Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a swine pathogen that causes postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, associated with a number of other disease symptoms in pigs. It has caused high economic losses for pig industries in China and worldwide. Vimentin is a cytoskeletal protein involved in the lifecycle of numerous viruses. In this study, the role of Vimentin in PCV2 replication in pig alveolar macrophage (3D4/21) cells was studied. A 3D4/21 cell line overexpressing Vimentin was established using a lentivirus expression system, in which PCV2 replication was significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, in the Vimentin silenced 3D4/21 cells, PCV2 replication was significantly reduced. Furthermore, we found that PCV2 infection in 3D4/21 cells promoted Vimentin phosphorylation and rearranged Vimentin distribution in cells. By inhibition of CaMKII pathway, Vimentin phosphorylation was significantly suppressed and PCV2 replication was significantly inhibited. The results in this study indicated that in 3D4/21 cells, PCV2 promoted CaMKIIγ-medicated Vimentin phosphorylation and altered its cellular distributions to accomplish its own replication.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the primary causative agent of porcine circovirus-associated disease, clinically resulting in immunosuppression and co-infections with other pathogens in infected pigs. The mechanism of PCV2 infection remains unclear. In this study, we firstly found that the tetraspanin CD81 in PK-15 cells interacts with PCV2 Cap protein by using virus overlay protein-binding assay combined with mass spectrometry.

Autophagy is a highly conserved degradative process that has been linked to various functions, including defending host cells against pathogens. Although the involvement of autophagy in porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) infection has become apparent, it remains unclear whether selective autophagy plays a critical role in PCV2 restriction. Here we show that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), an adipokine for retinol carrier, initiates the autophagic degradation of PCV2 ORF1 protein.

Porcine circovirus (PCV) is a group of DNA viruses that cause diseases in pigs, with multiple genotypes ranging from PCV1 to PCV4. PCV1 is generally considered non-pathogenic, while PCV2 can cause severe immune system damage, especially associated with porcine multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2 has a genetic homology of about 68 % but differs from PCV1 in antigenicity and phenotype.

Introduction: Variant pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a newly emerged zoonotic pathogen that can cause human blindness. PRV can take advantage of its large genome and multiple non-essential genes to construct recombinant attenuated vaccines carrying foreign genes. However, a major problem is that the foreign genes in recombinant PRV are only integrated into the genome for independent expression, rather than assembled on the surface of virion.
