EBV employs a latency period as a strategy to avoid host immune surveillance and achieve lifelong persistent infection. However, the latent state may be interrupted and EBV may reactivate into a lytic replication cycle, exacerbating transmission and pathogenicity. The balance and transition between these two phases in the EBV lifecycle are complex, and reactive oxygen species play an important role. We reviewed the relationship between oxidative stress and lytic replication of EBV, and the role of oxidative stress in the development of EBV-related tumors. Further research is required to explore and develop tumor antioxidant therapy.","PeriodicalId":12505,"journal":{"name":"Future Virology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49489980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials & methods: In this study, we simulate the binding of the DENV envelope against GRP78 using structural bioinformatics tools. Results: The sequence similarity of the DENV envelope C3–C30 and C302–C333 regions against the Pep42 cyclic peptide suggest these regions are possible recognition sites for GRP78. C3–C30 has a more similar grand average hydrophobicity index to that of Pep42 and a more negative binding affinity toward GRP78. Conclusion: We predict this region (C3–C30) of the DENV envelope to be the recognition site of GRP78. Further experimental validation will be important to future studies.","PeriodicalId":12505,"journal":{"name":"Future Virology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although most acute HAV infections can resolve spontaneously, there are about 15,000–30,000 deaths occurring annually worldwide. Therefore, it is important to study the mechanism of HAV infection. Recent studies have shown that HAV can be cloaked in the host membrane and exit cells nonlytically. This unique form of HAV is called quasi-enveloped HAV (eHAV) and is infectious and resistant to neutralizing antibodies. eHAV makes HAV different from many picornaviruses and provides a new pathway to HAV infection. In this review, we briefly summarize the characteristics and functions of eHAV in HAV infection.","PeriodicalId":12505,"journal":{"name":"Future Virology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43284673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The immune response that is activated in response to infection to control viral replication may become exaggerated and contribute to this damage. An overactive inflammatory response could be controlled using immunomodulatory strategies, an ideal target for which may be the multiple pattern recognition receptors that are involved in the innate immune response to HSV, including Toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, nucleotide oligomerization domain like receptors and cGAS-STING.

Results: Patients with UBC had a significantly higher mean BKPyV LT-Ag DNA load than those without UBC. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, BKPyV LT-Ag copies/cell and smoking/illicit use of drugs were associated with bladder cancer.
