RESUMO
The conversion of Adenosine (A) to Inosine (I), by Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA or ADARs, is an essential post-transcriptional modification that contributes to proteome diversity and regulation in metazoans including humans. In addition to its transcriptome-regulating role, ADARs also play a major part in immune response to viral infection, where an interferon response activates interferon-stimulated genes, such as ADARp150, in turn dynamically regulating host-virus interactions. A previous report has shown that infection from reoviruses, despite strong activation of ADARp150, does not influence the editing of some of the major known editing targets, while likely editing others, suggesting a potentially nuanced editing pattern that may depend on different factors. However, the results were based on a handful of selected editing sites and did not cover the entire transcriptome. Thus, to determine whether and how reovirus infection specifically affects host ADAR editing patterns, we analyzed a publicly available deep-sequenced RNA-seq dataset, from murine fibroblasts infected with wild-type and mutant reovirus strains that allowed us to examine changes in editing patterns on a transcriptome-wide scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first transcriptome-wide report on host editing changes after reovirus infection. Our results demonstrate that reovirus infection induces unique nuanced editing changes in the host, including introducing sites uniquely edited in infected samples. Genes with edited sites are overrepresented in pathways related to immune regulation, cellular signaling, metabolism, and growth. Moreover, a shift in editing targets has also been observed, where the same genes are edited in infection and control conditions but at different sites, or where the editing rate is increased for some and decreased for other differential targets, supporting the hypothesis of dynamic and condition-specific editing by ADARs.

Dendritic cells (DCs) present an ideal target for delivering immunogenic cargo due to their potent antigen-presenting capabilities. This targeting approach holds promise in vaccine development by enhancing the efficiency of antigen recognition and capture by DCs. To identify a high-affinity targeting peptide binding to rabbit DCs, rabbit monocyte-derived DCs (raMoDCs) were isolated and cultured, and a novel peptide, HS (HSLRHDYGYPGH), was identified using a phage-displayed peptide library. Alongside HS, two other DC-targeting peptides, KC1 and MY, previously validated in our laboratory, were employed to construct recombinant Lactgobacillus reuteri fusion-expressed rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) capsid protein VP60. These recombinant Lactobacillus strains were named HS-VP60/L. reuteri, KC1-VP60/L. reuteri, and MY-VP60/L. reuteri. The ability of these recombinant Lactobacillus to bind rabbit DCs was evaluated both in vivo and in vitro. Results demonstrated that the DC-targeting peptide KC1 significantly enhanced the capture efficiency of recombinant Lactobacillus by raMoDCs, promoted DC maturation, and increased cytokine secretion. Furthermore, oral administration of KC1-VP60/L. reuteri effectively induced SIgA and IgG production in rabbits, prolonged rabbit survival post-challenge, and reduced RHDV copies in organs. In summary, the DC-targeting peptide KC1 exhibited robust binding to raMoDCs, and recombinant Lactobacillus expressing KC1-VP60 protein antigens efficiently induced systemic and mucosal immune responses in rabbits, conferring protective efficacy against RHDV. This study offers valuable insights for the development of novel RHDV vaccines.

Many functions of viral attachment proteins are established, but less is known about the biological importance of viral attachment protein encapsidation efficiency. The mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) σ1 attachment protein forms filamentous trimers that incorporate into pentamers of the λ2 capsid protein. Reovirus strains vary in the efficiency of σ1 encapsidation onto progeny virions, which influences viral stability during entry into cells and the efficacy of tumor cell lysis. While the role of σ1 encapsidation has been evaluated in studies using cultured cells, the contribution of attachment protein encapsidation efficiency to viral infection in animals is less clear. Polymorphisms in reovirus σ1 at residues 22 and 249 have been implicated in viral dissemination in mice and susceptibility to proteolysis in the murine intestine, respectively. To determine whether these residues contribute to σ1 encapsidation efficiency, we engineered σ1 mutant viruses with single- and double-residue substitutions at sites 22 and 249. We found that substitutions at these sites alter the encapsidation of σ1 and that reoviruses encapsidating higher amounts of σ1 bind cells more avidly and have a modest replication advantage in a cell-type-specific manner relative to low σ1-encapsidating reoviruses. Furthermore, we found that a high σ1-encapsidating reovirus replicates and disseminates more efficiently in mice relative to a low σ1-encapsidating reovirus. These findings provide evidence of a relationship between viral attachment protein encapsidation efficiency and viral replication in cell culture and animal hosts. IMPORTANCE: Viral attachment proteins can serve multiple functions during viral replication, including attachment to host cells, cell entry and disassembly, and modulation of host immune responses. The relationship between viral attachment protein encapsidation efficiency and viral replication in cells and animals is poorly understood. We engineered and characterized a panel of reoviruses that differ in the capacity to encapsidate the σ1 attachment protein. We found that strains encapsidating σ1 with higher efficiency bind cells more avidly and replicate and spread more efficiently in mice relative to those encapsidating σ1 with lower efficiency. These results highlight a function for σ1 attachment protein capsid abundance in viral replication in cells and animals, which may inform future use of reovirus as an oncolytic therapeutic.

Mammalian reovirus (MRV) is a non-enveloped, gene segmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus. It is an important zoonotic pathogen that infects many mammals and vertebrates that act as natural hosts and causes respiratory and digestive tract diseases. Studies have reported that RIG-I and MDA5 in the innate immune cytoplasmic RNA-sensing RIG-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway can recognize dsRNA from MRV and promote antiviral type I interferon (IFN) responses. However, the mechanism by which many MRV-encoded proteins evade the host innate immune response remains unclear. Here, we show that exogenous µ1 protein promoted the proliferation of MRV in vitro, while knockdown of MRV µ1 protein expression by shRNA could impair MRV proliferation. Specifically, µ1 protein inhibited MRV or poly(I:C)-induced IFN-ß expression, and attenuated RIG-I/MDA5-mediated signaling axis transduction during MRV infection. Importantly, we found that µ1 protein significantly decreased IFN-ß mRNA expression induced by MDA5, RIG-I, MAVS, TBK1, IRF3(5D), and degraded the protein expression of exogenous MDA5, RIG-I, MAVS, TBK1 and IRF3 via the proteasomal and lysosomal pathways. Additionally, we show that µ1 protein can physically interact with MDA5, RIG-I, MAVS, TBK1, and IRF3 and attenuate the RIG-I/MDA5-mediated signaling cascades by blocking the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of IRF3. In conclusion, our findings reveal that MRV outer capsid protein µ1 is a key factor in antagonizing RLRs signaling cascades and provide new strategies for effective prevention and treatment of MRV infection.

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infections and hemorrhagic disease (GCHD) outbreaks are typically seasonally periodic and temperature-dependent, yet the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we depicted that temperature-dependent IL-6/STAT3 axis was exploited by GCRV to facilitate viral replication via suppressing type â IFN signaling. Combined multi-omics analysis and qPCR identified IL-6, STAT3, and IRF3 as potential effector molecules mediating GCRV infection. Deploying GCRV challenge at 18 °C and 28 °C as models of resistant and permissive infections and switched to the corresponding temperatures as temperature stress models, we illustrated that IL-6 and STAT3 expression, genome level of GCRV, and phosphorylation of STAT3 were temperature dependent and regulated by temperature stress. Further research revealed that activating IL-6/STAT3 axis enhanced GCRV replication and suppressed the expression of IFNs, whereas blocking the axis impaired viral replication. Mechanistically, grass carp STAT3 inhibited IRF3 nuclear translocation via interacting with it, thus down-regulating IFNs expression, restraining transcriptional activation of the IFN promoter, and facilitating GCRV replication. Overall, our work sheds light on an immune evasion mechanism whereby GCRV facilitates viral replication by hijacking IL-6/STAT3 axis to down-regulate IFNs expression, thus providing a valuable reference for targeted prevention and therapy of GCRV.

Recent research has highlighted complex and close interaction between miRNAs, autophagy, and viral infection. In this study, we observed the autophagy status in CIK cells infected with GCRV at various time points. We found that GCRV consistently induced cellar autophagy from 0 h to 12 h post infection. Subsequently, we performed deep sequencing on CIK cells infected with GCRV at 0 h and 12 h respectively, identifying 38 DEMs and predicting 9581 target genes. With the functional enrichment analyses of GO and KEGG, we identified 35 autophagy-related target genes of these DEMs, among which akt3 was pinpointed as the most central hub gene using module assay of the PPI network. Then employing the miRanda and Targetscan programs for prediction, and verification through a double fluorescent enzyme system and qPCR method, we confirmed that miR-193 b-3p could target the 3'-UTR of grass carp akt3, reducing its gene expression. Ultimately, we illustrated that grass carp miR-193 b-3p could promote autophagy in CIK cells. Above results collectively indicated that miRNAs might play a critical role in autophagy of grass carp during GCRV infection and contributed significantly to antiviral immunity by targeting autophagy-related genes. This study may provide new insights into the intricate mechanisms involved in virus, autophagy, and miRNAs.

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV), particularly the highly prevalent type II GCRV (GCRV-II), causes huge losses in the aquaculture industry. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which GCRV-II invades grass carp and further disseminates among tissues. In the present study, monocytes/macrophages (Mo/Mφs) were isolated from the peripheral blood of grass carp and infected with GCRV-II. The results of indirect immunofluorescent microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot (WB), and flow cytometry analysis collectively demonstrated that GCRV-II invaded Mo/Mφs and replicated in them. Additionally, we observed that GCRV-II induced different types (M1 and M2) of polarization of Mo/Mφs in multiple tissues, especially in the brain, head kidney, and intestine. To assess the impact of different types of polarization on GCRV-II replication, we recombinantly expressed and purified the intact cytokines CiIFN-γ2, CiIL-4/13A, and CiIL-4/13B and successfully induced M1 and M2 type polarization of macrophages using these cytokines through in vitro experiments. qRT-PCR, WB, and flow cytometry analyses showed that M2 macrophages had higher susceptibility to GCRV-II infection than other types of Mo/Mφs. In addition, we found GCRV-II induced apoptosis of Mo/Mφs to facilitate virus replication and dissemination and also detected the presence of GCRV-II virus in plasma. Collectively, our findings indicated that GCRV-II could invade immune cells Mo/Mφs and induce apoptosis and polarization of Mo/Mφs for efficient infection and dissemination, emphasizing the crucial role of Mo/Mφs as a vector for GCRV-II infection.IMPORTANCEType II grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is a prevalent viral strain and causes huge losses in aquaculture. However, the related dissemination pathway and mechanism remain largely unclear. Here, our study focused on phagocytic immune cells, monocytes/macrophages (Mo/Mφs) in blood and tissues, and explored whether GCRV-II can invade Mo/Mφs and replicate and disseminate via Mo/Mφs with their differentiated type M1 and M2 macrophages. Our findings demonstrated that GCRV-II infected Mo/Mφs and replicated in them. Furthermore, GCRV-II infection induces an increased number of M1 and M2 macrophages in grass carp tissues and a higher viral load in M2 macrophages. Furthermore, GCRV-II induced Mo/Mφs apoptosis to release viruses, eventually infecting more cells. Our study identified Mo/Mφs as crucial components in the pathway of GCRV-II dissemination and provides a solid foundation for the development of treatment strategies for GCRV-II infection.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are potent antioxidants crucial for neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protecting organisms from oxidative damage. In this study, we successfully cloned and analyzed two SOD genes, CiSOD1 and CiSOD2, from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). CiSOD1 consists of two CuZn signature motifs and two conserved cysteine residues, while CiSOD2 contains a single Mn signature motif. The expression of CiSODs was found to be ubiquitous across all examined tissues, with their expression levels significantly altered after stimulation by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). CiSOD1 was observed to be uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm, whereas CiSOD2 localized in the mitochondria. Escherichia coli transformed with both CiSODs demonstrated enhanced host resistance to H2O2 and heavy metals. Additionally, purified recombinant CiSOD proteins effectively protected DNA against oxidative damage. Furthermore, overexpression of CiSODs in fish cells reduced intracellular ROS, inhibited autophagy, and then resulted in the promotion of GCRV replication. Knockdown of CiSODs showed opposite trends. Notably, these roles of CiSODs in autophagy and GCRV replication were reversed upon treatment with an autophagy inducer. In summary, our findings suggest that grass carp SODs play an important role in decreasing intracellular ROS levels, inhibiting autophagy, and subsequently promoting GCRV replication.

In recent years, reoviruses have been of major interest in immunotherapy because of their oncolytic properties. Preclinical and clinical trials, in which reovirus was used for the treatment of melanoma and glioblastoma, have paved the way for future clinical use of reovirus. However, little is known about how reovirus infection affects the tumor microenvironment and immune response towards infected tumor cells. Studies have shown that reovirus can directly stimulate natural killer (NK) cells, but how reovirus affects cellular ligands on tumor cells, which are ultimately key to tumor recognition and elimination by NK cells, has not been investigated. We tested how reovirus infection affects the binding of the NK Group-2 member D (NKG2D) receptor, which is a dominant mediator of NK cell anti-tumor activity. Using models of human-derived melanoma and glioblastoma tumors, we demonstrated that NKG2D ligands are downregulated in tumor cells post-reovirus-infection due to the impaired translation of these ligands in reovirus-infected cells. Moreover, we showed that downregulation of NKG2D ligands significantly impaired the binding of NKG2D to infected tumor cells. We further demonstrated that reduced recognition of NKG2D ligands significantly alters NK cell anti-tumor cytotoxicity in human primary NK cells and in the NK cell line NK-92. Thus, this study provides novel insights into reovirus-host interactions and could lead to the development of novel reovirus-based therapeutics that enhance the anti-tumor immune response.

In mammals, right open reading frame kinase 3 (RIOK3) is related with cancer development and immune regulation. To explore the role of teleost RIOK3 in the antiviral innate immunity, the homolog of RIOK3 (bcRIOK3) from black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized in this study. Sequence analysis revealed that bcRIOK3 is conserved in vertebrates. The transcription of bcRIOK3 varied in host cells in response to the stimulation of spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), poly (I:C), and LPS. Immunoblotting (IB) and immunofluorescence (IF) assays identified bcRIOK3 as a cytoplasmic protein with a molecular weight of â¼60 kDa. It was interesting that bcRIOK3 knockdown led to the decreased basal mRNA levels of IFNa, IFNb and Viperin; however, triggered obviously higher mRNA levels of the above genes after viral infection and enhanced host resistance to SVCV. Like its mammalian counterpart, bcRIOK3 overexpression in EPC cells showed a significant inhibitory effect on black carp MDA5 (bcMDA5)-mediated transcription of interferon promoters and antiviral activity. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent assays identified the association between bcRIOK3 and bcMDA5. Further analysis revealed that bcRIOK3 enhanced the K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of bcMDA5, and it weakened the oligomerization of bcMDA5 under poly (I:C) stimulation. In summary, our data conclude that RIOK3 dampens MDA5-mediated IFN signaling by promoting its degradation in black carp, which provide new insights into the regulation of IFN signaling in teleost.

Fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) proteins can promote cell fusion, alter membrane permeability and trigger apoptosis to promote virus proliferation in orthoreoviruses. However, it is unknown whether FAST proteins perform these functions in aquareoviruses (AqRVs). Non-structural protein 17 (NS17) carried by grass carp reovirus Honghu strain (GCRV-HH196) belongs to the FAST protein family, and we preliminarily explored its relevance to virus infection. NS17 has similar domains to FAST protein NS16 of GCRV-873, comprising a transmembrane domain, a polybasic cluster, a hydrophobic patch and a polyproline motif. It was observed in the cytoplasm and the cell membrane. Overexpression of NS17 enhanced the efficiency of cell-cell fusion induced by GCRV-HH196 and promoted virus replication. Overexpression of NS17 also led to DNA fragmentation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and it triggered apoptosis. The findings illuminate the functions of NS17 in GCRV infection, and provide a reference for the development of novel antiviral strategies.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is one of the most economically important fish in China, and its production is commonly lost due to GCRV infection. To understand the molecular mechanism of GCRV resistance in grass carp, we compared the spleen transcriptome of the GCRV-resistant and susceptible individuals under GCRV infection (Res-Sus) and the GCRV-resistant individuals under different conditions of injection with GCRV and PBS (Res-Ctl). A total of 87.56 GB of clean data were obtained from 12 transcriptomic libraries of spleen tissues. A total of 379 DEGs (156 upregulated genes and 223 downregulated genes) were identified in the comparison group Res-Ctl. A total of 1207 DEGs (633 upregulated genes and 574 downregulated genes) were identified in the comparison group Res-Sus. And 54 DEGs were shared including immune-related genes of stc2 (stanniocalcin 2), plxna1 (plexin A1), ifnα (interferon alpha), cxcl 11 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11), ngfr (nerve growth factor receptor), mx (MX dynamin-like GTPase), crim1 (cysteine-rich transmembrane BMP regulator 1), plxnb2 (plexin B2), and slit2 (slit guidance ligand 2). KEGG pathway analysis revealed significant differences in the expression of genes mainly involved in immune system and signal transduction, including antigen processing and presentation, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and Hippo signaling pathway. This study investigates the immune mechanism of the resistance to GCRV infection in grass carp and provides useful information for the development of methods to control the spread of the GCRV infection.

Novel Duck Reovirus (NDRV) that has been found throughout the world in waterfowl, and it has been extensively described. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a NDRV strain isolated in China called NDRV YF10. This strain was collected from 87 samples with infected ducks in South Coastal Area. The NDRV genome consists of 23,419 bp. With the assistance of computer analysis, the promoter and terminator of each gene segment and 10 viral genes segments were identified, which encode polypeptides ranging from 98 to 1,294 amino acids. All gene fragments of this virus strain were determined and compared to previously reported strains, revealing genetic variation with similarity rates ranging from 96 to 99% for each gene segment. Each gene segment formed 2 host-associated groups, the waterfowl-derived reovirus and the avian-derived reovirus, except for the S1 gene segment, which was closely related to ARV evolution and formed a host-independent subcluster. This difference may be due to Avian Reovirus (ARV) evolving in a host-dependent manner. In order to evaluate the pathogenicity of YF10, a novel isolated strain of NDRV was tested in 2 types of ducks. It was observed that the YF10 isolated strain exhibits varying degrees of virulence, highlighting the potential risk posed to different types of ducks. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the importance of epidemiology studies, molecular characterization, and prevention of NDRV in waterfowl.

Grass carp reovirus genotype â ¡ (GCRV â ¡) causes hemorrhagic disease in a variety fish, seriously affecting the aquaculture industry in China. However, the pathogenesis of GCRV â ¡ is unclear. Rare minnow is an ideal model organism to study the pathogenesis of GCRV â ¡. Herein, we applied liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry metabolomics to investigate metabolic responses in the spleen and hepatopancreas of rare minnow injected with virulent GCRV â ¡ isolate DY197 and attenuated isolate QJ205. Results indicated that marked metabolic changes were identified in both the spleen and hepatopancreas after GCRV â ¡ infection, and the virulent DY197 strain induced more significantly different metabolites (SDMs) than the attenuated QJ205 strain. Moreover, most SDMs were downregulated in the spleen and tend to be upregulated in hepatopancreas. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that tissue-specific metabolic responses were identified after viruses infection, and the virulent DY197 strain induced more SDMs involved in amino acid metabolism in the spleen, especially the tryptophan metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, which were essential for immune regulation in host; Meanwhile, nucleotide metabolism, protein synthesis and metabolism related pathways were enriched in the hepatopancreas by both virulent and attenuated strains. Our findings revealed the large scale metabolic alterations in rare minnow in response to attenuated and virulent GCRV â ¡ infection, which will lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of viruses and host-pathogens interactions.

Viral seasonality in the aquaculture industry is an important scientific issue for decades. While the molecular mechanisms underpinning the temperature-dependent pathogenesis of aquatic viral diseases remain largely unknown. Here we report that temperature-dependent activation of IL6-STAT3 signaling was exploited by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) to promote viral entry via increasing the expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). Deploying GCRV infection as a model system, we discovered that GCRV induces the IL6-STAT3-HSP90 signaling activation to achieve temperature-dependent viral entry. Further biochemical and microscopic analyses revealed that the major capsid protein VP7 of GCRV interacted with HSP90 and relevant membrane-associated proteins to boost viral entry. Accordingly, exogenous expression of either IL6, HSP90, or VP7 in cells increased GCRV entry in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, other viruses (e.g., koi herpesvirus, Rhabdovirus carpio, Chinese giant salamander iridovirus) infecting ectothermic vertebrates have evolved a similar mechanism to promote their infection. This work delineates a molecular mechanism by which an aquatic viral pathogen exploits the host temperature-related immune response to promote its entry and replication, instructing us on new ways to develop targeted preventives and therapeutics for aquaculture viral diseases.

Mammalian orthoreovirus serotype 3 Dearing is an oncolytic virus currently undergoing multiple clinical trials as a potential cancer therapy. Previous clinical trials have emphasized the importance of prescreening patients for prognostic markers to improve therapeutic success. However, only generic cancer markers such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Hras, Kras, Nras, Braf, and p53 are currently utilized, with limited benefit in predicting therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling during reovirus infection. Using a panel of specific p38 MAPK inhibitors and an inactive inhibitor analogue, p38 MAPK signaling was found to be essential for establishment of reovirus infection by enhancing reovirus endocytosis, facilitating efficient reovirus uncoating at the endo-lysosomal stage, and augmenting postuncoating replication steps. Using a broad panel of human breast cancer cell lines, susceptibility to reovirus infection corresponded with virus binding and uncoating efficiency, which strongly correlated with status of the p38ß isoform. Together, results suggest p38ß isoform as a potential prognostic marker for early stages of reovirus infection that are crucial to successful reovirus infection. IMPORTANCE The use of Pelareorep (mammalian orthoreovirus) as a therapy for metastatic breast cancer has shown promising results in recent clinical trials. However, the selection of prognostic markers to stratify patients has had limited success due to the fact that these markers are upstream receptors and signaling pathways that are present in a high percentage of cancers. This study demonstrates that the mechanism of action of p38 MAPK signaling plays a key role in establishment of reovirus infection at both early entry and late replication steps. Using a panel of breast cancer cell lines, we found that the expression levels of the MAPK11 (p38ß) isoform are a strong determinant of reovirus uncoating and infection establishment. Our findings suggest that selecting prognostic markers that target key steps in reovirus replication may improve patient stratification during oncolytic reovirus therapy.

SERPINA1, a member of the serine protease inhibitor family, plays a role in viral infection and inflammation by regulating the activities of serine and cysteine proteases. To date, there have been no reports on the immune function of SERPINA1 in fishes. In this study, we first cloned the serpina1 gene of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) and found that it could respond rapidly to the infection of Grass carp reovirus (GCRV), and overexpression of serpina1 could enhance the antiviral response of CIK cells. A polyclonal antibody of SERPINA1 was prepared, and the protein interacting with SERPINA1 was screened by CoIP/MS in grass carp hepatopancreas tissue. It was found that SERPINA1 interacted with coagulation factor 2 (CF2) and could degrade it in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, overexpression of cf2 contributed to the infection of GCRV in CIK cells, whereas co-expression of serpina1 and cf2 in grass carp reduced the copy number of GCRV in cells. The results showed that grass carp SERPINA1 could inhibit GCRV infection by degrading CF2. This study proposes that SERPINA1 can inhibit viral infection through interaction with the coagulation factor, providing new insights into the molecular mechanism of SERPINA1's antiviral function.

Autophagy impacts the replication cycle of many viruses. Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) is an agent that seriously affects the development of the grass carp aquaculture industry. The role of autophagy in GCRV infection is not clearly understood. In this study, we identified that GCRV infection triggered autophagy in CIK cells, which was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy, the conversion of LC3B I to LC3B II and the level of autophagy substrate p62. Furthermore, we found that GCRV infection activated Akt-mTOR signaling pathway, and the conversion of LC3B I to LC3B II was increased by inhibiting mTOR with rapamycin (Rap) but decreased by activating Akt with insulin. We then assessed the effects of autophagy on GCRV replication. We found that inducing autophagy with Rap promoted GCRV proliferation but inhibiting autophagy with 3 MA or CQ inhibited GCRV replication in CIK cells. Moreover, it was found that enhancing Akt-mTOR activity by insulin, GCRV VP7 protein and viral titers of GCRV were decreased. Collectively, these results indicated that GCRV infection induced autophagy involved in GCRV replication via the Akt-mTOR signal pathway. Thus, new insights into GCRV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies are provided.

In mammals, DYRK2 increases p53 phosphorylation level by interacting with it and then promotes cell apoptosis. However, the function of fish DYRK2 has not yet been elucidated. In this paper, we cloned and identified the coding sequence (CDS) of a grass carp DYRK2 (CiDYRK2) which is 1773 bp in length and encodes 590 amino acids. SMART predictive analysis showed that CiDYRK2 possesses a serine/threonine kinase domain. Subsequently, we used the dsRNA analog polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly (I:C) and Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) to stimulate grass carp and CIK cells for different times and found that CiDYRK2 mRNA was significantly up-regulated both in fish tissues and cells. To explore the function of CiDYRK2, we carried out overexpression and knockdown experiments of CiDYRK2 in CIK cells. Real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the ratio of BAX/BCL-2 mRNA, the number of TUNEL positive cells, the proportion of Annexin V-positive cells respectively. The results showed that CiDYRK2 significantly up-regulated BAX/Bcl-2 mRNA ratio and increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells, as well as the proportion of Annexin V-positive cells. On the contrary, knock-down of CiDYRK2 significantly down-regulated BAX/Bcl-2 mRNA ratio in the cells. Therefore, CiDYRK2 promoted cell apoptosis. To study the molecular mechanism by which CiDYRK2 promoting cell apoptosis, subcellular localization and immunoprecipitation experiments were used to study the relationship between grass carp DYRK2 and the pro-apoptotic protein p53. The results showed that CiDYRK2 and Cip53 were located and co-localized in the nucleus. Co-immunoprecipitation experiment also showed that CiDYRK2 and Cip53 can bind with each other. We further found that DYRK2 can increase the phosphorylation level of p53. In a word, our results showed that grass carp DYRK2 induces cell apoptosis by increasing the phosphorylation level of p53.
