Isolation of an imported subgenotype B5 strain of human enterovirus A71 in Chongqing City, China, 2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is the main pathogen responsible for large outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in mainland China, and the dominant EV-A71 strains belong to subgenotype C4. To date, only one imported subgenotype B5 of EV-A71 has been reported in Xiamen City Fujian Province, 2009.

Results

Here, we report on another imported subgenotype B5 of EV-A71 isolated from a HFMD patient in Chongqing City in 2014 (strain CQ2014-86/CQ/CHN/2014, hereafter refer as CQ2014-86). The VP1 coding sequence and the whole genome sequence revealed that strain CQ2014-86 shares the high nucleotide identity with Vietnamese strains isolated in 2011-2013, suggesting that strain CQ2014-86 may have been imported from Vietnam. In the 5'UTR, P2 and P3 regions, recombination events were found between strain CQ2014-86 and other EV-A, such as coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4), CV-A5, CV-A14 and CV-A16.

Conclusions

This is the second report on importation of subgenotype B5 of EV-A71 in China, implying that we need to pay more attention to the importation of different subgenotypes of EV-A71.

Project description:Background: Subgenotype C4 of enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the predominant agent of Hand Foot and Mouth disease (HFMD) circulating in the mainland of China. For the first time, a subgenotype C2 of EV71 named SY30-2 was isolated from a HFMD case in Beijing, China. Since it is uncertain whether antibodies raised against subgenotype C4 of EV71 can protect C2 EV71, it is important to monitor and check the presence of cross-reactive antibodies against new EV71 subgenotypes. To find out the causes for the different NtAb, this study is to investigate the relationships between amino acid residue variations and cross-reactive antibodies against EV71 subgenotypes C2 and C4. Methods: Nucleotide and amino acid sequences from full-length genome sequence of SY30-2 were compared to EV71 reference strains. A microneutralization test was used to detect neutralizing antibody (NTAb) in the sera of subgenotype C4 of EV71 infected cases against SY30-2 and FY17 (a C4 isolate). The 3D structure of the viral capsid protein of SY30-2 was constructed. Results: Genome sequence and similarity plot analyses showed that SY30-2 shared the highest identity with subgenotype C2 of EV71 strains in every fragment of the genome. While the microneutralization test result showed that children infected with subgenotype C4 of EV71 had higher NTAb titers against FY17 than SY30-2 (p < 0.001). The amino acid sequence comparison revealed that four amino acid residues VP1-22, VP1-31, VP1-249 and VP3-93 were highly conserved in subgenotype C4 of EV71 compared with the corresponding amino acid residues on subgenotype C2 of EV71 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the 3D-structure of viral capsid protein showed that VP1-22, VP1-31 and VP3-93 were located on the surface of virion. Conclusion: This is the first report of an EV71 subgenotype C2 isolated from HFMD in Beijing, China. Only a few antigenic variations on subgenotype C2 of EV71 could have led to a great decrease in NTAb titer. Thus, imported new genotypes and subgenotypes of EV71 should be closely monitored. The efficacy of available vaccines against new viruses should be evaluated as well.
