[0001] The present invention relates to a new application of small heat shock protein Hsp27, specifically, the present invention relates to a method and related application of targeting Hsp27 to inhibit enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection. Background technique
[0002] Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a global concern and is mainly caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16). HFMD is usually a self-limiting disease with mild clinical manifestations, but in some cases, it can also lead to serious neurological complications and even death in children, especially those under 5 years of age. Complications include poliomyelitis-like acute flaccid paralysis, aseptic meningitis, brainstem encephalitis, and pulmonary edema.
