Porcine epidemic diarrhea, characterized by vomiting, dehydration, and diarrhea, is an acute and highly contagious enteric disease caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in neonatal piglets. This disease has caused large economic losses to the porcine industry worldwide. Thus, identifying the host factors involved in PEDV infection is important to develop novel strategies to control PEDV transmission. This study shows that PEDV infection upregulates karyopherin α 2 (KPNA2) expression in Vero and intestinal epithelial (IEC) cells. KPNA2 binds to and degrades the PEDV E protein via autophagy to suppress PEDV replication. These results suggest that KPNA2 plays an antiviral role against PEDV. Specifically, knockdown of endogenous KPNA2 enhances PEDV replication, whereas its overexpression inhibits PEDV replication. Our data provide novel KPNA2-mediated viral restriction mechanisms in which KPNA2 suppresses PEDV replication by targeting and degrading the viral E protein through autophagy. These mechanisms can be targeted in future studies to develop novel strategies to control PEDV infection.

Viral infections trigger inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation. Nevertheless, limited understanding exists regarding how viruses use the active caspase-1 to evade host immune response. Here, we use porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) as a model of coronaviruses (CoVs) to illustrate the intricate regulation of CoVs to combat IFN-I signaling and pyroptosis.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is extremely deadly for neonatal piglets, with a mortality rate that can reach 100%, causing significant economic losses in the pig industry.
- The study identifies dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) as a cofactor that enhances PEDV invasion and replication by mapping its expression in various piglet tissues and showing its distribution in intestinal cells.
- Research indicates that inhibiting DPP4 reduces PEDV infection, and experiments suggest that DPP4 and PEDV interact directly, reinforcing the idea that DPP4 plays a crucial role in the virus’s ability to infect pigs.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a significant pathogen affecting swine, causing severe economic losses worldwide. This study explores the regulatory role of miRNA-328-3p to ZO-1 expression and its impact on PEDV proliferation via the PLC-β1-PKC pathway in IPEC-J2 cells. We found that miRNA-328-3p can target ZO-1, influencing its expression and subsequently affecting the integrity of tight junctions in the cells.

PEDV is a highly contagious enteric pathogen that can cause severe diarrhea and death in neonatal pigs. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms of host's response to PEDV infection remain unclear. In this study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs), time-specific coexpression modules, and key regulatory genes associated with PEDV infection were identified.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the interactions between the swine pathogens Trichinella spiralis and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) using porcine intestinal organoids as a model.
- Results show that T. spiralis excretory/secretory antigens (TsES) can inhibit pro-inflammatory responses and aid in mucosal repair in PEDV-infected organoids.
- The findings suggest that TsES not only help manage inflammation and tissue damage but may also enhance PEDV replication, highlighting their potential role in therapeutic strategies for intestinal inflammation.
