Spring viraemia of carp virus infection induces hypoxia response in zebrafish by stabilizing hif1α
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The hypoxia signaling pathway controls hypoxia adaptation and tolerance of organisms, which is regulated by multiple mechanisms. Viral infection elicits various pathophysiological responses in the host. However, whether viral infection can affect the hypoxia response is still largely unknown. In this study, we found that Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) infection in zebrafish caused symptoms similar to those in zebrafish under hypoxic conditions. Further assays indicated that SVCV infection activated the hypoxia signaling pathway in zebrafish. In addition, SVCV infection caused increased glycolysis and ROS levels in cells. Mechanistically, SVCV-G protein interacted with hif1α-a/b and attenuated their K48-linked polyubiquitination, leading to their stabilization and subsequent enhancement of target gene expression. Moreover, treatment with the HIF1α-specific inhibitor PX478 enhanced the antiviral ability against SVCV infection in zebrafish and zebrafish cells. This study reveals a relationship between SVCV infection and the hypoxia signaling pathway in fish, and provides a strategy for reducing the damage of viral disease in the aquaculture industry.
