Article Abstract
To investigate the roles and explore the altered expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs in chicken embryos in response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection, deep sequencing was performed. Then, a conjoint analysis of small RNA-seq and mRNA-seq was performed to screen interactional miRNA⁻mRNA pairs during NDV infection. In total, 15 and 17 up- and downregulated miRNAs were identified that potentially targeted 4279 and 6080 mRNAs in NDV-infected chicken embryonic tissues, respectively; in addition, 595 upregulated and 480 downregulated mRNAs were identified. The conjoint analysis of the obtained data identified 1069 miRNA⁻mRNA pairs. Among these pairs, 130 pairs were related to immune or inflammatory responses. The relationship between gga-miR-203a and its target transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) was confirmed using a dual-luciferase reporter system and a real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. Overall, the discovery of miRNAs, mRNAs, and their potential pairing relationships, which may be involved in the regulation of NDV infection, will facilitate our understanding of the complex regulatory relationship between the host and the virus.

Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) and Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) are highly infectious diseases of waterfowl, causing significant harm to the global poultry industry. Early detection and diagnosis of NDRV and MDRV in clinical samples are crucial for effectively preventing and controlling these diseases. This study developed a duplex crystal digital PCR (dPCR) assay for the differential detection of NDRV and MDRV.

In this study, we identified a new chicken-specific protein, named chicken interferon-related antiviral protein (chIRAP) after sequence analysis and comparison, which inhibited the proliferation of various viruses including influenza A virus (IAV) and Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) in vitro, and chicken embryos with high expression of chIRAP reduced IAV infection. Mass spectrometry analysis of chIRAP interacting proteins and screening of interacting proteins affecting the function of chIRAP revealed that the deletion of endogenous chicken peroxiredoxin 1 (chPRDX1) significantly reduced the antiviral effect of chIRAP. In order to clarify the functional site of chPRDX1 affecting the antiviral effect of chIRAP, we constructed the point mutants of chPRDX1 based on the results of molecular docking (D79A, T90A, K93A, Q94A, R110A, R123A), and screened the sites affecting the antiviral effects of chIRAP by knockdown of endogenous chPRDX1 combined with the overexpression mutant strategy, the results showed that the mutations in the sites affected the antiviral effects of chIRAP to different degrees, with D79A being the most significant, and the D79A mutation of chPRDX1 reduces the ability of chPRDX1 to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Recent work has indicated that oncolytic virotherapy leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD) as an important mechanism of action; however, the underlying cell death pathways leading to ICD have been less explored. Our previous data demonstrated that chimeric oncolytic recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-Newcastle disease virus (rVSV-NDV) has a strong immune-stimulating potential that seems to be mediated by immunogenic syncytial oncolysis. In this work, we aimed to investigate the role of apoptosis and necroptosis in mediating syncytial cell death.

Viral oncolysis is considered a promising cancer treatment method because of its good tolerability and durable anti-tumor effects. Compared with other oncolytic viruses, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has some distinct advantages. As an RNA virus, NDV does not recombine with the host genome, making it safer compared with DNA viruses and retroviruses; NDV can induce syncytium formation, allowing the virus to spread among cells without exposure to host neutralizing antibodies; and its genome adheres to the hexamer genetic code rule (genome length as a multiple of six nucleotides), ensuring accurate replication, low recombination rates, and high genetic stability.
