[PMID: 39047452 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2024.110189] [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: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), which poses substantial threats to the global pig industry, is primarily characterized by interstitial pneumonia. Cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163) is the essential receptor for PRRSV infection. Metalloproteinase-mediated cleavage of CD163 leads to the shedding of soluble CD163 (sCD163), thereby inhibiting PRRSV proliferation. However, the exact cleavage site in CD163 and the potential role of sCD163 in inflammatory responses during PRRSV infection remain unclear. Herein, we found that PRRSV infection increased sCD163 levels, as demonstrated in primary alveolar macrophages (PAMs), immortalized PAM (IPAM) cell lines, and sera from PRRSV-infected piglets. With LC-MS/MS, Arg-1041/Ser-1042 was identified as the cleavage site in porcine CD163, and an IPAM cell line with precise mutation at the cleavage site was constructed. Using the precisely mutated IPAM cells, we found that exogenous addition of sCD163 protein promoted inflammatory responses, while mutation at the CD163 cleavage site suppressed inflammatory responses. Consistently, inhibition of sCD163 using its neutralizing antibodies reduced PRRSV infection-triggered inflammatory responses. Importantly, sCD163 promoted cell polarization from M2 to M1 phenotype, which in turn facilitated inflammatory responses. Taken together, our findings identify sCD163 as a novel proinflammatory mediator and provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the induction of inflammatory responses by PRRSV infection.

Abstract
PRRSV (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus) is a major swine pathogen causing economic losses. To the date, effective broad PRRSV inhibitory strategies have not been available in practice yet. Targeting the key viral receptor CD163 to block PRRSV entry has emerged as an alternative approach beside vaccines for PRRSV inhibition. As an effective therapeutic tool, nanoantibodies (Nbs) have been widely used in antiviral research. In this study, a phage display VHH library was constructed for the selection of Nbs against porcine CD163 scavenger receptor cysteine-rich 5-9 domain (SRCR5-9). After five rounds of bio-panning and indirect ELISA, seven CD163-specific Nbs (Nb1-Nb7) were identified. All obtained Nbs displayed strong affinity to CD163 receptor and excellent antiviral activity. In particular, Nb2 exhibited significant broad inhibitory effects on variable PRRSV lineages and downregulated virus-related NF-κB signaling. Further studies suggested that Nbs mainly exerted antiviral functions by interfering with virus attachment stage, and also decreased the transcription of CD163. The conformational epitopes recognized by Nbs were localized in the SRCR5 domain of CD163, a crucial region in PRRSV infection. Overall, our findings provide a novel insight into the biofunction of CD163 in antiviral infection and the development of broad-spectrum strategies against PRRSV.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important pathogen. Although tremendous effort has been made for the vaccine development, only modified live vaccines are widely used with arguably limited efficacy. Our previous study showed that the Fc-fused first four Ig-like domains of Sn (Sn4D-Fc) and the SRCR domains 5-9 of CD163 (SRCR59-Fc) can act as PRRSV soluble receptors (VSRs). In this study, we improved the VSR-based anti-PRRSV strategy by taming their Fc domains. Sequence alignment showed that the CH3 domain of pig IgG1 contained five putative amino acids involved in the interaction with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). The M455L/N461S variant of SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc was created for the higher affinity of FcRn binding. Both rBac-SRCR59-lsFc/Sn4D-lsFc and rBac-SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc expressing the mutated or wild-type VSRs were generated for conceptual validation. Both immunofluorescence and Western blotting analysis showed that the two rBac vectors could express the encoded VSRs in cells with similar expression levels and anti-PRRSV effects. In the rBac-injected mice, the expression of SRCR59-lsFc/Sn4D-lsFc was significantly prolonged than that of SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc. Both plasma stability and serum half-life of the purified SRCR59-lsFc/Sn4D-lsFc were significantly improved than that of SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc. SRCR59-lsFc/Sn4D-lsFc-treated peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed significantly stronger cytotoxicity on PRRSV-infected primary alveolar macrophages than SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc-treated cells. For the first time, we demonstrated that both half-life and effector function of pig IgG Fc-fused proteins could be significantly improved by taming their CH3 domains. The rBac-SRCR59-lsFc/Sn4D-lsFc could be further developed as a novel anti-PRRSV reagent.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has plagued the pig industry for more than 30 years and causes great economic losses. At present different commercial vaccines are available but limited tools. Until now at least six potential host factors are identified as the key receptors for PRRSV infection. Among them, CD163 molecule is the most important and critical in PRRSV life cycle responsible for mediating virus uncoating and genome release. It determines the susceptibility of target cells to the virus. Several PRRSV non-permissive cells (such as PK-15, 3D4/21, and BHK-21) are demonstrated to become completely susceptible to PRRSV infection in the presence of expression of porcine CD163 protein. Therefore, CD163 has become the target for the design of novel antiviral molecules disrupting the interaction between CD163 and viral glycoproteins, or the breeding of gene-modified animals against PRRSV infection. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent progress in inhibition of PRRSV replication via targeting CD163 receptor. In addition, whether there are other potential molecules interacting with CD163 in the process of uncoating of virus life cycle is also discussed.

Activating Fc Gamma Receptors and Viral Receptors Are Required for Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Infection. Vet Sci 2022; 9:vetsci9090470.

Abstract
Simple Summary Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-specific sub- or non-neutralizing antibodies promote the adhesion and internalization of the virion into host cells. This phenomenon is known as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of PRRSV infection. It has long been accepted that Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) are responsible for mediating ADE of virus infection. However, few researchers pay attention to the role of the virus receptors in the ADE of virus infection. In this study, we showed that activating FcγRs (FcγRI and FcγRIII) were responsible for mediating PRRSV-ADE infection. Simultaneously, we showed that the viral receptors (sialoadhesin and CD163) were involved in FcγR-mediated PRRSV-ADE infection. The extracellular domains 1-6 of sialoadhesin and the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich 5 domain of CD163 might play central roles in PRRSV-ADE infection. In conclusion, our studies indicated that activating FcγRs and virus receptors were required for PRRSV-ADE infection. Our findings should allow a more precise understanding of the structural basis for the mechanism of PRRSV-ADE infection, which would provide references for screening targets of novel PRRS vaccines or antiviral drugs against the PRRSV. Abstract Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is an event in preexisting sub-, or non-neutralizing antibodies increasing the viral replication in its target cells. ADE is one crucial factor that intensifies porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection and results in PRRSV-persistent infection. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms of PRRSV-ADE infection are poorly understood. In the current research, the results of the ADE assay showed that porcine immunoglobulin G (IgG) specific for the PRRSV significantly enhanced PRRSV proliferation in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), suggesting that the ADE activity of PRRSV infection existed in pig anti-PRRSV IgG. The results of the RNA interference assay showed that knockdown of the Fc gamma receptor I (FcγRI) or FcγRIII gene significantly suppressed the ADE activity of PRRSV infection in PAMs, suggesting that FcγRI and FcγRIII were responsible for mediating PRRSV-ADE infection. In addition, the results of the antibody blocking assay showed that specific blocking of the Sn1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 extracellular domain of the sialoadhesin (Sn) protein or selective blockade of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) 5 domain of the CD163 molecule significantly repressed the ADE activity of PRRSV infection in PAMs, suggesting that Sn and CD163 were involved in FcγR-mediated PRRSV-ADE infection. The Sn1–6 domains of porcine Sn protein and the SRCR 5 domain of porcine CD163 molecule might play central roles in the ADE of PRRSV infection. In summary, our studies indicated that activating FcγRs (FcγRI and FcγRIII) and viral receptors (Sn and CD163) were required for ADE of PRRSV infection. Our findings provided a new insight into PRRSV infection that could be enhanced by FcγRs and PRRSV receptors-mediated PRRSV-antibody immune complexes (ICs), which would deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of PRRSV-persistent infection via the ADE pathway.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by PRRS virus (PRRSV), is a highly contagious disease that brings tremendous economic losses to the global swine industry. As an intracellular obligate pathogen, PRRSV infects specific host cells to complete its replication cycle. PRRSV attachment to and entry into host cells are the first steps to initiate the replication cycle and involve multiple host cellular factors. In this review, we recapitulated recent advances on host cellular factors involved in PRRSV attachment and entry, and reappraised their functions in these two stages, which will deepen the understanding of PRRSV infection and provide insights to develop promising antiviral strategies against the virus.

Abstract
Cellular receptors play a critical role in viral infection. At least seven cellular molecules have been identified as putative viral entry mediators for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Accumulating data indicate that among these candidates, CD163, a cysteine-rich scavenger receptor on macrophages, is the major receptor for PRRSV. This review discusses the recent advances and understanding of the entry of PRRSV into cells, viral pathogenesis in CD163 gene-edited swine, and CD163 as a potential target of receptor–ligand for the control of PRRS.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an economically important pathogen affecting global swine industry. Our recent study has shown that the first four Ig-like domains of sialoadhesin (Sn4D) and the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains 5-9 (SRCR59) of CD163 can act as the soluble viral receptors (SVRs) of PRRSV. Co-injection with the two SVR-expressing recombinant adenovirus (rAd) vectors can protect pigs from the lethal challenge with three PRRSV strains. However, the in vivo expression of the two SVRs persists for only two weeks and thus their long-term anti-PRRSV effects remain to be improved. In this study, we fused the two SVRs with a flexible linker or self-cleaving peptide and expressed them with a single recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector. The two rAAVs, namely rAAV-Sn4D-SRCR59-Fc and rAAV-SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc, were generated by using baculovirus-insect cell system. Western blotting analysis showed that the two SVR fusions were efficiently expressed in and secreted from the rAAV-transduced cells. Viral infection blocking assay showed that PRRSV titers in porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) cells were reduced by 1.6-2.7 log10 after co-cultivation with rAAV-Sn4D-SRCR59-Fc-transduced cells or by 1.9-3.2 log10 after co-cultivation with rAAV-SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc-transduced cells. After single-dose injection of mice with the rAAV vectors, the expression of two SVR fusions persisted for at least 35 days, which was significantly longer than SRCR59-Fc expression in rAd-SRCR59-Fc-injected mice. Among the two SVR fusions expressed, both expression level and anti-PRRSV activity of SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc were higher than that of Sn4D-SRCR59-Fc. Therefore, rAAV-SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc generated can be developed as a novel anti-PRRSV reagent.

Abstract
CD163 has been identified as the essential receptor for Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRSV), a major etiologic agent of pigs. Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain 5–9 (SRCR5–9) in CD163 was shown to be responsible for the virus interaction. In this study, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 6E8 and 9A10 against SRCR5–9 were selected based on the significant activity to inhibit PRRSV infection in Porcine Alveolar Macrophage (PAMs) and Marc-145. Both mAbs are capable of blocking variable PRRSV strains in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, as candidates for both prevention and therapeutics, the antibodies successfully inhibit PRRSV infection and the related NF-κB pathway either before or after virus attachment. Besides, the antibody treatment with either mAb leads to a remarkable decrease of CD163 transcription in PAMs and Marc-145. It is potentially caused by the excessive accumulation of membrane associated CD163 due to the failure in CD163 cleavage with the antibody binding. Further, conformational epitopes targeted by 6E8 and 9A10 are identified to be spanning residues 570SXDVGXV576 in SRCR5 and Q797 in SRCR7, respectively. CD163 with mutated epitopes expressed in 3D4 cells fails to support PRRSV infection while wild type CD163 recovers PRRSV infection, indicating the critical role of these residues in PRRSV invasion. These findings promote the understanding in the interaction between PRRSV and the receptor and provide novel broad antiviral strategies for PRRSV prevention and treatment via alternative mechanisms.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) serves as an anti-inflammatory receptor, negatively regulating the innate immune response. TREM2 is mainly expressed on dendritic cells and macrophages, the target cells of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Thus, we investigated the potential role of TREM2 in PRRSV infection in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). We found that there was an increased expression of TREM2 upon PRRSV infection in vitro. TREM2 silencing restrained the replication of PRRSV, whereas TREM2 overexpression facilitated viral replication. The cytoplasmic tail domain of TREM2 interacted with PRRSV Nsp2 to promote infection. TREM2 downregulation led to early activation of PI3K/NF-κB signaling, thus reinforcing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. Due to the enhanced cytokine expression, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 was activated to promote the cleavage of membrane CD163, which resulted in suppression of infection. Furthermore, exogenous soluble TREM2 (sTREM2)-mediated inhibition of PRRSV attachment might be attributed to its competitive binding to viral envelope proteins. In pigs, following PRRSV challenge in vivo, the expression of TREM2 in lungs and lymph nodes as well as the production of sTREM2 were significantly increased. These novel findings indicate that TREM2 plays a role in regulating PRRSV replication via the inflammatory response. Therefore, our work describes a novel antiviral mechanism against PRRSV infection and suggests that targeting TREM2 could be a new approach in the control of the PRRSV infection.

Abstract
Siglecs are sialic acid (Sia) recognizing immunoglobulin-like receptors expressed on the surface of all the major leukocyte lineages in mammals. Siglecs recognize ubiquitous Sia epitopes on various glycoconjugates in the cell glycocalyx and transduce signals to regulate immunological and inflammatory activities of these cells. The subset known as CD33-related Siglecs is principally inhibitory receptors that suppress leukocyte activation, and recent research has shown that a number of bacterial pathogens use Sia mimicry to engage these Siglecs as an immune evasion strategy. Conversely, Siglec-1 is a macrophage phagocytic receptor that engages GBS and other sialylated bacteria to promote effective phagocytosis and antigen presentation for the adaptive immune response, whereas certain viruses and parasites use Siglec-1 to gain entry to immune cells as a proximal step in the infectious process. Siglecs are positioned in crosstalk with other host innate immune sensing pathways to modulate the immune response to infection in complex ways. This chapter summarizes the current understanding of Siglecs at the host-pathogen interface, a field of study expanding in breadth and medical importance, and which provides potential targets for immune-based anti-infective strategies.

Front Microbiol 2020; 10:3115. [PMID: 32038556 PMCID: PMC6990145 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.03115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Porcine alveolar macrophages without the CD163 SRCR5 domain are resistant to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. However, whether the deletion of CD163 SRCR5 in MARC-145 cells confers resistance to PRRSV and interaction of which of the host proteins with CD163 is involved in virus uncoating remain unclear. Here we deleted the SRCR5 domain of CD163 in MARC-145 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a CD163ΔSRCR5 MARC-145 cell line. The modification of CD163 had no impact on CD163 expression. CD163ΔSRCR5 cells were completely resistant to infection by PRRSV-2 strains Li11, CHR6, TJM, and VR2332. The modified cells showed no cytokine response to PRRSV-2 infection and maintained normal cell vitality comparable with the WT cells. The resistant phenotype of the cells was stably maintained through cell passages. There were no replication transcription complexes in the CD163ΔSRCR5 cells. SRCR5 deletion did not disturb the colocalization of CD163 and PRRSV-N in early endosomes (EE). However, the interaction of the viral proteins GP2a, GP3, or GP5 with CD163, which is involved in virus uncoating was affected. Furthermore, 77 CD163-binding cellular proteins affected by the SRCR5 deletion were identified by LC–MS/MS. Inhibition of calpain 1 trapped the virions in EE and forced then into late endosomes but did not block viral attachment and internalization, suggesting that calpain 1 is involved in the uncoating. Overall, CD163ΔSRCR5 MARC-145 cells are fully resistant to PRRSV-2 infection and calpain 1 is identified as a novel host protein that interacts with CD163 to facilitate PRRSV uncoating.

Abstract
Porcine sialoadhesin (pSn) is a crucial porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) receptor mediating the attachment and internalization of virus into its major target cells, porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). However, the role of pSn in innate antiviral immune response has not yet been investigated. In this study, our results showed that PRRSV down-regulated significantly the mRNA levels of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, IFN-λ1, IFN-λ3 and IFN-λ4 and up-regulated significantly the mRNA levels of IL-10 and pSn in infected PAMs in vitro, suggesting that PRRSV infection inhibited the transcription of innate antiviral cytokines in host cells. Our results also showed that selective activation of pSn down-regulated significantly the mRNA levels of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, IFN-λ1, IFN-λ3, IFN-λ4 and TNF-α and up-regulated significantly the mRNA level of IL-10 in PAMs in vitro, suggesting that pSn signaling inhibited the transcription of innate antiviral cytokines. Further results showed that pSn1, pSn2, pSn3, pSn4 and pSn5 domains of pSn were responsible for the inhibition of levels of innate antiviral cytokines. In conclusion, our results suggested that pSn suppressed innate antiviral immune response by down-regulating the levels of innate antiviral cytokines in PAMs. It was possible that PRRSV-pSn interaction may suppress innate antiviral immune response to PRRSV infection by repressing the production of innate antiviral cytokines.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2)-associated diseases affect the swine industry worldwide. Vaccination is the major tool for the disease control, but the vaccine production is hindered by lower propagation rate of PCV2 in vitro. Previous studies showed that interferons (IFNs) can increase PCV2 yield in PK-15 cells. In the present study, we constructed a Sleepy Beauty (SB) transposon vector expressing porcine IFNg gene fused with the coding sequence for immunoglobulin G Fc domain. After dilution cloning, the transposon and transposase vectors were co-transfected into PK-15 cell clones with higher permissivity to PCV2 infection. Two transgenic PK-15 cell lines, namely PK15-IFNgRan and PK15-IFNgSB which contained randomly integrated transfer vector or SB cassette without selection marker, were screened by PCR analysis. The characterization results demonstrated that the two transgenic cell lines can stably express IFNg-Fc fusion protein with potent antiviral activities. Both viral titration and quantitative PCR analyses showed that the two transgenic cell lines are highly permissive to PCV2 infection with significantly increased viral yields. These results indicate that the two transgenic PK-15 cell lines, PK15-IFNgSB in particular, can be used for PCV2 vaccine development.

Abstract
The cellular marker CD163 is a type 1 transmembrane scavenger protein found either on the surface of antigen-presenting cells or in a soluble form (sCD163), released in response to inflammation. Despite an obligatory role in porcine reproductive and respiratory virus (PRRSV) infection, information on sCD163 as a biomarker of disease outcome in swine remains limited. In the present study, we developed a sandwich ELISA using an anti-bovine CD163 antibody, LND68A, in conjunction with the porcine specific 2A10/11 antibody. The ELISA demonstrated that CD163 shedding from porcine alveolar macrophages increased following in vitro exposure to lipopolysaccharide or PRRSV-2 strain NVSL 97-7895. Evaluation of serum sCD163 in healthy feeder pigs identified a significant age effect with concentration rising after birth to a peak at day 19 (P < 0.05) followed by a sharp decline to a minimal level of detection at 9 weeks of age (P < 0.05). Healthy sows showed substantial variation but no significant change in average concentration between early and late lactation. The serum concentration of sCD163 from pigs with homozygous gene edits disrupting translation of the CD163 protein was below the threshold of detection. However, when reformatted as a competitive ELISA the assay identified an interfering substance consistent with the release of a truncated form of the CD163 protein in sera from gene edited animals. With sCD163 shown to be both dynamic and responsive, the described ELISA represents a novel tool for investigation of this molecule as a potential biomarker of disease response in the pig.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most important swine diseases affecting pig industry worldwide. Sialoadehesin (Sn) and CD163 are the two specific receptors for PRRSV infection of porcine alveolar macrophages. Our previous study showed that the soluble Sn receptor Sn4D-Fc and soluble CD163 receptor SRCR59-Fc expressed by the two recombinant adenoviral (rAd) vectors have an additive anti-PRRSV effect in vitro. In the present study, rAd-Sn4D-Fc and rAd-SRCR59-Fc were inoculated into pigs, and the efficient expression of Sn4D-Fc and SRCR59-Fc proteins was detected by ELISA. Then, PRRSV-naïve pigs were inoculated with rAd-Sn4D-Fc and/or rAd-SRCR59-Fc before contagious infection with different PRRSV strains. Among the three rAd inoculation groups, simultaneous inoculation with the two rAd vectors provided the best protection against highly pathogenic JXA1 strain PRRSV, followed by rAd-SRCR59-Fc inoculation and rAd-Sn4D-Fc inoculation. Clinical observation and quantitative RT-PCR analyses showed that all of the double rAd-inoculated pigs (n = 9) survived from the contagious infection with highly pathogenic JXA1, JS07 or SH1705 strain PRRSV with significantly alleviated clinical scores, viremia, fecal viral emission and tissue virus loads. These data suggest that rAd-Sn4D-Fc and rAd-SRCR59-Fc can be developed further as the universal therapeutic vaccine to facilitate PRRSV eradication.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most significant and economically important infectious diseases affecting swine worldwide and can predispose pigs to secondary bacterial infections caused by, e.g. Haemophilus parasuis. The aim of the presented study was to compare susceptibility of two different types of macrophages which could be in contact with both pathogens during infection with PRRS virus (PRRSV) and in co-infection with H. parasuis. Alveolar macrophages (PAMs) as resident cells provide one of the first lines of defence against microbes invading lung tissue. On the other hand, monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) represent inflammatory cells accumulating at the site of inflammation. While PAMs were relatively resistant to cytopathogenic effect caused by PRRSV, MDMs were much more sensitive to PRRSV infection. MDMs infected with PRRSV increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bad, Bax and p53 mRNA. Increased mortality of MDMs may be also related to a higher intensity of ROS production after infection with PRRSV. In addition, MDMs (but not PAMs) infected with H. parasuis alone formed multinucleated giant cells (MGC); these cells were not observed in MDMs infected with both pathogens. Higher sensitivity of MDMs to PRRSV infection, which is associated with limited MDMs survival and restriction of MGC formation, could contribute to the development of multifactorial respiratory disease of swine.

The Crystal Structure of the Fifth Scavenger Receptor Cysteine-Rich Domain of Porcine CD163 Reveals an Important Residue Involved in Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Infection. J Virol 2017; 91:JVI.01897-16. [PMID: 27881657 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01897-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2016] [Accepted: 11/18/2016] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has become an economically critical factor in swine industry since its worldwide spread in the 1990s. Infection by its causative agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV), was proven to be mediated by an indispensable receptor, porcine CD163 (pCD163), and the fifth scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain (SRCR5) is essential for virus infection. However, the structural details and specific residues of pCD163 SRCR5 involved in infection have not been defined yet. In this study, we prepared recombinant pCD163 SRCR5 in Drosophila melanogaster Schneider 2 (S2) cells and determined its crystal structure at a high resolution of 2.0 Å. This structure includes a markedly long loop region and shows a special electrostatic potential, and these are significantly different from those of other members of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily (SRCR-SF). Subsequently, we carried out structure-based mutational studies to identify that the arginine residue at position 561 (Arg561) in the long loop region is important for PRRSV infection. Further, we showed Arg561 probably takes effect on the binding of pCD163 to PRRSV during virus invasion. Altogether the current work provides the first view of the CD163 SRCR domain, expands our knowledge of the invasion mechanism of PRRSV, and supports a molecular basis for prevention and control of the virus. IMPORTANCE PRRS has caused huge economic losses to pig farming. The syndrome is caused by PRRSV, and PRRSV infection has been shown to be mediated by host cell surface receptors. One of them, pCD163, is especially indispensable, and its SRCR5 domain has been further demonstrated to play a significant role in virus infection. However, its structural details and the residues involved in infection are unknown. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of pCD163 SRCR5 and then carried out site-directed mutational studies based on the crystal structure to elucidate which residue is important. Our work not only provides structural information on the CD163 SRCR domain for the first time but also indicates the molecular mechanism of PRRSV infection and lays a foundation for future applications in prevention and control of PRRS.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has a restricted cell tropism and prefers to invade well-differentiated cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage, such as pulmonary alveolar macrophages and African green monkey kidney cell line MA-104 and its derivatives, such as Marc-145, Vero and CL-2621. PRRSV infection of the host cells actually is a receptor-mediated endocytosis and replication process. The presence and absence of the cellular receptors decide whether the cell lines are permissive or non-permissive to PRRSV infection. Several PRRSV non-permissive cell lines, such as BHK-21, PK-15 and CHO-K1, have been shown to become sensitive to the virus infection upon expression of the recombinant receptor proteins. Up to now, heparin sulfate, sialoadhesin, CD163, CD151 and vimentin have been identified as the important PRRSV receptors via their involvement in virus attachment, internalization or uncoating. Each receptor is characterized by the distribution in different cells, the function in virus different infection stages and the interaction model with the viral proteins or genes. Joint forces of the receptors recently attract attentions due to the specific function. PRRSV receptors have become the targets for designing the new anti-viral reagents or the recombinant cell lines used for isolating the viruses or developing more effective vaccines due to their more conserved sequences compared with the genetic variation of the virus. In this paper, the role of PRRSV receptors and the molecular mechanism of the interaction between the virus and the receptors are reviewed.

Abstract
Background The current vaccines failed to provide substantial protection against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and the new vaccine development faces great challenges. Sialoadhesin (Sn) and CD163 are the two key receptors for PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), but the artificial microRNA (amiRNA) strategy targeting two viral receptors has not been described. Methods The candidate miRNAs targeting Sn or CD163 receptor were predicted using a web-based miRNA design tool and validated by transfection of cells with each amiRNA expression vector plus the reporter vector. The amiRNA-expressing recombinant adenoviruses (rAds) were generated using AdEasy Adenoviral Vector System. The rAd transduction efficiencies for pig cells were measured by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy. The expression and exosome-mediated secretion of amiRNAs were detected by RT-PCR. The knock-down of Sn or CD163 receptor by rAd- and/or exosome-delivered amiRNA was detected by quantitative RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The additive anti-PRRSV effect between the two amiRNAs was detected by quantitative RT-PCR and viral titration. Results All 18 amiRNAs validated were effective against Sn or CD163 receptor mRNA expression. Two rAds expressing Sn- or CD163-targeted amiRNA were generated for further study. The maximal rAd transduction efficiency was 62% for PAMs at MOI 800 or 100% for PK-15 cells at MOI 100. The sequence-specific amiRNAs were expressed efficiently in and secreted from the rAd-transduced cells via exosomes. The expression of Sn and CD163 receptors was inhibited significantly by rAd transduction and/or amiRNA-containing exosome treatment at mRNA and protein levels. Both PRRSV ORF7 copy number and viral titer were reduced significantly by transduction of PAMs with the two rAds and/or by treatment with the two amiRNA-containing exosomes. The additive anti-PRRSV effect between the two amiRNAs was relatively long-lasting (96 h) and effective against three different viral strains. Conclusion These results suggested that Sn- and CD163-targeted amiRNAs had an additive anti-PRRSV effect against different viral strains. Our findings provide new evidence supporting the hypothesis that exosomes can also serve as an efficient small RNA transfer vehicle for pig cells.
