[PMID: 38670410 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Recent research has highlighted complex and close interaction between miRNAs, autophagy, and viral infection. In this study, we observed the autophagy status in CIK cells infected with GCRV at various time points. We found that GCRV consistently induced cellar autophagy from 0 h to 12 h post infection. Subsequently, we performed deep sequencing on CIK cells infected with GCRV at 0 h and 12 h respectively, identifying 38 DEMs and predicting 9581 target genes. With the functional enrichment analyses of GO and KEGG, we identified 35 autophagy-related target genes of these DEMs, among which akt3 was pinpointed as the most central hub gene using module assay of the PPI network. Then employing the miRanda and Targetscan programs for prediction, and verification through a double fluorescent enzyme system and qPCR method, we confirmed that miR-193 b-3p could target the 3'-UTR of grass carp akt3, reducing its gene expression. Ultimately, we illustrated that grass carp miR-193 b-3p could promote autophagy in CIK cells. Above results collectively indicated that miRNAs might play a critical role in autophagy of grass carp during GCRV infection and contributed significantly to antiviral immunity by targeting autophagy-related genes. This study may provide new insights into the intricate mechanisms involved in virus, autophagy, and miRNAs.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conservative and important process that exists in all eukaryotic cells in nature. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as KHV (Koi Herpesvirus), is a pathogen that mainly infecting common carp and koi. In the present study, we identified the CcLC3B gene, with a length of 379 bp and displaying a close evolutionary relationship with other sixteen different species, the tissue distribution and expression pattern of CcLC3 were also identified. We found that CyHV-3 infection could promote autophagy in CCB cells at the early stage but inhibit autophagy at the late stage by using confocal fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and western blotting. And we measured the protein levels associated with the Akt/mTOR signalling pathway, intracellular replication of CyHV-3 at the mRNA and protein levels as well as viral titters. Collectively, the results taken together suggested that CyHV-3 infection could promote autophagy in CCB cells at the early stage but inhibit autophagy at the late stage via mTOR and that promoting autophagy could facilitate CyHV-3 intracellular replication and extracellular viral yields in CCB cells. These findings revealed the relationship between CyHV-3 and autophagy and provided a novel treatment strategy targeting the autophagy signalling pathway against CyHV-3 infection.

Bushra, Maha IF, Xie X, Yin F. Integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of encystation in Cryptocaryon irritans regulated by rapamycin. Vet Parasitol 2023; 314:109868. [PMID: 36603452 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2022.109868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Encystation in Cryptocaryon irritans is a fundamental process for environmental resistance and development. Autophagy participates in the encystation of ciliates, and rapamycin can induce autophagy in the cells. A set of genes and metabolites related to autophagy and encystation are highly elaborative. The existence of these genes and metabolites and their role are well characterized. However, little is known about their role in protozoans such as ciliates. The newly produced C. irritans protomonts were exposed to an optimal concentration of rapamycin (1400 nM), and the survival, encystation, microstructure/ultrastructure, transcriptomic and metabolomic profile in treated and control protomonts were investigated. The results showed that exposure of protomonts to rapamycin at 4 h significantly lowered the survival and encystation rates to 91.62 % and 98.44 % compared to the control group (100 %, p ≤ 0.05). Morphological alterations observed in light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the drug significantly changed cell symmetry by causing the formation of various autophagic vacuoles/vesicles. The transcriptome sequencing of rapamycin-treated protomont revealed that 2249 (1837 up-regulated and 977 down-regulated) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that 226 DEGs were successfully annotated in 21 pathways (p˂0.05), including most enriched pathways apoptosis and phagosome with 25 and 24 DEGs, respectively. Most unigenes were assigned to autophagy-related pathways; 24 DEGs were classified into phagosomes, and 15 DEGs were assigned to lysosome pathways. Cytoskeleton and cell progression-associated genes were down-regulated. Besides, cell death-inducing proteins were up-regulated. The metabolomic analysis revealed exposure to rapamycin treatment enhanced protomont metabolites, including L-Cysteine, which is related to autophagy. Rapamycin had influenced the gene and metabolites of protomont; activating autophagy with inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin, (mTOR). The process negatively influences protomont morphology, encystation, and survival. Further autophagy-related gene silencing can be investigated via genome sequencing of C. irritans to study encystation.

Identification and characterization of DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX3 in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and its relationship with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus infection. DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 135:104493. [PMID: 35840014 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2022.104493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
DDX3, a member of the DEAD-box RNA helicase family and has highly conserved ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity, has important roles in RNA metabolism and innate anti-viral immune responses. In this study, five transcript variants of the DDX3 gene were cloned and characterized from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These five transcript variants of DDX3 encoded proteins were 74.2 kDa (686 aa), 76.4 kDa (709 aa), 77.8 kDa (711 aa), 78.0 kDa (718 aa), and 78.8 kDa (729 aa) and the predicted isoelectric points were 6.91, 7.63, 7.63, 7.18, and 7.23, respectively. All rainbow trout DDX3 proteins contained two conserved RecA-like domains that were similar to the DDX3 protein reported in mammals. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the five cloned rainbow trout DDX3 were separate from mammals but clustered with fish, especially Northern pike (Esox lucius) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). RT-qPCR analysis showed that the DDX3 gene was broadly expressed in all tissues studied. The expression of DDX3 after infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) infection increased gradually after the early stage of IHNV infection, decreased gradually with the proliferation of IHNV in vivo (liver, spleen, and kidney), and was significantly decreased after the in vitro infection of epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) and rainbow trout gonad cell line-2 (RTG-2) cell lines. We also found that rainbow trout DDX3 was significantly increased by a time-dependent mechanism after the poly I:C treatment of EPC and RTG cells; however no significant changes were observed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. Knockdown of DDX3 by siRNA showed significantly increased IHNV replication in infected RTG cells. This study suggests that DDX3 has an important role in host defense against IHNV infection and these results may provide new insights into IHNV pathogenesis and antiviral drug research.

Abstract
Autophagy impacts the replication cycle of many viruses. Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) is an agent that seriously affects the development of the grass carp aquaculture industry. The role of autophagy in GCRV infection is not clearly understood. In this study, we identified that GCRV infection triggered autophagy in CIK cells, which was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy, the conversion of LC3B I to LC3B II and the level of autophagy substrate p62. Furthermore, we found that GCRV infection activated Akt-mTOR signaling pathway, and the conversion of LC3B I to LC3B II was increased by inhibiting mTOR with rapamycin (Rap) but decreased by activating Akt with insulin. We then assessed the effects of autophagy on GCRV replication. We found that inducing autophagy with Rap promoted GCRV proliferation but inhibiting autophagy with 3 MA or CQ inhibited GCRV replication in CIK cells. Moreover, it was found that enhancing Akt-mTOR activity by insulin, GCRV VP7 protein and viral titers of GCRV were decreased. Collectively, these results indicated that GCRV infection induced autophagy involved in GCRV replication via the Akt-mTOR signal pathway. Thus, new insights into GCRV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies are provided.

Abstract
Autophagy and apoptosis play important roles in the occurrence and development of diseases. Largemouth bass virus (LMBV) is a primary agent that causes infectious skin ulcerative syndrome in largemouth bass and threatens the aquaculture of the species. We investigated the relationship between LMBV and autophagy, as well as the effect of autophagy on apoptosis induced by LMBV. Results showed that LMBV could induce autophagy in epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells. There was also an increase in LC3-II protein and decrease in p62 protein, along with autophagosome-like membranous vesicles and punctate autophagosomes fluorescent spots being observed in EPC cells. Enhancing autophagy inhibited the replication of LMBV and apoptosis in EPC cells while inhibiting autophagy produced the opposite effect. These results offer new insights into the pathogenesis of LMBV and anti-LMBV strategies.

[PMID: 34890776 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is the vital pathogen that has caused the great economic loss in salmonid fisheries. To date, there is limited information concerning the changes of lncRNAs in RTG-2 cells infected by IHNV. In this study, a comparative transcriptome analysis of lncRNAs was performed in RTG-2 cells with and without IHNV infection to determine their changes and the effects on IHNV infection. The results showed that IHNV infection significantly changed the expression levels of lncRNAs and mRNAs, including 3693 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE-lncRNAs) and 3503 differentially expressed mRNAs (DE-mRNAs) respectively. These DE-lncRNAs and DE-mRNAs induced by IHNV were mostly associated with immune response, RNA processing, and viral diseases related pathways. Further analysis found that some DE-lncRNAs might participate in the regulation of extracellular matrix metabolism, apoptosis, lipid synthesis, autophagy, and immune responses referring to the functions of their target genes. Afterwards, 349 co-expression relationships were constructed by 223 DE-lncRNAs and 271 DE-mRNAs, of which LTCONS_00146935 was the pivotal node in the interaction networks, and was together with its target genes modulated the immune responses under the IHNV infection. RT-qPCR results showed that the changes of the selected immune-related DEGs were in consistent with the RNA-seq data, suggesting that the sequencing data was relatively reliable. In summary, this is the first study to determine the changes and interactions of lncRNA-mRNA in RTG-2 cells under the IHNV infection. The results provided the valuable information concerning the lncRNAs in salmonid fish, which will benefit for future study on uncovering the roles of lncRNAs-mRNAs during the viral infection.

[PMID: 34339774 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2021.198525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Novirhabdoviruses belong to the Rhabdoviridae family of RNA viruses. All of the four members are pathogenic for bony fish. Particularly, Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) often cause mass animal deaths and huge economic losses, representing major obstacles to fish farming industry worldwide. The interactions between fish and novirhabdoviruses are becoming better understood. In this review, we will present our current knowledge of fish innate immunity, particularly type I interferon (IFN-I) response, against novirhabdoviral infection, and the evasion strategies exploited by novirhabdoviruses. Members of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) appear to be involved in novirhabdovirus surveillance. NF-κB activation and IFN-I induction are primarily triggered for antiviral defense. Autophagy can also be induced by viral glycoprotein (G). Although sensitive to IFN-I, novirhabdoviruses have nucleoprotein (N), matrix protein (M), and non-virion protein (NV) to interfere with host signal transduction and gene expression steps toward antiviral state establishment. Moreover, novirhabdoviruses may exploit some microRNAs for immunosuppression.

A preliminary investigation on the mechanism of action of 4-(8-(2-ethylimidazole)octyloxy)-arctigenin against IHNV. Virus Res 2021; 294:198287. [PMID: 33418024 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2020.198287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Arctigenin derivatives form an elite class of naturally occurring compounds that possess promising antiviral therapeutic perspectives. In a previous study, we design and synthesize a arctigenin derivative, 4-(8-(2-ethylimidazole)octyloxy)-arctigenin (EOA), to evaluate its antiviral activity on infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). In this study, we find that the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of EOA on IHNV nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), nonvirion protein (NV) and polymerase (L) mRNA expression is 0.92, 0.80, 0.98, 0.89 and 0.87 μM, respectively. Mechanistically, our results show that EOA do not damage the viral particles directly, indicating EOA does not possess antiviral activity by destroying virions. Viral binding assays reveal that EOA do not interfere with IHNV adsorption. Because rapamycin has been shown to exhibit anti-IHNV activity by inducing autophagy of epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells, we further investigate the relationship between EOA and autophagy in EPC cells. Autophagy fluorescence detection shows that EPC cells have a strong autophagy body after being treated with derivative EOA. The electron microscopy results show that EOA could induce typical autophagosomes which are representative structures of autophagy activation. Moreover, the punctate accumulation of green fluorescence-tagged microtubule-associate protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and the protein conversion from LC3-I to LC3-II are respectively confirmed by confocal fluorescence microscopy and western blotting. Overall, these findings demonstrate that EOA plays an anti-IHNV role via inducing autophagy in EPC cells.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a common pathogen that causes huge economic losses for the salmonid aquaculture industry. Autophagy plays an important regulatory role in the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, we explored the relationship between IPNV infection and autophagy in Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) cells using standard methods. Transmission electron microscopy showed that IPNV infection produced typical structures of autophagosomes in CHSE-214 cells. Transformation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-I to LC3-II protein, a marker of autophagy, was observed in IPNV-infected cells using confocal fluorescence microscopy and western blot analysis. Western blotting also showed that expression of the autophagy substrate p62 was significantly decreased in IPNV-infected cells. The influence of autophagy on IPNV multiplication was further clarified with cell culture experiments using autophagy inducer rapamycin and autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. Rapamycin promoted IPNV multiplication at both the nucleic acid and protein levels, which led to higher IPNV yields; 3-methyladenine treatment had the opposite effect. This study has demonstrated that IPNV can induce autophagy, and that autophagy promotes the multiplication of IPNV in CHSE-214 cells.

Abstract
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a fish viral pathogen that causes severe disease and huge economic losses in the salmonid aquaculture industry. However, anti-IHNV drugs currently are scarce. For the purpose of seeking out anti-IHNV drugs, the anti-IHNV activities of 32 medicinal plants were investigated by using epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells. Among these plants, Prunella vulgaris L. (PVL) showed the strongest inhibition on IHNV replication with an inhibitory percentage of 99.3% at the concentration 100 mg/L. Further studies demonstrated that ursolic acid (UA), a major constituent of PVL, also showed a highly effective anti-IHNV activity. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) at 72 h of UA on IHNV was 8.0 μM. Besides, UA could significantly decrease cytopathic effect (CPE) and the viral titer induced by IHNV in EPC cells. More importantly, UA also showed a strong anti-IHNV activity in vivo, as indicated by increasing the survival rate of rainbow trout and inhibiting viral gene expression. Intraperitoneal injection of UA increased the relative percentage of survival of rainbow trout by 18.9% and inhibited IHNV glycoprotein mRNA expression by > 90.0% in the spleen at the 1st-day post-infection. Altogether, UA was expected to be a therapeutic agent against IHNV infection in aquaculture.

Abstract
Viral diseases in aquaculture were challenging because there are few preventative measures and/or treatments. Our previous study indicated that imidazole arctigenin derivatives possessed antiviral activities against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Based on the structure-activity relationship in that study, a new imidazole arctigenin derivative, 4-(8-(2-ethylimidazole)octyloxy)-arctigenin (EOA), was designed, synthesized and its anti-IHNV activity was evaluated. By comparing inhibitory concentration at half-maximal activity (IC50), we found that EOA (IC50 = 0.56 mg/L) possessed a higher antiviral activity than those imidazole arctigenin derivatives in our previous study. Besides, EOA could significantly decrease cytopathic effect (CPE) and viral titer induced by IHNV in epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells. In addition, EOA significantly inhibited apoptosis induced by IHNV in EPC cells. Further data verified that EOA inhibited IHNV replication in rainbow trout, with reducing 32.0% mortality of IHNV-infected fish. The results suggested that EOA was more stable with a prolonged inhibitory half-life in the early stage of virus infection (1-4 days). Consistent with above results, EOA repressed IHNV glycoprotein gene expression in virus sensitive tissues (kidney and spleen) in the early stage of virus infection. Moreover, histopathological evaluation showed that tissues from the spleen and kidney of fish infected with IHNV exhibited pathological changes. But there were no lesions in any of the tissues from the control group and EOA-treaten group. In accordance with the histopathological assay, EOA could elicited anti-inflammation response in non-viral infected rainbow trout by down-regulating the expression of cytokine genes (IL-8, IL-12p40, and TNF-α). Altogether, EOA was expected to be a therapeutic agent against IHNV infection in the field of aquaculture.

Abstract
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was developed as a vector to aid the construction of vaccines against viral diseases such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, spring viremia of carp virus, and influenza virus H1N1. However, the optimal site for foreign gene expression in the IHNV vector has not been determined. In the present study, five recombinant viruses with the green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene inserted into different genomic junction regions of the IHNV genomic sequence were generated using reverse genetics technology. Viral growth was severely delayed when the GFP gene was inserted into the intergenic region between the N and P genes. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assays showed that the closer the GFP gene was inserted towards the 3' end, the higher the GFP mRNA levels. Measurement of the GFP fluorescence intensity, which is the most direct method to determine the GFP protein expression level, showed that the highest GFP protein level was obtained when the gene was inserted into the intergenic region between the P and M genes. The results of this study suggest that the P and M gene junction region is the optimal site within the IHNV vector to express foreign genes, providing valuable information for the future development of live vector vaccines.

Abstract
Anisomycin caused profound inhibition of SVCV replication in EPC cells. Anisomycin blocked morphological cell damage caused by SVCV replication. Anisomycin suppressed SVCV replication in vivo, resulting in a prolonged survival of infected zebrafish.
Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) caused by spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) is an acute and highly lethal viral disease of cyprinid fish. However, effective therapy for SVC is still scarce until now. Here we evaluated the inhibition of anisomycin (Ani), a metabolite produced by Streptomyces griseolus, on the replication of SVCV in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrated that Ani could suppress SVCV replication with the maximum inhibitory rate > 95% in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells. And the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of Ani on SVCV glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein mRNA expressions were 21.79, 13.13 and 12.24 nM, respectively. Besides, Ani decreased SVCV-induced cytopathic effects and nucleus damages. As expected, Ani also showed a strong anti-SVCV activity in vivo, as indicated by inhibiting viral gene expression and increasing the survival rate of zebrafish. Intraperitoneal injection of Ani increased the survival rate of zebrafish by 30% and markedly inhibited the expressions of G and N mRNA by > 60% in kidney and spleen at day 1 and day 4 post-infection. Results so far suggest that Ani as a powerful agent against SVCV can be applied to the control of SVC in aquaculture.

Abstract
Autophagy is a degradation cellular process which also plays an important role in virus infection. Glutamine is an essential substrate for the synthesis of glutathione which is the most abundant thiol-containing compound within the cells and plays a key role in the antioxidant defense and intracellular signaling. There is an endogenous cellular glutathione pool which consists of two forms of glutathione, i.e. the reduced form (GSH) and the oxidized form (GSSG). GSH serves as an intracellular antioxidant to maintain cellular redox homeostasis by scavenging free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can lead to autophagy. Under physiological conditions, the concentration of GSSG is only about 1% of total glutathione, while stress condition can result in a transient increase of GSSG. In our previous report, we showed that the replication of snakehead fish vesiculovirus (SHVV) was significant inhibited in SSN-1 cells cultured in the glutamine-starvation medium, however the underlying mechanism remains enigmatic. Here, we revealed that the addition of L-Buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of the GSH synthesis, could decrease the γ-glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) activity and GSH levels, resulting in autophagy and significantly inhibition of the replication of SHVV in SSN-1 cells cultured in the complete medium. On the other hand, the replication of SHVV was rescued and the autophagy was inhibited in the SSN-1 cells cultured in the glutamine-starvation medium supplemented with additional GSH. Furthermore, the inhibition of the synthesis of GSH had not significantly affected the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, it significantly decreased level of GSH and enhanced the level of GSSG, resulting in the decrease of the value of GSH/GSSG, indicating that it promoted the cellular oxidative stress. Overall, the present study demonstrated that glutamine starvation impaired the replication of SHVV in SSN-1 cells via inducing autophagy associated with the disturbance of the endogenous glutathione pool.

Abstract
Reverse genetics systems are powerful tools for understanding the virulence mechanisms and gene functions of negative-sense RNA viruses. The reverse genetics systems commonly used for recombinant infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) are based on vaccinia virus infection. To avoid the potential biological safety risks associated with vaccinia virus, a recombinant IHNV virus strain Sn1203 (rIHNV-Sn1203) was rescued in this study using a mammalian cell line, BHK-21. The genome sequence authenticity of rIHNV-Sn1203 was confirmed using two silent genetic tags introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. Indirect immunofluorescence assays and transmission electron microscopy revealed that rIHNV-Sn1203 and wild-type IHNV-Sn1203 (wtIHNV-Sn1203) had identical immunogenicity and virion morphology. The virulence and pathogenicity of rIHNV-Sn1203 were assessed in vitro and in vivo. Although rIHNV-Sn1203 displayed trends toward delayed intracellular viral replication and lower virion yields compared with wtIHNV-Sn1203, statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between these two viruses. Moreover, rainbow trout challenged with rIHNV-Sn1203 and wtIHNV-Sn1203 showed indistinguishable mortality. Together, these results show that IHNV was successfully rescued using BHK-21 cells. This method is very convenient and may also be suitable for use in the recovery of other Novirhabdoviruses.

Abstract
Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) is an important pathogen of silkworms. Despite extensive studies in recent decades, the interaction between BmNPV and host cells is still not clearly understood. Autophagy is an intrinsic innate immune mechanism and it controls infection autonomously in virus-infected cells. In this study, we found that BmNPV infection could trigger autophagy, as demonstrated by the formation of autophagosomes, fluorescent Autophagy-related gene 8-Green Fluorescent Protein (ATG8-GFP) punctate, and lipidated ATG8. Meanwhile, autophagic flux increased significantly when monitored by the ATG8-GFP-Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) autophagy tandem sensor and protein degradation of p62. In addition, almost all of the identified autophagy-related genes (Atgs) had been up-regulated post infection in mRNA levels. Then, we screened Atgs with the greatest fold-change during virus infection. Interestingly, all of the screened Atgs positively regulated the expression of virus genes. Further studies showed that Atg7 and Atg9 could contribute to the level of autophagy caused by viral infection. Our results demonstrated that BmNPV induced host cell autophagy to benefit its infection. These results offer insight into the complex interactions between virus and host cell, and viral pathogenesis.
