Direct evidence of fiber-protein-directed hemagglutination by canine adenoviruses.

ABSTRACT: Canine adenoviruses (CAdVs) are divided into two serotypes, CAdV1 and CAdV2, whose members mainly cause infectious hepatitis and laryngotracheitis, respectively, in canids. To gain insight into the molecular basis of viral hemagglutination, we constructed chimeric viruses whose fiber proteins or their knob domains, which play a role in viral attachment to cells, were swapped among CAdV1, CAdV2, and bat adenovirus via reverse genetics. The results revealed that, in each case, viral hemagglutination was specifically mediated by the fiber protein or knob domain, providing direct evidence for fiber-protein-directed receptor-binding characteristics of CAdVs.

Molecular characterization of hemagglutination domains on the fibers of subgenus D adenoviruses.

Project description:The adenovirus fiber mediates the agglutination of erythrocytes. Based on differential hemagglutinating properties, subgenus D adenoviruses can be subdivided into clusters DI, DII, and DIII. While subgenus DI adenoviruses agglutinate rat and human erythrocytes, DII adenoviruses simply agglutinate rat erythrocytes and DIII adenoviruses display no or only weak rat erythrocyte agglutination. Amino acid sequence comparisons revealed distinct domains on the fiber knob which could be involved in hemagglutination. In order to localize and characterize the domains responsible for the interaction with rat and human erythrocytes, potential hemagglutination domains of the adenovirus type 9 (Ad9) (subgenus DI) fiber knob were introduced into Ad17 (subgenus DII) and Ad28 (subgenus DIII) fiber knobs by primer-directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, rat erythrocyte hemagglutination domains were also introduced into the Ad3 (subgenus B) fiber knob, which only agglutinated monkey erythrocytes. Altogether, 27 chimeric and mutated fiber proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and subsequently tested for hemagglutination activity. The hemagglutination tests revealed that at least two domains can mediate the agglutination of rat erythrocytes. While one domain is located on the GH loop, the other domain extends from the C beta strand to the CD loop. The domain on the GH loop was partially conserved in all adenoviruses showing an incomplete hemagglutination pattern with rat erythrocytes. The domains involved in the agglutination of human erythrocytes are located on the CD and HI loops of the subgenus DI fiber knob.

Identification of subgenus C adenoviruses by fiber-based multiplex PCR.

Project description:Subgenus C human adenoviruses, which include serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6, are often associated with respiratory illness, ocular infections, gastroenteritis, and systemic infection among immunocompromised patients. To address the problems associated with the conventional typing methods, we developed a fiber-based multiplex PCR assay for simple and specific identification of adenovirus type 1, 2, 5, and 6 field isolates. To design type-specific primers, adenovirus type 1 and 6 fiber genes were sequenced. The assay correctly identified prototype strains of adenovirus serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, as well as 21 previously typed adenovirus field isolates. Mixing two different prototype DNAs produced two amplicons of different lengths, thus clearly distinguishing the prototypes. The results correlated 100% with serological tests and 95% with the previously described PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The detection of dual infection is an added benefit of the assay. No nonspecific amplification was detected with other adenovirus serotypes or with nonadenoviral DNA. Our fiber-based multiplex PCR assay will provide a convenient tool for type-specific identification of subgenus C adenovirus isolates in various clinical situations and in epidemiological investigations and is a better alternative than the hexon-based assay.

Anti-citrullinated protein antibody detection by hemagglutination.

Project description:ObjectivesACPAs play an important role in the classification of RA and can be detected by serological tests. Several ACPA detection assays are available for clinical use, which are all based on ELISA(-like) tests with citrullinated peptides (CCP2) or alternative citrullinated proteins/peptides. We aimed to facilitate ACPA detection in low-volume laboratories and resource-poor environments by developing a rapid and easy-to-perform test.MethodsWe designed and generated an agglutination mediator by protein engineering. A single-chain antibody fragment that binds to glycophorin A, one of the major surface proteins of erythrocytes, was conjugated to a CCP2-like peptide. This agglutination mediator was used to assess ACPA in RA and PsA patients and in healthy individuals.ResultsThe agglutination mediator bound to erythrocytes was reactive with ACPA and induced haemagglutination in an ACPA-dependent fashion, which can be detected by the naked eye. The applicability was assessed by the analysis of fresh blood samples from 204 RA patients, 77 PsA patients and 100 healthy individuals. Agglutination was observed in up to 61% of the RA samples, which correlated well with the results obtained with a standardized anti-CCP2 ELISA (63-67%). Depending on the minimal agglutination score, agglutination was observed in only 3-21% of the PsA samples and in 1% of the healthy controls.ConclusionWe conclude that the agglutination mediator allows rapid and efficient detection of ACPA by haemagglutination in human blood samples and offers a low-threshold method for ACPA detection.

SERF protein is a direct modifier of amyloid fiber assembly.

Project description:The inherent cytotoxicity of aberrantly folded protein aggregates contributes substantially to the pathogenesis of amyloid diseases. It was recently shown that a class of evolutionary conserved proteins, called MOAG-4/SERF, profoundly alter amyloid toxicity via an autonomous but yet unexplained mode. We show that the biological function of human SERF1a originates from its atypical ability to specifically distinguish between amyloid and nonamyloid aggregation. This inherently unstructured protein directly affected the aggregation kinetics of a broad range of amyloidogenic proteins in vitro, while being inactive against nonamyloid aggregation. A representative biophysical analysis of the SERF1a:?-synuclein (aSyn) complex revealed that the amyloid-promoting activity resulted from an early and transient interaction, which was sufficient to provoke a massive increase of soluble aSyn amyloid nucleation templates. Therefore, the autonomous amyloid-modifying activity of SERF1a observed in living organisms relies on a direct and dedicated manipulation of the early stages in the amyloid aggregation pathway.

Sequential circulation of canine adenoviruses 1 and 2 in captive wild carnivores, France.

Project description:Scarce data are currently available about the ecology of canine adenoviruses (CAdVs) in wild carnivores. In this paper, the consecutive circulation of CAdV-1 and CAdV-2 in wild carnivores maintained in a French zoological park is reported. A fatal CAdV-1 infection was observed in a Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus lupus), which displayed gross lesions, histopathological changes and immunohistochemical findings suggestive of CAdV-1 infection. The virus was isolated on cell cultures and its genome was determined through next-generation sequencing, resulting genetically related to a recent Italian CAdV-1 strain detected in an Italian wolf. Subsequently, subclinical circulation of CAdV-2 was demonstrated by molecular methods in wild carnivores maintained in the same zoological park, some of which had been previously vaccinated with a CAdV-2 vaccine. Virus detection at a long distance from vaccination and by unvaccinated animals was suggestive of infection by a CAdV-2 field strain, although no data are available about the extent and duration of shedding of CAdV-2 modified-live virus in wild or domestic carnivores. The present paper provides new insights into the CAdV ecology in wildlife, although future studies are needed to fully understand the pathogenic potential of both CAdVs especially in endangered carnivore species.

Biodistribution Analysis of Oncolytic Adenoviruses in Canine Patient Necropsy Samples Treated with Cellular Virotherapy.

Project description:Oncolytic immunotherapy with competent viruses is an emerging approach in cancer treatment. The clinical safety of many types of oncolytic viruses (OVs) has been demonstrated. However, there is a lack of information about viral biodistribution in patients. The available data about oncolytic adenovirus biodistribution in human subjects treated intravenously consists of virus detection in body fluids, a few tumor biopsies, and a single report of patient necropsy samples. There is no information about adenoviral biodistribution in patients treated intravenously with cellular vehicles carrying an oncolytic adenovirus. We previously published reports regarding the efficacy and clinical safety of infusing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infected with an OV in human and canine patients. In this study, we performed necropsies on 12 canine patients treated with dCelyvir, canine MSCs infected with ICOCAV17, a canine oncolytic adenovirus. The prevalence of microscopic lesions, especially chronic inflammatory responses in different organs, was higher than expected. Concomitantly, we found a positive immunoreaction to ICOCAV17 in analyzed samples. These findings support a possible role of the virus in development of histopathological alterations and ongoing systemic viral replication of ICOCAV17 in the period after therapy administration.

Canine Adenovirus 1 Isolation Bioinformatics Analysis of the Fiber.

Project description:Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) is a double-stranded DNA virus, which is the causative agent of fox encephalitis. The Fiber protein is one of the structural proteins in CAdV-1, which mediates virion binding to the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor on host cells. The suspected virus was cultured in the MDCK cells, and it was determined through the cytopathic effects, sequencing and electron microscopy. The informatics analysis of the Fiber was done using online bioinformatics servers. The CAdV-1-JL2021 strain was isolated successfully, and were most similar to the CAdV-1 strain circulating in Italy. The occurrence of negative selection and recombination were found in the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1. Host cell membrane was its subcellular localization. The CAdV-1-JL2021 Fiber (ON164651) had 6 glycosylation sites and 107 phosphorylation sites, exerted adhesion receptor-mediated virion attachment to host cell, which was the same as CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 Fiber. The Fiber tertiary structure of the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 was different, but they had the same coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. "VATTSPTLTFAYPLIKNNNH" were predicted to be the potential CAdV-1 B cell linear epitope. The MHC-I binding peptide "KLGVKPTTY" were both presented in the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 Fiber and it is useful to design the canine adenovirus vaccine.

Detection and Genetic Characterization of Canine Adenoviruses, Circoviruses, and Novel Cycloviruses From Wild Carnivores in Italy.

Project description:Wild carnivores are known to play a role in the epidemiology of several canine viruses, including canine adenoviruses types 1 (CAdV-1) and 2 (CAdV-2), canine circovirus (CanineCV) and canine distemper virus (CDV). In the present study, we report an epidemiological survey for these viruses in free ranging carnivores from Italy. A total of 262 wild carnivores, including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), wolves (Canis lupus) and Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) were sampled. Viral nucleic acid was extracted and screened by real-time PCR assays (qPCR) for the presence of CAdVs and CanineCV DNA, as well as for CDV RNA. CAdV-1 DNA was detected only in red foxes (4/232, 1.7%) whilst the wolves (0/8, 0%) and Eurasian badgers (0/22, 0%) tested negative. CanineCV DNA was detected in 4 (18%) Eurasian badgers, 4 (50%) wolves and 0 (0%) red foxes. None of the animals tested positive for CDV or CAdV-2. By sequence and phylogenetic analyses, CAdV-1 and CanineCV sequences from wild carnivores were closely related to reference sequences from domestic dogs and wild carnivores. Surprisingly, two sequences from wolf intestines were identified as cycloviruses with one sequence (145.20-5432) displaying 68.6% nucleotide identity to a cyclovirus detected in a domestic cat, while the other (145.201329) was more closely related (79.4% nucleotide identity) to a cyclovirus sequence from bats. A continuous surveillance in wild carnivores should be carried out in order to monitor the circulation in wildlife of viruses pathogenic for domestic carnivores and endangered wild species.

Establishment of a Simple and Efficient Reverse Genetics System for Canine Adenoviruses Using Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes.

Project description:Canine adenoviruses (CAdVs) are divided into pathotypes CAdV1 and CAdV2, which cause infectious hepatitis and laryngotracheitis in canid animals, respectively. They can be the backbones of viral vectors that could be applied in recombinant vaccines or for gene transfer in dogs and in serologically naïve humans. Although conventional plasmid-based reverse genetics systems can be used to construct CAdV vectors, their large genome size creates technical difficulties in gene cloning and manipulation. In this study, we established an improved reverse genetics system for CAdVs using bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), in which genetic modifications can be efficiently and simply made through BAC recombineering. To validate the utility of this system, we used it to generate CAdV2 with the early region 1 gene deleted. This mutant was robustly generated and attenuated in cell culture. The results suggest that our established BAC-based reverse genetics system for CAdVs would be a useful and powerful tool for basic and advanced practical studies with these viruses.

First molecular evidence for the existence of distinct fish and snake adenoviruses.

Project description:From adenovirus-like viruses originating from a fish and a snake species, a conserved part of the adenoviral DNA polymerase gene was PCR amplified, cloned and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the snake adenovirus is closely related to the members of the proposed genus Atadenovirus, whereas the fish isolate seems to represent a separate cluster, likely a new genus.
