Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Both CpG oligodeoxynucleotides and double-stranded RNA (poly I:C) have documented effects as treatments against several viral diseases in fish. However, as stand-alone treatments their effects have been modest. We have tested here whether CpG and poly I:C, alone or in combination induce protection against Salmonid Alphavirus (SAV), the causative agent of pancreas disease in Atlantic salmon. Our results revealed a significant reduction of viraemia 2 weeks after ip injection of the combined treatment and 1 week after challenge with SAV subtype 3, followed by reduced SAV induced heart pathology 3 weeks later. The SAV titers in blood samples from the combination group were lower as compared to single treatments with either CpG or poly I:C. Surprisingly, reduced SAV levels could also be found in fish as long as 7 weeks after receiving the combination treatment. The expression of IFN and to a lesser extent IFNa and Mx was up-regulated in head kidney and spleen 5 days after the fish had been treated with CpG and poly I:C. Furthermore, the complement factor C4 was depleted in serum 8 weeks post treatment, suggesting complement activation leading to C4 consumption. We hypothesize that the CpG/poly I:C-induced protection against SAV3 is mediated by mechanisms involving type I and type II IFN induced antiviral activity and complement mediated protective responses.
