[PMID: 37257567 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Disease caused by Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) results in major economic losses in the global grouper aquaculture industry. Vaccination is considered to be the most effective way to protect grouper from SGIV. In this study, the spores of Bacillus subtilis (B.subtilis) WB600 were utilized as the vehicle that the VP19 protein was displayed on the spores surface. To further investigate the effect of oral vaccination, the grouper were orally immunized with B.s-CotC-19 spores. After challenged, the survival rate of grouper orally vaccinated with B.s-CotC-19 spores was 34.5% and the relative percent survival (RPS) was 28.7% compared to the PBS group. Moreover, the viral load in the tissues of the B.s-CotC-19 group was significantly lower than that of the PBS group. The histopathological sections of head kidney and liver tissue from the B.s-CotC-19 group showed significantly less histopathology compared to the PBS group. In addition, the specific IgM levels in serum in the B.s-CotC-19 group was higher than those in the PBS group. In the hindgut tissue, the immune-related gene expression detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) exhibited an increasing trend in different degrees in the B.s-CotC-19 group, suggesting that the innate and adaptive immune responses were activated. These results indicated that the oral administration of recombinant B.subtilis spores was effective for preventing SGIV infection. This study provided a feasible strategy for the controlling of fish virus diseases.

JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY (SEOUL, KOREA) 2022; 60:1032-1038.

Abstract
Glycoprotein (G protein)-based DNA vaccines are effective in protecting aquaculture fish from rhabdoviruses but the degree of immune response they elicit depends on plasmid concentration and antigen cassette. Here, we developed a DNA vaccine using the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus G (VG) gene and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19)a.2 regulated by the CMV promoter as the molecular adjuvant. After transfection of the prepared plasmid (pVG + CCL19) into epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells, mRNA expression was confirmed through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The vaccine was intramuscularly injected into zebrafish (Danio rerio), and 28 days after immunization, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (105 TCID50/10 µl/fish) was intraperitoneally injected. A survival rate of 68% was observed in the pVG + CCL19 group but this was not significantly different from the survival rate of fish treated with pVG alone, that is, without the adjuvant. However, the expression of interferon- and cytokine-related genes in the spleen and kidney tissues of zebrafish was significantly increased (p < 0.05) on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 after immunization. Thus, CCL19a.2 induced an initial immune response as a molecular adjuvant, which may provide initial protection against virus infection before vaccination-induced antibody formation. This study provides insights on the functions of CCL19a.2 adjuvant in DNA vaccines.

Diel rhythm of the inflammatory cytokine il1b in the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) regulated by core components of the circadian clock. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 127:238-246.

Abstract
In recent years, studies on circadian control in immunity have been actively conducted in mammals, but little is known about circadian rhythms in the field of fish immunology. In this study, we aimed to analyse the regulation of the diel oscillation of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (il1b) gene expression by core components of the circadian clock in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). The expression of il1b and clock genes (bmal1 and clock1) in medaka acclimated to a 12:12 light (L): dark (D) cycle showed diel rhythm. Additionally, higher expression of il1b was detected in medaka embryo cells (OLHdrR-e3) overexpressing bmal1 and clock1. A significant decrease in il1b expression was observed in OLHdrR-e3 cells after bmal1 knockdown using morpholino oligos. These changes may be mediated by transcriptional regulation via clock proteins, which target the E-box sequence in the cis-element of il1b as identified using luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, LPS stimulation and pathogenic bacterial infection at different zeitgeber time (ZT) under LD12:12 conditions affected the degree of il1b expression, which showed high and low responsiveness to both immuno-stimulations at ZT2 and ZT14, respectively. These results suggested that fish IL-1β exhibited diel oscillation regulated by clock proteins, and its responsiveness to immune-stimulation depends on the time of day.

Abstract
Cytokines belong to the most widely studied group of intracellular molecules involved in the function of the immune system. Their secretion is induced by various infectious stimuli. Cytokine release by host cells has been extensively used as a powerful tool for studying immune reactions in the early stages of viral and bacterial infections. Recently, research attention has shifted to the investigation of cytokine responses using mRNA expression, an essential mechanism related to pathogenic and nonpathogenic-immune stimulants in fish. This review represents the current knowledge of cytokine responses to infectious diseases in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Given the paucity of literature on cytokine responses to many infections in carp, only select viral diseases, such as koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD), spring viremia of carp (SVC), and carp edema virus disease (CEVD), are discussed. Aeromonas hydrophila is one of the most studied bacterial pathogens associated with cytokine responses in common carp. Therefore, the cytokine-based immunoreactivity raised by this specific bacterial pathogen is also highlighted in this review.

Oral Probiotic Vaccine Expressing Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) ORF81 Protein Delivered by Chitosan-Alginate Capsules Is a Promising Strategy for Mass Oral Vaccination of Carps against KHV Infection. J Virol 2021; 95:JVI.00415-21.

Abstract
Koi herpesvirus (KHV) is highly contagious and lethal to cyprinid fish, causing significant economic losses to the carp aquaculture industry, particularly to koi carp breeders. Vaccines delivered through intramuscular needle injection or gene gun are not suitable for mass vaccination of carp. So, the development of cost-effective oral vaccines that are easily applicable at a farm level is highly desirable. In this study, we utilized chitosan-alginate capsules as an oral delivery system for a live probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) vaccine, pYG-KHV-ORF81/LR CIQ249, expressing KHV ORF81 protein. The tolerance of the encapsulated recombinant Lactobacillus to various digestive environments and the ability of the probiotic strain to colonize the intestine of carp was tested. The immunogenicity and the protective efficacy of the encapsulated probiotic vaccine was evaluated by determining IgM levels, lymphocyte proliferation, expression of immune-related genes, and viral challenge to vaccinated fish. It was clear that the chitosan-alginate capsules protected the probiotic vaccine effectively against extreme digestive environments, and a significant level (P < 0.01) of antigen-specific IgM with KHV-neutralizing activity was detected, which provided a protection rate of ca. 85% for koi carp against KHV challenge. The strategy of using chitosan-alginate capsules to deliver probiotic vaccines is easily applicable for mass oral vaccination of fish.IMPORTANCE An oral probiotic vaccine, pYG-KHV-ORF81/LR CIQ249, encapsulated by chitosan-alginate capsules as an oral delivery system was developed for koi carp against koi herpesvirus (KHV) infection. This encapsulated probiotic vaccine can be protected from various digestive environments and maintain effectively high viability, showing a good tolerance to digestive environments. This encapsulated probiotic vaccine has a good immunogenicity in koi carp via oral vaccination, and a significant level of antigen-specific IgM was effectively induced after oral vaccination, displaying effective KHV-neutralizing activity. This encapsulated probiotic vaccine can provide effective protection for koi carp against KHV challenge, which is handling-stress free for the fish, cost effective, and suitable for the mass oral vaccination of koi carp at a farm level, suggesting a promising vaccine strategy for fish.

Abstract
The inflammatory response involving interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been thought to play an important role in the development of late-phase sepsis. However, in this study, we wanted to explore the possibility of using IL-1β to improve the prognosis of sepsis by triggering local differentiation of bone marrow cells (BMCs) into regulatory dendritic cells (DCs) in vivo, thereby reversing the immune paralysis in late-phase sepsis. Sepsis mouse models were induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and lethal Escherichia coli O18 infection. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with IL-1β after CLP and after the lethal infection. Septic BMCs and liver immune cells were isolated at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 14 days post-CLP. BMCs and liver cells isolated from septic mice treated with IL-1β were adoptively transferred into CLP mice. GFP+-C57BL/6 parabiosis models were established. Serum IL-1β levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and the number, ratio, and phenotype of immune cells were observed by flow cytometry. IL-1β treatment improved the survival of sepsis and increased the numbers of BMCs and liver immune cells in septic mice. Moreover, IL-1β stimulation increased the number and the percentage of CD11c−CD45RBhigh DCs in septic BM and liver. Adoptive transfer of septic BMCs, liver immune cells, and CD11c−CD45RBhigh DCs treated with IL-1β into CLP mice attenuated sepsis. IL-1β triggered the redistribution of CD11c−CD45RBhigh DCs as well as BMCs in parabiosis models. IL-1β protects against sepsis by stimulating local proliferation and differentiation of BMCs into CD11c−CD45RBhigh DCs at immune organs and non-immune organs.

Abstract
Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) infection results in huge economic losses in gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) industry. In this study, we first constructed recombinant plasmids pcORF25 and pcCCL35.2 as DNA vaccine and molecular adjuvant against CyHV-2, respectively, and confirmed that both recombinant plasmids could be effectively expressed in vitro and in vivo. Then, the vaccination and infection experiments (n = 50) were set as seven groups. The survival rate (70%) in ORF25/CCL35.2 group was highest. The highest specific antibody levels were found in ORF25/CCL35.2 group in major immune tissues by qRT-PCR, and confirmed in serum by ELISA assay, antibody neutralization titer, and serum incubation-infection experiments. Three crucial innate immune indices, namely C3 content, lysozyme, and total superoxide dismutase (TSOD) activities, were highest in ORF25/CCL35.2 group in serum. pcORF25/pcCCL35.2 can effectively up-regulate mRNA expressions of some important immune genes (IL-1β, IL-2, IFN-γ2, and viperin), and significantly suppress CyHV-2 replication in head kidney and spleen tissues. The minimal tissue lesions can be seen in ORF25/CCL35.2 group in gill, spleen, and trunk kidney tissues by histopathological examination. The results indicated that the combination of DNA vaccine pcORF25 and molecular adjuvant pcCCL35.2 is an effective method against CyHV-2 infection, suggesting a feasible strategy for the control of fish viral diseases.

Abstract
Cyprinid Herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as Koi Herpesvirus (KHV), causes Koi Herpesvirus Disease (KHVD) which leads to serious economic losses worldwide. To exploit DNA/subunit vaccine candidates, CyHV-3 ORF131 gene and cDNA was cloned and analyzed in the present study. Major B cell epitopes of deduced CyHV-3 pORF131 was also predicted. Then the complete CDS of CyHV-3 ORF131 was inserted into pEGFP-N1 vector and a modified pYD1/EBY100 system to construct the DNA and subunit vaccine, respectively. Subsequently, carp were immunized with homologous and heterologous prime-boost regimens relying on the constructed DNA and oral subunit vaccines. Then the protective immunity generated from different vaccines and regimens as well as the capacity of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as an oral vaccine vehicle was evaluated. Our study confirmed that CyHV-3 ORF131 gene consisted of 2 introns and 3 exons encoding a 428 amino acids peptide. Further analysis indicated that four fragments of CyHV-3 pORF131 contained the major B cell epitopes (Cys20~Val140, Ser169~Tyr245, Thr258~Pro390, Phe414~Gln428), which could be linked and expressed in E. coli (BL21) as a truncated pORF131. The expression of full-length CyHV-3 pORF131 by pEGFP-N1 and yeast surface display was verified by In vitro assays before vaccination. Immunization of carp with CyHV-3 ORF131 DNA and subunit vaccines could evoke the activation of immune-related genes such as CXCa, CXCR1, IL-1β, TNF-α, INF-a1, Mx-1, IgM, IgT1 and production of specific serum IgM measured by ELISA. RPS (relative percent of survival) ranging from 53.33% to 66.67% was acquired post challenge test. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis illustrated the delivery of surface-displayed CyHV-3 pORF131 to midgut after oral gavage. Thus, our findings suggest that CyHV-3 ORF131 can serve as DNA/subunit vaccines candidate and the yeast as an ideal oral vaccine vehicle.

Abstract
The magnitude of the immune response induced by DNA vaccines depends on the amount and type of antigen-presenting cells attracted to the injection site. In our previous study, a DNA plasmid encoding the VAA gene of Vibrio anguillarum was constructed and shown to confer moderate protection against V. anguillarum challenge. To augment the protective efficacy of the VAA DNA vaccine and compare the adjuvant effects of CCL3, CCL4, CCL19 and CCL21, four bicistronic DNA plasmids containing the VAA gene of V. anguillarum together with the gene encoding the CCL3/CCL4/CCL19/CCL21 chemokines of flounder were successfully constructed and administered to fish, and the immune response of the animals and the enhancement of immunoprotection by the four chemokines were investigated. Vaccinated with pCCL3-VAA, pCCL4-VAA, pCCL19-VAA and pCCL21-VAA, flounder showed relative percent survivals of 62.16%, 83.78%, 78.38% and 72.97%, respectively, higher than the relative survival of flounder immunized with pVAA (40.54%). Compared with the pVAA group, the percentages of sIgM+, CD4-1+, and CD4-2+ lymphocytes and the levels of specific antibodies increased in pCCL3-VAA, pCCL4-VAA, pCCL19-VAA and pCCL21-VAA injection groups; CCL4 and CCL19 induced significantly higher levels of these parameters than CCL3 and CCL21 did. The amount of V. anguillarum in liver, spleen and kidney of pCCL3-VAA-, pCCL4-VAA-, pCCL19-VAA- and pCCL21-VAA-immunized flounder after V. anguillarum challenge was reduced compared to that in the pVAA group. Moreover, the co-expression of CCL3/CCL4/CCL19/CCL21 up-regulated immune-related gene expression associated with the local immune response. Our results indicate that CCL4 and CCL19 are promising adjuvants for use in VAA DNA vaccine against V. anguillarum.

Abstract
Aquaculture is one of the world's most important and fastest growing food production sectors, with an average annual growth of 5.8% during the period 2001-2016. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the main aquatic species produced for human consumption and is the world's third most produced finfish. Koi carp, on the other hand, are grown as a popular ornamental fish. In the late 1990s, both of these sectors were threatened by the emergence of a deadly disease caused by cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3; initially called koi herpesvirus or KHV). Since then, several research groups have focused their work on developing methods to fight this disease. Despite increasing knowledge about the pathobiology of this virus, there are currently no efficient and cost-effective therapeutic methods available to fight this disease. Facing the lack of efficient treatments, safe and efficacious prophylactic methods such as the use of vaccines represent the most promising approach to the control of this virus. The common carp production sector is not a heavily industrialized production sector and the fish produced have low individual value. Therefore, development of vaccine methods adapted to mass vaccination are more suitable. Multiple vaccine candidates against CyHV-3 have been developed and studied, including DNA, bacterial vector, inactivated, conventional attenuated and recombinant attenuated vaccines. However, there is currently only one vaccine commercially available in limited regions. The present review aims to summarize and evaluate the knowledge acquired from the study of these vaccines against CyHV-3 and provide discussion on future prospects.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 93:1018-1027.

Abstract
In our previous study, a DNA plasmid encoding the VAA gene of Vibrio anguillarum was constructed and demonstrated to confer moderated protection against V. anguillarum challenge. Here, a bicistronic DNA vaccine (pVAA-IRES-IL2), co-expressing the VAA gene of V. anguillarum and Interleukin-2 (IL2) gene of flounder, was constructed to increase the protective efficacy of VAA DNA vaccine. The potential of pVAA-IRES-IL2 to express both VAA and IL2 in transfected HINAE cell lines was confirmed by immunofluorescence assay. Further, the variation of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and production of VAA-specific antibodies in flounder, which was intramuscularly immunized with three DNA plasmids (pIRES, pVAA-IRES, pVAA-IRES-IL2), were investigated, respectively. The bacterial burden and relative percentage survival (RPS) of flounder exposed to V. anguillarum infection were both analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of bicistronic DNA plasmid. Our results revealed that the percentages of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and antibodies specific to VAA were remarkably increased in pVAA-IRES or pVAA-IRES-IL2 immunized fish. Moreover, the co-expression of IL2 enhanced the immune response in response to VAA DNA vaccination, as shown by the higher percentages of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and production of specific antibody. Importantly, the RPS in pVAA-IRES-IL2 and pVAA-IRES groups reached 64.1% and 51.3%, respectively, when compared with the 97.5% cumulative mortality in pIRES group. Furthermore, the number of V. anguillarum in liver, spleen and kidney of pVAA-IRES or pVAA-IRES-IL2 immunized flounder after V. anguillarum challenge was significantly reduced, as compared to that in pIRES group. These suggest that the bicistronic DNA vaccine can be an effective immunization strategy in inducing immune response against V. anguillarum infection and IL2 has the potential as the adjuvant for VAA DNA vaccine.

Abstract
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is the main grouper-infecting virus in southern China that causes serious economic losses. However, there is no effective way to control this viral disease. In this study, SGIV ORF19R (SGIV-19R) encoding a viral membrane protein was constructed into pcDNA3.1-HA and then was used to evaluate the immune protective effects in grouper Epinephelus coioides. Subcellular localization showed that SGIV-19R distributed in the cytoplasm and co-localization analysis indicated the protein partially co-localized with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). RT-PCR and Western blot analyses confirmed the expression of the vaccine plasmids in grouper muscle tissues. Moreover, the transcription levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), myxovirus resistance 1 (Mx1) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) genes were significantly up-regulated in the spleen, liver and kidney of vaccinated groupers. SGIV challenge experiments showed the relative percent survival (RPS) was significantly enhanced in fish with 49.9% at the DNA dose of 45 μg pcDNA3.1-19R, while 75.0% RPS when using 90 μg pcDNA3.1-19R. Meanwhile, vaccination with pcDNA3.1-19R significantly reduced the virus replication, evidenced by a low viral load in the spleen of survivals groupers after SGIV challenge. These results imply that pcDNA3.1-19R could induce protective immunity in grouper, and might be a potential vaccine candidate for controlling SGIV disease.

Abstract
Rhabdoviral G protein-based DNA vaccines have been recognized as a useful way to protect cultured fish from rhabdoviral diseases. In Korea, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) genotype IVa has been the primary culprit of high mortalities of cultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). In this study, we inserted a miR-155-expressing cassette into the VHSV's G protein-based DNA vaccine, and analyzed the effects of miR-155 on the antiviral activity and on the vaccine efficacy in olive flounder. Olive flounder fingerlings were intramuscularly (i.m.) immunized with 10 μg/fish (1st experiment) or 1 μg/fish (2nd experiment) of DNA vaccine plasmids. However, there were no significant differences in mortalities and serum neutralization titers between fish immunized with 1 μg and 10 μg plasmids/fish, suggesting that i.m. injection with 1 μg plasmids/fish would be enough to induce effective adaptive immune responses in olive flounder fingerlings. In survival rates, as fish immunized with just G protein expressing plasmids showed no or too low mortalities, the adjuvant effect of miR-155 was not discernible. Also, in the serum neutralization activities, although G gene or G gene plus miR-155 expressing DNA vaccines induced significantly higher activities than control vaccines (PBS and vacant vector), no significant differences were found between G gene alone and G gene plus miR-155 expressing DNA vaccines. In the serum virucidal activity, fish immunized with G gene plus miR-155 expressing DNA vaccine showed significantly higher activity against hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) at 3 days post-immunization (d.p.i.) compared to other groups, suggesting that miR-155 produced from the vector can enhance innate immune responses in olive flounder. The significantly enhanced serum virucidal activities against VHSV especially at 28 d.p.i. in the groups immunized with G gene alone and G gene plus miR-155 expressing DNA vaccines reflect the increased antibodies against G protein, which could activate the classical complement pathway and subsequent viral inactivation. As the available information on the DNA vaccines in olive flounder is not sufficient, more diverse researches on the protective efficacy of DNA vaccines are needed to make more practical use of DNA vaccines in olive flounder farms.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 86:525-535. [PMID: 30521967 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.11.080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Revised: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 11/30/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
CC chemokines are a large subfamily of chemokines that play an important role in the innate immune system. To date, several CC chemokines have been identified in fish species; however, the activities and functions of these putative chemokines remain ambiguous in teleosts, especially in the golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus. Here, we characterized CC chemokine ligand 4 from T. ovatus (TroCCL4) and studied its functions. TroCCL4 contains a 294 bp open reading frame that encodes a putative peptide comprising 97 amino acids. TroCCL4 shares a high amino acid sequence similarity of 31.11%-78.35% with other CC chemokines sequences in humans and teleosts and has four cysteine residues that are conserved among other CC chemokines. TroCCL4 is also related to the macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP) group of CC chemokines. TroCCL4 expression was most abundant in immune organs and significantly upregulated in a time-dependent manner following Edwardsiella tarda infection. Recombinant TroCCL4 (rTroCCL4) induced the migration of peripheral blood leukocytes and the cellular proliferation of head kidney lymphocytes. In addition, rTroCCL4 inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and E. tarda, indicating an antimicrobial function. Furthermore, the results of in vivo analysis showed that TroCCL4 overexpression in T. ovatus significantly enhanced macrophage activation; upregulated the gene expression of interleukin 1-β (IL-1β), interleukin 15 (IL15), interferon-induced Mx protein (Mx), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), complement C3, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Iα and class IIα; and protected against bacterial infection in fish tissues. In contrast, knockdown of TroCCL4 expression resulted in increased bacterial dissemination and colonization in fish tissues. Taken together, our results provide evidence indicating that TroCCL4 has the ability to stimulate leukocytes and macrophages and enhance host immunity to defend against bacterial infection.
