GM-CSF and M-CSF Driven Differentiation Differentially Regulates Chikungunya Virus Infection and Antiviral Responses in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages

Jeury Veloz, Victoria Zyulina, Sara A. Thannickal, Eva Chebishev, Dabeiba Bernal‐Rubio, Maria del Mar Villanueva Guzman, Chenyang Wu, Estefania Valencia, Danielle Novillo, Vrushali Dhamapurkar, Laura Espinar‐Barranco, Laurence G. Webb, Rafael Fenutría, Maria Gabriela Noval, Ana Fernandez-Sesma

This study shows that GM-CSF and M-CSF differentially regulate CHIKV infection and antiviral responses in human macrophages, with M-CSF promoting antiviral states.

Differential restriction of chikungunya virus in primary human cardiac endothelial cells occurs at multiple steps in the viral life cycle

Sophie N. Spector, Maria Gabriela Noval, Kenneth A. Stapleford

This study investigates how different strains of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and related alphavirus Mayaro virus (MAYV) infect human cardiac endothelial cells, finding that CHIKV is restricted at multiple stages while MAYV evades restriction more effectively.
