Hepatitis E ORF2 blocks trophoblast autophagy to induce miscarriage via LC3B binding rather than PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway suppression
2025-09-21
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic pathogen that can infect pregnant women and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage and preterm delivery. The previous study demonstrated that HEV genotype 3 (HEV-3) inhibits complete autophagic flux in both mouse placental tissue and human trophoblast cells (JEG-3), evidenced by reduced expression of ATG proteins (including LC3, Beclin1, ATG4B, ATG5, and ATG9A...
