Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is an infectious disease that causes serious economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. To better understand the pathogenesis of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), three PRRSV strains with different molecular markers and virulence were used to infect MARC-145 cells. A total of 1804 proteins were identified, and 233 altered proteins and 72 signaling pathways involved in the proteomic profiling of virus-infected MARC-145 cells increased with the virulence of the PRRSV strain. The three types of viral strains shared a common pathway—the electron transport reaction in mitochondria—in the infected-MARC-145 cells. Moreover, the antisense pathway was the most variable of all significant signaling pathways for the highly virulent SX-1 strain, indicating that this unique pathway may be connected to the high virulence of the SX-1 strain. Our study is the first attempt to provide a proteome profile of MARC-145 cells infected with PRRSV strains with different virulence, and these findings will facilitate a deep understanding of the interactions between this virus and its host.

Introduction
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the causative agent of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), is an important pathogen in the swine industry, and it causes reproductive failure in pregnant sows and respiratory disorders in pigs of all ages1. As a member of the Arteriviridae family, PRRSV is an enveloped, linear, single positive-stranded RNA virus, and it is similar to the equine arteritis virus, lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus, and simian hemorrhagic fever virus2. PRRSV can be classified into two distinct genotypes: type 1 (European type) and type 2 (North American type)3,4. In vivo, this virus mainly infects pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs)5,6,7, whereas in vitro, MARC-145 cells are a good platform to study viral replication, pathogenesis, and host response8,9,10,11.
In life cycle of cells, there are some natural antisense transcripts (NATs), which are reverse complementarity with mRNAs12. These NATs, also named antisense RNAs or natural regulatory RNAs, are small molecules and non-coding RNAs, mediating regulation and generally inhibiting mRNA transcription and/or translation or inducing their rapid degradation13,14. Signals regarding antisense RNA transcription and regulation were named the antisense pathway, in which PSF (Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein-associated-splicing factor), P54 (Non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein) and MATR3 (matrin-3) are major proteins15,16,17. PSF is a DNA- and RNA- binding protein, involved in regulation of signal-induced alternative splicing and homologous DNA pairing18. The PSF-P54 heterodimer associated with MATR3 may play a role in nuclear retention of defective RNAs19. PSF also binds to and represses gene promoter region, such as CTBP1, P53, SMAD3 and P2120,21.
To explore the cellular mechanisms of PRRSV infection, mRNA expression has been analyzed at both molecular and cellular levels11,22. However, mRNA abundance is not always consistent with protein expression levels23. In recent years, proteomics analysis has been used to identify cellular protein expression profiles related to PRRSV infection24,25,26. Most reports of the proteomics analysis of PRRSV have described two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (MS) approaches24,25,27. In this study, we performed isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) labeling coupled with 2D/LC (liquid chromatography)–MS/MS analysis to detect the comparative protein profile of MARC-145 cells infected with different PRRSV strains28. Three differential virulent strains were used in this study, which are all belong to genotypes: type 2. SX-1 was a highly virulent strain which characterized with a 30aa deletion in nonstructural protein 2 (Nsp2) and isolated from domestic pigs in 200829. The moderate virulent ZCYZ strain with a 54aa deletion in Nsp2 was isolated from hybrid wild boars in 200930. The SD1 strain was a classic PRRSV strain with no deletion in Nsp2 which was mild virulent to pigs and isolated from domestic pigs in 200431. This new method provided novel information regarding the proteomics of MARC-145 cells infected with different PRRSV strains.
Experimental Procedures
Cells and Viruses
MARC-145 cells were obtained from Shandong Key Lab of Animal Disease Control and Breeding. PAMs were harvested from 6-week-old clinically healthy piglets that were free of PRRSV, porcine circovirus, and Mycoplasma spp. PAMs were isolated, cultured, and infected as described preciously32. The PRRSV SD1 strain with no deletion in nonstructural protein 2 (Nsp2) was isolated from domestic pigs in 200431, and the SX-1 strain with a 30aa deletion in Nsp2 was isolated from domestic pigs in 200829. The virulence of SX-1 is high in pigs, as verified by animal infection experiments29. The ZCYZ strain with a 54aa deletion in Nsp2 was isolated from hybrid wild boars in 200930. The virulences of the SX-1, ZCYZ, and SD1 strains are high, moderate, and mild, respectively, in pigs, as verified by animal infection experiments29,30,31.
Sample Preparation, Digestion, and Labeling with iTRAQ Reagents
MARC-145 cells were incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in DMEM medium (Gibco, Invitrogen, CA) supplemented with 8% fetal bovine serum (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Cells were inoculated with MOI = 0.1 of the PRRSV SX-1, ZCYZ, or SD1 strain.
After being resuspended, sonicated, and quantified, cell samples were cysteines-blocked and digested with trypsin gold, according to the iTRAQ protocol (Applied Biosystems). The control cells were labeled with iTRAQ tag 118, and the three samples (SX-1-infected, ZCYZ-infected, and SD1-infected cells) were labeled with tags 113, 115, and 121, respectively. The labeled samples were then mixed prior to online 2D LC–MS/MS analysis.
LC-ESI-MS/MS Analysis and Data Analysis
After fractionation through strong cationic exchange using the Shimadzu LC-20AB HPLC pump system, the fraction was resuspended and centrifuged. The peptides were subjected to nanoelectrospray ionization followed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in an LTQ Orbitrap Velos (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) coupled online to the HPLC. For MS scans, the m/z (mass–charge ratio) scan range was 350–2000 Da.
Relative quantification and protein identification were performed using ProteinPilotTM software 4.0.8085 with the Paragon algorithm (version 4.0.0.0) as a search engine. Each MS/MS spectrum was searched against a database of primate sequences (NCBInr, taxid9443). All identified proteins were grouped using the ProGroup algorithm (ABI) to minimize redundancy. The bias correction and background correction options were executed.
Gene Ontology, Pathway Analysis, and Protein Signal Network Construction
Protein center software was used to analyze the functional distribution of these identified proteins. Pathway analysis was used to identify significant pathways of the differential genes according to KEGG, BioCarta, and Reatome. Fisher’s exact test and the χ2 test were used to select the significant pathways, and the threshold of significance was defined by P-values and false discovery rate (FDR).
To elucidate the differential protein–protein interactions and the signal transduction during PRRSV infection, signal networks were constructed to analyze the protein networks of MARC-145 cells infected by three PRRSV strains with different virulence. Each differentially expressed protein was analyzed and integrated into the network to elucidate the interactions.
Confirmation of Proteomic Data in MARC-145 Cells and PAMs
Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were simultaneously performed in MARC-145 cells and PAMs to confirm proteomic data. An equivalent amount of protein was separated using 12% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The fractionated proteins were then transferred electrophoretically to a PVDF membrane (Millipore, Bedford, MA) and blocked with TBS-T containing 5% bovine serum albumin at 4 °C overnight. The membranes were stained with goat anti-PSF polyclonal antibody (Santa Cruz, CA) at 1:200 dilutions, goat anti-annexin A2 (ANXA2) polyclonal antibody (Santa Cruz, CA) at 1:200 dilutions, and mouse anti-β-actin monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz, CA) at 1:200 dilutions. After incubation at 37 °C for 1 h, immunoreactive protein bands were visualized with a chemiluminescence subtract using the ECL plus Western blot detection system (Kodak, NY). The quantification of protein blots was performed using Photoshop CS5 (Adobe, San Jose).
Total cellular RNA was extracted from MARC-145 cells or PAMs using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Canada) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The quantification of RNA was performed with a Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE USA), and 1 μg of total RNA was reverse-transcribed using the PrimeScript RT reagent kit (TaKaRa, China). cDNA was amplified using the SYBR Premix EX Taq II (TaKaRa, China). The primers used for the amplification of different target cDNAs are listed in Table 1. Quantification of the differences between the groups was performed using the 2−ΔΔCt method. β-actin was used as the normalizing gene to compensate for potential differences in cDNA amounts.
Gene Silencing with siRNA
MARC-145 cells grown to 60–70% confluence in 6-well cell culture plates were transfected with PSF siRNA, using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Briefly, 60 pmol of siRNA was diluted in 250 μL of serum-free OptiMEM medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and 5 μL of Lipofectamine RNAiMAX was diluted in 250 μL of OptiMEM. After incubation for 5 min at room temperature, the diluted RNA and Lipofectamine RNAiMAX were combined and incubated again for 20 min at room temperature. Then, 500 μL of the mixture was added dropwise to each well. The plates were incubated at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator for 8 h, and the mixtures were replaced with fresh complete medium and incubated for an additional 40 h before the silencing efficiency was measured using immunoblotting analysis. Scrambled siRNA was used as a negative control.
Results
PRRSV-Infected MARC-145 Cells and iTRAQ Analysis
After inoculation with PRRSV SX-1, ZCYZ, or SD1 strains of MOI = 0.1, the MARC-145 cells were collected at 48 hpi and used for the iTRAQ experiment. Uninfected MARC-145 cells served as a mock control. After digestion, quantification and labeling were performed according to the iTRAQ protocol (Applied Biosystems)33, and the 4-plex iTRAQ experiments were conducted.
Gene Ontology and Pathway and Protein Signal Network Analyses
Functional annotation of the 1804 identified proteins was initially performed using the Protein Center software. A P-value of <0.05 and an FDR of <0.05 in a two-sided Fisher’s exact test were selected as significant criteria. Three main types of annotations were obtained from the gene ontology consortium website: cellular components, molecular function, and biological distribution (Fig. 1). A number of the identified proteins were involved in cellular and metabolic processes and biological regulation. Moreover, the molecular function of the identified proteins was associated with binding and catalytic activity. A total of 233 differentially expressed proteins were discovered in this study. Furthermore, 105 proteins were identified as differentially expressed in Group I (SX-1 vs. MARC-145), including 46 upregulated proteins and 59 downregulated proteins (Table 2); 84 proteins were identified as differentially expressed in Group II (ZCYZ vs. MARC-145), including 59 upregulated proteins and 25 downregulated proteins (Table 3); and 44 proteins were identified as differentially expressed in Group III (SD1 vs. MARC-145), including 25 upregulated proteins and 19 downregulated proteins (Table 4). In the three groups, the upregulated and downregulated differential proteins involved in significant pathways were sorted through the enrichment of signaling pathway categories (Fig. 1).
In Group I (SX-1 vs. MARC-145), the significant signaling pathways of upregulated proteins included the antisense pathway, caspase cascade in apoptosis, TNFR1 signaling pathway, FAS signaling pathway (CD95), integrin signaling pathway, HIV-1 Nef: negative effector of Fas and TNF, etc. (Fig. 2A). By contrast, the significant pathways of the downregulated proteins included the mTOR signaling pathway, mechanism of gene regulation by peroxisome proliferators via PPARa (alpha), Ahr signal transduction pathway, oxidative reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway, malate–aspartate shuttle, etc. (Fig. 2B). In Group II (ZCYZ vs. MARC-145), the significant pathways corresponding to the upregulated proteins included the proteasome complex, citric acid cycle, regulation and function of ChREBP in the liver, opposing roles of AIF in apoptosis and cell survival, shuttle for transfer of acetyl groups from mitochondria to the cytosol, etc. (Fig. 2C). The significant pathways of the downregulated proteins were the regulation of spermatogenesis by CREM, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) Receptor Ptc1 regulates cell cycle, CBL-mediated ligand-induced downregulation of EGF receptors, role of the PI3K subunit p85 in the regulation of actin organization and cell migration, Rac 1 cell motility signaling pathway, etc. (Fig. 2D). In Group III (SD1 vs. MARC-145), the significant pathways corresponding to upregulated proteins included the caspase cascade in apoptosis, TNFR1 signaling pathway, FAS signaling pathway (CD95), HIV-I Nef: negative effector of Fas and TNF, SARS-coronavirus life cycle, and glycolysis pathway (Fig. 2E). The significant pathways of the downregulated proteins included CARM1 and regulation of the estrogen receptor, Pelp1 modulation of estrogen receptor activity, electron transport reaction in mitochondria, and downregulation of MTA-3 in ER-negative breast tumors (Fig. 2F).
A signaling network was used to establish possible interactions among the differentially expressed proteins. In MARC-145 cells infected with SX-1, the most central proteins are NCL, RPLPO, HSPD1, RPS3, HSPA8, P54, HNRNPM, TCP1, VIM, HSP90AA1, MATR3, SYNCRIP, YMHAE, EEF1G, FLNA, HNRNPA2B1, PTBP1, ATP5A1, CCT3, RBMX, CCT8, ANXA2, CLTC, HNRNPU, LMNA, AHNAK, and FLNB (Fig. 3A). In MARC-145 cells infected with ZCYZ, the most central proteins included HSPA8, DDX3X, ATP5A1, YWHAE, EEF2, YWHAZ, GAPDH, HNRNPA2B1, SYNCRIP, ANXA2, HNRNPM, RPL18A, FLNB, and PHB (Fig. 3B). In MARC-145 cells infected with SD1, NCL, DDX3X, FASN, FLNA, HSPA8, PGK1, ANXA2, RBMX, ATP5A1, HNRNPAB, and LMNA exhibited as the most central proteins (Fig. 3C). These proteins tended to be more essential than noncentral proteins in the modular organization of the protein–protein interaction network.
Confirmation of Proteomic Data
To validate the findings of differentially expressed proteins identified by the iTRAQ labeled LC–MS/MS system, PSF and ANXA2 were analyzed using Western blotting (Fig. 4A), and β-actin was used as an internal control. The results revealed that PSF was upregulated in both MARC-145 cells and PAMs infected with SX-1 at 48 hpi, whereas Annexin A2 was downregulated in both MARC-145 cells and PAMs infected with SX-1 at 48 hpi. Further quantitative analyses demonstrated that PSF and ANXA2 expression significantly differed between the PRRSV-infected and control groups (Fig. 4B). Similar results were obtained from the quantitative real-time PCR assay (Fig. 4C). Taken together, the Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR results were consistent with those of the iTRAQ-coupled 2D LC–MS/MS analysis.
Knockdown of Endogenous PSF Genes Decreases Replication of the PRRSV SX-1 Strain
The PSF protein is associated with various functions, including RNA splicing, viral replication, genetic recombination, and cancer suppression34,35,36. After SX-1 infection, PSF protein expression levels were increased. To clarify the function of PSF in the viral replication cycle, the effect of decreasing the amount of intracellular PSF on the replication of PRRSV was further examined using target-specific RNA interference. Therefore, MARC-145 cells were transfected with PSF siRNA duplexes designed to specifically silence the expression of the PSF gene. As shown in Fig. 5A, MARC-145 cells transfected with PSF siRNA exhibited an approximately 82% decreased level of endogenous PSF protein compared with the cells transfected with scrambled, noneffective siRNAs (Fig. 5B). The reduction in PSF protein concentration resulted in a significant decrease in viral yield through the TCID50 quantitative method; particularly, a 12.7-fold decrease at 60 hpi was observed in SiPSF-transfected groups compared with scramble-transfected groups (Fig. 5C). However, no significant effect on the viral yield of the ZCYZ or SD1 strains was noted, indicating that PSF has a different effect on the various virulent strains of PRRSV. Taken together, these results revealed that PSF has a unique upregulated expression and is required for the effective infection of the highly virulent PRRSV SX-1 strain.
Discussion
Understanding the changes in cellular protein levels after exposure to PRRSV is helpful for elucidating the molecular mechanism associated with functional alterations. We were, in this study, the first to apply an iTRAQ-2D LC–MS/MS method for the proteome profiling of MARC-145 cells infected with PRRSV strains with different virulence. The functional roles of the differentially expressed proteins associated with PRRSV infection are discussed as follows.
In Group I (SX-1 vs. MARC-145), the differentially expressed proteins were mostly involved in morphogenesis, protein synthesis, metabolism, stress response, the receptor complex, and endocytosis. FLNB, FLNA, LMNA, and LMNB1 were supposed to involve an alteration of cytoskeletal networks and cellular communication. HSPD1, HSPA8, HSP90AA1, and HSPE1 were related to stress response37. In addition, they acted as molecular chaperones facilitating the assembly of multiprotein complexes, participating in the translocation of polypeptides across cell membranes and to the nucleus, and aiding in the proper folding of nascent polypeptide chains. HSPA8, also known as HSP70, is mainly found in both the cytosol and nucleus of mammalian cells, playing key roles in the cytosolic endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial import machinery38. The upregulated expression of HSP70 can protect PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells against apoptosis and be conducive to the replication and spread of the virus, indicating that HSP70 is associated with the pathogenesis of this virus. As a member of the annexin family, ANXA2 is highly expressed in eukaryotic cells and localizes in the cytosol39. Precious reports have implicated ANXA2 in the replication of certain viruses39,40,41. Regarding PRRSV, ANXA2 can interact with the PRRSV Nsp9 protein and be incorporated into virions42. Importantly, ANXA2 is beneficial for PRRSV replication in vitro43. The cytoskeleton protein of vimentin (VIM) acts as the receptor complex of PRRSV and forms a complex with Nsp2 by using the viral N protein as an intermediate44,45. CLTC (clathrin) is a major protein component of the cytoplasmic face of intracellular organelles, the so-called coated vesicles and coated pits. It has been reported that the entry of PRRSV into cells occurs by specific binding to the outer cell membrane, followed by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. First, the PRRS virions bind to cell-surface receptors; then, they are delivered intact into the endosome through clathrin-coated pits and vesicles. The entire process was demonstrated and proven using confocal microscopy46,47,48.
In Group II (ZCYZ vs. MARC-145), an interesting discovery that differed from other groups was that the expressed proteins, including PSMA1, PSMA2, PSMA7, PSMB4, and PSMD1, were involved in the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway (UPP). This pathway is the major nonlysosomal process responsible for the breakdown of most short-lived and long-lived proteins in mammalian cells. In addition, this pathway controls various major biological events—avoidance of host immune surveillance, viral maturation and viral progeny release, oncogenesis, transcriptional control, signal transduction, receptor downregulation, and antigen processing—via the breakdown of specific proteins49. Many viruses have been reported to evolve different strategies to utilize this pathway for their own benefits. For example, the ubiquitin–proteasome system has been suggested to be required for p53 inactivation, apoptosis suppression, viral transcription, and regulation of the human T-cell leukemia virus 150,51. Adenovirus and coronavirus can also make use of the UPP for ubiquitination52,53. Recently, the ovarian tumor domain of PRRSV Nsp2 was reported to possess ubiquitin-deconjugating activity, which inhibits NF-κB activation through the prevention of iκBα degradation by interfering with its polyubiquitination process54. Nsp11 protein, which has a unique and conserved endoribonuclease, inhibits NF-κB activation by specifically removing lysine 48 (K48)-linked polyubiquitin chains55.
In Group III (SD1 vs. MARC-145), only 44 differentially expressed proteins, which was the smallest number among the three groups, were found in the MARC-145 cells infected with a mild virulent SD1 strain. These differentially expressed proteins were mainly related to cell morphology, protein synthesis and metabolism, heat stress response, etc. The central proteins included NCL, DDX3X, FASN, FLNA, HSPA8, and ANXA2. NCL (also called nucleolin) is a type of cellular skeleton protein with the primary function of binding with proteins and nucleic acids. DDX3X is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that has ATP-binding activity, nucleic acid- and protein-binding activity, and helicase activity. It is mainly involved in species interactions. FASN is mainly related to fatty acid and energy metabolism. FLNA (filament protein A), a skeleton protein in cells, not only has the ability to bind with proteins, nucleic acids, and transcription factors but also possesses the function of signal transduction.
Antisense RNAs, also referred to as natural antisense transcripts or natural regulatory RNAs, are small molecules that mediate regulation and generally inhibit mRNA transcription and/or translation or induce their rapid degradation13,14. Signals regarding antisense RNA transcription and regulation were named the antisense pathway, in which PSF and P54 are major proteins15,16,17. After infection with the PRRSV SX-1 strain, PSF and P54 protein expression was upregulated (Fig. 2A), and the antisense pathway was the most variable of all the significant signaling pathways for the highly virulent SX-1 strain; however, this finding was not observed in the signaling pathways for the moderately virulent ZCYZ strain or the mildly virulent SD1 strain (Fig. 2A). Hence, target-specific RNA interference was used to decrease endogenous PSF protein levels to verify its function in PRRSV infection. After decreasing PSF protein concentration, the viral yield of SX-1 significantly decreased, whereas the viral yield of the ZCYZ and SD1 strains were not significantly affected (Fig. 5), indicating that PSF protein has different functions in various virulent PRRSV strains. As a major protein of the antisense pathway, the silencing of PSF expression is expected to affect antisense pathway function. Accordingly, the molecular mechanism of PSF and antisense pathway function in the infection of different virulent PRRSV strains will be assessed in further research.
Conclusions
We displayed the “colorful” proteome profile of MARC-145 cells infected with different PRRSV strains using the iTRAQ coupled with 2D LC–MS/MS approach for the first time. A total of 233 significantly altered proteins were identified, and we proved that PSF protein has different functions in various virulent PRRSV strains. The study provided an abundance of useful information to study the diversification of MARC-145 cells infected with different PRRSV strains, and these data would help to understand the interactions between this virus and its host.
