Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a naturally occurring hydrophilic bile acid that alleviates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inhibits apoptosis, thereby protecting cells. Previous studies have shown that enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection modulates ER stress and induces autophagy to assist viral replication. This study observed the effects of TUDCA pretreatment on HeLa and Vero cells infected with EV71, finding that TUDCA inhibits EV71 replication in TUDCA pretreated HeLa and Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner. We found that TUDCA pretreatment inhibited EV71 replication by regulating three branches of UPR, that is up-regulated ATF6, down-regulated both PERK and IRE1. The results also indicated that autophagy which is downstream of UPR, was inhibited either. The results indicate that TUDCA inhibits EV71 replication by regulating UPR sensor proteins and autophagy following ER stress.

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a major pathogen that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in infants and children. Notably, no clinically approved drugs specifically target EV71. The EV71 2A protease (2A), a cysteine protease produced by the virus, is essential for the virus' replication and has a significant impact on the functioning of host cells.

Article Synopsis
- All viruses rely on the host's cellular machinery to produce their proteins, specifically utilizing the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells for this process.
- Viruses can manipulate the ER to create structures for viral production while avoiding detection by the host's immune system.
- Reticulophagy, a process that degrades ER components, acts as an antiviral defense mechanism (termed "xERophagy"), but viruses have also evolved ways to counteract this defense to enhance their replication.

Innate immune cells have been acknowledged as trainable in recent years. While intestinal tuft cells are recognized for their crucial roles in the host defense against intestinal pathogens, there remains uncertainty regarding their trainability.

Article Synopsis
- Enterovirus 71 (EV71) poses a significant public health threat and currently lacks specific treatment options, highlighting the need for deeper understanding of its infection mechanisms.
- Research identifies VPS34, a host factor, as critical for EV71 infection, with its inhibition resulting in reduced viral replication.
- The study also finds that the PI3P-binding protein DFCP1 is essential for effective EV71 replication, as it interacts with viral proteins and aids the formation of viral replication organelles by utilizing lipids from host lipid droplets.
