PG - 2723-2732 LID - 10.1007/s00705-021-05180-1 [doi] AB - beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2 (ST3GAL2) is a member of the sialyltransferase family that mediates terminal modification of glycoproteins and glycolipids. ST3GAL2 has been found to play a role in obesity, aging, and malignant diseases. In this study, we cloned porcine ST3GAL2 (pST3GAL2) from porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), and its role in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection was investigated by transcriptome analysis. pST3GAL2 was found to be located in the Golgi apparatus, and it was expressed at high levels in PRRSV-infected PAMs. Overexpression of pST3GAL2 resulted in a slight increase in PRRSV proliferation, and the interaction between pST3GAL2 and GP2a of PRRSV was detected by coimmunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-18, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha) was significantly inhibited in pST3GAL2-overexpressing, PRRSV-infected cells and upregulated in PRRSV-infected pST3GAL2-knockout cells, while the pattern of expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) was diametrically opposite. Our results demonstrate that the regulation of pST3GAL2 plays an important role in PRRSV proliferation and functional alterations in virus-infected cells. These results contribute to our understanding of the role of beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2 in antiviral immunity. CI - (c) 2021.
