Abstract

The minor outer capsid shell component σ1 is the reovirus cell attachment protein because (a) IgGs directed against σ1 prevent reovirus particle adsorption, (b) free protein σ1 present in lysates of infected cells is capable of adsorbing to cells, and (c) σ1 competes with reovirus particles for cell surface receptors. Competition experiments indicate that reovirus particles of all three serotypes attach to the same cell surface receptor. It is also shown that σ1 is located on the surface of reovirus particles in close juxtaposition to λ2, the major, if not the only, component of the 12 icosahedrally distributed reovirus core projections or spikes, which penetrate through the outer capsid shell to the reovirus particle surface.

Prevalence and genomic characteristics of a novel reassortment mammalian orthoreovirus type 2 in diarrhea piglets in Sichuan, China
2020, Infection, Genetics and Evolution
Citation Excerpt :
Interestingly, there were bat activities around the pig farm from which the samples were collected for this study, and thus the role of bat in the evolution of pig-derived MRV2 needs to be further investigated. The σ1 protein encoded by S1 gene of reovirus has independent host cell binding capacity [Nagata et al., 1987; Lee and Leone, 1994], which is responsible for the specific high-affinity binding of the viral particles to susceptible cells [Weiner et al., 1980; Lee et al., 1981], serotype-specific host immune responses [Finberg et al., 1979; Finberg et al., 1981], and unique tissue tropism of the serotypes [Weiner et al., 1980b; Tyler et al., 1986]. The σ1 protein of MRV could be divided into three regions namely head, body, and tail [Chappell et al., 1997].
Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), which can infect almost all mammals, is a zoonotic virus. In this study, six strains of type 2 MRV (MRV2) were isolated from 7 diarrhea piglets from a farm that had an outbreak of diarrhea in piglets in 2018, which tested negative for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and porcine group A rotavirus (RAV). The MRV2 isolate infected neonatal piglets, in which it induced severe diarrhea, while the virus was detected in multiple organs of piglets. Moreover, the complete genome of an MRV2 isolate was obtained, which was a novel reassortant MRV strain of human MRV, porcine MRV, chamois MRV, bat MRV, and mink MRV based on the nucleotide identity and phylogenetic tree. The S1 gene of isolate had eight unique amino acid mutations compared with available MRV2 S1 in the GenBank. To investigate the prevalence of this MRV2, 78 samples of diarrhea feces were collected from 10 pig farms in seven regions of Sichuan province. The obtained results showed that the positive rate of samples was 14% (11/78), and positive rate of farms was 60% (6/10), while the amplified fragments shared the identical amino acid mutations with the isolated strain, thus suggesting that this MRV2 strain was already prevalent in Sichuan province. The present study was first to isolate a pig-derived type 2 MRV strain in China, obtaining the complete genome of this strain, which furthers our understanding of the MRV2 epidemic and evolution.
Polymers Used in Peyer’s Patch Targeting
2020, Applications of Polymers in Drug Delivery
Peyer’s Patches (PPs) consist of transmucosal clusters of lymphoid follicles overlaid with a specialized lymphoepithelium and play an essential role in the initiation of mucosal immune responses in the gut. Regardless of extensive achievements in the last few decades, for our understanding we will see in detail how PP are involved in the induction of immune responses. PPs also explicit types of dendrimers, which are present in the intestinal ileum and thereby in lumen that are polymeric molecules with three-dimensional networks. They are unique in their tree-like branched structure and have been explored as targeted drug delivery systems in the nanomedicine field in various disorders. Dendrimers are classified into various types including poly(amidoamine) dendrimers, poly(amidoamine-organosilicon) dendrimers, poly(propylene imine) dendrimers, tecto dendrimer, multilingual dendrimers, chiral dendrimers, etc. Dendrimers possess polyfunctional surfaces; therefore different types of drugs and pharmacokinetic modifiers can be attached. LIPOMER and different small-interfering RNA targeting have found profound use in research methodology.
A novel reassortant mammalian orthoreovirus with a divergent S1 genome segment identified in a traveler with diarrhea
2019, Infection, Genetics and Evolution
Mammalian orthoreoviruses with reassortant genomes have recently been detected in various mammals and humans with respiratory, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal symptoms. This study describes the detection of the novel reassortant mammalian orthoreovirus SI-MRV07 in a traveler with gastroenteritis that returned from southeast Asia. The virus was initially detected with electron microscopy in stool, followed by propagation in the epithelial-like monkey kidney Marc145 cell line. Whole-genome sequencing revealed the reassortant nature of the genome segments, whereby the S1 genome segment was the most variable according to known sequences deposited in GenBank. Based on the nucleotide sequence of the S1 genome segment, the isolate clusters to serotype 2, close to the reference strain Jones T2J. The patient's serum showed the highest virus neutralization capacity toward SI-MRV07 and T2J isolates. This study provides additional insight into emerging mammalian orthoreoviruses with reassortant genomes and possible zoonotic potential, which should be carefully monitored in the future.
Sialic Acids in Nonenveloped Virus Infections
2019, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry
Sialic acid-based glycoconjugates cover the surfaces of many different cell types, defining key properties of the cell surface such as overall charge or likely interaction partners. Because of this prominence, sialic acids play prominent roles in mediating attachment and entry to viruses belonging to many different families. In this review, we first describe how interactions between viruses and sialic acid-based glycan structures can be identified and characterized using a range of techniques. We then highlight interactions between sialic acids and virus capsid proteins in four different viruses, and discuss what these interactions have taught us about sialic acid engagement and opportunities to interfere with binding.
DNA vaccine expressing the non-structural proteins of Piscine orthoreovirus delay the kinetics of PRV infection and induces moderate protection against heart -and skeletal muscle inflammation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
2018, Vaccine
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) causes heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Erythrocytes are the main target cells for PRV. HSMI causes significant economic losses to the salmon aquaculture industry, and there is currently no vaccine available. PRV replicates and assembles within cytoplasmic structures called viral factories, mainly organized by the non-structural viral protein µNS. In two experimental vaccination trials in Atlantic salmon, using DNA vaccines expressing different combinations of PRV proteins, we found that expression of the non-structural proteins µNS combined with the cell attachment protein σ1 was associated with an increasing trend in lymphocyte marker gene expression in spleen, and induced moderate protective effect against HSMI.
A bead based multiplex immunoassay detects Piscine orthoreovirus specific antibodies in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
2017, Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Future growth in aquaculture relies strongly on the control of diseases and pathogens. Vaccination has been a successful strategy for obtaining control of bacterial diseases in fish, but for viral diseases, vaccine development has been more challenging. Effective long-term protection against viral infections is not yet fully understood for fish, and in addition, optimal tools to monitor adaptive immunity are limited. Assays that can detect specific antibodies produced in response to viral infection in fish are still in their early development.
Multiplex bead based assays have many advantages over traditional assays, since they are more sensitive and allow detection of multiple antigen-specific antibodies simultaneously in very small amounts of plasma or serum.
In the present study, a bead based assay have been developed for detection of plasma IgM directed against Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), the virus associated with the disease Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon. Using recombinant PRV proteins coated on beads, antibodies targeting the structural outer capsid protein μ1 and the non-structural protein μNS were detected. Results from a PRV cohabitation challenge trial indicated that the antibody production was initiated approximately two weeks after the peak phase of PRV infection, coinciding with typical HSMI pathology. Thereafter, the antibody production increased while the epicardial inflammation became less prominent.
In conclusion, the novel assay can detect PRV-specific antibodies that may play a role in viral defence. The bead-based immunoassay represents a valuable tool for studies on HSMI and possibly other diseases in aquaculture.
