This prospective observational study thus evaluates a six‑lead smECG device in feline clinical practice. A total of forty cats underwent simultaneous ECG recordings with a standard ECG (stECG) and the six‑lead smECG. Heart rhythm was assessed; heart rate, P- and R-wave amplitudes, wave and interval durations and the QRS mean electrical axis were measured. The Bland-Altman plot and Cohen's κ test were used to assess the agreement between the devices. All smECG traces were evaluable. The smECG showed perfect agreement with the stECG in heart rhythm diagnosis (κ = 1) and QRS axis deviation (κ = 1). No clinically significant differences in heart rate or wave and interval duration were observed between the devices. However, the smECG tended to underestimate the P- and R-wave amplitude. The six‑lead smECG device was easy to use and reliable in cats, providing an accurate assessment of heart rhythm and ECG parameters.

Our previous screening identified ZDHHC7 as a potent restriction factor for PRRSV. However, the mechanisms underlying ZDHHC7-mediated suppression of PRRSV replication remains unclear. Here, we showed that PRRSV RNA replication is impaired by ZDHHC7 in an acyltransferase-dependent manner. This antiviral effect was achieved by S-palmitoylation of Nsp10 (Nonstructural protein 10), which weakened the binding between viral RNA and Nsp10. By cleaving porcine ZDHHC7 at E226, PRRSV Nsp4 impaired the S-palmitoylation of Nsp10, STING, and MAVS. Additionally, the cleaved fragments did not inhibit PRRSV multiplication, whereas the cleavage-resistant mutant ZDHHC7-E226A exhibited enhanced antiviral activity. Finally, we demonstrated that PRRSV Nsp2 and GP5 (glycoprotein 5) induce the transcription of APT1 (Acyl-protein thioesterase 1) through the transcription factor NFATC3 to reverse the S-palmitoylation level of Nsp10. Collectively, this work uncovers the antagonistic strategy employed by PRRSV to dampen the antiviral function of ZDHHC7, which deepens our understanding of the immune evasion mechanisms during PRRSV infection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21083,"journal":{"name":"Research in veterinary science","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 106102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146166478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under physiological conditions, its central nervous system (CNS) penetration is limited by P-glycoprotein–mediated efflux at the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Nevertheless, supratherapeutic dosing, BBB-compromising pathologies, concomitant P-glycoprotein inhibitors, or MDR1 variants can enhance CNS entry and precipitate neurotoxicity. To evaluate behavioural and neuroinflammatory sequelae of subacute exposure, rats received IVR (1, 5, or 10 mg/kg; i.p.) once daily for 21 days. Animals were assessed for motor function (activity cage, Rota-rod), affective behaviour (elevated plus maze, modified forced swim test), and cognition (Morris water maze). Assay validation employed diazepam (1 and 3 mg/kg; i.p.), desipramine (30 mg/kg; i.p.), and piracetam (200 mg/kg; i.p.), administered according to their respective protocols. IVR did not alter motor performance or spatial learning and memory across doses. However, 5 and 10 mg/kg reduced the percentage of open-arm entries and increased immobility, consistent with anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes, respectively. At 10 mg/kg, hippocampal immunohistochemistry revealed increased Iba1 and GFAP immunoreactivity within CA1, indicating microglial and astrocytic activation. Quantitative counts demonstrated no significant change in CA1 neuronal number across treatment groups, implying that the observed glial activation occurred in the absence of detectable neuronal loss. Collectively, our data indicate that subacute, high-dose IVR provokes affective behavioural alterations coupled to hippocampal neuroinflammation, while sparing gross motor function and measurable cognitive performance under the present conditions.
