Publication Open Access Characterization of a recombinant Sendai virus vector encoding the small ruminant lentivirus gag-P25: antiviral properties in vitro and transgene expression in sheep(BMC, 2025-03-07) Gómez, Álex; Glaría Ezquer, Idoia; Moncayola, Irati; Echeverría Garín, Irache; Arrizabalaga, Javier; Rodríguez Largo, Ana; Blas, Ignacio de; Lacasta, Delia; Pérez, Estela; Pérez, Marta María; Diego, Alicia de; Miguel, Ricardo de; Lee, Benhur; Luján, Lluís; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaSmall ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) cause multisystemic chronic inflammatory disease and significant economic losses in sheep and goats worldwide. However, no vaccines or therapies are currently available. In this study, a recombinant Sendai virus (SeV) vector encoding the SRLV gag-P25 gene (rSeV-GFP-P25) from the EV1 strain was generated using In-FUSION cloning and rescued using the SeV reverse genetic system. Transgene expression and stimulation of innate immunity and interferon-stimulated genes (ovine A3Z1, OBST2 and SAMHD1) were evaluated in ovine skin fibroblasts (OSF) transduced with SeV-GFP and rSeV-GFP-P25. Additionally, to characterize the effect of the SRLV restriction in transduced OSF, the SRLV DNA load was quantified at different times post-transduction and post-infection with strain EV1. Using immunohistochemistry and image analysis, transgene expression and tissue distribution of recombinant P25 were studied in two lambs inoculated intranasally, one with rSeV-GFP-P25 and the other with SeV-GFP. rSeV-GFP-P25 induced efficient and transient transgene expression in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, OSF transduced with rSeV-GFP-P25 presented upregulation of TLR2, TLR3, TLR6, TLR7, RIG-I, MyD88 and IFN-β, whereas SeV-GFP did not induce TLR6 or IFN-β upregulation. Among the interferon-stimulated genes, OBST2 was significantly upregulated after transduction with rSeV-GFP-P25 compared with the empty vector. SRLV restriction gradually increased and persisted after transduction with SeV-GFP and rSeV-GFP-P25, with OSF transduced three times showing cumulative restriction. Forty-eight hours post-inoculation in vivo, marked P25 expression was observed in ciliated epithelial cells and submucosal macrophages/dendritic cells of the nasal mucosa. This study reinforces the important role of the innate immune response in controlling SRLV infection and suggests that rSeV-GFP-P25 is a potential vaccine candidate against SRLV.Publication Open Access Sendai virus, a strong inducer of anti-lentiviral state in ovine cells(MDPI, 2020) Pablo Maiso, Lorena de; Echeverría Garín, Irache; Rius-Rocabert, Sergio; Luján, Lluís; Garcin, Dominique; Andrés Cara, Damián de; Nistal Villán, Estanislao; Reina Arias, Ramsés; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta ElikaduraSmall ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are widely spread in the ovine and caprine populations, causing an incurable disease aecting animal health and production. Vaccine development is hindered owing to the high genetic heterogeneity of lentiviruses and the selection of T-cell and antibody escape mutants, requiring antigen delivery optimization. Sendai virus (SeV) is a respiratory paramyxovirus in mice that has been recognized as a potent inducer of innate immune responses in several species, including mouse and human. The aim of this study was to stimulate an innate antiviral response in ovine cells and evaluate the potential inhibitory eect upon small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infections. Ovine alveolar macrophages (AMs), blood-derived macrophages (BDMs), and skin fibroblasts (OSFs) were stimulated through infection with SeV encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP). SeV eciently infected ovine cells, inducing an antiviral state in AM from SRLV naturally-infected animals, as well as in in vitro SRLV-infected BDM and OSF from non-infected animals. Supernatants from SeV-infected AM induced an antiviral state when transferred to fresh cells challenged with SRLV. Similar to SRLV, infectivity of an HIV-1-GFP lentiviral vector was also restricted in ovine cells infected with SeV. In myeloid cells, an M1-like proinflammatory polarization was observed together with an APOBEC3Z1 induction, among other lentiviral restriction factors. Our observations may boost new approximations in ameliorating the SRLV burden by stimulation of the innate immune response using SeV-based vaccine vectors.
