Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) infection induces inflammatory responses in chicken embryonic cardiac fibroblasts via PI3K/Akt and IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathways. Res Vet Sci 2024; 176:105349. [PMID: 38968647 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2024.105349] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) is the main pathogen of the acute infectious disease hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS). Previous studies have focused on the mechanisms of FAdV-4 caused liver injury, while studies revealing potential mechanisms of inflammatory injury in FAdV-4-infected chicken cardiac cells remain scare. Here we found that FAdV-4 successfully infected chicken embryonic cardiac fibroblasts (CECF) cells in vitro and significantly upregulated production of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α, suggesting induction of a strong inflammatory response. Mechanistically, FAdV-4 infection increased expression of phosphorylated Akt in a time-dependent manner, while phosphorylation of Akt and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were greatly reduced in FAdV-4-infected CECF cells after treatment with LY294002, a potent inhibitor of PI3K, indicating that the inflammatory response induced by FAdV-4 infection is mediated by the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, FAdV-4 infection increased expression of phosphorylated IκBα, a recognized indicator of NF-κB activation, and treatment with the BAY11-7082, a selective IκBα phosphorylation and NF-κB inhibitor, significantly reduced IκBα phosphorylation and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α) production in FAdV-4-infected CECF cells, suggesting a critical role of IκBα/NF-κB signaling in FAdV-4-induced inflammatory responses in CECF cells. Taken together, our results suggest that FAdV-4 infection induces inflammatory responses through activation of PI3K/Akt and IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathways in CECF cells. These results reveal potential mechanisms of inflammatory damage in chicken cardiac cells caused by FAdV-4 infection, which sheds new insight into clarification of the pathogenic mechanism of FAdV-4 infection and development of new strategies for HHS prevention and control.

Abstract
Starting in 2015, the widespread prevalence of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS) has led to considerable financial losses within China's poultry farming industry. In this study, pathogenicity assessments, whole-genome sequencing, and analyses were conducted on 10 new isolates of the novel genotype FAdV-4 during a HHS outbreak in Guangxi Province, China, from 2019 to 2020. The results indicated that strains GX2019-010 to GX2019-013 and GX2019-015 to GX2019-018 were highly virulent, while strain GX2020-019 exhibited moderate virulence. Strain GX2019-014 was characterized as a wild-type strain with low virulence, displaying no pathogenic effects when 0.5 mL containing 106 TCID50 virus was inoculated into the muscle of specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens at 4 weeks of age, while 107 TCID50 and 108 TCID50 resulted in mortality rates of 80 and 100%, respectively. The whole genomes of strains GX2019-010 to GX2019-013, GX2019-015 to GX2019-018, and GX2020-019 showed high homology with other Chinese newly emerging highly pathogenic FAdV-4 strains, whereas GX2019-014 was closer to nonmutant strains and shared the same residues with known nonpathogenic strains (B1-7, KR5, and ON1) at positions 219AA and 380AA of the Fiber-2 protein. Our work enriches the research on prevalent strains of FAdV-4 in China, expands the knowledge on the virulence diversity of the novel genotype FAdV-4, and provides valuable reference material for further investigations into the key virulence-associated genetic loci of FAdV-4.

Abstract
Inactivated and live attenuated vaccines are the mainstays of preventing viral poultry diseases. However, the development of recombinant DNA technology in recent years has enabled the generation of recombinant virus vector vaccines, which have the advantages of preventing multiple diseases simultaneously and simplifying the vaccination schedule. More importantly, some can induce a protective immune response in the presence of maternal antibodies and offer long-term immune protection. These advantages compensate for the shortcomings of traditional vaccines. This review describes the construction and characterization of primarily poultry vaccine vectors, including fowl poxvirus (FPV), fowl adenovirus (FAdV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), Marek's disease virus (MDV), and herpesvirus of turkey (HVT). In addition, the pathogens targeted and the immunoprotective effect of different poultry recombinant virus vector vaccines are also presented. Finally, this review discusses the challenges in developing vector vaccines and proposes strategies for improving immune efficacy.

Abstract
Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV) is highly pathogenic and lethal to chickens, especially broilers, which has emerged as one of the most important economic losses for the poultry industry in the past few years. Although inactivated vaccines have been widely used to control FAdV diseases, with the passage of time and the advancement of technology, live attenuated vaccines and subunit vaccines have also been developed, which are more attractive and effective vaccine candidates. This is an overview of avian adenoviruses, especially FAdV, which is related to the structure, pathogenicity of adenoviruses in birds, development and strategies used to make and use vaccines using different methods. As well as during this study it was determined that various vaccines against the new FAdV-4 genotype have been developed and many advances have been made in control disease However, many studies conducted in this field need extensive investigation.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Epidemiological data reveal that FAdV-4 and FAdV-8a are the dominant serotypes of FAdVs in the poultry industry in China. Although three commercial inactivated vaccines against FAdV-4 have been licensed in China, the bivalent vaccine against both FAdV-4 and FAdV-8a is not available. Here, we used CRISPR-Cas9 and Cre-LoxP system to generate a recombinant virus FAdV4-F/8a-rF2 expressing the Fiber of FAdV-8a. Notably, FAdV4-F/8a-rF2 was highly attenuated and could provide efficient protection against both FAdV-4 and FAdV-8a in the chicken infection model, highlighting the applaudable application of FAdV4-F/8a-rF2 as a novel live-attenuated bivalent vaccine against the diseases caused by the infection of FAdV-4 and FAdV-8a.

Abstract
Fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4) is a major avian virus that induces fatal diseases in chicken such as, hydropericardium and hepatitis. The viral structure consists of hexon, penton, fiber-1, and fiber-2 which are associated with immunopathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the genetic modification of a FAdV-4 strain after continuous passages in a cell line and evaluated the pathogenicity associated with mutations. We used the FadV-4 KNU14061 strain, which was isolated from layers in 2014. The virus went through 80 passages in the Leghorn male hepatoma (LMH) cell line. The full genetic sequence was identified, and we found a frameshift in the fiber-2 amino acid sequence after the initial thirty passages. To examine whether the frameshift in the fiber-2 gene affects the pathogenicity in chicken, we inoculated LMH80 (80 times passaged) and LMH10 (10 times passaged) into 3-day-old chickens and examined the pathogenesis. LMH10 infection via intramuscular route induced fatal pathology, but LMH80 did not. Furthermore, LHM80 pre-treatment protected hosts from the LMH10 challenge. Thus, the genetic modification isolated by serial passage lowered pathogenicity and the resulting virus acted as an attenuated vaccine that can be a FAdV-4 vaccine strain candidate.

Abstract
The GX2020-019 strain of fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) was isolated from the liver of chickens with hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome in Guangxi Province, China, and was purified by plaque assay three times. Pathogenicity studies showed that GX2020-019 can cause typical FAdV-4 pathology, such as hydropericardium syndrome and liver yellowing and swelling. Four-week-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens inoculated with the virus at doses of 103 median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50), 104 TCID50, 105 TCID50, 106 TCID50, and 107 TCID50 had mortality rates of 0, 20, 60, 100, and 100%, respectively, which were lower than those of chickens inoculated with other highly pathogenic Chinese isolates, indicating that GX2020-019 is a moderately virulent strain. Persistent shedding occurred through the oral and cloacal routes for up to 35 days postinfection. The viral infection caused severe pathological damage to the liver, kidney, lung, bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen. The damage to the liver and immune organs could not be fully restored 21 days after infection, which continued to affect the immune function of chickens. Whole genome analysis indicated that the strain belonged to the FAdV-C group, serotype 4, and had 99.7-100% homology with recent FAdV-4 strains isolated from China. However, the amino acid sequences encoded by ORF30 and ORF49 are identical to the sequences found in nonpathogenic strains, and none of the 32 amino acid mutation sites that appeared in other Chinese isolates were found. Our research expands understanding of the pathogenicity of FAdV-4 and provides a reference for further studies.

Abstract
Recently, the infection of serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) in chicken flocks has become endemic in China, which greatly threatens the sustainable development of poultry industry. The development of recombinant FAdV-4 expressing foreign genes is an efficient strategy for controlling both FAdV-4 and other important poultry pathogens. Previous reverse genetic technique for generating the recombinant fowl adenovirus is generally inefficient. In this study, a recombinant FAdV-4 expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP), FA4-EGFP, was used as a template virus and directly edited fiber-2 gene to develop an efficient double-fluorescence approach to generate recombinant FAdV-4 through CRISPR/Cas9 and Cre-Loxp system. Moreover, using this strategy, a recombinant virus FAdV4-HA(H9) stably expressing the HA gene of H9N2 influenza virus was generated. Chicken infection study revealed that the recombinant virus FAdV4-HA(H9) was attenuated, and could induce haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer against H9N2 influenza virus at early time points and inhibit the viral replication in oropharynx. All these demonstrate that the novel strategy for constructing recombinant FAdV-4 expressing foreign genes developed here paves the way for rapidly developing attenuated FAdV-4-based recombinant vaccines for fighting the diseases caused by both FAdV-4 and other pathogens.

Abstract
Recently, the highly pathogenic serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) and duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3) were outbroken and widespread, causing substantial economic losses to the duck industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to generate a recombinant genetic engineering vaccine candidate against both FAdV-4 and DAdV-3. In this study, a novel recombinant FAdV-4 expressing the Fiber-2 protein of DAdV-3, designated as rFAdV-4-Fiber-2/DAdV-3, was generated based on CRISPR/Cas9 and Cre-LoxP systems. Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and western blot (WB) showed that the Fiber-2 protein of DAdV-3 in rFAdV-4-Fiber-2/DAdV-3 was expressed successfully. Moreover, the growth curve revealed that rFAdV-4-Fiber-2/DAdV-3 replicated efficiently in LMH cells and even showed a stronger replication ability compared to the wild type FAdV-4. The generation of the recombinant rFAdV-4-Fiber-2/DAdV-3 provides a potential vaccine candidate against both FAdV-4 and DAdV-3.

Abstract
Infection with fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) can result in a number of syndromes in the production of chicken, including inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS), and others, causing enormous economic losses around the globe. FAdVs are divided into 12 serotypes and five species (A-E; 1-8a and 8b-11). Most avian species are prone to infection due to the widespread distribution of FAdV strains. The genus aviadenovirus, which is a member of the adenoviridae family, is responsible for both IBH and HHS. The most popular types of transmission are mechanical, vertical, and horizontal. Hepatitis with basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies distinguishes IBH, but the buildup of translucent or straw-colored fluid in the pericardial sac distinguishes HHS. IBH and HHS require a confirmatory diagnosis because their clinical symptoms and postmortem abnormalities are not unique to those conditions. Under a microscope, the presence of particular lesions and inclusion bodies may provide clues. Traditional virus isolation in avian tissue culture is more delicate than in avian embryonated eggs. Additionally, aviadenovirus may now be quickly and precisely detected using molecular diagnostic tools. Preventive techniques should rely on efficient biosecurity controls and immunize breeders prior to production in order to protect progeny. This current review gives a general overview of the current local and global scenario of IBH, and HHS brought on by FAdVs and covers both their issues and preventative vaccination methods.

Abstract
Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), hydropericardium syndrome, and gizzard erosion associated with fowl adenovirus (FAdV) infection have caused notable economic losses worldwide. In 2020, severe IBH was observed in a layer chicken farm in Hebei Province, China. Liver samples were collected from layer chickens with severe IBH and virus isolation was performed in LMH cells. DNA sequence and bioinformatics analyses were conducted to determine the phylogenetic relationship and the pathogenicity assay was conducted in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. HeB20 strain was isolated and identified as FAdV-8b, and the complete genome was successfully sequenced (GenBank No. OK188966). Although widespread recombination in clinical strains has been reported within FAdVs, HeB20 showed some novel characteristics, and did not show any recombination, highlighting that recombinant and non-recombinant FAdV-8b coexist in the clinic poultry industry. Finally, pathogenicity animal model of HeB20 was developed and showed severe IBH and 10% mortality. Collectively, a new FAdV-8b strain (HeB20) was isolated and responsible for the severe IBH in layer chickens. Complete genome of HeB20 was sequenced and valuable for future epidemiological investigations. HeB20 was capable of inducing severe IBH and 10% mortality in SPF chickens; this animal model provides a powerful tool for the future vaccine development.

Oral immunization of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing fiber-2 of fowl adenovirus serotype 4 induces protective immunity against homologous infection. Vet Microbiol 2022; 271:109490.

Abstract
Hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS) caused by fowl adenovirus (FAdV) serotype 4 strains is a highly contagious disease that causes significant economic loss to the global poultry industry. However, subunit vaccine against FAdV-4 infection is not yet commercially available to date. This study aims to explore the potential for oral immunization of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing Fiber-2 of FAdV-4 as a subunit vaccine. Here, we constructed recombinant S. cerevisiae (ST1814G/Fiber-2) expressing recombinant Fiber-2 (rFiber-2), which was displayed on the cell surface. To evaluate the immune response and protective effect of live recombinant S. cerevisiae, chickens were orally immunized with the constructed live ST1814G/Fiber-2, three times at 5-day intervals, and then challenged with FAdV-4. The results showed that oral administration of live ST1814G/Fiber-2 could stimulate the production of humoral immunity, enhance the body's antiviral activity and immune regulation ability, improve the composition of gut microbiota, provide protection against FAdV-4 challenge, reduce viral load in the liver, and alleviate the pathological damage of heart, liver, and spleen for chicken. In addition, we found the synergistic effect in combining the ST1814G/Fiber-2 yeast and inactivated vaccine to trigger stronger humoral immunity and mucosal immunity. Our results suggest that oral live ST1814G/Fiber-2 is a potentially safer auxiliary preparation strategy in controlling FAdV-4 infection.

Abstract
Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) was first reported in Angara Goth, Pakistan, in 1987. For this reason, it is also known as “Angara disease.” It was later reported in China, Japan, South Korea, India, the United States, Canada, and other countries and regions, causing huge economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. Notably, since June 2015, a natural outbreak of severe hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (HHS), associated with a hypervirulent novel genotype FAdV-4 infection, has emerged in most provinces of China. The novel virus FAdV-4 spread rapidly and induced a 30-100% mortality rate, causing huge economic losses and threatening the green and healthy poultry breeding industry. Vaccines against FAdV-4, especially the emerging novel genotype, play a critical role and will be the most efficient tool for preventing and controlling HHS. Various types of FAdV-4 vaccines have been developed and evaluated, such as inactivated, live-attenuated, subunit, and combined vaccines. They have made great contributions to the control of HHS, but the details of cross-protection within FAdVs and the immunogenicity of different vaccines require further investigation. This review highlights the recent advances in developing the FAdV-4 vaccine and promising new vaccines for future research.

Abstract
Currently, the outbreak of serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) has spread worldwide and caused tremendous economic loss to the poultry industry. Although inactivated vaccines have been licensed against FAdV-4 in China, a rapid and efficient serological method for measuring the titer of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) specific for FAdV-4 post-infection or vaccination is rarely reported. Classical virus neutralization test (VNT) is superior in sensitivity and specificity for detecting NAbs but is either time-consuming or laborious. In this study, a recombinant virus FA4-EGFP expressing EGFP-fiber-2 fusion protein, rather than wild type (WT) FAdV-4 was used to develop a novel VNT for detecting FAdV-4 NAbs. Specificity analysis showed that the approach only reacted with the sera against FAdV-4, not with the sera against other avian pathogens tested. The novel VNT was effective in the detection of NAbs against FAdV-4 in sera from both experimentally infected and clinically vaccinated chickens, and had good linear correlation with the classical VNT. Moreover, the novel VNT not only significantly simplifies the procedure for detection of NAbs, but also shortens the timeline to 24 h in comparison with the classical VNT with 3-4 d. All these data demonstrate that the FA4-EGFP based VNT developed here provides an efficient diagnostic method for monitoring the immunological state of the vaccination or diagnosing the clinical infection of FAdV-4 in a quick and funding-saving manner.

Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0143621. [PMID: 35107364 PMCID: PMC8809343 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01436-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) caused by the highly pathogenic fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) has resulted in huge economic losses to the poultry industry globally. The fiber-2 gene, as a major virulence determiner, is also an important vaccine target against FAdV-4. In this study, we used a CRISPR/Cas9-based homology-dependent recombinant technique to replace the fiber-2 gene with egfp and generate a novel recombinant virus, designated FAdV4-EGFP-rF2. Although FAdV4-EGFP-rF2 showed low replication ability compared to the wild-type FAdV-4 in LMH cells, FAdV4-EGFP-rF2 could effectively replicate in LMH-F2 cells with the expression of Fiber-2. Moreover, FAdV4-EGFP-rF2 was not only highly attenuated in chickens, but also could provide efficient protection against a lethal challenge of FAdV-4. Moreover, FAdV4-EGFP-rF2 without fiber-2 could induce neutralizing antibodies at the same level as FA4-EGFP with fiber-2. These results clearly demonstrate that although fiber-2 affects the viral replication and pathogenesis of FAdV-4, it is not necessary for virus replication and induction of neutralizing antibodies; these findings provide novel insights into the roles of fiber-2 and highlight fiber-2 as an insertion site for generating live-attenuated FAdV-4 vaccines against FAdV-4 and other pathogens. IMPORTANCE Among all serotypes of fowl adenovirus, serotypes FAdV-1, FAdV-4, and FAdV-10 are unique members with two fiber genes (fiber-1 and fiber-2). Recent studies reveal that Fiber-1, not Fiber-2, directly triggers viral infection of FAdV-4, whereas Fiber-2, but not Fiber-1, has been identified as the major virulence determiner and an efficient protective immunogen for subunit vaccines. Here, we replaced fiber-2 with egfp to generate a novel recombinant virus, designated FAdV4-EGFP-rF2. In vitro and in vivo studies on FAdV4-EGFP-rF2 revealed that fiber-2 was not necessary for either virus replication or efficient protection for FAdV-4; these results not only provide a novel live-attenuated vaccine candidate against HHS, but also give new ideas for generating a FAdV-4 based vaccine vector against other pathogens.

A Novel Recombinant FAdV-4 Virus with Fiber of FAdV-8b Provides Efficient Protection against Both FAdV-4 and FAdV-8b. Viruses 2022; 14:v14020376. [PMID: 35215968 PMCID: PMC8878265 DOI: 10.3390/v14020376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Since 2015, the outbreaks of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS) and inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) caused by the highly pathogenic serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) and serotype 8 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-8), respectively, have caused huge economic losses to the poultry industry. Although several vaccines have been developed to control HHS or IBH, a recombinant genetic engineering vaccine against both FAdV-4 and FAdV-8 has not been reported. In this study, recombinant FAdV-4 expressing the fiber of FAdV-8b, designated as FA4-F8b, expressing fiber of FAdV-8b was generated by the CRISPR-Cas9 and homologous recombinant techniques. Infection studies in vitro and in vivo revealed that the FA4-F8b replicated efficiently in LMH cells and was also highly pathogenic to 2-week-old SPF chickens. Moreover, the inoculation of inactivated the FA4-F8b in chickens could not only induce highly neutralizing antibodies, but also provide efficient protection against both FAdV-4 and FAdV-8b. All these demonstrate that the inactivated recombinant FA4-F8b generated here can act as a vaccine candidate to control HHS and IBH, and FAdV-4 can be an efficient vaccine vector to deliver foreign antigens.

Abstract
Severe hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) associated with a novel viral genotype, fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4), has emerged and widely spread in China since 2015, causing severe economic losses to the poultry industry. We previously reported that the hexon gene is responsible for pathogenicity and obtained a non-pathogenic hexon-replacement rHN20 strain; however, the lack of information about the non-essential regions for virus replication limits the development of a FAdV-4 vector. This study first established an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-indicator virus based on the FAdV-4 reverse genetic technique, effective for batch operations in the virus genome. Based on this, 10 open reading frames (ORFs) at the left end and 13 ORFs at the right end of the novel FAdV-4 genome were deleted separately and identified as non-essential genes for viral replication, providing preliminary insertion sites for foreign genes. To further improve its feasibility as a vaccine vector, seven combinations of ORFs were successfully replaced with EGFP without affecting the immunogenicity of the vector backbone. Finally, a recombinant rHN20-vvIBDV-VP2 strain, expressing the VP2 protein of very virulent infectious bursa disease virus (vvIBDV), was rescued and showed complete protection against FAdV-4 and vvIBDV. Thus, the novel FAdV-4 vector could provide sufficient protection for HHS and efficient exogenous gene delivery. Overall, our findings systemically identified 23 non-essential ORFs for FAdV-4 replication and seven foreign gene insertion regions, providing valuable information for an in-depth understanding of the novel FAdV-4 pathogenesis and development of multivalent vaccines.

A Novel Fiber-1-Edited and Highly Attenuated Recombinant Serotype 4 Fowl Adenovirus Confers Efficient Protection Against Lethal Challenge. Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:759418. [PMID: 34881318 PMCID: PMC8646089 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.759418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, a fatal disease of hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) caused by serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) has spread worldwide and resulted in tremendous economic losses to the poultry industry. Various vaccines against FAdV-4 were developed to control the disease; however, few live-attenuated vaccines were available. In this study, we targeted the N-terminal of fiber-1 and rescued a recombinant virus FAdV4-RFP_F1 expressing the fusion protein of RFP and Fiber-1 based on the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. In vitro studies showed that FAdV4-RFP_F1 replicated slower than the wild type FAdV-4, but the peak viral titer of FAdV4-RFP_F1 could still reach 107.0 TCID50/ml with high stability in LMH cells. Animal studies found that FAdV4-RFP_F1 not only was highly attenuated to the 2-week-old SPF chickens, but could also provide efficient protection against lethal challenge of FAdV-4. All these demonstrate that the recombinant virus FAdV4-RFP_F1 could be as an efficient live-attenuated vaccine candidate for FAdV-4, and the N-terminal of fiber-1 could be as a potential insertion site for expressing foreign genes to develop FAdV-4-based vaccine.

Abstract
Hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) in birds is mainly caused by virulent fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4). A novel genotype, hypervirulent FAdV-4, emerged in 2015 with a high mortality rate ranging from 30 % to 100 % in chickens. Vaccination is an economically feasible method to control HHS. Although there have been various reports of inactivated vaccines from virulent wild-type FAdV-4 against HHS, biosafety threats of inactivated vaccines from potential pathogenic components have been presented to the poultry industry, and safer vaccines are urgently needed. A non-pathogenic recombinant FAdV-4 strain, designated as rHN20, was generated based on the hypervirulent strain in our previous study. Here, we developed a novel inactivated oil-adjuvanted vaccine derived from rHN20 strain and evaluated its immunogenicity in specific-pathogen-free chickens. Chickens subcutaneously or intramuscularly immunized with the inactivated vaccine produced high titers of neutralizing antibodies and were protected from a lethal dose of virulent wild-type FAdV-4 challenge. Collectively, an inactivated vaccine was developed, which was capable of providing full protection for chickens against HHS, and significantly reduced the potential biosafety threats.

Abstract
In recent years, hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS), caused by novel fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4), has caused serious economic losses to the poultry industry. Vaccines are important for preventing and controlling HHS. Current FAdV-4 vaccine research and development are mainly focuses on inactivated vaccines and relatively fewer live vaccines. We previously demonstrated that the hexon gene is the key gene responsible for the high pathogenicity of FAdV-4 and constructed a non-pathogenic chimeric virus rHN20 strain based on the emerging FAdV-4. In this study, the immunogenicity of artificially rescued rHN20 was evaluated in chickens using different routes and doses as a live vaccine. The live rHN20 vaccine induced high titers of neutralizing antibodies against FAdV-4 and fully protected the immunized chickens against a lethal dose of FAdV-4. Furthermore, immunized chickens showed no clinical symptoms or histopathological changes in the FAdV-4-targeted liver, and the viral load in the tissues of immunized chickens was significantly lower than that of chickens in the challenge control group. Collectively, the live rHN20 vaccine effectively protected our sample against FAdV-4 infection and can be considered a live vaccine candidate for preventing HHS in the poultry industry.

Abstract
Hypervirulent fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4)-induced hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) with high mortality causes huge economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. However, commercially available vaccines against FAdV-4 infection remain scarce. Here, we prepared a subunit vaccine candidate derived from the bacterially expressed recombinant Fiber2 protein (termed as rFiber2 subunit vaccine) of FAdV-4 GZ-QL strain (a hypervirulent strain isolated in Guizhou province) and a recombinant plasmid pVAX1-Fiber2 as DNA vaccine candidate (termed as Fiber2 DNA vaccine). The immune effects of different dosages (50, 100, and 150 μg) of these were evaluated through immunization and challenge studies in chickens. Three injections of the rFiber2 subunit vaccine or the Fiber2 DNA vaccine induced robust humoral and cellular immune responses in chickens, which was assessed based on the secretion of high-level neutralizing antibodies, Th1- (IL-2, IFN-γ) and Th2-type cytokines (IL-4, IL-6). Importantly, the efficacy of the rFiber2 subunit vaccine was significantly higher (80 %-100 %) compared with the Fiber2 DNA vaccine (50 %-60 %) and a commercial inactivated vaccine (80 %). Collectively, these results suggest that the rFiber2 subunit and Fiber2 DNA vaccine candidate induced remarkable humoral and cellular immune responses, while the rFiber2 subunit vaccine candidate possesses better potential in the fight against FAdV-4 infection, laying foundations for the effective control of HHS in chickens.

Abstract
The outbreaks of hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) caused by serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) have spread from broilers to laying hens, breeders, geese and Cherry Valley duck, resulting in high economic losses to the poultry industry globally. In this study, a rapid colloidal gold test strip for detection of FAdV-4 was developed by using two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the Fiber-2 of FAdV-4. Specificity analysis revealed that the test strip only reacted with FAdV-4, but not with other pathogens including different serotypes of fowl adenovirus and other avian pathogens tested. The limit of the detection (LOD) of the strip could reach as low as 0.1 μg/0.1 mL of GST-Fiber-2 protein and 1 × 105 TCID50/0.1 mL of FAdV-4, respectively. Moreover, the test strip could be efficiently applied in detecting tissue samples from diseased chickens with HPS. Comparison analysis further revealed that the test strip showed good compatibility with PCR assay for detection of virus isolates and clinical samples. In conclusion, our test strip provides an efficient on-site diagnostic method in a quick and convenient manner for detection of FAdV-4, especially in resource-limited areas.
