Human antigen R (HuR) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the post-transcriptional reaction of its target mRNAs. HuR is a critical factor in cancer development and has been identified as a potential target in many cancer models. It participates in the viral life cycle by binding to viral RNAs. In prior work, we used CRISPR/Cas9 screening to identify HuR as a prospective host factor facilitating Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection. The HuR gene was successfully knocked out in U251 cell lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system, with no significant difference in cell growth between U251-WT and U251-HuR-KO2 cells. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time that the knockout of the HuR gene inhibits the replication ability of JEV in U251 cell lines. These results play an essential role in regulating the replication level of JEV and providing new insights into virus–host interactions and potential antiviral strategies. It also offers a platform for investigating the function of HuR in the life cycle of flaviviruses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
