Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is one of the most important porcine pathogens for which no preventive and antiviral treatment measures are available. A pervious study revealed that the unfolded protein response (UPR) induced by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can be utilized to inhibit PEDV replication. Here, we demonstrated that the UPR suppresses the replication of multiple genotypes of PEDV in both Vero and swine testis (ST) cells, primarily through activation of the PERK-eIF2α branch among the three UPR pathways. The PERK-eIF2α pathway inducers CCT020312 and salubrinal efficiently inhibited the replication of multiple genotypes of PEDV in both Vero and ST cells, whereas the inhibitor AMG PERK 44 promoted PEDV replication. Furthermore, we found that PERK-eIF2α arm-mediated inhibition of PEDV replication is caused by phosphorylated eIF2α-induced attenuation of global protein translation. Additionally, phosphorylated eIF2α promotes NF-κB signaling activation and facilitates to the production of IFN-Ⅰ, eliciting innate immunity to suppress viral replication. These data show that PERK-eIF2α pathway dampens the replication of multiple genotypes of PEDV, suggesting that this target may be exploited to develop as a broad-spectrum anti-PEDV drugs.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
