Inhibitory Activity and Mechanism of Silver Nanoparticles Against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1
Abstract Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a common pathogen that infects 50-90% of the world's population and causes a variety of diseases, some of which can be life-threatening. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been proven to have broad spectrum antiviral activity. In this study, we investigated the activity of AgNPs against HSV-1 by means of some antiviral tests and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results of antiviral tests demonstrated that AgNPs effectively inhibited the plaque formation and progeny production of HSV-1, reduced the genomic load and interfered with the mRNA expression and the protein synthesis of HSV-1. TEM observed that AgNPs could interact with HSV-1 and deform the HSV-1 particles. Furthermore, AgNPs could affect HSV-1’s entry into cells, HSV-1’s release and cell-to-cell spread. AgNPs could also down-regulate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines upon HSV-1 infection. In addition, the combined treatment of AgNPs and Acyclovir (ACV) confirmed that AgNPs could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of ACV against HSV-1. Our findings offer a new insight into clarifying the mechanism of AgNPs against HSV-1, thus providing a theoretical basis for its clinical application..
