Innate immune modulation by RNA viruses: emerging insights from functional genomics
TL;DR: Systems-biology approaches are increasingly being used to study the processes of viral triggering and regulation of host immune responses and provide new insights into how RNA viruses cause disease.

Abstract: Although often encoding fewer than a dozen genes, RNA viruses can overcome host antiviral responses and wreak havoc on the cells they infect. Some manage to evade host antiviral defences, whereas others elicit an aberrant or disproportional immune response. Both scenarios can result in the disruption of intracellular signalling pathways and significant pathology in the host. Systems-biology approaches are increasingly being used to study the processes of viral triggering and regulation of host immune responses. By providing a global and integrated view of cellular events, these approaches are beginning to unravel some of the complexities of virus-host interactions and provide new insights into how RNA viruses cause disease.

TL;DR: ZAPS was selectively induced by 5′-triphosphate–modified RNA (3pRNA) and functioned as a potent stimulator of interferon responses in human cells mediated by the RNA helicase RIG-I, suggesting its possible use as a therapeutic target for viral control.

TL;DR: A gene signature for symptomatic influenza capable of detecting 94% of infected cases was generated and applied to Emergency Department patients where it discriminates between swine-origin influenza A/H1N1 infected and non-infected individuals with 92% accuracy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that influenza virus directly infects and replicates in primary human NK cells, a potential novel strategy of influenza virus to evade the NK cell innate immune defense that is likely to facilitate viral transmission and may also contribute to virus pathogenesis.

Cardif is an adaptor protein in the RIG-I antiviral pathway and is targeted by hepatitis C virus
Etienne Meylan,Joseph Curran,Kay Hofmann,Darius Moradpour,Marco Binder,Ralf Bartenschlager,Jürg Tschopp +6 more
TL;DR: Cardif is described, a new CARD-containing adaptor protein that interacts with RIG-I and recruits IKKα, IKKβ and IKKɛ kinases by means of its C-terminal region, leading to the activation of NF-κB and IRF3.

1918 Influenza: the Mother of All Pandemics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the public health implications of the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, which caused ≈50 million deaths worldwide and remains an ominous warning to public health.
Identification of genes differentially regulated by interferon α, β, or γ using oligonucleotide arrays
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the usefulness of oligonucleotide arrays in monitoring mammalian gene expression on a broad and unprecedented scale and provide insights into the basic mechanisms of IFN actions.

VISA Is an Adapter Protein Required for Virus-Triggered IFN-β Signaling
TL;DR: Depletion of VISA inhibits virus-triggered and RIG-I-mediated activation of IRF-3, NF-kappaB, and the IFN-beta promoter, suggesting that VISA plays a central role in virus- Triggered TLR3-independent IFn-beta signaling.

TL;DR: It is shown that the length of dsRNA is important for differential recognition by RIG-I and MDA5, and the Mda5 ligand, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, was converted to a Rig-I ligand after shortening of the ds RNA length.
