Despite the fact that the role of NS1 proteins of various mosquito-borne flaviviruses in pathogenesis was investigated and their ability to affect human endothelial permeability was shown, the role of the NS1 protein of OHFV in pathogenesis is unstudied. In this work, the ability of OHFV NS1 to induce human endothelial permeability was investigated for the first time. It was shown that recombinant OHFV NS1 produced in eucaryotic cells directly affects both human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro. RNAseq of endothelial cells treated with OHFV NS1 indicated that OHFV NS1 enhances the expression of genes associated with cellular stress responses, vascular signaling, and cell\u2013cell junction regulation, resulting in a nonspecific increase in the endothelial permeability of various vessels. These results suggest that the NS1 protein may contribute to OHFV pathogenesis by disrupting endothelial barrier function and promoting vascular leakage, potentially playing a role in the hemorrhagic manifestations of Omsk hemorrhagic fever.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v17070923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,2]],"date-time":"2025-07-02T07:55:43Z","timestamp":1751442943000},"page":"923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Orthoflavivirus omskense NS1 Protein Induces Microvascular Endothelial Permeability In Vitro"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2066-8975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogdana I.","family":"Kravchuk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6884-6104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey L.","family":"Matveev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4822-0251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey A.","family":"Kechin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alena O.","family":"Stepanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8799-7135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lyudmila A.","family":"Emelyanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sargis M.","family":"Khachatryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of the Novosibirsk Region \u201cState Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital\u201d, 630087 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nina V.","family":"Tikunova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1413-5876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yana A.","family":"Khlusevich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2104","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(10)61120-8","article-title":"Omsk Haemorrhagic Fever","volume":"376","author":"Yakimenko","year":"2010","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1016\/S0166-3542(02)00206-1","article-title":"Tick-Borne Encephalitis","volume":"57","author":"Gritsun","year":"2003","journal-title":"Antiviral Res."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2510","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.27581","article-title":"Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Is a Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Adapted to Muskrat through Host-Jumping","volume":"94","author":"Kovalev","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
