Key result
Enterovirus A71 infection induces autophagy without apoptosis in human neuronal cells to support viral replication.
Why the study?
The effect of Enterovirus A71 infection on human neuronal cells remains poorly understood.
Population
Human neural stem cells and IMR-32 neuroblastoma cells differentiated into neuronal cells
Comparison
Enterovirus A71 infection vs no infection
Design
Preclinical laboratory study

No immediate change to EV-A71 care; leaves open autophagy modulation as a replication target for future study.
EV-A71 infection induces autophagy in human neuronal cells, which supports viral RNA replication without causing obvious cytopathic effects or apoptosis.
Lin et al. (2020) studied Enterovirus A71 infection. Enterovirus A71 infection vs. Mock infection was evaluated on Autophagy induction and viral RNA replication. Enterovirus A71 infection induces autophagy and autophagic flux without causing apoptosis in human neuronal cells, and the accumulation of autophagosomes supports viral RNA replication.
