Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is one of the common pathogens in farms. Platycodon grandiflorus polysaccharide (PGPS) has been reported with a variety of biological activities. Autophagy is one of the vital mechanisms for cells to cope with virus infection, and it may also inhibit or promote virus replication. This study was conducted to investigate the antiviral activity of total PGPS(PGPS against PRV and the role of virus-induced autophagy in the anti-PRV effect of PGPS in PK-15 cells. First, we established an infection model and detected the autophagy induced by PRV in PK-15 cells. Then, the protective effect of PGPS against PRV was evaluated, and the effect of PGPS on PRV replication and virus-induced autophagy were analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot and confocal immunofluorescence. Results showed that PGPS can reduce the PRV replication. PRV infection resulted in the accumulation of autophagosomes, which were inhibited by PGPS. Moreover, PGPS upregulated the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway repressed by PRV infection, whereas rapamycin attenuated the anti-PRV effect of PGPS. These findings suggest that PGPS possess a protective effect against PRV infection and can inhibit PRV replication through relieving PRV-induced autophagy. This article can provide ideas for the development of antiviral drugs.

Unlabelled: Non-enveloped viruses like poliovirus (PV) have evolved the capacity to spread by non-lytic mechanisms. For PV, this mechanism exploits the host secretory autophagy pathway. Virions are selectively incorporated into autophagosomes, double-membrane vesicles that travel to the plasma membrane, fuse, and release single-membrane vesicles containing virions.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is the main cause of death in clinical respiratory virus infection. Liang-Ge-San (LGS), a famous traditional Chinese formula, has been proved to be effective in treating ALI caused by lipopolysaccharide. However, the effects of LGS on ALI induced by viral infections remain uncertain.

Autophagy plays a dual role in coronavirus infection, facilitating the elimination of either proviral components (virophagy) or antiviral factors such as mitochondria (mitophagy), leading to complex mechanisms of immune evasion. Understanding the mechanisms that govern the switch between the autophagic degradation of deleterious or beneficial substrates in coronavirus infection is crucial for developing precise drug targets to treat virus-induced diseases. However, this switch remains largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Influenza virus-induced pneumonia poses a significant health risk, and effective treatments are currently unavailable.
- MoringaA (MA), derived from Moringa seeds, shows promise in inhibiting the influenza virus by activating a specific cellular pathway called the TFEB-autophagic lysosomal pathway.
- The study developed MoringaA-encapsulated exosomes (MA-Exos) that successfully inhibited the virus and promoted autophagy in lung cells, while also revealing that the intervention down-regulates the GCN5 gene, which helps prevent inflammation-related damage.
