Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) infection can cause significant losses to the poultry industry. Disease control has traditionally been attempted mainly through vaccination. However, the increase in clinical outbreaks in the last decades demonstrated the poor effectiveness of current vaccination approaches. The present study reconstructs the evolution and molecular epidemiology of different ARV genotypes using a phylodynamic approach, benefiting from a collection of more than one thousand sigma C (σC) sequences sampled over time at a worldwide level. ARVs' origin was estimated to occur several centuries ago, largely predating the first clinical reports. The origins of all genotypes were inferred at least one century ago, and their emergence and rise reflect the intensification of the poultry industry. The introduction of vaccinations had only limited and transitory effects on viral circulation and further expansion was observed, particularly after the 1990s, likely because of the limited immunity and the suboptimal and patchy vaccination application. In parallel, strong selective pressures acted with different strengths and directionalities among genotypes, leading to the emergence of new variants. While preventing the spread of new variants with different phenotypic features would be pivotal, a phylogeographic analysis revealed an intricate network of viral migrations occurring even over long distances and reflecting well-established socio-economic relationships.

Abstract
Infection by the novel duck reovirus (NDRV) in ducklings causes high mortality, which leads to substantial economic losses in the duck industry in China. To date, no commercial vaccine is available for this disease. In this study, linear B cell epitopes of the σB protein of the NDRV were predicted and recombinant multiple linear B cell epitopes (MLBEs) were constructed through linkers. The recombinant MLBEs were then expressed and purified. One-day-old Muscovy ducklings were immunized with different doses of MLBEs and challenged with 5 × 104 ELD50 of the virulent CHY strain of NDRV 14 days after immunization. The ducklings vaccinated with 20 and 40 μg of MLBE performed no clinical signs or gross or histopathological lesions, indicating 100% protection against infection. The viral load in the liver and spleens of these birds was significantly lower than that in the control group. Additionally, these ducklings exhibited positive seroconversion at 7 days after vaccination on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. These results indicate that MLBE of σB could be used as a candidate for developing vaccines against NDRV infection.

Abstract
Since 2021, a novel strain of goose reovirus (GRV) has emerged within the goose farming industry in Guangdong province, China. This particular viral variant is distinguished by the presence of white necrotic foci primarily localized in the liver and spleen, leading to substantial economic losses for the poultry industry. However, the etiology, prevalence and genomic characteristics of the causative agent have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we conducted an epidemiological inquiry employing suspected GRV samples collected from May 2021 to September 2022. The macroscopic pathological and histopathological lesions associated with GRV-infected clinical specimens were examined. Moreover, we successfully isolated the GRV strain and elucidated the complete genome sequence of the isolate GD21/88. Through phylogenetic and recombination analysis, we unveiled that the GRV strains represent a novel variant resulting from multiple reassortment events. Specifically, the μNS, λC, and σNS genes of GRV were found to have originated from chicken reovirus, while the σA gene of GRV exhibited a higher degree of similarity with a novel duck reovirus. The remaining genes of GRV were traced back to Muscovy duck reovirus. Collectively, our findings underscore the significance of GRV as a pathogenic agent impacting the goose farming industry. The insights gleaned from this study contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology of GRV in Southern China and shed light on the genetic reassortment events exhibited by the virus.

Abstract
To investigate the distribution and genetic variation in four vertically transmitted duck pathogens, including duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV), duck circovirus (DuCV), duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3), and avian reoviruses (ARV), we conducted an epidemiology study using PCR and RT-PCR assays on a duck population. We found that DHBV was the most prevalent virus (69.74%), followed by DuCV (39.48%), and then ARV (19.92%) and DHAV-3 (8.49%). Among the 271 duck samples, two, three or four viruses were detected in the same samples, indicating that the coinfection of vertical transmission agents is common in ducks. The genetic analysis results showed that all four identified DuCV strains belonged to genotype 1, the DHAV-3 strain was closely clustered with previously identified strains from China, and the ARV stain was clustered under genotype 1. These indicate that different viral strains are circulating among the ducks. Our findings will improve the knowledge of the evolution of DuCV, DHAV-3, and ARV, and help choose suitable strains for vaccination.

Abstract
ABSTRACTPoultry production in China has been experiencing a high incidence of broiler arthritis /tenosynovitis caused by avian orthoreovirus (ARV) since 2013. In the spring of 2020 severe arthritis cases from broiler flocks were identified in a large-scale commercial poultry company in Anhui Province, China. Diseased organs from dead birds were sent for diagnosis to our laboratory. ARVs, including seven broiler-isolates and two breeder-isolates, were successfully harvested and sequenced. Interestingly, the genotypes of ARVs isolated from infected chickens were inconsistent between different flocks, or even between different houses on the same flocks. Pathogenicity testing in chicks confirmed that the seven broiler-isolates were pathogenic strains, which could cause arthritis in infected chickens. Subsequently, a total of 89.66% serum samples collected from apparently healthy adult broiler flocks not vaccinated against ARV tested positive for ARV antibodies, suggesting that low and high virulence reovirus strains may be co-circulating in the farm. To this end, we collected dead embryos of unhatched chicken eggs for pathogen tracing, and the two ARV breeder-isolates isolated indicated that vertical transmission from breeders to progeny should not be underestimated for the prevalence of ARV within broiler flocks. The findings have implications for the evidenced-based formulation of prevention and control strategies.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) infections, characterized by severe arthritis, tenosynovitis, pericarditis, and poor weight gain, have become increasingly serious in recent years. The economic impact is significant as it causes growth inhibition and immunosuppression. Some commercial poultry in China have been widely vaccinated with available ARV vaccines; however, infections continue to occur even after vaccination. This study aimed to isolate a novel variant, ARV-SD19/11103, from the joint tissues of infected broiler chickens vaccinated with ARV vaccines in Shandong Province. Genetic evolution analysis of the major protective antigen σC gene in ARVs showed that ARV-SD19/11103 was located in the genotype cluster I but not in the same sub-cluster as the S1133 vaccine strain. The amino acid sequence similarity between SD19/11103 and vaccine strains S1133, 1733, and 2408 was <80%. After analyzing the amino acid sequences of the σC protein, 33 amino acid differences were found between the new variant isolate and the vaccine strains. This novel variant showed obvious pathogenicity in specific pathogen-free chicken embryos and chicks and could cause serious disease in chickens vaccinated with commercially available ARV vaccines. Cross-neutralization experiments further demonstrated a significant antigenic difference between the novel variant and genotype cluster I ARV strains. The novel variant strain isolated in this study provides an important theoretical basis for understanding the prevalence and genetic evolutionary characteristics of ARV variant strains in our country. This study identified the causes of ARVs circulating and emphasizes the needs for developing new vaccines against novel ARV variants.

Abstract
The specifics of cell receptor-modulated avian reovirus (ARV) entry remain unknown. By using a viral overlay protein-binding assay (VOPBA) and an in-gel digestion coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we determined that cell-surface annexin A2 (AnxA2) and adhesion G protein-coupled receptor Latrophilin-2 (ADGRL2) modulate ARV entry. Direct interaction between the ARV σC protein and AnxA2 and ADGRL2 in Vero and DF-1 cells was demonstrated in situ by proximity ligation assays. By using short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to silence the endogenous AnxA2 and ADGRL2 genes, ARV entry could be efficiently blocked. A significant decrease in virus yields and the intracellular specific signal for σC protein was observed in Vero cells preincubated with the specific AnxA2 and ADGRL2 monoclonal antibodies, indicating that AnxA2 and ADGRL2 are involved in modulating ARV entry. Furthermore, we found that cells pretreated with the AnxA2/S100A10 heterotetramer (A2t) inhibitor A2ti-1 suppressed ARV-mediated activation of Src and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), demonstrating that Src and p38 MAPK serve as downstream molecules of cell-surface AnxA2 signaling. Our results reveal that suppression of cell-surface AnxA2 with the A2ti-1 inhibitor increased Csk-Cbp interaction, suggesting that ARV entry suppresses Cbp-mediated relocation of Csk to the membrane, thereby activating Src. Furthermore, reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed that σC can interact with signaling molecules, lipid raft, and vimentin. The current study provides novel insights into cell-surface AnxA2- and ADGRL2-modulated cell entry of ARV which triggers Src and p38 MAPK signaling to enhance caveolin-1-, dynamin 2-, and lipid raft-dependent endocytosis. IMPORTANCE By analyzing results from VOPBA and LC-MS/MS, we have determined that cell-surface AnxA2 and ADGRL2 modulate ARV entry. After ARV binding to receptors, Src and p38 MAPK signaling were triggered and, in turn, increased the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 (Tyr14) and upregulated dynamin 2 expression to facilitate caveolin-1-mediated and dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis. In this work, we demonstrated that ARV triggers Src activation by impeding Cbp-mediated relocation of Csk to the membrane in the early stages of the life cycle. This work provides better insight into cell-surface AnxA2 and ADGRL2, which upregulate Src and p38MAPK signaling pathways to enhance ARV entry and productive infection.

Abstract
Novel Duck Reovirus (NDRV) that has been found throughout the world in waterfowl, and it has been extensively described. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a NDRV strain isolated in China called NDRV YF10. This strain was collected from 87 samples with infected ducks in South Coastal Area. The NDRV genome consists of 23,419 bp. With the assistance of computer analysis, the promoter and terminator of each gene segment and 10 viral genes segments were identified, which encode polypeptides ranging from 98 to 1,294 amino acids. All gene fragments of this virus strain were determined and compared to previously reported strains, revealing genetic variation with similarity rates ranging from 96 to 99% for each gene segment. Each gene segment formed 2 host-associated groups, the waterfowl-derived reovirus and the avian-derived reovirus, except for the S1 gene segment, which was closely related to ARV evolution and formed a host-independent subcluster. This difference may be due to Avian Reovirus (ARV) evolving in a host-dependent manner. In order to evaluate the pathogenicity of YF10, a novel isolated strain of NDRV was tested in 2 types of ducks. It was observed that the YF10 isolated strain exhibits varying degrees of virulence, highlighting the potential risk posed to different types of ducks. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the importance of epidemiology studies, molecular characterization, and prevention of NDRV in waterfowl.

Abstract
Novel Duck reovirus (NDRV) is an ongoing non-enveloped virus with ten double-stranded RNA genome segments that belong to the genus Orthoreovirus, in the family Reoviridae. NDRV-associated spleen swelling, and necrosis disease have caused considerable economic losses to the waterfowl industry worldwide. Since 2017, a significant number of NDRV outbreaks have emerged in China. Herein, we described two cases of duck spleen necrosis disease among ducklings on duck farms in Henan province, central China. Other potential causative agent, including Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV), Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and Duck tembusu virus (DTMUV), were excluded by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and two NDRV strains, HeNXX-1/2021 and HNJZ-2/2021, were isolated. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the σC genes revealed that both newly identified NDRV isolates were closely related to DRV/SDHZ17/Shandong/2017. The results further showed that Chinese NDRVs had formed two distinct clades, with late 2017 as the turning point, suggesting that Chinese NDRVs have been evolving in different directions. This study identified and genetic characteristics of two NDRV strains in Henan province, China, indicating NDRVs have evolved in different directions in China. This study provides an insight into the ongoing emerged duck spleen necrosis disease and enriches our understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of NDRVs.

Abstract
Recent reports have revealed that oncolytic viruses (OVs) play a significant role in cancer therapy. The infection of OVs such as oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), parvovirus, mammalian reovirus (MRV), human adenovirus, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), avian reovirus (ARV), Orf virus (ORFV), inactivated Sendai virus (ISV), enterovirus, and coxsackievirus offer unique opportunities in immunotherapy through diverse and dynamic pathways. This mini-review focuses on the mechanisms of OVs-mediated virotherapy and their effects on immunogenic cell death (ICD), apoptosis, autophagy and regulation of the immune system.

Molecular and pathological investigation of avian reovirus (ARV) in Egypt with the assessment of the genetic variability of field strains compared to vaccine strains. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1156251.

Abstract
Avian orthoreovirus (ARV) is among the important viruses that cause drastic economic losses in the Egyptian poultry industry. Despite regular vaccination of breeder birds, a high prevalence of ARV infection in broilers has been noted in recent years. However, no reports have revealed the genetic and antigenic characteristics of Egyptian field ARV and vaccines used against it. Thus, this study was conducted to detect the molecular nature of emerging ARV strains in broiler chickens suffering from arthritis and tenosynovitis in comparison to vaccine strains. Synovial fluid samples (n = 400) were collected from 40 commercial broiler flocks in the Gharbia governorate, Egypt, and then pooled to obtain 40 samples, which were then used to screen ARV using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with the partial amplification of ARV sigma C gene. The obtained RT-PCR products were then sequenced, and their nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were analyzed together with other ARV field and vaccine strains from GenBank. RT-PCR successfully amplified the predicted 940 bp PCR products from all tested samples. The phylogenetic tree revealed that the analyzed ARV strains were clustered into six genotypic clusters and six protein clusters, with high antigenic diversity between the genotypic clusters. Surprisingly, our isolates were genetically different from vaccine strains, which aligned in genotypic cluster I/protein cluster I, while our strains were aligned in genotypic cluster V/protein cluster V. More importantly, our strains were highly divergent from vaccine strains used in Egypt, with 55.09-56.23% diversity. Sequence analysis using BioEdit software revealed high genetic and protein diversity between our isolates and vaccine strains (397/797 nucleotide substitutions and 148-149/265 amino acid substitutions). This high genetic diversity explains the vaccination failure and recurrent circulation of ARV in Egypt. The present data highlight the need to formulate a new effective vaccine from locally isolated ARV strains after a thorough screening of the molecular nature of circulating ARV in Egypt.

Abstract
Porcine sapelovirus (PSV) is an emerging pathogen associated with symptoms of enteritis, pneumonia, polioencephalomyelitis and reproductive disorders in swine, resulting in significant economic losses. Although PSV is reported to trigger cell apoptosis, its specific molecular mechanism is unclear. In this research, the cell apoptosis induced by PSV infection and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. The morphologic features of apoptosis include nuclear condensation and fragmentation, were observed after PSV infection. The cell apoptosis was confirmed by analyzing the apoptotic rates, caspase activation, and PARP1 cleavage. Caspase inhibitors inhibited the PSV-induced intrinsic apoptosis pathway and reduced viral replication. Among the proteins encoded by PSV, 2A is an important factor in inducing the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The conserved residues H48, D91, and C164 related to protease activity in PSV 2A were crucial for 2A-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, our results provide insights into how PSV induces host cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Geese play an important role in agricultural economics, with China producing the vast majority of goose meat consumed worldwide annually. The variations in the avian viruses and co-infections result in substantial economic losses to the goose industry in China. To understand the evolutionary characteristics and co-infections of viruses, a broad epidemiological investigation of epizootic viruses of goose was carried out in nine provinces of China during 2018-2021. Here, the results indicated that, among the 1970 clinical samples, 50.81% (1001/1970) were positive for goose astrovirus (GAstV), 18.22% (359/1970) for avian orthoreovirus, 12.74% (251/1970) for goose parvovirus, 11.02% (217/1970) for H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus, 4.01% (79/1970) for Newcastle disease virus, and 2.08% (41/1970) for fowl adenovirus. Among the six viruses, co-infections comprised a large proportion (66.37%) in the field, of which the dual infection was more common. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis of GAstVs indicated that Chinese GAstVs had formed two distinct groups, that is, GAstV-1 and GAstV-2. GAstV-2 sub-genotype II-c had arisen as the dominant genotype in the whole country. Notably, all the H9N2-AIV isolated strains harboured the mammalian adaptation markers I155T, H183N, and Q226L (H3 numbering) in the HA gene, which promotes preferential binding to human-like α2-6-linked sialic acid receptors. And beyond that, we determined that the goose-origin Muscovy Duck Reovirus isolates, showing 51.7%-96% similarities to that of other waterfowl-origin orthoreovirus isolates in sequence homology analysis of the representative part of σC, are a new variant of waterfowl-origin orthoreovirus. These data provide valuable information about the prevalence of infectious diseases in geese on mainland China.

Oncolytic avian reovirus σA-modulated fatty acid metabolism through the PSMB6/Akt/SREBP1/acetyl-CoA carboxylase pathway to increase energy production for virus replication. Vet Microbiol 2022; 273:109545. [PMID: 35998542 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2022.109545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
We have demonstrated previously that the σA protein of avian reovirus (ARV) functions as an activator of cellular energy, which upregulates glycolysis and the TCA cycle for virus replication. To date, there is no report with respect to σA-modulated regulation of cellular fatty acid metabolism. This study reveals that the σA protein of ARV inhibits fatty acids synthesis and enhance fatty acid oxidation by upregulating PSMB6, which suppresses Akt, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), acetyl-coA carboxylase α (ACC1), and acetyl-coA carboxylase β (ACC2). SREBP1 is a transcription factor involved in fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis. Overexpression of SREBP1 reversed σA-modulated suppression of ACC1 and ACC2. In this work, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based genetically encoded indicator, Ateams, was used to study σA-modulated inhibition of fatty acids synthesis which enhances cellular ATP levels in Vero cells and human cancer cell lines (A549 and HeLa). By using Ateams, we demonstrated that σA-modulated inhibition of Akt, SREBP1, ACC1, and ACC2 leads to increased levels of ATP in mammalian and human cancer cells. Furthermore, knockdown of PSMB6 or overexpression of SREBP1 reversed σA-modulated increased levels of ATP in cells, indicating that PSMB6 and SREBP1 play important roles in ARV σA-modulated cellular fatty acid metabolism. Furthermore, we found that σA R155/273A mutant protein loses its ability to enter the nucleolus, which impairs its ability to regulate fatty acid metabolism and does not increase ATP formation, suggesting that nucleolus entry of σA is critical for regulating cellular fatty acid metabolism to generate more energy for virus replication. Collectively, this study provides novel insights into σA-modulated inhibition of fatty acid synthesis and enhancement of fatty acid oxidation to produce more energy for virus replication through the PSMB6/Akt/SREBP1/ACC pathway.

Abstract
Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are important pathogens that cause considerable economic losses in poultry farming. To date, host factors that control stabilization of ARV proteins remain largely unknown. In this work we determined that the eukaryotic chaperonin T-complex protein-1 (TCP-1) ring complex (TRiC) is essential for avian reovirus (ARV) replication by stabilizing outer-capsid protein σC, inner core protein σA, and the non-structural protein σNS of ARV. TriC serves as a chaperone of viral proteins and prevent their degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed the association of viral proteins (σA, σC, and σNS) with TRiC. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that the TRiC chaperonins (CCT2 and CCT5) are colocalized with viral proteins σC, σA, and σNS of ARV. In this study, inhibition of TRiC chaperonins (CCT2 and CCT5) by the inhibitor HSF1A or shRNAs significantly reduced expression levels of the σC, σA, and σNS proteins of ARV as well as virus yield, suggesting that the TRiC complex functions in stabilization of viral proteins and virus replication. This study provides novel insights into TRiC chaperonin governing virus replication via stabilization of outer-capsid protein σC, inner core protein σA, and the non-structural protein σNS of ARV.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) causes high morbidity in ducklings, and recovered ducklings are often remarkably stunted in growth. In this study, four NDRV strains were isolated from the NDRV outbreaks that occurred in different regions of Shandong province, China. The biological characteristics and pathogenicity of the four NDRV strains were elucidated, and the N20 was identified as a naturally attenuated strain. Three-day-old ducklings were immunized with live N20 strain (100 ELD50/duck), and challenged with 104.52 ELD50 of virulent N19 strain at 7 days post immunization. The vaccinated ducklings showed no evidence of clinical signs, gross and histopathological lesions, or loss of body weight, and 100 % protection against the virulent NDRV N19 infection. The NDRV-specific antibodies were generated in the immunized ducklings and could neutralize different NDRV strains. These results indicated that the N20 strain was a promising live attenuated vaccine candidate against highly pathogenic NDRV infection.

Efficacy of signal peptide predictors in identifying signal peptides in the experimental secretome of Picrophilous torridus, a thermoacidophilic archaeon. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0255826.

Abstract
Secretory proteins are important for microbial adaptation and survival in a particular environment. Till date, experimental secretomes have been reported for a few archaea. In this study, we have identified the experimental secretome of Picrophilous torridus and evaluated the efficacy of various signal peptide predictors (SPPs) in identifying signal peptides (SPs) in its experimental secretome. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometric (LC MS) analysis was performed for three independent P. torridus secretome samples and only those proteins which were common in the three experiments were selected for further analysis. Thus, 30 proteins were finally included in this study. Of these, 10 proteins were identified as hypothetical/uncharacterized proteins. Gene Ontology, KEGG and STRING analyses revealed that majority of the sercreted proteins and/or their interacting partners were involved in different metabolic pathways. Also, a few proteins like malate dehydrogenase (Q6L0C3) were multi-functional involved in different metabolic pathways like carbon metabolism, microbial metabolism in diverse environments, biosynthesis of antibiotics, etc. Multi-functionality of the secreted proteins reflects an important aspect of thermoacidophilic adaptation of P. torridus which has the smallest genome (1.5 Mbp) among nonparasitic aerobic microbes. SPPs like, PRED-SIGNAL, SignalP 5.0, PRED-TAT and LipoP 1.0 identified SPs in only a few secreted proteins. This suggests that either these SPPs were insufficient, or N-terminal SPs were absent in majority of the secreted proteins, or there might be alternative mechanisms of protein translocation in P. torridus.

Viral Proteins as Emerging Cancer Therapeutics. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13092199.

Abstract
Simple Summary This review is focused on enlisting viral proteins from different host sources, irrespective of their origin, that may act as future cancer curatives. Unlike the viral proteins that are responsible for tumor progression, these newly emerged viral proteins function as tumor suppressors. Their ability to regulate various cell signaling mechanisms specifically in cancer cells makes them interesting candidates to explore their use in cancer therapy. The discussion about such viral components may provide new insights into cancer treatment in the absence of any adverse effects to normal cells. The study also highlights avian viral proteins as a substitute to human oncolytic viruses for their ability to evade pre-existing immunity. Abstract Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that originated millions of years ago. Viral elements cover almost half of the human genome sequence and have evolved as genetic blueprints in humans. They have existed as endosymbionts as they are largely dependent on host cell metabolism. Viral proteins are known to regulate different mechanisms in the host cells by hijacking cellular metabolism to benefit viral replication. Amicable viral proteins, on the other hand, from several viruses can participate in mediating growth retardation of cancer cells based on genetic abnormalities while sparing normal cells. These proteins exert discreet yet converging pathways to regulate events like cell cycle and apoptosis in human cancer cells. This property of viral proteins could be harnessed for their use in cancer therapy. In this review, we discuss viral proteins from different sources as potential anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Emerging variant novel duck reovirus (NDRV) strains that cause spleen swelling and necrosis have seriously threatened the waterfowl industry since 2017. However, there is no report about the complete genomic sequence of emerging variant strains isolated from Cherry valley ducks. In this study, we acquired the complete genome sequences of two variant NDRV strains, SD19/6201 and SD19/6202, and analyzed their genetic and evolutionary relationship with other orthoreoviruses. The phylogenetic analysis of σC showed that all the Chinese NDRVs were clustered into two distinct branches. The SD19/6201 strain located in branch I with most of the Chinese NDRVs, while SD19/6202 was clustered in branch II with significantly different from the existing strains. Within the branch I, the NDRVs isolated in 2017 and thereafter clustered in a new subgroup. Comparison analysis of σC amino acid sequences indicated that ten amino acid differences were found between SD19/6201 and SD19/6202. Apart from the SD19/6201 and SD19/6202 strains, isolates in 2017 and thereafter had specific mutations at residues 132A, 138R, 158H, and 258A. These two NDRV strains showed different pathogenicity in SPF duck embryos and ducks. The viral loads in the spleen of infected ducks were significantly higher than those of other organs, which might be the reason why NDRV could cause obvious spleen necrosis in ducks. This study will help us to formulate effective prevention and control strategies against NDRV and enrich our understanding of the intra- and inter-species relationships of orthoreoviruses.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) infection induced apoptosis in vitro and vivo; nevertheless, the intracellular molecular mechanisms have not been sufficiently revealed. In the previous studies, there have been shown that cellular apoptosis caused by ARV were related with GRP78/IRE1/XBP1 pathway. Protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) are core molecules in unfold protein response (UPR) and play critical role in ER stress related apoptosis, as well as downstream regulation factors, as Caspase-12 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). In this study, we investigated with a focus on the contribution of UPR related signal pathways in the mechanism of ARV mediated apoptosis. Our results showed that the key molecules of UPR pathways proteins, ATF6, PERK and IRE1 as well as Caspase-12 and cleaved-Caspase-3 expression significant increased both in transcript and protein level in ARV infected cultured Vero cells. In the same time, the ARV induces apoptosis was observed by flow cytometric analysis. Further study revealed that when inhibit the UPR effect by 4PBA pretreated or knockdown of ATF6 by lentivirus mediated shRNA abolished the activation effect of UPR, Caspase-12, cleaved-Caspase-3 activation, as well as the apoptosis induction by ARV infection. The present study provides mechanistic insights into that UPR particular ATF6 played critical roles and works upstream of caspase in the process of cellular apoptosis induced by ARV infection.

Abstract
Vaccination may be an effective way to reduce turkey arthritis reovirus (TARV)-induced lameness in turkey flocks. However, there are currently no commercial vaccines available against TARV infection. Here, we describe the use of reverse genetics technology to generate a recombinant Pichinde virus (PICV) that expresses the Sigma C and/or Sigma B proteins of TARV as antigens. Nine recombinant PICV-based TARV vaccines were developed carrying the wild-type S1 (Sigma C) and/or S3 (Sigma B) genes from three different TARV strains. In addition, three recombinant PICV-based TARV vaccines were produced carrying codon-optimized S1 and/or S3 genes of a TARV strain. The S1 and S3 genes and antigens were found to be expressed in virus-infected cells via reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) technique, respectively. Turkey poults inoculated with the recombinant PICV-based TARV vaccine expressing the bivalent TARV S1 and S3 antigens developed high anti-TARV antibody titers, indicating the immunogenicity (and safety) of this vaccine. Future in vivo challenge studies using a turkey reovirus infection model will determine the optimum dose and protective efficacy of this recombinant virus-vectored candidate vaccine.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated mechanism of cell death that plays important roles in various biological processes including biological evolution, multiple system development, anticancer, and viral infections. Swine enteropathogenic coronaviruses invade and damage villous epithelial cells of the small intestine causing severe diarrhea with high mortality rate in suckling piglets. Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) are on the top list of commonly-seen swine coronaviruses with a feature of diarrhea, resulting in significant economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Apoptosis has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis process of animal virus infectious diseases. Understanding the roles of apoptosis in host responses against swine enteropathogenic coronaviruses infection contribute to disease prevention and control. Here we summarize the recent findings that focus on the apoptosis during swine coronaviruses infection, in particular, TGEV, PEDV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV), the prototype strain of the species Avian orthoreovirus (ARV), is associated with high mortality in Pekin ducklings. σC is an outer capsid protein encoded by the S1 genome segment of NDRV which mediates attachment to host cells. Our previous studies using immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry found that σC coprecipitated with some host proteins including Translocation-associated membrane protein 1 (TRAM1). However, the interaction between σC and TRAM1 has not been further confirmed experimentally. In this study, we utilized coimmunoprecipitation assays, glutathione S-transferase pull-down, and confocal microscopy to confirm the interaction between σC and TRAM1. In addition, knockdown of TRAM1 using siRNA and overexpression of TRAM1 gene were conducted to explore its effect on virus replication. The result showed that TRAM1 silencing benefits while overexpression inhibits viral replication. This study confirms the important role TRAM1 during NDRV infection which can help develop new approaches for NDRV disease prevention and control.

Abstract
Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), a newly discovered enteric coronavirus, is the aetiological agent that causes severe clinical diarrhea and intestinal pathological damage in piglets. To understand the effect of SADS-CoV on host cells, we characterized the apoptotic pathways and elucidated mechanisms underlying the process of apoptotic cell death after SADS-CoV infection. SADS-CoV-infected cells showed evidence of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. The use of a pan-caspase inhibitor resulted in the inhibition of SADS-CoV-induced apoptosis and reduction in SADS-CoV replication, suggestive of the association of a caspase-dependent pathway. Furthermore, SADS-CoV infection activated the initiators caspase-8 and -9 and upregulated FasL and Bid cleavage, demonstrating a crosstalk between the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. However, the proapoptotic proteins Bax and Cytochrome c (Cyt c) relocalized to the mitochondria and cytoplasm, respectively, after infection by SADS-CoV. Moreover, Vero E6 and IPI-2I cells treated with cyclosporin A (CsA), an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening, were completely protected from SADS-CoV-induced apoptosis and viral replication, suggesting the involvement of cyclophilin D (CypD) in these processes. Altogether, our results indicate that caspase-dependent FasL (extrinsic)- and mitochondria (intrinsic)- mediated apoptotic pathways play a central role in SADS-CoV-induced apoptosis that facilitates viral replication. In summary, these findings demonstrate mechanisms by which SADS-CoV induces apoptosis and improve our understanding of SADS-CoV pathogenesis.

Abstract
In recent years, emerging avian reovirus (ARV) strains causing viral arthritis have become a challenge to the worldwide chicken industry, and were responsible for significant economic losses. In this study, we characterized emerging variant ARV strains and examined their genetic relationship and pathogenicity variation with reference strains. A total of 18 emerging variant ARV strains were isolated from tendon and capsular synovial fluid of broiler chickens with clinical cases of arthritis/tenosynovitis at commercial farms in China. Comparative analysis based on σC sequence showed that 4/18 isolates were in the same cluster (Cluster 1) as vaccine strains (S1133), whereas 14 of 18 isolates were in Clusters 2, 3, and 6. The field isolates shared a rather low identity (38.1 to 81.9%) with S1133 in Cluster 1, especially for those from Cluster 6 (38.1 to 67.2%). A higher ARV isolation rate was observed in chicken embryos (47/61) compared to cell culture (37/61) through PCR with a detection primer. A total of 3 isolates were selected to infect specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens, showing that the tested isolates, especially that from Cluster 6, displayed greater pathogenicity than S1133 strain, characterized by higher incidence. These findings suggest that the virulence of Chinese ARVs has been increasing rapidly in recent years, and the vaccine need to be updated correspondingly.

Abstract
This study demonstrates that the Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) p10.8 protein is one of many viral non-structural proteins that induces both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The p10.8 but not σC is a nuclear targeting protein that shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Our results reveal that p10.8-induced apoptosis in cultured cells occurs by the nucleoporin Tpr/p53-dependent and Fas/caspase 8-mediated pathways. Furthermore, a compelling finding from this study is that the p10.8 and σC proteins of MDRV facilitate CDK2 and CDK4 degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We found that depletion of Cdc20 reversed the p10.8- and σC- mediated CDK4 degradation and p10.8-induced apoptosis, suggesting that Cdc20 plays a critical role in modulating p10.8-mediated cell cycle and apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that depletion of chaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) 2 and CCT5 reduced the level of Cdc20 and reversed the p10.8- and σC-mediated CDK4 degradation and p10.8-induced apoptosis, indicating that molecular chaperone CCT2 and CCT5 are required for stabilization of Ccd20 for mediating both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This study provides mechanistic insights into how p10.8 induces both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Vet Microbiol 2018; 228:234-245. [PMID: 30593373 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2018] [Revised: 12/04/2018] [Accepted: 12/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, the mechanisms underlying Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) p10.8 protein-induced ER stress and apoptosis in DF-1 cells and Muscovy duckling hepatic tissues were explored. On the fifth day post-infection, an increase in the mRNA levels of binding immunoglobulin protein (Bip) and X-box binding protein (XBP1), activation of XBP1/s, and an increase in percentage of apoptotic cells were observed in Muscovy duckling livers. The use of ER stress inducer Tunicamycin and ER stress inhibitor Tauroursodeoxycholic acid demonstrated that MDRV induces apoptosis via ER stress, leading to apoptosis. The use of Tunicamycin increased viral protein synthesis while Tauroursodeoxycholic acid reduced viral protein synthesis, suggesting that MDRV induces ER stress benefiting virus replication. The MDRV p10.8 is the major protein to induce ER stress and apoptosis. We found that p10.8 promotes the conversion of XBP1/u to XBP1/s and expands ER diameter, and increases the percentages of apoptotic cells in DF-1 and duckling liver tissues. To investigate the mechanism underlying the MDRV p10.8-induced ER stress and apoptosis, Western blot, siRNA, and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays were performed. We found that the MDRV p10.8 protein up-regulates Bip, p-IRE1, XBP1s, and cleaved-caspase 3. Co-IP results reveal that the MDRV p10.8 protein disassociates the Bip/IRE1 complex. Inhibition of IRE1 by 4-methyl umbelliferone 8-carbaldehyde (4u8c) dramatically reversed the MDRV p10.8-modulated increase in levels of XBP1s and cleaved-caspase 3. Knockdown of XBP1 by siRNA reversed the increased level of p10.8-modulated cleaved-caspase 3. The present study provides mechanistic insights into the MDRV p10.8 protein induces ER stress, resulting in apoptosis via the Bip/IRE1/XBP1 pathway in DF-1 cells and duckling livers.

Abstract
Background Chicken anemia virus (CAV), avian reovirus (ARV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), Marek’s disease virus (MDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) all cause immunosuppressive disease in birds through vertical or horizontal transmission. Mixed infections with these immunosuppressive pathogens lead to atypical clinical signs and obstruct accurate diagnoses and epidemiological investigations. Therefore, it is essential to develop a high-throughput assay for the simultaneous detection of these immunosuppressive viruses with high specificity and sensitivity. The aim of this study was to establish a novel method using a RT-PCR assay combined with fluorescence labeled polystyrene bead microarray (multiplex xTAG assay) to detect single or mixed viral infections. Results The results showed that the established xTAG assay had no nonspecific reactions with avian influenza virus (AIV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS). The limit of detection was 1.0 × 103 copies/μL for IBDV and 1.0 × 102copies/μL for the other four viruses. Ninety field samples were tested and the results were confirmed using conventional RT-PCR methods. The detection results of these two methods were 100% consistent. The established multiplex xTAG assay allows a high throughput and simultaneous detection of five chicken immunosuppressive viruses. Conclusion The multiplex xTAG assay has been showed to be an additional tool for molecular epidemiology studies of five chicken immunosuppressive viruses in the poultry industry.

Mechanistic insights into avian reovirus p17-modulated suppression of cell cycle CDK-cyclin complexes and enhancement of p53 and cyclin H interaction. J Biol Chem 2018; 293:12542-12562.

Abstract
The avian reovirus p17 protein is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. Although we have demonstrated that p17 causes cell growth retardation via activation of p53, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This is the first report that avian reovirus p17 possesses broad inhibitory effects on cell cycle CDKs, cyclins, CDK-cyclin complexes, and CDK-activating kinase activity in various mammalian, avian, and cancer cell lines. Suppression of CDK activity by p17 occurs by direct binding to CDKs, cyclins, and CDK-cyclin complexes; transcriptional down-regulation of CDKs; cytoplasmic retention of CDKs and cyclins; and inhibition of CDK-activating kinase activity by promoting p53-cyclin H interaction. p17 binds to CDK-cyclin except for CDK1-cyclin B1 and CDK7-cyclin H complexes. We have determined that the negatively charged 151LAVXDVDA(E/D)DGADPN165 motif in cyclin B1 interacts with a positively charged region of CDK1. p17 mimics the cyclin B1 sequence to compete for CDK1 binding. The PSTAIRE motif is not required for interaction of CDK1-cyclin B1, but it is required for other CDK-cyclin complexes. p17 interacts with cyclins by its cyclin-binding motif, 125RXL127 Sequence and mutagenic analyses of p17 indicated that a 140WXFD143 motif and residues Asp-113 and Lys-122 in p17 are critical for CDK2 and CDK6 binding, leading to their sequestration in the cytoplasm. Exogenous expression of p17 significantly enhanced virus replication, whereas p17 mutants with low binding ability to cell cycle CDKs had no effect on virus yield, suggesting that p17 inhibits cell growth and the cell cycle, benefiting virus replication. An in vivo tumorigenesis assay also showed a significant reduction in tumor size.

Abstract
Background Avian reovirus (ARV) is an important poultry pathogen that can cause immunosuppression. In this study, RNA-Seq technology was applied to investigate the transcriptome-wide changes of DF-1 cells upon ARV infection at the middle stage. Results Total RNA of ARV-infected or mock-infected samples at 10 and 18 h post infection (hpi) was extracted to build RNA-Seq datasets. Analysis of the sequencing data revealed that the expressions of numerous genes were altered, and a panel of differentially expressed genes were confirmed with RT-qPCR. At 10 hpi, 104 genes were down-regulated and 64 were up-regulated, while the expressions of 47 genes were increased and only one was down-regulated, which may play a role in retinoic acid biosynthesis, at 18 hpi in the ARV-infected cells. The similar profiles of up-regulated genes between the two groups of infected cells suggest that ARV infection activated a prolonged antiviral response of host cells. Alternative splicing analysis found no significantly changed events altered by ARV infection. Conclusions Overall, the differential expression profile presented in this study can be used to expand our understanding of the comprehensive interactions between ARV and the host cells, and may be helpful for us to reveal the pathogenic mechanism on the molecular level.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) disease emerged in China in 2011 and continues to cause high morbidity and about 5.0 to 50% mortality in ducklings. Currently there are no approved vaccines for the virus. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a new vaccine created from the baculovirus and sigma C gene against NDRV. In this study, a recombinant baculovirus containing the sigma C gene was constructed, and the purified protein was used as a vaccine candidate in ducklings. The efficacy of sigma C vaccine was estimated according to humoral immune responses, cellular immune response and protection against NDRV challenge. The results showed that sigma C was highly expressed in Sf9 cells. Robust humoral and cellular immune responses were induced in all ducklings immunized with the recombinant sigma C protein. Moreover, 100% protection against lethal challenge with NDRV TH11 strain was observed. Summary, the recombinant sigma C protein could be utilized as a good candidate against NDRV infection.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) infections characterised by severe arthritis, tenosynovitis, pericarditis, and depressed growth have become increasingly frequent in recent years. In this study, we isolated and identified 11 ARV field strains from chickens with viral arthritis and reduced growth in northern China. Comparative analysis of the σC nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that all isolates, except LN05 and JS01, were closely related to ARV S1133 and clustered in the first genetic lineage. LN05 and JS01 strains were clustered in the third lineage with the ARV 138 strain. Using S1133 as a reference, five isolates were selected to infect specific-pathogen-free chickens, and we found that the recent isolated Chinese ARV strains had higher replication ability in vivo and caused enhanced mortality than the S1133 strain. These findings suggest that the pathogenicity of Chinese ARVs has been changing in recent years and disease control may become more difficult. This study provides genetic and pathogenic characterisations of ARV strains isolated in northern China and calls for a sustained surveillance of ARV infection in China in order to support a better prevention and control of the disease.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to identify avian reovirus (ARV) proteins that can activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent Akt pathway. Based on ARV protein amino acid sequence analysis, σA, σNS, μA, μB and μNS were identified as putative proteins capable of mediating PI3K/Akt pathway activation. The recombinant plasmids σA-pcAGEN, σNS-pcAGEN, μA-pcAGEN, μB-pcAGEN and μNS-pcAGEN were constructed and used to transfect Vero cells, and the expression levels of the corresponding genes were quantified by immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. Phosphorylated Akt (P-Akt) levels in the transfected cells were measured by flow cytometry and Western blot analysis. The results showed that the σA, σNS, μA, μB and μNS genes were expressed in Vero cells. σA-expressing and σNS-expressing cells had higher P-Akt levels than negative control cells, pcAGEN-expressing cells and cells designed to express other proteins (i.e., μA, μB and μNS). Pre-treatment with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 inhibited Akt phosphorylation in σA- and σNS-expressing cells. These results indicate that the σA and σNS proteins can activate the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Goldenberg D, Lublin A, Rosenbluth E, Heller ED, Pitcovski J. Optimized polypeptide for a subunit vaccine against avian reovirus. Vaccine 2016; 34:3178-3183. [PMID: 27155492 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2016.04.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2016] [Revised: 04/10/2016] [Accepted: 04/12/2016] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) is a disease-causing agent. The disease is prevented by vaccination with a genotype-specific vaccine while many variants of ARV exist in the field worldwide. Production of new attenuated vaccines is a long-term process and in the case of fast-mutating viruses, an impractical one. In the era of molecular biology, vaccines may be produced by using only the relevant protein for induction of neutralizing antibodies, enabling fast adjustment to the emergence of new genetic strains. Sigma C (SC) protein of ARV is a homotrimer that facilitates host-cell attachment and induce the production and secretion of neutralizing antibodies. The aim of this study was to identify the region of SC that will elicit a protective immune response. Full-length (residues 1-326) and two partial fragments of SC (residues 122-326 and 192-326) were produced in Escherichia coli. The SC fragment of residues 122-326 include the globular head, shaft and hinge domains, while eliminating intra-capsular region. This fragment induces significantly higher levels of anti-ARV antibodies than the shorter fragment or full length SC, which neutralized embryos infection by the virulent strain to a higher extent compared with the antibodies produced in response to the whole virus vaccine. Residues 122-326 fragment is assumed to be folded correctly, exposing linear as well as conformational epitopes that are identical to those of the native protein, while possibly excluding suppressor sequences. The results of this study may serve for the development of a recombinant subunit vaccine for ARV.

Abstract
Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) for full genomic characterization studies of the newly emerging avian orthoreovirus (ARV) field strains isolated in Pennsylvania poultry, we identified two co-infection ARV variant strains from one ARV isolate obtained from ARV-affected young layer chickens. The de novo assembly of the ARV reads generated 19 contigs of two different ARV variant strains according to 10 genome segments of each ARV strain. The two variants had the same M2 segment. The complete genomes of each of the two variant strains were 23,493 bp in length, and 10 dsRNA segments ranged from 1192 bp (S4) to 3958 bp (L1), encoding 12 viral proteins. Sequence comparison of nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequences of all 10 genome segments revealed 58.1–100% and 51.4–100% aa identity between the two variant strains, and 54.3–89.4% and 49.5–98.1% aa identity between the two variants and classic vaccine strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a moderate to significant nt sequence divergence between the two variant and ARV reference strains. These findings have demonstrated the first naturally occurring co-infection of two ARV variants in commercial young layer chickens, providing scientific evidence that multiple ARV strains can be simultaneously present in one host species of chickens.

Reverse Genetics for Fusogenic Bat-Borne Orthoreovirus Associated with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Humans: Role of Outer Capsid Protein σC in Viral Replication and Pathogenesis. PLoS Pathog 2016; 12:e1005455.

Abstract
Nelson Bay orthoreoviruses (NBVs) are members of the fusogenic orthoreoviruses and possess 10-segmented double-stranded RNA genomes. NBV was first isolated from a fruit bat in Australia more than 40 years ago, but it was not associated with any disease. However, several NBV strains have been recently identified as causative agents for respiratory tract infections in humans. Isolation of these pathogenic bat reoviruses from patients suggests that NBVs have evolved to propagate in humans in the form of zoonosis. To date, no strategy has been developed to rescue infectious viruses from cloned cDNA for any member of the fusogenic orthoreoviruses. In this study, we report the development of a plasmid-based reverse genetics system free of helper viruses and independent of any selection for NBV isolated from humans with acute respiratory infection. cDNAs corresponding to each of the 10 full-length RNA gene segments of NBV were cotransfected into culture cells expressing T7 RNA polymerase, and viable NBV was isolated using a plaque assay. The growth kinetics and cell-to-cell fusion activity of recombinant strains, rescued using the reverse genetics system, were indistinguishable from those of native strains. We used the reverse genetics system to generate viruses deficient in the cell attachment protein σC to define the biological function of this protein in the viral life cycle. Our results with σC-deficient viruses demonstrated that σC is dispensable for cell attachment in several cell lines, including murine fibroblast L929 cells but not in human lung epithelial A549 cells, and plays a critical role in viral pathogenesis. We also used the system to rescue a virus that expresses a yellow fluorescent protein. The reverse genetics system developed in this study can be applied to study the propagation and pathogenesis of pathogenic NBVs and in the generation of recombinant NBVs for future vaccines and therapeutics. Nelson Bay orthoreoviruses (NBVs) are members of the fusogenic orthoreoviruses that have various host species, including reptiles, birds, and mammals. Recently, several NBV strains have been isolated from patients with acute respiratory tract infections. Isolation of these pathogenic reoviruses raises concerns about the potential emerging infections of bat-borne orthoreoviruses in humans. The development of an entirely plasmid-based reverse genetics system for double-stranded RNA viruses has trailed other systems of major animal RNA virus groups because of the technical complexities involved in the manipulation of genomes composed of 10 or more segments. In this study, we developed a plasmid-based reverse genetics system for a pathogenic NBV strain. We used this system to generate viruses incapable of expressing the cell attachment protein σC and to rescue a replication-competent virus that expresses a yellow fluorescent protein. Our studies using σC-deficient viruses suggest that NBVs may engage multiple independent viral ligands and cellular receptors for efficient cell attachment and viral pathogenesis, thus providing new insight into the biology of orthoreoviruses. The reverse genetics approach described in this study can be exploited for fusogenic orthoreovirus biology and used to develop vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

A critical role of LAMP-1 in avian reovirus P10 degradation associated with inhibition of apoptosis and virus release. Arch Virol 2016; 161:899-911.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) causes viral arthritis, chronic respiratory diseases, retarded growth and malabsorption syndrome. The ARV p10 protein, a viroporin responsible for the induction of cell syncytium formation and apoptosis, is rapidly degraded in host cells. However, the mechanism of p10 degradation and its relevance are still unclear. We report here the identification of cellular lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1) as an interaction partner of p10 by yeast two-hybrid screening, immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy assays. We found that rapid degradation of p10 was associated with ubiquitination. Importantly, ARV p10 degradation in host cells could be completely abolished by knockdown of LAMP-1 by siRNA, indicating that LAMP-1 is required for ARV p10 degradation in host cells. In contrast, overexpression of LAMP-1 facilitated p10 degradation. Furthermore, knockdown of LAMP-1 allowed p10 accumulation, enhancing p10-induced apoptosis and viral release. Thus, LAMP-1 plays a critical role in ARV p10 degradation associated with inhibition of apoptosis and viral release.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) protein p17 has been shown to regulate cell cycle and autophagy by activation of p53/PTEN pathway; nevertheless, it is still unclear how p53 and PTEN are activated by p17. Here, we report for the first time that p17 functions as a nucleoporin Tpr suppressor that leads to p53 nuclear accumulation and consequently activates p53, p21, and PTEN. The nuclear localization signal (119IAAKRGRQLD128) of p17 has been identified for Tpr binding. This study has shown that Tpr suppression occurs by p17 interacting with Tpr and by reducing the transcription level of Tpr, which together inhibit Tpr function. In addition to upregulation of PTEN by activation of p53 pathway, this study also suggests that ARV protein p17 acts as a positive regulator of PTEN. ARV p17 stabilizes PTEN by stimulating phosphorylation of cytoplasmic PTEN and by elevating Rak-PTEN association to prevent it from E3 ligase NEDD4-1 targeting. To activate PTEN, p17 is able to promote β-arrestin-mediated PTEN translocation from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane via a Rock-1-dependent manner. The accumulation of p53 in the nucleus induces the PTEN- and p21-mediated downregulation of cyclin D1 and CDK4. Furthermore, Tpr and CDK4 knockdown increased virus production in contrast to depletion of p53, PTEN, and LC3 reducing virus yield. Taken together, our data suggest that p17-mediated Tpr suppression positively regulates p53, PTEN, and p21 and negatively regulates PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK signaling pathways, both of which are beneficial for virus replication.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV)-induced apoptosis contributes to the pathogenesis of reovirus in infected chickens. However, methods for effectively reducing ARV-triggered apoptosis remain to be explored. Here, we show that pretreatment with chloroquine (CQ) or E64d plus pepstatin A decreases ARV-mediated apoptosis in chicken DF-1 cells. By acting as autophagy inhibitors, CQ and E64d plus pepstatin A increase microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II (LC3II) accumulation in ARV-infected cells, which results in decreased ARV protein synthesis and virus yield and thereby contributes to the reduction of apoptosis. Furthermore, ARV-mediated apoptosis in the bursa, heart and intestines of chicken embryos is attenuated by CQ and E64d plus pepstatin A treatment. Importantly, treatment with these autophagy inhibitors increases the survival of infected chicken embryos. Together, our data suggest that pharmacological inhibition of autophagy might represent a novel strategy for reducing ARV-mediated apoptosis.

We found that σC-induced apoptosis in DF-1 cells could be completely abolished by knockdown of EEF1A1 by siRNA. Furthermore, knockdown of EEF1A1 markedly reduced ARV-induced apoptosis associated with decreased caspase-9 and -3 activation and cytochrome C release, leading to increased ARV growth in host cells. Thus, EEF1A1 plays a critical role in σC-induced apoptosis and inhibition of viral growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avian reovirus (ARV) is a member of the Orthoreovirus genus in the Reoviridae family. It is the etiological agent of several diseases, among which viral arthritis and malabsorption syndrome are the most commercially important, causing considerable economic losses in the poultry industry. Although a small but increasing number of reports have characterized some aspects of ARV infection, global changes in protein expression in ARV-infected host cells have not been examined. The current study used a proteomics approach to obtain a comprehensive view of changes in protein levels in host cells upon infection by ARV. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The proteomics profiles of DF-1 chicken fibroblast cells infected with ARV strain S1133 were analyzed by two-dimensional differential-image gel electrophoresis. The majority of protein expression changes (≥ 1.5 fold, p<0.05) occurred at 72 h post-infection. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry identified 51 proteins with differential expression levels, including 25 that were upregulated during ARV infection and 26 that were downregulated. These proteins were divided into eight groups according to biological function: signal transduction, stress response, RNA processing, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, energy metabolism, and cytoskeleton organization. They were further examined by immunoblotting to validate the observed alterations in protein expression. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE This is the first report of a time-course proteomic analysis of ARV-infected host cells. Notably, all identified proteins involved in signal transduction, RNA processing, and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway were downregulated in infected cells, whereas proteins involved in DNA synthesis, apoptosis, and energy production pathways were upregulated. In addition, other differentially expressed proteins were linked with the cytoskeleton, metabolism, redox regulation, and stress response. These proteomics data provide valuable information about host cell responses to ARV infection and will facilitate further studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying ARV pathogenesis.

Abstract
Autophagy participates in multiple fundamental physiological processes, including survival, differentiation, development, and cellular homeostasis. It eliminates cytoplasmic protein aggregates and damaged organelles by triggering a series of events: sequestering the protein substrates into double-membrane vesicles, fusing the vesicles with lysosomes, and then degrading the autophagic contents. This degradation pathway is also involved in various disorders, for instance, cancers and infectious diseases. This paper provides an overview of modulation of autophagy in the course of reovirus infection and also the interplay of autophagy and reovirus.

Abstract
Avian reovirus infection causes considerable economic loss to the commercial poultry industry. Live-attenuated vaccine strain S1133 (v-S1133, derived from parent strain S1133) is considered the safest and most effective vaccine and is currently used worldwide. To identify the genes responsible for its attenuation, DNA sequences of open reading frames (ORF) of S1133 and its parent strains S1133, 1733, 526, and C78 along with three field isolates (GuangxiR1, GuangxiR2, and GX110058) and one isolate (GX110116) from a vaccinated chicken were performed. The sequence data were compared with available sequences in nucleotide sequence databases of American (AVS-B, 138, 176) and Chinese (C-98 and T-98) origin. Sequence analysis identified that several v-S1133 specific nucleotide substitutions existed in the ORFs of λA, λB, λC, μA, μB, μNS, σA, σB, and σNS genes. The v-S1133 strain could be differentiated from the field-isolated strains based on single nucleotide polymorphisms. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that v-S1133 shared the highest sequence homologies with S1133 and reovirus isolates from China, grouped together in one cluster. Chinese isolates were clearly more distinct from the American reovirus AVS-B strain, which is associated with runting-stunting syndrome in broilers.

Abstract
SigmaC (σC) protein, which mediates virus attachment to target cells, is the most variable proteins of avian reovirus (ARV). It is responsible for inducing protective antibody immune responses in animals. To understand the antigenic determinants of σC protein, a set of partially overlapping and consecutive peptides spanning σC were expressed and then screened with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2B5 directed against σC. The mAb 2B5 recognized peptides with the σC motif (45)ELLHRSISDISTTV(58). Further identification of the displayed B-cell epitope was conducted with a set of truncated peptides expressed as GST fusion proteins. The Western blot and ELISA results indicated that (45)ELLHRSISDI(54) was the minimal determinant of the linear B-cell epitope. Using sequences analysis, we found that this epitope was not a common motif shared among the other members of the ARV and DRV groups. Furthermore, cross reactivity analysis showed that the associated coding motif of other ARV and DRV groups was not recognized by 2B5. These data suggested that (45)ELLHRSISDI(54) was a type-specific linear B-cell epitope of avian reovirus. The results in this study may have potential applications in the development of diagnostic techniques and epitope-based marker vaccines against ARV, which is prevalent in China.

Abstract
The pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a major viral disease that causes huge economic loss in the pig industry globally. Most viruses have been found to generate anti-apoptotic factors that facilitate cell survival in the early stages of infection. This study aimed to investigate the anti-apoptotic effects of PRV and study the underlying mechanisms in the early stage of infection. We investigated and compared whether the two PRV Us3 isoforms, Us3a and Us3b, could block apoptosis induced by virus infection, and further identified molecules involved in the signaling pathways. Our results demonstrated that PRV elicits 3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1/phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases/Akt (PDK-1/PI3-K/Akt)- and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-dependent signaling in the early stage of infection. Inhibition of the PI3-K/Akt or NF-κB pathway enhanced cell death but no effect was observed on virus replication or PRV gene expression. Transiently-expressed GFP- or His-tagged PRV Us3a and Us3b cDNA protect cells against PRV-, avian reovirus- or bovine ephemeral fever virus-induced apoptosis in the cell lines. Us3a and Us3b transient over-expression upregulated several anti-apopototic signaling events, and the anti-apoptosis activity of Us3a is greater than that of Us3b. Kinase activity-deficient point or double point mutated Us3a lost the kinase activity of Us3a, which showed that kinase activity is required for the anti-apoptosis effect of Us3. Akt and NF-κB activation still occurred in UV-inactivated PRV- and cycloheximide-treated cells. In vivo study showed that PRV-infected trigeminal ganglion increases the expression of anti-apoptosis signaling molecules, including Akt, PDK-1 and IκBα, which is a similar result to that seen in the in vitro experiments. Our study suggests that signaling mechanisms may play important roles in PRV pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genotype analyses of avian reoviruses isolated from organ samples collected from chickens with suspicious clinical symptoms, between 1997-2008, was based on sequences for both σC and σB genes and aligned with those published in the Genbank, making it possible to carry out studies of molecular classification and relationships. METHODS The full length of the known variable protein σC and part of the σB encoding genes, were amplified with RT-PCR, using conserved primers. PCR products were sequenced and the sequences were analyzed and aligned with avian reovirus sequences from the Genbank database. RESULTS The sequences of σC-encoding genes of all the isolated strains indicated their close relationship with the American, Chinese and Indian strains. Taking the American strain S1133 as a reference, the two Tunisian isolates 97.1 and 97.2 showed some nucleotide substitutions. For isolate 97.1, the substitution was silent whereas for strain 97.2 the mutation was at the first position of the corresponding codon and induced the substitution of the amino acid encoded. For the σB-encoding gene, the sequences of the Tunisian strains showed mutations at positions two or three of the corresponding codons, inducing substitutions of amino acids at these positions. The phylogenic trees based on σC and σB encoding genes indicated closer relationship between Tunisian, American and Taiwanese isolates of genotype I. CONCLUSION Our study describes the genotype of avian reoviruses that are not yet well characterized genetically. The characterization and classification of these viruses might be significant for understanding the epidemiology of malabsorption syndrome and viral arthritis, and improving our knowledge of the genotype of strains circulating in Tunisian flocks. Furthermore, the study of their variable pathogenicity could be extremely important in the choice of the appropriate vaccine strain to control disease.

The p17 nonstructural protein of avian reovirus triggers autophagy enhancing virus replication via activation of phosphatase and tensin deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), as well as dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR)/eIF2α signaling pathways.

Abstract
Autophagy has been shown to facilitate replication or production of avian reovirus (ARV); nevertheless, how ARV induces autophagy remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the nonstructural protein p17 of ARV functions as an activator of autophagy. ARV-infected or p17-transfected cells present a fast and strong induction of autophagy, resulting in an increased level of autophagic proteins Beclin 1 and LC3-II. Although autophagy was suppressed by 3-methyladenine or shRNAs targeting autophagic proteins (Beclin 1, ATG7, and LC3) as well as by overexpression of Bcl-2, viral transcription, σC protein synthesis, and virus yield were all significantly reduced, suggesting a key role of autophagosomes in supporting ARV replication. Furthermore, we revealed for the first time that p17 positively regulates phosphatase and tensin deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and dsRNA dependent protein kinase RNA (PKR)/eIF2α signaling pathways, accompanied by down-regulation of Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1, thereby triggering autophagy. By using p53, PTEN, PKR, AMPK, and p17 short hairpin RNA (shRNA), activation of signaling pathways and LC3-II levels was significantly suppressed, suggesting that p17 triggers autophagy through activation of p53/PTEN, AMPK, and PKR signaling pathways. Furthermore, colocalization of LC3 with viral proteins (p17 and σC), p62 with LAMP2 and LC3 with Rab7 was observed under a fluorescence microscope. The expression level of p62 was increased at 18 h postinfection and then slightly decreased 24 h postinfection compared with mock infection and thapsigargin treatment. Furthermore, disruption of autophagosome-lysosome fusion by shRNAs targeting LAMP2 or Rab7a resulted in inhibition of viral protein synthesis and virus yield, suggesting that formation of autolysosome benefits virus replication. Taken together, our results suggest that ARV induces formation of autolysosome but does not induce complete autophagic flux.
