Diseases caused by pathogens severely hampered the development of aquaculture, especially largemouth bass virus (LMBV) has caused massive mortality and severe economic losses to the culture of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ). Considering the environmental hazards and human health, effective and environmentally friendly therapy strategy against LMBV is of vital importance and in pressing need. In the present study, a novel nanobody (NbE4) specific for LMBV was selected from a phage display nanobody library. Immunofluorescence and indirect ELISA showed that NbE4 could recognize LMBV virions and had strong binding capacity, but RT-qPCR evidenced that NBE4 did not render the virus uninfectious. Besides, antiviral drug ribavirin was used to construct a targeted drug system delivered by bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). RT-qPCR revealed that NbE4 could significantly enhance the antiviral activity of ribavirin in vitro and in vivo . The targeted drug delivery system (BNC-Ribavirin-NbE4, BRN) reduced the inflammatory response caused by LMBV infection and improved survival rate (BRN-L, 33.3 %; BRN-M, 46.7 %; BRN-H, 56.7 %)compared with control group (13.3 %), ribavirin group (RBV, 26.7 %) and BNC-ribavirin (BNC-R, 40.0 %), respectively. This research provided an effective antiviral strategy that improved the drug therapeutic effect and thus reduced the dosage.

Effects of zinc ion on the selectivity and template removal of molecularly imprinted polymers for sulfadiazine

X. X. Zhao,B. F. Yu,H. X. Zhang

One molecule of zinc ion (Zn2+) could combine with two molecules of sulfadiazine (SDZ) to form a complex. Based on this concept, two experiments were performed to improve the preparation of sulfadiazine molecularly imprinted polymer materials (MIPs). One experiment used the complex of SDZ–Zn as template to replace SDZ in order to synthesize MIPs, which displayed higher selectivity and imprint factor. The second experiment used a methanol–acetic acid solution (9 : 1, v/v) containing 0.02 mol L−1 Zn2+ as the eluate to remove the template molecules from the synthesized MIPs, which could rapidly remove the template at 80 °C within two hours. Compared with the traditional Soxhlet extraction, the time was largely shortened.

Moroxydine hydrochloride inhibits grass carp reovirus replication and suppresses apoptosis in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney cells

Xiao-Bo Yu,Xiao-Hui Chen,Fei Ling,Kai Hao,Gao-Xue Wang,Bin Zhu

Moroxydine hydrochloride (Mor) is known to have multi-antiviral activities against DNA and RNA viruses but very little information exists on its pharmacology. The paper was undertaken to explore the antiviral response and antiapoptotic mechanism of Mor against grass carp reovirus (GCRV) in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells. The results showed that exposing GCRV-infected cell to 6.3 μg mL −1 of Mor for 96 h avoid ca. 50% apoptosis . Meanwhile, Mor had lower cytotoxicity than ribavirin (Rib) as the value of safe concentration was threefold higher than effective concentration and the compound could ensure sufficient into and out of cells within 4 h when tested at the maximal safe concentration. Mor blocked the GCRV-induced cytopathic effects and eliminated nucleocapsids in CIK cells to keep the normal morphological structure. Moreover, the expressions of viral protein genes were significantly inhibited especially the guanylyl transferase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase related expression. Furthermore, GCRV caused Bcl-2 down-regulation and Bax mitochondrial translocation was prevented by treatment of CIK cells with Mor. The downstream effector, caspase activity was also significantly inhibited in Mor treated cells. The potential mechanism might be that mitochondrial apoptotic signals were not activated by the intervention of Mor for targeting viral gene expression. Taken together, Mor showed high anti-GCRV activity and had been proved as a secure and promising agent in viral controlling in aquaculture industry.

Background. Luofushan-Baicao Oil (LBO) is an essential oil-rich traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula that is commonly used to treat cold, cough, headache, sore throat, swelling, and pain. However, the anti-influenza activities of LBO and the underlying mechanism remain to be investigated. Methods. The in vitro anti-influenza activity of LBO was tested with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and plaque assays. The effects of LBO on the expressions of viral nucleoprotein and cytokines were evaluated. In the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid- (Poly I: C-) induced inflammation model, the influences of LBO on the expression of cytokines and the activation of NF-κB P65 (P65) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) were tested. After influenza A virus (IVA) infection, mice were administered with LBO for 5 days. The lung index, histopathologic change, the expression of viral protein, P65, and IRF3 in the lung tissue were measured. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines in serum were examined. Results. In vitro, LBO could significantly inhibit the infection of IVA, decrease the formation of plaques, and reduce the expression of viral nucleoprotein and cytokines. LBO could also effectively downregulate the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-β and the activation of P65 and IRF3 in Poly I:C-treated cells. In the IVA-infected mice model, inhalation of LBO with atomizer could decrease the lung index, alleviate the pathological injury in the lung tissue, and reduce the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6. LBO could significantly downregulate the expression of viral protein (nucleoprotein, PB2, and matrix 2 ion channel) and the phosphorylation of P65 and IRF3 in the lungs of mice. Conclusion. The therapeutic effects of LBO on treating influenza might result from the regulation of the immune response of IVA infection. LBO can be developed as an alternative therapeutic agent for influenza prevention.

In vivo and in vitro antiviral effect and mechanisms of rhein against nervous necrosis virus

Xiang Liu,Bing-Ke Li,Qin-Xue Liu,Peng-Fei Li,Fei Ling,Gao-Xue Wang

Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is a major threat to the global aquaculture industry, resulting in huge economic losses. In this study, we evaluated a naturally anthraquinone, rhein, as a potential therapeutic agent against NNV. Rhein effectively inhibited NNV-induced cytopathic effects (CPE) at a concentration of 18.84 μM, with an inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) against NNV replication of 8.77 μM. Moreover, the study revealed a possible anti-NNV mechanism. Rhein could disrupt NNV-induced S-phase cell cycle arrest by inhibiting ATP synthesis, and cell cycle arrested in S phase is favorable for NNV replication, which in turn inhibits NNV replication. The therapeutic effect of rhein was also evaluated in vivo , where the survival rate of NNV infected grouper was increased by 26.7% with the treatment of 10 mg/kg rhein. Our findings demonstrated the potential of rhein as a pharmacological compound that exerts significant antiviral activity against NNV by modulating the cell cycle and ATP synthesis. Consequently, rhein has shown significant promise as a medication for the prevention and treatment of viral infections in aquaculture.
