“…S1), exacerbated cytopathic effect in infected cells was most likely related to chloroquine‐enhanced viral replication. As a commonly used lysosomotropic agent, chloroquine may raise the pH in cellular endosomes to inhibit degradation of autophagosomes and viral proteins by endosome‐lysosome pathway [Misinzo et al, ,b; Gannage et al, ], thereby promoting the early assembly and release of virus particles. In addition, as the antagonist of TLR3, TLR7, and TLR9 [Philbin et al, ; Vijay‐Kumar et al, ; Lim et al, ; Zipris et al, ], chloroquine may be conducive to viral replication for its inhibition on interferon production [Kono et al, ; Cao et al, ; Calven et al, ].…”
