Autophagy Inhibits Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) Replication and Protects Ctenopharyngodon idella Kidney (CIK) Cells from Excessive Inflammatory Responses after GCRV Infection.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy is an essential and highly conserved process in mammals, which is critical to maintaining physiological homeostasis, including cell growth, development, repair, and survival. However, the understanding of autophagy in fish virus replication is limited. In this study, we found that grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection stimulated autophagy in the spleen of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Moreover, both Western blot (WB) analysis and fluorescent tracer tests showed that GCRV infection induced the enhancement of autophagy activation in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells. Autophagy inducer rapamycin and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA pretreatment can inhibit and promote the proliferation of GCRV, respectively. In addition, grass carp autophagy-related gene 5 (CiA
