Article Title: Species-specific regulation of porcine STING stability and antiviral signaling via its K61 mediated K48 ubiquitination and proteasome degradation

doi: 10.64898/2026.03.26.714395

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A-B) HEK293T cells were co-transfected with mCherry-pSTING (20 ng) or its mutants together with pcGAS-HA (20 ng), plus ISRE-luc (10 ng) or NF-κΒ-luc (10 ng) and pRL-TK plasmid (0.4 ng) for 24 h. Luciferase activities were detected, and protein expressions were analyzed. (C-F) 3D4/21 cells in 24-well cell crawl slides were co-transfected with Flag-pSTING or K61R mutant together with KDEL-Red (C), mApple-SiT (D), MITO-GFP (E) or Lamp1-GFP (F) (each 0.5 μg) for 24 h, and then cells were fixed, stained and the colocalization of STING and its K61R mutant with organelles was examined by confocal fluorescence microscopy. (G) HEK293T cells in 6-well were transfected with Flag-pSTING or K61R mutant (1 μg/mL) for 24h, and stimulated with 2’3’-cGAMP (2 μg/mL) for 2 h. Then interaction between STING and TBK1/IRF3 was identified by Co-IP using anti-FLAG antibody, whereas rabbit IgG served as the control. (H-I) STING -/- 3D4/21 cells in 12-well were transfected with pmCherry-C1, mCherry-pSTING or K61R mutant (1 μg) for 24 h, and stimulated with 2’3’-cGAMP (2 μg/mL) for indicated times (H) or 6 h (I). Cells were harvested and analyzed by Western blotting (H) and RT-qPCR (I). (J-M) STING -/- 3D4/21 cells were transfected with Flag-pSTING or its mutants (1μg), and then stimulated with 2’3’-cGAMP (2 μg/mL) for 2 h, followed by infections with HSV-1 (MOI=0.01, 36 h) or PRV (MOI=0.01, 24 h). The viral titers in the supernatants from HSV-1 (J) or PRV (L) infected cells was measured by plaque assay, and the HSV-1 and PRV gD gene expressions were measured by RT-qPCR (K and M). ( N-P ) STING -/- MA104 cells were transfected and stimulated as in STING -/- 3D4/21 cells, followed by infections ASFV-GFP, infected cells were detected by fluorescence microscopy and cytometry, Western blotting and quantitative PCR. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.

doi: 10.1128/jvi.01883-25

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytotoxicity and inhibitory effects on RV replication of different HSP90 inhibitors. ( A ) Plots for cell viability of MA104, Caco-2, and HT-29 cells after treatment with NVP-HSP990, GA, or 17-AAG at indicated concentrations for 24 h. Cell viability was tested using the CCK-8 assay. ( B ) Plots for RV (Wa and SA11 strains) inhibition in MA104, Caco-2, and HT-29 cells after treatment with NVP-HSP990, GA, or 17-AAG at indicated concentrations for 24 h. RV replication was tested by PFA, and IC 50 values are indicated at the top of each plot. The experiments were performed in triplicate, and the data are presented as mean ± SEM and are representative of four ( A ) and two ( B ) independent experiments. ns, not significant; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, **** P < 0.0001 (two-way ANOVA).

doi: 10.1128/jvi.01883-25

Figure Lengend Snippet: NVP-HSP990 inhibited MAPK activation and facilitated expression of tight junction-associated proteins in intestinal cells. ( A ) MA104, Caco-2, and HT-29 cells were mock-infected with PBS or infected with RV Wa or SA11 strains (MOI = 3), followed by treatment of 100 nM HSP990 (+) or an equal volume of DMSO as a control (−) for 20 h. Then the infected cells were harvested for WB analysis of MAPK components. ( B ) Caco-2 cells were mock-infected with PBS, treated with 1 µM C16-PAF(C16), or infected with RV Wa or SA11 strains (MOI = 3), and then treated with 100 nM HSP990 (+) or DMSO as a control (−) for 20 h. The infected cells were harvested for WB analysis of MAPK components. ( C ) Caco-2 cells were mock-infected with PBS or infected with RV Wa or SA11 strains (MOI = 3), and then treated with 100 nM HSP990 (+) or DMSO as control (−) for 20 h. Then the infected cells were harvested for WB analysis of tight junction-associated proteins. Data are representative of three ( A ) and two ( B and C ) independent experiments.
