Porcine Fc gamma receptor IIb (FcγRIIb) has been cloned and characterized for many years. However, the role of FcγRIIb in innate antiviral response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection has not yet been well investigated. In current study, our results showed that specific activation of FcγRIIb in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) significantly enhanced the production of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and significantly repressed the production of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). In addition, our results showed that specific activation of FcγRIIb in PAMs cells in PRRSV infection not only significantly increased the production of IFN-α and IFN-γ, but also significantly decreased the production of TGF-β1, and significantly inhibited PRRSV replication level. In summary, our studies indicated that FcγRIIb signaling up-regulated the production of IFN-α and IFN-γ in PAMs cells in vitro, in response to PRRSV infection.

Mitochondria, recognized as the "powerhouse" of cells, play a vital role in generating cellular energy through dynamic processes such as fission and fusion. Viruses have evolved mechanisms to hijack mitochondrial function for their survival and proliferation. Here, we report that infection with the swine arterivirus porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), manipulates mitochondria calcium ions (Ca2+) to induce mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, thereby reprogramming cellular energy metabolism to facilitate its own replication.

Multiple porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) subtypes coinfect numerous pig farms in China, and commercial PRRSV vaccines offer limited cross-protection against heterologous strains. Our previous research confirmed that a PRRSV lineage 1 branch attenuated live vaccine (SD-R) provides cross-protection against HP-PRRSV, NADC30-like PRRSV and NADC34-like PRRSV. HP-PRRSV has undergone significant genetic variation following nearly two decades of evolution and has transformed into a subtype referred to as HP-like PRRSV, which also exhibits high pathogenicity.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a viral infectious disease that can cause infection in pigs of different ages. The condition known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome poses a serious risk to the world's pig business and results in significant financial losses. Fuzhengjiedu San (FZJDS) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound, the main components include:Radix Isatidis, Radix Astragali and Herba Epimedii.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by the highly variable PRRS virus (PRRSV), presents a significant challenge to the swine industry due to its pathogenic and economic burden. The virus evades host immune responses, particularly interferon (IFN) signaling, through various viral mechanisms. Traditional vaccines have shown variable efficacy in the field, prompting the exploration of novel vaccination strategies.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a highly contagious swine pathogen, causing respiratory problems in piglets and reproductive failure in sows. Palmitoylation, catalyzed by zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys (ZDHHC) domain-containing palmitoyl acyltransferases, plays intricate roles in virus infection. However, whether palmitoylation regulates PRRSV replication is incompletely understood.
