Purified Astragalus Polysaccharide Combined with Inactivated Vaccine Markedly Prevent Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis Virus Infection in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

ABSTRACT: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is experiencing a catastrophic pandemic. In recent years, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) has spread nationwide, resulting in significant mortality. Currently, there are no available treatments or vaccines for IHNV in China. Here, Astragalus extract was purified and characterized. Then, we developed an inactivated IHNV vaccine with purified Astragalus polysaccharide (P-APS) as an adjuvant. Safety assays showed that IHNV was successfully inactivated. After a serious IHNV challenge, the cumulative mortality rates were 76.0%, 38.0% and 22.08% in control, vaccine and P-APS+vaccine group, respectively. P-APS+vaccine was effective in reducing head kidney damage and apoptosis after IHNV challenge by histopathological and TUNEL analyses. P-APS+vaccine group showed better results in enhancing specific antibodies (IgM) and immune enzyme activities (C3, LZM, GOT and GPT). RNA-seq revealed that many immune-related pathways were significantly enriched. TLR2, TLR7, C3, IFN-γ, IgM, MHC1, MHC2, MX1, and VIG1 identified as core genes based on RNA-seq and PPI networks. Mechanistic investigations showed that the P-APS+vaccine activates the immune pathway by upregulating the expression of these genes. P-ASP+vaccine induced effective innate and adaptive immune responses that were stronger than single vaccines after vaccination and IHNV challenged. Our findings will provide a promising vaccine candidate against IHNV.

Project description:The Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosic Virus (IHNV) DNA vaccine is based on the viral glycoprotein gene (G gene) and induces a non-specific anti-viral immune response and long-term specific immunity against IHNV in salmonid fishes. This study characterized gene expression responses associated with the early anti-viral response. Homozygous rainbow trout were injected intra-muscularly (I.M.) with vector DNA or the IHNV DNA vaccine. Gene expression at the I.M. site was evaluated using a 16,000 feature salmon cDNA microarray. Eighty different transcripts were significantly modulated in the vector DNA group while 910 transcripts were modulated in the IHNV DNA vaccinated group relative to control group. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR was used to examine expression of selected genes at the I.M. site and in other secondary tissues. In the localized response (I.M. site), the magnitudes of gene expression changes were higher in the vaccinate group relative to the vector DNA group for the majority of genes analyzed. At secondary systemic sites (e.g. gill, kidney and spleen) evaluated with RT-PCR of specific genes, the main difference was the up-regulation of the type I IFN-related genes in only the IHNV DNA vaccinated group. Keywords: disease vaccine response Gene expression at the site of I.M injection was evaluated 7 days post-injection in clonal rainbow trout. Gene expression was compared across three treatments, with replicate clonal rainbow trout individuals (Hot Creek strain) within each treatment. Treatments included injection with 1X PBS (control group), plasmid vector only (without IHNV G gene; hereafter referred to as vector group), and the pIHNV vaccine (vaccine group). Three clonal individuals from the control, three individuals from the vector group, and four individuals from the vaccine group were labeled with Cy3 and used for individual hybridizations to ten slides, comparing hybridization of each individual to a major reference RNA pool. The major reference pool consisted of three unhandled clonal rainbow trout and constituted a pool of RNA from the anterior kidney, spleen, liver and muscle and was labelled with Cy5. Total RNA was extracted from samples, amplified, and hybridized to 16,000 feature Atlantic salmon cDNA arrays developed by the Genomic Research for Atlantic Salmon project. Differential expression was compared among control, vector, and vaccine groups.
