Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are both highly contagious diseases of small domestic and wild ruminants caused by the PPR virus (PPRV) and the FMD virus (FMDV). In this study, a recombinant PPRV expressing the FMDV VP1 gene (rPPRV/VP1) was generated and FMDV VP1 expression did not impair replication of the recombinant virus in vitro and immunogenicity in inducing neutralizing antibody against PPR in goats. Vaccination with one dose of rPPRV/VP1 induced FMDV neutralizing antibody in goats and protected them from challenge with virulent FMDV. Our results suggest that the recombinant PPRV expressing the FMDV VP1 protein is a potential dual live vectored vaccine against PPRV and FMDV.

Introduction
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious, clinically acute, economically devastating viral disease of wild and domestic cloven-hoofed animals, such as cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep. It is caused by foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV), a member of the family Picornaviridae, genus Aphthovirus. FMDV contains a 7–8-kb, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome that encodes a single polyprotein, which is cleaved into four structural proteins (viral protein (VP)4, VP2, VP3, and VP1) and eight non-structural proteins (L, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D polymerase). The genome is enclosed within a nonglycosylated, icosahedral capsid comprising 60 copies each of VP1–4 [1]. Seven immunologically distinct serotypes (A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia1) were identified on the basis of a VP1 coding region sequence. VP1 is exposed on the surface of viral particles and is the main antigen to elicit a neutralizing antibody response [2, 3]. Currently, FMD is mainly controlled by inactivated virus vaccines, which provide only short-term protection (4–6 months), and may create carrier animals [4, 5].
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious disease of domestic and wild small ruminants caused by the peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) and is responsible for serious socioeconomic problems in some of the poorest developing countries [6–8]. PPR was first reported in the Ivory Coast in 1942 and later found in the Middle and Near East, southwest and central Asia [9–12], and recently in China [13]. PPRV, which is a member of the genus Morbillivirus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae[14], contains a linear, non-segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense, 15948-bp, RNA genome, which encodes six structural proteins, nucleocapsid (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix (M), fusion (F), hemagglutinin (H) and polymerase (L), and two nonstructural proteins, C and V that are genomically encoded in the order of 3′-N-P/C/V-M-F-H-L-5′ [15, 16]. An attenuated PPRV strain, Nigeria/75/1, derived from serial-passage in Vero cells, has been widely used as a safe and efficacious live vaccine to control PPR infections [17].
Several studies have indicated that recombinant paramyxoviruses are effective and genetically stable vectors with many advantages. It is easy to generate recombinant paramyxovirus vectored vaccine candidates using reverse genetic techniques, the recombinant vaccine could be used to prevent two diseases to reduce the costs, and it could potentially be used as a DIVA (Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals) vaccine [18–20]. Rinderpest virus, which is also a member of the genus Morbillivirus, has been used as vector expressing FMDV epitopes [21]. In our previous study [22], reverse genetics for PPRV was successfully established, providing a novel method to develop bivalent, live-vectored vaccines against PPRV and other important viral diseases in goats and sheep, such as FMDV, Rift valley fever, and bluetongue virus. In this study, we constructed a recombinant PPRV expressing FMDV VP1 and its immunogenicity against PPRV and FMDV was evaluated in goats.
Material and methods
Viruses and cells
Live PPRV attenuated vaccine strain Nigeria 75/1 (N75/1) was obtained from the China Institute of Veterinary Drug Control (Beijing, China) who imported it from The Pirbright Institute (Pirbright, United Kingdom). BHK-21 cells (ATCC no.: CCL-10; The American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) and Vero cells (ATCC no.: CCL-81) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco). N75/1 and rescued recombinant PPRV were propagated and titrated in Vero cells cultured in DMEM containing 2% FBS. FMDV strain Asia1/JSL/GSZY/06 (JSL/06) was conserved in Baoshan Bio-pharmaceutical Factory of China Animal Husbandry Industrial Co., Ltd. (Baoshan, China) and propagated in 2–7-day old suckling mice. A 50% goat infective dose was determined in goats [23].
Plasmid construction and rescue of recombinant viruses
Plasmid construction for recombinant PPRV rescue. (A) pN75/1-insertion was constructed previously [22] through insertion of a morbillivirus gene start (GS) sequence, Not I and Pme I sites, gene end (GE) sequence, and CTT intergenic trinucleotides between the P and M genes of genomic PPRV cDNA. (B) The VP1 ORF with a Kozak sequence at the 5' end of the ORF was inserted into plasmid pN75/1-insertion to generate plasmid pN75/1-VP1.
Immunofluorescence assay (IFA)
Vero cells grown in 24-well plates were infected with N75/1 or rPPRV/VP1 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 and incubated for 3 days. The cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline and stained with anti-N75/1 mouse serum [24, 25] or anti-FMDV VP1 rabbit serum (Asia1 type) [26] followed by tetramethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin IgG (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma). Mock-infected cells were used as controls. The fluorescence was observed using an inverted fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany).
Western blotting
Vero cells were infected with N75/1 or rPPRV/VP1 at an MOI of 0.1 and incubated for 5 days, and BHK-21 cells were infected with FMDV JSL/06 at an MOI of 0.1 and incubated for 12–16 h. The N75/1 and rPPRV/VP1 particles were both purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation with 60%, 40% and 20% density (140 000 g). The cell extracts of Vero and BHK-21 and purified virus particles were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane, which was then incubated with anti- FMDV-VP1 rabbit serum (Asia1 type) [26] or anti-PPRV-N rabbit serum produced through immunization with purified recombinant PPRV N expressed in E.coli as the first antibody, and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma-Aldrich) as the secondary antibody. Immunostained proteins were visualized with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine reagent. Mock-infected Vero cells and mock-infected BHK-21 cells were used as controls.
Vaccination and viral neutralizing antibody (NA) assay
One-year-old black goats (a local breed of Yunna Province, China) without neutralizing antibodies to FMDV (titre < 8) and PPRV (titre < 5) were immunized by intramuscular injection at the neck with a 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) of 6 × 106 rPPRV/VP1 or N75/1. Sera were collected at 14, 21, 28, and 40 days post-vaccination for NA assays. The NA to PPRV N75/1 were titrated in Vero cells as described previously [22, 24] and the NA to FMDV JSL/06 was titrated in BHK-21 cells following the protocol recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health (Office International des Epizooties) [23]. Antibody titers were expressed as the reciprocal of the final dilution of serum in the serum/virus mixture which neutralized an estimated 100 TCID50 of virus at the 50% end-point [27].

Results
Generation of recombinant PPRV expressing FMDV VP1
VP1 protein replication and expression of rPPRV/VP1 in Vero cells. (A) Cells infected with rPPRV/VP1, N75/1, or mock-infected were fixed and labeled with anti-N75/1 mouse serum for the presence of PPRV protein (red) or anti-FMDV VP1 (Asia-I type) rabbit serum for the presence of the VP1 protein (green). (B) The N75/1 and rPPRV/VP1 particles were respectively purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation with 60%, 40% and 20% density (140 000 g). Lysates of N75/1- or rPPRV/VP1-infected Vero cells, lysates of FMDV JSL/06-infected Vero cells, N75/1 particles and rPPRV/VP1 particles were respectively probed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting using anti-FMDV VP1 (Asia-I type) rabbit serum and anti-PPRV-N rabbit serum respectively. Mock-infected Vero and BHK-21 cells were used as controls.
Growth of rescued viruses in Vero cells. The viral titers in rPPRV/VP1- or N75/1-infected Vero cells were measured at different days post infection.
rPPRV/VP1 induced FMDV and PPRV NA in goats
Viral NA responses elicited by rPPRV/VP1 and N75/1 in goats. Six goats (nos. 18, 20, 22, 25, 26, and 29) were inoculated by intramuscular injection with rPPRV/VP1 and four goats (nos. 361, 28, 32 and 35) were inoculated by intramuscular injection with N75/1. The sera were collected at 14, 21, 28, and 40 days post-inoculation and were tittered for PPRV NA (A) and FMDV NA (B). The data were analyzed by the two-way ANOVA method using the GraphPad Prism statistical software (**, p < 0.01).
rPPRV/VP1 protects goats from virulent FMDV challenge
Clinical scoring post-challenge with virulent FMDV. Clinical signs of FMD rPPRV/VP1-inoculated goat (nos. 18, 20, 22, 25, 26, and 29) (A) and N75/1 –inoculated goat (nos. 361, 28, 32, and 35) (B) were observed from 2 to 10 days post challenge with FMDV JSL/06, and the clinical signs were scored as described in the Material and methods. Statistical differences were evaluated between two groups by the t-test method using GraphPad Prism statistical software, and the result showed the p < 0.01.
Virusisolation post challenge. Heparinized blood (A) and oropharyngeal swabs (B) for FMDV isolation were respectively collected from six individual rPPRV/VP1-inoculated goats and four individual N75/1-inoculated goats at 2, 4, 7, and 9 days post challenge with FMDV JSL/06. Viruses were isolated by inoculation of BHK-21 cell culture as described in the Material and methods.
Discussion
In the present study, we generated the recombinant PPRV vaccine strain N75/1, which expressed the FMDV VP1 protein. This recombinant virus, rPPRV/VP1, induced 20–40 NA titer against FMDV and a comparable PPRV NA titer to that induced by N75/1 in goats. Moreover, rPPRV/VP1 provided significant protective immunity against FMDV challenge in goats. Our results suggest that rPPRV/VP1 is a potential dual, live-vectored vaccine against PPRV and FMDV.
The synthesis of VP1 gene was based on the sequence of FMDV isolate JSL/06 (GenBank accession no.: GU931682). The FMDV JSL/06 had been adapted in BHK-21 cells and is currently used as a master seed to manufacture inactivated vaccine for the controlling of FMDV Asia 1 in china. We sequenced the vp1 gene of the JSL/06 vaccine master seed and the JSL/06 challenge virus stock. There is no amino acid difference of VP1 between the vaccine seed and the challenge stock, and only one amino acid difference between the synthesized VP1 and that of the vaccine seed or the challenge stock.
We employed PPRV N75/1 as a live vaccine vector because it was shown to be highly immunogenic and induced a prolonged high level of PPRV NA in goats and sheep [8, 17]. The rPPRV/VP1 induced an NA titer against PPRV that was comparable to that of N75/1 in goats and consistent with that of a previous report [22]. rPPRV/VP1 also showed a similar growth titer to the parent virus in Vero cells, which was different from that in a previous report regarding a recombinant rinderpest virus expressing partial sequences of the FMDV capsid VP1 protein [21].
A previous study had described that recombinant RPV expressing partial sequences of the FMDV capsid VP1 protein could not induce detectable neutralizing antibody against FMDV and provide poor protection against FMDV challenge [21]. For this reason, we vaccinated animals with a higher dosage (6 × 106 TCID50) and got improved results in neutralizing antibody response and protection efficacy. Even though this dosage is too high for future field application, our study demonstrates that the strategy of PPRV vectored VP1 vaccine successfully works to induce detectable FMDV neutralizing antibody and provides significant protection against FMDV challenge, because the same antigen in a different animal species or with a different expression vector may result in a significantly different magnitude of immune response. In addition, the form of antigen expression might significantly impact the immune response; cytoplasmically expressed antigens generally have a bias towards presentation through the MHC-I pathway and therefore to induce a CD8+ T cell-mediated response. Secreted or cell membrane displayed antigen may induce more humoral immunity. In future studies, we will try to generate recombinant PPRV expressing the secreted VP1 or entire P1 and hope to get better neutralizing antibody responses with relative lower dosage. We will also try to test if repeat lower dose or combination use with whole virus inactivated vaccine (priming-boost) could improve antibody response and protective efficacy.
Compared to inactivated whole viral vaccine (FMDV NA titer is around 100) [30], rPPRV/VP1 elicited a relatively low level of FMDV NA (titer < 40) in goats, but provided significant protection from challenge of virulent FMDV; however, we can also get better immune effect through two dose vaccination, which could greatly increase the neutralizing antibody titer according to our previous study results [19, 24, 31]. Although the correlation between FMDV NA titer and protective efficacy in cattle has been well established [32–34], previous studies have shown that the protection against FMD is related not only to humoral immunity, but also to cellular immunity [35–37]. Previous studies have also shown that swine immunized with recombinant adenovirus expressing FMDV VP1 were completely protected against virulent FMDV challenge, even though the NA (titer < 40) induced by recombinant adenovirus expressing FMDV VP1 was significantly lower than that in swine inoculated with inactivated FMD vaccine [38, 39]. Also, other reports showed that swine or cattle immunized with adenovirus expressing the FMDV P1 protein were protected against virulent FMDV challenge at post-vaccination day 7, although an NA titer was undetectable [28, 40]. Although rPPRV/VP1 provided significant clinical protection, FMDV was still detected in blood samples or oropharyngeal swabs from partially immunized goats. Similar results were also observed in other studies with inactivated vaccines [4, 41]. These results suggest that rPPRV/VP1 has a potential value for future application. In many countries, goats and sheep develop PPR, which results in huge economic losses and also presents a risk factor for FMD. The use of the live PPRV vaccine as a vector to develop recombinant vaccines against FMDV can control these two important diseases. Vaccination of rPPRV/VP1 provides clinical protection and probably decreases the FMDV transmission among goats or sheep.
To rapidly respond against future potential outbreaks, effective and emergent vaccinations should be developed as soon as possible. Currently, widely used inactivated whole viral FMD vaccine usually requires 7–10 days to develop protective immunity and induces only a short protective period [4, 5, 30]. A priming-boost regime presents an option to generate a rapid immune response and long-lasting protection. However, two doses of vaccination increases vaccination and labor costs. Also, the cost is increased because the inactivated FMD vaccine must be manufactured in a high-level biosafety facility. Using a PPRV vectored vaccine can prime the immune response to FMDV and may induce a long-lasting protection against FMD and PPR without the need for multiple doses of inactivated FMDV vaccine, thereby limiting the costs.
