| Abstract |
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) targets central nervous system, resulting in neuroinflammation with typical features of neuronal death along with hyper activation of glial cells. Exploring the mechanisms responsible for the JEV-caused inflammatory response remains a pivotal area of research. In the present study, we have explored the function of p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) in JEV-mediated inflammatory response in human astrocytes. The results showed that JEV infection enhances the phosphorylation of PAK4 in U251 cells and mouse brain. Knockdown of PAK4 resulted in decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines that include tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 and interferon β upon JEV infection, suggesting that PAK4 signaling promotes JEV-mediated inflammation. In addition, we found that knockdown of PAK4 led to the inhibition of MAPK signaling including ERK, p38 MAPK and JNK, and also resulted in the reduced nuclear translocation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of AP-1. These results demonstrate that PAK4 signaling actively promotes JEV-mediated inflammation in human astrocytes via MAPK-NF-κB/AP-1 pathway, which will provide a new insight into the molecular mechanism of the JEV-induced inflammatory response. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 July 2017.
All research outputs
#18,555,330
of 22,981,247 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
#4,888
of 6,474 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,024
of 316,843 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
#139
of 183 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,981,247 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,474 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,843 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 183 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
