The role of the autophagy adaptor protein p62/SQSTM1 in Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) replication in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) was investigated. Amounts of JEV RNA and E protein were significantly smaller in p62-deficient cells than wild-type cells at 24 hr post-infection (p.i.). JEV RNA quantitation and viral plaque assays showed significant reductions in viral titers in p62-deficient cell culture fluid. Our results indicate that JEV replication is impaired in p62-deficient MEFs, suggesting that p62 positively regulates JEV replication in host cells.
研究了自噬衔接蛋白p62/SQSTM1在日本脑炎病毒(JEV)于小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞(MEF)中复制过程中的作用。在感染后24小时(p.i.),p62缺陷细胞中的JEV RNA和E蛋白量显著低于野生型细胞。JEV RNA定量和病毒蚀斑试验表明,p62缺陷细胞培养液中的病毒滴度显著降低。我们的结果表明,p62缺陷的MEF中JEV复制受损,提示p62在宿主细胞中正向调节JEV复制。
