Vuono E, Ramirez-Medina E, Silva E, Berggren K, Rai A, Espinoza N, Borca MV, Gladue DP. The Interaction between the DOCK7 Protein and the E2 Protein of Classical Swine Fever Virus Is Not Involved with Viral Replication or Pathogenicity. Viruses 2023; 16:70. [PMID: 38257770 PMCID: PMC10821278 DOI: 10.3390/v16010070] [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: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The classical swine fever virus (CSFV) particle consists of three glycoproteins, all of which have been shown to be important proteins involved in many virus functions, including interaction with several host proteins. One of these proteins, E2, has been shown to be directly involved with adsorption to the host cell and important for virus virulence. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have previously shown that CSFV E2 specifically interacts with the (DOCK7) dedicator of cytokinesis, a scaffolding protein. In this report, the interaction between E2 and DOCK7 was evaluated. To confirm the yeast two-hybrid results and to determine that DOCK7 interacts in swine cells with E2, we performed co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay (PLA). After demonstrating the protein interaction in swine cells, E2 amino acid residues Y65, V283, and T149 were determined to be critical for interaction with Dock7 by using a random mutated library of E2 and a reverse yeast two-hybrid approach. That disruption of these three residues with mutations Y65F, V283D, and T149A abrogated the Dock7-E2 protein interaction. These mutations were then introduced into a recombinant CSFV, E2DOCK7v, by a reverse genomics approach using the highly virulent CSFV Brescia isolate as a backbone. E2DOCKv was shown to have similar growth kinetics in swine primary macrophages and SK6 cell cultures to the parental Brescia strain. Similarly, E2DOCK7v demonstrated a similar level of virulence to the parental Brescia when inoculated in domestic pigs. Animals intranasally inoculated with 105 TCID50 developed a lethal form of clinical disease with virological and hematological kinetics changes indistinguishable from that produced by the parental strain. Therefore, interaction between CSFV E2 and host DOCK7 is not critically involved in the process of virus replication and disease production.

Abstract
The E2 glycoprotein is one of the four structural proteins of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) particle. E2 has been shown to be involved in many virus functions, including adsorption to host cells, virus virulence and interaction with several host proteins. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we have previously shown that the CSFV E2 specifically interacts with swine host protein medium-chain-specific acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ACADM), an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Here, we show that interaction between ACADM and E2 also happens in swine cells infected with CSFV using two different procedures: coimmunoprecipitation and a proximity ligation assay (PLA). In addition, the amino acid residues in E2 critically mediating the interaction with ACADM, M49 and P130 were identified via a reverse yeast two-hybrid screen using an expression library composed of randomly mutated versions of E2. A recombinant CSFV, E2ΔACADMv, harboring substitutions at residues M49I and P130Q in E2, was developed via reverse genomics from the highly virulent Brescia isolate. E2ΔACADMv was shown to have the same kinetics growth in swine primary macrophages and SK6 cell cultures as the parental Brescia strain. Similarly, E2ΔACADMv demonstrated a similar level of virulence when inoculated to domestic pigs as the parental Brescia. Animals intranasally inoculated with 105 TCID50 developed a lethal form of clinical disease with virological and hematological kinetics changes undistinguishable from those produced by the parental strain. Therefore, interaction between CSFV E2 and host ACADM is not critically involved in the processes of virus replication and disease production.

Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Restricted in Cytoplasmic Location by Viral GP5 Facilitates Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Replication via Its Glycolytic Activity. J Virol 2021; 95:e0021021. [PMID: 34160254 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00210-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important endemic swine pathogens, causing enormous losses in the global swine industry. Commercially available vaccines only partially prevent or counteract the virus infection and correlated losses. PRRSV's replication mechanism has not been well understood. In this study, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was screened to bind with the viral major envelope glycoprotein 5 (GP5) after PRRSV infection. The interacting sites are located within a 13-amino-acid (aa) region (aa 93 to 105) of GP5 and at Lys227 of GAPDH. Interestingly, viral GP5 restricts the translocation of GAPDH from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Moreover, cytoplasmic GAPDH facilitates PRRSV replication by virtue of its glycolytic activity. The results suggest that PRRSV GP5 restricts GAPDH to the nucleus and exploits its glycolytic activity to stimulate virus replication. The data provide insight into the role of GAPDH in PRRSV replication and reveal a potential target for controlling viral infection. IMPORTANCE PRRSV poses a severe economic threat to the pig industry. PRRSV GP5, the major viral envelope protein, plays an important role in viral infection, pathogenicity, and immunity. However, interactions between GP5 and host proteins have not yet been well studied. Here, we show that GAPDH interacts with GP5 through binding a 13-aa sequence (aa 93 to 105) in GP5, while GP5 interacts with GAPDH at the K277 amino acid residue of GAPDH. We demonstrate that GP5 interacts with GAPDH in the cytoplasm during PPRSV infection, inhibiting GAPDH entry into the nucleus. PRRSV exploits the glycolytic activity of GAPDH to promote viral replication. These results enrich our understanding of PRRSV infection and pathogenesis and open a new avenue for antiviral prevention and PRRSV treatment strategies.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by CSF virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious swine disease with high morbidity and mortality, which has caused significant economic losses to the pig industry worldwide. Biosecurity measures and vaccination are the main methods for prevention and control of CSF since no specific drug is available for the effective treatment of CSF. Although a series of biosecurity and vaccination strategies have been developed to curb the outbreak events, it is still difficult to eliminate CSF in CSF-endemic and re-emerging areas. Thus, in addition to implementing enhanced biosecurity measures and exploring more effective CSF vaccines, other strategies are also needed for effectively controlling CSF. Currently, more and more research about anti-CSFV strategies was carried out by scientists, because of the great prospects and value of anti-CSFV strategies in the prevention and control of CSF. Additionally, studies on anti-CSFV strategies could be used as a reference for other viruses in the Flaviviridae family, such as hepatitis C virus, dengue virus, and Zika virus. In this review, we aim to summarize the research on anti-CSFV strategies. In detail, host proteins affecting CSFV replication, drug candidates with anti-CSFV effects, and RNA interference (RNAi) targeting CSFV viral genes were mentioned and the possible mechanisms related to anti-CSFV effects were also summarized.

Abstract
Classical swine fever is a highly contagious disease in China. Although vaccination against Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) has been widely carried out in China, CSFV cases still emerge in an endless stream. Therefore, it is necessary to take new antiviral measures to eliminate CSFV. Glycoprotein E2 of CSFV is the major vaccine candidate that confers protective immunity. Thus, in this study, a batch of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against E2, as alternative antiviral strategies, were produced. Among them, mAbs 6D10, 8D8 and 3C12 presented neutralizing reactivity against CSFV in a dose-dependent manner. Based on truncated overlapping fragments of E2 and mutants, three linear neutralizing epitopes were identified highly conserved in various CSFV strains. Epitopes 8YRYAIS13 and 254HECLIG259 were reported for the first time. All the three epitopes are involved in virus internalization and attachment as shown in pre- or post-attachment neutralization. Recombinant polypeptides carrying epitopes successfully inhibit virus infection in PK-15 cells, indicating epitopes were located in receptor-binding domain (RBD). Further, both prophylactic and therapeutic functions of neutralizing antibody were evaluated in rabbits upon CSFV challenge, confirming the efficacy in vivo. These findings provide alternative antiviral strategies against CSFV and deepen the understanding in E2 function during virus entry.

SERTA Domain Containing Protein 1 (SERTAD1) Interacts with Classical Swine Fever Virus Structural Glycoprotein E2, Which Is Involved in Virus Virulence in Swine. Viruses 2020; 12:v12040421.

Abstract
E2 is the major structural glycoprotein of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV). E2 has been shown to be involved in important virus functions such as replication and virulence in swine. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we previously identified several host proteins specifically interacting with CSFV E2. Here, we analyze the protein interaction of E2 with SERTA domain containing protein 1 (SERTAD1), a factor involved in the stimulation of the transcriptional activities of different host genes. We have confirmed that the interaction between these two proteins occurs in CSFV-infected swine cells by using a proximity ligation assay and confocal microscopy. Amino acid residues in the CSFV E2 protein that are responsible for mediating the interaction with SERTAD1 were mapped by a yeast two-hybrid approach using a randomly mutated E2 library. Using that information, a recombinant CSFV mutant (E2ΔSERTAD1v) that harbors substitutions in those residues mediating the protein-interaction with SERTAD1 was developed and used to study the role of the E2-SERTAD1 interaction in viral replication and virulence in swine. CSFV E2ΔSERTAD1v, when compared to the parental BICv, showed a clearly decreased ability to replicate in the SK6 swine cell line and a more severe replication defect in primary swine macrophage cultures. Importantly, 80% of animals infected with E2ΔSERTAD1v survived infection, remaining clinically normal during the 21-day observational period. This result would indicate that the ability of CSFV E2 to bind host SERTAD1 protein during infection plays a critical role in virus virulence.

Abstract
Interactions between the major structural glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) with host proteins have been identified as important factors affecting virus replication and virulence. Previously, using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified swine host proteins specifically interacting with CSFV E2. In this report, we use a proximity ligation assay to demonstrate that swine host protein CCDC115 interacts with E2 in CSFV-infected swine cells. Using a randomly mutated E2 library in the context of a yeast two-hybrid methodology, specific amino acid mutations in the CSFV E2 protein responsible for disrupting the interaction with CCDC115 were identified. A recombinant CSFV mutant (E2ΔCCDC115v) harboring amino acid changes disrupting the E2 protein interaction with CCDC115 was produced and used as a tool to assess the role of the E2–CCDC115 interaction in viral replication and virulence in swine. CSFV E2ΔCCDC115v showed a slightly decreased ability to replicate in the SK6 swine cell line and a greater replication defect in primary swine macrophage cultures. A decreased E2–CCDC115 interaction detected by PLA is observed in cells infected with E2ΔCCDC115v. Importantly, animals intranasally infected with 105 TCID50 of E2ΔCCDC115v experienced a significantly longer survival period when compared with those infected with the parental Brescia strain. This result would indicate that the ability of CSFV E2 to bind host CCDC115 protein during infection plays an important role in virus replication in swine macrophages and in virus virulence during the infection in domestic swine.

Structural Glycoprotein E2 of Classical Swine Fever Virus Interacts with Host Protein Dynactin Subunit 6 (DCTN6) during the Virus Infectious Cycle. J Virol 2019; 94:JVI.01642-19.

Abstract
The E2 protein in classical swine fever (CSF) virus (CSFV) is the major virus structural glycoprotein and is an essential component of the viral particle. E2 has been shown to be involved in several functions, including virus adsorption, induction of protective immunity, and virulence in swine. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we previously identified a swine host protein, dynactin subunit 6 (DCTN6) (a component of the cell dynactin complex), as a specific binding partner for E2. We confirmed the interaction between DCTN6 and E2 proteins in CSFV-infected swine cells by using two additional independent methodologies, i.e., coimmunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays. E2 residues critical for mediating the protein-protein interaction with DCTN6 were mapped by a reverse yeast two-hybrid approach using a randomly mutated E2 library. A recombinant CSFV mutant, E2ΔDCTN6v, harboring specific substitutions in those critical residues was developed to assess the importance of the E2-DCTN6 protein-protein interaction for virus replication and virulence in swine. CSFV E2ΔDCTN6v showed reduced replication, compared with the parental virus, in an established swine cell line (SK6) and in primary swine macrophage cultures. Remarkably, animals infected with CSFV E2ΔDCTN6v remained clinically normal during the 21-day observation period, which suggests that the ability of CSFV E2 to bind host DCTN6 protein efficiently during infection may play a role in viral virulence.IMPORTANCE Structural glycoprotein E2 is an important component of CSFV due to its involvement in many virus activities, particularly virus-host interactions. Here, we present the description and characterization of the protein-protein interaction between E2 and the swine host protein DCTN6 during virus infection. The E2 amino acid residues mediating the interaction with DCTN6 were also identified. A recombinant CSFV harboring mutations disrupting the E2-DCTN6 interaction was created. The effect of disrupting the E2-DCTN6 protein-protein interaction was studied using reverse genetics. It was shown that the same amino acid substitutions that abrogated the E2-DCTN6 interaction in vitro constituted a critical factor in viral virulence in the natural host, domestic swine. This highlights the potential importance of the E2-DCTN6 protein-protein interaction in CSFV virulence and provides possible mechanisms of virus attenuation for the development of improved CSF vaccines.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a major infectious disease of pigs caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV). NS3 is one of the non-structural proteins of CSFV and plays an important role in the infection process. However, the NS3-interacting cellular proteins involved in viral replication are poorly documented. In this study, proteasome subunit beta 10 (PSMB10) was identified as a novel NS3-interacting partner using yeast two-hybrid screening of a porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cDNA library. The PSMB10-NS3 interaction was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase pulldown, and laser confocal microscopy. Overexpression of PSMB10 inhibited CSFV replication. Conversely, CSFV infection inhibited PSMB10 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that NS3 is degraded by PSMB10 through the ubiquitin-proteasome system and that CSFV inhibits the expression of MHC class I antigen presentation-related transporter proteins, whereas PSMB10 can restore the function of MHC class I antigen presentation and inhibit CSFV proliferation.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) E2 protein, the major virus structural glycoprotein, is an essential component of the viral envelope. E2 is involved in virus absorption, induction of a protective immune response and is critical for virulence in swine. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit beta (PPP1CB), which is part of the Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) complex, as a specific binding host partner for E2. We further confirmed the occurrence of this interaction in CSFV-infected swine cells by using two independent methodologies: Co-immunoprecipitation and Proximity Ligation Assay. In addition, we demonstrated that pharmacological activation of the PP1 pathway has a negative effect on CSFV replication while inhibition of the PP1 pathway or knockdown of PPP1CB by siRNA had no observed effect. Overall, our data suggests that the CSFV E2 and PPP1CB protein interact in infected cells, and that activation of the PP1 pathway decreases virus replication.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a contagious disease with a high mortality rate and is caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV). CSFV non-structural protein 4B (NS4B) plays a crucial role in CSFV replication and pathogenicity. However, precisely how NS4B exerts these functions remains unknown, especially as there are no reports relating to potential cellular partners of CSFV NS4B. Here, a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system was used to screen the cellular proteins interacting with NS4B from a porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) cDNA library. The protein screen along with alignment using the NCBI database revealed 14 cellular proteins that interact with NS4B: DDX39B, COX7C, FTH1, MAVS, NR2F6, RPLP1, PSMC4, FGL2, MKRN1, RPL15, RPS3, RAB22A, TP53BP2 and TBK1. These proteins mostly relate to oxidoreductase activity, signal transduction, localization, biological regulation, catalytic activity, transport and metabolism by GO categories. Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) was chosen for further confirmation. The NS4B-TBK1 interaction was further confirmed by subcellular co-location, co-immunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. This study offers a theoretical foundation for further understanding of the diversity of NS4B functions in relation to viral infection and subsequent pathogenesis.

Abstract
Classical swine fever, caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious and high-mortality viral disease, causing huge economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. CSFV non-structural protein 3 (NS3), a multifunctional protein, plays crucial roles in viral replication. However, how NS3 exactly exerts these functions is currently unknown. Here, we identified tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) as a novel binding partner of the NS3 protein via yeast two-hybrid, co-immunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. Furthermore, we observed that TRAF5 promoted CSFV replication in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Additionally, CSFV infection or NS3 expression upregulated TRAF5 expression, implying that CSFV may exploit TRAF5 via NS3 for better growth. Moreover, CSFV infection and TRAF5 expression activated p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity, and inhibition of p38 MAPK activation by the SB203580 inhibitor suppressed CSFV replication. Notably, TRAF5 overexpression did not promote CSFV replication following inhibition of p38 MAPK activation. Our findings reveal that TRAF5 promotes CSFV replication via p38 MAPK activation. This work provides a novel insight into the role of TRAF5 in CSFV replication capacity.

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.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) can utilize diverse host signaling pathways for its replication; however, the cross talk between mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and CSFV remains unknown. Here, we describe the potential role of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) in promoting CSFV replication via virus-induced hypophosphorylation of the Akt/mTORC1/S6 pathway, especially at an early stage of viral infection. Conversely, activation of mTORC1 inhibited the replication of CSFV. Furthermore, we revealed the underlying mechanisms of mTORC1 pathway in mediating CSFV replication; in addition, our data also showed that CSFV-induced transient inhibition of mTORC1 elicited a negative feedback activation of PI3K/Akt/mTORC1pathway, likely contributing to maintain the dynamic balance between viral replication and host cell survival. This study has provided strong evidence showing how CSFV utilizes mTORC1 pathway for viral replication at an early stage in the viral replicative cycle and how the mTORC1 rescues itself by eliciting a feedback loop to limit viral replication and maintain cell survival. Akt/mTORC1 pathway negatively regulates the replication of CSFV CSFV induces autophagy for viral replication in an mTORC1/ULK1-dependent manner CSFV enhances the translation of viral proteins in an mTORC1/S6K1/eIF3-dependent manner Feedback activation of Akt/mTORC1 equilibrates viral replication and cell survival

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is currently considered as one of the most important mosquito-borne viral pathogens affecting humans. Genetic variations in viruses are likely to be a condition for more effective evasion of the immune system and resulting in severe clinical consequences. The DENV‑1 NS5 gene was sequenced to establish whether during an epidemic burst there were genetic variations of the virus and whether any variant was associated (through a case‑control design) with severe clinical behavior. A total of 31 patients positive for DENV‑1 were enrolled. Among the nucleotide differences between the sequences, only two generated amino acid changes. The variants 124Met/166Ser (amino acid positions according to the report GenBank AJL35015.1), were associated with a severe clinical course of the disease. Via in silico tests, it was identified that the variations generate changes in the protein probably affecting the function of type‑1 interferon, either at the level of its receptor or by interfering with the Janus kinase‑signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a fatal pig pestivirus and causes serious financial losses to the pig industry. CSFV NS4B protein is one of the most important viral replicase proteins. Rab5, a member of the small Rab GTPase family, is involved in infection and replication of numerous viruses including hepatitis C virus and dengue virus. Until now, the effects of Rab5 on the proliferation of CSFV are poorly defined. In the present study, we showed that Rab5 could enhance CSFV proliferation by utilizing lentivirus-mediated constitutive overexpression and eukaryotic plasmid transient overexpression approaches. On the other hand, lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA knockdown of Rab5 dramatically inhibited virus production. Co-immunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase pulldown and laser confocal microscopy assays further confirmed the interaction between Rab5 and CSFV NS4B protein. In addition, intracellular distribution of NS4B-Red presented many granular fluorescent signals (GFS) in CSFV infected PK-15 cells. Inhibition of basal Rab5 function with Rab5 dominant negative mutant Rab5S34N resulted in disruption of the GFS. These results indicate that Rab5 plays a critical role in facilitating the formation of the NS4B related complexes. Furthermore, it was observed that NS4B co-localized with viral NS3 and NS5A proteins in the cytoplasm, suggesting that NS3 and NS5A might be components of the NS4B related complex. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Rab5 positively modulates CSFV propagation and interacts with NS4B protein to facilitate the NS4B related complexes formation.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a severe, febrile and highly contagious disease caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV) that has resulted in huge economic losses in the pig industry worldwide. CSFV Npro has been actively studied but remains incompletely understood. Few studies have investigated the cellular proteins that interact with Npro and their participation in viral replication. Here, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system was employed to screen Npro-interacting proteins from a porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) cDNA library, and a blast search of the NCBI database revealed that 15 cellular proteins interact with Npro. The interaction of Npro with ribosomal protein S20, also known as universal S10 (uS10), was further confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. Furthermore, uS10 overexpression inhibited CSFV replication, whereas the knockdown of uS10 promoted CSFV replication in PAMs. In addition, Npro or CSFV reduced uS10 expression in PAMs in a proteasome-dependent manner, indicating that Npro-uS10 interaction might contribute to persistent CSFV replication. Our previous research showed that CSFV decreases Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) expression. The results showed that uS10 knockdown reduced TLR3 expression, and that uS10 overexpression increased TLR3 expression. Notably, uS10 knockdown did not promote CSFV replication following TLR3 overexpression. Conversely, uS10 overexpression did not inhibit CSFV replication following TLR3 knockdown. These results revealed that uS10 inhibits CSFV replication by modulating TLR3 expression. This work addresses a novel aspect of the regulation of the innate antiviral immune response during CSFV infection.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV), is one of the most devastating epizootic diseases of pigs in many countries. Viruses are small intracellular parasites and thus rely on the cellular factors for replication. Fundamental aspects of CSFV-host interactions have been well described, such as factors contributing to viral attachment, modulation of genomic replication and translation, antagonism of innate immunity, and inhibition of cell apoptosis. However, those host factors that participate in the viral entry, assembly, and release largely remain to be elucidated. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the virus-host interactions involved in the life cycle of CSFV and analyze the potential mechanisms of viral entry, assembly, and release. We conclude with future perspectives and highlight areas that require further understanding.

Abstract
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a member of the genus Orbivirus within the family Reoviridae and causes a non-contagious, insect-transmitted disease in domestic and wild ruminants, mainly in sheep and occasionally in cattle and some species of deer. Virus infection can trigger the changes of the cellular microRNA (miRNA) expression profile, which play important post-transcriptional regulatory roles in gene expression and can greatly influence viral replication and pathogenesis. Here, we employed deep sequencing technology to determine which cellular miRNAs were differentially expressed in primary sheep testicular (ST) cells infected with BTV. A total of 25 known miRNAs and 240 novel miRNA candidates that were differentially expressed in BTV-infected and uninfected ST cells were identified, and 251 and 8428 predicted target genes were annotated, respectively. Nine differentially expressed miRNAs and their mRNA targets were validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Targets prediction and functional analysis of these regulated miRNAs revealed significant enrichment for several signaling pathways including MAPK, PI3K-Akt, endocytosis, Hippo, NF-kB, viral carcinogenesis, FoxO, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. This study provides a valuable basis for further investigation on the roles of miRNAs in BTV replication and pathogenesis.
