ABSTRACT
Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV), the predominant cause of viral encephalitis in many Asian countries, affects approximately 68,000 people annually. Lysosomes are dynamic structures that regulate cellular metabolism by mediating lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. Here, we showed that lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) and LAMP2 were downregulated in cells after JEV infection, resulting in a decrease in the quantity of acidified lysosomes and impaired lysosomal catabolism. What's more, JEV nonstructural protein 4B plays key roles in the reduction of LAMP1/2 via the autophagy-lysosome pathway. JEV NS4B also promoted abnormal aggregation of SLA-DR, an important component of the swine MHC-II molecule family involved in antigen presentation and CD4+ cell activation initiation. Mechanistically, NS4B localized to the ER during JEV infection and interacted with GRP78, leading to the activation of ER stress-mediated autophagy. The 131-204 amino acid (aa) region of NS4B is essential for autophagy induction and LAMP1/2 reduction. In summary, our findings reveal a novel pathway by which JEV induces autophagy and disrupts lysosomal function.
