Human Mastadenovirus Infections in Children: A Review of the Current Status in the Arab World in the Middle East and North Africa. CHILDREN 2022; 9:children9091356. [PMID: 36138665 PMCID: PMC9497993 DOI: 10.3390/children9091356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Human mastadenovirus (HAdV) is a non-enveloped icosahedral virus with double-stranded DNA genomes. The mortality rate of HAdV infections can reach 35.5%, while gastroenteritis HAdV infections, HAdV pneumonia, and disseminated disease tend to show a worse outcome, with rates ranging from 44.2% to 50%. In addition, HAdV can cause infections at any age but most commonly in the pediatric population, especially in young children and infants. Therefore, this review aims to assess the current status of HAdV infections among children in the Arab World, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases for publications in English were searched up to July 2022 for relevant articles. The literature search yielded a total of 21 studies, which were included in this review. Studies reporting HAdV infections in children were conducted in 17 out of the 22 countries. The average prevalence rate of HAdV infections in children was 12.7%, with average prevalence rates of 12.82% and 12.58% in the Middle East and North African countries, respectively. The highest prevalence rate (28.3%) was reported in Egypt, whereas the lowest prevalence (1.5%) was reported in Sudan. The included studies presented children with signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis, acute respiratory infection, acute diarrhea, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. In conclusion, the average prevalence rate of HAdV infections in children was 12.7%, with average prevalence rates of 12.82% and 12.58% in the Middle East and North African countries, respectively. Finding the precise prevalence rate of this virus is crucial because it will guide future planning for effective disease control and the selection of particular treatment options during epidemics and special seasons.

Abstract
Goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells that are essential to the formation of the mucus barriers in the airways and intestines. Armed with an arsenal of defenses, goblet cells can rapidly respond to infection but must balance this response with maintaining homeostasis. Whereas goblet cell defenses against bacterial and parasitic infections have been characterized, we are just beginning to understand their responses to viral infections. Here, we outline what is known about the enteric and respiratory viruses that target goblet cells, the direct and bystander effects caused by viral infection and how viral interactions with the mucus barrier can alter the course of infection. Together, these factors can play a significant role in driving viral pathogenesis and disease outcomes.

Abstract
Small laboratory animals are powerful models for investigating in vivo viral pathogenesis of a number of viruses. For adenoviruses (AdVs), however, species-specificity poses limitations to studying human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in mice and other small laboratory animals. Thus, this review covers work on naturally occurring mouse AdVs, primarily mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAdV-1), a member of the species Murine mastadenovirus A. Molecular genetics, virus life cycle, cell and tissue tropism, interactions with the host immune response, persistence, and host genetics of susceptibility are described. A brief discussion of MAdV-2 (member of species Murine mastadenovirus B) and MAdV-3 (member of species Murine mastadenovirus C) is included. We report the use of MAdVs in the development of vectors and vaccines.

Abstract
Murine adenovirus 2 (MAdV-2) infects cells of the mouse gastrointestinal tract. Like human adenoviruses, it is a member of the genus Mastadenovirus, family Adenoviridae. The MAdV-2 genome has a single fibre gene that expresses a 787 residue-long protein. Through analogy to other adenovirus fibre proteins, it is expected that the carboxy-terminal virus-distal head domain of the fibre is responsible for binding to the host cell, although the natural receptor is unknown. The putative head domain has little sequence identity to adenovirus fibres of known structure. In this report, we present high-resolution crystal structures of the carboxy-terminal part of the MAdV-2 fibre. The structures reveal a domain with the typical adenovirus fibre head topology and a domain containing two triple β-spiral repeats of the shaft domain. Through glycan microarray profiling, saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry and site-directed mutagenesis, we show that the fibre specifically binds to the monosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). The crystal structure of the complex reveals that GlcNAc binds between the AB and CD loops at the top of each of the three monomers of the MAdV-2 fibre head. However, infection competition assays show that soluble GlcNAc monosaccharide and natural GlcNAc-containing polymers do not inhibit infection by MAdV-2. Furthermore, site-directed mutation of the GlcNAc-binding residues does not prevent the inhibition of infection by soluble fibre protein. On the other hand, we show that the MAdV-2 fibre protein binds GlcNAc-containing mucin glycans, which suggests that the MAdV-2 fibre protein may play a role in viral mucin penetration in the mouse gut.

Abstract
The enteric species F human adenovirus types 40 and 41 (HAdV-40 and -41) are the third most common cause of infantile gastroenteritis in the world. Knowledge about HAdV-40 and -41 cellular infection is assumed to be fundamentally different from that of other HAdVs since HAdV-40 and -41 penton bases lack the αV-integrin-interacting RGD motif. This motif is used by other HAdVs mainly for internalization and endosomal escape. We hypothesised that the penton bases of HAdV-40 and -41 interact with integrins independently of the RGD motif. HAdV-41 transduction of a library of rodent cells expressing specific human integrin subunits pointed to the use of laminin-binding α2-, α3- and α6-containing integrins as well as other integrins as candidate co-receptors. Specific laminins prevented internalisation and infection, and recombinant, soluble HAdV-41 penton base proteins prevented infection of human intestinal HT-29 cells. Surface plasmon resonance analysis demonstrated that HAdV-40 and -41 penton base proteins bind to α6-containing integrins with an affinity similar to that of previously characterised penton base:integrin interactions. With these results, we propose that laminin-binding integrins are co-receptors for HAdV-40 and -41.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdV) are significant human pathogens. Although only a subset of HAdV serotypes commonly cause gastroenteritis in humans, most HAdV species replicate in the gastrointestinal tract. Knowledge of the complex interaction between HAdVs and the human intestinal epithelium has been limited by the lack of a suitable cell culture system containing relevant cell types. Recently, this need has been met by the stable and prolonged cultivation of primary intestinal epithelial cells as enteroids. Human enteroids have been used to reveal novel and interesting aspects of rotavirus, norovirus, and enterovirus replication, prompting us to explore their suitability for HAdV culture. We found that both prototype strains and clinical isolates of enteric and nonenteric HAdVs productively replicate in human enteroids. HAdV-5p, a respiratory pathogen, and HAdV-41p, an enteric pathogen, are both sensitive to type I and III interferons in human enteroid monolayers but not A549 cells. Interestingly, HAdV-5p, but not HAdV-41p, preferentially infected goblet cells. And, HAdV-5p but not HAdV-41p was potently neutralized by the enteric human alpha-defensin HD5. These studies highlight new facets of HAdV biology that are uniquely revealed by primary intestinal epithelial cell culture.IMPORTANCE Enteric adenoviruses are a significant cause of childhood gastroenteritis worldwide, yet our understanding of their unique biology is limited. Here we report robust replication of both prototype and clinical isolates of enteric and respiratory human adenoviruses in enteroids, a primary intestinal cell culture system. Recent studies have shown that other fastidious enteric viruses replicate in human enteroids. Therefore, human enteroids may provide a unified platform for culturing enteric viruses, potentially enabling isolation of a greater diversity of viruses from patients. Moreover, both the ability of interferon to restrict respiratory and enteric adenoviruses and a surprising preference of a respiratory serotype for goblet cells demonstrate the power of this culture system to uncover aspects of adenovirus biology that were previously unattainable with standard cell lines.

Abstract
Paneth cells are major secretory cells located in the crypts of Lieberkühn in the small intestine. Our understanding of the diverse roles that Paneth cells play in homeostasis and disease has grown substantially since their discovery over a hundred years ago. Classically, Paneth cells have been characterized as a significant source of antimicrobial peptides and proteins important in host defense and shaping the composition of the commensal microbiota. More recently, Paneth cells have been shown to supply key developmental and homeostatic signals to intestinal stem cells in the crypt base. Paneth cell dysfunction leading to dysbiosis and a compromised epithelial barrier have been implicated in the etiology of Crohn’s disease and susceptibility to enteric bacterial infection. Our understanding of the impact of Paneth cells on viral infection is incomplete. Enteric α-defensins, produced by Paneth cells, can directly alter viral infection. In addition, α-defensins and other antimicrobial Paneth cell products may modulate viral infection indirectly by impacting the microbiome. Here, we discuss recent insights into Paneth cell biology, models to study their function, and the impact, both direct and indirect, of Paneth cells on enteric viral infection.

Abstract
Features and pathogenesis of adenoviral pancreatitis in rhesus monkeys were studied with an immunofluorescence staining procedure on tissues from two previously documented cases. Fluorescing adenovirus antigen in epithelial cells of the pancreatic ducts, duodenum, and jejunum suggests that under as yet undefined conditions, a primary adenovirus infection of the gastrointestinal tract ascends to the pancreatic parenchyma via pancreatic ducts. In a retrospective survey, over 3,000 microslides of pancreas taken at necropsy from several species of nonhuman primates (1,002 animals) were studied to determine the incidence of and species susceptibility to adenoviral pancreatitis. Other than the two documented cases from our files, we found comparable lesions in only one rhesus monkey. Adenoviral pancreatitis seems to be a distinct entity in rhesus monkeys, and it should be considered when pancreatitis is found in this species. Our findings also suggest a possible viral cause for some cases of pancreatitis in man.

Abstract
It has been recently recognized that adenovirus is a pathogen with high morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients, particularly after solid organ or stem cell transplant. Confluent necrotizing hepatitis secondary to adenovirus infection alone or together with other organ involvement is extremely rare. There are only 32 cases of confluent necrotizing hepatitis reported in adults since 1960 and most occur after iatrogenic immunosuppression for bone marrow or solid organ transplantation or in other states of immunosuppression, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or chemotherapy treatment. We present the first case of concurrent adenovirus-induced necrotizing hepatitis and enterocolitis in an adult patient after double cord stem cell transplant for refractory Crohn's disease. Additionally, we report the imaging and morphologic findings and discuss the potential significance of morphology and immunohistochemistry as a practical approach for identifying adenovirus.

Abstract
Murine adenoviruses (MAdV) are supposedly the oldest members of the genus Mastadenovirus. Currently, there are three distinct MAdV types known with rather different tropism and pathology. Here we report and annotate the DNA sequence of the full genome of MAdV-2. It was found to consist of 35,203 bp thus being considerably larger than the genomes of the other two MAdV types. The increased size of the MAdV-2 genome is generally due to larger genes and ORFs, although some differences in the number of ORFs were observed for the early regions E1, E3 and E4. The homologue of the 19K gene of E1B from MAdV-2 codes for 330 amino acids (aa) and is almost twice as large as from other mastadenoviruses. Accordingly, only the N-terminal half (155aa) has homology to the 19K protein. A homologue of the gene of the 12.5K protein was identified in the E3 region of MAdV-2, but not in MAdV-1 or MAdV-3. The other gene of yet unknown function in the E3 region of MAdV-2 seems to be unique. The E4 region of MAdV-2 contains three ORFs. One has similarity to the 34K gene of other AdVs. Two unique ORFs in the E4 region of MAdV-2 have no homology to any of the five and six ORFs in the E4 region of MAdV-1 or MAdV-3, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the three murine AdVs have a close common ancestor. They likely formed the first branching of the lineage of mastadenoviruses, and seem to be the most ancient representatives of this genus.

Abstract
The 41 serotypes of human adenoviruses are classified into six subgenera (A-F) with different tropisms. Enteric infections are caused in children by serotypes Ad40 and Ad41 of subgenus F. Serotypes Ad40 and Ad41 transform embryonic cells but cannot induce tumours in newborn hamsters. They differ from all other (established) human adenoviruses by being unable to replicate in conventional cell cultures. Ad40 and Ad41 grow in 293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells immortalized by transfection with the E1A, E1B regions of Ad5). In spite of the difficulty of isolating Ad40 and Ad41 they can be directly identified in stools by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and solid-phase immuno-electron microscopy. The amount of viral DNA in stool preparations is sufficient for identification by DNA restriction or dot-blot analysis. Adenoviruses have been associated with 7-17% of cases of diarrhoea in children. Ad40 and Ad41 cause diarrhoea throughout the year. Clinical features are watery stools, vomiting and moderately elevated temperature; respiratory symptoms are infrequent. The diarrhoea is protracted (mean 8.6 and 12.2 days for Ad40 and Ad41 respectively). Children with rotavirus diarrhoea vomited more frequently and had a higher temperature and diarrhoea of shorter duration. The impact of enteric adenoviruses in the aetiology of diarrhoea world-wide is not known but is accessible to investigation.

Abstract
To examine age-related changes in the morphology of intestinal brush border membrane (BBM; microvilli) and specific activities of intestinal BBM enzymes including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT), and disacchridase, four groups of Wistar rats were sacrificed at 2.5 wk, 5 wk, 5 mon and 23 mon. In an electron microscopic examination, morphologically a less dense BBM structure in the duodenum of rats aged 23 mon was observed than that of rats aged 5 mon. Specific activity of ALP in the duodenum from 5-mon-old rats was significantly higher than from rats aged 2.5 wk and 23 mon. The mucosal tissues from 5-wk-old rats had significantly higher specific activity of gamma-GT than did tissues from the other ages. In sucrase and maltase specific activities, 5-mon-old rats had higher activities of these enzymes than other age groups, especially 2.5-wk- and 23-mon-old rats. There was also a significant effect of site on intestinal BBM enzyme activities in post-weanling rats. Regional gradients of ALP and gamma-GT along the entire small intestine (duodenum > jejunum > ileum) were remarkable. Disaccharidase activities peaked in the jejunum and declined toward both the duodenum and ileum. Taken together the result obtained here suggested that 5-mon-old rats had the most elevated intestinal function. This result also strongly indicated that the structure of the intestinal BBM and development of intestinal BBM enzymes in Wistar rate were markedly influenced by age during the postnatal period.

Abstract
Laboratory mice, rats, and rabbits may harbor a variety of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal agents. Frequently, these organisms cause no overt signs of disease. However, many of the natural pathogens of these laboratory animals may alter host physiology, rendering the host unsuitable for many experimental uses. While the number and prevalence of these pathogens have declined considerably, many still turn up in laboratory animals and represent unwanted variables in research. Investigators using mice, rats, and rabbits in biomedical experimentation should be aware of the profound effects that many of these agents can have on research.

Abstract
The growth, stability and seroprevalence in laboratory rodents of the two known strains of mouse adenovirus were compared. The FL strain of mouse adenovirus grew in both L 929 murine fibroblasts and in CMT-93 murine rectal carcinoma cells, whereas the K 87 strain grew only in CMT-93 cells. The bulk of the FL progeny virus was released from the host cells. K 87 virus was largely cell-associated. Both virus strains were stable at 37 degrees C in liquid medium. The K 87 strain was completely inactivated after 5-15 minutes at 56 degrees C, whereas FL infectivity was still detected after two hours at this temperature. Both virus strains were stable in the dessicated state for 14 days, although FL viability was more dependent on the presence of protein in the virus diluent. Seroepidemiologic data suggest that viruses antigenically related to mouse adenovirus are more prevalent among laboratory rats than among laboratory mice and that the virus(es) infecting rats differ from those infecting mice. Results of retrospective serologic testing suggest an association between mouse adenovirus and an outbreak of disease in a mouse breeding colony.

Abstract
Oral administration of adenovirus strain K87 to BALB/c nude mice resulted in viral proliferation in the intestinal tract up to around week 6 at which point replication was suppressed. In other words, the host acquired resistance. However, this resistance was temporary and the viral infection persisted over a long period with repeated periods of proliferation and resistance. That the appearance of this resistance is the result of infecting mice with the virus and is not due to age difference per se was made clear through experimentation with nude mice of different age groups. However, it was indicated that increase in age is involved in the decreased rate of reproliferation following initial suppression. No evidence of the virus was obtained from any other organ throughout the infection. Furthermore, throughout the persistent infection, even during the aforementioned periods of resistance, no neutralizing antibody was detected from sera, intestinal wall or intestinal content. When spleen cells from BALB/c heterozygous littermate mice was transferred to the nude mice, an earlier onset of antiviral resistance was seen than in nude mice without the transfer, and this was accompanied by a rise in neutralizing antibody titer. From these results, it is believed that the resistance characteristic of nude mice infected by mouse adenovirus is dependent on some factor other than the neutralizing antibody invoked resistance exhibited by euthymic mice.

Abstract
Five gnotobiotic piglets inoculated orally with porcine rotavirus developed an enteric lesion. Electron microscopy of the mucosal epithelium 12 h after inoculation showed that the virus penetrates into the absorptive cells between microvilli, possibly by a pinocytic mechanism. Afterwards, virus particles were most often seen within dilated cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). These infected cells showed a range of changes, such as disruption of the microvilli, loss of cytoplasmic density and deposition of lipid droplets. Subsequently, most of the epithelial cells were desquamated from the villi. The interaction of virus and intestinal cells thus indicates that rotavirus is pathogenic for the epithelial cells.

Abstract
The sequential enteric lesions of experimental porcine adenovirus strain 6618 infection were studied in 18 hysterotomy-derived, colostrum-deprived piglets, by histology, transmission electron microscopy, and an immunoperoxidase technique. Viral particles could be seen in altered epithelial cells of the lower small intestine from 24 hours until 16 days after inoculation. With the immunoperoxidase technique, viral antigen could be found in epithelial cells at 45 days after challenge. Destruction of epithelial cells and shortening of villi could be related directly to the presence of the virus. Histology of the lower jejunum and ileum, which demonstrates intranuclear inclusion bodies, is proposed as a useful diagnostic technique.

Abstract
The replication of an enteropathogenic porcine adenovirus in the intestinal epithelial cells of naturally and experimentally piglets has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by immunoperoxidase (Ip) staining of paraffin sections. Three types of intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed. Viral particles appeared to be assembled from electron dense crescents which seemed to originate from type II intranuclear inclusion bodies. Virus accumulated in the nucleus of infected cells. It formed paracrystalline arrays in the electron dense centre of the nucleus but was dispersed in the peripheral electron translucent zone. Virus was released from the cells after rupture of the nuclear and plasma membranes. The results are compared with published data on the replication of adenoviruses in cell cultures.

Abstract
Mouse adenovirus, strain FL (MAV), is best propagated in primary rather than secondary cultures of mouse kidney cells. Virus release from the cells into the medium is fairly efficient; the average yield per cell is about 1000 TCID50. Morphological and other biophysical characteristics are those of a typical adenovirus: the icosahedral shell with a diameter of 74 nm, fiber projections of 29 nm length, its localization inside the infected kidney cells, a buoyant density in CsC1 of 1.34 g/ml, inhibition of multiplication by inhibitors of DNA synthesis. The thermostability is higher than that of human adenoviruses, whereas, in contrast to these, MAV is inactivated to a great extent by trypsin. Complete or incomplete hemagglutinin or toxin-like activity were not detected. The virus shows no cross-neutralization with human adenoviruses and a one-side cross-reaction with another murine adenovirus strain K-87. Soluble complement-fixing antigen of MAX exhibits a sedimentation rate of 12S identical to the hexon component of human adenoviruses; both antigens show a partial antigenic relationship in tests with appropriate antisera.
