Currently, there are no pharmaceutical agents targeting JCV infection for the treatment and the prevention of viral reactivation leading to the development of PML. As JCV primarily reactivates in immunocompromised patients, it is proposed that the immune system (mainly the cellular-immunity component) plays a key role in the regulation of JCV to prevent productive infection and PML development. However, the exact mechanism of JCV immune regulation and reactivation is not well understood. Likewise, the impact of host factors on JCV regulation and reactivation is another understudied area. Here we discuss the current literature on host factor-mediated and immune factor-mediated regulation of JCV gene expression with the purpose of developing a model of the factors that are bypassed during JCV reactivation, and thus are potential targets for the development of therapeutic interventions to suppress PML initiation.

Here, we investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of an anti-oxidant genistein in SOD1-G93A transgenic mouse model of ALS. Rotarod test, hanging wire test and hindlimb clasping test were used to determined disease onset and assess motor performance. Immunostaining together with neuronal size measurement were used to count viable motor neurons. In addition, immunostaining procedure and ELISA kit were used to assess the inflammatory response in the spinal cord. Our results showed that Genistein administration suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and alleviated gliosis in the spinal cord of SOD1-G93A mice. In addition, genistein administration induced autophagic processes and enhanced the viability of spinal motor neurons. As a result, genistein alleviated ALS-related symptoms and slightly prolonged the lifespan of SOD1-G93A mice. Taken together, our results indicate that genistein is neuroprotective in SOD1-G93A mice, suggesting genistein could be a promising treatment for human ALS.
