NAD+ Suppresses EV-D68 Infection by Enhancing Anti-Viral Effect of SIRT1.

ABSTRACT: Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) is a non-enveloped virus with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that causes respiratory diseases and acute flaccid myelitis, posing significant threats to human health. However, an effective vaccine remains undeveloped. SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent enzyme, plays a key role in cellular metabolism, but its interaction with NAD+ during viral infections is not well understood. In this study, through a metabolomics analysis, we demonstrate that EV-D68 infection influences cellular metabolism. Additionally, we show that NAD+ inhibits EV-D68 infection both in vivo and in vitro. EV-D68 reduces cellular NAD+ levels by regulating the expression of enzymes involved in NAD+ consumption and synthesis. Moreover, the infection increases the
