(B) HUVECs with silica microbeads were cultured inside the AFS microfluidic chip for 2 h at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 . (C) Exposure to 5 μg/mL of NS1 significantly softened the HUVEC cells within 4 h. No statistically significant differences in stiffness were observed after washing out the viral proteins and culturing them overnight. All experiments were performed at 37 °C, with sample sizes of n = 140, 78, and 57 for control, NS1, and recovery groups, respectively.

    NS1-induced vascular leakage is associated with the rearrangement of VE-cadherin, formation of stress fibers, and synthesis of hyaluronan. (A) Immunostaining of endothelial cells in the microvessel-on-a-chip for VE-cadherin (green) and F-actin (red) following incubation with 5 μg/mL NS1 for 4 h. An increase in the formation of actin stress fibers and morphological rearrangement of VE-cadherin were observed (arrowheads). Scale bars: 30 μm. (B) Endothelial cells, both untreated and NS1-treated, were stained for hyaluronan (green), revealing the presence of hyaluronan-rich dot-like structures (arrowheads). Signal intensity was quantified from three independent experiments. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of 5 independent chips from 3 to 5 donors, with statistical significance indicated as *** p < 0.001. Scale bars: 30 μm.

    Schematic diagram of effects of K272R amino acid substitution on the NS1 properties upon viral infection. During K272R mutant virus infection, the NS1-K272R inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1 protein and downstream expression of ISGs to enhance the K272R mutant replication. Besides, the infection of K272R mutant virus induced more intense phosphorylation of p65 and higher secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines which may be due to the higher production of sNS1
