摘要: The WD40 domain is one of the most abundant domains and is among the top interacting domains in eukaryotic genomes. The WD40 domain of ATG16L1 is essential for LC3 recruitment to endolysosomal membranes during non-canonical autophagy, but dispensable for canonical autophagy. Canonical autophagy was utilized by FMDV, while the relationship between FMDV and non-canonical autophagy is still elusive. In the present study, WD40 knockout (KO) PK15 cells were successfully generated via CRISPR/cas9 technology as a tool for studying the effect of non-canonical autophagy on FMDV replication. The results of growth curve analysis, morphological observation and karyotype analysis showed that the WD40 knockout cell line was stable in terms of growth and morphological characteristics. After infection with FMDV, the expression of viral protein, viral titers, and the number of copies of viral RNA in the WD40-KO cells were significantly greater than those in the wild-type PK15 cells. Moreover, RNA-seq technology was used to sequence WD40-KO cells and wild-type cells infected or uninfected with FMDV. Differentially expressed factors such as Mx1, RSAD2, IFIT1, IRF9, IFITM3, GBP1, CXCL8, CCL5, TNFRSF17 were significantly enriched in the autophagy, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and TNF signaling pathway, etc. The expression levels of differentially expressed genes were detected via qRT-PCR, which was consistent with the RNA-seq data. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time that knockout of the WD40 domain of ATG16L1 enhances FMDV replication by downregulation innate immune factors. In addition, this result also indicates non-canonical autophagy inhibits FMDV replication. In total, our results play an essential role in regulating the replication level of FMDV and providing new insights into virus-host interactions and potential antiviral strategies. FMDV is a pathogen that causes highly contagious animal disease worldwide. The WD40 domain of ATG16L1 is necessary for non-canonical autophagy, while dispensable for canonical autophagy. Thus, the WD40 knockout PK15 cell line established by present study could use as a tool to research the impact of non-canonical autophagy on FMDV replication. The results showed that knockout of the WD40 domain of ATG16L1 in PK15 cells could enhance FMDV replication. The results also showed that differentially expressed innate immune factors, such as Mx1, IFIT1, RSAD2, and IRF9, were significantly enriched in the interferon signaling pathway. Our research also indicates non-canonical autophagy inhibits FMDV replication by innate immune, which helps to elucidate the role of the non-canonical autophagy in the host antiviral strategies.
