AI Article Synopsis

  • Duck hepatitis A virus genotype 3 (DHAV-3) significantly impacts the duck industry in China, leading to substantial economic losses.
  • Research involved sequencing the whole transcriptome of susceptible and resistant Pekin ducklings at various time points post-infection, revealing thousands of differentially expressed genes, miRNAs, and lncRNAs.
  • The study highlights the complex interactions of ncRNAs (non-coding RNAs) in regulating immune and metabolic responses during DHAV-3 infection, pointing to potential new treatment targets for infected ducks.

Article Abstract

As the most prevalent pathogen of duck viral hepatitis (DVH), duck hepatitis A virus genotype 3 (DHAV-3) has caused huge economic losses to the duck industry in China. Herein, we obtained whole-transcriptome sequencing data of susceptible (S) and resistant (R) Pekin duckling samples at 0 h, 12 h, and 24 h after DHAV-3 infection. We found that DHAV-3 infection induces 5,396 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 85 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs), and 727 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) at 24 hpi in S vs. R ducks, those upregulated genes were enriched in inflammation and cell communications pathways and downregulated genes were related to metabolic processes. Upregulated genes showed high connectivity with the miR-33, miR-193, and miR-11591, and downregulated genes were mainly regulated by miR-2954, miR-125, and miR-146b. With the construction of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis, we further identified a few aberrantly expressed lncRNAs (e.g., MSTRG.36194.1, MSTRG.50601.1, MSTRG.34328.7, and MSTRG.29445.1) that regulate expression of hub genes (e.g., THBD, CLIC2, IL8, ACOX2, GPHN, SMLR1, and HAO1) by sponging those highly connected miRNAs. Altogether, our findings defined a dual role of ncRNAs in immune and metabolic regulation during DHAV-3 infection, suggesting potential new targets for treating DHAV-3 infected ducks.

Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is a viral pathogen that causes acute, high-mortality hepatitis in ducklings, and vaccination with attenuated live vaccines is currently the main preventive measure against it. However, differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) is crucial for clinical diagnosis and effective disease control. This study aimed to develop a rapid mismatch amplification mutation assay PCR (MAMA-PCR) diagnostic method to simultaneously detect and differentiate between wild-type and vaccine strains.

DHAV-3 is one of the main causative agents of duck viral hepatitis (DVH), an acute and highly lethal infectious disease in duck industry. However, the understanding of the pathogenesis of this virus in ducklings is limited. To dissect the molecular characteristics associated with pathobiology of ducklings to DHAV-3, we applied single-cell RNA-sequencing approach to profile the transcriptome of 1.

Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) caused by duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is a highly contagious and economically important disease of ducklings worldwide. In many parts of the globe, disease outbreaks are reported in spite of vaccinations, probably due to antigenic diversity among DHAV genotypes. We previously reported the first isolation of DHAV-2 (Genotype-2) from ducklings in Tamil Nadu, India.
