Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is characterized by the immune suppression of infected birds. The molecular mechanism by which IBD virus (IBDV) suppresses the host immune system remains to be elucidated. The tumor suppressor protein p53 can inhibit the replication of various viruses, but its effect on IBDV remains unknown. This study established an in vitro infection model based on DF-1 cells (chicken embryo fibroblast cell line) to investigate the antiviral effects of chicken p53 (chp53) on IBDV infection. The expression level and activity of chp53 remarkably increased in IBDV-infected DF-1 cells. The overexpression of chp53 inhibited IBDV replication and upregulated the expression of multiple chicken antiviral innate immunity genes (IPS-1, IRF3, PKR, OAS, and Mx), whereas the suppression of chp53 led to the opposite effect. This result indicates that chp53 activates the antiviral innate immune response of chickens to IBDV infection. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that gga-miR-2127 targeted the 3'UTR of chp53. qRT-PCR and western blot revealed that gga-miR-2127 overexpression in DF-1 cells not only downregulated the expression levels of chp53 and of the antiviral innate immunity genes in chickens but also promoted IBDV replication. Our results suggest that gga-miR-2127 downregulates chp53 mRNA translation by targeting its 3'UTR and attenuates chp53-mediated antiviral innate immune response against IBDV.

Histone deacetylase HDAC6 has been implicated in regulating antiviral innate immunity. However, its precise function in response to DNA virus infection remains elusive. Herein, we find that HDAC6 deficiency promotes the activation of cGAS-STING signaling and type I interferon (IFN) production, both in vitro and in vivo, resulting in a decrease in HSV-1 infection.

Some individuals, even when heavily exposed to an infectious tuberculosis patient, do not develop a specific T-cell response as measured by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). This could be explained by an IFN-γ-independent adaptive immune response, or an effective innate host response clearing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) without adaptive immunity. In heavily exposed Indonesian tuberculosis household contacts (n = 1347), a persistently IGRA negative status was associated with presence of a BCG scar, and - especially among those with a BCG scar - with altered innate immune cells dynamics, higher heterologous (Escherichia coli-induced) proinflammatory cytokine production, and higher inflammatory proteins in the IGRA mitogen tube.

The mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is a pivotal adaptor in the antiviral innate immune signaling pathway and plays a crucial role in the activation of antiviral defences. This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted functions of MAVS, spanning from its integral role in the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) pathway to its emerging roles in tumor biology and autoimmune diseases. We discuss the structural and functional aspects of MAVS, its activation mechanisms, and the intricate regulatory networks that govern its activity.

Tomato is an important crop worldwide, but groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) often hampers its growth. This study investigates the antiviral potential of bacterial endophytes, including CNEB54, CNEB4, CNEB26, and BAVE5 against GBNV, as well as their ability to enhance immunity and growth in tomato. All four bacterial isolates demonstrated a significant delay in GBNV symptom development 10 days post-inoculation, with disease incidence ranging from 18% to 36% compared to 84% in control.

Emerging tick-borne orthonairovirus infections pose a growing global concern, with limited understanding of the viral ovarian tumor-like cysteine proteases (vOTUs) encoded by novel orthonairoviruses. These vOTUs, a group of deubiquinylases (DUBs), disrupt the innate immune response. Yezo virus (YEZV), a recently discovered pathogenic orthonairovirus, was first reported in Japan in 2021.
