7-methyl-5-(1-((3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetyl)-2-3-dihydro-1h-indol-5-yl)-7h-pyrrolo(2-3-d)pyrimidin-4-amine and Encephalitis--Japanese

Accumulated evidence demonstrates that Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and neuron apoptosis. ER stress sensor protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) has been reported to induce apoptosis under acute or prolonged ER stress. However, the precise role of PERK in JEV-induced apoptosis and encephalitis remains unknown. Here, we report that JEV infection activates the PERK-ATF4-CHOP apoptosis pathway both
