    837-850页
    查看更多>>摘要:The recent emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)caused serious harm to human health and struck a blow to global economic development.Research on SARS-CoV-2 has greatly benefited from the use of reverse genetics systems,which have been established to artificially manipulate the viral genome,generating recombinant and reporter infectious viruses or biosafety level 2(BSL-2)-adapted non-infectious replicons with desired modifications.These tools have been instrumental in studying the molecular biological characteristics of the virus,investigating antiviral therapeutics,and facilitating the development of attenuated vaccine candidates.Here,we review the construction strategies,development,and applications of reverse ge-netics systems for SARS-CoV-2,which may be applied to other CoVs as well.

    查看更多>>摘要:Cutavirus(CuV)is a novel protoparvovirus possibly associated with diarrhea and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.Patients with rheumatic disease are immunosuppressed and may be more vulnerable to pathogenic viruses.A descriptive study was conducted among hospitalized patients with rheumatic diseases and individuals undergoing medical health check-ups between June 2019 and June 2022 in Guangzhou,China.Stool samples of subjects were tested for CuV DNA.Demographic and fecal examination data of patients were obtained from electronic medical records.A total of 505 patients with rheumatic diseases and 244 individuals who underwent medical health check-ups were included in the study.Of the patients with rheumatic disease,5.74%[95%confidence interval(CI):4.03%-8.12%]were positive for CuV DNA,while no individual in the medical health check-up group was positive,indicating a close correlation between CuV and rheumatic disease.Men and patients with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis,according to the disease classification,were more susceptible to being infected with CuV(P<0.01).After adjustments,being male remained the only significant factor,with an adjusted odd ratio(OR)of 4.4(95%CI:1.7-11.4,P=0.002).Phylogenetic analysis of the CuV VP2 sequences showed three diverse clades,one of which was segregated to be a single branching independent of previously known sequences,which is possible a new genotype.

    查看更多>>摘要:Coronavirus(CoV)spillover originating from game animals,particularly pangolins,is currently a significant concern.Meanwhile,vigilance is urgently needed for coronaviruses carried by bats,which are known as natural reservoirs of many coronaviruses.In this study,we collected 729 anal swabs of 20 different bat species from nine locations in Yunnan and Guangdong provinces,southern China,in 2016 and 2017,and described the molecular characteristics and genetic diversity of alphacoronaviruses(aCoVs)and betacoronaviruses(βCoVs)found in these bats.Using RT-PCR,we identified 58(8.0%)bat CoVs in nine bat species from six locations.Furthermore,using the Illumina platform,we obtained two representative full-length genomes of the bat CoVs,namely TyRo-CoV-162275 and TyRo-CoV-162269.Sequence analysis showed that TyRo-CoV-162275 shared the highest identity with Malayan pangolin(Manis javanica)HKU4-related coronaviruses(MjHKU4r-CoVs)from Guangxi Province,whereas TyRo-CoV-162269 was closely related to HKU33-CoV discovered in a greater bamboo bat(Tylonycteris robustula)from Guizhou Province.Notably,TyRo-CoV-162275 has a putative furin protease cleavage site in its S protein and is likely to utilize human dipeptidyl peptidase-4(hDPP4)as a cell-entry receptor,similar to MERS-CoV.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first report of a bat HKU4r-CoV strain containing a furin prote-ase cleavage site.These findings expand our understanding of coronavirus geographic and host distributions.

    查看更多>>摘要:Emerging and re-emerging viruses from wild animals have seriously threatened the health of humans and domesticated animals in recent years.Herein,we isolated a new mammalian orthoreovirus(MRV),Pika/MRV/GCCDC7/2019(PMRV-GCCDC7),in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau wild pika(Ochotona curzoniae).Though the PMRV-GCCDC7 shows features of a typical reovirus with ten gene segments arranged in 3:3:4 in length,the virus belongs to an independent evolutionary branch compared to other MRVs based on phylogenetic tree analysis.The results of cellular susceptibility,species tropism,and replication kinetics of PMRV-GCCDC7 indicated the virus could infect four human cell lines(A549,Huh7,HCT,and LoVo)and six non-human cell lines,including Vero-E6,LLC-MK2,BHK-21,N2a,MDCK,and RfKT cell,derived from diverse mammals,i.e.monkey,mice,canine and bat,which revealed the potential of PMRV-GCCDC7 to infect a variety of hosts.Infection of BALB/c mice with PMRV-GCCDC7 via intranasal inoculation led to relative weight loss,lung tissue damage and inflammation with the increase of virus titer,but no serious respiratory symptoms and death occurred.The characterization of the new reovirus from a plateau-based wild animal has expanded our knowledge of the host range of MRV and provided insight into its risk of trans-species transmission and zoonotic diseases.

    查看更多>>摘要:The NS5A non-structural protein of classical swine fever virus(CSFV)is a multifunctional protein involved in viral genomic replication,protein translation,assembly of infectious virus particles,and regulation of cellular signaling pathways.Previous report showed that NS5A inhibited nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)signaling induced by poly(I:C);however,the mechanism involved has not been elucidated.Here,we reported that NS5A directly interacted with NF-κB essential modulator(NEMO),a regulatory subunit of the IκB kinase(IKK)complex,to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway.Further investigations showed that the zinc finger domain of NEMO and the aa 126-250 segment of NS5A are essential for the interaction between NEMO and NS5A.Mechanistic analysis revealed that NS5A mediated the proteasomal degradation of NEMO.Ubiquitination assay showed that NS5A induced the K27-linked but not the K48-linked polyubiquitination of NEMO for proteasomal degradation.In addition,NS5A blocked the K63-linked polyubiquitination of NEMO,thus inhibiting IKK phosphorylation,IκBαdegradation,and NF-κB activation.These findings revealed a novel mechanism by which CSFV inhibits host innate immunity,which might guide the drug design against CSFV in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:African swine fever(ASF)is originally reported in East Africa as an acute hemorrhagic fever.African swine fever virus(ASFV)is a giant and complex DNA virus with icosahedral structure and encodes a variety of virulence factors to resist host innate immune response.S273R protein(pS273R),as a SUMO-1 specific cysteine protease,can afect viral packaging by cutting polymeric proteins.In this study,we found that pS273R was an important antagonistic viral factor that suppressed cGAS-STING-mediated type Ⅰ interferon(IFN-Ⅰ)production.A detailed analysis showed that pS273R inhibited IFN-Ⅰ production by interacting with interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3).Subsequently,we showed that pS273R disrupted the association between TBK1 and IRF3,leading to the repressed IRF3 phosphorylation and dimerization.Deletion and point mutation analysis verified that pS273R impaired IFN-Ⅰproduction independent of its cysteine protease activity.These findings will help us further understand ASFV pathogenesis.

    查看更多>>摘要:As one of the deadliest viruses,Ebola virus(EBOV)causes lethal hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates.The suppression of innate immunity leads to robust systemic virus replication of EBOV,leading to enhanced transmission.However,the mechanism of EBOV-host interaction is not fully understood.Here,we identified multiple dysregulated genes in early stage of EBOV infection through transcriptomic analysis,which are highly clustered to Jak-STAT signaling.EBOV VP35 and VP30 were found to inhibit type Ⅰ interferon(IFN)signaling.Moreover,exog-enous expression of VP35 blocks the phosphorylation of endogenous STAT1,and suppresses nuclear translocation of STAT1.Using serial truncated mutations of VP35,N-terminal 1-220 amino acid residues of VP35 were identified to be essential for blocking on type Ⅰ IFN signaling.Remarkably,VP35 of EBOV suppresses type Ⅰ IFN signaling more efficiently than those of Bundibugyo virus(BDBV)and Marburg virus(MARV),resulting in stable replication to facilitate the pathogenesis.Altogether,this study enriches understanding on EBOV evasion of innate immune response,and provides insights into the interplay between filoviruses and host.

    查看更多>>摘要:Influenza A virus(IAV)poses a global public health concern and remains an imminent threat to human health.Emerging antiviral resistance to the currently approved influenza drugs emphasizes the urgent need for new therapeutic entities against IAV.Allopregnanolone(ALLO)is a natural product that has been approved as an antidepressant drug.In the present study,we repurposed ALLO as a novel inhibitor against IAVs.Mechanistic studies demonstrated that ALLO inhibited virus replication by interfering with the nucleus translocation of viral nucleoprotein(NP).In addition,ALLO showed significant synergistic activity with compound 16,a hemagglutinin inhibitor of IAVs.In summary,we have identified ALLO as a novel influenza virus inhibitor targeting NP,providing a promising candidate that deserves further investigation as a useful anti-influenza strategy in the future.
