Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human adenovirus (HAdV) infection is common and can develop to serious conditions with high mortality, yet the mechanism of HAdV infection remains unclear. In the present study, the serum metabolite profiles of HAdV-7-infected patients with pneumonia or upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) were explored. METHODS In total, 35 patients were enrolled in the study following an outbreak of HAdV-7 in the army, of whom 14 had pneumonia and 21 had URTI. Blood samples were collected at the acute stage and at the recovery stage and were analyzed by untargeted metabolomics. RESULTS Over 90% of the differential metabolites identified between the pneumonia patients and URTI patients were lipids and lipid-like molecules, including glycerophospholipids, fatty acyls, and sphingolipids. The metabolic pathways that were significantly enriched were primarily the lipid metabolism pathways, including sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and linoleic acid metabolism. The sphingolipid metabolism was identified as a significantly differential pathway between the pneumonia patients and URTI patients and between the acute and recovery stages for the pneumonia patients, but not between the acute and recovery stages for the URTI patients. Ceramide and lactosylceramide, involved in sphingolipid metabolism, were significantly higher in the pneumonia patients than in the URTI patients with good discrimination abilities [area under curve (AUC) 0.742 and 0.716, respectively; combination AUC 0.801]. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that HAdV modulated lipid metabolism for both the patients with URTI and pneumonia, especially the sphingolipid metabolism involving ceramide and lactosylceramide, which might thus be a potential intervention target in the treatment of HAdV infection.

Abstract
Virus-related infectious diseases are serious threats to humans, which makes virus detection of great importance. Traditional virus-detection methods usually suffer from low sensitivity and specificity, are time-consuming, have a high cost, etc. Recently, DNA biosensors based on DNA nanotechnology have shown great potential in virus detection. DNA nanotechnology, specifically DNA tiles and DNA aptamers, has achieved atomic precision in nanostructure construction. Exploiting the programmable nature of DNA nanostructures, researchers have developed DNA nanobiosensors that outperform traditional virus-detection methods. This paper reviews the history of DNA tiles and DNA aptamers, and it briefly describes the Baltimore classification of virology. Moreover, the advance of virus detection by using DNA nanobiosensors is discussed in detail and compared with traditional virus-detection methods. Finally, challenges faced by DNA nanobiosensors in virus detection are summarized, and a perspective on the future development of DNA nanobiosensors in virus detection is also provided.

Abstract
Human adenovirus type 7 (HAdV-7) can cause severe pneumonia and complications in children. However, the mechanism of pathogenesis and the genes involved remain largely unknown. We collected HAdV-7-infected and mock-infected A549 cells at 24, 48, and 72 hours postinfection (hpi) for RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and identified potential genes and functional pathways associated with HAdV-7 infection using weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). Based on bioinformatics analysis, 12 coexpression modules were constructed by WGCNA, with the blue, tan, and brown modules significantly positively correlated with adenovirus infection at 24, 48, and 72 hpi, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that the blue module was mainly enriched in DNA replication and viral processes, the tan module was largely enriched in metabolic pathways and regulation of superoxide radical removal, and the brown module was predominantly enriched in regulation of cell death. qPCR was used to determine transcript abundance of some identified hub genes, and the results were consistent with those from RNA-Seq. Comprehensively analyzing hub genes and differentially expressed genes in the GSE68004 dataset, we identified SOCS3, OASL, ISG15, and IFIT1 as potential candidate genes for use as biomarkers or drug targets in HAdV-7 infection. We propose a multi-target inhibition of the interferon signaling mechanism to explain the association of HAdV-7 infection with the severity of clinical consequences. This study has allowed us to construct a framework of coexpression gene modules in A549 cells infected with HAdV-7, thus providing a basis for identifying potential genes and pathways involved in adenovirus infection and for investigating the pathogenesis of adenovirus-associated diseases.

Abstract
Human adenovirus (HAdV) is a very common pathogen that typically causes minor disease in most patients. However, the virus can cause significant morbidity and mortality in certain populations, including young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Currently, there are no approved therapeutics to treat HAdV infections, and the standard treatment relies on drugs approved to combat other viral infections. Such treatments often show inconsistent efficacy, and therefore, more effective antiviral therapies are necessary. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the search for new chemical and biological anti-HAdV therapeutics, including drugs that are currently undergoing preclinical/clinical testing, and small molecule screens for the identification of novel compounds that abrogate HAdV replication and disease.

Characteristic of slow growth in cell culture of adenovirus type 54 causing nationwide outbreak epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in Japan. Jpn J Ophthalmol 2020; 64:312-320. [PMID: 32125553 DOI: 10.1007/s10384-020-00727-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the virological features of adenovirus type 54 (Ad54) causing nationwide outbreak of severe epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) in Japan, we comparatively analysed the viral propagation phenotype of Ad54 and other Ads: type 37 (Ad37), 64 (Ad64), and 5 (Ad5), in A549 cells quantitatively. STUDY DESIGN Laboratory investigation. METHODS We compared the growth rate of Ads using copy numbers and cytopathic effect observation during propagation in A549 cell lines. Expressions of mRNA of E1 gene were also calculated and compared. Phylogenetic analysis of the region, including putative promoter of E1 gene and E1 open reading frame (ORF), were performed. RESULTS Increases in viral loads, growth rate, and viral propagation were slower for Ad54 than for other Ads. The expression level of the E1 gene per infected cell was lower for Ad54 than for other Ad types on post-infection day 1. Phylogenetic analysis of the E1 gene putative promoter and ORF revealed Ad54 was the closest to Ad type 8. CONCLUSION The propagation of Ad54 in A549 is slow compared with Ad37, Ad64 and Ad5. This slow propagation could have been caused by slow genomic replication resulting from delayed viral entry or E1 transcription initiation. The EKC caused by Ad54 needs more attention because the slow propagation of Ad54 may contribute to prolonged disease duration.
