Abstract
Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) infection causes respiratory tract disorders and immune suppression and may induce bacterial pneumonia. BoHV-1 establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurons after acute infection. Reactivation from latency consistently occurs following stress or intravenous injection of the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone (DEX), which mimics stress. The immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) promoter drives expression of infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) and bICP4, two viral transcriptional regulators necessary for productive infection and reactivation from latency. The IEtu1 promoter contains two glucocorticoid receptor (GR) responsive elements (GREs) that are transactivated by activated GR. GC-rich motifs, including consensus binding sites for specificity protein 1 (Sp1), are in the IEtu1 promoter sequences. E2F family members bind a consensus sequence (TTTCCCGC) and certain specificity protein 1 (Sp1) sites. Consequently, we hypothesized that certain E2F family members activate IEtu1 promoter activity. DEX treatment of latently infected calves increased the number of E2F2+ TG neurons. GR and E2F2, but not E2F1, E2F3a, or E2F3b, cooperatively transactivate a 436-bp cis-regulatory module in the IEtu1 promoter that contains both GREs. A luciferase reporter construct containing a 222-bp fragment downstream of the GREs was transactivated by E2F2 unless two adjacent Sp1 binding sites were mutated. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies revealed that E2F2 occupied IEtu1 promoter sequences when the BoHV-1 genome was transfected into mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro-2A) or monkey kidney (CV-1) cells. In summary, these findings revealed that GR and E2F2 cooperatively transactivate IEtu1 promoter activity, which is predicted to influence the early stages of BoHV-1 reactivation from latency. IMPORTANCE Bovine alpha-herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) acute infection in cattle leads to establishment of latency in sensory neurons in the trigeminal ganglia (TG). A synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone consistently initiates BoHV-1 reactivation in latently infected calves. The BoHV-1 immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) promoter regulates expression of infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) and bICP4, two viral transcriptional regulators. Hence, the IEtu1 promoter must be activated for the reactivation to occur. The number of TG neurons expressing E2F2, a transcription factor and cell cycle regulator, increased during early stages of reactivation from latency. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and E2F2, but not E2F1, E2F3a, or E2F3b, cooperatively transactivated a 436-bp cis-regulatory module (CRM) in the IEtu1 promoter that contains two GR responsive elements. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies revealed that E2F2 occupies IEtu1 promoter sequences in cultured cells. GR and E2F2 mediate cooperative transactivation of IEtu1 promoter activity, which is predicted to stimulate viral replication following stressful stimuli.

Abstract
Cattle have a significant impact on human societies in terms of both economics and health. Viral infections pose a relevant problem as they directly or indirectly disrupt the balance within cattle populations. This has negative consequences at the economic level for producers and territories, and also jeopardizes human health through the transmission of zoonotic diseases that can escalate into outbreaks or pandemics. To establish prevention strategies and control measures at various levels (animal, farm, region, or global), it is crucial to identify the viral agents present in animals. Various techniques, including virus isolation, serological tests, and molecular techniques like PCR, are typically employed for this purpose. However, these techniques have two major drawbacks: they are ineffective for non-culturable viruses, and they only detect a small fraction of the viruses present. In contrast, metagenomics offers a promising approach by providing a comprehensive and unbiased analysis for detecting all viruses in a given sample. It has the potential to identify rare or novel infectious agents promptly and establish a baseline of healthy animals. Nevertheless, the routine application of viral metagenomics for epidemiological surveillance and diagnostics faces challenges related to socioeconomic variables, such as resource availability and space dedicated to metagenomics, as well as the lack of standardized protocols and resulting heterogeneity in presenting results. This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge and prospects for using viral metagenomics to detect and identify viruses in cattle raised for livestock, while discussing the epidemiological and clinical implications.

Abstract
Using marker vaccines to control bovine alphaherpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is a novel strategy for differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA). In this study, multiplex real-time PCR targeting gD and gE genes was applied for BoHV-1 screening on 60 clinical samples from cattle with a history of vaccination, in some cases by US2-deleted marker vaccines, that were suffering from severe respiratory symptoms. Conventional PCR targeting the gC and US2 flanking region was done for molecular characterization and identification of the US2-deleted vaccine strain. Six samples were positive for BoHV-1 by both RT-PCR and conventional PCR. Surprisingly, a conventional PCR DIVA trial based on the US2 gene revealed that only one sample that exhibited the US2 gene was a wild virus, while others that did not exhibit the US2 gene were vaccine viruses. Phylogenetic characterization classifies the samples as BoHV-1.1. This finding reveals the circulation of vaccine virus in field-diseased animals, which threatens the eradication program.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) is a pathogen of cattle responsible for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. The BoHV-1 UL49.5 is a transmembrane protein that binds to the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) and downregulates cell surface expression of the antigenic peptide complexes with the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I). KLHDC3 is a kelch domain-containing protein 3 and a substrate receptor of a cullin2-RING (CRL2) E3 ubiquitin ligase. Recently, it has been identified that CRL2KLHDC3 is responsible for UL49.5-triggered TAP degradation via a C-degron pathway and the presence of the degron sequence does not lead to the degradation of UL49.5 itself. The molecular modeling of KLHDC3 in complexes with four UL49.5 C-terminal decapeptides (one native protein and three mutants) revealed their activity to be closely correlated with the conformation which they adopt in KLHDC3 binding cleft. To analyze the interaction between UL49.5 and KLHDC3 in detail, in this work a total of 3.6 μs long molecular dynamics simulations have been performed. The complete UL49.5-KLHDC3 complexes were embedded into the fully hydrated all-atom lipid membrane model with explicit water molecules. The network of polar interactions has been proposed to be responsible for the recognition and binding of the degron in KLHDC3. The interaction network within the binding pocket appeared to be very similar between two CRL2 substrate receptors: KLHDC3 and KLHDC2.

Abstract
Bovine herpes virus 1 (BoHV-1) causes a wide variety of diseases in wild and domestic cattle. The most widely used method for viral identification is real-time PCR, which can only be performed in laboratories using sophisticated instruments by expert personnel. Herein, we developed an ultrasensitive time-resolved fluorescence lateral flow immunochromatographic strip (ICS) assay for detecting BoHV-1 in bovine samples using a monoclonal antibody against BoHV-1 labelled with fluorescent microspheres, which can be applied in any setting. The intact process from sample collection to final result can be achieved in 15 min. The limit of detection of the assay for BoHV-1 was 102 TCID50/100 μL. The coincidence rate of the ICS method and real-time PCR recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) was 100% for negative, 92.30% for positive, and 95.42% for total, as evaluated by the detection of 131 clinical samples. This detection method was specifically targeted to BoHV-1, not exhibiting cross-reactivity with other bovine pathogens including BoHV-5. We developed an ICS assay equipped with a portable instrument that offers a sensitive and specific platform for the rapid and reliable detection of BoHV-1 in the field. The Point-of-Care test of BoHV-1 is suitable for the screening and surveillance of BoHV-1 in dairy herds.

Validation of Candidate Host Cell Entry Factors for Bovine Herpes Virus Type-1 Based on a Genome-Wide CRISPR Knockout Screen. Viruses 2024; 16:297.

Abstract
To identify host factors that affect Bovine Herpes Virus Type 1 (BoHV-1) infection we previously applied a genome wide CRISPR knockout screen targeting all bovine protein coding genes. By doing so we compiled a list of both pro-viral and anti-viral proteins involved in BoHV-1 replication. Here we provide further analysis of those that are potentially involved in viral entry into the host cell. We first generated single cell knockout clones deficient in some of the candidate genes for validation. We provide evidence that Polio Virus Receptor-related protein (PVRL2) serves as a receptor for BoHV-1, mediating more efficient entry than the previously identified Polio Virus Receptor (PVR). By knocking out two enzymes that catalyze HSPG chain elongation, HST2ST1 and GLCE, we further demonstrate the significance of HSPG in BoHV-1 entry. Another intriguing cluster of candidate genes, COG1, COG2 and COG4-7 encode six subunits of the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex. MDBK cells lacking COG6 produced fewer but bigger plaques compared to control cells, suggesting more efficient release of newly produced virions from these COG6 knockout cells, due to impaired HSPG biosynthesis. We further observed that viruses produced by the COG6 knockout cells consist of protein(s) with reduced N-glycosylation, potentially explaining their lower infectivity. To facilitate candidate validation, we also detailed a one-step multiplex CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system, an orthogonal method to KO that enables quick and simultaneous deployment of three CRISPRs for efficient gene inactivation. Using CRISPR3i, we verified eight candidates that have been implicated in the synthesis of surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). In summary, our experiments confirmed the two receptors PVR and PVRL2 for BoHV-1 entry into the host cell and other factors that affect this process, likely through the direct or indirect roles they play during HSPG synthesis and glycosylation of viral proteins.

Abstract
Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) infections cause respiratory tract disorders and suppress immune responses, which can culminate in bacterial pneumonia. Following acute infection, BoHV-1 establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurons present in trigeminal ganglia (TG) and unknown cells in pharyngeal tonsil. Latently infected calves consistently reactivate from latency after an intravenous injection of the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone (DEX), which mimics the effects of stress. The immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) promoter drives expression of infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) and bICP4, two key viral transcriptional regulators. The IEtu1 promoter contains two functional glucocorticoid receptor (GR) response elements (GREs), and this promoter is transactivated by GR, DEX, and certain Krüppel transcription factors that interact with GC-rich motifs, including consensus specificity protein 1 (Sp1) binding sites. Based on these observations, we hypothesized that Sp1 stimulates productive infection and transactivates key BoHV-1 promoters. DEX treatment of latently infected calves increased the number of Sp1+ TG neurons and cells in pharyngeal tonsil indicating that Sp1 expression is induced by stress. Silencing Sp1 protein expression with siRNA or mithramycin A, a drug that preferentially binds GC-rich DNA, significantly reduced BoHV-1 replication. Moreover, BoHV-1 infection of permissive cells increased Sp1 steady-state protein levels. In transient transfection studies, GR and Sp1 cooperatively transactivate IEtu1 promoter activity unless both GREs are mutated. Co-immunoprecipitation studies revealed that GR and Sp1 interact in mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2A) suggesting this interaction stimulates IEtu1 promoter activity. Collectively, these studies suggested that the cellular transcription factor Sp1 enhances productive infection and stress-induced BoHV-1 reactivation from latency.IMPORTANCEFollowing acute infection, bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurons in trigeminal ganglia (TG) and pharyngeal tonsil.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1(BoHV-1) is an important bovine pathogen that causes great economic loss to cattle farms worldwide. The virus-productive infection in bovine kidney (MDBK) cells results in ATP depletion. The mechanisms are not well understood. Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is an important energy source in many tissues with high energy demand. Since carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1 A (CPT1A) is the rate-limiting enzyme of FAO, we investigated the interactions between virus-productive infection and CPT1A signaling. Here, we found that virus-productive infection at the later stage significantly decreased CPT1A protein levels in all the detected cells, including MDBK, A549, and Neuro-2A cells, differentially altered the accumulation of CPT1A proteins in the nucleus and cytosol, and re-localized the protein in the nucleus. Etomoxir (ETO), an irreversible inhibitor of CPT1A, inhibited viral replication and partially interfered with the ability of BoHV-1 to alter CPT1A accumulation in the nucleus but not in the cytosol. Furthermore, ETO consistently reduced RNA levels of two viral regulatory proteins (bICP0 and bICP22) and protein expression of virion-associated proteins during productive infection, further supporting the important roles of CPT1A signaling in BoHV-1 productive infection. These data, for the first time, suggest that CPT1A is potentially involved in BoHV-1 productive infection.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) can infect all breeds of cattle and cause respiratory and genital tract diseases. In the process of viral infection, viruses can use their own proteins to suppress the innate immunity of the host and promote its replication; however, the mechanism by which BoHV-1 evades the innate immune response is not fully understood. In this study, we found that rabbits inoculated with the live gene deletion vaccine BoHV-1-△gI/gE/TK generated higher interferon-β (IFN-β) production in the serum, liver, lung and kidney than rabbits inoculated with wt BoHV-1, which led to milder lesions in the lung and kidney. We performed gene deletion and ectopic expression experiments on viral proteins and found that gE was the major protein that inhibited IFN-β expression. Further studies showed that MAVS and IRF3 were the targets of gE, and the specific mechanism was that gE inhibited IFN-β production by promoting MAVS ubiquitination and interfering with the interaction between IRF3 and CBP/p300. These results suggest a new way of BoHV-1 inhibition of IFN-β production to evade the host innate immunity.

PLoS Pathog 2023; 19:e1011822. [PMID: 38055775 PMCID: PMC10727446 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1011822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The advances in gene editing bring unprecedented opportunities in high throughput functional genomics to animal research. Here we describe a genome wide CRISPR knockout library, btCRISPRko.v1, targeting all protein coding genes in the cattle genome. Using it, we conducted genome wide screens during Bovine Herpes Virus type 1 (BoHV-1) replication and compiled a list of pro-viral and anti-viral candidates. These candidates might influence multiple aspects of BoHV-1 biology such as viral entry, genome replication and transcription, viral protein trafficking and virion maturation in the cytoplasm. Some of the most intriguing examples are VPS51, VPS52 and VPS53 that code for subunits of two membrane tethering complexes, the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex and the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex. These complexes mediate endosomal recycling and retrograde trafficking to the trans Golgi Network (TGN). Simultaneous loss of both complexes in MDBKs resulted in greatly reduced production of infectious BoHV-1 virions. We also found that viruses released by these deficient cells severely lack VP8, the most abundant tegument protein of BoHV-1 that are crucial for its virulence. In combination with previous reports, our data suggest vital roles GARP and EARP play during viral protein packaging and capsid re-envelopment in the cytoplasm. It also contributes to evidence that both the TGN and the recycling endosomes are recruited in this process, mediated by these complexes. The btCRISPRko.v1 library generated here has been controlled for quality and shown to be effective in host gene discovery. We hope it will facilitate efforts in the study of other pathogens and various aspects of cell biology in cattle.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) is an important agricultural pathogen that infects cattle and other ruminants worldwide. Though it was first sequenced and annotated over twenty years ago, the Cooper strain, used in this study, was sequenced as recently as 2012 and is currently said to encode 72 unique proteins. However, tandem mass spectrometry has identified several peptides produced during active infection that align with the BoHV-1 genome in unannotated regions. One of these abundant peptides, "ORF M", aligned antisense to the DNA helicase/primase protein UL5. This study characterizes the novel transcript and its protein product and provides evidence to support the existence of homolog protein-coding genes in other Herpesviruses.

Abstract
Phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLC-γ1) may locate at distinct subcellular locations, such as cytosol, plasma membrane, and nucleus for varied biological functions. Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection activates PLC-γ1 signaling, as demonstrated by increased protein levels of phosphorylated-PLC-γ1 at Ser1248 [p-PLC-γ1(S1248)], which benefits virus productive infection. Here, for the first time, we reported that Golgi apparatus also contains activated p-PLC-γ1(S1248). And BoHV-1 productive infection at later stages (24 hpi) increased the accumulation of p-PLC-γ1(S1248) in the Golgi apparatus, where p-PLC-γ1(S1248) forms highlighted puncta observed via a confocal microscope. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that the Golgi p-PLC-γ1(S1248) is specifically associated with the viral protein gD but not gC. In addition, we found that p-PLC-γ1(S1248) is consistently associated with both the plasma membrane-associated virions and the released virions. When the virus-infected cells were treated with PLC-γ1-specific inhibitor, U73122, for a short duration of 4 hours prior to the endpoint of virus infection, we found that the viral protein gD was trapped in the Golgi apparatus, suggesting that the PLC-γ1 signaling may facilitate trafficking of progeny virions out of this organelle. These findings provide a novel insight into the interplay between PLC-γ1 signaling and BoHV-1 replication. IMPORTANCE Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection increases protein levels of phosphorylated-phospholipase C gamma 1 at Ser1248 [p-PLC-γ1(S1248)]. However, whether it causes any variations to p-PLC-γ1(S1248) localization is not well understood. Here, for the first time, we found that partial p-PLC-γ1(S1248) is residing in the Golgi apparatus, where the accumulation is enhanced by virus infection. p-PLC-γ1(S1248) is consistently associated with virions, partially via binding to gD, in both the Golgi apparatus and cytoplasm membranes. Surprisingly, it also associates with the released virions. Of note, this is the first evidenced BoHV-1 virion-bound host protein. It seems that p-PLC-γ1(S1248) works as an escort during trafficking of progeny virions out of Golgi apparatus to the plasma membranes as well as releasing outside of the cell membranes. Furthermore, we showed that the activated p-PLC-γ1(S1248) is potentially implicated in the transport of virions out of Golgi apparatus, which may represent a novel mechanism to regulate virus productive infection.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), an important bovine viral pathogen, causes severe disease in the upper respiratory tract and reproductive system. Tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP), also known as nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), is a pleiotropic stress protein involved in a range of cellular processes. In this study, we showed that the knockdown of NFAT5 by siRNA increased BoHV-1 productive infection and overexpression of NFAT5 via plasmid transfection decreased virus production in bovine kidney (MDBK) cells. Virus productive infection at later stages significantly increased transcription of NFAT5 but not appreciably alter measurable NFAT5 protein levels. Virus infection relocalized NFAT5 protein and decreased the cytosol accumulation. Importantly, we found a subset of NFAT5 resides in mitochondria, and virus infection led to the depletion of mitochondrial NFAT5. In addition to full-length NFAT5, another two isoforms with distinct molecular weights were exclusively detected in the nucleus, where the accumulation was differentially affected following virus infection. In addition, virus infection differentially altered mRNA levels of PGK1, SMIT, and BGT-1, the canonical downstream targets regulated by NFAT5. Taken together, NFAT5 is a potential host factor that restricts BoHV-1 productive infection, and virus infection hijacks NFAT5 signaling transduction by relocalization of NFAT5 molecules in cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria, as well as altered expression of its downstream targets. IMPORTANCE Accumulating studies have revealed that NFAT5 regulates disease development due to infection of numerous viruses, underlying the importance of the host factor in virus pathogenesis. Here, we report that NFAT5 has capacity to restrict BoHV-1 productive infection in vitro. And virus productive infection at later stages may alter NFAT5 signaling pathway as observed by relocalization of NFAT5 protein, reduced accumulation of NFAT5 in cytosol, and differential expression of NFAT5 downstream targets. Importantly, for the first time, we found that a subset of NFAT5 resides in mitochondria, implying that NFAT5 may regulate mitochondrial functions, which will extend our knowledge on NFAT5 biological activities. Moreover, we found two NFAT5 isoforms with distinct molecular weights were exclusively detected in the nucleus, where the accumulation was differentially affected following virus infection, representing a novel regulation mechanism on NFAT5 function in response to BoHV-1infection.

Abstract
Respiratory disease continues to be the major cause of mortality in feedyard cattle, with bronchopneumonia (BP) and acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) as the two most common syndromes. Recent studies described a combination of these pathological lesions with the presence of AIP in the caudodorsal lungs and BP in the cranioventral lungs of necropsied cattle. This pulmonary pathology has been described as bronchopneumonia with an interstitial pneumonia (BIP). The epidemiological characteristics of BIP in U.S. feedyard cattle are yet to be described. This study's objectives were to describe the agreement between feedyard clinical and necropsy gross diagnosis and to characterize epidemiological factors associated with four gross pulmonary diagnoses (AIP, BIP, BP, and Normal pulmonary tissue) observed during feedyard cattle necropsies. Systemic necropsies were performed at six feedyards in U.S. high plains region, and gross pulmonary diagnoses were established. Historical data were added to the dataset, including sex, days on feed at death (DOFDEATH), arrival weight, treatment count, and feedyard diagnosis. Generalized linear models were used to evaluate epidemiological factors associated with the probability of each pulmonary pathology. Comparing feedyard clinical diagnosis with gross pathological diagnosis revealed relatively low agreement and the frequency of agreement varied by diagnosis. The likelihood of AIP at necropsy was higher for heifers than steers and in the 100-150 DOFDEATH category compared with the 0-50 DOFDEATH (p = 0.05). The likelihood of BIP increased after the first treatment, whereas the DOFDEATH 0-50 category had a lower likelihood compared with the 150-200 category (p = 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of necropsy for final diagnosis and can aid the development of future diagnosis and therapeutic protocols for pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial condition where different genera of bacteria, such as Mannheimia haemolytica, Histophilus somni, Pasteurella multocida, and Mycoplasma bovis, and viruses, like bovine respiratory syncytial virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and bovine herpes virus-1, infect the lower respiratory tract of cattle. These pathogens can co-infect cells in the respiratory system, thereby making specific treatment very difficult. Currently, the most common models for studying BRD include a submerged tissue culture (STC), where monolayers of epithelial cells are typically covered either in cellular or spent biofilm culture medium. Another model is an air-liquid interface (ALI), where epithelial cells are exposed on their apical side and allowed to differentiate. However, limited work has been reported on the study of three-dimensional (3D) bovine models that incorporate multiple cell types to represent the architecture of the respiratory tract. The roles of different defense mechanisms in an infected bovine respiratory system, such as mucin production, tight junction barriers, and the production of antimicrobial peptides in in vitro cultures require further investigation in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disease pathogenesis. In this report, we describe the different aspects of BRD, including the most implicated pathogens and the respiratory tract, which are important to incorporate in disease models assembled in vitro. Although current advancements of bovine respiratory cultures have led to knowledge of the disease, 3D multicellular organoids that better recapitulate the in vivo environment exhibit potential for future investigations.

Abstract
Water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) have been introduced in many regions of the world as a source of animal protein. In many instances, bubaline cattle are reared close to or mixed with bovine or zebuine cattle. However, little is known about infectious diseases of bubaline and the interactions that may arise involving the microbiota of those species. Alphaherpesviruses of ruminants (bovine alphaherpesviruses types 1 and 5, BoHV-1, BoHV-5; bubaline alphaherpesvirus 1, BuHV-1) are highly cross-reactive in serological assays performed with bovine or zebuine sera. However, the profile of reactivity of bubaline cattle sera to alphaherpesviruses remains unknown. As such, it is not known which virus strain (or strains) would be most appropriate to be used as the challenge virus in the laboratory in search for alphaherpesvirus-neutralizing antibodies. In this study, the profile of neutralizing antibodies to alphaherpesviruses in bubaline sera was determined against different types/subtypes of bovine and bubaline alphaherpesviruses. Sera (n=339) were screened in a 24-h serum neutralization test (SN) against 100 TCID50 of each of the challenge viruses. From those, 159 (46.9 %) neutralized at least one of the viruses assayed; 131 (38.6%) sera neutralized the three viral strains used for screening. The viral strain that was neutralized by the largest number of sera was BoHV-5b A663 (149/159; 93.7%). A few sera neutralized only one of the challenge viruses: four sera neutralized BoHV-1 LA only; another neutralized BoHV-5 A663 only and four others neutralized BuHV-1 b6 only. SN testing with two additional strains gave rise to similar results, where maximum sensitivity (defined here as the largest number of sera that neutralized the challenge viruses) was obtained by adding positive results attained with three of the challenge strains. Differences in neutralizing antibody titers were not significant to allow inferences on which would be the most likely virus that induced the antibody responses detected here.

Abstract
Bovine Alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is one of the major respiratory pathogens in cattle worldwide. Infection often leads to a compromised host immune response that contributes to the development of the polymicrobial disease known as “bovine respiratory disease”. After an initial transient phase of immunosuppression, cattle recover from the disease. This is due to the development of both innate and adaptive immune responses. With respect to adaptive immunity, both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are required to control infection. Thus, several BoHV-1 vaccines are designed to trigger both branches of the adaptive immune system. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on cell-mediated immune responses directed against BoHV-1 infection and vaccination.

Liu Y, Zhang Q, Zou M, Cui J, Shi X, Li L, Wu F, Xu X. Cell entry of Bovine herpesvirus-1 through clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis requires activation of PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK pathways as well as the interaction of BoHV-1 gD with cellular receptor nectin-1. Vet Microbiol 2023; 279:109672.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) can infect all breeds of cattle and cause severe respiratory organs and genital tract diseases. However, the mechanism of BoHV-1 entering the cells remains unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism of BoHV-1 entering MDBK cells. We found that the entry of BoHV-1 was blocked by NH4Cl and bafilomycin A1, indicating that BoHV-1 entry is dependent on the acidic environment of endosome. Specific inhibitor dynasore and small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of dynamin-2 inhibited BoHV-1 entry, showing that dynamin is required in BoHV-1 entry. The results of specific inhibitor, siRNA knockdown and co-localization indicating clathrin- and caveolin- mediated endocytosis play a role in BoHV-1 entry. BoHV-1 infection was not affected by EIPA which is a specific inhibitor of macropinocytosis. In addition, we found that BoHV-1 triggered PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK signaling pathways to induce clathrin-mediated and caveolin-mediated endocytosis at the early stage of BoHV-1 infection. BoHV-1 binding was sufficient to activate the endocytic signaling pathways and promote viral entry. These two signaling pathways were activated by transfection of viral gD protein, and were inhibited by deletion of viral gD protein and the siRNA knockdown of cellular receptor nectin-1. The results of co-localization indicating the entered BoHV-1 is traced to late endosomes via early endosomes. Our results suggested the interaction of viral gD protein and cellular receptor nectin-1 triggered the PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK signaling pathways and induced clathrin-mediated and caveolin-mediated endocytosis to promote BoHV-1 entry into MDBK cells at the early stage of BoHV-1 infection.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), an important pathogen of cattle, establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurons within trigeminal ganglia (TG) after acute infection. The BoHV-1 latency-reactivation cycle, like other alphaherpesvirinae subfamily members, is essential for viral persistence and transmission. Notably, cells within pharyngeal tonsil (PT) also support a quiescent or latent BoHV-1 infection. The synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, which mimics the effects of stress, consistently induces BoHV-1 reactivation from latency allowing early stages of viral reactivation to be examined in the natural host. Based on previous studies, we hypothesized that stress-induced cellular factors trigger expression of key viral transcriptional regulatory genes. To explore this hypothesis, RNA-sequencing studies compared viral gene expression in PT during early stages of dexamethasone-induced reactivation from latency. Strikingly, RNA encoding infected cell protein 4 (bICP4), which is translated into an essential viral transcriptional regulatory protein, was detected 30 min after dexamethasone treatment. Ninety minutes after dexamethasone treatment bICP4 and, to a lesser extent, bICP0 RNA were detected in PT. All lytic cycle viral transcripts were detected within 3 h after dexamethasone treatment. Surprisingly, the latency related (LR) gene, the only viral gene abundantly expressed in latently infected TG neurons, was not detected in PT during latency. In TG neurons, bICP0 and the viral tegument protein VP16 are expressed before bICP4 during reactivation, suggesting distinct viral regulatory genes mediate reactivation from latency in PT versus TG neurons. Finally, these studies confirm PT is a biologically relevant site for BoHV-1 latency, reactivation from latency, and virus transmission. IMPORTANCE BoHV-1, a neurotropic herpesvirus, establishes, maintains, and reactivates from latency in neurons. BoHV-1 DNA is also detected in pharyngeal tonsil (PT) from latently infected calves. RNA-sequencing studies revealed the viral infected cell protein 4 (bICP4) RNA was expressed in PT of latently infected calves within 30 min after dexamethasone was used to initiate reactivation. As expected, bICP4 RNA was not detected during latency. All lytic cycle viral genes were expressed within 3 h after dexamethasone treatment. Conversely, bICP0 and the viral tegument protein VP16 are expressed prior to bICP4 in trigeminal ganglionic neurons during reactivation. The viral latency related gene, which is abundantly expressed in latently infected neurons, was not abundantly expressed in PT during latency. These studies provide new evidence PT is a biologically relevant site for BoHV-1 latency and reactivation. Finally, we predict other alphaherpesvirinae subfamily members utilize PT as a site for latency and reactivation.

Abstract
Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1 (BoHV-1) infection causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and genital disease in cattle, with significant economic and welfare impacts. However, the role of cellular host factors during viral replication remains poorly characterised. A previously performed genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen identified pro- and antiviral host factors acting during BoHV-1 replication. Herein we validate a pro-viral role for a candidate from this screen: the cellular protein tetracopeptide repeat protein 4 (TTC4). We show that TTC4 transcript production is upregulated during BoHV-1 infection. Depletion of TTC4 protein impairs BoHV-1 protein production but does not reduce production of infectious virions, whereas overexpression of exogenous TTC4 results in a significant increase in production of infectious BoHV-1 virions. TTC4 itself is poorly characterized (especially in the context of virus infection), but is a known co-chaperone of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). HSP90 has a well-characterized pro-viral role during the replication of diverse herpesviruses, and we therefore hypothesized that HSP90 is also pro-viral for BoHV-1. Drug-mediated inhibition of HSP90 using geldanamycin at sub-cytotoxic concentrations inhibited both BoHV-1 protein production and viral genome replication, indicating a pro-viral role for HSP90 during BoHV-1 infection. Our data demonstrates pro-viral roles for both TTC4 and HSP90 during BoHV-1 replication; possibly, interactions between these two proteins are required for optimal BoHV-1 replication, or the two proteins may have independent pro-viral roles.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) causes bovine respiratory disease that poses a significant threat to the cattle industry. The prevalence of BHV-1 has recently increased in China. However, the lack of information about the prevalent isolates limits the control of the disease. In this study, a novel strain of BHV-1 was isolated from nasal swabs of Holstein cows in 2020 in China, designated as BHV SHJS. The genome of BHV strain SHJS is 135, 102 bp in length and highly similar to strain SP1777 (KM258883.1) with an identity of 99.64%. Mutations, insertions, or deletions mainly occur in UL27, UL44, and US8, etc., relative to the different genomic coordinates. Phylogenetic tree of UL44 (gC) showed that BHV strain SHJS belongs to BHV-1.2b cluster. The result showed that the strain had a different evolutionary origin from those prevalent in China. This study will enrich our knowledge regarding BHV outbreak strains in China and contribute to the prevention and pathogenic studies of BHV-1.2.

Abstract
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is a multifactorial condition affecting cattle worldwide resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The disease can be triggered by Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) infection, stress, and the subsequent proliferation and lung colonization by commensal bacteria such as Mannheimia haemolytica, ultimately inducing severe pneumonic inflammation. Due to its polymicrobial nature, the study of BRD microbes requires co-infection models. While several past studies have mostly focused on the effects of co-infection on host gene expression, we focused on the relationship between BRD pathogens during co-infection, specifically on M. haemolytica’s effect on BoHV-1 replication. This study shows that M. haemolytica negatively impacts BoHV-1 replication in a dose-dependent manner in different in vitro models. The negative effect was observed at very low bacterial doses while increasing the viral dose counteracted this effect. Viral suppression was also dependent on the time at which each microbe was introduced to the cell culture. While acidification of the culture medium did not grossly affect cell viability, it significantly inhibited viral replication. We conclude that M. haemolytica and BoHV-1 interaction is dose and time-sensitive, wherein M. haemolytica proliferation induces significant viral suppression when the viral replication program is not fully established.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) commandeers the host cell proteasome at several steps of its replication cycle, including entry. Here we demonstrate that HSV-2, pseudorabies virus (PRV), and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) entry are blocked by bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor that is an FDA-approved cancer drug. Proteasome-dependent entry of HSV-1 is thought to be ubiquitin-independent. To interrogate further the proteasomal mechanism of entry, we determined the involvement of the ubiquitin-like molecule NEDD8 and the neddylation cascade in alphaherpesvirus entry and infection. MLN4924 is a small-molecule inhibitor of neddylation that binds directly to the NEDD8-activating enzyme. Cell treatment with MLN4924 inhibited plaque formation and infectivity by HSV-1, PRV, and BoHV-1 at noncytotoxic concentrations. Thus, the neddylation pathway is broadly important for alphaherpesvirus infection. However, the neddylation inhibitor had little effect on entry of the veterinary viruses but had a significant inhibitory effect on entry of HSV-1 and HSV-2 into seven different cell types. Washout experiments indicated that MLN4924's effect on viral entry was reversible. A time-of-addition assay suggested that the drug was acting on an early step in the entry process. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of NEDD8 significantly inhibited HSV entry. In probing the neddylation-dependent step in entry, we found that MLN4924 dramatically blocked endocytic uptake of HSV from the plasma membrane by >90%. In contrast, the rate of HSV entry into cells that support direct fusion of HSV with the cell surface was unaffected by MLN4924. Interestingly, proteasome activity was less important for the endocytic internalization of HSV from the cell surface. The results suggest that the NEDD8 cascade is critical for the internalization step of HSV entry. IMPORTANCE Alphaherpesviruses are ubiquitous pathogens of humans and veterinary species that cause lifelong latent infections and significant morbidity and mortality. Host cell neddylation is important for cell homeostasis and for the infection of many viruses, including HSV-1, HSV-2, PRV, and BoHV-1. Inhibition of neddylation by a pharmacologic inhibitor or siRNA blocked HSV infection at the entry step. Specifically, the NEDD8 pathway was critically important for HSV-1 internalization from the cell surface by an endocytosis mechanism. The results expand our limited understanding of cellular processes that mediate HSV internalization. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a function for the neddylation cascade in virus entry.

Abstract
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is caused by Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), which seriously threatens the global cattle industry. Only vaccination to improve immunity is the most direct and effective means to prevent IBR. Attempts are being made to use subunit vaccines, deleted or recombinant viral vaccines to reduce or eradicate IBR. For investigating the immunological characteristics of glycoprotein B subunit vaccine in pattern animal guinea pigs, the partial glycoprotein B (gB) of BoHV-1 with dominant antigenic characteristic was selected. A recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a-gB with the truncated gB gene was constructed, expressed, identified and the purified proteins were used to immunize guinea pigs. The immune effect of the subunit vaccine was assessed by monitoring clinical symptoms, viral load, antibody secretion, and histopathological changes. The results indicated that guinea pigs immunized with the gB subunit vaccine produced high levels of anti-gB antibodies and virus-neutralizing antibodies. The gB subunit vaccine significantly reduced viral shedding and lung tissue damage after IBRV challenge. The animals inoculated the gB subunit vaccine also had less virus reactivation. Its protective effect on viral shedding and tissue damage was similar to that of inactivated BoHV-1 vaccine. This work is a proof-of-concept study of subunit vaccine-induced protection against BoHV-1. And it is expected to be a candidate vaccine for the prevention of IBR.

Abstract
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a major animal health hazard in many countries throughout the world, caused by bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1). The study’s goal was to evaluate the prevalence of BoHV-1 seropositivity among dromedary camels in three governorates in northern Egypt, as well as to identify risk variables related with BoHV-1 seropositivity. A total of 321 blood samples were collected randomly from dromedary camels living in the selected governorates and examined for presence of BoHV-1 antibody using ELISA test. The overall seroprevalence of BoHV-1 among examined camels was 5.92% (95%CI: 3.82–9.06). Univariable analysis confirmed that the significant association (P < 0.05) between sex, history of abortion, contact with small ruminants and herd size and BoHV-1 seropositivity. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, the following risk factors were identified to be related with the presence of BoHV-1 infection: sex (OR = 2.54, 95%CI: 0.63–10.22), history of abortion (OR = 4.16, 95%CI: 1.30–13.27), contact with small ruminants (OR = 5.61, 95%CI: 1.67–18.80) and large herd size (OR = 10.52, 95%CI: 2.46–44.91). This study estimated the disease’s seroprevalence in Egyptian dromedary camels, implying that camels could act as a BoHV-1 reservoir for transmission to other species.

[PMID: 36140380 PMCID: PMC9496131 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10092282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), an important pathogen of cattle, is also a promising oncolytic virus. Recent studies have demonstrated that the virus infection induces DNA damage and DNA damage response (DDR), potentially accounting for virus infection-induced cell death and oncolytic effects. However, whether the global DDR network affects BoHV-1 productive infection remains to be elucidated. In this study, we show that global DDR induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation prior to BoHV-1 infection differentially affected transcription of immediate early (IE) genes, such as infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) and bICP22, in a cell-type-dependent manner. In addition, UV-induced DDR may affect the stabilization of viral protein levels, such as glycoprotein C (gC) and gD, because the variation in mRNA levels of gC and gD as a consequence of UV treatment were not in line with the variation in individual protein levels. The virus productive infection also affects UV-primed DDR signaling, as demonstrated by the alteration of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) protein levels and γH2AX formation following virus infection. Taken together, for the first time, we evidenced the interplay between UV-primed global DDR and BoHV-1 productive infection. UV-primed global DDR differentially modulates the transcription of virus genes and stabilization of virus protein. Vice versa, the virus infection may affect UV-primed DDR signaling.

Assessment of Different Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Marker Vaccines in Calves. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10081204. [PMID: 36016092 PMCID: PMC9412430 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10081204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Three commercially available infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) live marker vaccines were evaluated for their ability to provide clinical protection to vaccinated calves against wild-type (wt) Bovine alphaherpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) challenge and their possible effect on wt BoHV-1 latency reactivation following the challenge. On 35 post-vaccination days (PVDs), all animals were challenged with wt BoHV-1. Only the calves in the control group developed severe forms of IBR. The reactivation of latent BoHV-1 was induced by dexamethasone (DMS) treatment on 28 post-challenge days (PCDs). All animals showed IBR clinical signs on three post-DMS treatment days (PDTDs). On PVD 14, all vaccinated animals developed neutralizing antibodies (NAs), whereas in control animals, the NAs appeared post-challenge. The positivity for glycoprotein-B (gB) was detected using real-time polymerase chain reactions in all animals from PCDs 1 to 7. In contrast, the gB-positivity was observed in the immunized calves from PDTDs 3 to 10. Positive expression of gD and gE was observed in nasal swabs of all calves on PDTD 7. These findings suggested that the IBR marker vaccines evaluated in this study protected against wt BoHV-1-induced disease but not against wt BoHV-1-induced latency reactivation, indicating the necessity of developing new products to protect animals from wt BoHV-1-induced latency.

Protective Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Respiratory Inflammation and Oxidative Stress. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11050879. [PMID: 35624744 PMCID: PMC9137500 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11050879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
As the leading cause of bovine respiratory disease (BRD), bacterial pneumonia can result in tremendous losses in the herd farming industry worldwide. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an acetylated precursor of the amino acid L-cysteine, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. To explore the protective effect and underlying mechanisms of NAC in ALI, we investigated its role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced bovine embryo tracheal cells (EBTr) and mouse lung injury models. We found that NAC pretreatment attenuated LPS-induced inflammation in EBTr and mouse models. Moreover, LPS suppressed the expression of oxidative-related factors in EBTr and promoted gene expression and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Conversely, the pretreatment of NAC alleviated the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and decreased their mRNA levels, maintaining stable levels of antioxidative gene expression. In vivo, NAC helped LPS-induced inflammatory responses and lung injury in ALI mice. The relative protein concentration, total cells, and percentage of neutrophils in BALF; the level of secretion of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-1β; MPO activity; lung injury score; and the expression level of inflammatory-related genes were decreased significantly in the NAC group compared with the LPS group. NAC also ameliorated LPS-induced mRNA level changes in antioxidative genes. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NAC affects the inflammatory and oxidative response, alleviating LPS-induced EBTr inflammation and mouse lung injury, which offers a natural therapeutic strategy for BRD.

Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Invasion of Sensory Neurons by Retrograde Axonal Transport Is Dependent on the pUL37 Region 2 Effector. J Virol 2022; 96:e0148621.

Abstract
Following exposure and replication at mucosal surfaces, most alphaherpesviruses invade the peripheral nervous system by retrograde axonal transport and establish lifelong latent infections in the peripheral ganglia. Reactivation of ganglionic infections is followed by anterograde axonal transport of virions back to body surfaces where viral replication results in disease that can range from moderate to severe in presentation. In the case of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), replication in the epithelial mucosa presents as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), a respiratory disease of significant economic impact. In this study, we provide a live-cell analysis of BoHV-1 retrograde axonal transport relative to the model alphaherpesvirus pathogen pseudorabies virus (PRV) and demonstrate that this critical neuroinvasive step is conserved between the two viruses. In addition, we report that the BoHV-1 pUL37 tegument protein supports processive retrograde motion in infected axons and invasion of the calf peripheral nervous system. IMPORTANCE A molecular and cellular understanding of the retrograde axonal transport process that underlies the neuroinvasive properties of the alphaherpesviruses is established from studies of herpes simplex virus and pseudorabies virus. The degree to which this phenotype is conserved in other related viruses has largely not been examined. We provide a time-lapse analysis of the retrograde axonal transport kinetics of bovine herpesvirus 1 and demonstrate that mutation of the pUL37 region 2 effector affords a strategy to produce live-attenuated vaccines for enhanced protection of cattle.

Abstract
Abstract
Iron and ferritin have been used in human medicine for years to reveal the presence of inflammation. However, studies evaluating these parameters, especially in respiratory system diseases, are quite rare in veterinary medicine. We aimed to test the usability of serum Fe and Fe-related parameters [total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) and transferrin saturation (TS) levels] as inflammatory and diagnostic biomarkers in calves with bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC). To mark inflammation, some selected acute-phase proteins including serum ferritin and transferrin levels were measured because of their close relationship with iron metabolism. The material of this study consisted of 15 calves, aged 1-3 months with BRDC (Group I) and 10 healthy calves aged 1-3 months (Group II) based on the presence of respiratory clinical findings. Serum Fe, TIBC and TS levels were low and ferritin levels were high in Group I (P ≤ 0.001). The BRDC group was separated into two subgroups based on PCR results, namely Virus+ (n=9) and Virus- (n=6). The calves in the Virus+ group had significantly lower levels of Fe (P=0.001) and significantly higher values of ferritin (P=0.002), compared to the healthy group. On the basis of inter-group comparison and ROC analysis, we concluded that Fe (primarily), ferritin, TIBC and TS levels can be used as inflammatory biomarkers and possible diagnostic markers in the BRDC as useful, practical, inexpensive substitutes. As a suggestion, these parameters which are believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease, can be used as potential prognostic biomarkers in studies involving treatment.

Progesterone Sporadically Induces Reactivation from Latency in Female Calves but Proficiently Stimulates Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Productive Infection. J Virol 2022; 96:e0213021.

Abstract
Acute infection of the ocular, oral, or nasal cavity by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) culminates in lifelong latency in sensory neurons within trigeminal ganglia. The BoHV-1 latency reactivation cycle, including calves latently infected with commercially available modified live vaccines, can lead to reproductive complications, including abortions. Recent studies demonstrated progesterone stimulated BoHV-1 productive infection and sporadically induced reactivation from latency in male rabbits. The progesterone receptor (PR) and progesterone transactivate the immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) promoter and the infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) early promoter. These viral promoters drive expression of two viral transcriptional regulatory proteins (bICP0 and bICP4) that are crucial for productive infection. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that progesterone induces reactivation in a subset of calves latently infected with BoHV-1. These studies demonstrated progesterone was less efficient than dexamethasone at initiating reactivation from latency in female calves. Notably, heat stress correlated with enhancing the ability of progesterone to induce reactivation from latency. Previous studies demonstrated that heat stress activates the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which suggested GR activation augments progesterone-mediated reactivation from latency. Additional studies revealed GR and PR cooperatively stimulated productive infection and synergistically transactivated the IEtu1 promoter when cultures were treated with dexamethasone. Mutating one or both GR binding sites in the IEtu1 promoter blocked transactivation. Collectively, these studies indicated that progesterone intermittently triggered reactivation from latency, and heat stress augmented reactivation from reactivation. Finally, these studies suggest progesterone enhances virus spread in tissues and cells where PR is abundantly expressed. IMPORTANCE Steroid hormone fluctuations are predicted to enhance or initiate bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) replication and virus spread in cattle. For example, stress increases the incidence of BoHV-1 reactivation from latency in cattle, and the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone consistently induces reactivation from latency. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and dexamethasone stimulate key viral regulatory promoters and productive infection, in part because the viral genome contains numerous consensus GR-responsive elements (GREs). The progesterone receptor (PR) and GR belong to the type I nuclear hormone receptor family. PR and progesterone specifically bind to and transactivate viral promoters that contain GREs and stimulate BoHV-1 productive infection. Although progesterone did not induce reactivation from latency in female calves as efficiently as dexamethasone, heat stress enhanced progesterone-mediated reactivation from latency. Consequently, we predict that low levels of stressful stimuli can cooperate with progesterone to induce reactivation from latency or promote virus spread.

Abstract
Oncolytic bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) infection induces DNA damage in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We found that BoHV-1 infection decreased the steady-state protein levels of p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1), which plays a central role in dictating DNA damage repair and maintaining genomic stability. Furthermore, BoHV-1 impaired the formation of 53BP1 foci, suggesting that BoHV-1 inhibits 53BP1-mediated DNA damage repair. Interestingly, BoHV-1 infection redistributed intracellular β-catenin, and iCRT14 (5-[[2,5-Dimethyl-1-(3-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methylene]-3-phenyl-2,4-thiazolidinedione), a β-catenin-specific inhibitor, enhanced certain viral protein expression, such as the envelope glycoproteins gC and gD, and enhanced virus infection-induced DNA damage. Therefore, for the first time, we provide evidence showing that BoHV-1 infection disrupts 53BP1-mediated DNA damage repair and suggest β-catenin as a potential host factor restricting both virus replication and DNA damage in A549 cells.

Abstract
The aim of the report was to present the circulation of BVDV (bovine viral diarrhea virus) in the cattle population and determine the cause of the failure of vaccination failure leading to the birth of the PI (persistently infected) calf. The case study was carried out at the BVDV-free animal breeding center and cattle farm, where the vaccination program against BVDV was implemented in 2012, and each newly introduced animal was serologically and virologically tested for BVDV. In this case, a blood sample was taken from a 9-month-old breeding bull. Positive RT-PCR and negative ELISA serology results were obtained. The tests were repeated at 2-week intervals, and the results confirmed the presence of the virus and the absence of specific antibodies, i.e., persistent infection. Additionally, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were performed, and the BVDV-1d subgenotype was detected. The results of this study showed that pregnant heifers and cows that are vaccinated multiple times with the killed vaccine containing BVDV-1a may not be fully protected against infection with other subgenotypes of BVDV, including their fetuses, which can become PI calves.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify Mycoplasma bovis, Myc. dispar, and Myc. bovirhinis, which are involved in bovine respiratory disease through a multiplex PCR as an alternative to culture's features that hamper Mycoplasma isolation. Nasal swabs were taken from 335 cattle with and without respiratory disease background (RDB) from dairy herds in the central region of Mexico. Each sample was divided in two; the first part was processed for the direct DNA extraction of the nasal swab and the second for Mycoplasma isolation, culture, and then the multiplex PCR was performed. In the nasal swabs, Myc. bovis was identified in 21.1%; Myc. dispar, in 11.8%; and Myc. bovirhinis, in 10.8% in cattle with RDB. Isolates were identified as Myc. bovis, 20.1%; Myc. dispar, 11.8%; and Myc. bovirhinis, 6.1%. There is a strong correlation between the presence of Mycoplasma identified by PCR and the clinical history of the disease (ρ < 0.0000). In animals without RDB, Myc. bovirhinis was the only species detected in 6.1% of the samples processed directly for multiplex PCR, and in 2% of the isolates. There is an excellent correlation (kappa 0.803) between the isolation and the 16S PCR and a high correlation (kappa 0.75) between the isolation and the multiplex PCR. Therefore, we conclude that the PCR multiplex test is highly sensitive and may be used for the diagnosis and surveillance of the three species in biological samples and mycoplasma isolates.

Abstract
The innate and acquired immune response induced by a commercial inactivated vaccine against Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) and protection conferred against the virus were analyzed in cattle. Vaccination induced high levels of BoHV-1 antibodies at 30, 60, and 90 days post-vaccination (dpv). IgG1 and IgG2 isotypes were detected at 90 dpv, as well as virus-neutralizing antibodies. An increase of anti-BoHV-1 IgG1 in nasal swabs was detected 6 days post-challenge in vaccinated animals. After viral challenge, lower virus excretion and lower clinical score were observed in vaccinated as compared to unvaccinated animals, as well as BoHV-1-specific proliferation of lymphocytes and production of IFNγ, TNFα, and IL-4. Downregulation of the expression of endosome Toll-like receptors 8-9 was detected after booster vaccination. This is the first thorough study of the immunity generated by a commercial vaccine against BoHV-1 in cattle.

Characterization of BoHV-1 gG-/tk-/gE- Mutant in Differential Protein Expression, Virulence, and Immunity. Vet Sci 2021; 8:vetsci8110253. [PMID: 34822626 PMCID: PMC8621285 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci8110253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), caused by bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), is an important disease affecting cattle worldwide resulting in great economic losses. Marker vaccines are effective in controlling infectious diseases including IBR, because they allow the discrimination between the natural infection and the vaccination. Therefore, a triple gene deleted strain BoHV-1 gG-/tk-/gE- was developed and evaluated in vivo and in vitro as a marker vaccine. In cell culture, this triple mutant virus showed significantly slower growth kinetics and smaller plaques when compared to wild-type (wt) BoHV-1 and double mutant BoHV-1 gG-/tk- (p < 0.01). On proteomic level, it revealed downregulation of some virulence related proteins including thymidine kinase, glycoproteins G, E, I, and K when compared to the wt. In vitro, the triple mutant virus showed a significantly lower and shorter viral shedding period (p < 0.001) in calves compared to double mutant. Moreover, the immunized calves with triple mutant virus showed protection rates of 64.2% and 68.6% against wt BoHV-1 and wt BoHV-5 challenge, respectively, without reactivation of latency after dexamethasone injection. In conclusion, BoHV-1 gG-/tk-/gE- is a safer marker vaccine against IBR although its immunogenicity in calves was decreased when compared to double mutant virus.

Viruses 2021; 13:v13102102. [PMID: 34696532 PMCID: PMC8540818 DOI: 10.3390/v13102102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) infection contributes to keratoconjunctivitis, respiratory disease, and reproductive losses in cattle. The objective of this study was to determine the most appropriate ophthalmic antiviral agent for BoHV-1 inhibition using in-vitro culture and novel ex-vivo bovine corneal modeling. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations of BoHV-1 were determined for cidofovir, ganciclovir, idoxuridine, and trifluridine via in-vitro plaque reduction assays. In-vitro cytotoxicity was compared amongst these compounds via luciferase assays. Trifluridine and cidofovir were the most potent BoHV-1 inhibitors in vitro, while trifluridine and idoxuridine were the most cytotoxic agents. Therefore, cidofovir was the most potent non-cytotoxic agent and was employed in the ex-vivo corneal assay. Corneoscleral rings (n = 36) from fresh cadaver bovine globes were harvested and equally divided into an uninfected, untreated control group; a BoHV-1-infected, untreated group; and a BoHV-1-infected, cidofovir-treated group. Virus isolation for BoHV-1 titers was performed from corneal tissue and liquid media. Histologic measurements of corneal thickness, epithelial cell density, and tissue organization were compared between groups. Substantial BoHV-1 replication was observed in infected, untreated corneas, but BoHV-1 titer was significantly reduced in cidofovir-treated (1.69 ± 0.08 × 103 PFU/mL) versus untreated (8.25 ± 0.25 × 105 PFU/mL, p < 0.0001) tissues by day 2 of culture. No significant differences in histologic criteria were observed between groups. In conclusion, cidofovir warrants further investigation as treatment for BoHV-1 keratoconjunctivitis, with future studies needed to assess in-vivo tolerability and efficacy.

Sawant L, Ostler JB, Jones C. A Pioneer Transcription Factor and Type I Nuclear Hormone Receptors Synergistically Activate the Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Infected Cell Protein 0 (ICP0) Early Promoter. J Virol 2021; 95:e0076821. [PMID: 34319779 PMCID: PMC8475507 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00768-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Following bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) acute infection of ocular, oral, or nasal cavities, sensory neurons within trigeminal ganglia are an important site for latency. Stress, as mimicked by the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, consistently induces reactivation from latency. Expression of two key viral transcriptional regulatory proteins, BoHV-1 infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) and bICP4, are regulated by sequences within the immediate early promoter (IEtu1). A separate early promoter also drives bICP0 expression, presumably to ensure sufficient levels of this important transcriptional regulatory protein. Productive infection and bICP0 early promoter activity are cooperatively transactivated by Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and a type I nuclear hormone receptor (NHR), androgen receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, or progesterone receptor. The bICP0 early promoter contains three separate transcriptional enhancers that mediate cooperative transactivation. In contrast to the IEtu1 promoter, the bICP0 early promoter lacks consensus type I NHR binding sites. Consequently, we hypothesized that KLF4 and Sp1 binding sites are essential for type I NHR and KLF4 to transactivate the bICP0 promoter. Mutating KLF4 and Sp1 binding sites in each enhancer domain significantly reduced transactivation by KLF4 and a type I NHR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies demonstrated that occupancy of bICP0 early promoter sequences by KLF4 and type I NHR is significantly reduced when KLF4 and/or Sp1 binding sites are mutated. These studies suggest that cooperative transactivation of the bICP0 E promoter by type I NHRs and a stress-induced pioneer transcription factor (KLF4) promote viral replication and spread in neurons or nonneural cells in reproductive tissue. IMPORTANCE Understanding how stressful stimuli and changes in the cellular milieu mediate viral replication and gene expression in the natural host is important for developing therapeutic strategies that impair virus transmission and disease. For example, bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) reactivation from latency is consistently induced by the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone, which mimics the effects of stress. Furthermore, BoHV-1 infection increases the incidence of abortion in pregnant cows, suggesting that sex hormones stimulate viral growth in certain tissues. Previous studies revealed that type I nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) (androgen, glucocorticoid, or progesterone) and a pioneer transcription factor, Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), cooperatively transactivate the BoHV-1 infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) early promoter. Transactivation was mediated by Sp1 and/or KLF4 consensus binding sites within the three transcriptional enhancers. These studies underscore the complexity by which BoHV-1 exploits type I NHR fluctuations to enhance viral gene expression, replication, and transmission in the natural host.

Regulation of neurotropic herpesvirus productive infection and latency-reactivation cycle by glucocorticoid receptor and stress-induced transcription factors. VITAMINS AND HORMONES 2021; 117:101-132.

Abstract
Neurotropic α-herpesvirinae subfamily members, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), are important viral pathogens in their respective hosts. Following acute infection on mucosal surfaces, these viruses establish life-long latency in neurons within trigeminal ganglia (TG) and central nervous system. Chronic or acute stress (physiological or psychological) increases the frequency of reactivation from latency, which leads to virus shedding, virus transmission, and recurrent disease. While stress impairs immune responses and inflammatory signaling cascades, we predict stressful stimuli directly stimulate viral gene expression and productive infection during early stages of reactivation from latency. For example, BoHV-1 and HSV-1 productive infection is impaired by glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists but is stimulated by the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone. Promoters that drive expression of key viral transcriptional regulatory proteins are cooperatively stimulated by GR and specific Krüppel like transcription factors (KLF) induced during stress induced reactivation from latency. The BoHV-1 immediate early transcription unit 1 promoter and contains two GR response elements (GRE) that are essential for cooperative transactivation by GR and KLF15. Conversely, the HSV-1 infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) and ICP4 promoter as well as the BoHV-1 ICP0 early promoter lack consensus GREs: however, these promoters are cooperatively transactivated by GR and KLF4 or KLF15. Hence, growing evidence suggests GR and stress-induced transcription factors directly stimulate viral gene expression and productive infection during early stages of reactivation from latency. We predict the immune inhibitory effects of stress enhance virus spread at late stages during reactivation from latency.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a ubiquitous DNA-binding protein, can be released into extracellular space and function as a strong proinflammatory cytokine, which plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Here, we showed that BoHV-1 productive infection in MDBK cells at later stage significantly increases HMGB1 mRNA expression and the protein release, but decreases the steady-state protein levels. Virus infection increases accumulation of HMGB1 protein in both nucleus and mitochondria, and relocalizes nuclear HMGB1 to assemble in highlighted foci via a confocal microscope assay. Interestingly, β-catenin-specific inhibitor iCRT14 is able to increase HMGB1 transcription and the protein release, and subcellular translocation in virus-infected cells. HMGB1-specific inhibitor, glycyrrhizin, could differentially affect virus gene transcription such as, the viral regulatory protein bICP0, bICP4 and bICP22, as well as glycoprotein gD. In summary, our data provides a novel mechanism that β-catenin signaling may regulate inflammatory response via affecting HMGB1 signaling.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is a multifactorial disease of cattle which presents as bacterial and viral pneumonia. The causative agents of BRDC work in synergy to suppress the host immune response and increase the colonisation of the lower respiratory tracts by pathogenic bacteria. Environmental stress and/or viral infection predispose cattle to secondary bacterial infections via suppression of key innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. This allows bacteria to descend the respiratory tract unchallenged. BRDC is the costliest disease among feedlot cattle, and whilst vaccines exist for individual pathogens, there is still a lack of evidence for the efficacy of these vaccines and uncertainty surrounding the optimum timing of delivery. This review outlines the immunosuppressive actions of the individual pathogens involved in BRDC and highlights the key issues in the development of vaccinations against them.

Abstract
The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) remains a major problem for both beef and dairy cattle industries worldwide. BRDC frequently involves an initial viral respiratory infection resulting in immunosuppression, which creates a favorable condition for fatal secondary bacterial infection. Current polyvalent modified live vaccines against bovine herpesvirus type 1(BoHV-1) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) have limitations concerning their safety and efficacy. To address these shortcomings and safety issues, we have constructed a quadruple gene mutated BoHV-1 vaccine vector (BoHV-1 QMV), which expresses BVDV type 2, chimeric E2 and Flag-tagged Erns-fused with bovine granulocyte monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) designated here as QMV-BVD2*. Here we compared the safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of QMV-BVD2* vaccination in calves against BVDV-2 with Zoetis Bovi-shield Gold 3 trivalent (BoHV-1, BVDV types 1 and 2) vaccine. The QMV-BVD2* prototype subunit vaccine induced the BoHV-1 and BVDV-2 neutralizing antibody responses along with BVDV-1 and -2 cross-reactive cellular immune responses. Moreover, after a virulent BVDV-2 challenge, the QMV-BVD2* prototype subunit vaccine conferred a more rapid recall BVDV-2-specific neutralizing antibody response and considerably better recall BVDV types 1 and 2-cross protective cellular immune responses than that of the Zoetis Bovi-shield Gold 3.

Abstract
The ability to establish, maintain, and reactivate from latency in sensory neurons within trigeminal ganglia (TG) is crucial for bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) transmission. In contrast to lytic infection, the only viral gene abundantly expressed during latency is the latency-related (LR) gene. The synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone consistently induces reactivation from latency, in part because the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transactivates viral promoters that drive expression of key viral transcriptional regulator proteins (bICP0 and bICP4). Within hours after dexamethasone treatment of latently infected calves, LR gene products and β-catenin are not readily detected in TG neurons. Hence, we hypothesized that LR gene products and/or β-catenin restrict GR-mediated transcriptional activation. A plasmid expressing LR RNA sequences that span open reading frame 2 (ORF2-Stop) inhibited GR-mediated transactivation of the BoHV-1 immediate early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1) and mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter activity in mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2A). ORF2-Stop also reduced productive infection and GR steady-state protein levels in transfected Neuro-2A cells. Additional studies revealed that the constitutively active β-catenin mutant reduced the transactivation of the IEtu1 promoter by GR and dexamethasone. Collectively, these studies suggest ORF2 RNA sequences and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway actively promote maintenance of latency, in part, by impairing GR-mediated gene expression.

Abstract
As a multifactor disease, the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) causes high morbidity and mortality that is devastating to the cattle industry. To assess viral infections in beef cattle suffering from respiratory diseases in Inner Mongolia, 302 nasal swabs and serum samples were randomly collected from cattle with mild respiratory symptoms between March 2018 and May 2019. Our results showed that the rate of RT-PCR results positive for nucleic acids of viral pathogens in 6 cities was between 54 and 80%.The rates of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1), bovine parainfluenza virus type 3(BPIV3), and bovine respiratory syncytial virus(BRSV)infections were 44.70% (135/302), 24.83% (75/302), 5.63% (17/302), and 6.95% (21/302),respectively. There are also 8.94% (27/302) of samples were positive for BVDV and BHV-1, and 3.97% (12/302) of samples were positive for BPIV3 and BRSV. In addition, the RT-PCR products were sequenced, and phylogenetic analysis based on these sequences was performed. The results indicated that: a) all of the BVDV isolates were BVDV-1 and were classified as BVDV-1a (66.67%) and BVDV-1b (33.33%); b) all of the BHV-1 isolates were classified as subtype 1.1; 44.44% of the isolates were closely related to modified live viral vaccine strains, and 55.56% of the isolates were closer to epidemic strains; c) all of the BPIV3 isolates belonged to BPIV3c; d) all of the BRSV isolates were classified into subgroup III. It is suggested that an important cause of respiratory diseases for beef cattle is viral infection, and phylogenetic analysis can help us choose the proper strain to develop a vaccine.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) uses many mechanisms to elude the immune system; one of them is spreading intracellularly, even in the presence of specific antiviral antibodies. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are necessary to eliminate the virus. The main preventive strategy is vaccination based on inactivated virus. These vaccines are poor inducers of cellular immune responses, and complicate serological diagnosis and determination of the real prevalence of infection. DNA vaccines are a good option because of the capacity of Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals-(DIVA vaccine)-and may be the best way to induce cytotoxic responses. Although this type of vaccines leads to only weak "in vivo" expression and poor immune responses, incorporation of molecular and/or chemical adjuvants can improve the latter, both in magnitude and in direction. In this study, we have investigated the specific immune responses elicited in mice by DNA vaccines based on the BoHV-1 glycoprotein D (pCIgD) with and without two different adjuvants: a plasmid encoding for murine CD40L (pCD40L) or Montanide™ 1113101PR (101). Mice vaccinated with pCIgD+CD40L, pCIgD+101, and pCIgD+CD40L+101 developed significantly higher specific antibody titers against BoHV-1 than the pCIgD group (p < 0.01). The animals vaccinated with pCgD+pCD40L+101 raised significantly higher levels of IgG2a and IgG2b (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) than mice vaccinated with pCIgD alone. On the contrary, when the activity of CTL against cells infected with BoHV-1 was measured, the vaccine pCgD+pCD40L+101 induced significantly higher levels of cytotoxicity activity (p < 0.001) than pCIgD alone. A significant increase in the CD4+ populations in the group receiving pCIgD+CD40L+101 in comparison with the pCIgD group was observed and, also, interferon gamma, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-17A levels were higher. Considering the results obtained from this study for humoral and cellular responses in mice, the inclusion of pCD40L and 101 as adjuvants in a BoHV-1 DNA vaccine for cattle is highly recommendable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fenbendazole, a dewormer drug, is used widely in the clinical treatment of parasite infections in animals. Recent studies have shown that fenbendazole has substantial effects on tumor growth, immune responses, and inflammatory responses, suggesting that fenbendazole is a pluripotent drug. Nevertheless, the antiviral effects have not been reported. Fenbendazole can disrupt microtubules, which are essential for multiple viruses infections, suggesting that fenbendazole might have antiviral effects. OBJECTIVES This study examined whether fenbendazole could inhibit bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection in cell cultures. METHODS The effects of fenbendazole on viral production, transcription of the immediate early (IE) genes, viron-associated protein expression, and the cellular signaling PLC-γ1/Akt pathway were assessed using distinct methods. RESULTS Fenbendazole could inhibit BoHV-1 productive infections significantly in MDBK cells in a dose-dependent manner. A time-of-addition assay indicated that fenbendazole affected both the early and late stages in the virus replication cycles. The transcription of IE genes, including BoHV-1 infected cell protein 0 (bICP0), bCP4, and bICP22, as well as the synthesis of viron-associated proteins, were disrupted differentially by the fenbendazole treatment. The treatment did not affect the cellular signaling pathway of PLC-γ1/Akt, a known cascade playing important roles in virus infection. CONCLUSIONS Overall, fenbendazole has antiviral effects on BoHV-1 replication.

Two Separate Tyrosine-Based YXXL/Φ Motifs within the Glycoprotein E Cytoplasmic Tail of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Contribute in Virus Anterograde Neuronal Transport. Viruses 2020; 12:v12091025. [PMID: 32937797 PMCID: PMC7551581 DOI: 10.3390/v12091025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) causes respiratory infection and abortion in cattle. Following a primary infection, BHV-1 establishes lifelong latency in the trigeminal ganglia (TG). Periodic reactivation of the latent virus in TG neurons results in anterograde virus transport to nerve endings in the nasal mucosa and nasal virus shedding. The BHV-1 glycoprotein E cytoplasmic tail (gE-CT) is necessary for virus cell-to-cell spread in epithelial cells and neuronal anterograde transport. Recently, we identified two tyrosine residues, Y467 and Y563, within the tyrosine-based motifs 467YTSL470 and 563YTVV566, which, together, account for the gE CT-mediated efficient cell-to-cell spread of BHV-1 in epithelial cells. Here, we determined that in primary neuron cultures in vitro, the individual alanine exchange Y467A or Y563A mutants had significantly diminished anterograde axonal spread. Remarkably, the double-alanine-exchanged Y467A/Y563A mutant virus was not transported anterogradely. Following intranasal infection of rabbits, both wild-type (wt) and the Y467A/Y563A mutant viruses established latency in the TG. Upon dexamethasone-induced reactivation, both wt and the mutant viruses reactivated and replicated equally efficiently in the TG. However, upon reactivation, only the wt, not the mutant, was isolated from nasal swabs. Therefore, the gE-CT tyrosine residues Y467 and Y563 together are required for gE CT-mediated anterograde neuronal transport.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes great economic losses in the cattle industry. Herpesvirus infection generally induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in infected cells. However, it is not clear whether ER stress and UPR can be induced by BoHV-1 infection. Here, we found that ER stress induced by BoHV-1 infection could activate all three UPR sensors (the activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), and the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK)) in MDBK cells. During BoHV-1 infection, the ATF6 pathway of UPR did not affect viral replication. However, both knockdown and specific chemical inhibition of PERK attenuated the BoHV-1 proliferation, and chemical inhibition of PERK significantly reduced the viral replication at the post-entry step of the BoHV-1 life cycle. Furthermore, knockdown of IRE1 inhibits BoHV-1 replication, indicating that the IRE1 pathway may promote viral replication. Further study revealed that BoHV-1 replication was enhanced by IRE1 RNase activity inhibition at the stage of virus post-entry in MDBK cells. Furthermore, IRE1 kinase activity inhibition and RNase activity enhancement decrease BoHV1 replication via affecting the virus post-entry step. Our study revealed that BoHV-1 infection activated all three UPR signaling pathways in MDBK cells, and BoHV-1-induced PERK and IRE1 pathways may promote viral replication. This study provides a new perspective for the interactions of BoHV-1 and UPR, which is helpful to further elucidate the mechanism of BoHV-1 pathogenesis.
