Activation of TLR signaling is a first line of the host defense system in the elimination of invading pathogens. 1 Insulin-like growth factor binding protein, acid-labile subunit (IGFALS) is a leucine-rich glycoprotein. By prolonging the half-life of IGF-I in the vascular system, 2 IGFALS regulates the bioavailability of IGF, which is crucial for normal growth and development and metabolic regulation. 3, 4 However, the role of IGFALS in antiviral innate immune responses has not been established. In this study, we found that IGFALS is virus inducible, while it in turn inhibits viral replication. Mechanistically, IGFALS directly associates with IRAK1 and TRAF6, facilitating IRAK1/TRAF6 complex formation and enhancing K63-linked polyubiquitination of both proteins for full activation, thereby facilitating antiviral signaling. First, we assessed the interplay of viruses and IGFALS. IGFALS protein expression was significantly enhanced with IAV or SeV infection (Fig. 1 A). In addition, IAV replication was inhibited in A549 cells with IGFALS overexpression (Fig. 1 B). Moreover, aberrant expression of IGFALS diminished SeV replication (Fig. 1 C). Then, we constructed specific shRNAs targeting IGFALS. Consistent with the above findings, IGFALS knockdown enhanced VP1 mRNA levels in EV71-infected RD cells (Fig. 1 D). Next, we generated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to confirm the antiviral activity of IGFALS. We found that both the mRNA and protein levels of EV71 VP1 were elevated in IGFALS-deficient MEFs (Fig. 1 E).Activation of antiviral signaling cascades leads to the production of type I and III interferons (IFNs). 5 The results of qPCR experiments indicated that overexpression of IGFALS potentiated VSV-induced IFN production (Fig. 1 F). Furthermore, we generated IGFALS-deficient splenocytes; the qPCR analysis results demonstrated that
