Hence, it is necessary to investigate viral-induced reactions across diverse hosts. Herein, we propose utilizing naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs), mainly focusing on exosomes to examine virus-host responses following CoV infection. Exosomes are small membrane-bound vesicles originating from the endosomal pathway, which play a pivotal role in intracellular communication and physiological and pathological processes. We suggested that CoV could impact EV formation, content, and diverse immune responses in vitro. <b>Methods:</b> In this study, we infected A-72, which is a canine fibroblast cell line, with a feline coronavirus (FCoV) and canine coronavirus (CCoV) independently in an exosome-free media at 0.001 multiplicity of infection (MOI), with incubation periods of 48 and 72 h. The cell viability was significantly downregulated with increased incubation time following FCoV and CCoV infection, which was identified by performing the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazo-1-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. After the infection, EVs were isolated through ultracentrifugation, and the subsequent analysis involved quantifying and characterizing the purified EVs using various techniques. <b>Results:</b> NanoSight particle tracking analysis (NTA) verified that EV dimensions fell between 100 and 200 nm at both incubation periods. At both periods, total protein and RNA levels were significantly upregulated in A-72-derived EVs following FCoV and CCoV infections. However, total DNA levels were gradually upregulated with increased incubation time. Dot blot analysis indicated that the expression levels of ACE2, IL-1β, Flotillin-1, CD63, caspase-8, and Hsp90 were modified in A-72-derived EVs following both CoV infections. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our results indicated that FCoV and CCoV infections could modulate the EV production and content, which could play a role in the development of viral diseases. Investigating diverse animal CoV will provide in-depth insight into host exosome biology during CoV infection. Hence, our findings contribute to the comprehension and characterization of EVs in virus-host interactions during CoV infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":23694,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Sciences","volume":"12 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12115506/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about the diagnostic relevance of the Doppler blood flow profiles of parrots. In the present study, sonographic examinations of Congo grey parrots with atherosclerosis were evaluated retrospectively to gain more knowledge about their pulmonary and aortic systolic blood flow. The shapes of their Doppler sonographic blood flow profiles were quantified by the determination of the acceleration and deceleration phases. The investigations showed the differences between the aortic flow profile, with fast rising velocities, and the pulmonary flow profile, which has a round shape, in grey parrots. Diseased parrots with ultrasonographic signs of a right heart failure, such as an enlarged right ventricle and/or insufficiencies of the right atrioventricular and/or pulmonary valve, showed a significantly shorter acceleration and longer deceleration phase than parrots without heart failure or with sonographic signs of left heart failure only. The correlation of the shape of the pulmonary Doppler blood flow profile with the diameter of the left atrium, the systolic and diastolic diameter of the right ventricle, the fractional shortening of the left and right ventricle, and the mean aortic and pulmonary blood flow illustrates the importance of these sonographic parameters in the investigation of the function of the right ventricle in heart disease. Our examination showed that the shape of the pulmonary Doppler blood flow profile of Congo grey parrots provides important information about the pressure load on the right ventricle in heart diseases, which is comparable to that in small animal and human medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":23694,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Sciences","volume":"12 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12115744/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
