Cervical cancer (CC) is known as one of the most common gynecological tumors. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of regulators that have been widely reported in human malignant tumors including CC. On the basis of the data of The Cancer Genome Atlas, lncRNA DDN and PRKAG1 antisense RNA 1 (
DDN‐AS1) that is overexpressed in CC tissues predicted poor prognosis for patients with CC. Moreover,...
The skin-resident dendritic cells (DCs) are thought to be the first defender to encounter incoming viruses and likely play a role in Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) early infection. In the current study, following the demonstration of JEV productive infection in DCs, we revealed that the interaction between JEV envelope glycoprotein (E glycoprotein) and DC-SIGN was important for such infection as...
HSV-2 is the major cause of genital herpes and its infection increases the risk of HIV-1 acquisition and transmission. HSV-2 glycoprotein B together with glycoproteins D, H and L are indispensable for viral entry, of which gB, as a class III fusogen, plays an essential role. HSV-2 gB has seven potential N-linked glycosylation (N-CHO) sites, but their significance has yet to be determined. For the...
Tetherin has been defined as a restriction factor of HIV-1 and several other enveloped viruses. However, the significance of tetherin in viral infection remains to be further addressed. Here, we investigated whether tetherin plays a role in HSV-2 infection. Our study revealed that overexpression of tetherin restricted the release of HSV-2 into the extracellular medium, while knockdown of tetherin...
Glycosylation plays important roles in gp120 structure and HIV-1 immune evasion. In the current study, we introduced deglycosylations into the 24 N-linked glycosylation sites of a R5 env MWS2 cloned from semen and systematically analyzed the impact on infectivity, antigenicity, immunogenicity and sensitivity to entry inhibitors. We found that mutants N156-T158A, N197-S199A, N262-S264A and N410-T412A...
