Abstract
dsRNA-dependent protein kinase R (PKR) is a key factor of innate immunity. It is involved in translation inhibition, apoptosis, and enhancement of the proinflammatory and IFN responses. However, how these antiviral functions are conserved during evolution remains largely unknown. Overexpression and knockout studies in a Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) cell line were conducted to assess the role of salmonid PKR in the antiviral response. Three distinct mRNA isoforms from a unique pkr gene, named pkr-fl (full length), pkr-ml (medium length) and pkr-sl (short length), were cloned and a pkr-/- clonal fish cell line was developed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. PKR-FL includes an N-terminal dsRNA-binding domain and a C-terminal kinase domain, whereas PKR-ML and PKR-SL display a truncated or absent kinase domain, respectively. PKR-FL is induced during IFNA2 stimulation but not during viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection. Overexpression experiments showed that only PKR-FL possesses antiviral functions, including activation of apoptosis and inhibition of de novo protein synthesis. Knockout experiments confirmed that PKR is involved in apoptosis activation during the late stage of VHSV infection. Endogenous PKR also plays a critical role in translation inhibition upon poly(I:C) transfection after IFNA2 treatment. It is, however, not involved in translational arrest during VHSV infection. Extra- and intracellular titrations showed that endogenous PKR does not directly inhibit viral replication but apparently favors virion release into the supernatant, likely by triggering late apoptosis. Altogether, our data confirm that salmonid PKR has conserved molecular functions that VHSV appears to bypass with subversion strategies.

Abstract
Viperin is an antiviral protein that exhibits a remarkably broad spectrum of antiviral activity. Viperin-like proteins are found all kingdoms of life, suggesting it is an ancient component of the innate immune system. However, viruses have developed strategies to counteract viperin's effects. Here, we describe a feedback loop between viperin and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), a common fish pathogen. We show that Lateolabrax japonicus viperin (Ljviperin) is induced by both IFN-independent and IFN-dependent pathways, with the C-terminal domain of Ljviperin being important for its anti-VHSV activity. Ljviperin exerts an antiviral effect by binding both the nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P) of VHSV and induces their degradation through the autophagy pathway, which is an evolutionarily conserved antiviral mechanism. However, counteracting viperin's activity, N protein targets and degrades transcription factors that up-regulate Ljviperin expression, interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 1 and IRF9, through ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Together, our results reveal a previously unknown feedback loop between viperin and virus, providing potential therapeutic targets for VHSV prevention. Importance Viral hemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) is a contagious disease caused by the viral hemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), which poses a threat to over 80 species of marine and freshwater fish. Currently, there are no effective treatments available for this disease. Understanding the mechanisms of VHSV-host interaction is crucial for preventing viral infections. Here, we found that, as an ancient antiviral protein, viperin degrades the N and P proteins of VHSV through the autophagy pathway. Additionally, the N protein also impacts the biological functions of IRF1 and IRF9 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, leading to the suppression of viperin expression. Therefore, the N protein may serve as a potential virulence factor for the development of VHSV vaccines and screening of antiviral drugs. Our research will serve as a valuable reference for the development of strategies to prevent VHSV infections.

Abstract
Fish novirhabdoviruses, including viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV), and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), harbor a unique non-virion (NV) gene that is crucial for efficient replication and pathogenicity. The effective levels and the function of the N-terminal region of the NV protein, however, remain poorly understood. In the present study, several recombinant VHSVs, which completely lack (rVHSV-ΔNV) or harbor an additional (rVHSV-dNV) NV gene, were generated using reverse genetics. To confirm the function of the N-terminal region of the NV protein, recombinant VHSVs with the NV gene that gradually mutated from the start codon (ATG) to the stop codon (TGA), expressed as N-terminally truncated NV proteins (rVHSV-NV1, -NV2, and -NV3), were generated. CPE progression and viral growth analyses showed that epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells infected with rVHSV-ΔNV or rVHSV-NV3—which did not express NV protein—rarely showed CPE and viral replication as opposed to EPC cells infected with rVHSV-wild. Interestingly, regardless of the presence of two NV genes in the rVHSV-dNV genome, EPC cells infected with rVHSV-dNV or rVHSV-A-EGFP (control) failed to induce CPE and viral replication. In EPC cells infected with rVHSV-dNV or rVHSV-A-EGFP, which harbored a longer VHSV genome than the wild-type, Mx gene expression levels, which were detected by luciferase activity assay, were particularly high; Mx gene expression levels were higher in EPC cells infected with rVHSV-ΔNV, -NV2, or -NV3 than in those infected with rVHSV-wild or rVHSV-NV1. The total amount of NV transcript produced in EPC cells infected with rVHSV-wild was much higher than that in EPC cells infected with rVHSV-dNV. However, the expression levels of the NV gene per viral particle were significantly higher in EPC cells infected with rVHSV-dNV than in cells infected with rVHSV-wild. These results suggest that the NV protein is an essential component in the inhibition of host type-I interferon (IFN) and the induction of viral replication. Most importantly, viral genome length might affect viral replication efficiency to a greater extent than does NV gene expression. In in vivo pathogenicity experiments, the cumulative mortality rates of olive flounder fingerlings infected with rVHSV-dNV or rVHSV-wild were similar (60–70%), while those of fingerlings infected with rVHSV-A-EGFP were lower. Moreover, the virulence of rVHSV-ΔNV and rVHSV, both harboring a truncated NV gene (rVHSV-NV1, -NV2, and -NV3), was completely attenuated in the olive flounder. These results suggest that viral pathogenicity is affected by the viral replication rate and NV gene expression. In conclusion, the genome length and NV gene (particularly the N-terminal region) expression of VHSVs are closely associated with viral replication in host type-I IFN response and the viral pathogenicity.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are canonical transmembrane receptors that play an important role in defending against invading pathogens. In this study, we identified a total of 12 TLR genes in black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) with an analysis of their sequence characterizations. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that 12 distinct TLRs were grouped into five subfamilies (i.e., TLR1, TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, and TLR11 subfamilies), and each SsTLR gene respectively corresponded to the orthologs genes of other species. The protein domain analysis indicated that TLRs are type I transmembrane proteins, including an extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR), a transmembrane region (TM) domain and an intracellular Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain. The evolutionary ratios indicted that 12 SsTLRs were under purifying selection. qRT-PCR assays exhibited diverse TLRs molecular expression patterns in the heart, brain, head kidney, kidney, liver, intestine, and spleen of 3 black rockfish, and the expression levels were high in some immune tissues (e.g., head kidney, kidney, and spleen). Subsequently, 30 fish were equally divided into 2 groups i.e., poly (I:C)-treated and PBS-Control groups. After poly (I:C) injection, eight SsTLRs, i.e., SsTLR2, SsTLR2-1, SsTLR2-2, SsTLR3, SsTLR5S, SsTLR7, SsTLR8 and SsTLR22, were dramatically increased. Altogether these results contribute to understanding how SsTLRs respond to immune defense after poly (I:C) injection and provide researchers with comprehensive TLR gene family data of black rockfish.

Abstract
Upon virus invasion of the host, APCs process Ags to short peptides for presentation by MHC class II (MHC-II). The recognition of virus-derived peptides in the context of MHC-II by CD4+ T cells initiates the adaptive immune response for virus clearance. As a survival instinct, viruses have evolved mechanisms to evade Ag processing and presentation. In this study, we discovered that IFN-γ induced endogenous MHC-II expression by a sea perch brain cell line through the STAT1/IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1)/CIITA signaling pathway. Furthermore, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus infection significantly inhibited the IFN-γ-induced expression of IRF1, CIITA, MHC-II-α, and MHC-II-β genes. By contrast, although STAT1 transcript was upregulated, paradoxically, the STAT1 protein level was attenuated. Moreover, overexpression analysis revealed that viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus N protein blocked the IFN-γ-induced expression of IRF1, CIITA, MHC-II-α, and MHC-II-β genes, but not the STAT1 gene. We also found out that N protein interacted with STAT1 and enhanced the overall ubiquitination level of proteins, including STAT1 in Lateolabrax japonicus brain cells. Enhanced ubiquitination of STAT1 through K48-linked ubiquitination led to its degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby inhibiting the biological function of STAT1. Our study suggests that aquatic viruses target Ag presentation in lower vertebrates for immune evasion as do mammalian viruses.

Abstract
As a highly prevalent disease among women worldwide, breast cancer remains in urgent need of further elucidation its molecular mechanisms to improve the patient outcomes. Identifying hub genes involved in the pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer can potentially help to unveil mechanism and also provide novel diagnostic and prognostic markers. In this study, we integrated multiple bioinformatic methods and RNA in situ detection technology to identify and validate hub genes. EZH2 was recognized as a key gene by PPI network analysis. CENPL, ISG20L2, LSM4, MRPL3 were identified as four novel hub genes through the WGCNA analysis and literate search. Among these, many studies on EZH2 in breast cancer have been reported, but no studies are related to the roles of CENPL, ISG20L2, MRPL3 and LSM4 in breast cancer. These four novel hub genes were up-regulated in tumor tissues and associated with cancer progression. The receiver operating characteristic analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that these four hub genes are promising candidate genes that can serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer. Moreover, these four newly identified hub genes as aberrant molecules in the maintenance of breast cancer development, their exact functional mechanisms deserve further in-depth study.

Abstract
Novirhabdoviruses belong to the Rhabdoviridae family of RNA viruses. All of the four members are pathogenic for bony fish. Particularly, Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) often cause mass animal deaths and huge economic losses, representing major obstacles to fish farming industry worldwide. The interactions between fish and novirhabdoviruses are becoming better understood. In this review, we will present our current knowledge of fish innate immunity, particularly type I interferon (IFN-I) response, against novirhabdoviral infection, and the evasion strategies exploited by novirhabdoviruses. Members of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) appear to be involved in novirhabdovirus surveillance. NF-κB activation and IFN-I induction are primarily triggered for antiviral defense. Autophagy can also be induced by viral glycoprotein (G). Although sensitive to IFN-I, novirhabdoviruses have nucleoprotein (N), matrix protein (M), and non-virion protein (NV) to interfere with host signal transduction and gene expression steps toward antiviral state establishment. Moreover, novirhabdoviruses may exploit some microRNAs for immunosuppression.

Abstract
Aquaculture provides important food, nutrition, and income sources for humans. However, aquaculture industry is seriously threatened by viral diseases. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) disease causes high mortality and economic losses to the fish culture industry in Asia and has been listed as a certifiable disease by the International Epizootic Office. Vaccine development is urgent to control this disease. Here, a gene-deleted live attenuated candidate vaccine (ΔORF022L) against ISKNV with low pathogenicity and high protection was developed. ΔORF022L replicated well in mandarin fish fry-1 cells and showed similar structure with wild-type ISKNV. However, the pathogenicity was significantly lower as 98% of the mandarin fish infected with ΔORF022L survived, whereas all those infected with wild-type ISKNV died. Of importance, 100% of the ΔORF022L-infected fish survived the ISKNV challenge. ΔORF022L induced anti-ISKNV specific antibody response and upregulation of immune-related genes. This work could be beneficial to the control of fish diseases.

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) causes clinical diseases and mortality in a wide variety of salmonid species. Here, we studied transcriptional responses in rainbow trout infected by the IHNV-Nagano strain isolated in Korea. RNA-seq-based transcriptome analysis of head kidney tissues cataloged differentially expressed genes. Enrichment analysis of gene ontology annotations was performed, and a total of fifteen biological process terms were commonly identified at all time points. In the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) signaling pathways such as the retinoic-acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor signaling pathway and the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway were identified at all time points. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization-domain-like receptor signaling pathway and cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway were identified at days 1 and 3. Protein-protein interaction network and centrality analyses revealed that the immune system, signaling molecules, and interaction pathways were upregulated at days 1 and 3, with the highest centrality of tumor necrosis factor. Cancer, cellular community, and endocrine system pathways were downregulated, with the highest centrality of fibronectin 1 at day 5. STAT1 was upregulated from days 1 to 5 with a high centrality. The reproducibility and repeatability of the transcriptome analysis were validated by RT-qPCR. IHNV-Nagano infection dynamically changed the transcriptome profiles in the head kidney of rainbow trout and induced a defense mechanism by regulating the immune and inflammatory pathways through PRR signaling at an early stage. Downregulated pathways involved in extracellular matrix formation and focal adhesion at day 5 indicated the possible failure of wound healing, which is important in the pathogenesis of IHNV infection.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, usually cationic, and amphiphilic molecules that play a crucial role in molecular and cellular host defense against pathogens, tissue damage, and infection. AMPs are present in all metazoans and several have been discovered in teleosts. Some teleosts, such as salmonids, have undergone whole genome duplication events and retained a diverse AMP repertoire. Salmonid AMPs have also been shown to possess diverse and potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic activity and are induced by a variety of factors, including dietary components and specific molecules also known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which may activate downstream signals to initiate transcription of AMP genes. Moreover, a multitude of cell lines have been established from various salmonid species, making it possible to study host-pathogen interactions in vitro, and several of these cell lines have been shown to express various AMPs. In this review, the structure, function, transcriptional regulation, and immunomodulatory role of salmonid AMPs are highlighted in health and disease. It is important to characterize and understand how salmonid AMPs function as this may lead to a better understanding of host-pathogen interactions with implications for aquaculture and medicine.

Effect of the Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus Nonvirion Protein on Translation via PERK-eIF2α Pathway. Viruses 2020; 12:v12050499. [PMID: 32365817 PMCID: PMC7290495 DOI: 10.3390/v12050499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is one of the most deadly infectious fish pathogens, posing a serious threat to the aquaculture industry and freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Previous work showed that VHSV sub-genotype IVb suppresses host innate immune responses, but the exact mechanism by which VHSV IVb inhibits antiviral response remains incompletely characterized. As with other novirhabdoviruses, VHSV IVb contains a unique and highly variable nonvirion (NV) gene, which is implicated in viral replication, virus-induced apoptosis and regulating interferon (IFN) production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of IVb NV gene in regulating viral or cellular processes is poorly understood. Compared to the wild-type recombinant (rWT) VHSV, mutant VHSV lacking a functional IVb NV reduced IFN expression and compromised innate immune response of the host cells by inhibiting translation. VHSV IVb infection increased phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), resulting in host translation shutoff. However, VHSV IVb protein synthesis proceeds despite increasing phosphorylation of eIF2α. During VHSV IVb infection, eIF2α phosphorylation was mediated via PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) and was required for efficient viral protein synthesis, but shutoff of host translation and IFN signaling was independent of p-eIF2α. Similarly, IVb NV null VHSV infection induced less p-eIF2α, but exhibited decreased viral protein synthesis despite increased levels of viral mRNA. These findings show a role for IVb NV in VHSV pathogenesis by utilizing the PERK-eIF2α pathway for viral-mediated host shutoff and interferon signaling to regulate host cell response.
