Human Sapovirus Replication in Human Intestinal Enteroids.

ABSTRACT: Human sapoviruses (HuSaVs), like human noroviruses (HuNoV), belong to the Caliciviridae family and cause acute gastroenteritis in humans. Since their discovery in 1976, numerous attempts to grow HuSaVs in vitro were unsuccessful until 2020, when these viruses were reported to replicate in a duodenal cancer cell-derived line. Physiological cellular models allowing viral replication are essential to investigate HuSaV biology and replication mechanisms such as genetic susceptibility, restriction factors, and immune responses to infection. In this study, we demonstrate replication of two HuSaV strains in human intestinal enteroids (HIEs) known to support the replication of HuNoV and other human enteric viruses. HuSaVs replicated in differentiated HIEs originating from jejunum, du
