Abstract:
This study aims to inquire about the fluctuations of ubiquitin-specific protease 47 on neu-roblastoma cells(Neuro-2a,N2a)infected by rabies virus(RABV).USP47 expression levels were detected after RABV infection in N2a cells through RT-qPCR,protein immunoblotting,and virus titer determination.The levels of RABV nucleoprotein and phosphoprotein gene and protein,and RABV titers in supernatants were analyzed during overexpression and knockdown of USP47.The results showed that RABV infection increased USP47 gene level in N2a cells.When overexpression of USP47,the levels of RABV N and P were increased,and the virus titers were also improved.Mo-reover,the level of interleukin-6(IL-6)genes decreased.Knocking down USP47 expression reduced levels of RABV N and P genes and proteins,lowered the virus titer,and elevated the IL-6 gene lev-el.The results suggest that USP47 promotes RABV infection and suppresses IL-6 expression.This finding lays the foundation for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms by which USP47 regulates RABV infection.
