Genomic Rearrangement and Recombination of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 and Porcine Circovirus-Like Virus P1 in China

ABSTRACT: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) belongs to the genus Circovirus of the family Circoviridae, and it has been associated with porcine circovirus (associated) disease (PCVD or PCVAD) in pigs. PCVAD is the generic term for a series of disease syndromes that have caused economic losses to the pig industry worldwide. Since the discovery of PCV2 in the late 1990s, the virus has continued to evolve, and novel genotypes have continued to appear. Moreover, there has been recombination between different genotypes of PCV2. This review attempts to illustrate some progress concerning PCV2 in genome rearrangement and genomic recombination with non-PCV2-related nucleic acids, particularly focusing on the porcine circovirus-like virus P1 formed by the recombination of PCV2. The presence of rearranged PCV2 genomes can be demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro, and these subviral molecules ranged from 358 to 1,136 bp. Depending on whether it has the ability to encode a protein, the agents formed by PCV2 recombination can be divided into two categories: porcine circovirus-like viruses and porcine circovirus-like mini agents. We mainly discuss the porcine circovirus-like virus P1 regarding genomic characterization, etiology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis. Further research needs to be conducted on the pathogenicity of other porcine circovirus-like viruses and porcine circovirus-like mini agents and the effects of their interactions with PCV2, especially for the porcine circovirus-like mini agents that do not have protein-coding functions in the genome.

First detection and complete genome analysis of porcine circovirus-like virus P1 and porcine circovirus-2 in yak in China.

Project description:Porcine circovirus-like virus P1, like porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), is a potential pathogen of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in swine. Yaks are a valuable species and an iconic symbol of the Tibet Plateau which is the highest and largest plateau in the world. In this study, a total of 105 yak diarrheal samples, collected from 13 farms in Linzhi in the Tibet Plateau from January 2019 to December 2021, that were screened for P1 and PCV2 by polymerase chain reaction, 10.48% (n = 11) were positive for P1, 4.76% (n = 5) for PCV2, and 5.71% (n = 6) were positive for coinfection of P1 and PCV2. In addition, the whole genomes of eight P1 strains and eight PCV2 strains were sequenced. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of P1 ORF1 and PCV2 ORF2 gene revealed that ON012566 had one unique amino acid mutation at residues 137 (T to P). This mutation has important implication for the study of virus virulence, tissue tropism, and immune response. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the yak-origin P1 strains in this study with cattle-origin P1 reference strains were grouped into one cluster. The yak-origin PCV2 (ON012566) and a buffalo-origin PCV2 (KM116514) reference strain clustered in the same branch in the PCV2b regions. Meanwhile, the remaining PCV2 strains and buffalo-origin PCV2 reference strain (ON012565) clustered in the PCV2d regions. To summarize, to our knowledge, this is the first report on the molecular prevalence and genome characteristics of P1 and PCV2 in yaks in the world and will contribute to further study of the molecular epidemiology, source, and evolution of P1 and PCV2 strains.

Transcriptional analysis of porcine circovirus-like virus P1.

Project description:BackgroundRecently identified porcine circovirus-like virus P1 has the smallest DNA viral genome. In this study, we identified the viral genes and their corresponding mRNA transcripts.ResultsThe RNAs of P1, synthesized in porcine kidney cells, were examined with northern blotting and PCR analyses. Eight virus-specific RNAs were detected. Four mRNAs (open reading frames (ORFs) 1, 2, 4, and 5) are encoded by the viral (-) strand and four (ORFs 3, 6, 7, and 8) are encoded by the viral (+) strand. All proteins encoded by the ORFs of the P1 virus are less than 50 amino acids in length, except that encoded by ORF1 (113 amino acids).ConclusionsWe show a very complex viral transcription pattern in P1-infected cells.

Genomic analysis of porcine circovirus type 2 from southern China.

Project description:BackgroundPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is recognized as virulent porcine pathogen and has been linked to porcine circovirus diseases (PCVD). However, there remain many unknowns regarding the spread and epidemic growth of PCV2.MethodsTo assess the genetic diversity of PCV2 in the southern China, a total of 92 sequences of PCV2 strains from this region were retrieved from GenBank and were subjected to amino acid variation and phylogenetic analyses together with 28 representative sequences, based on the sequence of the ORF2 gene, from different swine-producing countries.ResultsAll 92 PCV2 strains shared between 93.7% and 100% sequence similarity and could be divided into four genotypes (PCV2a, PCV2b, PCV2d and PCV2h), of which PCV2d had surpassed PCV2b and became the most prevalent PCV2 genotype in this region. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of the capsid protein revealed that the obtained PCV2 strains possess two major heterogenic regions/hypervariable regions (positions 52-68 and 185-191), which were within or close to the epitopic regions in the capsid (Cap) protein. Meanwhile, the 92 PCV2 sequences also show evidence of at least five unique recombination events.ConclusionThe data in this study indicate that the PCV2 strains in the southern China are undergoing constant genetic variation and that the predominant strain and its antigenic epitopes in this area have been gradually changing in recent years.

Nearly 20 Years of Genetic Diversity and Evolution of Porcine Circovirus-like Virus P1 from China.

Project description:Porcine circovirus-like virus P1 can infect many kinds of animals and mainly causes postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. In China, the genetic diversity, variation, and evolutionary processes of this virus have not been described yet. To improve our knowledge of its genetic diversity, evolution, and gene flow, we performed a bioinformatics analysis using the available nucleotide sequences of the P1 virus; among them, 12 nucleotide sequences were from ten pig farms in Jiangsu Province in this epidemiological survey, and 84 sequences were downloaded from GenBank. The P1 sequences showed a rich composition of AT nucleotides. Analyses of the complete genomic sequences were polymorphic and revealed high haplotype (gene) diversity and nucleotide diversity. A phylogenetic analysis based on the NJ method showed that all P1 virus sequences formed two distinct groups: A and B. High genetic differentiation was observed between strains from groups A and B. The codon usage pattern of P1 was affected by dinucleotide compositions. Dinucleotide UU/CC was overrepresented, and dinucleotide CG was underrepresented. The mean evolutionary rate of the P1 virus was estimated to be 3.64 × 10-4 nucleotide substitutions per site per year (subs/site/year). The neutrality tests showed negative values. The purifying selection and recombination events may play a major driving role in generating the genetic diversity of the P1 population. The information from this research may be helpful to obtain new insights into the evolution of P1.

Interaction of porcine circovirus-like virus P1 capsid protein with host proteins.

Project description:BackgroundPorcine circovirus-like virus P1 is a relatively new kind of virus that is closely related to the post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, congenital tremors, and abortions in swine. The molecular mechanisms of P1 virus infection and pathogenesis are fully unknown. To analyze P1 and its host interactions, we used a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay to identify cellular proteins interacting with the Cap of the P1 virus. In this study, the Cap of the P1 virus exhibited no self-activation and toxicity to yeast cells and was used as bait to screen the Y2H library prepared from the pancreas tissue.ResultsFive cellular proteins (EEP, Ral GDS, Bcl-2-L-12, CPS1, and one not identified) were found to interact with P1 Cap. The interaction between Cap and Ral GDS was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation.ConclusionsOur data are likely to support the future investigation of the underlying mechanism of P1 infection and pathogenesis.

Development of real-time PCR assay for detection of porcine circovirus-like virus P1 in domestic pigs in China.

Project description:BackgroundThe porcine circovirus-like agent P1 is a newly discovered DNA virus with a single-stranded circular genome that is highly homologous to that of porcine circovirus type 2. P1 infection can cause symptoms resembling postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. This study aims to develop a rapid, sensitive and specific method to detect P1.ResultsA pair of primers was designed and used to amplify a 119 bp DNA fragment to generate a recombinant plasmid which was served as the standard. A SYBR I qPCR protocol was established using the P1 recombinant plasmid standard and the sensitivity, specificity and stability of this method was analyzed. The results demonstrate a strong correlation with P1 recombinant plasmid titers when virus DNA copy numbers fall in between 10(0) ~ 10(9) copies/μL. This method doesn't detect pseudo rabies, porcine parvovirus or porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; moreover it can distinguish porcine circovirus type 2 from P1 by melting temperature analysis. Coefficient of variation for each batch of reaction is less than 5%. The serum virus titers of P1 positive in this study were measured by this protocol to be 10(3) to 10(7) copies/mL.ConclusionsThe established qPCR is sensitive, specific, and reliable, which could be a useful tool when applied to quantification of P1 in a variety of samples from infected pigs.

An epidemiological investigation of porcine circovirus type 2 and porcine circovirus type 3 infections in Tianjin, North China.

Project description:Novel porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3), first identified in the United States, has been detected in many other countries. Porcine circovirus is associated with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, reproductive failure, congenital tremors, and other clinical symptoms. In this study, we established a double polymerase chain reaction assay for detecting both porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and PCV3. This is the first study to detect and characterize the PCV3 genome in the Tianjin region of North China. We collected a total of 169 tissue samples from seven farms between 2016 and 2018. The PCV3-positive rate of all tissue samples was 37.3% (63/169) and the rate of PCV2 and PCV3 coinfection was 14.8% (25/169). PCV2 and PCV3 coinfections with more serious clinical symptoms were found in only three farms. We sequenced three PCV3 strains selected from tissue samples that were positively identified. The complete genome sequences of the three strains shared 97.6-99.4% nucleotide identities with the PCV3 strains in GenBank. Our results showed the extent of PCV3's spread in Tianjin, and the need to further study PCV3's pathobiology, epidemiology, isolation, and coinfection.

Genomic analysis of porcine circovirus type-2 isolates in Alberta pigs demonstrating clinical porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD).

Project description:Nineteen pigs with clinical signs of porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVAD) on 5 Alberta pig farms were examined pathologically, including gross pathology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for porcine circovirus type-2 (PCV-2) and sequence analysis was performed on tissue samples of 12 animals. Results showed that new strains of porcine circovirus type-2 genogroup b were present in most pigs that were positive for PCV-2. Furthermore, a mixed infection with PCV-2a and PCV-2b occurred in the liver and lungs of 1 pig. Comparison of whole genome sequences representing known viruses and the newly discovered Alberta viruses revealed mutations distributed over the entire genome of PCV-2; however, sequences encoding for immunodominant epitopes of PCV-2 appear to be unaffected by these mutations.
