Objective: To reveal the genetic characteristic of Coxsackie virus A16 (CVA16) strains isolated during an epidemic of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) in Shanghai in 2002.
Methods: CVA16 strains were isolated from the patients of HFMD during the epidemic in Shanghai in 2002. The VP1 coding gene of CVA16 strains was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced. The homology and phylogenetic analyses were done between the 7 isolates and other CVA16 strains downloaded from Genbank, based on the sequence of VP1 gene.
Results: 7 CVA16 strains were isolated from the patients of HFMD in Shanghai, which belonged to different lineages of genotype B. Among them, except for SH-18-CHN02 strain in lineage 1, other CVA16 strains were all in lineage 2. The homology of nucleotide and amino acid of 7 CVA16 strains were 88.8%-99.7% and 99.3%-100% respectively.
Conclusions: 7 CVA16 strains in this study were all genotype B. There were some variations compared with the other CVA16 strains isolated in China before. It suggested that CVA16 strains might have spread for a long time in China, which belonged to several different transmissions. To reveal the genotype and genetic characteristic of CVA16 prevalent in China, the surveillance of CVA16 should be strengthened to get more molecular epidemiologic data.

Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway by cytosolic DNA leads to the activation of the transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Although many viruses produce proteins that inhibit IRF3-dependent antiviral responses, some viruses produce proteins that inhibit STING-induced NF-κB activation without blocking IRF3 activation. Here, we found that STING-activated, NF-κB-dependent, and IRF3-independent innate immunity inhibited the replication of the DNA virus herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the RNA virus coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16), and the retrovirus HIV-1.

Unlabelled: The KREMEN1 (KRM1) protein is a cellular receptor for multiple enteroviruses that cause hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), including coxsackievirus CVA2, CVA3, CVA4, CVA5, CVA6, CVA10, and CVA12. The molecular basis for the broad recognition of these viruses by the KRM1 receptor remains unclear. Here, we report the indispensable role of the completely conserved VP2 capsid protein residue K140 (designated K2140) in mediating receptor recognition and infection by CVA10 and other KRM1-dependent enteroviruses.

Background: The hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) was caused by species of Enterovirus A and Enterovirus B in the Asian-Pacific region. Broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that can bind multiple serotypes of enteroviruses have gradually become a research hotspot in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of HFMD.
Methods: In this study, a mAb 1H4 was obtained using monoclonal antibody technology by immunizing purified virus particles of Coxsackievirus A5 (CV-A5).

Article Synopsis
- Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) is a key cause of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease, and this study analyzed 287 genome sequences from 1994 to 2019 to explore its evolution.
- The research identified five genotypes (G-a to G-e) of CV-A16, with strains in China primarily falling under G-a and G-c, while also circulating in other genotypes.
- Findings revealed that genomic recombination has significantly influenced CV-A16's evolution, although its structural proteins have remained relatively stable over time.

Article Synopsis
- Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) is a major cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, but developing a vaccine has faced issues like poor virus replication and weak immune responses.
- This study created a DNA-launched infectious clone of CVA16 to improve vaccine efficacy by using a more stable viral strain and better production methods through specific cell lines.
- Additionally, combining inactivated EV-A71 antigens with CVA16 particles could enhance immune response, suggesting a potential bivalent vaccine approach for effective HFMD prevention.
