After the mice were given different doses of Total Glucosides of White Paeony Capsules (TGP) for 10 d, the hepatosomatic index, biochemical indices in serum and liver homogenate were measured, and histopathological changes in liver tissue were observed. Glucurolactone was used as the positive control, and 0.9% sodium chloride was used as the negative control in the experiment.[Results] TGP reduced the activities of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transferase (AST) in serum and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissue, and increased the level of glutathione (GSH) and the activity of superoxidase dismutase (SOD) in liver tissue.[Conclusions] TAP has a protective effect against the liver injury induced by INH and RFP.展开更多

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase Ⅲ(PI4KB), which is required by enteroviruses for RO formation, yields phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate(PI4P) on ROs. PI4P then binds and induces conformational changes in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(Rd Rp) to modulate Rd Rp activity. Here, we targeted 3D polymerase, the core enzyme of EV71 ROs, and found that the host factor Annexin A2(ANXA2) can interact with 3 D polymerase and promote the replication of EV71. Then, an experiment showed that the annexin domain of ANXA2, which possesses membranebinding capacity, mediates the interaction of ANXA2 with EV71 3 D polymerase. Further research showed that ANXA2 is localized on ROs and interacts with PI4KB. Overexpression of ANXA2 stimulated the formation of PI4P, and the level of PI4P was decreased in ANXA2-knockout cells. Furthermore, ANXA2, PI4KB, and 3D were shown to be localized to the viral RNA replication site, where they form a higher-order protein complex, and the presence of ANXA2 promoted the PI4 KB-3D interaction. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the role of ANXA2 in facilitating formation of the EV71 RNA replication complex.展开更多
