Background/aim: Viral infection often exacerbates proteinuria, which has been suggested to be due to antiviral responses of podocytes. We examined the effect of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (polyIC) on the expression of retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) in differentiated human podocytes in culture.
Materials And Methods: The podocytes were treated with 2 ng/ml to 500 μg/ml of polyIC for 3 to 36 h, and also transfected with siRNA against RIG-I and MDA5. F-actin staining was performed to assess actin reorganization.
Results: PolyIC induced the expression of RIG-I and MDA5 in dose- and time-dependent manner, accompanied with interferon-β (IFN-β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) up-regulation and actin reorganization. Temporal knockdown of RIG-I by siRNA decreased IFN-β expression, while MDA5 siRNA inhibited IFN-β and IL-6 expression. Actin reorganization was attenuated by RIG-I and MDA5 knockdown.
Conclusion: RIG-I and MDA5 may play a role in the antiviral responses of podocytes.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe mucocutaneous disorders characterized by extensive tissue necrosis; they are often accompanied by severe ocular complications (SOC). The regulatory role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in modulating immune responses in SJS/TEN is not fully understood, particularly in relation to chronic SOC. We explored the expression profiles of specific miRNAs and their potential impact on the regulation of key innate immune genes in patients with SJS/TEN with SOC.

Retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) is an innate immune RNA sensor which can detect viral infection such as influenza viruses. Duck but not chicken has an RIG-I gene. However, the immune responses could be induced in chicken cells by transferring the duck RIG-I transgene.

RIG-I and MDA5 are members of RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) that detect viral RNA within the cytoplasm and subsequently initiate antiviral immune responses. Necroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) executed by mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), which, upon phosphorylation by receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), causes necrotic cell death. To date, no link between RLRs and necroptosis has been observed during bacterial infection.

The picornavirus 3C protein plays a crucial role in viral infection. One of its functions is inhibiting the immune response by cleaving or degrading innate immune-related proteins to promote viral infection. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a multifunctional host protein that plays a key role in various cellular processes, it also participates in viral infection.
