Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:940906. [PMID: 35873170 PMCID: PMC9304859 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.940906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) could cause acute infection in host cells, or they could coexist with host cells to generate persistent infection. In persistent infection, the virus could survive for a long time in the host and could be transmitted between different host cells. In the case of FMDV-persistent infection cell line, there is a remarkable significant cellular heterogeneity in the FMDV-persistent infection cell line due to differences of viral load in the individual cells within the cell line. However, the mechanisms of FMDV-persistent infection are not well understood. It is now generally accepted that multiple factors contribute to the coevolution of viruses and cells during the course of persistent infection. The outcome would influence the development of persistent FMDV infection conjointly, reaching a state of equilibrium ultimately. Therefore, in order to elucidate the mechanism of cellular heterogeneity in FMDV-persistent infection cell line, single-cell sequencing was performed on BHK-Op, and pseudotime trajectory plot was draw through cell cluster. Based on the cell clusters, we predicted the development and progression of the FMDV-persistent infection. It could be well explained by the fact that, in BHK-Op cells, there are a fraction of infected cells and a fraction of virus-exposed but uninfected bystander cells. By further comparing the transcripts in cell clusters, we found that these genes were involved in changes in ribosome biogenesis, cell cycle, and intracellular signaling including the interferon signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Through comprehensive cross-tabulation analysis of differential expressed genes in various cluster of cells, we identified a high association of Fos, a downstream transcription factor of the MAPK/extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway, with viral replication during the formation of FMDV-persistent infection. Through the further study of Fos, we found that downregulation of Fos facilitates viral clearance during FMDV-persistent infection. Upregulation of c-Raf, which is the upstream of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, could promote FMDV replication through downregulation of Fos. Our research is the first to provide insight into the mechanism of the formation FMDV-persistent infection through single-cell sequencing using persistent infection cell line. Pseudotime trajectory analysis was the first time to apply for FMDV-persistent infection cell line. Our work highlights the detailed overview of the evolution of FMDV-persistent infection. We also analyzed the differential expressed genes in the replication or elimination of FMDV within the host. We found that the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and its downstream transcription factor Fos play an important role in FMDV-persistent infection.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection can be either persistent or acute in susceptible animals. The mechanisms involved in FMDV replication and clearance during persistent infection remain unclear. To identify host factors that are critical for FMDV replication during persistent infection, we used RNA-seq to compare the transcriptomes of infected (BHK-Op) cells and bystander (BHK-VEC) cells, which are exposed to FMDV but not infected. In total, 1917 genes were differentially expressed between BHK-Op cells and BHK-VEC cells, which were involved in ribosome biogenesis, cell cycle, and dilated cardiomyopathy. We further identified host genes potentially involved in viral clearance during persistent FMDV infection by comprehensive crossover analysis of differentially expressed genes in ancestral host cells, evolved infected host cells, and evolved bystander cells, which are resistant to infection by wild-type FMDV and FMDV-Op that co-evolved with host cells during persistent infection. Among the identified genes were Cav1 and Ccnd1. Subsequent experiments showed that knockdown of Cav1 and Ccnd1 in host cells significantly promoted and inhibited FMDV replication, respectively, confirming that the overexpression of Cav1 and the downregulation of Ccnd1 contribute to virus clearance during persistent FMDV infection. In addition, we found that BHK-Op cells contained mixtures of multiple genotypes of FMDV viruses, shedding light on the diversity of FMDV genotypes during persistent infection. Our findings provide a detailed overview of the responses of infected cells and bystander cells to persistent FMDV infection.

Abstract
The existence of a prolonged, subclinical phase of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection in cattle was first recognized in the 1950s. Since then, the FMDV carrier state has been a subject of controversy amongst scientists and policymakers. A fundamental conundrum remains in the discordance between the detection of infectious FMDV in carriers and the apparent lack of contagiousness to in-contact animals. Although substantial progress has been made in elucidating the causal mechanisms of persistent FMDV infection, there are still critical knowledge gaps that need to be addressed in order to elucidate, predict, prevent, and model the risks associated with the carrier state. This is further complicated by the occurrence of a distinct form of neoteric subclinical infection, which is indistinguishable from the carrier state in field scenarios, but may have substantially different epidemiological properties. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge of the FMDV carrier state and identifies specific areas of research in need of further attention. Findings from experimental investigations of FMDV pathogenesis are discussed in relation to experience gained from field studies of foot-and-mouth disease.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) rapidly causes cytopathic effects in susceptible cells. Incomplete viral clearance during the acute infection leads to persistent infection. The relationship between host gene expression and the persistent infection remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome profiles of BHK-21 cells acutely and persistently infected with FMDV to identify differences in gene expression. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the 8,378 differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in categories including metabolism, biosynthesis, ribosome function, and endocytosis. In persistently infected BHK-21 cells, ribosome- and translation-related genes were significantly down-regulated. There were more differentially expressed immune-related genes during persistent infection than during acute infection. Two hundred and seventy-four genes were differentially expressed in both acutely and persistently infected BHK-21 cells. Among these genes, heat shock protein family B member 1 (Hspb1) knockdown significantly inhibited FMDV replication. Our research provides a basis for further research to understand the mechanisms of persistent FMDV infection including the genes involved in FMDV replication.

Transcriptome analysis reveals differential immune related genes expression in bovine viral diarrhea virus-2 infected goat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). BMC Genomics 2019; 20:516. [PMID: 31226933 PMCID: PMC6588900 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-5830-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Accepted: 05/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important viral pathogen of domestic and wild ruminants. Apart from cattle, small ruminants (goats and sheep) are also the susceptible hosts for BVDV. BVDV infection could interfere both of the innate and adaptive immunity of the host, while the genes and mechanisms responsible for these effects have not yet been fully understood. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) play a pivotal role in the immune responses to viral infection, and these cells were the target of BVDV infection. In the present study, the transcriptome of goat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) infected with BVDV-2 was explored by using RNA-Seq technology. Results Goat PBMCs were successfully infected by BVDV-2, as determined by RT-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). RNA-Seq analysis results at 12 h post-infection (hpi) revealed 499 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, fold-change ≥ ± 2, p < 0.05) between infected and mock-infected PBMCs. Of these genes, 97 were up-regulated and the remaining 352 genes were down-regulated. The identified DEGs were found to be significantly enriched for locomotion/ localization, immune response, inflammatory response, defense response, regulation of cytokine production, etc., under GO enrichment analysis. Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, TNF signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, etc., were found to be significantly enriched in KEGG pathway database. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis indicated most of the DEGs related to innate or adaptive immune responses, inflammatory response, and cytokine/chemokine-mediated signaling pathway. TNF, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12B, GM-CSF, ICAM1, EDN1, CCL5, CCL20, CXCL10, CCL2, MAPK11, MAPK13, CSF1R and LRRK1 were located in the core of the network and highly connected with other DGEs. Conclusions BVDV-2 infection of goat PBMCs causes the transcription changes of a series of DEGs related to host immune responses, including inflammation, defense response, cell locomotion, cytokine/chemokine-mediated signaling, etc. The results will be useful for exploring and further understanding the host responses to BVDV-2 infection in goats.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) has a wide host range. Its pathogenesis varies among hosts and types of viruses. Most investigations of pathogenesis have been performed on cattle and swine. However, FMDV research in cattle is hampered by the lack of a stable in vitro infection model. In this study, the stable bovine thyroid (BTY) cell line hTERT-BTY from primary BTY cells was established by telomerase reverse transcriptase over expression. The results of karyotype analysis and experiments on morphological and biological characteristics indicated that this cell line possessed the qualities of primary BTY cells, which could be extended indefinitely with stable morphology and steady growth rates. The hTERT-BTY cell line, has 60 chromosomes including 29 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes without structure aberrations. It can express thyroid-specific function genes thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor and sodium/iodide symporter in high abundance ratios. The cell line is sensitive to FMDV strains and is expected to be used as a powerful tool for FMDV clinical diagnosis, separation, detection and culture. Also, the different mRNA expression levels in infected and uninfected hTERT-BTY cells were analyzed in this study to identify the pathways of immunity using RNA-seq. The results suggested that the hTERT-BTY cell line could be regarded as an effective tool for the immune response exploration of FMDV. In conclusion, this study provided a useful tool for FMDV clinical diagnosis, separation, detection, and culture. The cell line also could serve as an in vitro model to study the mechanism underlying FMDV pathogenicity and host–virus interaction.

Abstract
The innate immune system acts as the first line of defense against invasion by bacterial and viral pathogens. The role of macrophages in innate immune responses to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is poorly understood. To determine the mechanism underlying activation of innate immunity after FMDV infection in macrophages, we performed FMDV infection in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells and found that FMDV serotype O infection induced a cytopathic effect. We then evaluated the gene expression profile in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells after FMDV infection using systematic microarray analysis. Gene ontology annotation and enrichment analysis revealed that FMDV promoted expression in a group of genes that are enriched in innate immune response and inflammatory response processes. Further research demonstrated that FMDV serotype O infection enhanced NF-κB, Toll-like, and RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathways and proteins expression and increased transcription and expression of a series of cytokines and interferons, as proved by qRT-PCR, Western blot, ELISA, and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Our study concluded that FMDV infection triggers the innate immune response in macrophages after activation of multiple innate immune pathway receptors and proteins by FMDV serotype O, resulting in activation and secretion of a series of cytokines and interferons.

Single-cell analysis reveals the relevance of foot-and-mouth disease virus persistence to emopamil-binding protein gene expression in host cells. Arch Virol 2017; 162:3791-3802.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infects host cells in either an acute or persistent manner. In this study, we examined the relevance of the establishment of FMDV persistence to the expression of the emopamil-binding protein (EBP) gene in 231 individual persistently infected baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells after passages 28, 38, and 68 (PI28, PI38, and PI68). At PI28, the stage at which persistent infection of FDMV becomes unstable, the percentage of cells carrying FMDV was 66.7%, while 80.2% of cells were EBP positive. Additionally, in 55.6% of the EBP-positive cells at PI28, EBP expression was upregulated approximately 149.9% compared to uninfected BHK-21 cells. This was the highest expression level among all cell passages measured. Interestingly, in a parallel experiment, the average EBP expression level in the whole cell population at PI28 was only slightly higher (108.2%) than that in uninfected BHK-21 cells. At PI38, 98.7% of the cells were positive for FMDV 3D (an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme gene), and its maximum expression level observed at this passage. The expression level of EBP in 78.2% of the total cells, however, was reduced significantly. At PI68, 95.8% of the cells were 3D positive, and the expression of both the EBP and 3D genes were at the lowest levels of all the passages. Our studies using single cells yielded data that are otherwise inaccessible a using whole cell population. These results suggest that the establishment of persistent infection by FMDV is a dynamic process that results from the continuous adaptation and coevolution of viruses and cells to reach an equilibrium.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a significant zoonotic infectious disease. It has an important economic impact throughout the world. As well, it is a considerable threat to food security. At present, the molecular mechanism of FMDV infection is not clear to a large extent. Innate immune response is the first line of defense against infectious diseases. The systematic analysis of the host immune response to infection has an important role in understanding the pathogenesis of infection. However, there are few reports about effect of immune regulation on virus replication in the interaction of virus and host cellular. High-throughput RNA-seq technology as a powerful and efficient means for transcript analysis provides a new insight into FMDV study. In this study, RNA extracted from pig PBMCs infected with O subtype FMDV at 4 dpi. A total of 29942658 and 31452917 Illumina read pairs were obtained from the non-infected (NI) group and infected (I) group, respectively. The clean bases for all samples are 3.61G (NI group) and 3.79G (I group), respectively. The clean reads of the NI and I group that mapped to pig genome data were 47195073 (81.82%) and 46556714 (76.85%), respectively. Most of the clean reads were distributed in the exon region, followed by intron region and intergenic region. Differently expressed (DE) genes were analyzed using edgeR software. 451 genes were differentially expressed between the infected and the non-infected groups. According to the comparison analysis, more genes were down-regulated in the non-infected samples than in those infected with FMDV.66 out of 451 genes were down-regulated, 385 out of 451 genes were up-regulated following FMDV infection. For function classification and pathway analysis, among 17741 assembled unigenes, there are 349 genes which are different genes of GO notes. Moreover, 49 genes were down-regulated, 300 genes were up-regulated associate with GO term. 1621 were successfully annotated by GO assignments, belonging to one or more of the three categories: biological process, cellular component, and molecular function. According to KEGG analysis,the main pathway was represented including protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, phagosome, cell cycle and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Some key DE genes related to immune process and signaling pathways were analyzed and quantified by RT-PCR. This is the first systematical transcriptome analysis of pig PBMCs infected by FMDV. These findings will help us better understand the host Cell-FMDV interaction and its relationship to pathogenesis, as well as contribute to the prevention and control of FMDV.

Abstract
We assessed research knowledge gaps in the fields of FMDV (foot-and-mouth disease virus) pathogenesis and molecular biology by performing a literature review (2011-15) and collecting research updates (2014) from 33 institutes from across the world. Findings were used to identify priority areas for future research. There have been important advances in FMDV pathogenesis; FMDV remains in lymph nodes of many recovered animals that otherwise do not appear persistently infected, even in species previously not associated with the carrier state. Whether virus retention helps maintain host immunity and/or virus survival is not known. Studies of FMDV pathogenesis in wildlife have provided insights into disease epidemiology, in endemic and epidemic settings. Many aspects of FMDV infection and virus entry remain unknown; however, at the cellular level, we know that expression level and availability of integrins (that permit viral entry), rate of clearance of infected cells and strength of anti-viral type I IFN (interferon) response are key determinants of tissue tropism. Extending findings to improved understanding of transmission requires a standardized approach and adoption of natural routes of infection during experimental study. There has been recognition of the importance of autophagosomes for FMDV entry into the cytoplasm following cell surface receptor binding, and that distinct internal cellular membranes are exploited for viral replication and immune evasion. New roles for viral proteins in blocking type I IFN production and downstream signalling have been identified facilitating research in anti-viral therapeutics. We know more about how infection affects cell protein expression, and research into molecular determinants of capsid stability has aided the development of stable vaccines. We have an expanding knowledge of viral and host molecular determinates of virulence and infectiousness, and of how phylogenetics may be used to estimate vaccine match and strain distribution. With ongoing advances, these areas could translate into significantly improved disease control.

Abstract
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) can induce a host antiviral response to foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) in vivo and in vitro. To elucidate the mechanism of IFN-γ anti FMDV infection in host cells, high-throughput RNA sequencing was analyzed for systemic changes in gene expression profiles in PK15 cells infected by FMDV with or without IFN-γ pretreatment. More than 25 million reads, covering 1.2-1.5 Gb, were analyzed from each experiment panel. FMDV challenge altered the transcription of genes involved in positively and negatively regulating cell death or apoptosis; however, the expected immune suppression response was not obvious. IFN-γ pretreatment combined with FMDV infection normalized the increase in apoptosis. Furthermore, the transcription factors required for IFN-γ functioning, STAT1 and IRF1 were up-regulated by IFN-γ pretreatment and stimulated downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). These induced ISGs are mainly responsible for antigen processing, antigen presentation or antiviral defense. Interestingly, a synergistic effect on some ISGs, including OAS1, OAS2, MX1, MX2, RIG-I and IFIT1, was observed in the combined treatment compared to the IFN-γ treatment alone. The suggested effects identified by RNA sequencing were consistent with cellular morphology changes and confirmed by related protein markers. This is the first report exploring transcriptome alterations introduced by FMDV infection with or without IFN-γ pretreatment. The identified key host genes that control cell survival in vitro broaden our comprehensive understanding of how IFN-γ inhibits FMDV infection and may shed light on developing improved FMD control approaches.

Abstract
In addition to acute infection and disease, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) can cause persistent infection in ruminants. Such "carrier" animals represent a potential risk for FMDV transmission to susceptible animals. However, the mechanisms and the factors that determine FMDV persistence remain unknown. We describe here the establishment of FMDV type O persistent infection in a bovine epithelial cell line (Madin-Darby bovine kidney; MDBK). Preliminary experiments to assess the permissivity of MDBK cells to FMDV O infection revealed an unusual pattern of infection: after the initial phase of acute cell lysis, new monolayers formed within 48-72 h post-infection. We found that some cells survived cytolytic infection and subsequently regrew, thereby demonstrating that this bovine cell line can be persistently infected with FMDV type O. Further evidence that MDBK cells were persistently infected with FMDV includes: (i) detection of viral RNA in cells as well as in cell culture supernatants, (ii) detection of viral antigens in the cells by immunofluorescence analysis, and (iii) production of infectious viral particles for up to 36 cell passages. Furthermore, preliminary sequence analysis of persistent virus revealed a single nucleotide substitution within the VP1 coding region, resulting in the V50A amino acid substitution. This bovine model of FMDV persistence holds promise for the investigation of the viral and cellular molecular determinants that promote FMDV persistence.
