Here, we identified a novel carlavirus, tentatively named ligularia jaluensis carlavirus (LJCV), as well as a known iris severe mosaic virus (ISMV), in <em>L. jaluensis</em> plants displaying chlorosis and yellow ring spot symptoms, using RNA-seq analysis. The LJCV genome consists of an 8497 ​nt positive-sense, single-stranded RNA [excluding the poly(A) tail], and contains six open reading frames (ORFs). Phylogenetic analyses based on the full-length genome and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) amino acid (aa) sequences revealed that LJCV clusters within an evolutionary branch alongside known viruses in the <em>Carlavirus</em> genus. The RdRp protein encoded by ORF1 of LJCV shared 45.38%–67.41% identity with the corresponding proteins of eight closely related carlaviruses. ORFs 2–4 constitute the triple gene block (TGB), with TGBp1 and TGBp3 localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while TGBp2 is localized at plasmodesmata (PD) and facilitates viral intercellular movement, as demonstrated by its ability to complement the potato virus X with movement-deficient mutant (PVX-Δp25-GFP). Additionally, ORF6 encodes a cysteine-rich protein (CRP) that is localized in the chloroplast and functions as a viral pathogenicity factor, inducing severe viral symptoms in the heterologous PVX expression system. Furthermore, we successfully constructed an infectious cDNA clone of LJCV, and found that it can infect <em>Nicotiana benthamiana</em> plants through mechanical inoculation or agrobacterium-mediated infiltration of the LJCV infectious clone.

Currently, no vaccines or specific drugs are approved for clinical use. The hosts of adenoviruses are strictly species-specific, which strongly limits the development of vaccines and drugs against HAdVs. In this study, immunocompetent BALB/c mice were challenged with different doses of human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5) via tail intravenous injection (<em>i.v.</em>). All mice challenged with a high dose of HAdV-5 (3.2 ​× ​10<sup>10</sup> TCID<sub>50</sub>/kg) died within 3–5 days, while those receiving a low dose of HAdV-5 (8 ​× ​10<sup>9</sup> or 4 ​× ​10<sup>9</sup> TCID<sub>50</sub>/kg) survived. Interestingly, among the mice receiving a medium dose of HAdV-5 (1.6 ​× ​10<sup>10</sup> TCID<sub>50</sub>/kg), 60% (n ​= ​3/5) of male mice died, while all female mice survived. This suggests that male mice may be more susceptible to HAdV-5 infection than female mice, consistent with clinical findings in children. HAdV-5 DNA was mainly distributed in the liver, followed by the spleen and lung. Pathological changes were observed in the lung, liver, and spleen, with severity increasing in correlation with the virus challenge dosage. Transcriptome and qPCR analyses of the liver indicated that the down-regulated expression of the <em>H2-Aa</em>, <em>H2-Ea-ps</em>, <em>CD74</em>, and <em>H2-Eb1</em> genes in male mice, as well as the <em>AHR</em> gene in female mice, may contribute to the observed higher mortality rates in male mice. Therefore, this effective, feasible, and cost-efficient mouse model could serve as a candidate for evaluating HAdV vaccines and anti-adenovirus therapeutics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23654,"journal":{"name":"Virologica Sinica","volume":"39 6","pages":"Pages 963-973"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11738788/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142629468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
