Abstract

Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV) is a member of the family Coronaviridae, genus Betacoronavirus, and subgenus Embecovirus that causes neurological disorders, vomiting and wasting disease (VWD), or influenza-like illness (ILI) in pigs. Exosomes regulate nearby or distant cells as a means of intercellular communication; however, whether they are involved in the transmission of viral reference materials during PHEV infection is unknown. Here, we collected exosomes derived from PHEV-infected neural cells (PHEV-exos) and validated their morphological, structural, and content characteristics. Highresolution mass spectrometry indicated that PHEV-exos carry a variety of cargoes, including host innate immunity sensors and viral ingredients. Furthermore, transwell analysis revealed that viral ingredients, such as proteins and RNA fragments, could be encapsulated in the exosomes of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) to nonpermissive microglia. Inhibition of exosome secretion could suppress PHEV infection. Therefore, we concluded that the mode of infectious transmission of PHEV is likely through a mixture of virus-modified exosomes and virions and that exosomal export acts as a host strategy to induce an innate response in replicating nonpermissive bystander cells free of immune system recognition.
