The regulation mechanism of interferon (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes is a very complex procedure and is dependent on cell types and virus species. We observed molecular changes related to anti-viral responses in endothelial cells during Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection. We found that there are two patterns of gene expression, the first pattern of gene expression being characterized by early induction and short action, as in that of type I IFNs,' and the other being characterized by delayed induction and long duration, as those of IRF-7, MxA, and TAP-1/2. Even though there are significant differences in their induction folds, we found that all of IFN-alpha/beta, IRF- 3/7, MxA, and TAP-1/2 mRNA expressions reached the peak when the viral replication was most active, which took place 3 days of post infection (d.p.i.). In addition, an interesting phenomenon was observed; only one gene was highly expressed in paired genes such as IFN-alpha/beta' (3/277-folds), IRF-3/7 (2.2/29.4-folds), and TAP- 1/2 (26.2/6.1-folds). Therefore, IFN-beta, IRF-7, and TAP-1 seem to be more important for the anti-viral response in HTNV infection. MxA was increased to 296-folds at 3 d.p.i. and kept continuing 207-folds until 7 d.p.i.. The above results indicate that IFN-beta works for an early anti-viral response, while IRF7, MxA, and TAP-1 work for prolonged anti-viral response in HTNV infection.

Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection causes severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans and the infectious process can be regulated by autophagy. The phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) protein has antiviral effects and plays a critical role in the autophagy pathway. However, the relationship between PTEN and HTNV infection is not clear and whether PTEN-regulated autophagy involves in HTNV replication is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), caused by Orthohantavirus hantanense, presents with symptoms like fever and kidney issues, but can also involve rare conditions like acute pancreatitis and leukemoid reaction.
- A case study of a 20-year-old male showed severe symptoms that led to hospitalization and a positive HTNV antibody test, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing HFRS when symptoms are atypical.
- The study stresses the need for healthcare professionals to identify unusual HFRS symptoms early and use a comprehensive treatment approach to enhance patient outcomes, especially in areas where the disease is common.

Objectives: The epidemical and clinical features of distinct hantavirus infections exhibit heterogeneity. However, the evolving epidemics and distinct determines of the two hantavirus infections remain uncertain.
Methods: Data on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) cases and genotyping were collected from multiple sources to explore the distribution dynamics of different endemic categories.

Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a serious illness in Eurasia with no specific treatments currently available, highlighting the need for safe and effective vaccines.
- Researchers developed three types of nucleic acid vaccine candidates (mRNA, naked DNA, and DNA in lipid nanoparticles) targeting the Hantaan virus to assess their potential against HFRS.
- All vaccine candidates successfully triggered strong immune responses similar to an existing inactivated vaccine, with the mRNA vaccine showing a robust T-helper 1 cell response and the DNA-LNP producing higher neutralizing antibodies, suggesting that combining these vaccines could enhance their effectiveness.

Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection in humans can cause hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome (HFRS). Understanding host responses to HTNV infection is crucial for developing effective disease intervention strategies. Previous RNA-sequencing studies have investigated the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the post-transcriptional regulation of host genes in response to HTNV infection.
