Comparative transcriptome analysis of rainbow trout gonadal cells (RTG-2) infected with U and J genogroup infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus.

ABSTRACT: Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is the causative pathogen of infectious hematopoietic necrosis, outbreaks of which are responsible for significant losses in rainbow trout aquaculture. Strains of IHNV isolated worldwide have been classified into five major genogroups, J, E, L, M, and U. To date, comparative transcriptomic analysis has only been conducted individually for the J and M genogroups. In this study, we compared the transcriptome profiles in U genogroup and J genogroup IHNV-infected RTG-2 cells with mock-infected RTG-2 cells. The RNA-seq results revealed 17,064 new genes, of which 7,390 genes were functionally annotated. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis between U and J IHNV-infected cells revealed 2,238 DEGs, including 1,011 downregulated genes and 1,227 upregulated genes. Among the 2,238 DEGs, 345 new genes were discovered. The DEGs related to immune responses, cellular signal transduction, and viral diseases were further analyzed. RT-qPCR validation confirmed that the changes in expression of the immune response-related genes trpm2, sting, itgb7, ripk2, and irf1, cellular signal transduction-related genes irl, cacnb2, bmp2l, gadd45α, and plk2, and viral disease-related genes mlf1, mtor, armc5, pik3r1, and c-myc were consistent with the results of transcriptome analysis. Taken together, our findings provide a comprehensive transcriptional analysis of the differential virulence of the U and J genogroups of IHNV, and shed new light on the pathogenic mechanisms of IHNV strains.

Project description:The Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosic Virus (IHNV) DNA vaccine is based on the viral glycoprotein gene (G gene) and induces a non-specific anti-viral immune response and long-term specific immunity against IHNV in salmonid fishes. This study characterized gene expression responses associated with the early anti-viral response. Homozygous rainbow trout were injected intra-muscularly (I.M.) with vector DNA or the IHNV DNA vaccine. Gene expression at the I.M. site was evaluated using a 16,000 feature salmon cDNA microarray. Eighty different transcripts were significantly modulated in the vector DNA group while 910 transcripts were modulated in the IHNV DNA vaccinated group relative to control group. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR was used to examine expression of selected genes at the I.M. site and in other secondary tissues. In the localized response (I.M. site), the magnitudes of gene expression changes were higher in the vaccinate group relative to the vector DNA group for the majority of genes analyzed. At secondary systemic sites (e.g. gill, kidney and spleen) evaluated with RT-PCR of specific genes, the main difference was the up-regulation of the type I IFN-related genes in only the IHNV DNA vaccinated group. Keywords: disease vaccine response Gene expression at the site of I.M injection was evaluated 7 days post-injection in clonal rainbow trout. Gene expression was compared across three treatments, with replicate clonal rainbow trout individuals (Hot Creek strain) within each treatment. Treatments included injection with 1X PBS (control group), plasmid vector only (without IHNV G gene; hereafter referred to as vector group), and the pIHNV vaccine (vaccine group). Three clonal individuals from the control, three individuals from the vector group, and four individuals from the vaccine group were labeled with Cy3 and used for individual hybridizations to ten slides, comparing hybridization of each individual to a major reference RNA pool. The major reference pool consisted of three unhandled clonal rainbow trout and constituted a pool of RNA from the anterior kidney, spleen, liver and muscle and was labelled with Cy5. Total RNA was extracted from samples, amplified, and hybridized to 16,000 feature Atlantic salmon cDNA arrays developed by the Genomic Research for Atlantic Salmon project. Differential expression was compared among control, vector, and vaccine groups.

Project description:Infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) is a major disease that limits the culture of rainbow trout. In practical production, it has been found that the temperature of the culture water is a crucial factor affecting its mortality. Currently, little is known about how temperature affects the immune response of rainbow trout gut microbiota and metabolites to IHNV. In this study, our main objective is to analyze the changes in gut microorganisms of rainbow trout (juvenile fish with a consistent genetic background) after 14 days of infection with IHNV (5 × 105 pfu/fish) at 12-13°C (C: injected with saline, A: injected with IHNV) and 16-17°C (D: injected with saline, B: injected with IHNV) using metagenomic and metabolomic analyses, and to screen for probiotics that are effective against IHNV. The results showed that infection with IHNV at 12-13°C caused Eukaryote loss. Compared to Group C, Group A showed a significant increase in harmful pathogens, such as Yersiniaceae, and a significant alteration of 4,087 gut metabolites. Compared to group D, group B showed a significant increase in the abundance of Streptococcaceae and Lactococcus lactis, along with significant changes in 4,259 intestinal metabolites. Compared with their respective groups, the levels of two immune-related metabolites, 1-Octadecanoyl-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and L-Glutamate, were significantly upregulated in groups A and B. Compared to group B, Group A showed significantly higher pathogenic bacteria including Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, and Yersiniaceae, while group B showed a significant increase in Streptococcaceae and Lactococcus lactis. Additionally, there were 4,018 significantly different metabolites between the two groups. Interestingly, 1-Octadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and L-Glutamate were significantly higher in group A than in group B. Some of the different metabolites in C vs. A are correlated with Fomitopsis pinicola, while in D vs. B they were correlated with Lactococcus raffinolactis, and in A vs. B they were correlated with Hypsizygus marmoreus. This study exposed how rainbow trout gut microbiota and metabolites respond to IHNV at different temperatures, and screens beneficial bacteria with potential resistance to IHN, providing new insights and scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of IHN.
