Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an acute, virulent, and highly contagious disease caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The high mutation rate of PEDV makes it difficult to effectively control using traditional vaccines, emphasizing the need for novel anti-PEDV-specific drugs. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the activity and mechanism of action of andrographolide (AND) against PEDV in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that AND treatment significantly inhibited PEDV replication in a cell model. The mechanism is that AND treatment significantly suppressed PEDV-induced activation of the JAK2-STAT3 pathway, which promoted apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation of the virus. Moreover, PEDV-infected 3-day-old piglets were treated with AND, and clinical symptoms, intestinal morphology, and viral load were examined. In vivo experiments showed that AND treatment reduced clinical symptoms, ameliorated intestinal damage, and increased the survival rate of infected piglets by 16.7 %. Conclusively, this study contributes to the field of PEDV antiviral drug development and provides new directions for PED prevention and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
