ABSTRACT

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus, causes diarrhoea in suckling piglets and has the potential for cross-species transmission. No effective PDCoV vaccines or antiviral drugs are currently available. Here, we successfully generated an infectious clone of PDCoV strain CHN-HN-2014 using a combination of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based reverse genetics system with a one-step homologous recombination. The recued virus (rCHN-HN-2014) possesses similar growth characteristics to the parental virus in vitro. Based on the established infectious clone and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a PDCoV reporter virus expressing nanoluciferase (Nluc) was constructed by replacing the NS6 gene. Using two drugs, lycorine and resveratrol, we found that the Nluc reporter virus exhibited high sensibility and easy quantification to rapid antiviral screening. We further used the Nluc reporter virus to test the susceptibility of different cell lines to PDCoV and found that cell lines derived from various host species, including human, swine, cattle and monkey enables PDCoV replication, broadening our understanding of the PDCoV cell tropism range. Taken together, our reporter viruses are available to high throughput screening for antiviral drugs and uncover the infectivity of PDCoV in various cells, which will accelerate our understanding of PDCoV.

ABSTRACT

Enteric coronaviruses (CoVs) are major pathogens that cause diarrhea in piglets. To date, four porcine enteric CoVs have been identified: transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and HKU2-like porcine enteric alphacoronavirus (PEAV). In this study, we investigated the replicative capacity of these four enteric CoVs in LLC-PK1 cells, a porcine kidney cell line. The results showed that LLC-PK1 cells are susceptible to all four enteric CoVs, particularly to TGEV and PDCoV infections, indicating that LLC-PK1 cells can be applied to porcine enteric CoV research in vitro, particularly for coinfection studies.

ABSTRACT

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a novel swine enteropathogenic coronavirus that leads to acute diarrhea/vomiting, dehydration, and mortality in seronegative neonatal piglets. As widely known, attempts to culture porcine enteropathogenic coronaviruses, such as PDCoV and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, in cells have been proven to be difficult. This study aimed to establish an efficient and cost-effective culture system for PDCoV using embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) to enable future vaccine production and efficient virus isolation from infected animals. The inoculation of samples into the allantoic cavity of 3- to 7-day-old ECEs yielded efficient virus propagation even from porcine fecal samples. Virus propagation in 2- and 8-day-old ECEs were confirmed in 30.0 % and 11.1 % of the samples, respectively. This indicates that susceptible cells rapidly develop in 2-day-old ECEs and differentiate to mature cells that are nonsusceptible to PDCoV in 8-day-old layer chicken ECEs. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that PDCoV can be passaged in 6-day-old ECEs with high viral replicative efficiency. This technique for propagating PDCoV using ECEs is a powerful tool that could be utilized for PDCoV vaccine development and virus isolation from poultry, livestock, and wild animals.

ABSTRACT

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) has been recently identified as an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus that mainly infects newborn piglets and causes enteritis, diarrhea and high mortality. Although coronavirus N proteins have multifarious activities, the subcellular localization of the PDCoV N protein is still unknown. Here, we produced mouse monoclonal antibodies against the PDCoV N protein. Experiments using anti-haemagglutinin antibodies and these monoclonal antibodies revealed that the PDCoV N protein is shuttled into the nucleolus in both ectopic PDCoV N-expressing cells and PDCoV-infected cells. The results of deletion mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that the predicted nucleolar localization signal at amino acids 295-318 is critical for nucleolar localization. Cumulatively, our study yielded a monoclonal antibody against the PDCoV N protein and revealed a mechanism by which the PDCoV N protein translocated into the nucleolus. The tolls and findings from this work will facilitate further investigations on the functions of the PDCoV N protein.
