Abstract Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne viral pathogen and a global health burden. Knowledge of the DENV-host interactions that mediate virus pathogenicity remains limited. Host lipid metabolism is hijacked by DENV for virus replication in which lipid droplets (LDs) play a key role during the virus lifecycle. In this study, we reveal a novel role for phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) in LDs-mediated DENV infection. We demonstrate that PTEN expression is downregulated upon DENV infection through post-transcriptional regulation and, in turn, PTEN overexpression enhances DENV replication. PTEN lipid phosphatase activity was found to decrease cellular LDs area and number through Akt/FoxO1/Maf1 signaling, which, together with autophagy, enhanced DENV replication and virus production. We therefore provide mechanistic insight into the interaction between lipid metabolism and the DENV replication cycle.

Introduction Dengue virus (DENV) is one of the most important arthropod-borne viral pathogens worldwide with 390 million people at risk annually from tropic to subtropical regions, particularly in South-east Asia and the Pacific (Bhatt et al. 2013). Approximately 50 to 100 million dengue cases and 25,000 deaths are estimated to occur each year (Bhatt et al. 2013; Murray et al. 2013). DENV

infections can be asymptomatic or manifest as various clinical features, ranging from atypical non-severe or nonspecific febrile illness to potentially life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS), depending on the infection status (Yung et al. 2015; Cucunawangsih and Lugito 2017). DENV belongs to the genus Flavivirus and comprises four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) (Halstead 2003; Gould and Solomon 2008; Cox et al. 2012; Mustafa et al. 2015). As a member of Flaviviridae family, the virion is an enveloped particle containing a positive singlestranded RNA of * 11 kb. The viral RNA genome is translate
