OASL Triggered by Novel Goose Astrovirus via ORF2 Restricts Its Replication.

ABSTRACT: Although astroviruses causes enteric diseases and encephalitis in humans and nephritis and hepatitis in poultry, astrovirus infection is thought to be self-limiting. However, little is known about its molecular mechanism. In this study, we found that a novel goose astrovirus (GAstV), GAstV-GD, and its open reading frame 2 (ORF2) could efficiently activate the innate immune response and induce a high level of OASL in vitro and in vivo The truncation assay for ORF2 further revealed that the P2 domain of ORF2 contributed to stimulating OASL, whereas the acidic C terminus of ORF2 attenuated such activation. Moreover, the overexpression and knockdown of OASL could efficiently restrict and promote the viral replication of GAstV-GD, respectively. Our data not only give novel insights for elucidating self-limiting infection by astrovirus but also provide virus and host targets for fighting against astroviruses.IMPORTANCE Astroviruses cause gastroenteritis and encephalitis in human, and nephritis, hepatitis, and gout disease in poultry. However, the host immune response activated by astrovirus is mostly unknown. Here, we found that a novel goose astrovirus, GAstV-GD, and its ORF2 protein could efficiently induce a high level of OASL in vitro and in vivo, which could feed back to restrict the replication of GAstV-GD, revealing novel innate molecules triggered by astroviruses and highlighting that the ORF2 of GAstV-GD and OASL can be potential antiviral targets for astroviruses.

Pathogenicity of novel goose-origin astrovirus causing gout in goslings.

Project description:BackgroundA novel goose-origin astrovirus (GoAstV) has broken out across China in recent years, causing gout in goslings with a mortality rate of around 50%. However, our understanding of the dynamic distribution, tissue tropism and pathogenesis of GoAstV is incomplete. In order to assess its pathogenicity, one-day-old goslings were inoculated separately with GoAstV via oral and subcutaneous injection routes.ResultsClinical symptoms, gross and microscopic lesions, blood biochemical parameters and viral loads were detected and recorded for 20?days after infection. Typical gout was observed in experimental goslings. GoAstV can be replicated in tissues and cause pathological damage, especially in the kidney, liver, heart and spleen. Virus-specific genomic RNA was detected in blood, cloacal swabs and all representative tissues, and virus shedding was detected up to 20?days after inoculation, suggesting that GoAstV has a wide tissue tropism and spread systematically after inoculation. The viral copy numbers examined in kidney were the highest, followed by spleen and liver.ConclusionThis experiment determined the accurate value of viral loads and biochemical indicators of GoAstV-induced goslings. These findings increase our understanding of the pathogenicity of GoAstV in goslings and provide more reference for future research.

An emerging novel goose astrovirus associated with gosling gout disease, China.

Project description:Since the first isolation from human, astroviruses have been detected in many species. Wide host range and occasional cross-transmission of astrovirus pose a risk for zoonotic infection. Here, novel astroviruses were identified from goslings with recent epidemic gout disease in China. A virus, designated as GD, was efficiently isolated from a diseased gosling using LMH cells. Genome of GD amplified using 5' and 3' RACE was 7183nt in full length. Sequence analysis revealed the genome of GD was <60.8% homology with others deposited in Genbank. Moreover, GD could be neutralized by goose convalescent sera, and the gout associated symptom in goslings could be reproduced by GD infection. Our data demonstrated the goose astrovirus could be one of the causative agents of the ongoing gosling gout disease in China. The identification of the goose astrovirus not only diversified the astrovirus species, but also broadened the disease patterns caused by astroviruses.

Novel goose-origin astrovirus infection in geese: the effect of age at infection.

Project description:Since 2017, a serious infectious disease characterized by visceral gout has emerged in China's main goose-producing regions. The disease has caused huge economic losses to China's goose industry. In our previous study, we determined that the pathogen causing gout in goslings is a novel goose-origin astrovirus, designated as AStV/SDPY/Goose/1116/17 (AStV-SDPY) strain. To investigate the effect of host age on the outcome of novel goose-origin astrovirus infection, 200 1-day-old healthy goslings were selected to be experimentally infected at 1, 5, 15, 25, and 35 D of age. It was shown in experimental infection that the AStV-SDPY strain was highly pathogenic in goslings aged 1 to 15 D, causing growth repression, severe visceral urate deposition, and even death, whereas goslings infected at 25 and 35 D of age showed mild symptoms. Histopathologic examination indicated that lesions occurred mainly in the kidney and liver of infected goslings, which is correlated to the severity of clinical signs and gross lesions. Viral RNA was detected in all representative tissues, and virus shedding was detected continuously within 15 D after inoculation. Higher viral copy number, especially in vital organs such as the liver and kidney, was developed in the goslings infected at 1 to 15 D of age than older geese. In addition, clinical chemistry and inflammatory cytokines showed that younger geese are more sensitive to AStV infection. Overall, our study demonstrates that the pathogenicity of AStV-SDPY in goslings is partly associated with the age of infection, laying a foundation for further study of the pathogenic mechanism of this virus.

A quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for detecting a novel goose astrovirus.

Project description:In November 2017, a severe infectious disease that devastated the major goose-producing regions in China was found to be caused by a novel goose astrovirus (N-AstV). The objective of this study was to develop a quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) assay for the rapid diagnosis of N-AstV characterized with gout, hemorrhage, and swellings of the kidneys. A set of 4 specific primers, 2 inner and 2 outer primers, targeting the ORF1a gene of N-AstV were designed for the assay which could be completed within 60 min at 65°C in a water bath or on a real-time PCR instrument for quantitative analysis. The qLAMP assay showed a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1 × 101 copies of the target DNA/μL. There were no cross-reactions with other viruses, and the reproducibility of the assay was confirmed in intrasensitivity and intersensitivity assay tests with variability ranging from 0.61 to 2.21%. The results indicated that the qLAMP assay for N-AstV was a simple, accurate, rapid, sensitive, and specific, especially useful for field detection.

Proteolytic processing of a serotype 8 human astrovirus ORF2 polyprotein.

Project description:Astroviruses require the proteolytic cleavage of the capsid protein to infect the host cell. Here we describe the processing pathway of the primary translation product of the structural polyprotein (ORF2) encoded by a human astrovirus serotype 8 (strain Yuc8). The primary translation product of ORF2 is of approximately 90 kDa, which is subsequently cleaved to yield a 70-kDa protein (VP70) which is assembled into the viral particles. Limited trypsin treatment of purified particles containing VP70 results in the generation of polypeptides VP41 and VP28, which are then further processed to proteins of 38.5, 35, and 34 kDa and 27, 26, and 25 kDa, respectively. VP34, VP27 and VP25 are the predominant proteins in fully cleaved virions, which correlate with the highest level of infectivity. Processing of the VP41 protein to yield VP38.5 to VP34 polypeptides occurred at its carboxy terminus, as suggested by immunoblot analysis using hyperimmune sera to different regions of the ORF2, while processing of VP28 to generate VP27 and VP25 occurred at its carboxy and amino terminus, respectively, as determined by immunoblot, as well as by N-terminal sequencing of those products. Based on these data, the processing pathway for the 90-kDa primary product of astrovirus Yuc8 ORF2 is presented.

Adaptive immunity restricts replication of novel murine astroviruses.

Project description:The mechanisms of astrovirus pathogenesis are largely unknown, in part due to a lack of a small-animal model of disease. Using shotgun sequencing and a custom analysis pipeline, we identified two novel astroviruses capable of infecting research mice, murine astrovirus (MuAstV) STL1 and STL2. Subsequent analysis revealed the presence of at least two additional viruses (MuAstV STL3 and STL4), suggestive of a diverse population of murine astroviruses in research mice. Complete genomic characterization and subsequent phylogenetic analysis showed that MuAstV STL1 to STL4 are members of the mamastrovirus genus and are likely members of a new mamastrovirus genogroup. Using Rag1(-/-) mice deficient in B and T cells, we demonstrate that adaptive immunity is required to control MuAstV infection. Furthermore, using Stat1(-/-) mice deficient in innate signaling, we demonstrate a role for the innate immune response in the control of MuAstV replication. Our results demonstrate that MuAstV STL permits the study of the mechanisms of astrovirus infection and host-pathogen interactions in a genetically manipulable small-animal model. Finally, we detected MuAstV in commercially available mice, suggesting that these viruses may be present in academic and commercial research mouse facilities, with possible implications for interpretation of data generated in current mouse models of disease.

Positive Feedback Loop of Long Noncoding RNA OASL-IT1 and Innate Immune Response Restricts the Replication of Zika Virus in Epithelial A549 Cells.

Project description:Expression of host noncoding RNAs and coding mRNAs is significantly altered by viral infection. In the current study, we screened the transcriptional profile of human lung epithelial A549 cells infected with Zika virus (ZIKV) by microarray assay. Seventy-nine long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and 140 mRNAs were differentially expressed (DE). The bioinformatics analysis revealed that the mRNAs adjacent to the DE lncRNAs were closely related to the host responses to viral infection. We selected 7 lncRNAs from the top 50 hits for validation. The quantitative real-time PCR data confirmed that expression of selected lncRNAs was induced by ZIKV infection. Moreover, the expression of 7 lncRNAs was induced by infection of dengue virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, or vesicular stomatitis virus, or by treatment of poly(I:C) and IFN-β. Furthermore, loss of innate immune adaptor IPS-1 or receptor IFNAR1 resulted in lower induction levels of several lncRNAs by ZIKV. Overexpression of 3 lncRNAs (RPL27-OT1, OASL-IT1, and REC8-OT3) reduced the virus yields of ZIKV. Knockout of OASL-IT1 significantly enhanced ZIKV replication. In OASL-IT1 knockout cells, the levels of interferons (IFNs) and the activation of 3 innate immune signaling pathways triggered by ZIKV were dramatically reduced. Collectively, our work found a positive feedback loop in the IFN system, in which IFNs and OASL-IT1 regulate each other, thereby promoting establishment of antiviral defense.

Goose astrovirus infection affects uric acid production and excretion in goslings.

Project description:In 2018, a new goose astrovirus (GAstrV) was reported in China, which causes 2 to 20% deaths in 4- to 16-day-old goslings causing great damages to the livestock industry. Gout is the typical feature of GAstrV infection in goslings. However, the mechanism of gout formation remains unclear. In the present study, 2-day-old goslings were infected intramuscularly with GAstrV for 14 D. One quarter of the infected goslings died, and typical gout pathological changes were found in the dead infected goslings. Pathological changes were observed in the morphology of the kidney and liver, such as degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Accordingly, a high virus load was found in both organs. The serum level of uric acid in the inoculated goslings was higher, whereas no differences were found in levels of creatinine, calcium, and phosphorus. Moreover, the xanthine dehydrogenase (XOD) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities and the mRNA levels of xanthine dehydrogenase, adenosine deaminase, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase, and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 in livers increased, wheres the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 mRNA level and Na-K-ATPase activity in the kidneys decreased. These results showed that GAstrV infection could cause lesions on the liver and kidney and then increase the expression or activity of enzymes related to uric acid production in the liver and decrease renal excretion function, which contribute to hyperuricemia and gout formation.

Isolation and characterization of a duck-origin goose astrovirus in China.

Project description:In 2019, a new type of infectious disease characterized with haemorrhage and swellings of kidneys, occurred on commercial duck farms in Shandong province, China. Our systematic investigation led to the isolation of an astrovirus, designated AstV-SDTA strain and was isolated from a diseased duckling using LMH cells. Similar clinical symptoms were reproduced by experimental infection using the AstV-SDTA strain. The complete genome sequencing characterization of AstV-SDTA was conducted using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique on Illumina HiSeq platform, and used polymerase chain reaction method to verify the NGS results for the obtained whole sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that AstV-SDTA strain belongs to a novel goose astrovirus (GoAstV) branch of avian astroviruses, and the nucleotide homology based on the complete genome sequences among AstV-SDTA and other GoAstV strains deposited in Genbank was 97.2-98.8%. Taken together, these results suggest that the cross-species transmission of novel GoAstV between domestic waterfowl is possible. Further surveillance of novel GoAstV in poultry are needed in order to gain a better understanding of both the molecular and evolutionary characteristics of novel GoAstV.
