LID - 10.3390/ijms24108637 [doi] LID - 8637 AB - Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a highly contagious viral disease which causes economic losses to the cattle industry. Ethyl gallate (EG) is a phenolic acid derivative which has various potentials to modulate the host response to pathogens, such as via antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, inhibition of the production of cell adhesion factors, and so on. This study aimed to evaluate if EG influences BVDV infection in Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells, and to understand the antiviral mechanism. Data indicated that EG effectively inhibited BVDV infection by co-treatment and post-treatment in MDBK cells with noncytotoxic doses. In addition, EG suppressed BVDV infection at an early stage of the viral life cycle by blocking entry and replication steps but not viral attachment and release. Moreover, EG strongly inhibited BVDV infection by promoting interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) expression, which localized to the cytoplasm. The protein level of cathepsin B was significantly reduced by BVDV infection, whereas with treatment with EG, it was significantly enhanced. The fluorescence intensities of acridine orange (AO) staining were significantly decreased in BVDV-infected cells but increased in EG-treated cells. Finally, Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated that EG treatment significantly enhanced the protein levels of autophagy markers LC3 and p62. Chloroquine (CQ) significantly increased IFITM3 expression, and Rapamycin significantly decreased it. Thus, EG may regulate IFITM3 expression through autophagy. Our results showed that EG could have a solid antiviral activity on BVDV replication in MDBK cells via increased IFITM3 expression, lysosomal acidification, protease activity, and regulated autophagy. EG might have value for further development as an antiviral agent.
