Zika virus infection induces host inflammatory responses by facilitating NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and interleukin-1β secretion

TL;DR: It is revealed that the polymerase of Zika virus binds NLRP3 to facilitate inflammasome complex assembly and induce production of IL-1β in human macrophages, human PBMCs and mice, resulting in pathogenesis in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Biomimetic Nanodecoy Traps Zika Virus To Prevent Viral Infection and Fetal Microcephaly Development

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NDs significantly attenuate the ZikV-induced inflammatory responses and degenerative changes and thus improve the survival rate of ZIKV-challenged mice, and successfully prevent ZIKVs from passing through physiologic barriers into the fetal brain and thereby mitigate ZIKv-induced fetal microcephaly in pregnant mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

NS5 Conservative Site Is Required for Zika Virus to Restrict the RIG-I Signaling.

TL;DR: An essential role of NS5 conservative site D146 in ZikV-mediated repression of innate immune system is uncovered, a distinct mechanism by which ZIKV evades host immune responses is illustrated, and a potential target for anti-viral infection is discovered.
