Summary
The research article centers on the use of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and its potential to rapidly protect against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in livestock.
Objective
The primary objective of this study is to explore alternative means to rapidly protect against FMDV. Previously, the scientists delivered the porcine type I interferon gene (poIFN-α/β) using a human adenovirus vector to protect swine. However, the high doses needed limited its commercial application. This led them to investigate the use of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE) empty replicon particles (VRP).
Methodology
- The researchers used VRP containing either the gene for green fluorescent protein (VRP-GFP) or poIFN-α (VRP-poIFN-α).
- In vitro and in vivo tests were conducted to examine the ability of VRPs to halt FMDV replication.
- These VRPs were used as a pretreatment on bovine and swine cell lines.
- The FMDV infection was significantly stymied post-treatment, up to 120 hours.
Results
- Mice pretreated with VRPs were protected from death when they were challenged with a lethal dose of FMDV 24 hours later.
- Protection was noticed as early as 6 hours after treatment and it lasted for at least 48 hours.
- The protection was found to be linked with the initiation of an antiviral response and production of IFN-α.
- A number of genes were upregulated 6 hours after the treatment. Both the number of upregulated genes and the actual upregulation level increased at 24 hours.
Significant Findings
The study concluded that the chemokine IP-10, which is brought on by IFN-α and VRP-GFP, plays a vital role in protection against FMDV. The rapid protection provided by VRP could provide a valuable alternative or addition to vaccination programs in efforts to control FMDV.
