Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133737. [PMID: 38986992 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133737] [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: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) mediate the innate immune responses and play a crucial role in host defense against pathogen infections. Apextrin C-terminal (ApeC)-containing proteins (ACPs), a newly discovered class of PRRs specific to invertebrates, recognize pathogens through their ApeC domain as intracellular or extracellular effectors. However, the other immunological functions of ACPs remain unclear. In this study, a membrane-localized ACP receptor was identified in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (denoted as AjACP1). The ApeC domain of AjACP1, which was located outside of its cell membrane, exhibited the capability to recognize and aggregate Vibrio splendidus. AjACP1 was upregulated upon V. splendidus infection, internalizing into the cytoplasm of coelomocytes. AjACP1 overexpression enhanced the phagocytic activity of coelomocytes against V. splendidus, while knockdown of AjACP1 by RNA interfere inhibited coelomocyte endocytosis. Inhibitor experiments indicated that AjACP1 regulated coelomocyte phagocytosis through the actin-dependent endocytic signaling pathway. Further investigation revealed that AjACP1 interacted with the subunit of the actin-related protein 2/3 complex ARPC2, promoting F-actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement and thereby affecting the coelomocyte phagocytosis of V. splendidus via the actin-dependent endocytic signaling pathway. As a novel membrane PRR, AjACP1 mediates the recognition and phagocytic activity of coelomocytes against V. splendidus through the AjACP1-ARPC2-F-actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement pathway.

Abstract
Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) is an important pathogen of largemouth bass. Despite extensive research, the functional receptors of MSRV remained unknown. This study identified the host protein, laminin receptor (LamR), as a cellular receptor facilitating MSRV entry into host cells. Our results demonstrated that LamR directly interacts with MSRV G protein, playing a pivotal role in the attachment and internalization processes of MSRV. Knockdown of LamR with siRNA, blocking cells with LamR antibody, or incubating MSRV virions with soluble LamR protein significantly reduced MSRV entry. Notably, we found that LamR mediated MSRV entry via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Additionally, our findings revealed that MSRV G and LamR were internalized into cells and co-localized in the early and late endosomes. These findings highlight the significance of LamR as a cellular receptor facilitating MSRV binding and entry into target cells through interaction with the MSRV G protein. IMPORTANCE Despite the serious epidemic caused by Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) in largemouth bass, the precise mechanism by which it invades host cells remains unclear. Here, we determined that laminin receptor (LamR) is a novel target of MSRV, that interacts with its G protein and is involved in viral attachment and internalization, transporting with MSRV together in early and late endosomes. This is the first report demonstrating that LamR is a cellular receptor in the MSRV life cycle, thus contributing new insights into host-pathogen interactions.

Abstract
The origin of T cells in the teleost's brain is unclear. While viewing the central nervous system (CNS) as immune privileged has been widely accepted, previous studies suggest that T cells residing in the thymus but not in the spleen of the teleost play an essential role in communicating with the peripheral organs. Here, we identified nine T cell subpopulations in the thymus and spleen of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioices) through single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis. After viral CNS infection with red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), the number of slc43a2+ T cells synchronously increased in the spleen and brain. During the infection tests in asplenic zebrafish (tlx1▲ zebrafish model), no increase in the number of slc43a2+ T cells was observed in the brain. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis indicated that slc43a2+ T cells mature and functionally differentiate within the spleen and then migrate into the brain to trigger an immune response. This study suggests a novel route for T cell migration from the spleen to the brain during viral infection in fish.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 150:105077.

Abstract
Members of Aquareovirus genus, including grass carp reovirus (GCRV), contribute to a serious threat to aquaculture animals accompanied by stress response. Our previous reports revealed that GCRV nonstructural protein NS31 serves as a potent contributor for virus selectively up-regulating specific heat shock protein 70-kd gene(HSP70),however,the mechanism by which inducing HSP70 gene expression is unknown. In this study, we further found that either the N- or C-terminal domain of GCRV NS31 is responsible for enhancing fish HSP70 promoter transcription, and recombinant NS31 protein purified from baculovirus expression system seems to not directly bind HSP70 basic promoter in vitro by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. However, the transcriptional co-activator p300 was identified as a potential interacting partner for NS31 by pull-down assay. Moreover, knock-down of p300 or addition of p300 inhibitor resulted in obviously reduced HSP70 expression by NS31 or GCRV infection suggesting that the well-characterized heat-shock-responsive HSF1/p300 transcriptional complex might involve in the induction of HSP70. These results collectively reveal this aquareovirus generates cell stress response through its nonstructural protein NS31 recruiting transcriptional co-activator p300.

Abstract
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is an important swine enteric coronavirus causing viral diarrhea in pigs of all ages. Currently, the development of antiviral agents targeting host proteins to combat viral infection has received great attention. The heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a critical host factor and has important regulatory effects on the infection of various viruses. However, its roles in porcine coronavirus infection remain unclear. In this study, the effect of HSP90 on TGEV infection was evaluated. In addition, the influence of its inhibitor VER-82576 on proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, CXCL10, and CXCL11) production induced by TGEV infection was further analyzed. The results showed that the knockdown of HSP90AB1 and HSP90 inhibitor VER-82576 treatment resulted in a reduction in TGEV M gene mRNA levels, the N protein level, and virus titers in a dose-dependent manner, while the knockdown of HSP90AA1 and KW-2478 treatment had no significant effect on TGEV infection. A time-of-addition assay indicated that the inhibitory effect of VER-82576 on TGEV infection mainly occurred at the early stage of viral replication. Moreover, the TGEV-induced upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, CXCL10, and CXCL11) expression was significantly inhibited by VER-82576. In summary, these findings indicated that HSP90AB1 is a host factor enhancing TGEV infection, and the HSP90 inhibitor VER-82576 could reduce TGEV infection and proinflammatory cytokine production, providing a new perspective for TGEV antiviral drug target design.

Abstract
Methylation at the N6 position of adenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal mRNA modification in eukaryotes, tightly associating with regulation of viral life circles and immune responses. Here, a methyltransferase-like 3 homolog gene from sea perch (Lateolabrax japonicus), designated LjMETTL3, was cloned and characterized, and its negative role in fish virus pathogenesis was uncovered. The cDNA of LjMETTL3 encoded a 601-amino acid protein with a MT-A70 domain, which shared the closest genetic relationship with Echeneis naucrates METTL3. Spatial expression analysis revealed that LjMETTL3 was more abundant in the immune tissues of sea perch post red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) or viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection. LjMETTL3 expression was significantly upregulated at 12 and 24 h post RGNNV and VHSV infection in vitro. In addition, ectopic expression of LjMETTL3 inhibited RGNNV and VHSV infection in LJB cells at 12 and 24 h post infection, whereas knockdown of LjMETTL3 led to opposite effects. Furthermore, we found that LjMETTL3 may participate in boosting the type I interferon responses by interacting with TANK-binding kinase. Taken together, these results disclosed the antiviral role of fish METTL3 against RGNNV and VHSV and provided evidence for understanding the potential mechanisms of fish METTL3 in antiviral innate immunity.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) in the family Nodaviridae is one of the simplest spherical RNA viruses and is pathogenic to many fish species. We investigated the effect of purified NNV on striped snakehead cells (SSN-1) in terms of adsorption ratio and infection efficiency using the 96-well titration system. The proportion of cytopathic effect (CPE)-positive wells among total number of wells inoculated with the virus (CPE appearance ratio) reduced by 17% each time the NNV infectivity dose was halved (y = 55.7x + 50.6). Thus, subtle differences in NNV infectivity could be accurately detected using this system. Experiments performed to observe alteration of CPE appearance ratio with changing viral doses and adsorption times showed that NNV particles introduced into microplate wells as suspensions in ≤ 100 µl inoculum were adsorbed almost completely onto cells seeded on the wells within 4 days of incubation. Density profile analysis of NNV coat proteins revealed that the NNV suspension at 1 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) contained 60 particles. Infection efficiency/NNV peaked at 20 particles (1.20%/particle) and then declined gradually with increasing NNV doses. Therefore, in vitro infection efficiency of NNV may alter depending on the quantity of viral particles adsorbed onto cells.

J Virol 2023; 97:e0053323. [PMID: 37255438 PMCID: PMC10308946 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00533-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Ubiquitination, as one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications of proteins, enables a tight control of host immune responses. Many viruses hijack the host ubiquitin system to regulate host antiviral responses for their survival. Here, we found that the fish pathogen nervous necrosis virus (NNV) recruited Lateolabrax japonicus E3 ubiquitin ligase ring finger protein 34 (LjRNF34) to inhibit the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR)-mediated interferon (IFN) response via ubiquitinating Lateolabrax japonicus TANK-binding kinase 1 (LjTBK1) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (LjIRF3). Ectopic expression of LjRNF34 greatly enhanced NNV replication and prevented IFN production, while deficiency of LjRNF34 led to the opposite effect. Furthermore, LjRNF34 targeted LjTBK1 and LjIRF3 via its RING domain. Of note, the interactions between LjRNF34 and LjTBK1 or LjIRF3 were conserved in different cellular models derived from fish. Mechanically, LjRNF34 promoted K27- and K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of LjTBK1 and LjIRF3, which in turn diminished LjTBK1-induced translocation of LjIRF3 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Ultimately, NNV capsid protein (CP) was found to bind with LjRNF34, CP induced LjTBK1 and LjIRF3 degradation, and IFN suppression depended on LjRNF34. Our finding demonstrates a novel mechanism by which NNV CP evaded host innate immunity via LjRNF34 and provides a potential drug target for the control of NNV infection. IMPORTANCE Ubiquitination plays an essential role in the regulation of innate immune responses to pathogens. NNV, a type of RNA virus, is the causal agent of a highly destructive disease in a variety of marine and freshwater fish. A previous study reported NNV could hijack the ubiquitin system to manipulate the host's immune responses; however, how NNV utilizes ubiquitination to facilitate its own replication is not well understood. Here, we identified a novel distinct role of E3 ubiquitin ligase LjRNF34 as an IFN antagonist to promote NNV infection. NNV capsid protein utilized LjRNF34 to target LjTBK1 and LjIRF3 for K27- and K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation. Importantly, the interactions between LjRNF34 and CP, LjTBK1, or LjIRF3 are conserved in different cellular models derived from fish, suggesting it is a general immune evasion strategy exploited by NNV to target the IFN response via RNF34.

Mao M, Jiang J, Xu J, Liu Y, Wang H, Mao Y. Cells and Fugu Response to Capsid of BFNNV Genotype. Viruses 2023; 15:v15040988. [PMID: 37112968 PMCID: PMC10142826 DOI: 10.3390/v15040988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The nervous necrosis virus (NNV) of the BFNNV genotype is the causative agent of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER) in cold water fishes. Similar to the RGNNV genotype, BFNNV is also considered a highly destructive virus. In the present study, the RNA2 of the BFNNV genotype was modified and expressed in the EPC cell line. The subcellular localization results showed that the capsid and N-terminal (1-414) were located in the nucleus, while the C-terminal (415-1014) of the capsid was located in the cytoplasm. Meanwhile, cell mortality obviously increased after expression of the capsid in EPC. EPC cells were transfected with pEGFP-CP and sampled at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h for transcriptome sequencing. There are 254, 2997 and 229 up-regulated genes and 387, 1611, and 649 down-regulated genes post-transfection, respectively. The ubiquitin-activating enzyme and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme were up-regulated in the DEGs, indicating that cell death evoked by capsid transfection may be related to ubiquitination. The qPCR results showed that heat stock protein 70 (HSP70) is extremely up-regulated after expression of BFNNV capsid in EPC, and N-terminal is the key region to evoke the high expression. For further study, the immunoregulation of the capsid in fish pcDNA-3.1-CP was constructed and injected into the Takifugu rubripes muscle. pcDNA-3.1-CP can be detected in gills, muscle and head kidney, and lasted for more than 70 d post-injection. The transcripts of IgM and interferon inducible gene Mx were up-regulated after being immunized in different tissues, and immune factors, such as IFN-γ and C3, were also up-regulated in serum, while C4 was down-regulated one week after injection. It was suggested that pcDNA-3.1-CP can be a potential DNA vaccine in stimulating the immune system of T. rubripes; however, NNV challenge needs to be conducted in the following experiments.

[PMID: 36931480 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is strongly contagious and pathogenic to common carp and cyprinoid species. However, knowledge of how SVCV enters host cells is still inadequate. In this study, mass spectrometry (MS) was incorporated with tandem affinity purification (TAP) to identify host proteins that interact with SVCV glycoprotein, the main attachment protein of SVCV. Specifically, prohibitin (PHB) received the utmost attention from all the candidate proteins, and its interaction with the SVCV-G protein was confirmed by immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays. Treatment with PHB-specific inhibitors or knockdown of the expression of PHB by siRNAs resulted in a marked reduction in binding and entry of SVCV on host cells, while overexpression of PHB increased SVCV attachment and invasion. Furthermore, binding of SVCV to ZF4 and FHM cells was inhibited by pre-incubating the virus with recombinant PHB protein (rPHB) or blocking the cell surface PHB with its polyclonal antibodies. In addition, overexpression of PHB on SVCV-nonpermissive Grouper spleen cells (GSs) conferred susceptibility to SVCV infection. In vivo, treatment of rPHB could significantly inhibit SVCV propagation within zebrafish and benefit the survival rate of SVCV-infected zebrafish. These results demonstrate that PHB plays a crucial role in both the attachment and entry stages of SVCV infection.

Identification of B-Cell Epitopes on Capsid Protein Reveals Two Potential Neutralization Mechanisms in Red-Spotted Grouper Nervous Necrosis Virus. J Virol 2023; 97:e0174822.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a formidable pathogen in marine and freshwater fish, has inflicted enormous financial tolls on the aquaculture industry worldwide. Although capsid protein (CP) is the sole structural protein with pathogenicity and antigenicity, public information on immunodominant regions remains extremely scarce. Here, we employed neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for red-spotted grouper NNV (RGNNV) CNPgg2018 in combination with partially overlapping truncated proteins and peptides to identify two minimal B-cell epitope clusters on CP, 122GYVAGFL128 and 227SLYNDSL233. Site-directed mutational analysis confirmed residues Y123, G126, and L128 and residues L228, Y229, N230, D231, and L233 as the critical residues responsible for the direct interaction with ligand, respectively. According to homologous modeling and bioinformatic evaluation, 122GYVAGFL128 is harbored at the groove of the CP junction with strict conservation among all NNV isolates, while 227SLYNDSL233 is localized in proximity to the tip of a viral protrusion having relatively high evolutionary dynamics in different genotypes. Additionally, 227SLYNDSL233 was shown to be a receptor-binding site, since the corresponding polypeptide could moderately suppress RGNNV multiplication by impeding virion entry. In contrast, 122GYVAGFL128 seemed dedicated only to stabilizing viral native conformation and not to assisting initial virus attachment. Altogether, these findings contribute to a novel understanding of the antigenic distribution pattern of NNV and the molecular basis for neutralization, thus advancing the development of biomedical products, especially epitope-based vaccines, against NNV. IMPORTANCE NNV is a common etiological agent associated with neurological virosis in multiple aquatic organisms, causing significant hazards to the host. However, licensed drugs or vaccines to combat NNV infection are very limited to date. Toward the advancement of broad-spectrum prophylaxis and therapeutics against NNV, elucidating the diversity of immunodominant regions within it is undoubtedly essential. Here, we identified two independent B-cell epitopes on NNV CP, followed by the confirmation of critical amino acid residues participating in direct interaction. These two sites were distributed on the shell and protrusion domains of the virion, respectively, and mediated the neutralization exerted by MAbs via drastically distinct mechanisms. Our work promotes new insights into NNV antigenicity as well as neutralization and, more importantly, offers promising targets for the development of antiviral countermeasures.

Hsp90 Regulates GCRV-II Proliferation by Interacting with VP35 as Its Receptor and Chaperone. J Virol 2022; 96:e0117522.

Abstract
The frequent outbreak of grass carp hemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV), especially the mainly prevalent type II GCRV (GCRV-II), has seriously affected the grass carp culture in China. However, its pathogenic mechanism is still far from clear. In this study, the GCRV-II outer capsid protein VP35 was used as bait to capture interacting partners from Ctenopharyngon idellus kidney (CIK) cells, and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was selected and confirmed interacting with VP35 through the C-terminal domain of Hsp90. Knockdown of Hsp90 or inhibition of Hsp90 activity suppressed GCRV-II proliferation, demonstrating that Hsp90 is an essential factor for GCRV-II proliferation. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry showed that Hsp90 localized at both membrane and cytoplasm of CIK cells. The entry of GCRV-II into CIK cells was efficiently blocked by incubating the cells with Hsp90 antibody or by pretreating the virus with recombinant Hsp90 protein. Whereas overexpression of Hsp90 in CIK cells, grass carp ovary (GCO) cells, or 293T cells promoted GCRV-II entry, indicating that the membrane Hsp90 functions as a receptor of GCRV-II. Furthermore, Hsp90 interacted with clathrin and mediated GCRV-II entry into CIK cells through clathrin endocytosis pathway. In addition, we found that the cytoplasmic Hsp90 acted as a chaperone of VP35 because inhibition of Hsp90 activity enhanced VP35 polyubiquitination and degraded VP35 through the proteasome pathway. Collectively, our data suggest that Hsp90 functions both as a receptor for GCRV-II entry and a chaperone for the maturation of GCRV-II VP35, thus ensuring efficient proliferation of GCRV-II. IMPORTANCE Identification of viral receptors has always been the research hot spot in virus research field as receptor functions at the first stage of viral infection, which can be designed as efficient antiviral drug targets. GCRV-II, the causative agent of the grass carp epidemic hemorrhagic disease, has caused tremendous losses in grass carp culture in China. To date, the receptor of GCRV-II remains unknown. This study focused on identifying cellular receptor interacting with the GCRV-II outer capsid protein VP35, studying the effects of their interaction on GCRV-II proliferation, and revealing the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that Hsp90 acts both as a receptor of GCRV-II by interacting with VP35 and as a chaperone for the maturation of VP35, thus ensuring efficient proliferation of GCRV-II. Our data provide important insights into the role of Hsp90 in GCRV-II life cycle, which will help understand the mechanism of reovirus infection.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a kind of proteins which mostly found in bacterial, plant and animal cells, in which they are involved in the monitoring and regulation of cellular life activities. HSPs protect other proteins under environmental and cellular stress by regulating protein folding and supporting the correctly folded structure of proteins as chaperones. During viral infection, some HSPs can have an antiviral effect by inhibiting viral proliferation through interaction and activating immune pathways to protect the host cell. However, although the biological function of HSPs is to maintain the homeostasis of cells, some HSPs will also be hijacked by viruses to help their invasion, replication, and maturation, thereby increasing the chances of viral survival in unfavorable conditions inside the host cell. In this review, we summarize the roles of the heat shock protein family in various stages of viral infection and the potential uses of these proteins in antiviral therapy.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 127:910-917.

Abstract
Autophagy-related gene 5 (Atg5), an essential component of autophagy machinery, is associated with innate immune responses. Here, the Atg5 of sea perch (Lateolabrax japonicus) (LjAtg5) was cloned and its role in regulating autophagy and interferon (IFN) response during red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection was investigated. The LjAtg5 cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 275 amino acids with an APG5 domain, and had the closet genetic relationship with Micropterus salmoides Atg5. Autophagic detection showed LjAtg5 was conserved in inducing cell autophagy. Spatial expression analysis revealed LjAtg5 had a higher expression level in liver, brain, and kidney tissues of RGNNV-infected sea perch compared with the control group. In RGNNV-infected LJB cells, overexpression of LjAtg5 significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of capsid protein, whereas knockdown of LjAtg5 led to the opposite effect, indicating LjAtg5 played a pro-viral role during RGNNV infection. Furthermore, dual luciferase reporter assay revealed LjAtg5 significantly suppressed the activation of sea perch type I IFN promoter in vitro, and overexpression of LjAtg5 strongly weaken the expression of genes related to the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) signaling pathway and IFN stimulated genes. These results suggested LjAtg5 promoted RGNNV infection by negatively regulating RLRs-IFN signaling pathway.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:654-664.

Abstract
Autophagy, a conserved cellular degradative process, plays a crucial role in innate immunity during viral infections. Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a leading cause of fish diseases with morbidity and mortality, triggers cell autophagy to promote viral replication; however, the details of how NNV utilises autophagy to facilitate its own replication remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which the sea perch Nectin4 (LjNectin4), a receptor of NNV, regulates autophagy and the innate immune system by targeting TNFR-associated factor 3 (TRAF3). Our data demonstrated that LjNectin4 directly binds to the NNV capsid protein and facilitates NNV entry, indicating that LjNectin4 functions as an NNV receptor. Moreover, LjNectin4 promoted NNV replication by inhibiting key elements of the RLR signalling pathway (MDA5, MAVS, TRAF3, TBK1, and IRF3)-induced IFN response. Mechanistically, LjNectin4 directly interacted with TRAF3 and promoted its autophagy-mediated lysosomal degradation. Domain mapping of the interaction between TRAF3 and LjNectin4 or TBK1 showed that both LjNectin4 and TBK1 interacted with the ZF2 and TRAF-C domains of TRAF3, suggesting that LjNectin4 blocked TRAF3-TBK1 complex formation. Collectively, our study revealed that NNV utilises LjNectin4 to suppress IFN production by mediating TRAF3 autophagic degradation and disrupting the TRAF3-TBK1 complex, thereby promoting NNV replication.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a highly pathogenic RNA virus, is a major pathogen in the global aquaculture industry. To efficiently infect fish, NNV must evade or subvert the host IFN for their replication; however, the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we reported that capsid protein (CP) of red-spotted grouper NNV (RGNNV) suppressed the IFN antiviral response to promote RGNNV replication in Lateolabrax japonicus brain cells, which depended on the ARM, S, and P domains of CP. CP showed an indirect or direct association with the key components of retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptors signaling, L. japonicus TNFR-associated factor 3 (LjTRAF3) and IFN regulatory factor (LjIRF3), respectively, and degraded LjTRAF3 and LjIRF3 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in HEK293T cells. Furthermore, we found that CP potentiated LjTRAF3 K48 ubiquitination degradation in a L. japonicus ring finger protein 114-dependent manner. LjIRF3 interacted with CP through the S domain of CP and the transcriptional activation domain or regulatory domain of LjIRF3. CP promoted LjIRF3 K48 ubiquitination degradation, leading to the reduced phosphorylation level and nuclear translocation of LjIRF3. Taken together, we demonstrated that CP inhibited type I IFN response by a dual strategy to potentiate the ubiquitination degradation of LjTRAF3 and LjIRF3. This study reveals a novel mechanism of RGNNV evading host immune response via its CP protein that will provide insights into the complex pathogenesis of NNV.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that have recently been shown to function as host factors (HFs) for virus multiplication in fish as well as in mammals, plants, and insects. HSPs are classified into families, and each family has multiple isoforms. However, no comprehensive studies have been performed to clarify the biological importance of these multiple isoforms for fish virus multiplication. Betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis in cultured marine fish and cause very high mortality. Although the viral genome and encoded proteins have been characterized extensively, information on HFs for these viruses is limited. In this study, therefore, we focused on the HSP70 and HSP90 families to examine the importance of their isoforms for betanodavirus multiplication. We found that HSP inhibitors (17-AAG, radicicol, and quercetin) suppressed viral RNA replication and production of progeny virus in infected medaka (Oryzias latipes) cells. Thermal stress or virus infection resulted in increased expression of some isoform genes and facilitated virus multiplication. Furthermore, overexpression and knockdown of some isoform genes revealed that the isoforms HSP70-1, HSP70-2, HSP70-5, HSP90-α1, HSP90-α2, and HSP90-β play positive roles in virus multiplication in medaka. Collectively, these results suggest that multiple isoforms of fish HPSs serve as HFs for betanodavirus multiplication.

[PMID: 35752331 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.06.126] [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: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Lipid metabolism plays an important role in viral infections, and it can directly or indirectly affect various stages of viral infection in cells. As an important component of lipid metabolism, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays crucial roles in inflammation, immunity, and viral infections. Scavenger receptor B type 1 (SR-B1), a receptor of HDL, cannot be ignored in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Here, we investigate, for the first time, the role of Epinephelus coioides SR-B1 (Ec-SR-B1) in red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection. Our results indicate that Ec-SR-B1 could promote RGNNV infection. We also demonstrate that Ec-SR-B1 could facilitate viral entry and interact with capsid protein (CP) of RGNNV. As the natural ligand of SR-B1, HDL significantly increased RGNNV entry in a dose-dependent manner. However, we observed no effect of HDL on Ec-SR-B1 expression. The results of the micro-scale thermophoresis assay did not reveal an association between HDL and CP, suggesting that RGNNV does not enter target cells by using HDL as a ligand to bind to its receptor. In addition, block lipid transport-1, a compound that inhibits HDL-mediated cholesterol transfer, reduced the HDL-induced enhancement of RGNNV infection, indicating a role for lipid transfer in facilitating RGNNV entry. Furthermore, HDL inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and antiviral genes in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that the HDL-induced enhancement of RGNNV entry involves the complex interplay between Ec-SR-B1, HDL, and RGNNV, as well as the regulation of innate antiviral responses by HDL. In summary, we highlight the crucial role of HDL in RGNNV entry, identify a possible molecular connection between RGNNV and lipoprotein metabolism, and indicate the role of Ec-SR-B1 in RGNNV infection.

Abstract
Aquaculture offers a promising source of economic and healthy protein for human consumption, which can improve wellbeing. Viral diseases are the most serious type of diseases affecting aquatic animals and a major obstacle to the development of the aquaculture industry. In the background of antibiotic-free farming, the development and application of antibiotic alternatives has become one of the most important issues in aquaculture. In recent years, many medicinal plants and their active pharmaceutical ingredients have been found to be effective in the treatment and prevention of viral diseases in aquatic animals. Compared with chemical drugs and antibiotics, medicinal plants have fewer side-effects, produce little drug resistance, and exhibit low toxicity to the water environment. Most medicinal plants can effectively improve the growth performance of aquatic animals; thus, they are becoming increasingly valued and widely used in aquaculture. The present review summarizes the promising antiviral activities of medicinal plants and their active pharmaceutical ingredients against aquatic viruses. Furthermore, it also explains their possible mechanisms of action and possible implications in the prevention or treatment of viral diseases in aquaculture. This article could lay the foundation for the future development of harmless drugs for the prevention and control of viral disease outbreaks in aquaculture.

Abstract
In spite of the growing attention given to medaka (Oryzias latipes) as an excellent vertebrate model, an effective gene knockdown system has not yet been established using cultured cells of this fish species. In this study, a gene knockdown system using short interfering RNA (siRNA) in medaka cell lines was established through the optimization of transfection conditions. By extensive screening of several medaka cell lines and transfection reagents, OLHNI-2 cells and X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent were selected as the best combination to achieve high transfection efficiency of siRNA without cytotoxic effect. Knockdown conditions were then refined using the endogenous heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) genes as the siRNA targets. Among the parameters tested, cell density, serum concentration in the culture medium, and duration of transfection improved knockdown efficiency, where the target mRNA in cells transfected with each of the siRNAs was reduced from 12.0% to 26.7% of the control level. Our results indicate that the established knockdown system using siRNA is a promising tool for functional analysis of medaka genes in vitro.

Abstract
PDCoV is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus that mainly causes acute diarrhea in piglets, seriously affecting pig breeding industries worldwide. To date, the molecular mechanisms of PDCoV-induced immune and inflammatory responses or host responses in LLC-PK cells in vitro are not well understood. HSP90 plays important roles in various viral infections. In this study, HSP90AB1 knockout cells (HSP90AB1KO) were constructed and a comparative transcriptomic analysis between PDCoV-infected HSP90AB1WT and HSP90AB1KO cells was conducted using RNA sequencing to explore the effect of HSP90AB1 on PDCoV infection. A total of 1295 and 3746 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in PDCoV-infected HSP90AB1WT and HSP90AB1KO cells, respectively. Moreover, most of the significantly enriched pathways were related to immune and inflammatory response-associated pathways upon PDCoV infection. The DEGs enriched in NF-κB pathways were specifically detected in HSP90AB1WT cells, and NF-κB inhibitors JSH-23, SC75741 and QNZ treatment reduced PDCoV infection. Further research revealed most cytokines associated with immune and inflammatory responses were upregulated during PDCoV infection. Knockout of HSP90AB1 altered the upregulated levels of some cytokines. Taken together, our findings provide new insights into the host response to PDCoV infection from the transcriptome perspective, which will contribute to illustrating the molecular basis of the interaction between PDCoV and HSP90AB1.

Abstract
Yellowfin sea bream (Acanthopagrus latus) is an important economic fish, which is seriously threatened by various fish viruses. In this study, a cell line designated as ALL derived from the liver of yellowfin sea bream was developed and characterized. The cell line grew well in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10%-20% foetal bovine serum at 28°C. Amplification of the cytochrome B gene indicated that ALL cells originated from yellowfin sea bream. The modal chromosome number of ALL cells was 48. ALL cells were efficiently transfected with pEGFP-N3 plasmids, indicating the potential application of ALL cells in exogenous gene manipulation studies. ALL cells were susceptive to three main fish viruses, including viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) and largemouth bass virus (LMBV). The replication of VHSV, RGNNV and LMBV in ALL cells was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, virus titre and transmission electron microscopy assays. Moreover, ALL cells could respond to VHSV, RGNNV and LMBV infections, as indicated by the differential expression of antiviral genes involving in the innate immune response. In conclusion, the newly established ALL cell line will be an excellent in vitro platform for the study of the virus-yellowfin sea bream interaction.

HSP90 inhibitors 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibit porcine deltacoronavirus replication in vitro. Vet Microbiol 2021; 265:109316.

Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is highly pathogenic to piglets, and no specific drugs or vaccines are available for the prevention and treatment of PDCoV infection, the need for antiviral therapies is pressing. HSP90 inhibitors have potent inhibitory effects against the replication of numerous viruses, hence we evaluated three HSP90 inhibitors, 17-AAG, VER-82576, and KW-2478, for their effects on PDCoV infection in vitro. We evaluated their effectivenesses at suppressing PDCoV by qRT-PCR, western blot, and TCID50 assay, and found that 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibited PDCoV at the early stage of replication, while KW-2478 showed no significant antiviral activity at any stage of infection. These results indicated that the PDCoV-inhibitory effects of 17-AAG and VER-82576 might be exerted by targeting host cell factor HSP90AB1 but not HSP90AA1. Further study showed that HSP90AB1 mRNA and protein levels were not significantly different in 17-AAG and VER-82576-treated cells versus control cells. 17-AAG and VER-82576 were also evaluated for their effects on the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12, which are PDCoV-induced proinflammatory cytokines. We found that both 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibited the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12 to varying degrees, but in a dose dependent manner. From our data we can conclude that the HSP90 inhibitors 17-AAG and VER-82576 are promising candidates for the treatment of PDCoV infection.

Abstract
Aquaculture is an important industry globally as it remains one of the significant alternatives of animal protein source supplies for humankind. Yet, the progression of this industry is being dampened by the increasing rate of fish mortality, mainly the outbreak of infectious diseases. Consequently, the regress in aquaculture ultimately results in the economy of multiple countries being affected due to the decline of product yields and marketability. By 2025, aquaculture is expected to contribute approximately 57% of fish consumption worldwide. Without a strategic approach to curb infectious diseases, the increasing demands of the aquaculture industry may not be sustainable and hence contributing to the over-fishing of wild fish. Recently, a new holistic approach that utilizes multi-omics platforms including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics is unraveling the intricate molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction. This approach aims to provide a better understanding of how to improve the resistance of host species. However, no comprehensive review has been published on multi-omics strategies in deciphering fish disease etiology and molecular regulation. Most publications have only covered particular omics and no constructive reviews on various omics findings across fish species, particularly on their immune systems, have been described elsewhere. Our previous publication reviewed the integration of omics application for understanding the mechanism of fish immune response due to microbial infection. Hence, this review provides a thorough compilation of current advancements in omics strategies for fish disease management in the aquaculture industry. The discovery of biomarkers in various fish diseases and their potential advancement to complement the recent progress in combatting fish disease is also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is one of the most destructive fish viruses and affects more than 120 marine and freshwater teleost species. However, the pathogenesis of NNV has not been made clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of viral infection. To understand the roles and regulation patterns of miRNAs in NNV infection, high-throughput sequencing was carried out in Lateolabrax japonicus brain (LJB) cells with or without red-spotted grouper NNV (RGNNV) infection at 12 and 24 hr. Here, we identified 59 known and 61 novel differentially expressed miRNAs (DE miRNAs) between mock and RGNNV-infected LJB cells. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the target genes of DE miRNAs were significantly enriched in immune-related signalling pathways, such as autophagy, mitophagy and TGF-beta signalling pathways. The expression patterns of four DE miRNAs (lja-miR-145, lja-miR-182, lja-miR-183 and lja-miR-187) were verified by qRT-PCR both in vivo and in vitro. We found that lja-miR-145 promoted RGNNV proliferation, while lja-miR-183 suppressed RGNNV proliferation. Furthermore, lja-miR-145 facilitated RGNNV-induced autophagy activation, whereas lja-miR-183 repressed autophagy in LJB cells as measured by LC3B-II/I and p62 protein levels. All these results indicate the involvement of lja-miR-145 and lja-miR-183 in RGNNV-induced autophagy. In conclusion, this study provides evidence for the important roles of miRNAs in NNV infection and a basis for uncovering the molecular regulation mechanism of NNV-induced autophagy.

Abstract
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a small, non-enveloped, single stranded RNA virus which infects a wide variety of mammalian species, and has zoonotic importance. Many host proteins are known to regulate EMCV proliferation by interacting with its structural or nonstructural proteins, but the regulatory role and mechanism of heat shock protein 90β (HSP90β), in EMCV infection has not been reported yet. Here, we report that overexpression of HSP90β significantly promotes the growth and proliferation of EMCV in vitro. On the contrary, down-regulation of HSP90β by RNAi or geldanamycin inhibits EMCV replication. HSP90β suppresses IFN-β responses in the RLRs pathway by targeting the expression of the key adaptor molecules MAVS, TBK1, and IRF3, but not MDA5. This study demonstrates the firsthand information that HSP90β plays a positive role in viral proliferation by inhibiting EMCV induced IFN-β production. Collectively, the results reveal new insights into HSP90β-assisted progression of EMCV infection.

Abstract
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presents a global public health challenge. The viral pathogen responsible, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), binds to the host receptor ACE2 through its spike (S) glycoprotein, which mediates membrane fusion and viral entry. Although the role of ACE2 as a receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is clear, studies have shown that ACE2 expression is extremely low in various human tissues, especially in the respiratory tract. Thus, other host receptors and/or co-receptors that promote the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into cells of the respiratory system may exist. In this study, we found that the tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO (AXL) specifically interacts with the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 S. Using both a SARS-CoV-2 virus pseudotype and authentic SARS-CoV-2, we found that overexpression of AXL in HEK293T cells promotes SARS-CoV-2 entry as efficiently as overexpression of ACE2, while knocking out AXL significantly reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in H1299 pulmonary cells and in human primary lung epithelial cells. Soluble human recombinant AXL blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection in cells expressing high levels of AXL. The AXL expression level is well correlated with SARS-CoV-2 S level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cells from COVID-19 patients. Taken together, our findings suggest that AXL is a novel candidate receptor for SARS-CoV-2 which may play an important role in promoting viral infection of the human respiratory system and indicate that it is a potential target for future clinical intervention strategies.

Screening for the Proteins That Can Interact with Grouper Nervous Necrosis Virus Capsid Protein. Viruses 2020; 12:v12090985. [PMID: 32899810 PMCID: PMC7552068 DOI: 10.3390/v12090985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) can infect many species of fish and has an 80-100% mortality rate. NNV capsid protein (NNVCP) is the only structural protein of NNV, but there are few studies on the protein-protein interaction between NNVCP and the host cell. To investigate NNV morphogenesis, native NNV capsid protein (NNVCP) was used to screen for protein-protein interactions in this study. The results identified that 49 grouper optic nerve proteins can interact with NNVCP and may function as putative receptor or co-receptor, cytoskeleton, glucose metabolism and ATP generation, immunity, mitochondrial ion regulation, and ribosomal proteins. Creatine kinase B-type (CKB) is one of those 49 optic nerve proteins. CKB, a kind of enzyme of ATP generation, was confirmed to interact with NNVCP by far-Western blot and showed to colocalize with NNVCP in GF-1 cells. Compared to the control, the expression of CKB was significantly induced in the brain and eyes infected with NNV. Moreover, the amount of replication of NNV is relatively high in cells expressing CKB. In addition to providing the database of proteins that can interact with NNVCP for subsequent analysis, the results of this research also verified that CKB plays an important role in the morphogenesis of NNV.
