Pseudorabies virus infection triggers pUL46-mediated phosphorylation of connexin-43 and closure of gap junctions to promote intercellular virus spread. by Alexander Tishchenko, Nicolás Romero, Cliff Van Waesberghe, Jonas L Delva, Oliver Vickman, Gregory A Smith, Thomas C Mettenleiter, Walter Fuchs, Barbara G Klupp, Herman W Favoreel

“…Consequently, a UL46null PRV mutant is unable to phosphorylate Cx43 or inhibit GJIC and displays reduced intercellular spread, which is effectively rescued by pharmacological inhibition of GJIC. Intercellular spread of UL46null PRV is also rescued by inhibition of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING), suggesting that pUL46-mediated suppression of GJIC contributes to intercellular virus spread by hindering intercellular communication that activates STING. …”

Noradrenergic inputs from the locus coeruleus to anterior piriform cortex and the olfactory bulb modulate olfactory outputs by Chi Geng, Ruochen Li, Shan Li, Penglai Liu, Yuxin Peng, Changyu Liu, Zhen Wang, Hongxing Zhang, Anan Li

“…Here, in DBH-Cre mice model, we show that LC NAergic neurons project directly to both anterior piriform cortex (aPC) and the olfactory bulb (OB). By using pharmacological and optogenetic manipulations in vitro and in vivo, we found that NE reduces the excitability of aPC pyramidal neurons directly via α2 receptors and that it bidirectionally regulates the activity of OB mitral cells via modulation of inhibitory inputs. …”
