Inflammatory responses during virus infection differentially impact the host. Managing inflammatory responses is essential in controlling viral infection and related diseases. Recently, we identified a cellular anti-inflammatory mechanism, RIKA (Repression of IRF3-mediated inhibition of NF-κB activity), which controls viral inflammation and pathogenesis. The RIKA function of IRF3 may be explored further in other inflammatory diseases beyond viral infection.
病毒感染期间的炎症反应会对宿主产生不同的影响。控制炎症反应对于控制病毒感染和相关疾病至关重要。最近,我们发现了一种细胞抗炎机制 RIKA(抑制 IRF3 介导的 NF-κB 活性的抑制作用),它可以控制病毒炎症和发病机制。IRF3 的 RIKA 功能可能在病毒感染以外的其他炎症性疾病中得到进一步探索。
