The occurrence of porcine circovirus 3 without clinical infection signs in Shandong Province.

ABSTRACT: Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was detected in Shandong, China. One hundred and thirty-two of 222 (59.46%) samples were PCV3 positive, while 52 of 132 (39.39%) samples were co-infected with PCV2. There were no clinical signs of infection in either multiparous sows or live-born infants. Two strains of PCV3 were indentified from natural stillborn foetuses. Phylogenetic analysis showed the two strains of PCV3 are 96% identical to the known PCV3/Pig/USA (KX778720.1, KX966193.1 and KX898030.1) and closely related to Barbel Circovirus. Further studies of the epidemiology of PCV3 and the co-infection with PCV2 are needed.

Project description:A relatively stable and flexible capsid is critical to the viral life cycle. However, the capsid dynamics and cytosol trafficking of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) during its infectious cycle are poorly understood. Here, we report the structural stability and conformation flexibility of PCV2 virions by genome labeling and the use of three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the native capsid of PCV2. Genome labeling showed that the infectivity of the PCV2 virion was not affected by conjugation with deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine (EdC). Heat stability experiments indicated that PCV2 capsids started to disassemble at 65°C, causing binding incompetence for all antibodies, and the viral genome was released without capsid disassembly upon heating at 60°C. Antibody binding experiments with PCV2 showed that residues 186 to 192 were concealed in the early endosomes of epithelial PK-15 and monocytic 3D4/31 cells with or without chloroquine treatment and then exposed in PK-15 cytosol and the 3D4/31 nucleus. Viral propagation and localization experiments showed that PCV2 replication and cytosol trafficking were not significantly affected by microtubule depolymerization in monocytic 3D4/31 cells treated with nocodazole. These findings demonstrated that nuclear targeting of viral capsids involved conformational changes, the PCV2 genome was released from the assembled capsid, and the transit of PCV2 particles was independent of microtubules in 3D4/31 cells.IMPORTANCE Circovirus is the smallest virus known to replicate autonomously. Knowledge of viral genome release may provide understanding of viral replication and a method to artificially inactivate viral particles. Currently, little is known about the release model of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). Here, we report the release of the PCV2 genome from assembled capsid and the intracellular trafficking of infectious PCV2 by alterations in the capsid conformation. Knowledge of PCV2 capsid stability and dynamics is essential to understanding its infectious cycle and lays the foundation for discovering powerful targets for therapeutic and prophylactic intervention.
