摘要： Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emergent enteric coronavirus, primarily inducing diarrhea in swine, particularly in nursing piglets, with the additional potential for zoonotic transmission to humans. Despite the significant impact of PDCoV on swine populations, its pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Complement component 3 (C3) plays a pivotal role in the prevention of viral infections, however, there are no reports concerning the influence of C3 on the proliferation of PDCoV. In this study, we initially demonstrated that PDCoV is capable of activating the C3 and eliciting inflammatory responses. The overexpression of C3 significantly suppressed PDCoV replication, while inhibition of C3 expression facilitated PDCoV replication. We discovered that nonstructural proteins Nsp7, Nsp14, and M, considerably stimulated C3 expression, particularly Nsp14, through activation of the p38-MAPK-C/EBP-beta pathway. The N7-MTase constitutes a significant functional domain of the non-structural protein Nsp14, which is more obvious to upregulate C3. Furthermore, functional mutants of the N7-MTase domain suggested that the D44 and T135 of N7-Mtase constituted a pivotal amino acid site to promote C3 expression. This provides fresh insights into comprehending how the virus manipulates the host immune response and suggests potential antiviral strategies against PDCoV.
