilated cardiomyopathy. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of 5' terminally deleted forms of enterovirus RNAs in heart tissues derived from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. These deleted RNAs are found in association with very low levels of full-length enterovirus genomic RNAs, an interaction that may facilitate continued persistence while limiting virus particle production. Even in the absence of detectable infectious virus particle production, these deleted viral RNA forms express viral proteinases at levels capable of causing viral pathology. Our studies provide mechanistic insights into how full-length and deleted forms of enterovirus RNA cooperate to stimulate viral protein and RNA synthesis without stimulating infectious viral particle production. They also highlight the importance of targeting enteroviral proteinases to inhibit viral replication while at the same time limiting the long-term pathologies they trigger.

Abstract
Echoviruses, for which there are currently no approved vaccines or drugs, are responsible for a range of human diseases, for example echovirus 11 (E11) is a major cause of serious neonatal morbidity and mortality. Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, also known as CD55) is an attachment receptor for E11. Here, we report the structure of the complex of E11 and the full-length ectodomain of DAF (short consensus repeats, SCRs, 1-4) at 3.1 Å determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). SCRs 3 and 4 of DAF interact with E11 at the southern rim of the canyon via the VP2 EF and VP3 BC loops. We also observe an unexpected interaction between the N-linked glycan (residue 95 of DAF) and the VP2 BC loop of E11. DAF is a receptor for at least 20 enteroviruses and we classify its binding patterns from reported DAF/virus complexes into two distinct positions and orientations, named as E6 and E11 poses. Whilst 60 DAF molecules can attach to the virion in the E6 pose, no more than 30 can attach to E11 due to steric restrictions. Analysis of the distinct modes of interaction and structure and sequence-based phylogenies suggests that the two modes evolved independently, with the E6 mode likely found earlier.

Abstract
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Coxsackievirus Group B5 (CVB5) is one of the most common herpetic diseases in human infants and children. The pathogenesis of CVB5 remains unknown. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs), as novel noncoding RNAs, have been shown to play a key role in many pathogenic processes in different species; however, their functions during the process of CVB5 infection remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the expression profiles of circRNAs using RNA sequencing technology in CVB5-infected and mock-infected human rhabdomyosarcoma cells (CVB5 virus that had been isolated from clinical specimens). In addition, several differentially expressed circRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR. Moreover, the innate immune responses related to circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction networks were constructed and verified. A total of 5461 circRNAs were identified at different genomic locations in CVB5 infections and controls, of which 235 were differentially expressed. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed circRNAs were principally involved in specific signaling pathways related to ErbB, TNF, and innate immunity. We further predicted that novel_circ_0002006 might act as a molecular sponge for miR-152-3p through the IFN-I pathway to inhibit CVB5 replication, and that novel_circ_0001066 might act as a molecular sponge for miR-29b-3p via the NF-κB pathway and for the inhibition of CVB5 replication. These findings will help to elucidate the biological functions of circRNAs in the progression of CVB5-related HFMD and identify prospective biomarkers and therapeutic targets for this disease.

Abstract
The longevity and reusability of N95-grade filtering facepiece respirators (N95 FFRs) are limited by consecutive donning and disinfection treatments. Herein, we developed stable N97 nanofibrous respirators based on chemically modified surface to enable remarkable filtration characteristics via polarity driven interaction. This was achieved by a thin-film coated polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (TFPNM), giving an overall long-lasting filtration performance with high quality factor at 0.42 Pa-1 (filtration efficiency: over 97 %; pressure drop: around 10 Pa), which is higher than that of the commercial N95 FFRs (0.10-0.41 Pa-1 ) tested with a flow rate of 5 L min-1 and the 0.26 μm NaCl aerosol. A coxsackie B4 virus filtration test demonstrated that TFPNM also had strong virus capture capacity of 97.67 %. As compared with N95 FFRs, the TFPNM was more resistant to a wider variety of disinfection protocols, and the overall filtration characteristics remained N97 standard.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), an enterovirus (EV) in the family of Picornaviridae, is a global human pathogen for which effective antiviral treatments and vaccines are lacking. Previous research demonstrated that EV-D68 downregulated the membrane fusion protein SNAP47 (synaptosome associated protein 47) and SNAP47 promoted EV-D68 replication via regulating autophagy. In the current study, we investigated the interplay between CVB3 and cellular SNAP47 using HEK293T/HeLa cell models. We showed that, upon CVB3 infection, protein levels of SNAP47 decreased independent of the activity of virus-encoded proteinase 3C. We further demonstrated that the depletion of SNAP47 inhibited CVB3 infection, indicating a pro-viral function of SNAP47. Moreover, we found that SNAP47 co-localizes with the autophagy-related protein ATG14 on the cellular membrane fractions together with viral capsid protein VP1, and expression of SNAP47 or ATG14 enhanced VP1 conjugation. Finally, we revealed that disulfide interactions had an important role in strengthening VP1 conjugation. Collectively, our study elucidated a mechanism by which SNAP47 and ATG14 promoted CVB3 propagation through facilitating viral capsid assembly.

Abstract
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) is widely expressed in humans and mice, and is activated by a variety of proteases, including thrombin. Recently, we showed that PAR1 contributes to the innate immune response to viral infection. Mice with a global deficiency of PAR1 expressed lower levels of CXCL10 and had increased Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis compared with control mice. In this study, we determined the effect of cell type-specific deletion of PAR1 in cardiac myocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) on CVB3-induced myocarditis. Mice lacking PAR1 in either CMs or CFs exhibited increased CVB3 genomes, inflammatory infiltrates, macrophages and inflammatory mediators in the heart and increased CVB3-induced myocarditis compared with wild-type controls. Interestingly, PAR1 enhanced poly I:C induction of CXCL10 in rat CFs but not in rat neonatal CMs. Importantly, activation of PAR1 reduced CVB3 replication in murine embryonic fibroblasts and murine embryonic cardiac myocytes. In addition, we showed that PAR1 reduced autophagy in murine embryonic fibroblasts and rat H9c2 cells, which may explain how PAR1 reduces CVB3 replication. These data suggest that PAR1 on CFs protects against CVB3-induced myocarditis by enhancing the anti-viral response whereas PAR1 on both CMs and fibroblasts inhibits viral replication.

Abstract
Enteroviruses, including Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), are pervasive pathogens that cause significant disease, including cardiomyopathies. Unfortunately, no treatments or vaccines are available for infected individuals. We identified the host polyamine pathway as a potential drug target, as inhibiting polyamine biosynthesis significantly reduces enterovirus replication in vitro and in vivo. Here, we show that CVB3 is sensitive to polyamine depletion through the polyamine analog diethylnorspermidine (DENSpm), which enhances polyamine catabolism through induction of polyamine acetylation. We demonstrate that CVB3 acquires resistance to DENSpm via mutation of the 2A protease, which enhances proteolytic activity in the presence of DENSpm. Resistance to DENSpm occurred via mutation of a non-catalytic site mutation and results in decreased fitness. These data demonstrate that potential for targeting polyamine catabolism as an antiviral target as well as highlight a potential mechanism of resistance.

Abstract
The association of members of the enterovirus family with pregnancy complications up to miscarriages is under discussion. Here, infection of two different human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines and iPSC-derived primary germ-layer cells with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was characterized as an in vitro cell culture model for very early human development. Transcriptomic analysis of iPSC lines infected with recombinant CVB3 expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) revealed a reduction in the expression of pluripotency genes besides an enhancement of genes involved in RNA metabolism. The initial distribution of CVB3-EGFP-positive cells within iPSC colonies correlated with the distribution of its receptor coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor (CAR). Application of anti-CAR blocking antibodies supported the requirement of CAR, but not of the co-receptor decay-accelerating factor (DAF) for infection of iPSC lines. Among iPSC-derived germ-layer cells, mesodermal cells were especially vulnerable to CVB3-EGFP infection. Our data implicate further consideration of members of the enterovirus family in the screening program of human pregnancies. Furthermore, iPSCs with their differentiation capacity into cell populations of relevant viral target organs could offer a reliable screening approach for therapeutic intervention and for assessment of organ-specific enterovirus virulence.

Abstract
Viral myocarditis is caused by a viral infection and characterized by the inflammation of the myocardium. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection is one of the most common among the infections caused by this virus. The host's early innate immune response to CVB3 infection particularly depends on the functions of type I interferons (IFNs). In this study, we report that a host microRNA, miR-30a, was upregulated by CVB3 to facilitate its replication. We demonstrated that miR-30a was a potent negative regulator of IFN-I signaling by targeting tripartite motif protein 25 (TRIM25). In addition, we found that TRIM25 overexpression significantly suppressed CVB3 replication, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased viral titer and VP1 protein expression. MiR-30a inhibits the expression of TRIM25 and TRIM25-mediated retinoic acid-inducible gene (RIG)-I ubiquitination to suppress IFN-β activation and production, thereby resulting in the enhancement of CVB3 replication. These results indicate the proviral role of miR-30a in modulating CVB3 infection for the first time. This not only provides a new strategy followed by CVB3 in order to modulate IFN-I-mediated antiviral immune responses by engaging host miR-30a but also improves our understanding of its pathogenesis.

Abstract
C1q/TNF-related protein 9 (CTRP9) is implicated in diverse cardiovascular diseases, but its role in viral myocarditis (VMC) is not well explored. This study is aimed at investigating the role and potential mechanism of CTRP9 in VMC. Herein, we found that the peripheral blood collected from children with VMC had lower CTRP9 levels than that from children who had recovered from VMC. H9c2 cardiomyocytes treated with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) were applied to establish a VMC model in vitro, and the expression of CTRP9 was significantly decreased in CVB3-induced H9c2 cells. The overexpression of CTRP9 attenuated CVB3-induced apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis reactions in H9c2 cells by promoting cell proliferation, reducing the cell apoptosis rate, and inhibiting inflammatory cytokine levels and fibrosis-related gene expression. Moreover, we found that thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) levels were increased in children with VMC, and CTRP9 negatively regulated THBS1 expression by interacting with THBS1. The downregulation of THBS1 inhibited CVB3-induced apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in H9c2 cells. In addition, our mechanistic investigation indicated that the overexpression of THBS1 impaired the inhibitory effect of CTRP9 on CVB3-induced H9c2 cells. The results further revealed that the CVB3-induced NF-κB and TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathways of H9c2 cells were blocked by CTRP9 yet activated by THBS1. In conclusion, CTRP9 protected H9c2 cells from CVB3-induced injury via the NF-κB and TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathways by modulating THBS1.

Abstract
Enteroviruses are suspected to contribute to insulin-producing β cell loss and hyperglycemia-induced diabetes. However, mechanisms are not fully defined. Here, we show that coxsackievirus B type 4 (CVB4) infection in human islet-engrafted mice and in rat insulinoma cells displays loss of unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI) and PDX1, affecting β cell function and identity. Genetic URI ablation in the mouse pancreas causes PDX1 depletion in β cells. Importantly, diabetic PDX1 heterozygous mice overexpressing URI in β cells are more glucose tolerant. Mechanistically, URI loss triggers estrogen receptor nuclear translocation leading to DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression, which induces Pdx1 promoter hypermethylation and silencing. Consequently, demethylating agent procainamide-mediated DNMT1 inhibition reinstates PDX1 expression and protects against diabetes in pancreatic URI-depleted mice . Finally, the β cells of human diabetes patients show correlations between viral protein 1 and URI, PDX1, and DNMT1 levels. URI and DNMT1 expression and PDX1 silencing provide a causal link between enterovirus infection and diabetes. Coxsackievirus B type 4 infection downregulates URI and affects β cell function Genetic URI ablation in mouse pancreas recapitulates diabetes URI controls Pdx1 methylation via ERα-activating DNMT1 Coxsackievirus B type 4, URI, PDX1, and DNMT1 expression correlate in human pancreata

Abstract
Echovirus 30 (E30), a member of the enterovirus B species, is a major cause of viral meningitis, targeting children and adults alike. While it is a frequently isolated enterovirus and the cause of several outbreaks all over the world, surprisingly little is known regarding its entry and replication strategy within cells. In this study, we used E30 strain Bastianni (E30B) generated from an infectious cDNA clone in order to study early entry events during infection in human RD cells. E30B required the newly discovered Fc echovirus receptor (FcRn) for successful infection, but not the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) or decay-accelerating factor (DAF), although an interaction with DAF was observed. Double-stranded RNA replication intermediate was generated between 2 and 3 h postinfection (p.i.), and viral capsid production was initiated between 4 and 5 h p.i. The drugs affecting Rac1 (NSC 23766) and cholesterol (filipin III) compromised infection, whereas bafilomycin A1, dyngo, U-73122, wortmannin, and nocodazole did not, suggesting the virus follows an enterovirus-triggered macropinocytic pathway rather than the clathrin pathway. Colocalization with early endosomes and increased infection due to constitutively active Rab5 expression suggests some overlap and entry to classical early endosomes. Taken together, these results suggest that E30B induces an enterovirus entry pathway, leading to uncoating in early endosomes.IMPORTANCE Echovirus 30 (E30) is a prevalent enterovirus causing regular outbreaks in both children and adults in different parts of the world. It is therefore surprising that relatively little is known of its infectious entry pathway. We set out to generate a cDNA clone and gradient purified the virus in order to study the early entry events in human cells. We have recently studied other enterovirus B group viruses, like echovirus 1 (EV1) and coxsackievirus A9 (CVA9), and found many similarities between those viruses, allowing us to define a so-called "enterovirus entry pathway." Here, E30 is reminiscent of these viruses, for example, by not relying on acidification for infectious entry. However, despite not using the clathrin entry pathway, E30 accumulates in classical early endosomes.

Abstract
Protein modification with ISG15 (ISGylation) represents a major type I IFN-induced antimicrobial system. Common mechanisms of action and species-specific aspects of ISGylation, however, are still ill defined and controversial. We used a multiphasic coxsackievirus B3 (CV) infection model with a first wave resulting in hepatic injury of the liver, followed by a second wave culminating in cardiac damage. This study shows that ISGylation sets nonhematopoietic cells into a resistant state, being indispensable for CV control, which is accomplished by synergistic activity of ISG15 on antiviral IFIT1/3 proteins. Concurrent with altered energy demands, ISG15 also adapts liver metabolism during infection. Shotgun proteomics, in combination with metabolic network modeling, revealed that ISG15 increases the oxidative capacity and promotes gluconeogenesis in liver cells. Cells lacking the activity of the ISG15-specific protease USP18 exhibit increased resistance to clinically relevant CV strains, therefore suggesting that stabilizing ISGylation by inhibiting USP18 could be exploited for CV-associated human pathologies.

Abstract
Enterovirus B (EV-B), a major proportion of the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae, is the causative agent of severe human infectious diseases. Although cellular receptors for coxsackievirus B in EV-B have been identified, receptors mediating virus entry, especially the uncoating process of echovirus and other EV-B remain obscure. Here, we found that human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is the uncoating receptor for major EV-B. FcRn binds to the virus particles in the "canyon" through its FCGRT subunit. By obtaining multiple cryo-electron microscopy structures at different stages of virus entry at atomic or near-atomic resolution, we deciphered the underlying mechanisms of enterovirus attachment and uncoating. These structures revealed that different from the attachment receptor CD55, binding of FcRn to the virions induces efficient release of "pocket factor" under acidic conditions and initiates the conformational changes in viral particle, providing a structural basis for understanding the mechanisms of enterovirus entry.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the predominant pathogen of viral myocarditis. In our previous study, we found that CVB3 caused abnormal lipid accumulation in host cells. However, the underlying mechanisms by which CVB3 disrupts and exploits the host lipid metabolism are not well understood. Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) is the major transcriptional factor in lipogenic genes expression. In this study, we demonstrated that CVB3 infection and nonstructural 2A protein upregulated and activated SREBP1a at the transcriptional level. Deletion analysis of SREBP1a promoter revealed that two regions, -1821/-1490 and -312/+217, in this promoter were both required for its activation by 2A. These promoter regions possessed several binding motifs for transcription factor SP1. Next, we used SP1-specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to confirm that SP1 might be the essential factor in SREBP1a upregulation by 2A. Furthermore, we showed that MEK/ERK pathway was involved in the activation of SREBP1a by 2A and that blocking this signaling pathway with the specific inhibitor U0126 attenuated SREBP1a activation and lipid accumulation by 2A. Finally, we showed that inhibition of SREBP1 with siRNAs attenuated lipid accumulation induced by CVB3 infection and reduced virus replication. Moreover, inhibition of the MEK/ERK pathway also led to reduction of SREBP1a activation, lipid accumulation, and virus replication during CVB3 infection. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CVB3 nonstructural 2A protein activates SREBP1a at the transcription level through a mechanism involving MEK/ERK signaling pathway and SP1 transcription factor, which promotes cellular lipid accumulation and benefits virus replication.IMPORTANCE Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection is the leading cause of viral myocarditis, but effective vaccines and antiviral therapies against CVB3 infection are still lacking. It is important to understand the precise interactions between host and virus for the rational design of effective therapies. During infection, CVB3 disrupts and exploits host lipid metabolism to promote excessive lipid accumulation, which benefits virus replication. SREBP1 is the master regulator of cellular lipid metabolism. Here, we report that one of the viral nonstructural proteins, 2A, upregulates and activates SREBP1a. Furthermore, we find that inhibition of SREBP1 decreases CVB3 virus replication. These results reveal the regulation of SREBP1a expression by 2A and the roles of SREBP1 in lipid accumulation and viral replication during CVB3 infection. Our findings provide a new insight into CVB3 host interactions and inform a potential novel therapeutic target for this important pathogen.

Abstract
Coxsackie B Virus (CBV) infection has been linked to the aetiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and vaccination has been proposed as prophylaxis for disease prevention. Serum neutralising antibodies and the presence of viral protein and RNA in tissues have been common tools to examine this potential disease relationship, whilst the role of anti-CBV cytotoxic T cell responses and their targets have not been studied. To address this knowledge gap, we augmented conventional HLA-binding predictive algorithm-based epitope discovery by cross-referencing epitopes with sites of positive natural selection within the CBV3 viral genome, identified using mixed effects models of evolution. Eight epitopes for the common MHC class I allele HLA-A*0201 occur at sites that appear to be positively selected. Furthermore, such epitopes span the viral genome, indicating that effective anti-viral responses may not be restricted to the capsid region. To assess the spectrum of IFNy responses in non-diabetic subjects and recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients, we stimulated PBMC ex vivo with pools of synthetic peptides based on component-restricted sequences identified in silico. We found responders were more likely to recognize multiple rather than a single CBV peptide pool, indicating that the natural course of infection results in multiple targets for effector memory responses, rather than immunodominant epitopes or viral components. The finding that anti-CBV CD8 T cell immunity is broadly targeted has implications for vaccination strategies and studies on the pathogenesis of CBV-linked diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echovirus (E) 30 (E-30) meningitis is characterized by neuroinflammation involving immune cell pleocytosis at the protective barriers of the central nervous system (CNS). In this context, infection of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), which has been demonstrated to be involved in enteroviral CNS pathogenesis, may affect the tight junction (TJ) and adherens junction (AJ) function and morphology. METHODS We used an in vitro human choroid plexus epithelial (HIBCPP) cell model to investigate the effect of three clinical outbreak strains (13-311, 13-759, and 14-397) isolated in Germany in 2013, and compared them to E-30 Bastianni. Conducting transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), paracellular dextran flux measurement, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blot, and immunofluorescence analysis, we investigated TJ and AJ function and morphology as well as strain-specific E-30 infection patterns. Additionally, transmission electron and focused ion beam microscopy electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) was used to evaluate the mode of leukocyte transmigration. Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses were performed to discriminate potential genetic differences among the outbreak strains. RESULTS We observed a significant strain-dependent decrease in TEER with strains E-30 Bastianni and 13-311, whereas paracellular dextran flux was only affected by E-30 Bastianni. Despite strong similarities among the outbreak strains in replication characteristics and particle distribution, strain 13-311 was the only outbreak isolate revealing comparable disruptive effects on TJ (Zonula Occludens (ZO) 1 and occludin) and AJ (E-cadherin) morphology to E-30 Bastianni. Notwithstanding significant junctional alterations upon E-30 infection, we observed both para- and transcellular leukocyte migration across HIBCPP cells. Complete genome sequencing revealed differences between the strains analyzed, but no explicit correlation with the observed strain-dependent effects on HIBCPP cells was possible. CONCLUSION The findings revealed distinct E-30 strain-specific effects on barrier integrity and junctional morphology. Despite E-30-induced barrier alterations leukocyte trafficking did not exclusively occur via the paracellular route.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of enteroviruses in development of dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis is known. THE AIM To examine the role of chronic enterovirus infections in development of acute stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS Blood samples from 72 patients with acute stroke (study group) and 35 patients without vascular disease (control group) were investigated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for the presence of enterovirus RNA, by using virological method to detect enteroviruses, by ELISA for the levels of IgM and IgG antibodies to enteroviruses. RESULTS The enteroviruses genomes were detected significantly often in the serum of patients with stroke (23,6 ± 5,9%) than in control group (2,9 ± 2,8%). The viruses were isolated and were identified as Coxsackie B (serotypes 2, 3, 4) and ECHO (serotypes 6, 9, 27 (two strains), 29), three strains have not been identified in study group. IgM to enteroviruses were not found in the sera of both groups of patients. IgG to enteroviruses were detected in 17 patients in study group (23,6 ± 5,9%) and 2 patients in control group (5,7 ± 3,9%). The presence of enteroviruses genomes and IgG in sera of patients in control group (11,1 ± 3,7%) indicate the persistence of enteroviruses. The proportion of patients with IgG to enteroviruses in sera is higher in study group (12,5 ± 3,9%) than in control group (5,7 ± 3,9%). CONCLUSION The enterovirus infections play trigger role in development of acute stroke.

Abstract
Study of coxsackievirus B3 strain 28 (CVB3/28) stability using MOPS to improve buffering in the experimental medium revealed that MOPS (3-morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid) increased CVB3 stability and the effect was concentration dependent. Over the pH range 7.0-7.5, virus stability was affected by both pH and MOPS concentration. Computer-simulated molecular docking showed that MOPS can occupy the hydrophobic pocket in capsid protein VP1 where the sulfonic acid head group can form ionic and hydrogen bonds with Arg95 and Asn211 near the pocket opening. The effects of MOPS and hydrogen ion concentrations on the rate of virus decay were modeled by including corresponding parameters in a recent kinetic model. These results indicate that MOPS can directly associate with CVB3 and stabilize the virus, possibly by altering capsid conformational dynamics.

Abstract
We studied the molecular epidemiology of echovirus 30 in sporadic cases of viral encephalitis in Longyan City, Fujian, China, from 2011 to 2014.Specimens of cerebrospinal fluid from patients diagnosed with viral encephalitis or infection of the central nervous system were collected. Viruses were isolated by cell culture. Identification of the echovirus 30 serotype and genetic analyses were undertaken. Amplification of virus protein(VP)-1gene sequences was done by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. A total of 168 strains of enterovirus were isolated in 608 cases from 2011 to 2014,of which 60 strains were echovirus 30.The epidemic "peak" of echovirus 30 was from June to August. The age range of patients was wide, with 65% of cases under 10 years of age. Clinical manifestations were pyrexia, headache and vomiting.Cerebrospinal fluid was clear, and the number of cells and protein was increased. The epidemic strains in Longyan City from 2011 to 2014belonged to the "h" genotype, and there were two transmission chains. Compared with the viral encephalitis strains from the outbreak in Fujian Province in 2011,they were highly homologous, but a new amino-acid variation of VP1 protein I 120 V was found in Longyan City strains from 2014.The viral encephalitis strains from the outbreak in Fujian Province in 2011 were present in Longyan City strains, and two transmission chains are still circulating,but there were new mutations in the virus strains from 2014.Continuous monitoring will aid:(i)early detection of viral variants that may accumulate;(ii)assessment of the risk of epidemics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteroviruses (EVs) have been linked to the pathogenesis of several diseases and there is a collective need to develop improved methods for the detection of these viruses in tissue samples. OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the relative sensitivity of immunohistochemistry (IHC), proteomics, in situ hybridization (ISH) and RT-PCR to detect one common EV, Coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1), in acutely infected human A549 cells in vitro. STUDY DESIGN A549 cells were infected with CVB1 and diluted with uninfected A549 cells to produce a limited dilution series in which the proportion of infected cells ranged from 10(-1) to 10(-8). Analyses were carried out by several laboratories using IHC with different anti-EV antibodies, ISH with both ViewRNA and RNAScope systems, liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC/MRM/MS/MS), and two modifications of RT-PCR. RESULTS RT-PCR was the most sensitive method for EV detection yielding positive signals in the most diluted sample (10(-8)). LC/MRM/MS/MS detected viral peptides at dilutions as high as 10(-7). The sensitivity of IHC depended on the antibody used, and the most sensitive antibody (Dako clone 5D8/1) detected virus proteins at a dilution of 10(-6), while ISH detected the virus at dilutions of 10(-4). CONCLUSIONS All methods were able to detect CVB1 in infected A549 cells. RT-PCR was most sensitive followed by LC/MRM/MS/MS and then IHC. The results from this in vitro survey suggest that all methods are suitable tools for EV detection but that their differential sensitivities need to be considered when interpreting the results from such studies.

Abstract
Targeting nanoparticles to desired intracellular compartments is a major challenge. Integrin-type adhesion receptors are connected to different endocytosis routes in a receptor-specific manner. According to our previous observations, the internalization of an α2β1-integrin-echovirus-1 complex takes place via a macropinocytosis-like mechanism, suggesting that the receptor could be used to target nanoparticles to this specific entry route. Here, silica-based nanoparticles, carrying monoclonal antibodies against the α2β1 integrin as address labels, were synthesized. Studies with flow cytometry, atomic force microscopy and confocal microscopy showed the particles to attach to the cell surface via the α2β1 integrin. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of nanoparticle trafficking inside the cell performed with the BioImageXD software indicated that the particles enter cells via a macropinocytosis-like process and end up in caveolin-1 positive structures. Thus, we suggest that different integrins can guide particles to distinct endocytosis routes and, subsequently, also to specific intracellular compartments. In addition, we show that with the BioImageXD software it is possible to conduct sensitive and complex analyses of the behavior of small fluorescent particles inside cells, using basic confocal microscopy images.

Abstract
Visualization and tracking of viruses without compromising their functionality is crucial in order to understand virus targeting to cells and tissues, and to understand the subsequent subcellular steps leading to virus uncoating and replication. Enteroviruses are important human pathogens causing a vast number of acute infections, and are also suggested to contribute to the development of chronic diseases like type I diabetes. Here, we demonstrate a novel method to target site-specifically the hydrophobic pocket of enteroviruses. A probe, a derivative of Pleconaril, was developed and conjugated to various labels that enabled the visualization of enteroviruses under light and electron microscopes. The probe mildly stabilized the virus particle by increasing the melting temperature by 1-3 degrees, and caused a delay in the uncoating of the virus in the cellular endosomes, but could not however inhibit the receptor binding, cellular entry or infectivity of the virus. The hydrophobic pocket binding moiety of the probe was shown to bind to echovirus 1 particle by STD and tr-NOESY NMR methods. Furthermore, binding to echovirus 1 and Coxsackievirus A9, and to a lesser extent to Coxsackie virus B3 was verified by using a gold nanocluster labeled probe by TEM analysis. Molecular modelling suggested that the probe fits the hydrophobic pockets of EV1 and CVA9, but not of CVB3 as expected, correlating well with the variations in the infectivity and stability of the virus particles. EV1 conjugated to the fluorescent dye labeled probe was efficiently internalized into the cells. The virus-fluorescent probe conjugate accumulated in the cytoplasmic endosomes and caused infection starting from 6 hours onwards. Remarkably, before and during the time of replication, the fluorescent probe was seen to leak from the virus-positive endosomes and thus separate from the capsid proteins that were left in the endosomes. These results suggest that, like the physiological hydrophobic content, the probe may be released upon virus uncoating. Our results collectively thus show that the gold and fluorescently labeled probes may be used to track and visualize the studied enteroviruses during the early phases of infection opening new avenues to follow virus uncoating in cells.

Abstract
Receptor interacting protein kinase-3 (RIP3) is an essential kinase for necroptotic cell death signaling and has been implicated in antiviral cell death signaling upon DNA virus infection. Here, we performed high-throughput RNAi screening and identified RIP3 as a positive regulator of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB) replication in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). RIP3 regulates autophagy, a process utilized by CVB for viral replication factory assembly, and depletion of RIP3 inhibits autophagic flux and leads to the accumulation of autophagosomes and amphisomes. Additionally, later in infection, RIP3 is cleaved by the CVB-encoded cysteine protease 3C(pro), which serves to abrogate RIP3-mediated necrotic signaling and induce a nonnecrotic form of cell death. Taken together, our results show that temporal targeting of RIP3 allows CVB to benefit from its roles in regulating autophagy while inhibiting the induction of necroptotic cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To further understand the role of platelets in the pathogenesis of viral infections we explored platelet interaction with Coxsackieviruses B (CVB) 1 and 3. CVB is a group of viruses that cause the majority of human enterovirus-related viral myocarditis; their receptor (CAR) is expressed on the platelet surface and there is a well-characterized CVB3-induced myocarditis murine model. METHODS Human platelets were infected with CVB1 and 3 and viruses were detected in pellets and in supernatants. C57BL/6J mice with or without platelet depletion were inoculated with CVB3 and peripheral blood and heart samples collected at different times post-infection. RESULTS CVB1 and 3 RNA and a capsid protein were detected in infected platelets. Despite the fact that titration assays in Vero cells showed increasing infectivity titers over time, supernatants and pellets from infected platelets showed similar levels, suggesting that platelets were not susceptible to a replicative infectivity cycle. CVB binding was CAR-independent and resulted in P-selectin and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure. CVB3-infected mice showed a rapid thrombocytopenia that correlated with an increase in platelet PS exposure and platelet-leukocyte aggregates without modification of platelet P-selectin expression or von Willebrand factor levels. Mortality, viremia, heart viral titers and myocarditis were significantly higher in platelet-depleted than normal animals. Type I IFN levels were not changed but IgG levels were lower in infected and platelet-depleted mice. CONCLUSIONS Our data reveal that platelets play a critical role in host survival and immune response against CVB3 infection.

Abstract
Intercalated disks (ICDs) are substantial connections maintaining cardiac structures and mediating signal communications among cardiomyocytes. Deficiency in ICD components such as desmosomes, fascia adherens and gap junctions leads to heart dysfunction. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection induces cardiac failure but its pathogenic effect on ICDs is unclear. Here we show that CVB3-induced miR-21 expression affects ICD structure, i.e., upregulated miR-21 targets YOD1, a deubiquitinating enzyme, to enhance the K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of desmin, resulting in disruption of desmosomes. Inhibition of miR-21 preserves desmin during CVB3 infection. Treatment with proteasome inhibitors blocks miR-21-mediated desmin degradation. Transfection of miR-21 or knockdown of YOD1 triggers co-localization of desmin with proteasomes. We also identified K108 and K406 as important sites for desmin ubiquintination and degradation. In addition, miR-21 directly targets vinculin, leading to disturbed fascia adherens evidenced by the suppression and disorientation of pan-cadherin and α-E-catenin proteins, two fascia adherens-components. Our findings suggest a new mechanism of miR-21 in modulating cell-cell interactions of cardiomyocytes during CVB3 infection. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is one of most common causes of heart inflammation and failure. However, the mechanism by which CVB3 induces cardiac damage has not been fully elucidated. Particularly, the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs), a family of small RNAs controlling the progression of a wide range of diseases, in CVB3 infection is still unclear. These small RNAs are essential to understand the CVB3-caused heart muscle cell injury and have great potential to serve therapeutic purposes. Here, we systematically analyzed the miRNA changes during CVB3 infection and found that miR-21 is increased by viral infection. We further demonstrated that the CVB3-induced miR-21 triggers heart muscle cell damage by interfering with the cell-cell interactions. miR-21 suppresses the levels of components in cell-cell interactions by either promoting the degradation of those proteins or directly inhibiting the protein production. Inhibition of miR-21 can reduce the host injury caused by CVB3 infection. Our findings will shed new lights on the pathogenesis of CVB3-induced heart failure.

Abstract
Infection of mammalian cells by picornaviruses results in the nucleocytoplasmic redistribution of certain host cell proteins. These viruses interfere with import-export pathways, allowing for the cytoplasmic accumulation of nuclear proteins that are then available to function in viral processes. We recently described the cytoplasmic relocalization of cellular splicing factor SRp20 during poliovirus infection. SRp20 is an important internal ribosome entry site (IRES) trans-acting factor (ITAF) for poliovirus IRES-mediated translation; however, it is not known whether other picornaviruses utilize SRp20 as an ITAF and direct its cytoplasmic relocalization. Also, the mechanism by which poliovirus directs the accumulation of SRp20 in the cytoplasm of the infected cell is currently unknown. Work described in this report demonstrated that infection by another picornavirus (coxsackievirus B3) causes SRp20 to relocalize from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of HeLa cells, similar to poliovirus infection; however, SRp20 is relocalized to a somewhat lesser extent in the cytoplasm of HeLa cells during infection by yet another picornavirus (human rhinovirus 16). We show that expression of poliovirus 2A proteinase is sufficient to cause the nucleocytoplasmic redistribution of SRp20. Following expression of poliovirus 2A proteinase in HeLa cells, we detect cleavage of specific nuclear pore proteins known to be cleaved during poliovirus infection. We also find that expression of human rhinovirus 16 2A proteinase alone can cause efficient cytoplasmic relocalization of SRp20, despite the lower levels of SRp20 relocalization observed during rhinovirus infection compared to poliovirus. Taken together, these results further define the mechanism of SRp20 cellular redistribution during picornavirus infections, and they provide additional insight into some of the differences observed between human rhinovirus and other enterovirus infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echovirus 30 (Echo30) is one of the most frequently identified human enteroviruses (EVs) causing aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. However the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of Echo30 infection with significant clinical outcomes is not completely understood. The aim of this investigation is to illustrate molecular pathologic alteration in neuronal cells induced by Echo30 infection using clinical isolate from young patient with neurologic involvement. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To characterize the neuronal cellular response to Echo30 infection, we performed a proteomic analysis based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and MALDI-TOF/TOF Mass Spectrophotometric (MS) analysis. We identified significant alteration of several protein expression levels in Echo30-infected SK-N-SH cells. Among these proteins, we focused on an outstanding up-regulation of Triple functional domain (TRIO) in Echo30-infected SK-N-SH cells. Generally, TRIO acts as a key component in the regulation of axon guidance and cell migration. In this study, we determined that TRIO plays a role in the novel pathways in Echo30 induced neuronal cell death. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Our finding shows that TRIO plays a critical role in neuronal cell death by Echo30 infection. Echo30 infection activates TRIO-guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) domains (GEFD2) and RhoA signaling in turn. These results suggest that Echo30 infection induced neuronal cell death by activation of the TRIO-RhoA signaling. We expect the regulation of TRIO-RhoA signaling may represent a new therapeutic approach in treating aseptic meningitis and encephalitis induced by Echo30.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B type 3 (CVB3) is one of the major pathogens associated with human heart disease. miRNAs are a class of short, noncoding RNA that can post-transcriptionally modulate gene expression. By comparing the CVB3 genome and miR-342-5p sequences, we found there were potential miR-342-5p targets in the CVB3 genome. To verify the effect of miR-342-5p on CVB3 biosynthesis, HeLa cells were infected with a Renilla luciferase (RLuc)-expressing CVB3 variant (RLuc-CVB3). We observed that miR-342-5p could significantly inhibit the expression of RLuc in infected cells. In HeLa cells infected with an enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-expressing CVB3 variant (EGFP-CVB3), EGFP expression was also significantly inhibited by miR-342-5p. The inhibitory effect of miR-342-5p on EGFP expression in EGFP-CVB3-infected cells could be reversed by transfection with anti-miR-342-5p oligonucleotide (AMO-miR-342-5p). Moreover, RNA and protein biosynthesis in wild-type CVB3 was significantly inhibited by miR-342-5p. By mutating the putative targets of miR-342-5p in the 2C-coding region, a sequence, nt4989-nt5015, was identified as the miR-342-5p target. The conserved nt4989-nt5015 sequences of CVB type 1-5 suggest miR-342-5p may exert its inhibitory effect in other types of coxsackievirus besides CVB3. Western blotting indicated that miR-342-5p could indeed suppress protein expression in CVB type 1 and 5. There was a moderate abundance of miR-342-5p in the gut, heart, and brain of Balb/c mice, suggesting that miR-342-5p may interact with CVB3 in vivo. Taken together, these results indicate that miR-342-5p can inhibit CVB3 biosynthesis by targeting its 2C-coding region and therefore may be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of CVB3 infection.

Abstract
The interaction between echovirus 11 strain 207 (EV11-207) and decay-accelerating factor (DAF or CD55) at the apical surface of polarized Caco-2 cells results in rapid transport of the virus to tight junctions and in its subsequent uptake. A virus mutant (EV11-207R) which differs at 6 amino acids and whose affinity for DAF is apparently significantly lower remains at the apical surface, from where its uptake occurs. Binding of EV11-207 to DAF and its transport to tight junctions result in a loss of function of the junctions. In contrast, the mutant virus EV11-207R is not transferred to tight junctions, nor does it impair the integrity of these junctions. Cholesterol depletion from the apical membrane leads to DAF aggregation and, presumably, internalization and inhibits infection by EV11-207. However, infection by EV11-207R is significantly less sensitive to cholesterol depletion than infection by EV11-207, confirming the DAF requirement for EV11-207, but not EV11-207R, to infect cells. These data strongly indicate that in the case of infection of polarized epithelial cells by echovirus 11, DAF binding appears be a key determinant in the choice of entry pathway, at least in cell culture.

Abstract
The rise in type 1 diabetes (T1D) incidence in recent decades is probably related to modifications in environmental factors. Viruses are among the putative environmental triggers of T1D. The mechanisms regulating beta cell responses to viruses, however, remain to be defined. We have presently clarified the signaling pathways leading to beta cell apoptosis following exposure to the viral mimetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and a diabetogenic enterovirus (Coxsackievirus B5). Internal dsRNA induces cell death via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. In this process, activation of the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) promotes eIF2α phosphorylation and protein synthesis inhibition, leading to downregulation of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1). Mcl-1 decrease results in the release of the BH3-only protein Bim, which activates the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Indeed, Bim knockdown prevented both dsRNA- and Coxsackievirus B5-induced beta cell death, and counteracted the proapoptotic effects of Mcl-1 silencing. These observations indicate that the balance between Mcl-1 and Bim is a key factor regulating beta cell survival during diabetogenic viral infections.

Abstract
The Enterovirus genus encompasses several species and various serotypes, like coxsackievirus-B1 (CV-B1) to CV-B6, and many variants. The role of these viruses, especially CV-B4, in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is strongly suspected. It has been reported that antibodies directed towards the region of amino acids 11-30 of the VP4 capsid protein enhance the infection of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CV-B4. In order to predict the inter- and intra-serotype specificity of the region 11-30 of CV-B4 VP4, 362 available protein sequences of CV-B1 to -B6, CV-A9, and swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV) have been aligned and levels of homology have been calculated. Serine residue substitutions in this region of VP4 were observed without predictable subsequent modification of conformation or charge. The amino acids 16-24 region was the most variable. The sequence of amino acids 16-24 of the CV-B4E2 VP4 protein was highly homologous to those of other CV-B4 (64.4%) whereas there was no homology with CV-B3 and B5 and very low levels of homology with CV-B1 and B2 (3.3% and 9.9%, respectively). In conclusion, the bioinformatic analysis suggests that the region 16-24 of the VP4 capsid protein is the feature of the specificity of the target of infection-enhancing antibodies directed towards CV-B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the possibility of short interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibiting Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection in vitro, and discover the mechanism initially. METHODS We obtained proper effective dosage of siRNA by observing cytopathic effect (CPE). Estimate its antiviral activities and its pathway of siRNA by Western Blot assay and RT-PCR. RESULTS Results showed that siRNA-3753 can be effectively transfected into HeLa cells, we can achieve a high transfection efficiency up to 98.77% and its effect can last for 48 h stably in cells. 0.6 micromol/L siRNA-3753 got a high inhibiting effect of virus and didn't show any toxicity to cells. So we consider this concentration as the experimental concentration. siRNA-3753 can debase virus reproduction. The antiviral effect is sequence-specific and is not attributable to either interferon or the interferon response effectors protein kinase R (PKR). CONCLUSION The data confirmed that siRNA can effectively inhibit CVB3 infection in vitro, its antivirus effect was gained from specific debase of virus genome.

Abstract
The intracellular distribution of swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV) proteins and the induced reorganization of endomembranes in IBRS-2 cells were analyzed. Fluorescence to new SVDV capsids appeared first upon infection, concentrated in perinuclear circular structures and colocalized to dsRNA. As in foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-infected cells, a vesicular pattern was predominantly found in later stages of SVDV capsid morphogenesis that colocalized with those of non-structural proteins 2C, 2BC and 3A. These results suggest that assembly of capsid proteins is associated to the replication complex. Confocal microscopy showed a decreased fluorescence to ER markers (calreticulin and protein disulfide isomerase), and disorganization of cis-Golgi gp74 and trans-Golgi caveolin-1 markers in SVDV- and FMDV-, but not in vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-infected cells. Electron microscopy of SVDV-infected cells at an early stage of infection revealed fragmented ER cisternae with expanded lumen and accumulation of large Golgi vesicles, suggesting alterations of vesicle traffic through Golgi compartments. At this early stage, FMDV induced different patterns of ER fragmentation and Golgi alterations. At later stages of SVDV cytopathology, cells showed a completely vacuolated cytoplasm containing vesicles of different sizes. Cell treatment with brefeldin A, which disrupts the Golgi complex, reduced SVDV (approximately 5 log) and VSV (approximately 4 log) titers, but did not affect FMDV growth. Thus, three viruses, which share target tissues and clinical signs in natural hosts, induce different intracellular effects in cultured cells.

Abstract
The lengthy 5' nontranslated region of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) forms a highly ordered secondary structure containing an internal ribosome entry segment (IRES), which plays an important role in controlling viral translation and pathogenesis. The stem-loop V (SL-V) of this IRES contains a large lateral bulge loop which encompasses two conserved GNRA motifs. In this study, we analyzed the effects of point mutations within the GNRA motifs of the CVB3 IRES. We characterized in vitro virus production and translation efficiency and we tested in vivo virulence of two CVB3 mutants produced by site-directed mutagenesis. The GNAA1 and GNAA2 RNAs displayed decreased translation initiation efficiency when translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. This translation defect was correlated with reduced yields of infectious virus particles in HeLa cells in comparison with the wild type. When inoculated orally into Swiss mice, both mutant viruses were avirulent and caused neither inflammation nor necrosis in hearts. These results highlight the important role of the GNRA motifs within the SL-V of the IRES of CVB3, in directing translation initiation.

Abstract
Many entero-, parecho-, and rhinoviruses use immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors that bind into the viral canyon and are required to initiate viral uncoating during infection. However, some of these viruses use an alternative or additional receptor that binds outside the canyon. Both the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR), an Ig-like molecule that binds into the viral canyon, and decay-accelerating factor (DAF) have been identified as cellular receptors for coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). A cryoelectron microscopy reconstruction of a variant of CVB3 complexed with DAF shows full occupancy of the DAF receptor in each of 60 binding sites. The DAF molecule bridges the canyon, blocking the CAR binding site and causing the two receptors to compete with one another. The binding site of DAF on CVB3 differs from the binding site of DAF on the surface of echoviruses, suggesting independent evolutionary processes.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a positive, single-stranded RNA virus. The secondary structure of the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of CVB3 RNA consists of three stem-loops and is followed by a poly(A) tail sequence. These stem-loop structures have been suggested to participate in the regulation of viral replication through interaction with cellular proteins that are yet to be identified. In this study, by competitive UV cross-linking using mutated 3'UTR probes we have demonstrated that the poly(A) tail is essential for promoting HeLa cell protein interactions with the 3'UTR because deletion of this sequence abolished most of the protein interactions. Unexpectedly, mutations that disrupted the tertiary loop-loop interactions without affecting the stem-loops did not apparently affect these protein interactions, indicating that secondary structure rather than the high-order structure may play a major role in recruiting these RNA binding proteins. Among the observed 3'UTR RNA binding proteins, we have confirmed a 52 kDa protein as the human La autoantigen by using purified recombinant protein and a polyclonal La antibody. This protein can interact with both the 3' and 5'UTRs independently of the poly(A) tail. Further analysis by two-stage UV cross-linking, we found that the 3' and 5'UTR sequences may share the same binding site on the La protein.

Abstract
Enteroviruses, such as the coxsackievirus (CV) group, have been linked to the induction of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Virus tropism and tissue access are modulated by endothelial cells. To examine the susceptibility of microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) derived from pancreatic islets to infection with CV group B (CVB), purified cultured human islet MECs were infected with CVB-4 strain, and the immunological phenotype of the infected cells was analyzed. CVB-4 persistently infected the islet MECs, which expressed the CV receptors human coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (HCAR) and decay accelerating factor (DAF) and maintained EC characteristics, without overt cytopathic effects. CVB-4 infection transiently up-regulated expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 and increased production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-6, and chemokines IL-8 and lymphotactin, as well as IFN-alpha. Mononuclear cell adhesion to CVB infected monolayers was increased, compared to uninfected monolayers. Moreover, infection up-regulated the viral receptors HCAR and DAF and coreceptor alpha(v)beta3 integrin on islet MECs, while down-regulating expression of HCAR on human aortic endothelial cells, indicating potential tissue-specific influence on the pathological outcome of infection. These results provide evidence that islet MECs are natural targets and reservoirs for persistent CVB infection resulting in acute endothelial cell activation by virus, which may contribute to selective recruitment of subsets of leukocytes during inflammatory immune responses, such as insulitis in type 1 diabetes.

The 3A protein of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a small membrane protein that forms homodimers, inhibits endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi complex transport. Recently, we described the underlying mechanism by showing that the CVB3 3A protein binds to and inhibits the function of GBF1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1), thereby interfering with Arf1-mediated COP-I recruitment. This study was undertaken to gain more insight into the molecular determinants underlying the interaction between 3A and GBF1. Here we show that 3A mutants that have lost the ability to dimerize are no longer able to bind to GBF1 and trap it on membranes. Moreover, we identify a conserved region in the N terminus of 3A that is crucial for GBF1 binding but not for 3A dimerization. Analysis of the binding domain in GBF1 showed that the extreme N terminus, the dimerization/cyclophilin binding domain, and the homology upstream of Sec7 domain are required for the interaction with 3A. In contrast to that of full-length GBF1, overexpression of a GBF1 mutant lacking its extreme N terminus failed to rescue the effects of 3A. Together, these data provide insight into the molecular requirements of the interaction between 3A and GBF1.

Abstract
Picornaviruses carry a small number of proteins with diverse functions that subvert and exploit the host cell. We have previously shown that three coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) proteins (2B, 2BC, and 3A) target the Golgi complex and inhibit protein transit. Here we investigate these effects in more detail and evaluate the distribution of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which are critical mediators of the CD8(+) T-cell response. We report that concomitant with viral protein synthesis, MHC class I surface expression is rapidly downregulated during infection. However, this phenomenon may not result solely from inhibition of anterograde trafficking; we propose a new mechanism whereby the CVB3 2B and 2BC proteins upregulate the internalization of MHC class I (and possibly other surface proteins), perhaps by focusing of endocytic vesicles at the Golgi complex. Thus, our findings indicate that CVB3 carries at least three nonstructural proteins that directionally complement one another; 3A disrupts the Golgi complex to inhibit anterograde transport, while 2B and/or 2BC upregulates endocytosis, rapidly removing proteins from the cell surface. Taken together, these effects may render CVB3-infected cells invisible to CD8(+) T cells and untouchable by many antiviral effector molecules. This has important implications for immune evasion by CVB3.

Abstract
The domain V within the internal ribosome entry segment (IRES) of poliovirus (PV) is expected to be important in its own neurovirulence because it contains an attenuating mutation in each of the Sabin vaccine strains. In this study, we try to find out if the results observed in the case of Sabin vaccine strains of PV can be extrapolated to another virus belonging to the same genus of enteroviruses but with a different tropism. To test this hypothesis, we used the coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), known to be the most common causal agent of viral myocarditis. The introduction of the three PV Sabin-like mutations in the equivalent positions (nucleotides 484, 485, and 473) to the domain V of the CVB3 IRES results in significant reduced viral titer of the Sabin3-like mutant (Sab3-like) but not on those of Sab1- and Sab2-like mutants. This low titer was correlated with poor translation efficiency in vitro when all mutants were translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. However, elucidation by biochemical probing of the secondary structure of the entire domain V of the IRES of Sabin-like mutants reveals no distinct profiles in comparison with the wild-type counterpart. Prediction of secondary structure by MFOLD program indicates a structural perturbation of the stem containing the Sab3-like mutation, suggesting that specific protein-viral RNA interactions are disrupted, preventing efficient viral translation.

Abstract
Despite replicating to very high titers, coxsackieviruses do not elicit strong CD8 T-cell responses, perhaps because antigen presentation is inhibited by virus-induced disruption of host protein trafficking. Herein, we evaluated the effects of three viral nonstructural proteins (2B, 2BC, and 3A) on intracellular trafficking. All three of these proteins inhibited secretion, to various degrees, and directly associated with the Golgi complex, causing trafficking proteins to accumulate in this compartment. The 3A protein almost completely ablated trafficking and secretion, by moving rapidly to the Golgi, and causing its disruption. Using an alanine-scanning 3A mutant, we show that Golgi targeting and disruption can be uncoupled. Thus, coxsackieviruses rely on the combined effects of several gene products that target a single cellular organelle to successfully block protein secretion during an infection. These findings have implications for viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Recently, it was demonstrated that the coxsackievirus B3 variant PD (CVB3 PD) is able to infect coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR)-lacking cells by using heparan sulfates (HS) as additional receptors (A. E. Zautner, U. Korner, A. Henke, C. Badorff, and M. Schmidtke, J. Virol. 77:10071-10077, 2003). For this study, competition experiments with growth factors binding to known HS sequences as well as with specifically desulfated heparins were performed with Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) to determine the structural requirements of HS for interaction with CVB3. Hepatocyte growth factor interacting with HS sequences containing [IdUA-GlcNSO(3)(6OSO(3))](n), but not basic fibroblast growth factor binding to [HexUA-GlcNSO(3)-HexUA-GlcNSO(3)-IdUA(2OSO(3))](n), was shown to compete effectively with CVB3 PD for cell surface HS. Whereas unmodified heparin and 2-O-desulfated heparin strongly inhibited the CVB3 PD-induced cytopathic effect, the antiviral activity was markedly reduced after N-, O- and 6-O-desulfation of heparin. Taken together, these results indicate that 6-O- and N-sulfation of GlcNAc of HS is crucial for HS interaction with CVB3 PD and that the disaccharide [IdUA-GlcNSO(3)(6OSO(3))](n) is involved in viral binding. Results from experiments with various inhibitors of endocytic pathways suggest that HS-mediated virus internalization is pH dependent. Despite the fact that CVB3 PD initiates infection about four times slower by making use of HS as a receptor than by using CAR, the time required for a complete viral life cycle in Chinese hamster ovary cells was independent of the utilized receptor.
