Project description:The pathogen and host factors that contribute to the establishment of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) persistence are currently not understood. Using primary bovine soft palate multilayers in combination with RNA sequencing, we analyzed the transcriptional responses during acute and persistent FMDV infection.
Project description:The some biomarkers can be found by pairwise comparison. They can distinguish between extremely severe Hand,foot and mouth disease and mild Hand,foot and mouth disease,moreover,they can applied to diagnose extremely severe Hand,foot and mouth disease mild Hand,foot and mouth disease vs.control; extremely severe Hand,foot and mouth disease vs.control; extremely severe Hand,foot and mouth disease vs.mild Hand,foot and mouth disease,verification by qRT-PCR

Project description:: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is the most devastating disease of cloven-hoofed livestock, with a crippling economic burden in endemic areas and immense costs associated with outbreaks in free countries. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a picornavirus, will spread rapidly in naïve populations, reaching morbidity rates of up to 100% in cattle. Even after recovery, over 50% of cattle remain subclinically infected and infectious virus can be recovered from the nasopharynx. The pathogen and host factors that contribute to FMDV persistence are currently not understood. Using for the first time primary bovine soft palate multilayers in combination with proteogenomics, we analyzed the transcriptional responses during acute and persistent FMDV infection. During the acute phase viral RNA and protein was detectable in large quantities and in response hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) were overexpressed, mediating antiviral activity and apoptosis. Although the number of pro-apoptotic ISGs and the extent of their regulation decreased during persistence, some ISGs with antiviral activity were still highly expressed at that stage. This indicates a long-lasting but ultimately ineffective stimulation of ISGs during FMDV persistence. Furthermore, downregulation of relevant genes suggests an interference with the extracellular matrix that may contribute to the skewed virus-host equilibrium in soft palate epithelial cells.
