(HIRRV) is an ongoing threat to the aquaculture industry. The water temperature for the onset of HIRRV is below 15°C, the peak is about 10°C, but no mortality is observed over 20°C. Previous studies found the positive signal of matrix protein of HIRRV (HIRRV-M) was detected in the peripheral blood leukocytes of viral-infected flounder. Flow cytometry and indirect immunofluorescence assay showed that HIRRV-M was detected in mIgM B lymphocytes in viral-infected flounder maintained at 10°C and 20°C, and 22% mIgM B lymphocytes are infected at 10°C while 13% are infected at 20°C, indicating that HIRRV could invade into mIgM B lymphocytes. Absolute quantitative RT-PCR showed that the viral copies in mIgM B lymphocytes were significantly increased at 24 h post infection (hpi) both at 10°C and 20°C, but the viral copies in 10°C infection group were significantly higher than that in 20°C infection group at 72 hpi and 96 hpi. Furthermore, the B lymphocytes were sorted from HIRRV-infected flounder maintained at 10°C and 20°C for RNA-seq. The results showed that the differentially expression genes in mIgM B lymphocyte of healthy flounder at 10°C and 20°C were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways. Lipid metabolism and Amino acid metabolism were enhanced at 10°C, while Glucose metabolism was enhanced at 20°C. In contrast, HIRRV infection at 10°C induced the up-regulation of the Complement and coagulation cascades, FcγR-mediated phagocytosis, Platelets activation, Leukocyte transendothelial migration and Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity pathways at 72 hpi. HIRRV infection at 20°C induced the up-regulation of the Antigen processing and presentation pathway at 72 hpi. Subsequently, the temporal expression patterns of 16 genes involved in Antigen processing and presentation pathway were investigated by qRT-PCR, and results showed that the pathway was significantly activated by HIRRV infection at 20°C but inhibited at 10°C. In conclusion, HIRRV could invade into mIgM B lymphocytes and elicit differential immune response under 10°C and 20°C, which provide a deep insight into the antiviral response in mIgM B lymphocytes.
(HIRRV)是水产养殖业的持续威胁。HIRRV 的发病水温低于 15°C,高峰期约为 10°C,但在 20°C 以上不会观察到死亡率。先前的研究发现,HIRRV 的基质蛋白(HIRRV-M)的阳性信号在受病毒感染的比目鱼外周血白细胞中被检测到。流式细胞术和间接免疫荧光检测显示,在 10°C 和 20°C 下维持的受病毒感染的比目鱼中,HIRRV-M 被检测到在 mIgM B 淋巴细胞中,10°C 时 22%的 mIgM B 淋巴细胞被感染,而 20°C 时 13%的 mIgM B 淋巴细胞被感染,表明 HIRRV 能够侵入 mIgM B 淋巴细胞。绝对定量 RT-PCR 显示,在感染后 24 小时(hpi),10°C 和 20°C 时 mIgM B 淋巴细胞中的病毒拷贝数均显著增加,但在 72 hpi 和 96 hpi 时,10°C 感染组的病毒拷贝数明显高于 20°C 感染组。此外,从维持在 10°C 和 20°C 的 HIRRV 感染比目鱼中分离出 B 淋巴细胞进行 RNA-seq。结果表明,10°C 和 20°C 时健康比目鱼 mIgM B 淋巴细胞中的差异表达基因主要富集在代谢途径中。10°C 时,脂质代谢和氨基酸代谢增强,而 20°C 时葡萄糖代谢增强。相比之下,10°C 时 HIRRV 感染诱导补体和凝血级联、FcγR 介导的吞噬作用、血小板激活、白细胞穿过内皮迁移和自然杀伤细胞介导的细胞毒性途径在 72 hpi 时上调。20°C 时 HIRRV 感染诱导抗原加工和呈递途径在 72 hpi 时上调。随后,通过 qRT-PCR 研究了参与抗原加工和呈递途径的 16 个基因的时间表达模式,结果表明,20°C 时 HIRRV 感染显著激活该途径,但在 10°C 时抑制该途径。总之,HIRRV 可以在 10°C 和 20°C 下侵入 mIgM B 淋巴细胞,并引发不同的免疫反应,这为 mIgM B 淋巴细胞中的抗病毒反应提供了深入的了解。
