Abstract Background: During Enterovirus type 71 (EV71) infection, the structural viral protein 1 (VP1) activates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress associated with peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) accumulation and induces autophagy. However, the specific mechanism behind this process remains elusive. Methods: In this research, we used the VP1-overexpressing mouse Schwann cells (SCs) models co-transfected with a PMP22 silencing or Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR/gp78) overexpressing vector to explore the regulation of gp78 on PMP22 and its relationship with autophagy and apoptosis. Results: The activity of gp78 could be influenced by EV71-VP1, leading to a decrease in the ubiquitination… More >
