Targeted RNA degradation of HIV-1 TAR element at 5'UTR by CRISPR-Cas13X blocks HIV-1 lytic reactivation

This study uses CRISPR-Cas13X to target HIV-1 TAR RNA, inhibiting viral reactivation and reducing viral load in infected cells.

Inhibition of KDM5A/B promotes antitumor innate immune responses in HHV-8/KSHV-positive B-cell lymphomas

This study shows that inhibiting KDM5A/B enhances antitumor innate immune responses and induces KSHV lytic reactivation in KSHV-positive B-cell lymphomas.

Targeting NAT10 Activates Tumor-Intrinsic Immunity and Suppresses Tumor Progression in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study identifies NAT10 as a suppressor of tumor-intrinsic immunity in HNSCC, showing that its inhibition enhances immune responses and suppresses tumor progression.

Levosimendan inhibits HIV-1 infection in myeloid cells in the RIOK1-dependent manner

This study shows that levosimendan inhibits HIV-1 infection in myeloid cells through RIOK1-dependent mechanisms.

m5C RNA Methylation Is Dysregulated by Oncogenic Herpesviruses via c-Myc Signaling to Counteract Host Antiviral Factors

This study shows that KSHV and EBV reduce host m5C RNA methylation via c-Myc to destabilize TRIM25 and promote lytic replication.

NAT10 Suppresses RNA Sensing Induced IFN-β Transactivation to Promote Viral Infection via Interfering with IRF3 Activities

This study shows NAT10 suppresses IFN-β transactivation by inhibiting IRF3, thereby promoting viral infection.

Analysis of Head and Neck Cancer scRNA-seq Data Identified PRDM6 Promotes Tumor Progression by Modulating Immune Gene Expression

The paper identifies PRDM6 as a promoter of tumor progression in HNSCC by modulating immune gene expression using scRNA-seq data and IRIS3 analysis.

FACT subunit SUPT16H associates with BRD4 and contributes to silencing of antiviral interferon signaling

The paper shows that SUPT16H, a FACT subunit, interacts with BRD4 to suppress antiviral interferon signaling, and its inhibition enhances IFN responses against multiple viruses.
