Membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH) family member proteins are RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligases that are known to downregulate cellular transmembrane proteins. MARCH8 is a novel antiviral factor that inhibits HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein and vesicular stomatitis virus G by downregulating these envelope glycoproteins from the cell surface, resulting in their reduced incorporation into virions. More recently, we have found that MARCH8 reduces viral infectivity via two different mechanisms. Additionally, several groups have reported further antiviral or virus-supportive functions of the MARCH8 protein and its other cellular mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms by which MARCH8 can regulate cellular homeostasis and inhibit and occasionally support enveloped virus infection.

Numerous host factors function as intrinsic antiviral effectors to attenuate viral replication. MARCH8 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that has been identified as a host restriction factor that inhibits the replication of various viruses. This study elucidated the mechanism by which MARCH8 restricts respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication through selective degradation of the viral small hydrophobic (SH) protein.

We previously reported that Tim-3, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, inhibits MHC-II expression, but the molecular mechanisms involved and the implications for antiviral immunity remain to be determined. Here, we found that during H1N1 infection, Tim-3 inhibits MHC-II expression in macrophages/microglia in vitro. Tim-3 interacts with MHC-II via its intracellular tail and induces proteasomal dependent degradation of MHC-II.

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy serves as the standard of care for individuals with advanced stages of gastric cancer. Nevertheless, the emergence of chemoresistance in GC has detrimental impacts on prognosis, yet the underlying mechanisms governing this phenomenon remain elusive. Level of mitophagy and ferroptosis of GC cells were detected by fluorescence, flow cytometry, GSH, MDA, Fe assays, and to explore the specific molecular mechanisms between NPR1 and cisplatin resistance by performing western blot and coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays.

NLRP12, a member of the NLR family, has been shown to exert a vital function in orchestrating immune responses. Here, using the immunosuppressive porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) as a model, the role of NLRP12 in virus infection was deciphered. We demonstrated that overexpression of NLRP12 significantly restrained PRRSV replication, while NLRP12 silencing resulted in increased viral titer.

IL-7 is a cytokine produced by stromal cells, which binds to IL-7Rα and plays an important role for homeostasis of T lymphocytes. Excessive activities of IL-7-triggered signaling pathways causes autoimmune diseases. How IL-7-triggered signaling and immune effects are regulated is not fully understood.
