- Virus-Cell InteractionsPhosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt and MEK/ERK Signaling Pathways Facilitate Sapovirus Trafficking and Late Endosomal Acidification for Viral Uncoating in LLC-PK Cells
Sapoviruses cause acute gastroenteritis in both humans and animals. However, the host signaling pathway(s) that facilitates host cell entry by sapoviruses remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that porcine sapovirus (PSaV) activates both PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK cascades at an early stage of infection. Removal of cell surface receptors decreased PSaV-induced early activation of both cascades. Moreover, blocking of PI3K/Akt and MEK/...
