It has been confirmed that the baculovirus-insect cell line is suitable for the replication, propagation, and secretion of shrimp virus in vitro. The study aimed to produce a clone of Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) within S2 cells to improve viral production compared to the previous model. The results showed that S2 cells were permissive for MrNV and the produced virus was useful for testing MrNV infection and investigating viral pathogenesis.
It has been established that baculovirus-insect cell line is applicable for shrimp virus replication, propagation and secretion in the in vitro culture system. We thus aimed to produce Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) clone within S2 cell to improve viral production over the previous model using Sf9 cell. Upon the transfection of genomic RNA1 and RNA2 into S2 cells, the recognizable cellular changes including cytoplasmic swelling and clumping of cells were observed within 24 h. The culture media containing secreted MrNV particles were retransfected into healthy S2 cells and similar cellular changes as with the first transfection were observed. Immunohistochemistry analysis of the re-infecting S2 cell revealed an intense immunoreactivity against MrNV capsid protein confirming that S2 cell was permissive cells for MrNV. In vivo infectivity test using P. merguiensis as a model animal exposed to the secreted MrNV revealed the presence of RNA2 fragment in shrimp tissue accompanied with the sign of whitish abdominal muscle at 24 h post-infection (p.i.). In addition, the number of shrimp hemocytes decreased at 6-24 h p.i. and returned to the normal level at 48 h p.i., whereas a significant upregulation of immune-related genes including HSP70 and trypsin was noted. These data suggested that rescued MrNV produced in S2 is practically useful for MrNV infection test in which their natural virion inoculae are difficult to obtain. In addition, the molecular basis of viral pathogenesis can further be investigated which should be beneficial for any antiviral therapy developments in the future.
