Viruses Viral Genome Model/Cells Tight Junctions Up/Down Regulate Effects on Virus Infection References
HIV ssRNA Rhesus monkeys, Rat, HBMEC OCLN, ZO-1, CLDN-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ↓ NF-κB and MAPK
pathways involved in IL-17, IL-6, TNF-α
Inhibiting [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]

internalization of virus, and the EC2 and C-termini of OCLN, involved in HCV
infection

ZIKV-H Positive ssRNA Mice ZO-1 ↑ Upregulates the
expression of ZO-1 in human BBB
Promoting [42,43]
ZIKV-PR Positive ssRNA Mice ZO-1, OCLD, CLDN-5 ↓ Downregulated the
expression of ZO-1, OCLN, and CLDN-5 and penetrated into the brain parenchyma early after infection
Inhibiting [42,43,44,45,46,47,48]

DENV Positive ssRNA human endothelial ZO-1 ↓ Downregulates the
expression of TNF-α, cause a significant decrease in ZO-1 expression and peripheral localization in epithelial and endothelial cells
Inhibiting [49,50,51,52,53]
JEV Positive ssRNA Mice ZO-1, OCLN, CLDN-5 ↓ Downregulation of OCLN, CLDN5 and ZO-1 expression; IP10 induces TNF-a, which leads to BBB destruction. Inhibiting [54]

expression in the BBB, thus ensuring the integrity of the TJ
Inhibiting [55]
IAV 8-segment negative ssRNA Ferret, Mice OCLN, ZO-1, CLDN-1,3 ↓ Destructs BBB; alter the
cytoskeleton and morphology of airway epithelial cells
Inhibiting [56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65]
RSV Negative ssRNA Mice OCLN, ZO-1, CLDN-1 ↓ Causes airway epithelial barrier dysfunction, leading to an immune response and
airway inflammation
enhancement
Inhibiting [66,67,68]
SRAS-CoV Positive ssRNA MDCK ZO-1 ↓ Affects the integrity of lung epithelial cells by
downregulating the
expression of ZO-1
Inhibiting [69,70]
AAV ssDNA Mice ZO-1, OCLN, CLDN ↓ Downregulating CLDN11 Inhibiting [71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78]

permeability of polarized MDCK cells
Inhibiting [79,80]
PEDV Positive ssRNA Vero-E6, IPEC-J2 OCLN ↑ Viral entry is closely
associated with internalization of OCLN

pathway.
Inhibiting [84]
PoSaV Positive ssRNA Intestinal epithelial cells ZO-1, 2, CLDN-1 ↓ PSaV enters the target cells by inducing early dissociation of TJs, which binds to the OCLN that acts as a
functional co-receptor
Inhibiting [85,86]
EBOV Negative ssRNA Sertoli ZO-1, 2 ↓ Disruption of BTBs formed by intercellular TJs in testes through reduces the
expression of ZO-1 and ZO-2
Inhibiting [87]
