Abstract
The consequences of human adenovirus (HAdV) infections are generally mild. However, despite the perception that HAdVs are harmless, infections can cause severe disease in certain individuals, including newborns, the immunocompromised, and those with pre-existing conditions, including respiratory or cardiac disease. In addition, HAdV outbreaks remain relatively common events and the recent emergence of more pathogenic genomic variants of various genotypes has been well documented. Coupled with evidence of zoonotic transmission, interspecies recombination, and the lack of approved AdV antivirals or widely available vaccines, HAdVs remain a threat to public health. At the same time, the detailed understanding of AdV biology garnered over nearly 7 decades of study has made this group of viruses a molecular workhorse for vaccine and gene therapy applications.

Molecular Typing and Rapid Identification of Human Adenoviruses Associated With Respiratory Diseases Using Universal PCR and Sequencing Primers for the Three Major Capsid Genes: Penton Base, Hexon, and Fiber. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:911694. [PMID: 35633710 PMCID: PMC9133664 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.911694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) within species B, C, and E are responsible for highly contagious and potentially severe respiratory disease infections. The traditional method to type these pathogens was based on virus neutralization and hemagglutination assays, which are both time-consuming and difficult, particularly due to the nonavailability of reagents. Subsequent molecular typing based on the partial characterization of the hexon gene and/or the restriction enzyme analysis (REA) of the genomes is inadequate, particularly in identifying recombinants. Here, a rapid, simple, and cost-effective method for molecular typing HAdV respiratory pathogens is presented. This incorporates three pairs of universal PCR primers that target the variable regions of the three major capsid genes, i.e., hexon, penton base, and fiber genes, that span the genome. The protocol enables typing and characterization of genotypes within species B, C, and E, as well as of some genotypes within species D and F. To validate this method, we surveyed 100 children with HAdV-associated acute respiratory infections identified by direct immunofluorescence (Hong Kong; July through October, 2014). Throat swab specimens were collected and analyzed by PCR amplification and sequencing; these sequences were characterized by BLAST. HAdVs were detected in 98 out of 100 (98%) samples, distributing as follows: 74 HAdV-B3 (74%); 10 HAdV-E4 (10%); 7 HAdV-C2 (7%); 2 HAdV-C6 (2%); 1 HAdV-B7 (1%); 1 HAdV-C1 (1%); 2 co-infection (2%); and 1 novel recombinant (1%). This study is the first detailed molecular epidemiological survey of HAdVs in Hong Kong. The developed method allows for the rapid identification of HAdV respiratory pathogens, including recombinants, and bypasses the need for whole genome sequencing for real-time surveillance of circulating adenovirus strains in outbreaks and populations by clinical virologists, public health officials, and epidemiologists.

Abstract
Human Adenoviruses (HAdV) are known to be potentially associated with strong inflammatory responses and morbidity in pediatric patients. Although most of the primary infections are self-limiting, the severity of clinical presentation, the elevation of the white blood cell count and inflammatory markers often mimic a bacterial infection and lead to an inappropriate use of antibiotics. In infections caused by HAdV, rapid antigen detection kits are advisable but not employed routinely; costs and feasibility of rapid syndromic molecular diagnosis may limit its use in the in-hospital setting; lymphocyte cultures and two-sampled serology are time consuming and impractical when considering the use of antibiotics. In this review, we aim to describe the principal diagnostic tools and the immune response in HAdV infections and evaluate whether markers based on the response of the host may help early recognition of HAdV and avoid inappropriate antimicrobial prescriptions in acute airway infections.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are highly contagious and result in large number of acute respiratory disease (ARD) cases with severe morbidity and mortality. Human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) is the most common type that causes ARD outbreaks in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. However, there is currently no vaccine approved for its general use. The hexon protein contains the main neutralizing epitopes, provoking strong and lasting immunogenicity. In this study, a novel recombinant and attenuated adenovirus vaccine candidate against HAdV-3 was constructed based on a commercially-available replication-defective HAdV-5 gene therapy and vaccine vector. The entire HAdV-3 hexon gene was integrated into the E1 region of the vector by homologous recombination using a bacterial system. The resultant recombinants expressing the HAdV-3 hexon protein were rescued in AD293 cells, identified and characterized by RT-PCR, Western blots, indirect immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. This potential vaccine candidate had a similar replicative efficacy as the wild-type HAdV-3 strain. However, and importantly, the vaccine strain had been rendered replication-defective and was incapable of replication in A549 cells after more than twenty-generation passages in AD293 cells. This represents a significant safety feature. The mice immunized both intranasally and intramuscularly by this vaccine candidate raised significant neutralizing antibodies against HAdV-3. Therefore, this recombinant, attenuated, and safe adenovirus vaccine is a promising HAdV-3 vaccine candidate. The strategy of using a clinically approved and replication-defective HAdV-5 vector provides a novel approach to develop universal adenovirus vaccine candidates against all the other types of adenoviruses causing ARDs and perhaps other adenovirus-associated diseases.

[PMID: 34054762 PMCID: PMC8160523 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.661382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) plays an important role in identifying, typing, and mutation analysis of HAdVs. Nowadays, three generations of sequencing have been developed. The accuracy of first-generation sequencing is up to 99.99%, whereas this technology relies on PCR and is time consuming; the next-generation sequencing (NGS) is expensive and not cost effective for determining a few special samples; and the third-generation sequencing technology has a higher error rate. In this study, first, we developed an efficient HAdV genomic DNA extraction method. Using the complete genomic DNA instead of the PCR amplicons as the direct sequencing template and a set of walking primers, we developed the HAdV WGS method based on first-generation sequencing. The HAdV whole genomes were effectively sequenced by a set of one-way sequencing primers designed, which reduced the sequencing time and cost. More importantly, high sequence accuracy is guaranteed. Four HAdV strains (GZ01, GZ02, HK35, and HK91) were isolated from children with acute respiratory diseases (ARDs), and the complete genomes were sequenced using this method. The accurate sequences of the whole inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) at both ends of the HAdV genomes were also acquired. The genome sequence of human adenovirus type 14 (HAdV-B14) strain GZ01 acquired by this method is identical to the sequence released in GenBank, which indicates that this novel sequencing method has high accuracy. The comparative genomic analysis identified that strain GZ02 isolated in September 2010 had the identical genomic sequence with the HAdV-B14 strain GZ01 (October 2010). Therefore, strain GZ02 is the first HAdV-B14 isolate emergent in China (September 2010; GenBank acc no. MW692349). The WGS of HAdV-C2 strain HK91 and HAdV-E4 strain HK35 isolated from children with acute respiratory disease in Hong Kong were also determined by this sequencing method. In conclusion, this WGS method is fast, accurate, and universal for common human adenovirus species B, C, and E. The sequencing strategy may also be applied to the WGS of the other DNA viruses.

Molecular Epidemiology and Clinical Features Analysis of Respiratory Adenovirus Infections Reveals Correlations between Genotype, Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Disease Severity. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4357910. [PMID: 33145348 PMCID: PMC7596535 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4357910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Revised: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 10/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Background Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are commonly causing respiratory disease. We molecularly genotyped HAdV circulating in Chinese hospitalized children with respiratory infections and summarized the clinical profiles and common inflammatory biomarkers, so as to better determine their associations with disease severity. Method Children with respiratory single HAdV infection cases that occurred from December 2017 to March 2019 were enrolled for a cross-sectional study. Clinical/laboratory features based on the genotypes of respiratory HAdV infection were reviewed for comparative analysis. Results A total of 84 patients were enrolled, and HAdV types were identified from 82 patients. Species B (HAdV-7, 44%; HAdV-3, 43%, and HAdV-14, 5%) was the most common, followed by C (HAdV-2, 4% and HAdV-1, 1%) and E (HAdV-4, 1%). Severe HAdV infection and HAdV-7 infection groups were associated with significantly longer duration of fever and hospitalized days, higher morbidity of tachypnea/dyspnea, more pleural effusion, more respiratory rales, more frequently required mechanical ventilation, and significantly higher fatality rate. The elevated procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly associated with severe HAdV infection. Conclusions HAdV-7 and HAdV-3 were the most common types among children with respiratory adenovirus infection; vaccines against these two genotypes are in urgent need. PCT and CRP are significantly associated with the severity of HAdV infection.

Adenovirus 14p1 Immunopathogenesis during Lung Infection in the Syrian Hamster. Viruses 2020; 12:v12060595.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) infections are usually mild and self-limited, with minimal inflammatory responses. During worldwide outbreaks, Ad14p1, an emerging Ad14 variant, has caused severe pulmonary disease, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This increased pathogenicity of Ad14p1 is not completely understood. In initial studies, we observed that infection of Syrian hamsters with Ad14p1 can cause a patchy bronchopneumonia, with an increased intensity of inflammation, compared to wild type Ad14 infection. The current study compared the dynamics of the immunopathogenesis of Ad14 and Ad14p1 infection of hamster lungs through the first two weeks after infection. Little difference was seen in infection-induced inflammation at day 1. Beginning at day 3, Ad14p1-infected hamsters showed marked inflammation that continued through to day 7. The inflammation began to resolve by day 10 but was still detectable at day 14. In contrast, Ad14-infected hamsters showed little inflammation during the 14-day period of observation. Inflammatory cell type analysis revealed that, at day 1, hamsters infected with either virus had predominantly neutrophil infiltration that began to resolve by day 3. However, at day 5, Ad14p1-infected hamsters had a second wave of neutrophil infiltration that was accompanied by edema which persisted to a variable extent through to day 10. These differences were not explained by an increased Ad14p1 replication rate, compared with Ad14 in vitro, but there was prolonged persistence of Ad14p1 in hamster lungs. There were differences in lung tissue cytokine and chemokine responses to Ad14p1 vs. Ad14 infection that might account for the increased leukocyte infiltrates in Ad14p1-infected hamsters. This animal model characterization provides the basis for future translational studies of the viral genetic mechanisms that control the increased immunopathogenesis of the emergent, Ad14p1 strain.

Abstract
The trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine was the only approved and available vaccine during the 2016–2018 influenza seasons. It did not include the B/Yamagata strain. In this study, we report an acute respiratory disease outbreak associated with influenza B/Yamagata infections in Guangzhou, Southern China (January through March, 2018). Among the 9914 patients, 2241 (22.6%) were positive for the influenza B virus, with only 312 (3.1%) positive for the influenza A virus. The influenza B/Yamagata lineage dominated during this period in Southern China. The highest incidence of influenza A virus infection occurred in the children aged 5–14 years. In contrast, populations across all age groups were susceptible to the influenza B virus. Phylogenetic, mutations, and 3D structure analyses of hemagglutinin (HA) genes were performed to assess the vaccine-virus relatedness. The recommended A/H1N1 vaccine strain (A/Michigan/45/2015) during both 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 was antigen-specific for these circulating isolates (clade 6B.1) in Spring 2018. An outbreak of influenza B/Yamagata (clade 3) infections in 2018 occurred during the absence of the corresponding vaccine during 2016–2018. The recommended influenza B/Yamagata vaccine strain (B/Phuket/3073/2013) for the following season (2018–2019) was antigen-specific. Although there were only a few influenza B/Victoria infections in Spring 2018, five amino acid mutations were identified in the HA antigenic sites of the 19 B/Victoria isolates (clade 1A), when compared with the 2016–2018 B/Victoria vaccine strain. The number was larger than expected and suggested that the influenza B HA gene may be more variable than previously thought. One of the mutations (K180N) was noted to likely alter the epitope and to potentially affect the viral antigenicity. Seven mutations were also identified in the HA antigenic sites of 2018–2020 B/Victoria vaccine strain, of which some or all may reduce immunogenicity and the protective efficacy of the vaccine, perhaps leading to more outbreaks in subsequent seasons. The combined epidemiological, phylogenetic, mutations, and 3D structural analyses of the HA genes of influenza strains reported here contribute to the understanding and evaluation of how HA mutations affect vaccine efficacy, as well as to providing important data for screening and selecting more specific, appropriate, and effective influenza vaccine candidate strains.

Abstract
The E3 region of all simian and human types classified within species Human mastadenovirus B (HAdV-B) encodes two unique highly conserved ORFs of unknown function designated E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ. We generated a HAdV-3 mutant encoding small epitope tags at the N-termini of both E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ (HAdV-3 N-tag wt) and a double knock out (HAdV-3 N-tag DKO) mutant virus that does not express either protein. Our studies show that HAdV-3 E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ are type I transmembrane proteins that are produced predominantly at late times post infection, are glycosylated, co-localize at the plasma membrane of non-polarized epithelial cells, and interact with each other. At their extreme C-termini HAdV-B E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ possess a conserved di-leucine motif followed by a class II PDZ domain binding motif (PBM). HAdV-3 E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ are dispensable for virus growth, progeny release, spread, and plaque formation in A549 cells. HAdV-B E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ are type I transmembrane proteins. HAdV-B E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ possess a C-terminal class II PDZ binding motif. HAdV-3 E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ interact and co-localize at the plasma membrane. HAdV-3 E3-CR1β and E3-CR1γ are dispensable for virus progeny release and spread.

Abstract
Respiratory tract viral infection caused by viruses or bacteria is one of the most common diseases in human worldwide, while those caused by emerging viruses, such as the novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV that caused the pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China most recently, have posed great threats to global public health. Identification of the causative viral pathogens of respiratory tract viral infections is important to select an appropriate treatment, save people's lives, stop the epidemics, and avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. Conventional diagnostic tests, such as the assays for rapid detection of antiviral antibodies or viral antigens, are widely used in many clinical laboratories. With the development of modern technologies, new diagnostic strategies, including multiplex nucleic acid amplification and microarray-based assays, are emerging. This review summarizes currently available and novel emerging diagnostic methods for the detection of common respiratory viruses, such as influenza virus, human respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus, human adenovirus, and human rhinovirus. Multiplex assays for simultaneous detection of multiple respiratory viruses are also described. It is anticipated that such data will assist researchers and clinicians to develop appropriate diagnostic strategies for timely and effective detection of respiratory virus infections.

Abstract
Detection of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in nasopharyngeal swab samples by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) will be valuable for diagnosing HAdV infection, which is a leading cause of severe respiratory tract disease, and will help in curbing the spread of HAdV. Monoclonal antibodies employed in IFA for HAdV detection should ideally target highly conserved epitope types. Here, we describe the development of two antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) with specific reactivity to HAdV using phage antibody library technology. When tested with IFA, both Fabs recognized cells infected with several types of HAdV, some of which have been identified in epidemics globally, or associated with outbreaks of severe or fatal acute respiratory diseases. The specificity and cross-reactivity of both Fabs to HAdVs indicated that the generated Fabs could be applied in the development of IFAs to detect HAdVs. Both Fabs bound to the knob proteins, as shown by chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay and western blot. In addition, epitope mapping showed that both Fabs recognized a conserved linear epitope among several types of HAdV. Two different Fabs recognized the same epitope, suggesting that the epitope triggered the production of at least two kinds of antibodies in the body. The generated Fabs exerted no neutralization against HAdVs. The results demonstrate that both Fabs bind to an epitope that plays no role in neutralization of HAdV.

Rapid Construction of a Replication-Competent Infectious Clone of Human Adenovirus Type 14 by Gibson Assembly. Viruses 2018; 10:v10100568.

Abstract
In 1955, Human adenovirus type 14 (HAdV-B14p) was firstly identified in a military trainee diagnosed as acute respiratory disease (ARD) in the Netherlands. Fifty years later, a genomic variant, HAdV-B14p1, re-emerged in the U.S. and caused large and fatal ARD outbreaks. Subsequently, more and more ARD outbreaks occurred in Canada, the UK, Ireland, and China, in both military and civil settings. To generate a tool for the efficient characterization of this new genomic variant, a full-length infectious genomic clone of HAdV-B14 was successfully constructed using one-step Gibson Assembly method in this study. Firstly, the full genome of HAdV-B14p1 strain GZ01, the first HAdV-B14 isolate in China, was assembled into pBR322 plasmid by Gibson Assembly. The pBRAdV14 plasmid, generated by Gibson Assembly, was analyzed and verified by PCR, restriction enzymes digestion and the sequencing. Secondly, viruses were rescued from pBRAdV14-transfected A549 cells. The integrity of the rescued viruses was identified by restriction enzyme analysis. The complete sequence of the infectious clone was further sequenced. No mutation was found in the infectious clone during the construction when compared with the parental virus and pBR322 sequences. The direct immunofluorescence assay indicated the expression of the hexon protein. Finally, typical virions were observed; the one-step growth curves further showed that the DNA replication and viral reproduction efficiency of pBRAd14 derived viruses was similar with that of wild-type HAdV-B14 strain. The successful construction of the replication-competent infectious clone of pBRAdV14 facilitates the development of vaccine and antiviral drugs against HAdV-B14, as well as provides a novel strategy for rapid construction of infectious viral clones for other large-genome DNA viruses.

Abstract
Human adenovirus (HAdV) is increasingly recognized as a major cause of human respiratory tract viral infections. Its outbreaks and epidemics in various populations resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a rapid and specific assay for HAdV in clinical samples is of crucial importance to diagnosing HAdV infections. The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the rapid detection and accurate quantification of HAdV B, C and E. The lower limit of detection for this assay was two genomic copies per reaction, and quantitative linearity ranged from 2 to 2×106 copies per reaction of the input viral DNA. Furthermore, 3,160 throat swab samples that tested HAdV negative by the immunofluorescence assay were collected and retested using the multiplex qPCR assay. The results showed that 2,906 samples were HAdV negative and the other 254 samples were HAdV positive. The HAdV species identified included B (184 samples), C (51 samples), and E (39 samples). Among the three HAdV species, HAdV B and E were detected from 8 samples, and HAdV C and E were detected from other 12 samples. The overall results demonstrated that the sensitivity and specificity of the proposed assay were 100% (254/254) and 99.6% (2894/2906), respectively. From the perspective of routine clinical diagnosis, this assay represented a rapid (≤1.5 h) and economic strategy, and had the potential to be used for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of human respiratory infections caused by HAdV B, C and E.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Re-emergent Human Adenovirus Type 55 Pathogens Associated With Adult Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia Reveals Conserved Genomes and Capsid Proteins. Front Microbiol 2018; 9:1180. [PMID: 29922263 PMCID: PMC5996824 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.01180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2018] [Accepted: 05/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Human adenovirus type 55 (HAdV-B55) is a recently identified acute respiratory disease (ARD) pathogen in HAdV species B with a recombinant genome between renal HAdV-B11 and respiratory HAdV-B14. Since HAdV-B55 first appeared in China school in 2006, no more ARD cases associated with it had been reported until 2011, when there was an outbreak of adult severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Beijing, China. Reported here is the bioinformatics analysis of the re-emergent HAdV-B55 responsible for this outbreak. Recombination and protein sequence analysis re-confirmed that this isolate (BJ01) was a recombinant virus with the capsid hexon gene from HAdV-B11. The selection pressures for the three capsid proteins, i.e., hexon, penton base, and fiber genes, were all negative, along with very low non-synonymous (dN) and synonymous (dS) substitutions/site (<0.0007). Phylogenetic analyses of the whole genome and the three major capsid genes of HAdV-B55 revealed the close phylogenetic relationship among all HAdV-B55 strains. Comparative genomic analysis of this re-emergent HAdV-B55 strain (BJ01; 2011) with the first HAdV-B55 strain (QS-DLL; 2006) showed the high genome identity (99.87%), including 10 single-nucleotide non-synonymous substitutions, 11 synonymous substitutions, 3 insertions, and one deletion in non-coding regions. The major non-synonymous substitutions (6 of 10) occurred in the protein pVI in its L3 region, which protein has different functions at various stages of an adenovirus infection, and may be associated with the population distribution of HAdV-B55 infection. No non-synonymous substitutions were found in the three major capsid proteins, which proteins are responsible for type-specific neutralizing antibodies. Comparative genomic analysis of the re-emergent HAdV-B55 strains associated with adult severe CAP revealed conserved genome and capsid proteins, providing the foundation for the development of effective vaccines against this pathogen. This study also facilitates the further investigation of HAdV-B55 epidemiology, molecular evolution, patterns of pathogen emergence and re-emergence, and the predication of genome recombination between adenoviruses.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an update on recent studies of human adenoviral (HAdV) infections and to explore the mechanisms of viral persistence and the role of persistent infection in disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. RECENT FINDINGS Human adenoviruses continue to be a problem in ophthalmology clinics and to cause periodic, limited, global outbreaks of respiratory disease. Ad14p1 remains in worldwide circulation and continues to result in miniepidemics of severe respiratory infections. New variants of Ad4 and Ad7 have emerged in both the United States and Asia. The severity of Ad4 infections in outbreaks appears to depend more on preexisting conditions in patients than on genetically determined, viral virulence factors, in contrast to limited evidence of Ad7 mutations that may convey increased viral pathogenesis. Reactivation of persistent adenovirus infection appears to be the primary source of disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients. New studies suggest that establishment of persistent infection and reactivation are related to variations in interferon-mediated control of viral replication. SUMMARY Innate immune responses can create a state of adenoviral persistence, and repression of these host defenses can result in reactivation and dissemination of infection. A better definition of the molecular mechanisms of immune-mediated control of viral replication might lead to new strategies for treatment of HAdV reactivation and dissemination.
