Rhinoviruses are a major cause of respiratory infections, including asthma infectious exacerbations. Human rhinovirus 16 (RV-16) has been widely shown to infect respiratory epithelial cells and the human lung vascular endothelium. RV-16 was also observed to induce an IFN-β-dependent mechanism of antiviral intracellular mechanisms based on OAS-1 and PKR activity. This study aimed to investigate whether the human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) infected with RV-16 display a resistance to subsequent infections with the same virus, RV-16. HMVEC-L were infected with RV-16 and reinfected with RV-16 on Day 5. IFN-β-dependent responses, antiviral protein expression, inflammatory cytokine levels, and a viral copy numbers were assessed by real-time PCR, flow cytometry, ELISA, and confocal microscopy. RV-16 infection induced a significant IFN-β production and an activation of IFN-β-dependent antiviral proteins in HMVEC-L. On Day 5 post infection, these antiviral mechanisms remained active. In cells reinfected with RV-16, significantly lower replication of RV-16 was observed as compared to cells primarily infected with RV-16 on Day 5. Concomitantly, reinfected HMVEC-L showed a weaker response in IFN-β and inflammatory cytokine production. HMVEC-L infected with RV-16 display a sustained activation of IFN-β-dependent antiviral mechanisms, conferring resistance to subsequent infections with RV-16.

Article Synopsis
- Rhinovirus (RV) is a leading cause of colds and asthma, and while curcumin has antiviral properties, it has poor pharmacokinetics. New curcumin-like compounds BDHBC and DHHPD show improved solubility and stability.
- The study aimed to compare the antiviral effects of curcumin, BDHBC, and DHHPD in an RV infection model using various assays to evaluate their effectiveness.
- Results indicated that BDHBC was the most effective antiviral agent, particularly in post-treatment scenarios, showing strong inhibition of RV infection compared to the other compounds, and suggesting potential for use as an antiviral treatment.

Pectin and its derivatives have been shown to modulate immune signaling as well as gut microbiota in preclinical studies, which may constitute the mechanisms by which supplementation of specific pectic polysaccharides confers protection against viral respiratory infections. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled rhinovirus (RV16) challenge study, healthy volunteers were randomized to consume placebo (0.0 g/day) (N = 46), low-dose (0.

Airway epithelium repair after infection consists of wound repair, re-synthesis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and tight junction proteins. In humans, EPs 7630 obtained from roots reduces the severity and duration of acute respiratory tract infections. The effect of EPs 7630 on tissue repair of rhinovirus-16 (RV-16) infected and control human airway epithelial cells was assessed for: (i) epithelial cell proliferation by manual cell counts, (ii) epithelial wound repair by "scratch assay", (iii) ECM composition by Western-blotting and cell-based ELISA, and (iv) epithelial tight junction proteins by Western-blotting.

Background: COVID-19 is associated with cardiac dysfunction. This study tested the relative prognostic role of left (LV), right and bi- (BiV) ventricular dysfunction on mortality in a large multicenter cohort of patients during and after acute COVID-19 hospitalization.
Methods/results: All hospitalized COVID-19 patients who underwent clinically indicated transthoracic echocardiography within 30 days of admission at four NYC hospitals between March 2020 and January 2021 were studied.
