Establishment of inflammatory model induced by Pseudorabies virus infection in mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection leads to high mortality in swine. Despite extensive efforts, effective treatments against PRV infection are limited. Furthermore, the inflammatory response induced by PRV strain GXLB-2013 is unclear.

Objectives

Our study aimed to investigate the inflammatory response induced by PRV strain GXLB-2013, establish an inflammation model to elucidate the pathogenesis of PRV infection further, and develop effective drugs against PRV infection.

Methods

Kunming mice were infected intramuscularly with medium, LPS, and different doses of PRV-GXLB-2013. Viral spread and histopathological damage to brain, spleen, and lung were determined at 7 days post-infection (dpi). Immune organ indices, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), and inflammatory cytokines, as well as levels of activity of COX-2 and iNOS were determined at 4, 7, and 14 dpi.

Results

At 10⁵-10⁶ TCID₅₀ PRV produced obviously neurological symptoms and 100% mortality in mice. Viral antigens were detectable in kidney, heart, lung, liver, spleen, and brain. In addition, inflammatory injuries were apparent in brain, spleen, and lung of PRV-infected mice. Moreover, PRV induced increases in immune organ indices, ROS and NO levels, activity of COX-2 and iNOS, and the content of key pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ and MCP-1. Among the tested doses, 10² TCID₅₀ of PRV produced a significant inflammatory mediator increase.

Conclusions

An inflammatory model induced by PRV infection was established in mice, and 10² TCID₅₀ PRV was considered as the best concentration for the establishment of the model.

A Nectin1 Mutant Mouse Model Is Resistant to Pseudorabies Virus Infection.

Project description:The present study generated nectin1-mutant mice with single amino acid substitution and tested the anti-pseudorabies virus (PRV) ability of the mutant mice, with the aim to establish a model for PRV-resistant livestock. A phenylalanine to alanine transition at position 129 (F129A) of nectin1 was introduced into the mouse genome to generate nectin1 (F129A) mutant mice. The mutant mice were infected with a field-isolated highly virulent PRV strain by subcutaneous injection of virus. We found that the homozygous mutant mice had significantly alleviated disease manifestations and decreased death rate and viral loading in serum and tissue compared with heterozygous mutant and wild-type mice. In addition to disease resistance, the homozygous mutant mice showed a defect in eye development, indicating the side effect on animals by only one amino acid substitution in nectin1. Results demonstrate that gene modification in nectin1 is an effective approach to confer PRV resistance on animals, but the mutagenesis pattern requires further investigation to increase viral resistance without negative effect on animal development.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification establishment for detection of pseudorabies virus.

Project description:A rapid, convenient and reliable pseudorabies virus (PRV) detection system was developed by using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method. Six special primers were designed successfully based on the PRV DNA-binding protein (DBP) gene. The assay was optimized to amplify PRV DNA by incubation at 63 degrees C for 1h. The LAMP products had a ladder-like pattern of bands from 188 bp when electrophoresed on an agarose gel and its specificity was confirmed by digestion with Hinc II enzyme. Two naked-eye detection methods were developed for use in the field. The detection limit of the LAMP assay was found to be 10 fg DNA sample which was 100-1,000-fold higher than that of PCR. By using DNA (or cDNA) samples extracted from three different PRV strains and six other viruses known to be related genetically to PRV or to cause similar clinical signals in pig, the system was identified to amplify only the PRV DNA. A comparison between the LAMP and PCR assay using five clinical samples showed good correlation.

Establishment of a Challenge Model for Sheeppox Virus Infection.

Project description:Sheeppox virus (SPPV) together with goatpox virus and lumpy skin disease virus form the genus Capripoxvirus of the Poxviridae family. Due to their great economic importance and major impact on livelihood of small-scale farmers, OIE guidelines classify capripox viruses as notifiable diseases. In the present study, we examined pathogenesis of an Indian SPPV isolate and an Egyptian SPPV isolate in sheep. Three different infection routes were tested: (i) intravenous infection, (ii) intranasal infection and (iii) contact transmission between infected and naïve sheep. Clinical course, viremia and viral shedding as well as seroconversion were analyzed in order to establish a challenge model for SPPV infections that can be used in future vaccine studies. Next to in vivo characterization, both SPPV strains underwent next- and third-generation sequencing to obtain high quality full-length genomes for genetic characterization and comparison to already published SPPV sequences.

Establishment of an In Vitro Model of Pseudorabies Virus Latency and Reactivation and Identification of Key Viral Latency-Associated Genes.

Project description:Alphaherpesviruses infect humans and most animals. They can cause severe morbidity and mortality. The pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus that can infect most mammals. The PRV persists in the host by establishing a latent infection, and stressful stimuli can induce the latent viruses to reactivate and cause recurrent diseases. The current strategies of antiviral drug therapy and vaccine immunization are ineffective in eliminating these viruses from the infected host. Moreover, overspecialized and complex models are also a major obstacle to the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the latency and reactivation of the PRV. Here, we present a streamlined model of the latent infection and reactivation of the PRV. A latent infection established in N2a cells infected with the PRV at a low multiplicity of infection (MOI) and maintained at 42 °C. The latent PRV was reactivated when the infected cells were transferred to 37 °C for 12 to 72 h. When the above process was repeated with a UL54-deleted PRV mutant, it was observed that the UL54 deletion did not affect viral latency. However, viral reactivation was limited and delayed. This study establishes a powerful and streamlined model to simulate PRV latency and reveals the potential role of temperature in PRV reactivation and disease. Meanwhile, the key role of the early gene UL54 in the latency and reactivation of PRV was initially elucidated.

Successful Establishment of Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Pregnant BALB/c Mice.

Project description:Worldwide, the Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the main pathogen of acute viral hepatitis, with an extremely high mortality in pregnant women. However, the pathogenesis of HEV infection in pregnant women remains largely unknown. We established an HEV-infected pregnant mice animal model to explore the adverse pregnancy outcomes of HEV infection. Mice were infected with HEV in their early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. HEV RNA was detected in the tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, colon, uterus and placenta) of pregnant mice. HEV antigens were also detected in these tissues of HEV-infected pregnant mice. Miscarriages (7/8, 87.5%) occurred in pregnant mice infected with HEV in the middle of pregnancy. Th1-biased immune status was found in these aborted mice. Vertical transmission was confirmed by HEV replication in the uterus and placenta, as well as in the positive HEV RNA and HEV antigen positive in fetal livers. The successful establishment of HEV infection in pregnant mice is beneficial for further study of HEV pathogenesis, especially the adverse pregnancy outcomes caused by HEV infection.

Vaccine resistant pseudorabies virus causes mink infection in China.

Project description:BackgroundPseudorabies, a highly contagious infectious disease of swine is caused by pseudorabies virus (PRV). PRV can cause fatal infection in other animal species.ResultsWe report a deadly outbreak of pseudorabies that killed 87.2% (3522/4028) minks in a farm in 2014 in Shandong Province, China. PRV was isolated by using Vero cell culture and detected in mink samples by PCR from minks died during the outbreak. Epidemiological analysis indicated that 5.8% of minks (33/566) were PCR positive to PRV in Shandong Province. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the PRV strains isolated from minks in this study were in the same clade with the Chinese porcine PRV isolates, which are resistant to the PRV vaccine.ConclusionsWe demonstrated that pseudorabies virus caused an outbreak of minks in a farm in Shandong Province of China and the virus has a very high infection rate in minks in Shandong Province, which is a challenge for the fur industry in China.

Establishment of a novel ER-stress induced myopia model in mice.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have indicated a strong correlation between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and myopia and that eyedrops containing the ER stress inducer tunicamycin (Tm) can induce myopic changes in C57BL/6 J mice. Therefore, this study aimed to create a new myopia model using Tm eyedrops and to explore the mechanism of ER stress-mediated myopia development.MethodsThree-week-old C57BL/6 J mice were treated with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 μg/mL) and/or number of applications (zero, one, three, and seven) of Tm eyedrops. Refraction and axial length (AL) were measured before and one week after Tm treatment. Scleral collagen alterations were evaluated under polarised light after picrosirius red staining. ER stress-related indicators, such as the expression of collagen I and cleaved collagen were detected using Western blotting.ResultsCompared with the control group, mice administered eyedrops with 50 μg/mL Tm only once showed the greatest myopic shifts in refraction and AL elongation and reduced scleral expression of collagen I. Picrosirius red staining showed a lower percentage of bundled collagen in the Tm group. Expression of ER-stress indicators increased in the Tm groups. Furthermore, optimised administration of Tm induced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) expression in the sclera, which plays a major role in collagen degradation.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated that ER stress in the sclera is involved in myopia progression. Tm eyedrops induced myopic changes, loosening of the scleral collagen and decreased expression of collagen I. This process may be associated with ER stress in the sclera, which upregulates the expression of MMP2 leading to collagen degradation.
