Park SW, Park IB, Kang SJ, Bae J, Chun T. Interaction between host cell proteins and open reading frames of porcine circovirus type 2. JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2023; 65:698-719. [PMID: 37970506 PMCID: PMC10640953 DOI: 10.5187/jast.2023.e67] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is caused by a systemic inflammation after porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. It was one of the most economically important pathogens affecting pig production worldwide before PCV2 vaccine was first introduced in 2006. After the development of a vaccine against PCV2a type, pig farms gradually restored enormous economic losses from PMWS. However, vaccine against PCV2a type could not be fully effective against several different PCV2 genotypes (PCV2b - PCV2h). In addition, PCV2a vaccine itself could generate antigenic drift of PCV2 capsid. Therefore, PCV2 infection still threats pig industry worldwide. PCV2 infection was initially found in local tissues including reproductive, respiratory, and digestive tracks. However, PCV2 infection often leads to a systemic inflammation which can cause severe immunosuppression by depleting peripheral lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid tissues. Subsequently, a secondary infection with other microorganisms can cause PMWS. Eleven putative open reading frames (ORFs) have been predicted to encode PCV2 genome. Among them, gene products of six ORFs from ORF1 to ORF6 have been identified and characterized to estimate its functional role during PCV2 infection. Acquiring knowledge about the specific interaction between each PCV2 ORF protein and host protein might be a key to develop preventive or therapeutic tools to control PCV2 infection. In this article, we reviewed current understanding of how each ORF of PCV2 manipulates host cell signaling related to immune suppression caused by PCV2.

Dan Y, Yang L, Zhang H, Ren Y, He H, Yang F, Zhu J, Xiang H. The orf virus 129 protein can inhibit immune responses by interacting with host complement C1q binding protein in goat turbinate bone cells. Vet Microbiol 2023; 283:109782. [PMID: 37270925 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2023.109782] [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: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Contagious ecthyma is a severe and highly contagious disease caused by an orf virus (ORFV). The virus is responsible for substantial economic losses in the goat industry and threatens humans. We previously determined the role of ORFV129 protein, one of the five ankyrin-repeat proteins coded by the orf genome, in suppressing the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β and IFN-γ. In the present study, we identified 14 cellular proteins (complement C1q binding protein [C1QBP], MCM7, EIF5A, PKM, SLC6A, TSPAN6, ATP6AP2, GPS1, MMADHC, HSPB6, SLC35B1, MTF1, P3H4, and IL15RA) that interact with ORFV129 using a yeast two-hybrid system in goat turbinate bone cells (GFTCs). The interaction between ORFV129 and (C1QBP), an immune-related protein, was confirmed using immunofluorescence co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation assays. C1QBP overexpression inhibited ORFV replication, whereas the knockdown of C1QBP promoted ORFV replication in GFTCs. Furthermore, ORFV or ORFV129 increased C1QBP expression in GFTCs, indicated that ORFV129-C1QBP interaction might contribute to the ORFV-induced host immune process. In addition, our research showed that ORFV increased the expression of ORFV129, cytokine IL-6, IL-1β and IFN-γ. C1QBP overexpression induced IFN-γ production and reduced IL-6 and IL-1β production. Conversely, C1QBP knockdown induced IL-1β production and reduced IFN-γ and IL-1β production. Moreover, augmentation of ORFV129 expression enhanced the inhibition of the secretion of cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and IFN-γ induced by the altered expression of C1QBP. These findings suggest different downstream pathways might be involved in regulating different cytokines induced by ORFV129 expression in GFTCs.

Abstract
Porcine circoviruses (PCVs), including PCV1 to PCV4, are non-enveloped DNA viruses with a diameter of about 20 nm, belonging to the genus Circovirus in the family Circoviridae. PCV2 is an important causative agent of porcine circovirus disease or porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVD/PCVAD), which is highly prevalent in pigs and seriously affects the swine industry globally. Furthermore, PCV2 mainly causes subclinical symptoms and immunosuppression, and PCV3 and PCV4 were detected in healthy pigs, sick pigs, and other animals. Although the pathogenicity of PCV3 and PCV4 in the field is still controversial, the infection rates of PCV3 and PCV4 in pigs are increasing. Moreover, PCV3 and PCV4 rescued from infected clones were pathogenic in vivo. It is worth noting that the interaction between virus and host is crucial to the infection and pathogenicity of the virus. This review discusses the latest research progress on the molecular mechanism of PCVs–host interaction, which may provide a scientific basis for disease prevention and control.

Porcine TRIM21 Enhances Porcine Circovirus 2 Infection and Host Immune Responses, But Inhibits Apoptosis of PCV2-Infected Cells. Viruses 2022; 14:v14010156. [PMID: 35062360 PMCID: PMC8780438 DOI: 10.3390/v14010156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Tripartite motif protein 21 (TRIM21) is an interferon-inducible E3 ligase, containing one RING finger domain, one B-box motif, one coiled-coil domain at the N-terminal, as well as one PRY domain and one SPRY domain at the C-terminal. TRIM21 is expressed in many tissues and plays an important role in systemic autoimmunity. However, TRIM21 plays different roles in different virus infections. In this study, we evaluate the relationship between porcine TRIM21 and PCV2 infection as well as host immune responses. We found that PCV2 infection modulated the expression of porcine TRIM21. TRIM21 can enhance interferons and proinflammatory factors and decrease cellular apoptosis in PCV2-infected cells. These results indicate that porcine TRIM21 plays a critical role in enhancing PCV2 infection, which is a promising target for controlling and developing the treatment of PCV2 infection.

Abstract
Complement component 1 Q subcomponent-binding protein (C1QBP) has been shown to interact with the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) Cap protein. Here, using yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and co-immunoprecipitation assays, as well as laser confocal microscopy, the interaction between C1QBP and Cap was confirmed. Furthermore, overexpression of C1QBP in cells altered the intracellular location of Cap, which was observed using confocal microscopy and verified by detection of Cap in nuclear protein extracts in a Western blot assay. By inhibiting nuclear transport of Cap, overexpression of C1QBP downregulated PCV2 proliferation in PK-15 cells, as determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). As C1QBP plays a similar role in a fusion of green fluorescent protein (GFP) with the Cap nuclear localisation signal (NLS) sequence, (CapNLS-GFP), we propose that the target site for C1QBP in Cap is possibly located in the NLS region. Considering all the results together, this study demonstrated that C1QBP interacts with the Cap NLS region, resulting in changes in the intracellular localisation of the Cap protein. We confirmed that overexpression of C1QBP inhibits the proliferation of PCV2, and this is possibly related to the function of C1QBP in controlling nuclear transport of Cap.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) capsid protein (Cap) was previously reported to interact with nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 4 (NAP1L4). The biological function of Cap-NAP1L4 interaction is unknown. Here, we demonstrated that PCV2 Cap could directly interact with NAP1L4, which the amino acid residues 124-279 of NAP1L4 were responsible for the interaction. Furthermore, over-expression of NAP1L4 down-regulated the expression of PCV2 Cap and Rep. DNA copies and virus titers were also decreased in NAP1L4 over-expressed PK15 cells. While, knockout of NAP1L4 through CRISPR/Cas9 technology in PK15 cells could up-regulate the mRNA and protein levels of PCV2 Cap and Rep. PCV2 genomic DNA copies and virus titers were also increased in NAP1L4-knockdown/-knockout PK15 cells compared with wild type PK15 cells. In addition, NAP1L4 depletion was demonstrated to facilitate cytosolic carboxypeptidase-like protein 5 (CCP5) and cytosolic carboxypeptidase 6 (CCP6) expression, which could activate cGAS to promote IFN-β production. Indeed, knockout of NAP1L4 was also confirmed to increase IFN-β expression. And IFN-β stimulation could promote PCV2 replication in PK15 cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that NAP1L4 interacts with PCV2 Cap and inhibits PCV2 replication through regulating IFN-β production. Our study provides theoretical basis for further study of PCV2.

Abstract
Complement component 1, q subcomponent binding protein (C1QBP) is a receptor for the globular heads of C1q and modulates various biological processes including infection, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. In our previous study to identify differentially expressed secretory proteins in Marc-145 cells infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), mass spectrum data showed that C1QBP was secreted after PRRSV infection. However, the biological significance of secreted C1QBP remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that PRRSV infection promoted C1QBP secretion in Marc-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), the target cells of PRRSV in vivo. Knockdown of endogenous C1QBP decreased PRRSV-induced inflammatory responses. The purified recombinant porcine C1QBP (poC1QBP) had proinflammatory effects. The exogenous addition of poC1QBP significantly enhanced PRRSV-induced inflammatory responses and abolished the inhibitory effects mediated by poC1QBP-knockdown. Taken together, these results demonstrate that PRRSV infection promotes poC1QBP secretion that enhances inflammatory responses.

The ORF5 protein of porcine circovirus type 2 enhances viral replication by dampening type I interferon expression in porcine epithelial cells. Vet Microbiol 2018; 226:50-58.

Abstract
Identifying the functional role of each porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) ORF associated with host cell modulation might provide better knowledge about the pathogenesis of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2 ORF5 was recently identified and the functional role of ORF5 during pathogenesis after PCV2 infection is largely unknown. In this study, we used RNA-seq to investigate the functional role of PCV2 ORF5 in PCV2-infected porcine epithelial cells. Our data demonstrates that PCV2 ORF5 could inhibit type I interferon (IFN) expression via transcriptional repression of genes involved in type I IFN production, thus enhancing replication of PCV2 in porcine epithelial cells. Therefore, PCV2 ORF5 might have an inhibitory role against host immune surveillance.

Abstract
Porcine circoviruses (PCV) are small, non-enveloped single-stranded DNA-viruses. Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) is the causal agent of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) whereas porcine circovirus of type 1 (PCV-1) is non- pathogenic. gC1qR is a membrane-located receptor of the complement protein subunit C1q and interacts with PCV capsid proteins. The mechanisms associated with the triggering of PMWS are not well known and gC1qR may have a role in the life cycle and eventually in the pathogenicity of PCV. The objectives of this study were to determine the level of expression of gC1qR during early PCV-2 infection, to determine the region of PCV-2 capsid protein (Cap) required for the interaction with gC1qR and to evaluate the interaction of gC1qR with Cap proteins of different PCV strains. The results indicate that gC1qR transcripts are downregulated in the tonsils and the tracheo-bronchial lymph nodes of piglets infected by PCV-2 at the early time of the infection. The N-terminal amino acids (a.a. 1-59) of PCV-2b Cap, an arginine rich region, are involved in the interaction with gC1qR. Porcine gC1qR interacts with Cap proteins of two pathogenic viral strains, PCV-2a and PCV-2b, while interaction has been observed with only one Cap protein of two investigated strains of PCV-1. The amino acids 30 and 49 of PCV-1Cap, solely, were not responsible of the difference of interaction observed. We have also shown that gC1qR interacts strongly with PCV-2Caps and PCV-1 GER Cap. This result suggests that the different interaction of gC1qR with PCV Cap proteins may have an impact on the pathogenicity of the PCV.
