A VZV-gE subunit vaccine decorated with mPLA elicits protective cellular immmune responses against varicella-zoster virus.

Herpes zoster is an acute infectious skin disease caused by the reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus, vaccination, such as subunit vaccine with good safety, can effectively prevent shingles through increasing immunity of the body. However, protein antigens are prone to degradation and inactivation, which alone is generally not sufficient to induce potent immune effect. In this study, the liposomal vaccine platform modified with mPLA (TLR4 agonist) was developed to improve the immunogenicity of glycoprotein E (VZV-gE) derived from herpes zoster virus.

Downregulation of FcRn promotes ferroptosis in herpes simplex virus-1-induced lung injury.

Cell Mol Life Sci

January 2025

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Xinxiang Medical University, #601 Jinsui Road, Xinxiang, 453003, Henan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • HSV-1 infection can lead to lung injury, and a study found that lower levels of FcRn (a protein) are linked to more severe lung damage caused by the virus.
  • The study revealed that HSV-1 increases the methylation of the FcRn gene, which reduces its expression by promoting DNMT3b, a protein that inhibits transcription through a specific region of the FcRn promoter.
  • Inhibiting ferroptosis (a type of cell death) with a drug helped reduce lung injury in cases affected by HSV-1, indicating that targeting FcRn might be a promising therapeutic approach.

Background: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a global contagious respiratory disease of ruminants caused by Bovine Herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1). It causes substantial financial losses in the dairy industry worldwide and is considered one of the most important causative agents of abortion and reproductive problems in dairy cattle.

Aim: This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of IBR and the related risk factors in the dairy population in Gharbia governorate, Egypt.
