Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Emerging evidence shows that HO-1 also exhibits antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and Ebola virus. Its antiviral effects are mediated not only by its enzymatic function but also through the modulation of interferon-related pathways, thereby inhibiting viral replication. In this study, we investigated the antiviral effects of HO-1 on canine coronavirus (CCoV) and canine influenza virus (CIV) H3N2 using cell-based assays. To determine whether HO-1 suppresses CCoV and CIV, cells were treated with hemin to induce HO-1 expression. Hemin treatment successfully induced HO-1 expression in A72 and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, resulting in the suppression of CCoV and CIV replication. The canine HO-1 gene was cloned into an expression vector and transfected into cells to achieve transient overexpression. Recombinant canine HO-1 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using an expression vector. HO-1 overexpression suppressed CCoV and CIV replication in cells. Following viral infection, treatment with purified HO-1 protein led to a reduction in viral protein levels. Therefore, both HO-1 expression and exogenous protein treatment effectively inhibited CCoV and CIV replication. Elevated HO-1 protein levels consistently reduced viral RNA and protein expression in vitro. These findings suggest that HO-1 could serve as a potential therapeutic agent for managing viral infections in dogs.

Abstract
-
The K418 chimeric virus of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was engineered by replacing the genomic region containing structure protein genes of an infectious clone of PRRSV, FL12, with the same region obtained
from a Korean dominant field strain, LMY. The K418 reached 106 TCID50/ml of viral titer with similar growth kinetics to those of parental strains and had a cross-reactive
neutralizing antibody response to field serum from the entire country. The chimeric clone pK418 can be used as a practical tool for further studying the molecular characteristics of PRRSV proteins through genetic manipulation. Furthermore,
successful construction of the K418 will allow for the development of customized vaccine candidates against PRRSV, which has evolved rapidly in Korea.

Abstract
-
The ethanol extract of Zanthoxylum piperitum (L.) DC. showed in vitro antiviral activity against influenza A virus. Three flavonol glycosides were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of Z. piperitum leaf by means of activity-guided chromatographic separation. Structures of isolated compounds were identified as quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (1), quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (2), kaempferol
3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (3) by comparing their spectral data with literature values. The anti-influenza viral activity of isolates was evaluated using a plaque reduction assay against influenza A/NWS/33 (H1N1) virus. The compounds also were subjected to neuraminidase inhibition assay in influenza A/NWS/33 virus. Compounds 1-3 exhibited antiviral activity against an influenza A virus in vitro, and inhibited the neuraminidase activity at relatively high concentrations.
