Pathogenic flaviviruses antagonize host cell Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling downstream of interferons α/β. Here, we show that flaviviruses inhibit JAK/STAT signaling induced by a wide range of cytokines beyond interferon, including interleukins. This broad inhibition was mapped to viral nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) binding to cellular heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), resulting in reduced Janus kinase-HSP90 interaction and thus destabilization of unchaperoned JAKs (and other kinase clients) of HSP90 during infection by , West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus. Our studies implicate viral dysregulation of HSP90 and the JAK/STAT pathway as a critical determinant of cytokine signaling control during flavivirus infection.

Background And Objective: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays multifaceted roles in cancer and atherosclerosis. Initially recognized for its role in immune response and inflammation, IL-6 promotes tumor progression via the JAK-STAT and MAP kinase pathways and is associated with poor cancer prognoses. In atherosclerosis, IL-6 contributes to endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Regan Saibisitan (RGS) is a classic prescription used to treat cough, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections in Uygur medicine. It is a granule composed of 12 kinds of medicinal materials. However, the mechanism by which RGS regulates lung disease remains unclear.

Background And Aims: Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP), an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity caused by bacterial infections with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) as a key pathogen, has been associated with systemic effects, potentially influencing distant organs including liver. The liver plays a key role in iron metabolism and immunity by hepcidin.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1 is a key negative regulator of interferon (IFN), interleukin (IL)12, and IL-2 family cytokine signaling through inhibition of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. To investigate the temporal induction of SOCS1 in response to cytokine in live cells and its selective regulation of signaling pathways, we generated a mouse expressing a Halo-tag-SOCS1 fusion protein (Halo-SOCS1) under control of the endogenous promoter. Homozygous Halo-SOCS1 mice () were viable with minor T cell abnormalities, most likely due to enhanced Halo-SOCS1 expression in thymocytes compared with the untagged protein.

Purpose: This study evaluates the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in primary limbal epithelial cells (pLECs) of patients with aniridia.
Methods: Primary human LECs were sampled and isolated from 10 patients with aniridia and 10 healthy donors. The miRNA profile was analyzed using miRNA microarrays.
