摘要： The blood-brain barrier (BBB) keeps poisons and infections out of the brain. Some viruses can pass through this barrier and replicate in the central nervous system (CNS). Velogenic Newcastle disease virus (VNDV) is a neurotropic virus that causes avian nonsuppurative encephalitis. VNDV often develops into a chronic infection that seriously affects poultry health in partially immune birds. The routes by which the virus enters the chicken brain are poorly understood. In this study, we discovered that VNDV increased BBB permeability in vivo and in vitro by breaking the tight junction protein zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) continuity of chicken brain microvascular endothelial cells (chBMECs). By investigating the susceptibility of chBMECs to NDV infection, we found that VNDV but not lentogenic NDV was detected in the basolateral compartment in transwell assays after apical infection, suggesting that efficient replication and transcellular transport of the virus across the BBB in vitro. Furthermore, viral replication and BBB permeability were reduced during the early stage of infection by using the dynamin inhibitor dynasore. Our data demonstrate that VNDV invades the chicken brain by infecting and damaging the tight junction of chBMECs directly to increase BBB permeability. VNDV could infect chBMECs via endocytosis. As a result, our findings provide compelling evidence for VNDV entrance into the brain via the BBB, paving the way for the development of medications for NDV prevention and therapy.
