Abstract
Over the past 20 years, our knowledge of virus diversity and abundance in subsurface environments has expanded dramatically through application of quantitative metagenomic approaches. In most subsurface environments, viral diversity and abundance rival viral diversity and abundance observed in surface environments. Most of these viruses are uncharacterized in terms of their hosts and replication cycles. Analysis of accessory metabolic genes encoded by subsurface viruses indicates that they evolved to replicate within the unique features of their environments. The key question remains: What role do these viruses play in the ecology and evolution of the environments in which they replicate? Undoubtedly, as more virologists examine the role of viruses in subsurface environments, new insights will emerge.

Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 85:106558. [PMID: 32450532 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.106558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
To investigate the main transcriptional and biological changes of human host during low and highly pathogenic avian H7N9 influenza virus infection and to analyze the possible causes of escalated virulence and the systematic progression of H7N9 virus infection, we utilized whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-chip and RNA-seq) and other biomolecular methods to analyze and verify remarkable changes of host cells during these two subtypes of H7N9 influenza viruses infection. Whole transcriptome analysis showed the global profiles of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and identified 458 DEGs associated with major changes in biological processes of the host cells after infection with 2017 HPAI H7N9 virus versus 2013 LPAI H7N9 virus, mainly including drastically increased defense responses to viruses (e.g. negative regulation of viral gene replication), IFNs related pathways, immune response/native immune response, and inflammatory response. Genes of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathways were found changed remarkably and several highly correlated non-coding RNAs were identified. The results suggested that HPAI H7N9 virus induces stronger immune response and suppressing response than LPAI H7N9. Meanwhile, PD-1/PD-Ls signaling pathways work together in regulating host responses including antiviral defense, lethal inflammation caused by the virus and immune response, thus contribute to the high pathogenicity of 2017H7N9 virus that can be regulated by non-coding RNAs. The present study represents a comprehensive understanding and good reference of regulation of pathogenicity of H7N9 virus even other fatal viruses and correlated host immune responses.
