IntroductionAutophagy is an important process in host cell responses to viral replication and spread, including those against infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a known immunoinhibitory receptor, and its expression causes immune dysfunction in B lymphocytes, resulting in increased progression of immunosuppressive diseases. However, the role of PD-1 in autophagy during IBDV infection remains unclear.MethodsWe investigated the mechanism by which chicken PD-1 regulates autophagy during IBDV infection.ResultsIBDV infection enhanced PD-1 expression in chicken tissues and DT-40 cells. Subsequent interaction analyses revealed that PD-1 interacted only with the viral protein VP2 to enhance the IBDV replication in DT-40 cells. PD-1 overexpression significantly increased IBDV-induced autophagy, whereas silencing of PD-1 had the opposite effect in IBDV-infected DT-40 cells. Furthermore, PD-1 enhanced the activation of FoxO1 via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Finally, we demonstrated that autophagy is critical for role of PD-1 in regulating VP2 protein expression and IBDV titers.DiscussionThese findings present a novel mechanism wherein PD-1 induces autophagy by activating the PI3K/AKT/FoxO1 pathway to facilitate IBDV replication, providing a new avenue in developing universal vaccine adjuvants for IBDV infection control.
Breakthrough progress has been made in the molecular mechanism research and clinical application of PD-1/PD-L1 in the regulation of immunosuppression and tolerance mainly in human and mouse fields, but is relatively slow in other species. The eukaryotic expression vectors pECFP-Fc-1 and pEYFP-Fc-L1 for high expression of canine PD-1 and PD-L1 proteins were constructed and transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 T cells. Fluorescence microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy, and immunofluorescence technology were used to identify the expression and membrane localization of the target proteins in human embryonic kidney 293 T cells. The binding activity of the target proteins expressed on the model cell was identified by eukaryotic expression vector co-transfection and immunocoprecipitation. The results showed that canine PD-1 and PD-L1 proteins were expressed on the membrane surfaces of their respective positively transfected cells. The cell membrane complex was further analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation technology, PD-L1 protein components were successfully detected in the pull-down complex of canine PD-1 antibody, and the two target proteins expressed in the model cells showed good mutual binding activity. Further research is needed to evaluate high throughput and a reliable method for screening drugs that block the PD-1 and PD-L1 pathway.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by PRRS virus (PRRSV), is a highly contagious disease with high morbidity and mortality that affects the global swine industry. Despite efforts to control it, there is still a widespread dissemination of PRRSV with obvious genetic variations in swine population, resulting in huge economic losses annually. Consequently, accurate laboratory diagnosis is crucial for the rapid confirmation of PRRSV infections. An immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (IPMA) was developed for the specific and sensitive detection of PRRSV based on a broad-spectrum anti-PRRSV monoclonal antibody (mAb) 28F6. The mAb 28F6-based IPMA could specifically detect PRRSV and possessed no cross-reactions with CSFV, PCV2, and PEDV. Sensitivity analysis showed that the limit of detection of the IPMA reached 10− 2.25 TCID50/100 µL. There was no significant difference in the detection of PRRSV of different passages with different batches of mAb 28F6, indicating that the IPMA had excellent repeatability. Additionally, the IPMA was capable of detecting multiple PRRSV variants, including field strains (e.g., BJ-4, HN07-1, and HNhx) and vaccine strains (e.g., HuN4-F112, JXA1-R, TJM-F92, GDr180, VR2332, CH-1R, and R98). Validation of the IPMA with qRT-PCR showed 100
Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), is a highly contagious disease with high morbidity and mortality that affects the global swine industry. So far, there is still a widespread dissemination of PRRSV with obvious genetic variations in swine population, resulting in huge economic losses annually. Therefore, accurate laboratory diagnosis is needed to quickly confirm PRRSV infection. Results An immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (IPMA) was developed for the specific and sensitive detection of PRRSV based on a broad-spectrum anti-PRRSV monoclonal antibody (mAb) 28F6. The mAb 28F6-based IPMA could specifically detect PRRSV and possessed no cross-reactions with CSFV, PCV2, and PEDV. Sensitivity analysis showed that the limit of detection of the IPMA reached 10− 2.25 TCID50/100 µL. There was no significant difference in the detection of PRRSV of different passages with different batches of mAb 28F6, indicating that the IPMA had good repeatability. In addition, the IPMA could recognize a number of PRRSV variants including field strains such as BJ-4, HN07-1, and NADC30-like strain, as well as vaccine strains like HuN4-F112, JXA1-R, TJM-F92, GDr180, VR2332, CH-1R, and R98. Validation of the IPMA showed that it was in 100% consistency with qRT-PCR on the detection of 108 clinical samples. Conclusions The IPMA could meet the demand for the specific and sensitive detection of PRRSV, which is helpful for accurate monitoring and early warning of PRRSV infections.
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) binding contributes to immune evasion mechanisms responsible for B lymphocyte exhaustion and apoptosis. This facilitates immunosuppression in chronic viral infections, including infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Our previous study showed that PD-1 and PD-L1 expression increases in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of chickens infected with IBDV. However, due to their high production costs and immune-related adverse events, monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 are unsuitable therapeutic agents. Thus, in the current study, we designed peptides with optimized binding sites for PD-1 and investigated their ability to disrupt PD-1/PD-L1 binding and restore B lymphocyte function in vitro. The peptide gCK-16 exhibited a high affinity for PD-1 (KD: 3.37 nM) and effectively inhibited the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in vitro. Moreover, gCK-16 significantly enhanced B lymphocyte proliferation. Remarkably, gCK-16 treatment abrogated the IBDV-induced upregulation of PD-1/PD-L1, NF-κB activation, and B lymphocyte apoptosis. Additionally, IBDV infection attenuated PI3K/AKT pathway activation in B lymphocytes, while gCK-16 treatment increased immunoglobulin M (IgM) production in IBDV-infected B lymphocytes. Together, these results demonstrate that gCK-16 treatment can potentially enhance B lymphocyte function against IBDV infection, guiding the development of vaccine adjuvants to effectively prevent IBDV-induced avian immunosuppression.
