Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is an important host factor regulating several key processes in many viruses. To evaluate the potential involvement of ANXA2 in the life cycle of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), an RNA interference (RNAi) approach was utilized. Knockdown of ANXA2 did not impair CSFV RNA replication but significantly reduced CSFV production. A comparable reduction of extracellular and intracellular infectivity levels was detected, indicating that ANXA2 might play a role in CSFV assembly rather than in genome replication and virion release. Furthermore, ANXA2 was found to bind CSFV NS5A, an essential replicase component. Amino acids R338, N359, G378 of NS5A were revealed to be pivotal for the ANXA2-NS5A interaction. Substitutions of these amino acids had no effect on viral RNA replication but substantially reduced CSFV production, which might partly be due to these mutations destroying the ANXA2-NS5A interaction. These results suggested that ANXA2 might participate in CSFV production process by binding NS5A.

Unlabelled: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a member of the genus within the family . The enveloped particles contain a plus-stranded RNA genome encoding a single large polyprotein. The processing of this polyprotein undergoes dynamic changes throughout the infection cycle.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) plays a critical role in immune response, human STAT1 as a transcriptional suppressor of autophagy genes and autophagic activity. Classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-infected induce autophagy, leading to immune evasion. However, there are limited reports on the function of porcine STAT1 in autophagy during CSFV infection.

The Hybridization Chain Reaction (HCR) is an isothermal amplification technique widely used for sensing nucleic acids and small molecules. Despite its effectiveness, conventional linear HCR exhibits relatively slow kinetics and insufficient sensitivity. To address this challenge, we have innovatively combined HCR with DNAzyme technology to enhance nucleic acid detection.

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine productive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) both are significant infectious pathogens in pigs and pose great threats to the healthy development of the pig industry. PRRSV infection often reduces the antibody level of the CSFV attenuated vaccine and even leads to immune failure. In order to elucidate the potential mechanism of CSFV proliferation inhibition by PRRSV and screen out drugs that enhance the vaccine immune effect, we conducted experiments in the PAM39 cell line that can simultaneously support both PRRSV and CSFV infection.
