Objective To investigate the anti-viral effects of Pueraria lobata water extract in vitro and in vivo, and explore the cellular mechanisms of its anti-viral effects based on lysosomal biosynthesis. Methods CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell viability of A549 cells treated with P. lobata water extract. A549 cells were infected by vesicular stomatitis virus expressing green fluorescent protein (VSV-GFP), fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of P. lobata water extract on the proportion of GFP positive cells; Western blotting was used to examine the effect of P. lobata water extract on the expression of VSV G protein; qRT-PCR was used to detect the effect of P. lobata water extract on the replication of influenza A virus (H1N1), encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) respectively. P. lobata water extract was used to treat H1N1 drop-nose infected mice at doses of 0.8 and 1.6 g/kg, the survival rate, body weight changes and lung inhibition index of mice were observed; CT images, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of lung tissue were used to observe the effect of drug treatment on pathological changes in lung tissue; qRT-PCR was used to detect the viral load, interleukin-6 (Il6), and tumor necrosis factor α (Tnfα) gene expressions in lung tissue. MEF cells were treated with P. lobata water extract and subjected to transcriptome sequencing analysis, qRT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expressions of lysosomal related genes. Flow cytometry was used to detect effect of P. lobata water extract on the proportion of GFP positive cells in transcription factor EB (Tfeb)−/− of mouse immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDM). Results P. lobata water extract significantly inhibited intracellular VSV-GFP virus replication and VSV virus G protein expression (P < 0.001), and reduced H1N1, EMCV and HSV-1 virus replication (P < 0.001). P. lobata water extract could improve the survival rate of H1N1 infected mice, reduce the viral load in lung, and improve lung lesions in mice. Bioinformatics analysis showed that P. lobata water extract up-regulated the expressions of lysosomal related genes, and demonstrated that P. lobata water extract promoted lysosomal biogenesis to resist VSV virus infection through TFEB (P < 0.001). Conclusion P. lobata water extract promotes lysosomal biogenesis through TFEB, thereby inhibiting viral infection in vitro and in vivo.
