Abstract
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus that has caused significant economic losses to the grouper aquaculture industry. So far, the structure and function of SGIV proteins have been successively reported. In the present paper, the protein of SGIV VP146 was cloned and identified. VP146 was whole-cell distributed in GS cells. VP146 promoted SGIV replication and inhibited the transcription of interferon-related genes as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines in GS cells. In addition, VP146 was involved in the regulation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, and decreased cGAS-STING induced the promoter of ISRE and NF-κB. VP146 interacted with the proteins of cGAS, STING, TBK1, and IRF3 from grouper, but did not affect the binding of grouper STING to grouper TBK1 and grouper IRF3. Interestingly, grouper STING was able to affect the intracellular localization of VP146. Four segment structural domains of grouper STING were constructed, and grouper STING-CTT could affect the intracellular localization of VP146. VP146 had no effect on the self-binding of EcSITNG, nor on the binding of EcSTING to EcTBK1 and EcIRF3. Together, the results demonstrated that SGIV VP146 modulated the cGAS-STING signaling pathway to escape the interferon immune response.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 145:109349. [PMID: 38184183 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), belonging to genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae, is a highly pathogenic agent and causes heavy economic losses in the global grouper aquaculture. Recent studies demonstrated that SGIV infection attenuated antiviral immune and inflammatory response induced by poly (I:C) in vitro. However, little was known about the potential functions of the immune regulatory proteins encoded by SGIV. Here, we identified the detailed roles of VP20 and clarified the potential mechanism underlying its immune regulatory function during SGIV infection. Our results showed that VP20 was an IE gene, and partially co-localized with Golgi apparatus and lysosomes in grouper cells. Overexpression of VP20 enhanced SGIV replication, demonstrated by the increase in the transcription levels of viral core genes and the protein synthesis of MCP. Reporter gene assays showed that SGIV VP20 overexpression significantly reduced the IFN promoter activity induced by poly (I:C), grouper stimulator of interferon genes (EcSTING) and TANK-binding kinase 1 (EcTBK1). Consistently, the transcription levels of IFN related genes were significantly decreased in VP20 overexpressing cells compared to those in control cells. Co-IP assay and confocal microscopy observations indicated that VP20 co-localized and interacted with EcTBK1 and EcIRF3, but not EcSTING. In addition, VP20 was able to degrade EcIRF3 and attenuate the antiviral action of EcIRF3, while had no effect on EcTBK1. Together, SGIV VP20 was speculated to promote viral replication through attenuating the IFN response mediated by TBK1-IRF3 in vitro. Our findings provided new insights into the immune regulatory function of SGIV encoded unknown proteins.

Abstract
Genomic studies of viral diseases in aquaculture have received more and more attention with the growth of the aquaculture industry, especially the emerging and re-emerging viruses whose genome could contain recombination, mutation, insertion, and so on, and may lead to more severe diseases and more widespread infections in aquaculture animals. The present review is focused on aquaculture viruses, which is belonged to two clades, Varidnaviria and Duplodnaviria, and one class Naldaviricetes, and respectively three families: Iridoviridae (ranaviruses), Alloherpesviridae (fish herpesviruses), and Nimaviridae (whispoviruses). The viruses possessed DNA genomes nearly or larger than 100 kbp with gene numbers more than 100 and were considered large DNA viruses. Genome analysis and experimental investigation have identified several genes involved in genome replication, transcription, and virus-host interactions. In addition, some genes involved in virus genetic variation or specificity were also discussed. A summary of these advances would provide reference to future discovery and research on emerging or re-emerging aquaculture viruses.

Abstract
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that alter host metabolic machinery to obtain energy and macromolecules that are pivotal for replication. Ranavirus, including the type species of the genus frog virus 3 (FV3), represent an ecologically important group of viruses that infect fish, amphibians, and reptiles. It was established that fatty acid synthesis, glucose, and glutamine metabolism exert roles during iridovirus infections; however, no information exists regarding the role of purine metabolism. In this study, we assessed the impact of exogenously applied purines adenine, adenosine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP), inosine, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH), and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) on FV3 replication. We found that all compounds except for SAH increased FV3 replication in a dose-dependent manner. Of the purines investigated, adenine and adenosine produced the most robust response, increasing FV3 replication by 58% and 51%, respectively. While all compounds except SAH increased FV3 replication, only adenine increased plaque area. This suggests that the stimulatory effect of adenine on FV3 replication is mediated by a mechanism that is at least in part independent from the other compounds investigated. Our results are the first to report a response to exogenously applied purines and may provide insight into the importance of purine metabolism during iridoviral infection.

Abstract
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), with various mechanisms for evading and modulating host, has inflicted heavy economic losses in the grouper aquaculture. MAP kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) regulates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) to mediate the innate immune response. Here, we cloned EcMKP-1, an MKP-1 homolog from the orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides, and investigated its role in the infection of SGIV. In juvenile grouper, EcMKP-1 was highly upregulated and peaked at different times after injection with lipopolysaccharide, polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid and SGIV. EcMKP-1 expression in heterologous fathead minnow cells was able to suppress SGIV infection and replication. Furthermore, EcMKP-1 was a negative regulator of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation early in SGIV infection. EcMKP-1 decreased the apoptotic percentage and caspase-3 activity during the late stage of SGIV replication. Our results demonstrate critical functions of EcMKP-1 in antiviral immunity, JNK dephosphorylation and anti-apoptosis during SGIV infection.

Abstract
(1) Background: Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) can cause extensive fish deaths. Therefore, developing treatments to combat virulent SGIV is of great economic importance to address this challenge to the grouper aquaculture industry. Green tea is an important medicinal and edible plant throughout the world. In this study, we evaluated the use of green tea components against SGIV infection. (2) Methods: The safe working concentrations of green tea components were identified by cell viability detection and light microscopy. Additionally, the antiviral activity of each green tea component against SGIV infection was determined with light microscopy, an aptamer (Q5c)-based fluorescent molecular probe, and reverse transcription quantitative PCR. (3) Results: The safe working concentrations of green tea components were green tea aqueous extract (GTAE) ≤ 100 μg/mL, green tea polyphenols (TP) ≤ 10 μg/mL, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) ≤ 12 μg/mL, (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) ≤ 10 μg/mL, (-)-epicatechin gallate (EGC) ≤ 5 μg/mL, and (-)-epicatechin (EC) ≤ 50 μg/mL. The relative antiviral activities of the green tea components determined in terms of MCP gene expression were TP > EGCG > GTAE > ECG > EGC > EC, with inhibition rates of 99.34%, 98.31%, 98.23%, 88.62%, 73.80%, and 44.31%, respectively. The antiviral effect of aptamer-Q5c was consistent with the results of qPCR. Also, TP had an excellent antiviral effect in vitro, wherein the mortality of fish in only the SGIV-injection group and TP + SGIV-injection group were 100% and 11.67%, respectively. (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, our results suggest that green tea components have effective antiviral properties against SGIV and may be candidate agents for the effective treatment and control of SGIV infections in grouper aquaculture.

Abstract
Virus-encoded tumor necrosis factor receptors (vTNFRs) facilitate viral escape from the host immune response during viral propagation. Cyprinid Herpesvirus-2 (CyHV-2) is a double-stranded DNA virus of alloherpesviridae family that causes great economic losses in the aquaculture industry. The present study identified and characterized a novel TNFR homolog termed ORF4 in CyHV-2. ORF4 was identified as a secreted protein and a homolog of herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). ORF4 localized to the cytoplasm in infected GiCF cells. ORF4 overexpression enhanced viral propagation, while downregulation of ORF4 via siRNA decreased viral propagation. ORF4 overexpression promoted GiCF proliferation, and its downregulation suppressed CyHV-2-induced apoptosis. GST-pulldown and LC-MS/MS assays identified 44 conditional binding proteins that interact with ORF4 protein, while the GST pulldown test did not support the idea that ORF4 interact with histone H3.3. Taken together, our results contribute to our understanding of the vTNFR function in alloherpesviridae pathogenesis and host immune regulation.

Abstract
Palmitic acid is the most common saturated fatty acid in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Studies highlighted that palmitic acid plays a significant role in diverse cellular processes and viral infections. Accumulation of palmitic acid was observed in fish cells (grouper spleen, GS) infected with Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV). The fluctuated content levels after viral infection suggested that palmitic acid was functional in virus-cell interactions. In order to investigate the roles of palmitic acid in SGIV infection, the effects of palmitic acid on SGIV induced cytopathic effect, expression levels of viral genes, viral proteins, as well as virus production were evaluated. The infection and replication of SGIV were increased after exogenous addition of palmitic acid but suppressed after knockdown of fatty acid synthase (FASN), of which the primary function was to catalyze palmitate synthesis. Besides, the promotion of virus replication was associated with the down-regulating of interferon-related molecules, and the reduction of IFN1 and ISRE promotor activities by palmitic acid. We also discovered that palmitic acid restricted TBK1, but not MDA5-induced interferon immune responses. On the other hand, palmitic acid decreased autophagy flux in GS cells via suppressing autophagic degradation, and subsequently enhanced viral replication. Together, our findings indicate that palmitic acid is not only a negative regulator of TBK1-IRF3/7 pathway, but also a suppressor of autophagic flux. Finally, palmitic acid promotes the replication of SGIV in fish cells.

Abstract
Ranaviruses belong to the family Iridoviridae, and have become a serious threat to both farmed and natural populations of fish and amphibians. Previous reports showed that ranaviruses could encode viral Bcl-2 family-like proteins (vBcl-2), which play a critical role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. However, the mechanism of ranaviruses vBcl-2 interactions with host protein in mediating apoptosis remains unknown. Tiger frog virus (TFV) belonging to the genus Ranavirus has been isolated from infected tadpoles of Rana tigrina rugulosa, and it causes a high mortality rate among tiger frog tadpoles cultured in southern China. This study elucidated the molecular mechanism underlying the interaction of TFV ORF104R with the VDAC2 protein to regulate cell apoptosis. TFV ORF104R is highly similar to other ranaviruses vBcl-2 and host Mcl-1 proteins, indicating that TFV ORF104R is a postulate vBcl-2 protein. Transcription and protein expression levels showed that TFV orf104r was a late viral gene. Western blot results suggested that TFV ORF104R was a viral structural protein. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that TFV ORF104R was predominantly colocalized with the mitochondria. Overexpressed TFV ORF104R could suppress the release of cytochrome C and the activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3. These results indicated that TFV ORF104R might play an important role in anti-apoptosis. Furthermore, the interaction between TFV ORF104R and VDAC2 was detected by co-immunoprecipitation in vitro. The above observations suggest that the molecular mechanism of TFV-regulated anti-apoptosis is through the interaction of TFV ORF104R with the VDAC2 protein. Our study provided a mechanistic basis for the ranaviruses vBcl-2-mediated inhibition of apoptosis and improved the understanding on how TFV subverts host defense mechanisms in vivo.

[PMID: 30557608 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.12.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Revised: 12/09/2018] [Accepted: 12/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Viruses are important and lethal pathogens that hamper aquatic animals. The result of the battle between host and virus would determine the occurrence of diseases. The host will fight against virus infection with various responses such as innate immunity, adaptive immunity, apoptosis, and so on. On the other hand, the virus also develops numerous strategies such as immune evasion to antagonize host antiviral responses. Here, We review the research advances on virus mediated immune evasions to host responses containing interferon response, NF-κB signaling, apoptosis, and adaptive response, which are executed by viral genes, proteins, and miRNAs from different aquatic animal viruses including Alloherpesviridae, Iridoviridae, Nimaviridae, Birnaviridae, Reoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Thus, it will facilitate the understanding of aquatic animal virus mediated immune evasion and potentially benefit the development of novel antiviral applications.

Abstract
Overcrowding conditions and temperatures shifts regularly manifest in large-scale infections of farmed fish, resulting in economic losses for the global aquaculture industries. Increased understanding of the functional mechanisms of fish antimicrobial host defenses is an important step forward in prevention of pathogen-induced morbidity and mortality in aquaculture setting. Like other vertebrates, macrophage-lineage cells are integral to fish immune responses and for this reason, much of the recent fish immunology research has focused on fish macrophage biology. These studies have revealed notable similarities as well as striking differences in the molecular strategies by which fish and higher vertebrates control their respective macrophage polarization and functionality. In this review, we address the current understanding of the biological mechanisms of teleost macrophage functional heterogeneity and immunity, focusing on the key cytokine regulators that control fish macrophage development and their antimicrobial armamentarium.

Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) TNFR homolog VP51 functions as a virulence factor via modulating host inflammation response. Virology 2017; 511:280-289. [PMID: 28689858 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2017.06.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2017] [Revised: 06/19/2017] [Accepted: 06/21/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Virus encoded tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) homologues are usually involved in immune evasion by regulating host immune response or cell death. Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a novel ranavirus which causes great economic losses in aquaculture industry. Previous studies demonstrated that SGIV VP51, a TNFR-like protein regulated apoptotic process in VP51 overexpression cells. Here, we developed a VP51-deleted recombinant virus Δ51-SGIV by replacing VP51 with puroR-GFP. Deletion of VP51 resulted in the decrease of SGIV virulence, evidenced by the reduced replication in vitro and the decreased cumulative mortalities in Δ51-SGIV challenged grouper compared to WT-SGIV. Moreover, VP51 deletion significantly increased virus induced apoptosis, and reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro. In addition, the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes were decreased in Δ51-SGIV infected grouper compared to WT-SGIV. Thus, we speculate that SGIV VP51 functions as a critical virulence factor via regulating host cell apoptosis and inflammation response.
