Comparison of immune effects of porcine circovirus type 2d (PCV2d) capsid protein expressed by Escherichia coli and baculovirus-insect cells. Vaccine 2024; 42:2848-2857. [PMID: 38514351 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.03.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important pathogen harmful to global pig production, which causes immunosuppression and serious economic losses. PCV2 capsid (Cap) protein expressed by E. coli or baculovirus-insect cells are often used in preparation of PCV2 subunit vaccines, but the latter is expensive to produce. It is therefore crucial to comparison of the immune effects of Cap protein expressed by the above two expression systems for reducing the production cost and guaranteeing PCV2 vaccine quality. In this study, the PCV2d-Cap protein lacking nuclear localization signal (NLS), designated as E. coli-Cap and Bac-Cap, was expressed by E. coli and baculovirus-Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 (Bac-Sf9) cells, respectively. The expressed Cap proteins could self-assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs), but the Bac-Cap-assembled VLPs were more regular. The two system-expressed Cap proteins induced similar specific IgG responses in mice, but the neutralizing antibody levels of Bac-Cap-immunized mice was higher than those of E. coli-Cap. After PCV2 challenge, IL-10 in Bac-Cap immunized mice decreased significantly than that in E. coli-Cap. The lesions and PCV2 antigen positive cells in tissues of mice immunized with E. coli-Cap and Bac-Cap were significantly reduced, and Bac-Cap appeared mild lesions and fewer PCV2 antigen-positive cells compared with E. coli-Cap immunized mice. The study indicated that Cap proteins expressed by E. coli and Bac-Sf9 cells could induce specific protective immunity, but the latter induced more effective immunity, which provides valuable information for the research and development of PCV2 vaccine.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus (PCV), a member of the Circoviridae family within the genus Circovirus, poses a significant economic risk to the global swine industry. PCV2, which has nine identified genotypes (a-i), has emerged as the predominant genotype worldwide, particularly PCV2d. PCV2 has been commonly found in both domestic pigs and wild boars, and sporadically in non-porcine animals. The virus spreads among swine populations through horizontal and vertical transmission routes. Despite the availability of commercial vaccines for controlling porcine circovirus infections and associated diseases, the continuous genotypic shifts from a to b, and subsequently from b to d, have maintained PCV2 as a significant pathogen with substantial economic implications. This review aims to provide an updated understanding of the biology, genetic variation, distribution, and preventive strategies concerning porcine circoviruses and their associated diseases in swine.

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.

A first glimpse into the transcriptomic changes induced by the PaV1 infection in the gut of Caribbean spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) (Decapoda: Achelata: Palinuridae). Virus Res 2022; 311:198713. [PMID: 35176328 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2022.198713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) supports important fisheries in the Caribbean region. This species is affected by a deadly virus, Panulirus argus Virus 1 (PaV1), the only known pathogenic virus for this species. As infection progresses, the effects of PaV1 on its host become systemic, with far reaching impacts on the host's physiology, including structural injuries to its gastrointestinal organs, such as the hepatopancreas and the gut. This last one becomes highly compromised in the last stages of infection. Since the gut is a key organ for the physiological stability of lobsters, we compared the transcriptomic changes in the gut of juvenile individuals of Panulirus argus naturally infected with PaV1. In the RNA-Seq analysis, we obtained a total of 485 × 106 raw reads. After cleaning, reads were de novo assembled into 68,842 transcripts and 50,257 unigenes. The length of unigenes ranged from 201 bp to 28,717 bp, with a N50 length of 2079, and a GC content of 40.61%. In the differential gene expression analysis, we identified a total of 3,405 non redundant differential transcripts, of which 1,920 were up-regulated and 1,485 were down-regulated. We found alterations in transcripts encoding for proteins involved in transcriptional regulation, splicing, postraductional regulation, protein signaling, transmembrane transport, cytoskeletal regulation, and proteolysis, among others. This is the first insight into the transcriptomic regulation of PaV1-P. argus interaction. The information generated can help to unravel the molecular mechanisms that may intervene in the gut during PaV1 infection.

Emergence of porcine circovirus 2g (PCV2g) and evidence for recombination between genotypes 2g, 2b and 2d among field isolates from non-vaccinated pigs in Mizoram, India. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2021; 90:104775.

Abstract
The molecular genetics of fourteen Porcine Circovirus 2 (PCV2) isolates from non-vaccinated pigs that died of porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD) between 2012 and 2019 in the Mizoram state of North East India, was studied. The PCVAD in these pigs, that had shown characteristic clinical signs and lesions associated with post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome and reproductive failure was confirmed with detection of PCV2 DNA in the tissue samples. Complete viral genomes of these fourteen field isolates were sequenced following in house developed overlapping PCR. The multiple sequence alignment of viral capsid proteins or the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) sequences showed highly conserved residues known for antibody recognition and genotype specificity, however, variations were noticed in the amino acid residues previously known as important for in vitro replication of PCV2. The phylogenetic analyses based on the complete genome sequences enabled identification of genotype PCV2g (9/14, 64.29%) for the first time in India along with genotypes PCV2d (3/14, 21.43%) and PCV2b (2/14, 14.29%). Further, recombination analyses showed evidence for recombination between the genotypes 2b, 2g and 2d. This is the first report on the prevalence of genotype PCV2g and natural inter-genotypic (2g-2b, 2g-2d and 2d-2g) recombinants in India. The findings indicate a non-vaccine driven, natural genotypic shift and signify the need for routine PCV2 surveillance and genotyping. Our analyses also provide a solid ground for future studies to understand the consequences of multiple PCV2 genotypes within a pig population with respect to vaccination, diagnostics and emergence of new genotypes.

Abstract
YWHAB is a PCV2 ORF5-interacting host factor. YWHAB expression is activated by PCV2 infection and ORF5 transfection. YWHAB inhibits PCV2 replication. YWHAB alleviates PCV2 infection induced ERS, autophagy, ROS production and apoptosis.
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection causes porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVAD) worldwide. Identification of host factors that interact with viral proteins is a fundamental step to understand the pathogenesis of PCV2. Our previous study reported that ORF5, a newly identified PCV2 viral protein supports PCV2 replication and interacts with multiple host factors. Here, we showed that a host factor YWHAB is an ORF5-interacting protein and plays essential roles during PCV2 infection. By using protein-protein interaction assays, we confirmed that YWHAB directly interacts with PCV2-ORF5 protein. We further showed that YWHAB expression was potently induced upon ORF5 overexpression and PCV2 infection. Remarkably, we found that the YWHAB strongly inhibited PCV2 replication, suggesting its role in defending PCV2 infection. By using the ectopic overexpression and gene knockdown approaches, we revealed that YWHAB inhibits PCV2-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), autophagy, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis, suggesting its vital role in alleviating PCV2-induced cellular damage. Together, this study demonstrated that an ORF5-interacting host factor YWHAB affects PCV2 infection and PCV2-induced cellular response, which expands the current understanding of YWHAB biological function and might serves as a new therapeutic target to manage PCV2 infection-associated diseases.

Abstract
Background Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is recognized as virulent porcine pathogen and has been linked to porcine circovirus diseases (PCVD). However, there remain many unknowns regarding the spread and epidemic growth of PCV2. Methods To assess the genetic diversity of PCV2 in the southern China, a total of 92 sequences of PCV2 strains from this region were retrieved from GenBank and were subjected to amino acid variation and phylogenetic analyses together with 28 representative sequences, based on the sequence of the ORF2 gene, from different swine‐producing countries. Results All 92 PCV2 strains shared between 93.7% and 100% sequence similarity and could be divided into four genotypes (PCV2a, PCV2b, PCV2d and PCV2h), of which PCV2d had surpassed PCV2b and became the most prevalent PCV2 genotype in this region. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of the capsid protein revealed that the obtained PCV2 strains possess two major heterogenic regions/hypervariable regions (positions 52–68 and 185–191), which were within or close to the epitopic regions in the capsid (Cap) protein. Meanwhile, the 92 PCV2 sequences also show evidence of at least five unique recombination events. Conclusion The data in this study indicate that the PCV2 strains in the southern China are undergoing constant genetic variation and that the predominant strain and its antigenic epitopes in this area have been gradually changing in recent years.

Abstract
Hsp40/DnaJ family proteins play important roles in the infection process of various viruses. Porcine DNAJB6 (pDNAJB6) is a major member of this family, but its role in modulating the replication of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is still unclear. In the present study, pDNAJB6 was found to be significantly upregulated by PCV2 infection, and confirmed to be interacted with PCV2 capsid (Cap) protein and co-localized at both cytoplasm and nucleus in the PCV2-infected cells. Knockout of pDNAJB6 significantly reduced the formation of autophagosomes in PCV2-infected cells or in the cells expressing Cap protein, whereas overexpression of pDNAJB6 showed an opposite effect. In addition, the domain mapping assay showed that the J domain of pDNAJB6 (amino acids (aa) 1–99) and the C terminus of Cap (162-234 aa) were required for the interaction of pDNAJB6 with Cap. Notably, the interaction of pDNAJB6 with Cap was very important to promoting the formation of autophagosomes induced by PCV2 infection or Cap expression and enhancing the replication of PCV2. Taken together, the results presented here show a novel function of pDNAJB6 in regulation of porcine circovirus replication that pDNAJB6 enhances the formation of autophagy to promote viral replication through interacting with viral capsid protein during PCV2 infection.

Abstract
Apoptin is the Vp3 protein of chicken anemia virus (CAV), which infects the thymocytes and erythroblasts in young chickens, causing chicken infectious anemia and immunosuppression. Apoptin is highly studied for its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in human tumor cells and, thus, is a protein of interest in anti-tumor therapy. CAV apoptin is known to localize to different subcellular compartments in transformed and non-transformed cells, depending on the DNA damage response, and the phosphorylation of several identified threonine residues. In addition, apoptin interacts with molecular machinery such as the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) to inhibit the cell cycle and induce arrest in G2/M phase. While these functions of apoptin contribute to the tumor-selective effect of the protein, they also provide an important fundamental framework to apoptin’s role in viral infection, pathogenesis, and propagation. Here, we reviewed how the regulation, localization, and functions of apoptin contribute to the viral life cycle and postulated its importance in efficient replication of CAV. A model of the molecular biology of infection is critical to informing our understanding of CAV and other related animal viruses that threaten the agricultural industry.

Porcine circovirus type 2 ORF5 protein induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response in porcine alveolar macrophages. Arch Virol 2019; 164:1323-1334.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential infectious agent causing porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVD) in pigs and one of the important viruses that severely jeopardize the swine husbandry industry. PCV2 elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR) via activation of the PERK pathway, and its capsid protein (Cap) has also been found to induce UPR with subsequent activation of apoptosis. The open reading frame 5 (ORF5) protein is a recently discovered non-structural protein, and its function in PCV2 pathogenesis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether the PCV2 ORF5 protein could induce endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and UPR in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). pEGFP-tagged ORF5 protein was transiently overexpressed in PAMs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to examine changes in ER morphology, and quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting analysis were used to measure UPR-related cell signaling alterations. We found that the ORF5 protein triggers swelling and degranulation of the ER and upregulates the expression of ERS markers. Further experiments demonstrated that the PCV2 ORF5 protein induces ERS and UPR via the PERK (RNA-activated protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase), ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6) and IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme 1) signaling pathways. Together with previous studies, we provide new information on the ERS-UPR induced by the PCV2 ORF5 protein.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an economically important swine pathogen but some extra trigger factors are required for the development of PCV2-associated diseases. By evaluating cap protein expression, viral DNA copies and the number of infected cells, the present study further confirmed that oxidative stress can promote PCV2 replication. The results showed that oxidative stress induced autophagy in PCV2-infected PK15 cells. Blocking autophagy with inhibitor 3-methyladenine or ATG5-specific siRNA significantly inhibited oxidative stress-promoted PCV2 replication. Importantly, autophagy inhibition significantly increased apoptosis in oxidative stress-treated PK15 cells. Suppression of apoptosis by benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp fluoromethylketone in conditions of autophagy inhibition restored PCV2 replication. Taken together, autophagy protected host cells against potential apoptosis and then contributed to PCV2 replication promotion caused by oxidative stress. Our findings can partly explain the pathogenic mechanism of PCV2 related to the oxidative stress-induced autophagy.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the infectious agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). The recently discovered open reading frame 5 (ORF5) in PCV2 genome encodes a non-structural protein. Previous study revealed that ORF5 protein inhibits cell proliferation and may interact with host transmembrane glycoprotein NMB (GPNMB). However, whether the GPNMB affects PCV2 replication and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unknown. In this study, the transcriptome maps of PCV2-infected and ORF5-transfected porcine alveolar macrophages 3D4/2 (PAM) cells were profiled. The GPNMB gene was down-regulated in PCV2-infected and ORF5-transfected PAMs. By using glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and confocal microscopy approaches, we convincingly showed that PCV2 ORF5 protein interacts with GPNMB. Furthermore, by utilizing lentivirus mediated overexpression or knockdown approach, we showed that the cellular GPNMB significantly inhibits PCV2 replication and ORF5 expression. Moreover, GPNMB overexpressing leads to an increased Cyclin A expression and a reduced S phase, whereas GPNMB knockdown causes a decreased Cyclin A expression and a prolonged S phase. In conclusion, we identified a novel host factor GPNMB that interacts with PCV2 ORF5 protein and restricts PCV2 replication.

Abstract
Apoptosis, an indispensable innate immune mechanism, regulates cellular homeostasis by removing unnecessary or damaged cells. It contains three signaling pathways: the mitochondria-mediated pathway, the death receptor pathway and the endoplasmic reticulum pathway. The importance of apoptosis in host defenses is stressed by the observation that multiple viruses have evolved various strategies to inhibit apoptosis, thereby blunting the host immune responses and promoting viral propagation. Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) utilizes various strategies to induce or inhibit programmed cell death. In this article, we review the latest research progress of the apoptosis mechanisms during infection with PCV2, including several proteins of PCV2 regulate apoptosis via interacting with host proteins and multiple signaling pathways involved in PCV2-induced apoptosis, which provides scientific basis for the pathogenesis and prevention of PCV2.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), the etiological agent of classical swine fever, causes enormous economic loss to the pig industry. Ferritin heavy chain (FHC) is a notable anti-apoptotic protein, and existing evidence suggests that CSFV cannot induce apoptosis of host cells, however, the role of FHC in CSFV replication remains unclear. In the present study, we found that recombinant lentivirus-mediated knockdown or overexpression of FHC inhibited or enhanced CSFV replication, respectively, indicating a positive role for FHC in CSFV proliferation. Furthermore, interaction between the CSFV NS4B protein and FHC was confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and confocal imaging assays. In addition, both CSFV replication and NS4B expression upregulated expression of FHC, which counteracts apoptosis by modulating cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). These results suggest that FHC, an NS4B-interacting protein, enhances CSFV replication and has a positive role in viral anti-apoptosis by regulating ROS accumulation. This work may provide a new perspective for understanding the mechanism of CSFV pathogenesis.

Caspase-Dependent Apoptosis Induction via Viral Protein ORF4 of Porcine Circovirus 2 Binding to Mitochondrial Adenine Nucleotide Translocase 3. J Virol 2018; 92:JVI.00238-18.

Abstract
Apoptosis is an essential strategy of host defense responses and is used by viruses to maintain their life cycles. However, the apoptotic signals involved in virus replication are poorly known. In the present study, we report the molecular mechanism of apoptotic induction by the viral protein ORF4, a newly identified viral protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). Apoptosis detection revealed not only that the activity of caspase-3 and -9 is increased in PCV2-infected and ORF4-transfected cells but also that cytochrome c release from the mitochondria to the cytosol is upregulated. Subsequently, ORF4 protein colocalization with adenine nucleotide translocase 3 (ANT3) was observed using structured illumination microscopy. Moreover, coimmunoprecipitation and pulldown analyses confirmed that the ORF4 protein interacts directly with mitochondrial ANT3 (mtANT3). Binding domain analysis further confirmed that N-terminal residues 1 to 30 of the ORF4 protein, comprising a mitochondrial targeting signal, are essential for the interaction with ANT3. Knockdown of ANT3 markedly inhibited the apoptotic induction of both ORF4 protein and PCV2, indicating that ANT3 plays an important role in ORF4 protein-induced apoptosis during PCV2 infection. Taken together, these data indicate that the ORF4 protein is a mitochondrial targeting protein that induces apoptosis by interacting with ANT3 through the mitochondrial pathway.IMPORTANCE The porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) protein ORF4 is a newly identified viral protein; however, little is known about its functions. Apoptosis is an essential strategy of the host defense response and is used by viruses to maintain their life cycles. In the present study, we report the molecular mechanism of the apoptosis induced by the ORF4 protein. The ORF4 protein contains a mitochondrial targeting signal and is an unstable protein that is degraded by the proteasome-dependent pathway. Viral protein ORF4 triggers caspase-3- and -9-dependent cellular apoptosis in mitochondria by directly binding to ANT3. We conclude that the ORF4 protein is a mitochondrial targeting protein and reveal a mechanism whereby circovirus recruits ANT3 to induce apoptosis.

Revisiting the taxonomy of the family Circoviridae: establishment of the genus Cyclovirus and removal of the genus Gyrovirus. Arch Virol 2017; 162:1447-1463.

Abstract
The family Circoviridae contains viruses with covalently closed, circular, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes, including the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid-encoding animal pathogens. Members of this family are known to cause fatal diseases in birds and pigs and have been historically classified in one of two genera: Circovirus, which contains avian and porcine pathogens, and Gyrovirus, which includes a single species (Chicken anemia virus). However, over the course of the past six years, viral metagenomic approaches as well as degenerate PCR detection in unconventional hosts and environmental samples have elucidated a broader host range, including fish, a diversity of mammals, and invertebrates, for members of the family Circoviridae. Notably, these methods have uncovered a distinct group of viruses that are closely related to members of the genus Circovirus and comprise a new genus, Cyclovirus. The discovery of new viruses and a re-evaluation of genomic features that characterize members of the Circoviridae prompted a revision of the classification criteria used for this family of animal viruses. Here we provide details on an updated Circoviridae taxonomy ratified by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses in 2016, which establishes the genus Cyclovirus and reassigns the genus Gyrovirus to the family Anelloviridae, a separate lineage of animal viruses that also contains circular ssDNA genomes. In addition, we provide a new species demarcation threshold of 80% genome-wide pairwise identity for members of the family Circoviridae, based on pairwise identity distribution analysis, and list guidelines to distinguish between members of this family and other eukaryotic viruses with circular, ssDNA genomes.
