The dysregulation of autophagy and ER stress induced by HHV-6A infection activates pro-inflammatory pathways and promotes the release of inflammatory cytokines and cathepsin S by CNS cells

HHV-6A is a neurotropic herpesvirus able to infect several CNS cells including astrocytes and primary neurons. Here we found that HHV-6A infection of astrocytoma cells, by reducing autophagy, increased ROS and induced ER stress, promoting the release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-1β...
