Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian pathogen with an unsegmented negative-strand RNA genome that belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family. While primarily pathogenic in birds, NDV presents no threat to human health, rendering it a safe candidate for various biomedical applications. Extensive research has highlighted the potential of NDV as a vector for vaccine development and gene therapy, owing to its transcriptional modularity, low recombination rate, and lack of a DNA phase during replication. Furthermore, NDV exhibits oncolytic capabilities, efficiently eliciting antitumor immune responses, thereby positioning it as a promising therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. This article comprehensively reviews the biological characteristics of NDV, elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying its oncolytic properties, and discusses its applications in the fields of vaccine vector development and tumor therapy.

Molecular characterization of a virulent goose astrovirus genotype-2 with high mortality in vitro and in vivo. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103585. [PMID: 38492247 PMCID: PMC10959697 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103585] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is a newly identified viral pathogen threatening waterfowl, exhibiting a high prevalence across various regions in China. Notably, the Guanghan District of Deyang City, situated in Sichuan Province, has faced a outbreak of GAstV, resulting in significant mortality among goslings due to the induction of gout-like symptoms. In our research, we successfully isolated a GAstV strain known as GAstV SCG3. This strain exhibits efficient replication capabilities, proving virulent in goslings and goose embryos. Our study delved into the characteristics of GAstV SCG3 both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we examined tissue phagocytosis and the distribution of GAstV SCG3 in deceased goslings using H&E staining and IHC techniques. According to the classification established by the ICTV, GAstV SCG3 falls under the category of GAstV genotype-2. Notably, it demonstrates the highest homology with the published AHAU5 sequences, reaching an impressive 98%. Furthermore, our findings revealed that GAstV SCG3 exhibits efficient proliferation exclusively in goose embryos and in LMH cells, while not manifesting in seven other types of avian and mammalian cells. Significantly, the mortality of GAstV on goslings and goose embryos are 93.1 and 80%, respectively. Moreover, the viral load in the livers of infected goslings surpasses that in the kidneys when compared with the attenuated strain GAstV SCG2. The mortality of GAstV is usually between 20% and 50%, our study marks the first report of a virulent GAstV strain with such a high mortality.

Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. GAstV has rapidly spread across various regions in China since 2016. In Sichuan, out of 113 samples were collected from goose diseases between 2019 and 2022, 97 were positive for GAstV through PCR testing. Remarkably, over the past three years, GAstV outbreak in Sichuan has accounted for an astonishing 85.8% of all goose-origin viruses. Among these cases, 63.9% had single GAstV infections, 29.9% had dual infections, and 6.2% had quadruple infections. To comprehend the variations in virulence among distinct strains of GAstV. 12 representative strains of single GAstV infections were isolated. These strains exhibited distinct characteristics, such as prominent white urate depositions in organs and joints, as well as extensive tissues phagocytosis in major target organs' tissues. The conserved ORF1b genes and the variable ORF2 genes of these representative GAstV strains were sequenced, enabling the establishment of phylogenetic trees for GAstV. All GAstV strains were identified as belonging to genotype-2 with varying internal gene sequences. Experiments were conducted on GAstV genotype-2, both in vivo and in vitro, revealed significant variations in pathogenicity and virulence across susceptible cells, embryos, and goslings. This comprehensive study enhances researchers' understanding of the transmission characteristics and virulence of GAstV genotype-2, aiding in a better comprehension of their molecular epidemiology and pathogenic mechanism.

Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV, genus Avian Astrovirus, family Astrovirus) was first discovered in 2005, but was not considered as a pathogen of gosling gout until 2016. Since then, goose astrovirus has erupted in Chinese goslings, causing at most 50% of gosling deaths. By December 2022, the disease had become epidemic and prevailed in goose farms in Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Guangdong, Liaoning, Sichuan and other places in China. The disease mainly affects goslings within 3 weeks old. The typical symptoms of goose astrovirus are large deposits of urate in the viscera, joint cavity and ureter surface of infected goslings. Goose astrovirus infection can trigger high levels of iNOS, limiting goose astrovirus replication. The ORF2 domain P2 of the goose astrovirus activates the OASL protein, limiting its replication. Goose astrovirus can also activate pattern recognition receptors (RIG-I, MDA-5, TLR-3), causing an increase in MHC-Ia, MHC-Ib and CD81 mRNA, activating humoral and cellular immunity, thereby hindering virus invasion. Goose astrovirus also regulates the activation of IFNs and other antiviral proteins (Mx1, IFITM3, and PKR) in the spleens and kidneys to inhibit viral replication. The innate immune response process in goslings also activates TGF-β, which may be closely related to the immune escape of goose astrovirus. Gaining insight into the infection and innate immune mechanism of goose astrovirus can help researchers study and prevent the severe disease in goslings better.

A Review of Emerging Goose Astrovirus Causing Gout. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1635373. [PMID: 36072471 PMCID: PMC9441354 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1635373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, an infection in geese caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV) has repeatedly occurred in coastal areas of China and rapidly spread to inland provinces. The infection is characterized by joint and visceral gout and is fatal. The disease has caused huge economic losses to China's goose industry. GAstV is a nonenveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. As it is a novel virus, there is no specific classification. Here, we review the current understanding of GAstV. The virus structure, isolation, diagnosis and detection, innate immune regulation, and transmission route are discussed. In addition, since GAstV can cause gout in goslings, the possible role of GAstV in gout formation and uric acid metabolism is discussed. We hope that this review will inform researchers to rapidly develop effective methods to prevent and treat this disease.

Efficacy of recombinant Newcastle disease virus expressing HA protein of H9N2 Avian influenza virus in respiratory and intestinal tract. Poult Sci 2022; 101:102078. [PMID: 36272233 PMCID: PMC9589208 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2022.102078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV) is a low pathogenic AIV, which is widely prevalent all over the world. The infection of H9N2 AIV often leads to secondary infection with other pathogens, causing serious economic losses to poultry industry. Up to now, several recombinant Newcastle disease viruses (NDV) expressing H9N2 AIV hemagglutinin (HA) protein had been developed. However, the efficacy of recombinant virus on tracheal and intestinal injury caused by H9N2 AIV was rarely reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant NDV expressing H9N2 AIV HA protein in respiratory and intestinal tract. In this study, based on Red/ET homologous recombination technology, H9N2 AIV HA gene was embedded into the genome of NDV LaSota vaccine strain to obtain the recombinant virus rNDV-H9. The recombinant virus rNDV-H9 showed similar replication kinetic characteristics with the parent LaSota strain and had good genetic stability. The immunization result showed that rNDV-H9 induced high HI antibody titer against H9N2 AIV. In the H9N2 AIV challenge experiment, rNDV-H9 could significantly reduce the virus shedding in trachea and cloaca. In addition, rNDV-H9 protected the barrier function of chicken intestinal mucosal epithelial cells and reduced the virus-induced inflammatory response to a certain extent, so as to inhibit the abnormal proliferation of E. coli. This study suggests that rNDV-H9 is a promising vaccine candidate against H9N2 AIV.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for efficient vaccine platforms that can rapidly be developed and manufactured on a large scale to immunize the population against emerging viruses. Viral-vectored vaccines are prominent vaccine platforms that have been approved for use against the Ebola virus and SARS-CoV-2. The Newcastle Disease Virus is a promising viral vector, as an avian paramyxovirus that infects poultry but is safe for use in humans and other animals. NDV has been extensively studied not only as an oncolytic virus but also a vector for human and veterinary vaccines, with currently ongoing clinical trials for use against SARS-CoV-2. However, there is a gap in NDV research when it comes to process development and scalable manufacturing, which are critical for future approved vaccines. In this review, we summarize the advantages of NDV as a viral vector, describe the steps and limitations to generating recombinant NDV constructs, review the advances in human and veterinary vaccine candidates in pre-clinical and clinical tests, and elaborate on production in embryonated chicken eggs and cell culture. Mainly, we discuss the existing data on NDV propagation from a process development perspective and provide prospects for the next steps necessary to potentially achieve large-scale NDV-vectored vaccine manufacturing.

Extensive genetic heterogeneity and molecular characteristics of emerging astroviruses causing fatal gout in goslings. Poult Sci 2022; 101:101888.

Abstract
Since 2017, outbreaks of gosling astroviruses (GoAstV) causing the major symptoms related to gout in geese have posed a threat to China's poultry industry and caused huge economic losses. In this study, tissue samples from goslings with gout and urate deposition as the main symptoms were taken from 14 goose farms in different regions of China and screened for pathogen infection. The infection rate of GoAstV was 100%, whereas the infection rates of goose parvovirus, reovirus, Tembusu virus, and goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus were 2, 4, 0, and 0%, respectively. In total, 14 GoAstV strains were isolated and their complete genomes were sequenced. Based on the phylogenetic trees, the 14 isolated strains were classified as GoAstV (G-I) and were considered distant from strains belonging to GoAstV (G-II). The multiple sequence alignments indicated a tremendous amount of amino acid mutations in some parts of the encoding proteins of these strains; the main mutations were located in open reading frames (ORFs)—ORF1a and ORF2, such as M533V and F568S in ORF1a and A614T in ORF2. On the other hand, Further, 2 of the 14 GoAstV strains were possibly derived through inter-GoAstV-I recombination. Taken together, these findings indicate that GoAstVs are evolving in a more complex manner and have diverse transmission routes.

Core antigenic advantage domain-based ELISA to detect antibody against novel goose astrovirus in breeding geese. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:2053-2062.

Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV), the major causative agent of visceral and joint gout in goslings, is a novel pathogen greatly threatening waterfowl industry. Importantly, the horizontal and vertical transmissibility of GAstV posed a great challenge for disease prevention and control. Given the absence of commercial vaccine, restricting vertical transmission and protecting susceptible goslings must be a priority. Although many detection methods have been established, there is no serological method to detect GAstV-specific antibody, greatly limiting inspection and elimination of infected breeding bird. In this study, the B-cell epitopes of GAstV capsid protein were predicted, and its core antigenic advantage domain (shCAP) was expressed and purified. After authenticating the antigenicity, the recombinant shCAP protein was taken as the coating antigen, and an easily accessible indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established to detect GAstV-specific antibody. The working conditions, including antigen concentration, serum dilution and incubation time, blocking buffer concentration, and color developing time, were gradually optimized by checkerboard titration. The cut-off OD450 value of the indirect ELISA for positive sample was 0.379, and the analytical sensitivity was 1:800. There was no cross-reaction with sera against goose parvovirus (GPV), Tembusu virus (TUMV), H5 and H7 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV H5 + H7), and Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The assay was further applied to examine 73 breeding goose serum samples and shared excellent agreement of 93.5% (68/73) with western blot, which also suggested that GAstV is circulating in the goose population in China. In conclusion, the developed indirect ELISA is simple, specific, and sensitive, which will be greatly useful to screen GAstV infection and block vertical transmission. KEY POINTS: • B-cell epitopes of GAstV capsid protein were predicted and expressed as immunogen • A core antigenic advantage domain-based ELISA was established to detect GAstV-specific antibody • The established ELISA will contribute to inspection and elimination of infected breeding geese and provide a useful tool for large scale serological testing of GAstV in geese.

Abstract
Avian orthoavulaviruses type-1 (AOaV-1) have recently transitioned from animal vaccine vector to a bona fide vaccine delivery vehicle in human. Owing to induction of robust innate and adaptive immune responses in mucus membranes in both birds and mammals, AOaVs offer an attractive vaccine against respiratory pathogens. The unique features of AOaVs include over 50 years of safety profile, stable expression of foreign genes, high infectivity rates in avian and mammalian hosts, broad host spectrum, limited possibility of recombination and lack of pre-existing immunity in humans. Additionally, AOaVs vectors allow the production of economical and high quantities of vaccine antigen in chicken embryonated eggs and several GMP-grade mammalian cell lines. In this review, we describe the biology of AOaVs and define protocols to manipulate AOaVs genomes in effectively designing vaccine vectors. We highlighted the potential and established portfolio of AOaV-based vaccines for multiple respiratory and non-respiratory viruses of veterinary and medical importance. We comment on the limitations of AOaV-based vaccines and propose mitigations strategies. The exploitation of AOaVs vectors is expanding at an exciting pace; thus, we have limited the scope to their use as vaccines against viral pathogens in both animals and humans.

Generation and Evaluation of Recombinant Thermostable Newcastle Disease Virus Expressing the HA of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus. Viruses 2021; 13:v13081606. [PMID: 34452473 PMCID: PMC8402907 DOI: 10.3390/v13081606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) has become endemic in many countries, causing great economic losses when co-infected with other pathogens. So far, several live vaccines based on Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vectors expressing influenza hemagglutinin (HA) have been developed. However, the thermostable recombinant NDV is rarely reported. In this study, using a thermostable NDV rAHR09 strain as the vector, three recombinant NDVs expressing native HA, chimeric HA ectodomain with transmembrane domain/C-terminal cytoplasmic tail domain from fusion protein of NDV, and HA ectodomain were generated, designated rAHR09-HA, rAHR09-HAF, and rAHR09-HAE. The MDT value of three recombinant NDVs was above 120 h, their ICPI value was about 0.03, and the recombinant NDVs were still infectious when treated for 100 min under 56 °C, which demonstrated that the recombinant NDVs kept the lentogenic and thermostable nature of rAHR09. The immunization data showed that rAHR09-HA and rAHR09-HAF induced a higher HI antibody titer against H9N2 AIV and NDV. After being challenged with H9N2 AIV, the rAHR09-HA and rAHR09-HAF could significantly reduce the virus shedding in cloacal and tracheal swab samples. Our results suggest that rAHR09-HA and rAHR09-HAF might be vaccine candidates against H9N2 AIV.

Abstract
It has been 20 years since Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was first used as a vector. The past two decades have witnessed remarkable progress in vaccine generation based on the NDV vector and optimization of the vector. Protective antigens of a variety of pathogens have been expressed in the NDV vector to generate novel vaccines for animals and humans, highlighting a great potential of NDV as a vaccine vector. More importantly, the research work also unveils a major problem restraining the NDV vector vaccines in poultry, i.e., the interference from maternally derived antibody (MDA). Although many efforts have been taken to overcome MDA interference, a lack of understanding of the mechanism of vaccination inhibition by MDA in poultry still hinders vaccine improvement. In this review, we outline the history of NDV as a vaccine vector by highlighting some milestones. The recent advances in the development of NDV-vectored vaccines or therapeutics for animals and humans are discussed. Particularly, we focus on the mechanisms and hypotheses of vaccination inhibition by MDA and the efforts to circumvent MDA interference with the NDV vector vaccines. Perspectives to fill the gap of understanding concerning the mechanism of MDA interference in poultry and to improve the NDV vector vaccines are also proposed.

Abstract
Newcastle disease, which is a highly contagious and fatal disease caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), has harmed the poultry industry for decades. The administration of effective vaccines can control most outbreaks and epidemics of Newcastle disease in the world. However, vaccination failures of live attenuated vaccines becasue of storage and transportation problems have been reported. Hence, thermostable live vaccine strains, such as V4 and I-2 strains, are being used and welcomed in tropical regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia. In this study, a thermostable, attenuated vaccine candidate strain NDV/rHR09 was generated using the genotype VIII heat-resistant virulent NDV strain HR09 by the reverse genetics system. The results of the determination of the mean death time and intracerebral pathogenicity index indicated that NDV/rHR09 is lentogenic even after 15 serial passages in embryonated chicken eggs. The thermostability assessment showed that the NDV/rHR09 strain exhibited hemagglutination activity and infectivity when exposed to 56°C for 60 min. Compared with the commercially available La Sota and V4 vaccines, the NDV/rHR09 induced higher antibody titers in specific pathogen-free chickens. In addition, NDV/rHR09 conferred complete protection against virulent genotype VII NDV challenge and virus shedding from vaccinated chickens. These results suggest that NDV/rHR09 is a promising thermostable vaccine candidate strain.
