Lung-Targeted Lipid Nanoparticle-Delivered siUSP33 Attenuates SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Virulence by Promoting Envelope Degradation.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As a structural protein of SARS-CoV-2, the envelope (E) protein not only plays a key role in the formation of viral particles, but also forms ion channels and has pathogenic functions, including triggering cell death and inflammatory responses. The stability of E proteins is controlled by the host ubiquitin-proteasome system. By screening human deubiquitinases, it is found that ubiquitin-specific protease 33 (USP33) can enhance the stability of E proteins depending on its deubiquitinase activity, thereby promoting viral replication. In the absence of USP33, E proteins are rapidly degraded, leading to a reduced viral load and inflammation. Using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) encapsulation of siUSP33 by adjusting the lipid components (ionizable cationic lipids), siUSP33 is successfully delivered to mouse lung tissues, rapidly reducing USP33 expression in the lungs and maintaining knockdown for at least 14 days, effectively suppressing viral replication and virulence. This method of delivery allows efficient targeting of the lungs and a response to acute infections without long-term USP33 deficiency. This research, based on the deubiquitination mechanism of USP33 on the E protein, demonstrates that LNP-mediated siRNA delivery targeting USP33 plays a role in antiviral and anti-inflammatory responses, offering a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2.
