Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is a virulent pathogen that causes acute diarrhea in piglets. The virus was first discovered in Guangdong Province, China, in 2017 and has since emerged in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangxi Provinces. The outbreak exhibited a localized and sporadic pattern, with no discernable temporal continuity. The virus can infect human progenitor cells and demonstrates considerable potential for cross-species transmission, representing a potential risk for zoonotic transmission. Therefore, continuous surveillance of and comprehensive research on SADS-CoV are imperative. This review provides an overview of the temporal and evolutionary features of SADS-CoV outbreaks, focusing on the structural characteristics of the virus, which serve as the basis for discussing its potential for interspecies transmission. Additionally, the review summarizes virus-host interactions, including the effects on host cells, as well as apoptotic and autophagic behaviors, and discusses prevention and treatment modalities for this viral infection.

Project description:Coronaviruses as possible cross-species viruses have caused several epidemics. The ongoing emergency of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has posed severe threats to the global economy and public health, which has generated great concerns about zoonotic viruses. Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), an alpha-coronavirus, was responsible for mass piglet deaths, resulting in unprecedented economic losses, and no approved drugs or vaccines are currently available for SADS-CoV infection. Given its potential ability to cause cross-species infection, it is essential to develop specific antiviral drugs and vaccines against SADS-CoV. Drug screening was performed on a total of 3523 compound-containing drug libraries as a strategy of existing medications repurposing. We identified five compounds (gemcitabine, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, methylene blue and cepharanthine) exhibiting inhibitory effects against SADS-CoV in a dose-dependent manner. Cepharanthine and methylene blue were confirmed to block viral entry, and gemcitabine, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid and methylene blue could inhibit viral replication after SADS-CoV entry. This is the first report on SADS-CoV drug screening, and we found five compounds from drug libraries to be potential anti-SADS-CoV drugs, supporting the development of antiviral drugs for a possible outbreak of SADS-CoV in the future.

Project description:Although porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) has caused huge economic losses in the pork industry worldwide, an effective live, attenuated vaccine is lacking. In this study, an original US, highly virulent PED virus (PEDV) strain PC22A was serially passaged in Vero CCL81 and Vero BI cells. The virus growth kinetics in cell culture, virulence in neonatal pigs and the whole genomic sequences of selected passages were examined. Increased virus titers and sizes of syncytia were observed at the 65th passage level (P65) and P120, respectively. Based on the severity of clinical signs, histopathological lesions and the distribution of PEDV antigens in the gut, the virulence of P100 and above, but not P95C13 (CCL81), was markedly reduced in 4-day-old, caesarian-derived, colostrum-deprived piglets. Subsequently, the attenuation of P120 and P160 was confirmed in 4-day-old, conventional suckling piglets. Compared with P120, P160 replicated less efficiently in the intestine of pigs and induced a lower rate of protection after challenge. Sequence analysis revealed that the virulent viruses [P3 and P95C13 (CCL81)] had one, one, sixteen (including an early termination of nine amino acids) and two amino acid differences in non-structure protein 1 (nsp1), nsp4, spike and membrane proteins, respectively, from the fully attenuated P160. However, the overall pattern of attenuation-related genetic changes in PC22A differed from those of the other four pairs of PEDV wild type strains and their attenuated derivatives. These results suggest that PEDV attenuation can occur through multiple molecular mechanisms. The knowledge provides insights into potential molecular mechanisms of PEDV attenuation.

Project description:Bats are reservoirs for diverse coronaviruses, including swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). SADS-CoV was first identified in diarrheal piglets in 2017. As a novel alphacoronavirus, SADS-CoV shares ~95% identity with bat alphacoronavirus HKU2. SADS-CoV has been reported to have broad cell tropism and inherent potential to cross host species barriers for dissemination. Thus far, no effective antiviral drugs or vaccines are available to treat infections with SADS-CoV. Therefore, knowledge of the protein-coding gene set and a subcellular localization map of SADS-CoV proteins are fundamental first steps in this endeavor. Here, all SADS-CoV genes were cloned separately into Flag-tagged plasmids, and the subcellular localizations of viral proteins, with the exception of nsp11, were detected using confocal microscopy techniques. As a result, nsp1, nsp3-N, nsp4, nsp5, nsp7, nsp8, nsp9, nsp10, nsp14, and nsp15 were localized in the cytoplasm and nuclear spaces, and these viral proteins may perform specific functions in the nucleus. All structural and accessory proteins were mainly localized in the cytoplasm. NS7a and membrane protein M colocalized with the Golgi compartment, and they may regulate the assembly of SADS-CoV virions. Maturation of SADS-CoV may occur in the late endosomes, during which envelope protein E is involved in the assembly and release of the virus. In summary, the present study demonstrates for the first time the location of all the viral proteins of SADS-CoV. These fundamental studies of SADS-CoV will promote studies of basic virology of SADS-CoV and support preventive strategies for animals with infection of SADS-CoV. IMPORTANCE SADS-CoV is the first documented spillover of a bat coronavirus that causes severe diseases in domestic animals. Our study is an in-depth annotation of the newly discovered swine coronavirus SADS-CoV genome and viral protein expression. Systematic subcellular localization of SADS-CoV proteins can have dramatic significance in revealing viral protein biological functions in the subcellular locations. Furthermore, our study promote understanding the fundamental science behind the novel swine coronavirus to pave the way for treatments and cures.

Project description:Discovered in 2017, swine enteric alphacoronavirus (SeACoV), also known as swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) or porcine enteric alphacoronavirus (PEAV), is the fifth porcine CoV identified in diarrheal piglets. The presumed name "SADS-CoV" may not be appropriate since current studies have not provided strong evidence for high pathogenicity of the virus. SeACoV was the most recently recognized CoV of potential bat origin prior to the novel human severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV 2 (SARS-CoV-2), associated with the pandemic CoV disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although SeACoV is recognized as a regional epizootic virus currently, it possesses the most extensive cell species tropism in vitro among known CoVs. This review summarizes the emergence of SeACoV and updates the research progress made from 2017 to early 2020, mainly focusing on the etiology, epidemiology, evolutionary perspective, potential for interspecies transmission, pathogenesis and diagnosis.

Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS) is a highly contagious infectious disease characterized by acute vomiting and watery diarrhea in neonatal piglets. The causative agent for SADS is the swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), an alphacoronavirus in the family Coronaviridae. Currently, SADS-CoV was identified only in Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, not in any other regions or countries in the world. To explore the genetic diversity of SADS-CoV isolates, herein we comparatively analyzed 44 full-length genomes of viruses isolated in Guangdong and Fujian provinces during 2017-2019. The spike glycoprotein gene of SADS-CoV strain CH/FJWT/2018 isolated in Fujian province is distinct from that of other viral isolates in either spike glycoprotein gene-based phylogenetic analysis or whole genome-based gene similarity analysis. Moreover, at least 7 predicted linear B cell epitopes in the spike glycoprotein of CH/FJWT/2018 would be affected by amino acid variations when compared with a representative virus isolated in Guangdong province. The spike glycoprotein of coronaviruses determines viral host range and tissue tropism during virus infection via specific interactions with the cellular receptor and also plays critical roles in eliciting the production of neutralizing antibodies. Since SADS-CoVs have a broad cell tropism, the results in this report further emphasize that the spike glycoprotein gene is a pivotal target in the surveillance of SADS-CoV.

Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is a recently discovered coronavirus that causes severe and acute diarrhea and rapid weight loss in piglets. SADS-CoV was reported to be capable of infecting cell lines derived from diverse species, including bats, mice, hamsters, rats, chickens, pigs, nonhuman primates, and humans, implying its high risk of cross-species infection. However, its receptor is still unknown. In this study, the receptor-binding domain of the SADS-CoV spike (S) protein was purified and then subjected to affinity purification (AP)-coupled mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis to identify the interactors of the SADS-CoV S protein. Forty-three host proteins were identified, and a Gene Ontology analysis indicated that these interactors can be grouped into categories such as "cell-cell adhesion", "translation" "viral transcription", suggesting that these processes may participate in the SADS-CoV life cycles. RNA interference-based screening of these interactors indicated that PPIB and vimentin can affect SADS-CoV replication. Our study provides an overarching view into the host interactome of the SADS-CoV S protein and highlights potential targets for the development of therapeutics against SADS-CoV.

Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is an enveloped, single‐stranded, positive‐sense RNA viruse belonging to Coronaviridae family. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that viruses could utilize autophagy to promote their own replication. However, the relationship between SADS-CoV and autophagy machinery remained unknown. Here, we reported that SADS-CoV infection induced autophagy in cultured cells and pharmacologically increased autophagy was conducive to viral proliferation. Conversely, suppression of autophagy by pharmacological inhibitor or knockdown of autophagy-related protein impeded viral replication. Furthermore, we demonstrated the underlying mechanisms by which SADS-CoV triggered autophagy through inactivation of the Akt/mTOR pathway. Importantly, we identified integrin α3 (ITGA3) as a potential antiviral target upstream of Akt/mTOR and autophagy pathways by analyzing the proteomic profiles. Knockdown of ITGA3 using RNA inference activated autophagy and as a consequence, increased the replication of SADS-CoV. Collectively, our studies revealed a novel mechanism that SADS-CoV induced autophagy to facilitate its proliferation via Akt/mTOR pathway and found that ITGA3 is an effective antiviral factor for suppressing viral infection.

Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), a member of the family Coronaviridae and the genus Alphacoronavirus, primarily affects piglets under 7 days old, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. It has the potential to infect human primary and passaged cells in vitro, indicating a potential risk of zoonotic transmission. In this study, we successfully generated and purified six monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specifically targeting the spike protein of SADS-CoV, whose epitope were demonstrated specificity to the S1A or S1B region by immunofluorescence assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Three of these mAbs were capable of neutralizing SADS-CoV infection on HeLa-R19 and A549. Furthermore, we observed that SADS-CoV induced the agglutination of erythrocytes from both humans and rats, and the hemagglutination inhibition capacity and antigen-antibody binding capacity of the antibodies were assessed. Our study reveals that mAbs specifically targeting the S1A domain demonstrated notable efficacy in suppressing the hemagglutination phenomenon induced by SADS-CoV. This finding represents the first instance of narrowing down the protein region responsible for SADS-CoV-mediated hemagglutination to the S1A domain, and reveals that the cell attachment domains S1A and S1B are the main targets of neutralizing antibodies.

Project description:Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is an enveloped, positive single-stranded RNA virus belonging to Coronaviridae family, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily, Alphacoronavirus genus. As one of the main causes of swine diarrhea, SADS-CoV has brought huge losses to the pig industry. Although we have a basic understanding of SADS-CoV, the research on the pathogenicity and interactions between host and virus are still limited, especially the metabolic changes induced by SADS-CoV infection. Here, we utilized a combination of untargeted metabolomics and lipomics to analyze the metabolic alteration in SADS-CoV infected cells. Significant changes were observed in 1257 of 2225 metabolites identified in untargeted metabolomics, while the number of lipomics was 435 out of 868. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that amino acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and ferroptosis were disrupted during viral infection, suggesting that these metabolic pathways may partake in pathological processes related to SADS-CoV pathogenesis. Collectively, our findings gain insights into the cellular metabolic disorder during SADS-CoV infection, offer a valuable resource for further exploration of the relationship between virus and host metabolic activities, and provide potential targets for the development of antiviral drugs.
